PROXY STATEMENT
 
GENERAL INFORMATION
 
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of KBR, Inc. (“KBR,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”). By executing and returning the enclosed proxy or by following the enclosed voting instructions, you authorize the persons named in the proxy to represent you and vote your shares on the matters described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
 
Subject to space availability, all stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. Admission to the meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis and no guests will be admitted. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m., and the meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. Please note that you may be asked to present valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, when you check in at the registration desk.
 
If you hold your shares in “street name” (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you are required to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date.
 
No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases or packages will be permitted in the meeting.
 
If you attend the meeting, you may vote in person.  If you are not present, your shares can be voted only if you have followed the instructions for voting via the Internet or by telephone, or returned a properly executed proxy; and in these cases, your shares will be voted as you specify. If no specification is made, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. You may revoke the authorization given in your proxy at any time before the shares are voted at the meeting.
 
The record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting is Monday, March 22, 2010. KBR’s common stock, par value $0.001, is the only class of capital stock that is outstanding. As of March 22, 2010, there were 160,538,968 shares of common stock outstanding. Each of the outstanding shares of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote at the meeting. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote will be kept at our offices at the address specified below for ten days prior to, and will be available at, the meeting.
 
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by us to act as election inspectors for the meeting. Except as set forth below, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter will be the act of the stockholders. Except as set forth below, shares for which a holder has elected to abstain on a matter will count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and will have the effect of a vote against the matter.
 
In the election of directors, the candidates for election receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares entitled to be voted, whether or not a majority of the shares present, up to the number of directors to be elected by those shares, will be elected. Shares present but not voting on the election of directors will be disregarded, except for quorum purposes, and will have no legal effect.
 
The election inspectors will treat shares held in street name which cannot be voted by a broker on specific matters in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, known as broker non-vote shares, as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. In determining the outcome of any matter for which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, however, those shares will not have any effect on that matter. Those shares may be entitled to vote on other matters for which brokers may exercise their own discretion.
 
The proxy solicitor, the election inspectors and the tabulators of all proxies, ballots and voting tabulations that identify stockholders are independent and are not employees of KBR.
 
This proxy statement, the form of proxy and voting instructions are being made available to stockholders on or about April 5, 2010, at www.investoreconnect.com.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT VOTING
 
The following are answers to common questions about voting KBR shares at the meeting. If your question is not addressed below or elsewhere in this proxy statement, please contact KBR’s Investor Relations Department at (713) 753-5082.
 
Who is entitled to vote?
 
Holders of record at the close of business on March 22, 2010, which is the record date for the meeting, will be entitled to one vote per share. Fractional shares will not be voted. On the record date, KBR had 160,538,968 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, outstanding.
 
Who is soliciting my proxy to vote my shares?
 
KBR’s Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy, or your authorization for our representatives to vote your shares. Your proxy will be effective for the May 20, 2010 meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting.
 
What constitutes a quorum?
 
For business to be conducted at the meeting, a quorum constituting a majority of the shares of KBR common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote must be in attendance or represented by proxy.
 
How do I give voting instructions?
 
As described on the enclosed proxy card, proxies may be submitted:

 	• 	over the Internet,	
 		
 	• 	by telephone or	
 		
 	• 	by mail.

Table of Contents

What are voting requirements to elect the directors and approve each of the proposals?
 
KBR’s Bylaws provide that, in general, holders of a majority of the voting stock, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders. The directors will be elected by a plurality of the shares of KBR’s common stock cast in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Adoption of the proposal to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm and the stockholder proposals will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of KBR’s common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote.
 
If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, how will my shares be voted?
 
Shares held in street name which are not voted by a broker on a matter in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner, known as broker non-vote shares, will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. In determining the outcome of any matter for which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, however, those shares will not be counted for or against the matter unless you provide instructions to your broker. Your vote is important, and we request that you vote your shares as promptly as possible by returning your instructions to your broker.
 
What happens if I abstain or withhold my vote on any proposal?
 
Abstentions are counted as present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. Abstentions from voting will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the election of directors. Abstentions will be included in the voting tally and will have the same effect as a vote against the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm and the stockholder proposals.
 
Does KBR offer electronic delivery of proxy materials?
 
Yes. KBR encourages you to reduce printing and mailing costs by signing up for electronic delivery of KBR stockholder communications. With electronic delivery, you will receive documents such as the Annual Report and the proxy statement as soon as they are available, without waiting for them to arrive in the mail. Electronic delivery also can help reduce the number of bulky documents in your personal files and eliminate duplicate mailings. To sign up for electronic delivery, please follow the instructions on your proxy card to vote by internet at www.proxyvote.com and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access stockholder communications electronically in future years.
 
What is “householding?”
 
In accordance with notices that KBR sent to certain stockholders, KBR is sending only one copy of its meeting materials to stockholders who share the same address, unless they have notified KBR that they want to continue receiving multiple copies. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs.
 
If you received a householded mailing this year and you would like to have additional copies of the Annual Report and/or proxy statement mailed to you, or you would like to revoke your consent to the householding of documents, please submit your request to 1-800-542-1061. You will begin to receive individual copies within 30 days after your request.
 
Unfortunately, householding for bank and brokerage accounts is limited to accounts within the same bank or brokerage firm. For example, if you and your spouse share the same last name and address, and you and your spouse each have two accounts containing KBR stock at two different brokerage firms, your household will receive two copies of the notice or meeting materials — one from each brokerage firm. To reduce the number of duplicate sets of the notice or meeting materials your household receives, you may wish to enroll some or all of your accounts in our electronic delivery program. See “Does KBR offer electronic delivery of proxy materials?”

PROPOSAL No. 1
 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
Our Board of Directors is “classified” into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, with Messrs. Utt and Curtiss being designated Class I directors, Messrs. Huff, Lyles and Slater being designated Class II directors and Messrs. Carroll and Blount being designated Class III directors. The size of our Board of Directors is currently set at seven members.
 
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the members of the Board of Directors serve for three-year terms and hold office until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Class II directors will serve until the annual meeting of our stockholders to be held in 2011, and Class III directors will serve until the annual meeting of our stockholders to be held in 2012. The terms of the current Class I directors will expire on the date of the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accordingly, two persons are to be elected to serve as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Management’s nominees for election by the stockholders to those two positions are the current Class I members of the Board of Directors, Messrs. Curtiss and Utt. Both nominees have indicated his willingness to serve, if elected. If either of the nominees declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as we may designate. We have no reason to believe that either of the Class I nominees will be unable to serve if elected. If a quorum is present, the nominees for Class I director receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as Class I directors.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of each Class I director nominee listed below. Properly dated and signed proxies, and proxies properly submitted over the Internet and by telephone, will be so voted unless stockholders specify otherwise.
 
The following biographical information is furnished with respect to each of the Class I director nominees for election at the meeting and each incumbent member of the Board of Directors. The information includes age as of March 22, 2010, present position, if any, with KBR, period served as director, and other business experience during at least the past five years. In each case, when reviewing the qualifications of the Directors, the Board considered expertise that is useful to KBR and complementary to the background and experience of other Board members so that an optimum balance of skills and expertise on the Board can be achieved and maintained. For additional information regarding the qualifications the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board consider in the nomination process, see “Corporate Governance — Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee — Qualifications of Directors.”

The Board concluded that Mr. Utt should continue to serve as a Director and as Chairman of the Board because of his role as the Chief Executive Officer of KBR. The Board has determined that having Mr. Utt serve as Chairman of the Board is the most effective form of governance for KBR, because of the complexity of KBR’s business and Mr. Utt’s accomplished leadership since the inception of KBR as an independent public company, among other factors. For additional information regarding Mr. Utt’s role as Chairman of the Board, and the counter-balancing measures present in the Board leadership structure, see “Corporate Governance — Board of Directors Leadership Structure.”

In light of the importance of KBR’s relationship with the U.S. government as a primary provider of logistical support for U.S. forces deployed in the Middle East and elsewhere, the Board of Directors considered Mr. Lyles’s distinguished experience in the U.S. Air Force, especially his command of the Air Force Material Command, as the most important factor in concluding that Mr. Lyles should continue to serve on the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
Corporate Governance Materials
 
We are committed to good corporate governance and to effective communication with our stockholders. The roles, duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors and each committee of the Board of Directors are summarized below. To ensure that our stockholders have access to our governing documents, we provide copies of our Code of Business Conduct and Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters of each of the committees of our Board of Directors on our website at www.kbr.com, and copies will be provided to any stockholder who requests them by writing to our Investor Relations Department at: 601 Jefferson Street, Suite 3400, Houston, Texas 77002.
 
Role of the Board of Directors
 
The Board of Directors represents the interests of our stockholders in perpetuating a successful business. It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to provide oversight of the effectiveness of management’s policies and decisions, including the execution of its strategies, with a commitment to enhancing stockholder value over the long term. To this end, Board members are expected to act in the best interests of all stockholders, be knowledgeable about our businesses, exercise informed and independent judgment and maintain an understanding

Table of Contents

of general economic trends and conditions as well as trends in corporate governance. In addition, it is our Board’s policy that Board members are expected to make every effort to attend the meetings of the Board and committees of the Board upon which they serve, as well as stockholder meetings. All of KBR’s incumbent directors attended seventy-five percent or more of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and of committees on which they served during the periods that they served during 2009, except that Mr. Lyles did not attend three of the nine Audit Committee meetings and four of the ten Board meetings held during 2009. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that all Directors should attend our annual stockholder meetings and all of our directors attended our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
 
Independence Standards
 
At this time, all of our directors are independent, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and outlined below, except our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Utt, who does not qualify as an independent director.
 
A director will be considered independent under our Corporate Governance Guidelines if he or she:

 	• 	has no material relationship with KBR;	
 		
 	• 	has not been employed by us or any affiliate of ours during the preceding three years, and no member of the director’s immediate family has been employed as an executive officer of ours or any of our affiliates during the preceding three years;	
 		
 	• 	has not received, and does not have an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the preceding three years, more than $100,000 in direct compensation from KBR, other than director’s fees, committee fees or pension or deferred compensation for prior service;	
 		
 	• 	is not a partner or an employee of KBR’s independent auditor, and was not during the past three calendar years a partner or employee of KBR’s independent auditor who personally worked on KBR’s audit;	
 		
 	• 	does not have an immediate family member who is a partner of KBR’s independent auditor or an employee of KBR’s independent auditor who participates in that firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice or was during the past three calendar years a partner or employee of KBR’s independent auditor who personally worked on KBR’s audit;	
 		
 	• 	is not a current employee and does not have an immediate family member who is a current executive officer of any company that has made payments to, or received payments from, KBR or any of its affiliates in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million or 2% of our or such other company’s consolidated gross revenues; and	
 		
 	• 	has not (and has not had a family member who) within the preceding three years served as an executive officer with a company for which a KBR executive served on its compensation committee.	
 
The definition of independence and compliance with this policy will be reviewed periodically by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All directors complete independence questionnaires at least annually and our Board makes determinations of the independence of its members under the listing standards of the NYSE and the SEC requirements for Audit Committee members. Our Board believes that its membership should include no more than two directors who are also employees of KBR. While this number is not an absolute limitation, other than the Chief Executive Officer, who should at all times be a member of the Board, employee directors should be limited only to those officers whose positions or potential make it appropriate for them to sit on the Board.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert Determinations
 
Our Board has determined that each member of its Audit Committee is financially literate and qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K and, as described above,

10

Table of Contents

that each member of the Audit Committee is independent, as defined by our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE’s listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
Board of Directors Leadership Structure
 
Since the inception of KBR as an independent public company in April 2007, Mr. Utt has served as CEO and Chairman of the Board. We believe that the leadership of KBR’s Board of Directors is best served by combining the roles of Chairman and CEO, and that Mr. Utt is highly qualified to serve in his role.
 
The CEO and Chairman of the Board is responsible to the Board for the overall management and functioning of the company. The Chairman is joined in the leadership of the Board by our Lead Director, Mr. W. Frank Blount, who was elected by the non-management directors. Our Lead Director has significant board experience, as described in his biographical information in this proxy statement, and works closely with Mr. Utt and the Board on risk oversight and governance matters. Mr. Blount has served as the company’s Lead Director, as well as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, since KBR’s separation from its prior parent.
 
KBR’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the Lead Director to perform a strong role in the leadership of the Board, as follows:

 	• 	The Lead Director presides at executive sessions of the non-management directors at each regular Board meeting and sets the agenda for these sessions.	
 		
 	• 	The Lead Director approves meeting agendas for each regular Board and committee meeting and approves the information to be sent to the directors with respect to each meeting.	
 		
 	• 	The Lead Director presided at the executive session of the Board held in December 2009 to evaluate the performance of our CEO. In addition, he has a key role in communicating to the CEO, after approval by the Compensation Committee, the evaluation and compensation of the CEO for the next full year and the results of the Board’s review and approval of management succession plans and development programs.	
 		
 	• 	As Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Blount leads the director selection and nomination process and the assignment of directors to committees of the Board.	
 
KBR’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the following checks and balances regarding the role of the CEO and Chairman:

 	• 	The CEO may not serve on any committees of the Board, as only non-management directors may do so.	
 		
 	• 	One of the elements of the CEO’s evaluation is the extent to which he keeps the Board informed on matters affecting the company and its operating units.	
 		
 	• 	At least two-thirds of the Board must be independent directors. In practice, Mr. Utt has been the only management director at KBR since its inception as an independent public company. Each of our other directors is independent, as defined under the listing standards of the NYSE.	
 
KBR’s Board of Directors has determined that its current leadership structure is appropriate as of the date of this proxy statement, given the complexity and global nature of KBR’s business and the risks inherent in our business. The Board believes that Mr. Utt, acting in his combined role as Chairman and CEO, is well positioned to facilitate communications with the Board of Directors and shareholders about our complex business. Mr. Utt was appointed CEO in preparation for KBR’s initial public offering by its former parent company, and has served in that capacity since 2006. Under Mr. Utt’s leadership, KBR’s business has undergone significant transformation, including a reorganization into more strategically-aligned business units, and evolution from a wholly-owned subsidiary with significant support from its parent company into an independent operating company. In addition, Mr. Utt has the full confidence of the Board. For all these reasons, the Board has determined that the most appropriate form of leadership for the Board of Directors is for the CEO, who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company, to serve as Chairman, with strong and independent oversight by the Lead Director and the other non-management directors.

Risk Oversight Role of the Board of Directors
 
KBR’s Board of Directors considers risk oversight to be an integral part of its role, and discussions regarding risks faced by the company are part of its meetings and deliberations throughout the year. Furthermore, at least twice each year, the entire Board receives a report from management regarding significant strategic, operational, financial, and hazard risks determined by management to have a potential significant impact on the company as a whole. The risk report involves both current and emerging risks and is the culmination of a process involving input from all business units and executive leadership. The risk report includes specific strategic, operational, financial and hazard risks, the perceived trend for each of those specific risks — whether increasing, decreasing or stable — and the measures being taken to monitor and mitigate those risks.
 
In addition to the enterprise risk management process described above, the Board of Directors also engages in risk oversight in the area of project revenues. At each meeting, the Board reviews aggregated KBR project revenues measured by type of contract — fixed-price or reimbursable — by country, client and project backlog. In this manner, the Board is informed of the overall risk profile of KBR’s project revenues. The Board also engages in risk oversight through the project approval process, whereby projects reaching a threshold level of expected revenues require Board approval. Fixed-price contracts have a lower threshold level than reimbursable-type contracts because of their potential price and financial risks. In reviewing projects, the Board is presented with management’s assessment of a particular project’s cost exposure associated with operations risk, liabilities and funding risks, among others. In this manner, KBR’s Board is engaged in risk oversight at the outset of the largest projects, which could have a material effect on KBR’s operations.
 
The Board is also engaged in risk oversight through regular reports from its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is charged with reviewing with management the company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and mitigate those exposures. The Audit Committee receives periodic reports from management on these areas of potential exposure, including litigation, liquidity and capital resources, financial reporting and disclosures, regulatory and tax risks, among others. The Audit Committee also receives reports from management regarding compliance risks and Code of Business Conduct matters. The Audit Committee also reviews at least annually KBR’s processes for risk assessment and enterprise risk management and receives in-depth periodic reports from management regarding specific processes designed to monitor and manage risk, such as project estimation procedures and foreign exchange risk management. The Audit Committee conducts private sessions with KBR’s Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Internal Audit and General Counsel at each regular meeting and with KBR’s independent auditors at each meeting prior to the release of quarterly and annual results. The Audit Committee Chairman gives a report of the Audit Committee’s activities to the full Board at each regular meeting and in this manner the entire Board is informed of matters that the Audit Committee determines warrant full Board discussion.
 
Directors’ Meetings and Stockholder Communications with Directors
 
The Board of Directors will meet each year immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to transact such business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Additional regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such times as the Board of Directors may determine, but shall consist of at least four other regularly scheduled meetings. Special meetings may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Corporate Secretary or a majority of the directors in office. KBR’s Bylaws permit action to be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors consent to such action in writing or by electronic transmission. During 2009, the Board of Directors held 11 meetings. The Chairman of the Board presides at all Board meetings. KBR’s Chairman of the Board, William P. Utt, is also our President and Chief Executive Officer.
 
During each regular Board meeting, KBR’s non-employee directors, all of whom have been determined by our Board to be independent under the standards of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE, meet in scheduled executive sessions. Our Lead Director, Mr. W. Frank Blount, presides at all executive sessions of the Board. During 2009, the non-employee directors met without management five times.

12

Table of Contents

In addition, each December our non-employee directors meet in executive session to evaluate the performance of our Chief Executive Officer. In evaluating our CEO, the non-employee directors consider qualitative and quantitative elements of the CEO’s performance, including:

 	• 	leadership and vision;	
 		
 	• 	integrity;	
 		
 	• 	keeping the Board informed on matters affecting KBR and its operating units;	
 		
 	• 	performance of the business (including such measurements as total stockholder return and achievement of financial objectives and goals);	
 		
 	• 	development and implementation of initiatives to provide long-term economic benefit to KBR;	
 		
 	• 	accomplishment of strategic objectives; and	
 		
 	• 	development of management.	
 
In addition, the non-employee directors review annually management succession plans and development programs for senior members of executive management. The evaluation and compensation for the next full year, and management succession plans and development programs will be communicated to the CEO only after review and approval by the Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors (other than the CEO).
 
Management Succession Planning
 
The Board of Directors considers management evaluation and CEO succession planning an important responsibility of the Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our website at www.kbr.com/About/Corporate-Governance/, provide that the Board’s responsibility for effective governance of the corporation includes reviewing succession plans and management development programs for members of executive management. In 2008, the Board of Directors, with input from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Chairman and CEO, developed KBR’s first comprehensive succession plan for all senior management positions. The development process included identification of internal candidates, any development needs for such candidates, and a determination of whether a search for external candidates would be more appropriate.
 
Issues relating to CEO succession planning are also addressed regularly, and no less than annually, by the entire Board. This process is led by the Lead Director on behalf of the non-management directors. As set out in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, KBR’s non-management directors review succession plans and management development programs for members of executive management, including the CEO, on at least an annual basis. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee performs the initial review of the succession plans and makes recommendations to the Board as necessary, the entire Board has primary responsibility for CEO succession planning and develops both long-term and contingency plans for succession of the CEO. This process necessarily involves the development and review of criteria for the CEO position and the assessment of internal candidates against those criteria. Additionally, one of the elements that the CEO is evaluated upon each year by the Compensation Committee is the existence and completeness of a succession plan, including assessment and development of internal candidates for the CEO and top level executive positions. The evaluation and compensation of the CEO for the next full year, including an evaluation of the completeness of aspects of the management succession plans and development programs that are the responsibility of the CEO, are communicated to the CEO by the Lead Director after review and approval by the Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors (other than the CEO).
 
The Board of Directors and Standing Committees of Directors
 
KBR’s Bylaws authorize the Board of Directors to appoint such committees as they deem advisable, with each committee having the authority to perform the duties as determined by the Board. A substantial portion of the analysis and work of the Board is done by standing Board committees. A director is expected to

13

Table of Contents

participate actively in the meetings of each committee to which he or she is appointed. At this time, the Board of Directors has four standing committees to which it has delegated certain duties and responsibilities: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Health, Safety and Environment Committee. Each of the standing committees is comprised entirely of non-employee and, in the business judgment of the Board, independent, directors. The members and chairmen of the respective committees are indicated below:

 	 	 	 	 	 	Nominating and

 	• 	periodically reviewing the compensation paid to non-employee directors (including Board and committee chairpersons) in the form of annual retainers and meeting fees, if any, and making recommendations to the Board regarding any adjustments.	
 
Stockholder Nominations of Directors.   Stockholders may suggest candidates for nomination by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by contacting the Committee in the manner provided above under “Contact the Board.” If selected for nomination by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as described below under “Process for the Selection of Directors,” such candidate will be included in KBR’s proxy statement for the annual meeting of stockholders.
 
Nominations by stockholders may also be made at an annual meeting of stockholders in the manner provided in our Bylaws, although such nominees will not necessarily be included in KBR’s proxy statement. The Bylaws provide that a stockholder entitled to vote for the election of Directors may make nominations of persons for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders by complying with required notice procedures. Nominations shall be made pursuant to written notice to our Secretary at the address set forth on page 2 of this proxy statement, and must be received at our principal executive offices not less than ninety (90) days, nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days, prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The notice shall set forth:

 	• 	as to each person the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director:	

 	• 	the name, age, business address and residence address of the person;	
 
• the principal occupation or employment of the person;
 
• the class and number of shares of KBR common stock that are beneficially owned by the person;

 	• 	all other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and	
 		
 	• 	such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected; and	

 	• 	as to the stockholder giving the notice:	

 	• 	the name and record address of the stockholder;	
 		
 	• 	the class and number of shares of KBR common stock that are beneficially owned by the stockholder;	
 		
 	• 	a representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose the nomination;	
 		
 	• 	any hedging or other transactions entered into with the effect or intent to mitigate loss to, or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, the stockholder; and	
 		
 	• 	a representation whether the stockholder intends to solicit proxies from the holders of at least the percentage of common stock required to elect the nominee.	
 
The proposed nominee may be required to furnish other information as KBR may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as a director. At any meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer may disregard the purported nomination of any person not made in compliance with these procedures.
 
Qualifications of Directors.   Candidates nominated for election or re-election to the Board of Directors should possess the following qualifications:

 	• 	personal characteristics:	

 	• 	highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values;	

16

Table of Contents

			
 	• 	an inquiring and independent mind;	
 		
 	• 	practical wisdom and mature judgment;	

 	• 	broad training and experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education or technology;	
 		
 	• 	expertise that is useful to KBR and complementary to the background and experience of other Board members, so that an optimum balance of members on the Board can be achieved and maintained;	
 		
 	• 	willingness to devote the required amount of time to carrying out the duties and responsibilities of Board membership;	
 		
 	• 	commitment to serve on the Board for several years to develop knowledge about KBR’s principal operations;	
 		
 	• 	willingness to represent the best interests of all stockholders and objectively appraise management performance; and	
 		
 	• 	involvement only in activities or interests that do not create a conflict with the Director’s responsibilities to KBR and its stockholders.	
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the appropriate mix of skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the needs of the Board at a given point in time and shall periodically review and update the criteria. Diversity in personal background, race, gender, age and nationality for the Board as a whole may be taken into account in considering individual candidates, but KBR does not have a policy with regard to any particular aspect of diversity of its directors.
 
Process for the Selection of New Directors.   The Board is responsible for filling vacancies on the Board. The Board has delegated to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee the duty of selecting and recommending prospective nominees to the Board for approval. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers suggestions of candidates for Board membership made by current Committee and Board members, KBR management, and stockholders. Each of the nominees for director at this meeting is an incumbent director recommended by the non-management directors. The Committee may also retain an independent executive search firm to identify candidates for consideration. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider candidates nominated by the stockholders in accordance with our Bylaws. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective candidate should notify KBR’s Secretary, as described in this proxy statement.
 
When the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies a prospective candidate, the Committee determines whether it will carry out a full evaluation of the candidate. This determination is based on the information provided to the Committee by the person recommending the prospective candidate, and the Committee’s knowledge of the candidate. This information may be supplemented by inquiries to the person who made the recommendation or to others. The preliminary determination is based on the need for additional Board members to fill vacancies or to expand the size of the Board, and the likelihood that the candidate will meet the Board membership criteria listed above. The Committee will determine, after discussion with the Chairman of the Board and other Board members, whether a candidate should continue to be considered as a potential nominee. If a candidate warrants additional consideration, the Committee may request an independent executive search firm to gather additional information about the candidate’s background, experience and reputation, and to report its findings to the Committee. The Committee then evaluates the candidate and determines whether to interview the candidate. Such an interview would be carried out by one or more members of the Committee and others as appropriate. Once the evaluation and interview are completed, the Committee recommends to the Board which candidates should be nominated. The Board makes a determination of nominees after review of the recommendation and the Committee’s report.

Code of Ethics
 
KBR has adopted a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. KBR’s code of ethics, known as its Code of Business Conduct, applies to all directors, officers and employees of KBR, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller, and also applies to all employees of KBR and KBR’s agents. KBR has posted its Code of Business Conduct on its website, www.kbr.com. In addition, KBR intends to satisfy the disclosure requirements regarding any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Business Conduct that relates to any element of the definition of code of ethics set forth in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K, including the requirements of Item 5.05 of Form 8-K, by posting such information on its website, www.kbr.com.
 
In addition, we have agreed that, for five years following our initial public offering in November 2006, we will consistently implement and maintain the business practices and standards adopted by the Halliburton Board of Directors for us with respect to internal control procedures relating to the use of foreign agents. We may amend such procedures from time to time during the five-year period with Halliburton’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. In December 2009, in conjunction with our review of all our anti-corruption policies, we sought and obtained Halliburton’s consent to amend our Code of Business Conduct. The revised Code of Business Conduct was approved by the Board of Directors on December 16, 2009.
 
Contact the Board
 
To foster better communication with our stockholders, KBR has established a process for stockholders and other interested parties to communicate with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. The process has been approved by our Board and its Audit Committee and is designed to meet the requirements of the NYSE and the SEC. You may communicate with our Board of Directors or the non-management directors via mail (Board of Directors c/o Director of Business Conduct, KBR, Inc., P.O. Box 3406, Houston, Texas 77253-3406), telephone (1-800-536-4217 (toll-free from the U.S. or Canada) or 770-776-5639 (calling collect from any other country)), or e-mail (fhoukbrbod@kbr.com). Information regarding these methods of communication is also on our website, www.kbr.com, under “Corporate Governance.”

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
 
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, as provided below, with KBR’s management. Based on its review, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.
 
Respectfully submitted,
 
The Compensation Committee of Directors

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
Introduction
 
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains our compensation philosophy, objectives, policies, and practices in place during 2009 with respect to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our current Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our previous CFO, and the other three most highly-compensated executive officers who were employed at the end of 2009, all of whom are collectively referred to as the “Named Executive Officers.” The Named Executive Officers, together with the other members of our Senior Executive Management whose compensation is determined by our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors, are referred to as our “Senior Executive Management.”
 
During 2009, our Compensation Committee met six times to oversee, evaluate and revise our compensation programs.
 
KBR’s Compensation Philosophy, Objectives, Policies and Practices
 
Overview
 
Our Compensation Committee regularly reviews the elements of the individual compensation packages for our Senior Executive Management. Our Compensation Committee delegates to our CEO the duty to approve and administer the individual compensation packages for our other executives and employees, subject to its annual review of such administrative delegation.
 
Our compensation plans are designed to achieve the following primary objectives:

 	• 	provide a clear and direct relationship between executive pay and Company (and Business Unit) performance, both on a short and long-term basis;	
 		
 	• 	emphasize operating performance measures;	
 		
 	• 	link executive pay to measures of stockholder value;	
 		
 	• 	support our business strategies and management processes in order to motivate our executives; and	
 		
 	• 	generally target current market levels of total compensation opportunities near the 50th percentile of the competitive market for good performance and between the 50th and 75th percentile of the competitive market for outstanding performance.	

19

Table of Contents

Our executive compensation program is regularly reviewed so that:

 	• 	the program’s components support our objectives and motivate our executives to achieve business success and generate value for our stockholders; and	
 		
 	• 	the program is administered in a manner consistent with established compensation policies.	
 
The basic elements of our 2009 executive compensation programs are summarized in the table below, and a detailed explanation of each element is set forth under the section titled “Elements of Compensation.” A number of these compensation elements, except for base salary, a portion of the restricted stock units, and certain retirement, health, and welfare benefits, are performance-based and therefore at risk of forfeiture. In addition, the vesting of 100% of our CEO’s and 50% of our other Named Executive Officer’s 2009 restricted stock unit grants and stock options are at risk of forfeiture under the net income performance condition described in the sections titled “KBR Restricted Stock Units” and “KBR Stock Options.”

Element	 	 	Characteristics	 	 	Purpose	
Base Salary (including Supplemental Base Salary)	 	 	Fixed component of pay; targeted near the median of peer companies, with salary being less than or exceeding the median based on experience, performance, and other factors.	 	 	Support market-competitiveness of annual pay for skills and experience necessary to meet the requirements of the executive’s role.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Short-Term Incentives (Annual)	 	 	Performance-based component of pay; payout dependent on Company/Business Unit performance relative to targeted levels. Targeted near the median of peer companies, with payouts being less than or exceeding the median based on Company and Business Unit performance.	 	 	Motivate and reward achievement of, and performance in excess of, our Company’s and Business Unit’s annual goals.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Long-Term Incentives (cash performance award units, restricted stock units, and stock options)	 	 	Performance-based cash awards that are realized based on total stockholder return in relation to our peer companies and return on capital; targeted near the median of peer companies. Restricted stock unit awards in which each unit equals the value of our common stock price and increases and decreases with our common stock price and which are all or partially earned based on the Company having positive net income. Stock options that are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock value on the grant date, increase in value to the extent our common stock price exceeds the exercise price, and are all or partially earned based on the Company having positive net income.	 	 	Reward achievement of our total stockholder return and return on capital goals. Align interests of management and stockholders. Reward achievement of increases in the value of our common stock over the long term. Vesting over time facilitates retention and provides incentives to enhance long-term value.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Supplemental Retirement	 	 	Fixed component of pay. Nonqualified retirement plans.	 	 	Provide retirement benefits for executives whose ability to save in qualified plans is limited; vesting provisions retain talent.	

 

20

Table of Contents

 	 	 	 	 	 	 	

Element	 	 	Characteristics	 	 	Purpose	
Severance and Change-in-Control Protection	 	 	Agreements that provide (i) severance termination benefits (prior to a change-in-control), (ii) double-trigger change-in-control (which requires both a termination of employment and a change-in-control to receive benefits) termination benefits (on or after a change-in-control), and (iii) death, disability, and retirement benefits.	 	 	Support market-competiveness among the Company’s peer companies and promote retention.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Other Generally Available Benefits	 	 	Fixed component of pay. 401(k) plan under which regular employees may defer compensation for retirement; matching contributions equal to 5.5% of eligible compensation. The same or comparable health and welfare benefits (medical, dental, vision, disability insurance and life insurance) are available to regular, full-time employees.	 	 	Provide employees the opportunity to save for their retirement. Provide benefits to meet the health care and welfare needs of employees and their families.	

 
We believe that short-term compensation is an important factor to achieve our goals of attracting, retaining, and motivating high-performing, experienced executives. Annual performance criteria and award levels provide incentives for our executives to focus their efforts on adding value to our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that long-term incentive compensation strengthens our executives’ stake in the Company and aligns their interests with the interests of our stockholders. The combination of performance and vesting components is designed to link the value that our executives receive with strong Company performance over time.
 
Our internal stock nomination process is designed and administered to provide equity award grant dates that are prospective and not retrospective, or back-dated. Stock awards approved by our Compensation Committee are generally effective on the later of the date of the meeting at which the approval occurs or the date of the last signature on the Compensation Committee resolution approving the award, if our Compensation Committee acts without a meeting. Stock option grants approved by our Compensation Committee are never issued with an exercise price below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. For 2009, we granted restricted stock units, stock options, and cash performance awards.
 
Except for equity awards under our long-term incentive program, under which we granted equity compensation in the form of restricted stock units and stock options during 2009, our compensation elements are cash based. There is no pre-established formula for the allocation between cash and non-cash compensation or short-term and long-term compensation. Instead, each year our Compensation Committee determines, at its discretion and business judgment, the appropriate level and mix of short-term and long-term incentive compensation for our Senior Executive Management to reward near-term excellent performance and to encourage commitment to our long-range strategic business goals. To determine the appropriate combination of elements, we consider market pay practices and practices of peer companies, individual performance, and the burn rate of our equity grants in comparison to the burn rate of our E&C and Diversified Peer Groups, as defined below in the section titled “Benchmarking Compensation.”
 
Role of our Compensation Committee
 
Pursuant to its charter, which is available on the corporate governance page of our Web site, www.kbr.com , our Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for establishing our overall compensation philosophy and objectives and for overseeing and evaluating our compensation and employee benefit plans and practices, particularly executive compensation. In 2009, our Compensation Committee met six times, either in person or by telephone, and reviewed, approved, and recommended to our Board of Directors for final approval, the

compensation and equity awards for our Senior Executive Management. Specifically, our Compensation Committee’s role in our executive compensation program in 2009 was as follows:

 	• 	Evaluated and advised our Board of Directors regarding the compensation policies applicable to our Senior Executive Management;	
 		
 	• 	Reviewed and recommended to our Board of Directors:	
 
A. our CEO’s compensation, including salary, supplemental base salary, short-term incentive, and supplemental retirement; and
 
B. the long-term incentive compensation component of our CEO’s compensation;

 	• 	Reviewed our CEO’s recommendations with respect to, and approved, the compensation to be paid to our Senior Executive Management under its purview, which generally included the Section 16 officers of the Company and the Vice President of Internal Audit;	
 		
 	• 	Reviewed and made recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to our incentive compensation and other stock-based plans;	
 		
 	• 	Administered our incentive compensation and other stock-based plans;	
 		
 	• 	Reviewed the risk of our executive compensation programs;	
 		
 	• 	Developed a comprehensive, written appraisal of the CEO’s performance in 2009 to provide vital input to the review of the CEO’s 2010 total compensation package; and	
 		
 	• 	Reviewed and discussed our annual “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” disclosure with management, and recommended to our Board of Directors that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in both our annual proxy statement and our annual report on Form 10-K.	
 
In addition, our Compensation Committee retained a compensation consultant to provide advice and support for executive compensation decisions, as it deemed appropriate. Our Compensation Committee has the sole authority to engage or terminate the services of compensation consultants.
 
Third-Party Consultants
 
Under its charter, our Compensation Committee is authorized to retain and terminate any compensation consultant and has the sole authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. While our Compensation Committee believes that using third-party consultants is an efficient way to keep current regarding competitive compensation practices, our Compensation Committee does not accord undue weight to the advice of outside professional advisors, but instead makes changes in our compensation program in light of whether the program’s intended objectives are being achieved. In 2009, our Compensation Committee used the services of one compensation consultant, Hewitt Associates, LLC (“Hewitt”). Our Compensation Committee engaged, and managed its relationship with, the Hewitt executive compensation consultant directly, and Hewitt reported to the Compensation Committee with respect to all executive compensation matters.
 
During 2009, the nature and scope of Hewitt’s assignment with the Compensation Committee included advising the Compensation Committee, as it needed, with respect to all executive compensation matters under the Compensation Committee’s purview. The material elements of the instructions or directions given to Hewitt with respect to the performance of its duties to the Compensation Committee included engaging Hewitt to provide the Compensation Committee with: (1) the realized compensation of the named executive officers of our Engineering and Construction (“E&C”) Peer Group; (2) an overview of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and umbrella bonus pool arrangements; (3) a review of management’s 2009 executive compensation recommendations for our Senior Executive Management; (4) a summary and observations of realized compensation at our E&C Peer Group; (5) review of the policies, methodologies, and evaluations conducted by our key shareholders’ advisors; (6) a review of our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan in comparison to our E&C Peer Group and our Diversified Peer Group (as defined below in the section titled “Benchmarking Compensation”); (7) a review of the peer groups used to assess the competitiveness of the

22

Table of Contents

Company’s executive compensation programs for the 2008-2009 compensation cycle, as well as consideration to be used for the 2009-2010 compensation cycle; (8) a summary of the key executive compensation and corporate governance topics, trends, and issues for the Compensation Committee to consider in 2009; (9) a competitive market study of executive compensation for the Senior Executive Management; (10) a comparison of the Company’s policies and practices to the standards issued by prominent shareholder advisory groups; (11) a review and analysis of the performance metrics used in the Company’s incentive plans, along with observations of the target-setting process; (12) an assessment of the risk profile of the proposed 2010 performance metrics for the Company’s short-term and long-term incentive plans; (13) an update on executive compensation legislation and regulatory and corporate governance issues; (14) a summary of the progression of our Senior Executive Management’s compensation; (15) a review of the proposed 2010 compensation for our Senior Executive Management; (16) a review of the CEO’s total proposed 2010 compensation relative to the chief executive officers’ compensation at our E&C and Diversified Peer Groups.
 
Hewitt’s fees for executive compensation services to the Compensation Committee in 2009 were $361,943. Outside of providing executive compensation advice, Hewitt provided the following additional services to the Company and its affiliates: (1) acted as our third-party benefit plan administrator, (2) performed limited communications consulting services, and (3) administered KBR’s service award program. Hewitt’s aggregate fees for these additional services, including third-party benefit plan administration and communications and service award work, for 2009 were $5,668,235. The management of our Hewitt relationship with respect to these additional services, including benefit plan administration, communications, and service award work, was the responsibility of our internal benefits department. Management made the decision to engage Hewitt for these additional services. The Compensation Committee reviewed these additional services but did not formally approve them.
 
In 2010, the individuals employed by Hewitt who are the primary consultants working for the Compensation Committee will move to an independent firm, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, which will provide no other services to the Company outside of executive compensation consulting to the Compensation Committee.
 
Benchmarking Compensation
 
The elements of compensation were benchmarked for our Senior Executive Management. In the design and administration of our 2009 executive compensation programs, our Compensation Committee considered competitive market data from two peer groups, our E&C Peer Group and our Diversified Peer Group. Our Compensation Committee also used its discretion and business judgment in determining overall compensation.
 
Our Compensation Committee used the same E&C Peer Group in 2009 as it did in 2008. The E&C Peer Group is comprised of ten companies with primary operations in the engineering, construction, and services industry, against which we believe KBR most competes for employees and business. The compensation data for our E&C Peer Group was obtained from publicly available sources, including proxy statements and Form 4 and 8-K disclosures, and were not adjusted. Following is the list of companies that comprise the E&C Peer Group:
 
E&C Peer Group

Chicago Bridge & Iron Company	 	 	Foster Wheeler Ltd	 	 	The Shaw Group Inc.	
DynCorp International, Inc.	 	 	Granite Construction, Inc.	 	 	URS Corp	
EMCOR Group, Inc.	 	 	Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.	 	 	 	
Fluor Corp.	 	 	McDermott International, Inc.	 	 	 	

 
As a supplement to publicly-available data for the E&C Peer Group, and because there is not a current source of executive pay data specific to the engineering, construction, and services industry, a supplemental group of companies was selected to provide additional data for assessing the competitiveness of our compensation programs. The Diversified Peer Group consisted of 19 companies that were participants in

23

Table of Contents

Hewitt’s Total Compensation Measurement database, crossing multiple manufacturing and operations-focused industries of similar size and scope as KBR. The companies were generally selected based on company size, complexity and performance, and the nature of their principal business operations with specific emphasis on engineering, heavy manufacturing, and industrial services. Consideration was also given to companies based in Houston. In its competitive market review, Hewitt reviewed both raw data and performed regression analyses for benchmark matches made based on individual role and job content.
 
The Compensation Committee believes the Diversified Peer Group appropriately represents both the local Houston and the broader market for key management and technical talent. Following is the list of companies that comprise the Diversified Peer Group:
 
Diversified Peer Group

BJ Services Company	 	 	Dover Corporation	 	 	Rohm and Haas Company
(removed in April 2009)	
Baker Hughes Inc.	 	 	DynCorp International, Inc.	 	 	Service Corp International	
Borg Warner Inc.	 	 	FMC Technologies Inc.	 	 	The Shaw Group Inc.	
Cameron International Corporation	 	 	Foster Wheeler Ltd	 	 	Textron Inc.	
Chicago Bridge & Iron Company	 	 	Goodrich Corporation	 	 	Waste Management Inc.	
Cooper Industries Ltd.	 	 	ITT Corporation	 	 	 	
Cummins Inc.	 	 	McDermott International, Inc.	 	 	 	

 
In July 2009, our Compensation Committee asked Hewitt to review the appropriateness of our E&C and Diversified Peer Groups in the assessment of the competitiveness of our Company’s executive compensation programs. The review analyzed the financial aspects of both our E&C and Diversified Peer Groups, including revenue, net assets, market capitalization, enterprise value, stock price history, and number of employees. It was concluded that the E&C and Diversified Peer Groups provide the basis for reasonable assessments of the competitiveness of pay for our Senior Executive Management, in terms of selected financial metrics and availability of market data. The Compensation Committee elected to maintain the current E&C Peer Group and consider future adjustments as warranted. The Compensation Committee elected to remove Rohm and Haas Company from the Diversified Peer Group because it was acquired by The Dow Chemical Company in April 2009.
 
Role of CEO in Compensation Decisions
 
During 2009, our CEO made recommendations to our Compensation Committee regarding the compensation and incentives for our Senior Executive Management. Our CEO also:

 	• 	recommended performance measures, target goals and award schedules for short-term and long-term incentive awards, and reviewed performance goals for consistency with our projected business plan;	
 		
 	• 	reviewed competitive market data for Senior Executive Management positions; and	
 		
 	• 	developed specific recommendations regarding the amount and form of equity compensation to be awarded to our Senior Executive Management and the aggregate amount and form of equity compensation, by employee level, corporate function, and Business Unit, to be awarded below the Senior Executive Management level.	
 
In addition to what our CEO did in his role, our Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the compensation and incentive awards for our Senior Executive Management.

Executive Compensation Policies
 
Our executive compensation program procedures are guided by policies. Our policies set the parameters around those positions that require approval of compensation by our Compensation Committee and those where delegation to our CEO is authorized. The responsibilities outlined in our Compensation Committee’s charter are supported by an internal process that guides and details the actions to be taken by our Compensation Committee, our CEO, our Senior Executive Management, and staff. These processes coincide with our Compensation Committee’s annual calendar, which details the timing of compensation events and associated Compensation Committee actions.
 
Elements of Compensation
 
Our executive compensation program has been designed to ensure that KBR is able to attract and retain the ideal individual for a position and that its compensation plans support KBR’s strategies, focus efforts, help achieve business success, and align with KBR’s stockholders’ interests.
 
Our 2009 executive compensation program consisted of the following core elements:
 
A. base salary;
 
B. short-term incentives (annual);
 
C. long-term incentives;
 
D. supplemental retirement;
 
E. severance and change-in-control protection; and
 
F. other generally available benefits.
 
A. Base Salary
 
To determine base salary for our Senior Executive Management, our Compensation Committee reviewed (1) market data for comparable positions within the E&C Peer Group, (2) individual performance, and (3) internal equity. Where no E&C Peer Group information was available, our Compensation Committee relied on market data for comparable positions within the Diversified Peer Group. In addition to considering market comparisons in making salary decisions, our Compensation Committee exercises discretion and judgment based on the following factors:

 	• 	level of responsibility;	
 		
 	• 	experience in current role and equitable compensation relationships among our executives;	
 		
 	• 	performance and leadership; and	
 		
 	• 	external factors involving competitive positioning, general economic conditions, and marketplace compensation trends.	
 
No specific formula is applied to determine the weight of each factor, and the factors are considered by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. Salary reviews are conducted annually in which individual performance is evaluated; however, individual salaries are not necessarily adjusted each year. Our Compensation Committee generally established base salaries at competitive levels, using the median pay levels of comparable positions in both the E&C Peer Group and the Diversified Peer Group as reference points. Following the Company’s spin-off from its former parent, a transition of base salaries toward the market median was made based on several factors, including the Company’s (1) new status as an independent public company, (2) increased scope and responsibilities (i.e., the change in status from a division of a company to the corporate level), (3) evolving compensation philosophy, and (4) executives’ experience and performance.
 
During the last quarter of 2008, our CEO presented our Compensation Committee with 2009 salary recommendations for our Senior Executive Management. Our CEO explained to the Compensation Committee that he initially reviewed the median salaries of comparable positions in our E&C Peer Group and Diversified

25

Table of Contents

Peer Group, but took into account internal equity and performance in determining his recommendations. In addition, Hewitt presented its competitive compensation analysis of our Senior Executive Management compensation using E&C Peer Group proxy data and Diversified Peer Group data. After reviewing the information presented by our CEO and Hewitt, our Compensation Committee reduced our CEO’s recommendations slightly to reflect the downturn in the economy. In addition, our Compensation Committee elected to postpone the base salary increases for our Senior Executive Management from January 1, 2009, to April 1, 2009, in light of the weakening of the U.S. financial markets and economy.
 
Messrs. DeNicola, Farley, Rose, and Zimmerman’s base salaries were on average approximately 11.8% below the median for our E&C Peer Group. Messrs. DeNicola, Farley, Rose, and Zimmerman’s salaries were increased by 5.6%, 9.3%, 6.3%, and 14.3%, respectively, because of individual factors, E&C and Diversified Peer Group comparisons and their positions within KBR. Specifically, Mr. DeNicola’s base salary was increased to the median base salary for chief financial officers in our E&C Peer Group because of the depth of his experience as a chief financial officer and based on internal equity. Mr. Farley’s base salary was increased to slightly above the median base salary for general counsel positions in our E&C Peer Group because of his strong leadership with respect to the Company’s high profile legal matters. Mr. Rose’s base salary was increased to be closer but still below the median base salaries for group presidents of both the E&C and Diversified Peer Groups because he had less experience in his role as compared to the other Senior Executive Management. Mr. Zimmerman’s base salary was increased to be closer to the median base salaries for group presidents of both the E&C and Diversified Peer Groups because of his increased responsibility after his Business Unit more than doubled in size due to the Company’s acquisition of BE&K, Inc. and based on internal equity. Our Compensation Committee approved Ms. Carter’s base salary of $475,000, which was negotiated as part of her offer, effective as of her date of hire on October 21, 2009. Ms. Carter’s base salary reflected approximately the median chief financial officer base salary of our E&C Peer Group companies.
 
In addition, our Compensation Committee separately reviewed our CEO’s salary. Based on our Compensation Committee’s review of the data from Hewitt’s analysis of our E&C Peer Group and Diversified Peer Group and a written appraisal of our CEO’s performance in 2008 submitted by the independent Board of Directors, our Compensation Committee elected to increase our CEO’s 2009 base salary by 5% to $840,000 because he successfully managed a major reorganization of the Company and established effective long-term strategies. Our CEO’s salary was approximately 10% below the median of chief executive officers in our E&C Peer Group.
 
Our Compensation Committee, based on recommendations from our CEO and Hewitt’s review of the competitiveness of base salaries, elected to increase base salaries for our Named Executive Officers (other than the CEO) on average approximately 4.6%, to be effective March 1, 2010. Our Compensation Committee elected to maintain Ms. Carter’s base salary at the level agreed to as part of the terms of her employment with the Company, which were negotiated only several months before. In December 2009, the Compensation Committee elected to increase the CEO’s salary by 7.1% to $900,000, effective March 1, 2010, because of the strong performance evaluation that he received from the Board of Directors in December 2009.
 
In addition to the base salary for both 2009 and 2010, our Compensation Committee approved providing our CEO with $100,000 and our other Senior Executive Management with $30,000 in supplemental base salary, which is paid with regular payroll and which is treated as base salary, except for purposes of determining any benefits or payments under any medical, insurance, employee retirement, executive compensation or incentive, supplemental executive retirement, bonus, or severance and change in control plan, program, or agreement. These supplemental base salary payments were approved to provide our Senior Executive Management with additional compensation to make up for the fact that the Company does not provide any perquisites and to be competitive with the companies of our E&C and Diversified Peer Groups that do still provide perquisites.
 
B. Short-Term Incentives (Annual)
 
Our Senior Executive Management was eligible to participate in the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan (the “Performance Pay Plan”) for the 2009 calendar year. The Performance Pay Plan was adopted in

26

Table of Contents

February 2007 as a performance program under the stockholder-approved KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “KBR Stock and Incentive Plan”). The Performance Pay Plan was established under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan to enable KBR to design the annual incentive awards as performance-based awards under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code whenever appropriate and consistent with our compensation philosophy. Our Compensation Committee established the Performance Pay Plan to reward Senior Executive Management for improving financial results for stockholders of KBR and to provide a means to connect cash compensation directly to KBR’s performance.
 
The Performance Pay Plan metrics are reviewed annually by our Compensation Committee. In March 2009, our Compensation Committee, based on the recommendation of our CEO, decided to adopt new performance metrics for the 2009 calendar year. The following performance metrics (and weightings) were adopted by our Compensation Committee for the Corporate officers (which apply for Ms. Carter and Messrs. DeNicola, Farley, and Utt):

 	• 	30% KBR Earnings Per Share (“EPS”);	
 		
 	• 	7.5% KBR Days Billed Accounts Receivable Outstanding (“DBAR”);	
 		
 	• 	7.5% KBR Days Unbilled Accounts Receivable Outstanding (DUAR);	
 		
 	• 	30% KBR Job Income Sold (“JIS”);	
 		
 	• 	15% KBR Net Overhead Expense (“NOE”); and	
 		
 	• 	10% KBR Safety Recordable Incident Rate (“RIR”).	
 
The following performance metrics (and weightings) were adopted by our Compensation Committee for the Business Unit (“BU”) presidents (which apply for Messrs. Rose and Zimmerman):

 	• 	10% KBR EPS;	
 		
 	• 	7.5% BU DBAR;	
 		
 	• 	7.5% BU DUAR;	
 		
 	• 	25% BU Income before Corporate allocations and incentive expense (“BUI”);	
 		
 	• 	25% BU JIS;	
 		
 	• 	15% BU NOE; and	
 		
 	• 	10% BU Safety RIR.	
 
Our Compensation Committee has negative discretion to reduce the payout levels by up to 40% from the attained goals.
 
EPS (Earnings Per Share) measures net income from continuing operations divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted Company shares outstanding. EPS is a measure of the profit and loss statement from Business Unit operating results, overhead management, cash investment, tax management, and partnerships with other companies. This metric helps to align our Senior Executive Management with the interests of our stockholders. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
DBAR (Days Billed Accounts Receivable) and DUAR (Days Unbilled Accounts Receivable) measure the amounts owed by customers. Goals for Threshold, Target and Maximum were set for KBR in total. The result will be based on the December 31, 2009 outstanding billed or unbilled receivables, fourth quarter revenue, and days in the quarter.
 
BU DBAR (Business Unit Days Billed Accounts Receivable Outstanding) and BU DUAR (Business Unit Days Unbilled Accounts Receivable Outstanding) measure the amounts owed by BU customers. Goals for Threshold, Target and Maximum were set for each individual BU (except Ventures and Technology) and KBR

in total. The result will be based on the December 31, 2009 outstanding billed or unbilled receivables, fourth quarter revenue, and days in the quarter.
 
BUI (Business Unit Income) before Corporate allocation and incentive expenses and accruals measures Business Unit job income less Business Unit overhead plus any gains or losses on sales, and excludes incentive-related expenses. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
JIS (Job Income Sold) measures the actual income from new project awards or growth, amendments, or scope adjustments to existing projects for the Company as a whole. JIS for 2009 is focused on maintaining 2008 realized job income in light of the present world-wide economic conditions. Target is set at the 2008 reported job income earned by the Company, less 2008 one-time or unusual transactions, and includes annualizing income from the BE&K acquisition. Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
BU JIS (Business Unit Job Income Sold) measures the actual income from new project awards or growth, amendments, or adjustments to existing projects for each Business Unit. JIS focuses on the growth in backlog for each Business Unit through the signing of new contracts or changes to existing contracts. This metric helps measure and reward sales performance and promotes growth within each Business Unit. Target is 115% of the 2009 annual plan P&L for each Business Unit, Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
NOE (Net Overhead Expense) measures corporate general and administrative overhead expense less any recoveries and without the expense and accruals related to short-term and long-term incentives. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target plus 10%, and Maximum is Target minus 10%.
 
BU NOE (Business Unit Net Overhead Expense) measures Business Unit sales, general and administrative overhead expense less any recoveries without accruals related to short-term and long-term incentives. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target plus 10%, and Maximum is Target minus 10%.
 
Safety or RIR (Recordable Incident Rate) measures the number of Recordable Incidents times 200,000 divided by total KBR work-hours. This metric promotes the safety of all Company employees and affiliates. Safety incentives also help reduce costs for the Company. Target is a 10% improvement over the 2008 actual rate, Threshold is Target minus 10%, and Maximum is Target plus 5%. Our Compensation Committee included a caveat on the safety performance metric such that if there are four or more non-warzone fatalities on an aggregate Company or Business Unit basis, then the safety performance metric payment would be zero. This caveat enforces the point that safety is an incentive for everyone with respect to fatalities.
 
BU Safety (Business Unit Safety) or BU RIR (Business Unit Recordable Incident Rate) measures the number of Recordable Incidents times 200,000 divided by total Business Unit work-hours. BU Safety is Business Unit specific since each Business Unit can have different rates based on type of work and environment the work is performed. This metric promotes the safety of all Company employees and affiliates. Target is a 10% (15% for the Services Business Unit) improvement over the 2008 actual rate, Threshold is Target minus 10%, and Maximum is Target plus 5%. Our Compensation Committee included a caveat on the safety performance metric such that if there are four or more non-theatre fatalities on an aggregate Company and Business Unit basis, then the safety performance metric payment would be zero. This caveat enforces the point that safety is a company-wide incentive.
 
The goals for the performance metrics for the Senior Executive Management in Corporate positions are based upon the performance measures of our Company on a consolidated basis. For our Named Executive Officers, this includes Ms. Carter and Messrs. DeNicola, Farley, and Utt. The performance metrics (other than EPS) used for the Senior Executive Management who are responsible for a Business Unit are based on that Business Unit’s performance. For the Upstream Business Unit, that Named Executive Officer is Mr. Rose. For the Services Business Unit, that Named Executive Officer is Mr. Zimmerman.
 
In March 2009, our Compensation Committee, based on the recommendation of our CEO, decided to revise the Performance Pay Plan incentive reward schedule that was used for the 2008 plan year with the

28

Table of Contents

threshold revised from 40% to 50% and the target revised from 100% to 125%, which allowed for more award potential for individual performance. The maximum payout level remained at 250%. The Compensation Committee has negative discretion for individual performance of up to 40% of the attained goals. The Compensation Committee expects to apply an average of 20% negative discretion to our Senior Executive Management’s Performance Pay Plan achievement to keep the average level of payout similar to what would be paid out if the Performance Pay Plan had a target payout level of 100% and a maximum payout level of 200%, which were the levels used in 2007. The 40% negative discretion range allows for a greater range of measurement on individual performance, while still maintaining section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code qualification. The level of achievement of the annual performance metrics determines the dollar amount of incentive compensation payable to participants.
 
When establishing target levels for the incentive reward schedule for 2009, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, projected Company performance, strategic business objectives, and forecasted general business and industry conditions. Generally, award target levels reflect the benchmarking objectives set by our Compensation Committee and are generally intended to approximate the 50th percentile of our E&C Peer Group (using the Diversified Peer Group data for additional input) for good performance and between the 50th and 75th percentile for outstanding performance. At the time the target levels are established, the outcome is intended to be substantially uncertain but achievable, and to require better than expected performance from our executives. Our Compensation Committee may adopt different target levels for its annual incentive reward schedule from time to time, as it deems appropriate.
 
During 2009, the bonus award opportunities were based on a percentage of base salary 1 assuming attainment of specified threshold, target, and maximum performance levels, which were, respectively: (i) for all of our Named Executive Officers (other than Messrs. Utt and Farley), 35%, 87.5%, and 175%, (ii) for Mr. Utt, 50%, 125%, and 250%, and (iii) for Mr. Farley, 32.5%, 81.25%, and 162.5%. Assuming an average of 20% negative discretion, which the Compensation Committee expected to apply in March 2009, the bonus award opportunities as a percentage of base salary were: (i) for all of our Named Executive Officers (other than Messrs. Utt and Farley), 28%, 70%, and 140%, (ii) for Mr. Utt, 40%, 100%, and 200%, and (iii) for Mr. Farley, 26%, 65%, and 130%. The target award percentages among our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Utt) were set (assuming an average of 20% negative discretion) to be consistent with the median of similar positions among our E&C Peer Group and Diversified Peer Group. On average, the median target bonus of our E&C Peer Group and Diversified Peer Group was between 60% and 70%; however, for internal equity purposes, our Compensation Committee elected to keep the target award percentage for Mr. Farley at 65% and Messrs. DeNicola, Rose, and Zimmerman at 70% (assuming an average of 20% negative discretion). With respect to Mr. Utt, our Compensation Committee elected to increase his target bonus to 100% (assuming an average of 20% negative discretion) because it was closer to the median target bonus of chief executive officers in our E&C Peer Group.
 
In February (for our Named Executive Officers other than our CEO) and March (for our CEO) 2010, our Compensation Committee certified the results under the Performance Pay Plan for the 2009 plan year. Our Compensation Committee elected to make negative adjustments to reduce the compensation due under the Performance Pay Plan for all of our Senior Executive Management based on individual performance and to comply with section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. With respect to our Named Executive Officers, the payouts under the Performance Pay Plan were reduced by approximately 7% for Mr. Utt and 20% for Ms. Carter and Messrs. Farley, Rose, and Zimmerman. Mr. DeNicola did not receive payment under the Performance Pay Plan for the 2009 plan year because he was no longer employed by the Company on the date that the payouts were paid. The following table is a summary of the short-term incentives for the fiscal year 2009, including the target and maximum incentive compensation amounts, performance metric goals and the level attained, and amounts actually paid for each of our Named Executive Officers.

 
1  Base salary for purposes of the Performance Pay Plan does not include certain supplemental base salary payments for our Senior Executive Management. With respect to our CEO, $100,000 was excluded, and for all other Senior Executive Management, $30,000 was excluded for 2009.

Effective as of January 1, 2009, the Performance Pay Plan was amended and restated to include a clawback provision that allows recovery of any incentive award payments determined to be an overstatement due to a material restatement of the Company’s financial results. In May 2009, our Compensation Committee approved revising the clawback provision, effective January 1, 2010, to remove the ‘material’ requirement because the Compensation Committee wanted to strengthen its ability to use the clawback even with respect to an immaterial restatement.
 
In March 2010, our Compensation Committee adopted slightly revised performance metrics and target reward percentages under the Performance Pay Plan for the 2010 calendar year. For KBR Corporate, our Compensation Committee adopted the following revised performance metrics (and weightings): (1) KBR EPS (40%)-Target is $1.73, (2) KBR DBAR (7.5%)-Target is 40.0 days, (3) KBR DUAR (7.5%)-Target is 20.5 days, (4) KBR JIS (30%)-Target is $987 million, and (5) KBR NOE (15%)-Target is $211.2 million. For 2010, the Business Unit metrics for Messrs. Rose and Zimmerman were reclassified as Business Groups to reflect the recent organizational changes within our Company. For the Business Groups, our Compensation Committee adopted the following revised performance metrics (and weightings): (1) KBR EPS (20%)-Target is $1.73, (2) Group DBAR (7.5%)-Target is 48 days with respect to Mr. Rose and 41 days with respect to Mr. Zimmerman, (3) Group DUAR (7.5%)- Target is 11 days with respect to Mr. Rose and 14 days with respect to Mr. Zimmerman, (4) Group BUI (25%)- Target is $336.5 million with respect to Mr. Rose and $103.7 million with respect to Mr. Zimmerman, (5) Group JIS (25%)- Target is $467.6 million with respect to Mr. Rose and $180.1 million with respect to Mr. Zimmerman, and (6) Group NOE (15%)- Target is $88.6 million with respect to Mr. Rose and $60 million with respect to Mr. Zimmerman. In addition, our Compensation Committee maintains negative discretion (up to 40%) to reduce the payout levels based on personal performance.
 
C. Long-Term Incentives
 
KBR has two long-term incentive plans, the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan and the Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan. Under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, our Compensation Committee made the following grants to our Named Executive Officers in 2009: (1) KBR Performance Awards, (2) KBR Restricted Stock Units, and (3) KBR Stock Options. A description of the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, the methodology used by our Compensation Committee to determine the mix of awards to grant, and the KBR Performance Awards, KBR Restricted Stock Units, and KBR Stock Options granted under the KBR Stock Incentive Plan are provided below.
 
The Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan was established solely to maintain the stock options and restricted stock granted to KBR employees under our former parent’s stock and incentive plan that were still outstanding at the time of our separation from our former parent in April 2007 and subsequently converted to KBR stock options and restricted stock. No further grants may be made under the Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan.
 
KBR Stock and Incentive Plan
 
We use long-term incentives to achieve the following objectives:

 	• 	reward consistent achievement of value creation and operating performance goals;	
 		
 	• 	align management’s interests with stockholders’ interests; and	
 		
 	• 	encourage long-term perspectives and commitment.	
 
Long-term incentives represent the largest component of total executive compensation opportunity for our executives. We believe this is appropriate given our belief that executive pay should be closely tied to stockholders’ interests.
 
The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan provides for a variety of cash and stock-based awards, including nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock/units, performance shares/units, stock appreciation rights, and stock value equivalents, also known as phantom stock. The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan allows

31

Table of Contents

the Compensation Committee the discretion to select from among these types of awards to establish individual long-term incentive awards. Our Compensation Committee met in February 2009 to review the amount of shares available under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan for future stock-based awards. In addition, the Committee met in March 2009 to review and approve the amount and appropriate mix of long-term incentive awards to be granted to our Senior Executive Management. The Committee met in December 2009 to review the amount of long-term incentive awards granted to Ms. Carter, our newly-hired CFO, and agreed to defer her grant until March 2010 when 2010 awards would be granted to our Senior Executive Management.
 
For purposes of establishing the amount of the long-term incentive awards, our Compensation Committee engaged Hewitt to provide our Compensation Committee with a review of our Senior Executive Management’s long-term incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee originally targeted the long-term incentive awards at approximately the 50th percentile of our E&C Peer Group, which would have resulted in long-term incentive target values of $4,000,000 for Mr. Utt, $700,000 for Messrs. DeNicola, Rose, and Zimmerman, and $600,000 for Mr. Farley. However, due to the weakening U.S. economy, in March 2009, the Compensation Committee elected to reduce all Named Executive Officers’ long-term incentive awards by 33%. Long-term incentive awards were delivered through a combination of cash-based PAs and equity-based RSUs and NQSOs. Ms. Carter did not receive a similar long-term incentive award in 2009, due to her late hire date.
 
Granting a mix of incentives allows us to provide a diversified yet balanced long-term incentive program that effectively addresses volatility in our industry and in the stock market and maintains an incentive to meet performance goals. Our Compensation Committee granted our Senior Executive Management a mixture of 60% performance awards (based on target value), 25% stock options, and 15% restricted stock units under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The Committee concluded that this mix of performance awards, stock options, and restricted stock units was consistent with the Company’s pay and performance objectives. Specifically, the stock options and restricted stock units (i) are directly tied to our stock price performance and, therefore, directly to stockholder value and (ii) provide a significant incentive for our Senior Executive Management to remain with the Company. The performance awards focus executives to improve long-term returns and reward consistent achievement. Our Compensation Committee awarded a higher percentage of performance awards than stock options and restricted stock units because our Compensation Committee believes that emphasizing performance is more likely to increase shareholder value. Our Compensation Committee decided in favor of granting stock options in addition to restricted stock units under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan as a replacement for a portion of the restricted stock units that our Compensation Committee elected not to grant due to limits under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.
 
In March 2010, our Compensation Committee approved granting a long-term incentive award mixture of 60% performance awards, 25% stock options, and 15% restricted stock units under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.
 
In December 2009, our Compensation Committee amended the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan to strengthen the prohibition on the repricing and exchange of options. Specifically, the following language was added to the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan:
 
Repricing Prohibited.   Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights or cancel outstanding options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for cash, other awards or options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original options or stock appreciation rights without stockholder approval.
 
KBR Performance Awards
 
The KBR Performance Awards are long-term incentive awards designed to provide selected executives with specified incentive opportunities contingent on the level of achievement of pre-established Corporate performance objectives. When establishing target levels of Corporate performance, our Compensation Committee considered, among other things, projected Company performance, strategic business objectives, and

32

Table of Contents

forecasted general business and industry conditions. At the time the target levels were established, the outcome was intended to be substantially uncertain, but achievable, and to require better than expected performance from our executives. The performance awards may only be paid in cash.
 
The KBR Performance Awards were granted on March 4, 2009. Each KBR Performance Award has a target value of $1.00. Performance is based 50% on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”), as compared to our peer group (Chicago Bridge & Iron Company NV, Chiyoda Corp., DynCorp International, Inc., Fluor Corp., Foster Wheeler Ltd, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., JGC Corp., Saipem, The Shaw Group Inc., Technip, and URS Corp.), and 50% on KBR’s Return on Capital (“ROC”). The performance award cycle for both TSR and ROC runs from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2011. The TSR performance metric directly ties the payouts of our performance awards to KBR’s TSR performance relative to its peers, which promotes the interests of our shareholders. The ROC performance metric promotes our employees’ efficiency in using the Company’s capital. The Compensation Committee determined the number of KBR Performance Awards for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 60% and dividing the product by $1.00 (the target value of each KBR Performance Award). Our Compensation Committee decided to use $1.00 as the target value for each KBR Performance Award based on a proposal presented by Towers Perrin in July 2007 in which $1.00 was used as the target value for each KBR Performance Award for the purpose of administering and communicating the award. In addition, the use of $1.00 as a target value for each KBR Performance Award is a means of expressing the value of each award since the number of KBR Performance Awards were granted based on the total target value of long-term incentive awards. The actual value of a KBR Performance Award may increase to a maximum of 200% of $1.00, or $2.00, or decrease to below threshold to 0% of $1.00, or $0.00. The value of KBR Performance Awards for performance between threshold and target or target and maximum will be calculated using linear interpolation. A 3-year performance award cycle was adopted because of the ability to provide for retention.
 
The peer group used for our TSR percentage is slightly different than our peer group used for benchmarking compensation of our Senior Executive Management, as described above under the section titled “ Benchmarking Compensation .” In our peer group used for our TSR percentage, the foreign companies, Chiyoda Corp., JGC Corp., Saipem, and Technip, replaced EMCOR Group, Inc., Granite Construction, Inc., and McDermott International, Inc. due to difficulties in determining compensation data for foreign companies and to provide our Compensation Committee with sufficient data to make meaningful comparisons to the marketplace. The TSR percentage is calculated by subtracting KBR’s TSR ranking as compared to the peer group from the total number of companies in the peer group, including KBR, dividing the difference by the number of companies in the peer group excluding KBR, and multiplying the quotient by 100%. Assuming a peer group of 12 companies (including KBR), the TSR rankings and corresponding percentages are shown in the table below.

LTI TSR Calculation Method

In order to determine the ROC percentages, our Compensation Committee reviewed our Company’s 2009, 2010, and 2011 forecasts for ROC and computed the weighted average over the three-year period. KBR’s

33

Table of Contents

average ROC was 12.7%. In addition, our Compensation Committee revised Hewitt’s data showing the ROC for our E&C Peer Group. The median ROC of our E&C Peer Group was approximately 12.6%, which our Compensation Committee elected to use as the target percentage for ROC. The maximum and minimum percentages for the 2009 performance awards were also based on data prepared by Hewitt showing the ROC for our E&C Peer Group. The 75th percentile of our E&C Peer Group was approximately 24.5%, which our Compensation Committee used as the maximum percentage, and the 25th percentile of our E&C Peer Group was approximately 7.0%, which our Compensation Committee used as the threshold percentage.
 
ROC percentages are calculated using the weighted average of the Company’s net income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders plus (interest expense × (1-effective tax rate)), divided by average monthly capital from continuing operations, with monthly capital from continuing operations equal to average monthly total assets less (average monthly non-interest bearing liabilities plus average monthly non-controlling interest), as reported in the Company’s audited reported financials for the (i) year ended 2009, (ii) year ended 2010, and (iii) year ended 2011, with each year weighted 33 1 / 3 %. For the purpose of these awards, ROC is calculated in the same manner as for the financial reports prepared for use by our senior executives for business purposes and as reported to our Board of Directors. As a result of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 810, which applies beginning in 2009, the definition of net income for determining ROC under the KBR Performance Awards was revised to disregard the change by FASB ASC 810 in the treatment of non-controlling interests. Accordingly, net income for ROC under the KBR Performance Awards beginning in 2009 was defined as net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders.
 
After the end of each performance award cycle, our Compensation Committee will determine the extent to which the performance goals have been achieved, and the amount of the performance award will be computed for each selected executive in accordance with the table below. For results between Threshold and Target and Target and Maximum, the Performance Percentage earned is determined by linear interpolation between the two applicable standards based on the results achieved for the respective performance measures. The following table shows the manner in which the earned value of the performance awards is determined.

For TSR, achievement of the 25th percentile results in a 50% target payout, the 50th percentile in a 100% target payout, and the 75th percentile in a 200% target payout. For ROC, achievement of 7.0% results in a 50% target payout, 12.6% in a 100% target payout, and 24.5% in a 200% target payout.
 
In February (for our Named Executive Officers other than our CEO) and March (for our CEO) 2010, our Compensation Committee certified the results for the KBR Performance Awards that were granted in July 2007. The following table is a summary of the 2007 KBR Performance Awards for the July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2009, performance period and amounts actually paid for each of our Named Executive Officers.

In March 2010, our Compensation Committee elected to place more weighting on TSR than ROC for KBR Performance Awards granted in 2010. The revised weighting is 75% TSR and 25% ROC. The Committee’s rationale for making this change was to place more emphasis on a metric that is aligned more closely with our shareholders’ interests.
 
KBR Restricted Stock Units
 
Our Compensation Committee granted our Senior Executive Management restricted stock units that are subject to a five-year graded vesting schedule, based on service with the Company. In addition, the vesting of 100% of our CEO’s and 50% of our other Senior Executive Management’s restricted stock units are subject to the Company having net income greater than or equal to $0, under certain conditions described below, for the calendar year preceding the annual vesting date. This puts a major component of our CEO’s total annual compensation directly at risk and subject to the performance of the Company. The determination of net income with respect to these restricted stock unit awards will not be reduced by the after-tax earnings impact of: (i) any item that originated, or relates to the period, prior to the executive’s first date of appointment in their current position with the Company, (ii) the negative effect of required changes in accounting principles, or (iii) the negative effect of changes in the tax law. The Compensation Committee determined the number of restricted stock units for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 15% and dividing the product by the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The Committee established the amount of the total long-term incentive value as described above in the section titled “KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.”
 
KBR Stock Options
 
Our Compensation Committee granted our Senior Executive Management nonqualified stock options that are subject to a three-year graded vesting schedule, based on service with the Company. In addition, the vesting of 100% of our CEO’s and 50% of our other Senior Executive Management’s nonqualified stock options are subject to similar net income requirements as the KBR restricted stock units described above. The exercise price of our nonqualified stock options is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The Compensation Committee determined the number of nonqualified stock options for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 25% and dividing the product by the Black Scholes’ value of the nonqualified stock option on the date of grant. The Committee established the amount of the total long-term incentive value as described above in the section titled “KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.”

Total Equity Awards Outstanding for All Employees and Directors
 
As of December 31, 2009, under the Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan, 163,304 shares of restricted stock had not yet lapsed and 803,823 stock options were outstanding. In addition, under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, 136,160 shares of restricted stock and 1,211,056 restricted stock units had not yet lapsed and 1,912,012 stock options were outstanding.
 
D. Supplemental Retirement
 
Our Company maintains the following nonqualified deferred compensation plans: (1) KBR Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, (2) KBR Elective Deferral Plan, (3) KBR Benefit Restoration Plan, and (4) KBR Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan. Our Compensation Committee approved these plans in April 2007 in order to provide a continuation of benefits to our employees who were entitled to such benefits under our prior parent’s nonqualified plans. Our Compensation Committee continues to maintain these plans because they are offered by many of our E&C Peer Group companies.
 
KBR Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
 
The KBR Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) was established to provide competitive retirement benefits (based on a review of our E&C Peer Group and Diversified Peer Group data) to selected executives of KBR. Determinations as to who would receive an allocation for a particular plan year and the amount of the allocation are made in our Compensation Committee’s sole discretion. In March 2009, the Compensation Committee met to review the SERP participation requirements and allocation percentage for 2009. Because the Compensation Committee had reviewed the appropriateness of the SERP recently, it decided that it would continue with the same participation requirements and allocation amount for the 2009 plan year as it did in 2008 and reevaluate the SERP in May 2009 at its next meeting. Our Compensation Committee approved an allocation equal to 26% of income for our CEO and each member of our Senior Executive Management over the age of 50. Each executive who receives an allocation must be employed for at least five years (three years for executives who were over age 60) following the allocation in order to begin vesting. Once the employment requirement is met, an executive’s SERP account vests on a graded scale in which 50% of the account is vested if the executive has attained age 55 prior to termination of employment and 10% more of the account is vested each additional year until 100% of the account is vested upon the executive’s attainment of age 60 prior to termination of employment. If the executive has not attained age 55 prior to termination of employment, 100% of his or her SERP account is forfeited. The vesting provision was put in place to encourage participant retention.
 
The 26% allocation rate reflects a goal of achieving a reasonable replacement of income (based on Company contributions to both the SERP and our qualified 401(k) plan), assuming a scenario in which the executive began work at KBR at age 25, began participating in the SERP at age 50, and retired from KBR at age 65. To simplify the administration of the SERP and to shift the risk of not achieving a reasonable replacement income away from KBR, our Compensation Committee elected to use an approximate, average allocation rate to achieve this result — that is, to use a defined contribution SERP rather than a defined benefit SERP. Consequently, the actual replacement income for each participant will depend on his or her length of vested time in the SERP, actual salary increases, and investment returns. Benefits under the SERP are payable upon a termination of employment.
 
Of the Named Executive Officers, only Ms. Carter and Messrs. Utt, Rose, and Zimmerman received a contribution for 2009 under the terms of the SERP, as listed in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table. Messrs. Utt, Rose, and Zimmerman were credited with earnings in 2009 on amounts already allocated to their accounts from 2008 and 2007. Earnings and losses in the SERP track the default investment option under the Company’s 401(k) plan. Any earnings applied in 2009 to amounts in SERP accounts that were above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate are recorded in the Summary Compensation Table. None of the Named Executive Officers is vested in his or her account balance. Mr. Farley did not participate in the SERP in 2009 because he was not at least 50 years old. Mr. DeNicola forfeited his entire SERP balance in 2009 when he retired from the Company. In May 2009, our Compensation Committee engaged Hewitt to review the SERP in

36

Table of Contents

relation to market practices within our E&C Peer Group. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee determined that the SERP is still consistent with E&C Peer Group practices and continues to serve an important role in the Company’s total compensation program. The Committee will continue to monitor the appropriateness of the SERP.
 
KBR Elective Deferral Plan
 
Our Named Executive Officers may participate in the KBR Elective Deferral Plan, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, to meet their retirement and other future income needs. Participation is completely voluntary. Pre-tax deferrals of up to 75% of base salary and/or incentive compensation are allowed each calendar year. Interest is credited based upon the participant’s election from among four benchmark investment options. Any interest credited above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate is recorded in the Summary Compensation Table. The only Named Executive Officers who had an account balance under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan during 2009 were Messrs. Utt, Farley, and Zimmerman. Benefits under this plan are payable upon a termination of employment (or a specified future date).
 
KBR Benefit Restoration Plan
 
Our Named Executive Officers may participate in the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan, a nonqualified plan that provides a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits that are reduced as a result of limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or due to participation in other Company sponsored plans. The KBR Benefit Restoration Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that earns interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which is 4.98% above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate. Accordingly, the interest credited above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate is recorded in the Summary Compensation Table. In 2009, our Named Executive Officers received awards under the plan in the amounts shown in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table. Benefits under this plan are payable upon a termination of employment.
 
KBR Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan
 
One of our Named Executive Officers, Mr. Rose, participates in the KBR Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan, an unfunded, frozen deferred compensation plan, which was established to continue to provide benefits under the Dresser Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan sponsored by our prior parent. Prior to the plan being frozen on January 1, 2000, a participant could elect to defer compensation into the plan. A participant’s deferrals were then converted to units equivalent to company stock based on a discounted price of company stock. The discount could be no more than 25% of company stock fair market value. While additional deferrals are no longer permitted, a participant’s benefit may continue to grow in three ways: through dividend equivalents on unit accounts, interest paid on cash accounts, and through unrealized gains. Interest is payable annually on the participant’s cash account, if any, at the annual savings account rate of a major bank designated by the plan administrator. A participant’s cash account is payable in cash, and the unit account is payable in KBR stock. Benefits under the plan are payable on the January 15 th following the participant’s termination of employment.
 
Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
 
Our Named Executive Officers do not participate in any KBR sponsored defined benefit pension plans.
 
E. Severance and Change-in-Control Protection
 
In 2008, our Compensation Committee desired for our Named Executive Officers and certain other senior executive officers of the Company to enter into severance and change-in-control agreements (the “Agreement”) with the Company for several reasons. Providing termination benefits under a severance and change-in-control agreement allows the Company to be competitive with the practices of its E&C Peer Group as well as the general market. Also, the specific terms for receiving termination benefits under the Agreement provide a means to motivate and retain key employees of the Company. Noncompetition and clawback provisions provide protection for the Company by ensuring that the Company’s trade secrets and confidential information

37

Table of Contents

are safeguarded and that the Company retains rights to recover any termination benefits paid in the event of material evidence of an executive’s malfeasance. In addition, the Compensation Committee elected for the Agreement to require a double-trigger change-in-control termination (i.e., the occurrence of both a change-in-control and a termination of employment within two years following the change-in-control event) in order for an executive to receive change-in-control benefits. This double-trigger replaced the single-trigger that our Named Executive Officers had in their restricted stock/units and stock options agreements with respect to a change-in-control. In addition, an excise tax gross-up provision was added consistent with market practice. Our Compensation Committee understands that in light of the current financial crisis, excise tax gross-ups may no longer be an appropriate component of executive compensation packages. Consequently, our Compensation Committee is committed to rejecting any proposals that request new excise tax gross-ups.
 
Each of our Named Executive Officers (other than Ms. Carter) entered into the Agreement in 2008, and they continue to have the same Agreement that they had in 2008. In October 2009, the Compensation Committee offered the Agreement to Ms. Carter because each of our other Senior Executive Management has an Agreement. Ms. Carter signed the Agreement without any changes. The Agreement with Ms. Carter is similar to the Agreements with the other Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Utt), except that it does not include an excise tax gross-up consistent with the Compensation Committee’s commitment to reject any proposals that request new excise tax gross-ups. Specifically, the Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) the executive’s termination of employment with the Company or (ii) in the event of a change-in-control during the term of the Agreement, two years following the change-in-control. The Agreement provides for (i) severance termination benefits (prior to a change-in-control), (ii) double-trigger change-in-control termination benefits (on or after a change-in-control), and (iii) death, disability, and retirement benefits. As a condition of receipt of these benefits (other than the death and disability benefits), the executives must first execute a release and full settlement agreement. The Agreement contains customary confidentiality, noncompetition, and nonsolicitation covenants, as well as a mandatory arbitration provision. In addition, the Agreement contains a clawback provision that allows the Company to recover any benefits paid under the Agreement if the Company determines within two years after the executive’s termination of employment that his employment could have been terminated for cause. The Agreement provides that all unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards granted to the executive by the Company will be forfeited upon severance. Such awards, however, will fully vest upon a double-trigger change-in-control termination. Mr. Utt’s Agreement continues to have an exception for his restricted stock and restricted stock units granted on or before April 9, 2007, such that upon severance, such awards will not be forfeited. This exception for Mr. Utt was made as a compromise for him to give up his rights of full vesting under his former employment agreement.
 
F. Other Generally Available Benefits
 
Generally, our Named Executive Officers participate in the same retirement and health and welfare programs as our other employees. In 2009, our Named Executive Officers participated in the Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan. Pursuant to this plan, we made employer matching contributions equal to 5.5% of eligible compensation. Their health care and insurance coverage is the same as that provided to active employees.
 
Our Compensation Committee does not offer perquisites to our Senior Executive Management. Our Company does not own a private aircraft, nor do we participate in a fractional aircraft ownership program. Our executives do not have company cars or car allowances. To allow for maximum efficiency and productive use of time, one Company-leased car and a driver is provided in Houston and one Company-leased car and a driver is provided in Arlington for use by our Named Executive Officers and others for business purposes, except that our Named Executive Officers may use a Company-leased car and a driver for limited personal use only if the car is not being used by another Named Executive Officer for business purposes at that time.
 
Impact of Performance on Compensation
 
A significant portion of our Senior Executive Management’s compensation in 2009 was performance-based, “at risk,” and depended on KBR’s performance. Specifically, our Senior Executive Management was

38

Table of Contents

eligible to participate in the Performance Pay Plan (as described above under the section titled “B. Short-Term Incentives (Annual)”) during 2009. Our Named Executive Officers earned annual incentive compensation for the 2009 fiscal year in the amounts shown in the 2009 Short-Term Incentives Table and the Summary Compensation Table. The 2009 rewards for the Performance Pay Plan were paid in cash in the first quarter of 2010. In addition, 100% of Mr. Utt’s restricted stock units and stock options and 50% of the other Senior Executive Management’s restricted stock units and stock options granted in 2009 are subject to our Company having net income greater than or equal to $0 for the year ended prior to each vesting date as more fully described in the sections titled “KBR Restricted Stock Units” and “KBR Stock Options.” Further, our Senior Executive Management’s KBR Performance Awards (as described above under the section titled “KBR Performance Awards”) are subject to achieving TSR and ROC goals.
 
Impact of Executive Conduct or a Restatement of Earnings on Compensation
 
If the Company determines at any time within two years after the termination of our Named Executive Officers that such senior executive’s employment could have been terminated for Cause, as defined in the senior executive’s Agreement, the Company retains the rights to recover any severance benefits provided under the Agreement to such senior executive (cash or other). In such case, the senior executive agrees to promptly repay such amounts to the Company.
 
In addition, in March 2009, our Compensation Committee approved amending the Performance Pay Plan (described in the section titled “B. Short-Term Incentives (Annual)”) to include a clawback provision that allows the Compensation Committee to seek recovery of any short-term incentive award amounts determined to be an overpayment due to any material restatement of the Company’s financial results that impact the performance metrics on which the short-term incentive awards were calculated. In May 2009, our Compensation Committee approved revising the clawback provision, effective January 1, 2010, to remove the ‘material’ requirement because the Compensation Committee wanted to strengthen its ability to use the clawback even with respect to an immaterial restatement.
 
Impact of Accounting, Regulatory, and Tax Requirements on Compensation
 
We apply the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10 for share-based payments to account for and report equity-based compensation. FASB ASC 718-10 requires equity-based compensation expense to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. For performance-based awards, compensation expense is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award and the fair value of that award is re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period or the vesting period are recognized as compensation cost on a straight line basis over that period. Compensation expense was recognized for restricted stock awards.
 
The grant-date fair value of employee share options is estimated using option-pricing models. If an award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost is recognized immediately before the modification. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for the options (excess tax benefits) are classified as addition to paid-in-capital, and cash retained as a result of these excess tax benefits is presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation paid to the CEO or any of the four other most highly compensated officers to the extent the compensation exceeds $1 million in any year. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to this sanction if certain requirements are met.
 
Our policy is to utilize available tax deductions whenever appropriate and consistent with our compensation philosophy. When designing and implementing our compensation programs, we consider all relevant factors, including the availability of tax deductions with respect to compensation. Accordingly, we have attempted to preserve the Federal tax deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million a year to the extent doing so is consistent with the intended objectives of our compensation philosophy. However, we may from time to time pay compensation to our executives that may not be fully deductible.

39

Table of Contents

The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan was designed to allow qualification of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance share awards, as well as, short-term and long-term cash performance plans under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 applies to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to specified executives where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of restatement.
 
We are administering all nonqualified, deferred compensation plans and payouts in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code added under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Plan documents were amended in 2008 to incorporate the effects of Section 409A as adopted.
 
Stock Ownership Guidelines for Officers
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors determined that the Company should establish stock ownership guidelines for certain officers of the Company and its subsidiaries in an effort to link more closely the financial interests of these officers with those of the Company’s shareholders.
 
Our Board of Directors adopted the following ownership guidelines for the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), for the officers at the levels indicated below:

Group	 	 	Ownership Level	
CEO/Chairman	 	 	5x base salary	
Level 1 Executives
(Direct reports to CEO)	 	 	3x base salary	
Level 2 Executives
(Direct reports to Level 1 Executives)	 	 	1x base salary	

 
Our Board of Directors approved that: (a) each such officer will have five years after the adoption of these guidelines or his or her appointment to an applicable office, whichever is later, to achieve the indicated ownership level; (b) all beneficially owned shares of Common Stock and vested and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units are counted towards achievement of the ownership guideline; (c) once an officer has achieved the applicable level of Common Stock ownership he or she is required to retain or purchase additional shares if a decline in the price for the Common Stock causes his or her holdings to be less than the applicable ownership level; (d) the value of shares of Common Stock is determined as the closing price of the Common Stock for the particular date; and (e) on and after each officer’s 60th birthday, the officer’s required ownership level is reduced to fifty percent (50%) of the ownership level provided for above; provided, however, no such adjustment will be made for the ownership levels of the CEO, Chief Operating Officer (if any), CFO, and General Counsel.
 
Risk Analysis of Compensation Plans
 
Our Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs do not incentivize excessive or inappropriate risk-taking by employees. The Committee reviewed a risk assessment of the Company’s compensation programs in March 2010. The Committee believes that the programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Further, KBR applies compensation policies and practices that mitigate risk, such as:

 	• 	using multiple performance metrics for our short-term incentive and long-term incentive plans;	
 		
 	• 	including clawback provisions in our short-term incentive plans, severance and change-in-control agreements, and performance awards;	
 		
 	• 	providing different vesting and distribution criteria for our equity and performance-based awards:	

 	• 	nonqualified stock options are subject to a three-year graded vesting schedule and are based on service with the Company,	

40

Table of Contents

			
 	• 	restricted stock units are subject to a five-year graded vesting schedule and are based on service with the Company,	
 		
 	• 	performance awards paid in cash are long-tern incentives based on Company performance over a three-year period, and	
 		
 	• 	employees must be employed and in good standing with the Company on the date of payment of previously earned short-term and long-term performance-based awards in order to receive the awards;	

 	• 	capping the maximum award payable to any employee under our short-term incentive plan and our performance awards under our long-term incentive plan;	
 		
 	• 	benchmarking our Senior Executive Management’s total compensation near the median of our industry peers; and	
 		
 	• 	enforcing stock ownership guidelines.	
 
Conclusion
 
In a highly competitive market for executive talent, we believe our customers’ and employees’ interests, as well as those of our stockholders and other stakeholders, are well served by our compensation programs. These programs are reasonably positioned to our E&C Peer Group and Diversified Peer Group, encourage and promote our compensation objectives with a strong emphasis on pay for performance, and permit the exercise of our Compensation Committee’s discretion in the design and implementation of compensation packages. Going forward, we will continue to review our compensation plans periodically to determine what revisions, if any, should be made.

(1)		For bonuses in 2007, our Compensation Committee granted discretionary bonuses to Messrs. Utt, Farley, and certain other employees for their efforts in the separation of KBR from Halliburton.	
 		
(2)		The amounts in columns (e) and (f) represent the grant date fair value of awards granted in 2007, 2008, and 2009, pursuant to the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan and the KBR, Inc. Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan. The fair values were determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are described in note 2 under “Significant Accounting Policies” and note 14 under “Stock Incentive Plans” of our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the comparable disclosures in 2007 and 2008.	
 		
(3)		For Mr. Utt, 100% of the 2007, 2008, and 2009, and for the other Named Executive Officers, 50% of the 2009, amounts attributable to the restricted stock/units in column (e) and the stock options in column (f) are dependent on positive net income. An assumption has been made that the probable outcome is that the Company will have positive net income for the years in question. This is both the probable and maximum performance for the restricted stock/units in column (e) and the stock options in column (f), which is one and the same. With respect to the performance awards that are based 50% on total shareholder return and which are included in the value of stock awards in column (e), the assumptions assume the probable outcome of target performance, which is equal to $1.00. At maximum performance, each performance award unit attributable to total shareholder return and reported in column (e) would be equal to $2.00. This would give (i) Mr. Utt a stock awards value under column (e) of $2,010,003 in 2009, $4,000,024 in 2008, and $4,000,003 in 2007; (ii) Mr. DeNicola a stock awards value under column (e) of $351,756 in 2009 and $555,120 in 2008; (iii) Mr. Rose a stock awards value under column (e) of $351,756 in 2009,

		$700,021 in 2008, and $800,024 in 2007; (iv) Mr. Farley a stock awards value under column (e) of $301,502 in 2009, $600,018 in 2008, and $800,024 in 2007; and (v) Mr. Zimmerman a stock awards value under column (e) of $351,756 in 2009, $500,015 in 2008, and $600,047 in 2007.	
 		
(4)		Earnings reportable in column (g) relate to payments under our Performance Pay Plan for 2007, 2008, and 2009, and 50% of our 2007 KBR Performance Award for the period from July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2009, that is based on return on capital. Benefits under these plans are payable by their terms at a later date.

(A)		Any amounts reportable here and in column (h) of the Summary Compensation Table are payable in connection with KBR’s nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan (“Benefit Restoration”), KBR Elective Deferral Plan (“Elective Deferral”), and KBR Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan (“Dresser Def. Comp.”). These amounts reflect above market or preferential earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation. The amounts reportable in connection with the Halliburton Defined Benefit Plan reflect the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of Mr. Rose’s plan benefit. KBR did not assume any responsibility for the Halliburton Defined Benefit Plan following our separation from Halliburton.	
 		
(B)		Messrs. Utt, Rose, and Zimmerman were the only Named Executive Officers who had earnings in the KBR Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) during 2008 and 2009. However, earnings that were credited to their accounts in 2008 and 2009 were not above market. There were no earnings in the SERP in 2007. Mr. DeNicola had no earnings in 2009 because he retired from the Company prior to year-end 2009 and thus forfeited his entire SERP account.

(1)		During fiscal year 2009, the Named Executive Officers received four types of plan-based awards: Short-Term Incentive (Annual) (“STI”), Performance Awards (“PAs”), Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), and Nonqualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”). All awards were granted under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, except that the STI was granted under the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan, which is a performance plan under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.	
 		
(2)		Actual bonus payments under the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan may equal amounts between performance level percentages. Estimated bonus payments are calculated using the sum of the Participant’s annual base salary (excluding any supplemental payments) as determined on the first day of each month during the calendar year, divided by twelve.

Employment Agreements
 
All employment agreements the Company had with any Named Executive Officers were terminated in 2008. Each of our Named Executive Officers has entered into severance and change-in-control agreements (see the section titled “Severance and Change-in-Control Protection” for more detail).
 
KBR Stock and Incentive Plan
 
During fiscal year 2009, our Named Executive Officers received four types of plan-based awards under our KBR Stock and Incentive Plan (under which the Performance Pay Plan was adopted): (1) an annual short-term incentive (“STI”) award, (2) performance awards (“PAs”), half of which are non-equity based on return on capital (“ROC”) and half of which are equity based on total shareholder return (“TSR”), (3) restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and (4) nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”). STI awards are based on achieving pre-established metrics, including cash value added, job income booked, fully burdened operating income, and overhead cost management and are paid in cash.
 
The PAs were granted on March 4, 2009. Each PA has a target value of $1.00. The actual value, if any, of a PA at the end of the performance period will be determined based 50% on the level of achievement during the performance period of the performance objectives based on the comparison of the TSR of the Company’s common stock at the end of the performance period to the TSR of each of the common stocks of the members of the peer group for the performance period and 50% on the Company’s return on capital. The Company’s TSR rank is measured over the full 3-year performance period, which runs from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011. The TSR payout is based on KBR’s TSR relative standing on December 31, 2011, as compared to our peer group.
 
The other 50% of the PA at the end of the performance period will be determined based on ROC. ROC percentages are calculated using the weighted average of the Company’s net income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders plus (interest expense × (1-effective tax rate)), divided by average monthly capital from continuing operations, with monthly capital from continuing operations equal to average monthly total assets less (average monthly non-interest bearing liabilities plus average monthly non-controlling interest), as reported in the Company’s audited reported financials for the (i) year ended 2009, (ii) year ended 2010, and (iii) year ended 2011, with each year weighted 33 1 / 3 %. For the purpose of these awards, ROC is calculated in the same manner as for the financial reports prepared for use by our senior executives for business purposes and as reported to our Board of Directors. The PAs will be paid in cash based on the performance period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011.
 
The Compensation Committee originally targeted the long-term incentive awards at approximately the 50th percentile of our E&C Peer Group, which would have resulted in long-term incentive target values of $4,000,000 for Mr. Utt, $700,000 for Messrs. DeNicola, Rose, and Zimmerman, and $600,000 for Mr. Farley. However, due to the weakening U.S. economy, the Compensation Committee elected to reduce all Named Executive Officers’ long-term incentive awards by 33%. Long-term incentive awards were delivered through a combination of cash-based PAs and equity-based RSUs and NQSOs. Ms. Carter did not receive a similar long-term incentive award in 2009, due to her late hire date.
 
The Compensation Committee determined the number of PAs for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 60% and dividing the product by $1.00 (the target value of each PA). Our Compensation Committee decided to use $1.00 as the target value for each PA based on a proposal presented by Towers Perrin in July 2007 in which $1.00 was used as the target value for each PA for the purpose of administering and communicating the award. In addition, the use of $1.00 as a target

value for each PA is a means of expressing the value of each award since the number of PAs were granted based on the total target value of long-term incentive awards. The actual value of a PA may increase to a maximum of 200% of $1.00, or $2.00, or decrease to below threshold to 0% of $1.00, or $0.00. The value of PAs for performance between threshold and target or target and maximum will be calculated using linear interpolation. A 3-year performance award cycle was adopted because of the ability to provide for retention.
 
The RSUs were granted on March 4, 2009, under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. Shares vest in increments of 20% annually over five years. RSUs (with respect to U.S.-based awards) provide for rights to any dividends paid on shares of common stock in the same manner and at the same time as dividends are paid to our common stockholders. Using these total long-term incentive target values, our Compensation Committee determined the number of RSUs for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive value by 15% and dividing the product by the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
 
The NQSOs were granted on March 4, 2009, under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. Options vest in increments of 33 1 / 3 % annually over three years. Using the total long-term incentive target values, our Compensation Committee determined the number of NQSOs for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive value by 25% and dividing the product by the Black Scholes’ value of the NQSO on the date of grant. Options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
 
Short-Term Incentives (Annual)
 
Our Senior Executive Management was eligible to participate in the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan (the “Performance Pay Plan”) for the 2009 calendar year. Payouts under the Performance Pay Plan are based on our Senior Executive Management’s individual performance and on the levels of achievement of the Performance Pay Plan’s performance metrics. The performance metrics for the 2009 calendar year are defined below.
 
EPS (Earnings Per Share) measures net income from continuing operations divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted Company shares outstanding. EPS is a measure of the profit and loss statement from Business Unit operating results, overhead management, cash investment, tax management, and partnerships with other companies. This metric helps to align our Senior Executive Management with the interests of our stockholders. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
WC (Working Capital) is measured based on 1 / 2 DBAR and 1 / 2 DUAR (as defined below).
 
BU WC (Business Unit Working Capital) is measured based on 1 / 2 BU DBAR and 1 / 2 BU DUAR (as defined below).
 
DBAR (Days Billed Accounts Receivable) and DUAR (Days Unbilled Accounts Receivable) measure the amounts owed by customers. Goals for Threshold, Target and Maximum were set for KBR in total. The result will be based on the December 31, 2009 outstanding billed or unbilled receivables, fourth quarter revenue, and days in the quarter.
 
BU DBAR (Business Unit Days Billed Accounts Receivable Outstanding) and BU DUAR (Business Unit Days Unbilled Accounts Receivable Outstanding) measure the amounts owed by BU customers. Goals for Threshold, Target and Maximum were set for each individual BU (except Ventures and Technology) and KBR in total. The result will be based on the December 31, 2009 outstanding billed or unbilled receivables, fourth quarter revenue, and days in the quarter.
 
BUI (Business Unit Income) before Corporate allocation and incentive expenses and accruals measures Business Unit job income less Business Unit overhead plus any gains or losses on sales, and excludes incentive-related expenses. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
JIS (Job Income Sold) measures the actual income from new project awards or growth, amendments, or scope adjustments to existing projects for the Company as a whole. JIS for 2009 is focused on maintaining 2008 realized job income in light of the present world-wide economic conditions. Target is set at the 2008

reported job income earned by the Company, less 2008 one-time or unusual transactions, and includes annualizing income from the BE&K acquisition. Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
BU JIS (Business Unit Job Income Sold) measures the actual income from new project awards or growth, amendments, or adjustments to existing projects for each Business Unit. JIS focuses on the growth in backlog for each Business Unit through the signing of new contracts or changes to existing contracts. This metric helps measure and reward sales performance and promotes growth within each Business Unit. Target is 115% of the 2009 annual plan P&L for each Business Unit, Threshold is Target minus 25%, and Maximum is Target plus 25%.
 
NOE (Net Overhead Expense) measures corporate general and administrative overhead expense less any recoveries and without the expense and accruals related to short-term and long-term incentives. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target plus 10%, and Maximum is Target minus 10%.
 
BU NOE (Business Unit Net Overhead Expense) measures Business Unit sales, general and administrative overhead expense less any recoveries without accruals related to short-term and long-term incentives. Target is the 2009 Budget, Threshold is Target plus 10%, and Maximum is Target minus 10%.
 
Safety or RIR (Recordable Incident Rate) measures the number of Recordable Incidents times 200,000 divided by total KBR work-hours. This metric promotes the safety of all Company employees and affiliates. Safety incentives also help reduce costs for the Company. Target is a 10% improvement over the 2008 actual rate, Threshold is Target minus 10%, and Maximum is Target plus 5%. Our Compensation Committee included a caveat on the safety performance metric such that if there are four or more non-warzone fatalities on an aggregate Company or Business Unit basis, then the safety performance metric payment would be zero. This caveat enforces the point that safety is an incentive for everyone with respect to fatalities.
 
BU Safety (Business Unit Safety) or BU RIR (Business Unit Recordable Incident Rate) measures the number of Recordable Incidents times 200,000 divided by total Business Unit work-hours. BU Safety is Business Unit specific since each Business Unit can have different rates based on type of work and environment the work is performed. This metric promotes the safety of all Company employees and affiliates. Target is a 10% (15% for the Services Business Unit) improvement over the 2008 actual rate, Threshold is Target minus 10%, and Maximum is Target plus 5%. Our Compensation Committee included a caveat on the safety performance metric such that if there are four or more non-theatre fatalities on an aggregate Company and Business Unit basis, then the safety performance metric payment would be zero. This caveat enforces the point that safety is a company-wide incentive.
 
The goals for the performance metrics for the Senior Executive Management in Corporate positions are based upon the performance measures of our Company on a consolidated basis. For our Named Executive Officers, this includes Ms. Carter and Messrs. DeNicola, Farley, and Utt. The performance metrics (other than EPS) used for the Senior Executive Management who are responsible for a Business Unit are based on that Business Unit’s performance. For the Upstream Business Unit, that Named Executive Officer is Mr. Rose. For the Services Business Unit, that Named Executive Officer is Mr. Zimmerman.
 
During 2009, the bonus award opportunities were based on a percentage of base salary 2 assuming attainment of specified threshold, target, and maximum performance levels, which were, respectively: (i) for all of our Named Executive Officers (other than Messrs. Utt and Farley), 35%, 87.5%, and 175%, (ii) for Mr. Utt, 50%, 125%, and 250%, and (iii) for Mr. Farley, 32.5%, 81.25%, and 162.5%. Assuming an average of 20% negative discretion, which the Compensation Committee expected to apply in March 2009, the bonus award opportunities as a percentage of base salary were: (i) for all of our Named Executive Officers (other than Messrs. Utt and Farley), 28%, 70%, and 140%, (ii) for Mr. Utt, 40%, 100%, and 200%, and (iii) for Mr. Farley, 26%, 65%, and 130%.

 
2  Base salary for purposes of the Performance Pay Plan does not include certain supplemental base salary payments for our Senior Executive Management. With respect to our CEO, $100,000 was excluded, and for all other Senior Executive Management, $30,000 was excluded for 2009.

(1)		The awards granted on and after November 21, 2006, are of KBR restricted stock, restricted stock units, or options under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The awards granted prior to November 21, 2006, were of Halliburton restricted stock or options, which, following the split-off of KBR from Halliburton, were converted into awards under the KBR Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan, consisting of KBR restricted stock and options to purchase KBR common stock.	
 		
(2)		All options listed in this column vest at a rate of 33 1 / 3 % on the first anniversary, 66 2 / 3 % on the second anniversary, and 100% on the third anniversary from the date of grant. In addition, 100% of Mr. Utt’s options and 50% of the other Named Executive Officer’s options that were granted on March 4, 2009, are subject to KBR having net income greater than or equal to zero for the calendar year preceding the vesting date.	
 		
(3)		All restricted stock and restricted stock units listed in this column that were awarded on or after January 1, 2003, vest at a rate of 20% per year over the 5-year vesting period. In addition, 100% of Mr. Utt’s restricted awards that were granted on July 28, 2007, March 3, 2008, and March 4, 2009, and 50% of the other Named Executive Officer’s restricted awards that were granted on March 4, 2009, are subject to KBR having net income greater than or equal to zero for the calendar year preceding the vesting date. All restricted stock listed in this column that were awarded before January 1, 2003, vest at a rate of 10% per year over the 10-year vesting period.	
 		
(4)		Market value in this table assumes a fair market value of $19.00 per share for KBR common stock, as of December 31, 2009.	
 		
(5)		The number of unearned shares includes 80% of Mr. Utt’s March 4, 2009, restricted stock unit grant, 40% of Messrs. Rose, Farley, and Zimmerman’s March 4, 2009, restricted stock unit grant, 60% of Mr. Utt’s March 3, 2008, restricted stock unit grant, and 40% of Mr. Utt’s July 28, 2007, restricted stock grant under column (g), the earnings of which are subject to the Company having net income greater than or equal to zero for the calendar year preceding each vesting date. In addition, this column includes the 50% of the performance awards granted in 2007, 2008, and 2009 that were based on total shareholder return. These performance awards are payable only in cash.	
 		
(6)		This column represents the maximum possible cash payout for the number of performance awards based on total shareholder return. Under the SEC rules, we are required to report the maximum possible payout if the previous fiscal year’s performance exceeded the target performance, even if by a minimal amount and even if it is unlikely that we will pay the maximum amount. The payout of these performance awards is not related to the Company’s stock price and accordingly was calculated by using a maximum cash payout amount of $2.00 for each performance award unit.	
 		
(7)		Ms. Carter did not receive a stock grant in 2009 because she is new to the Company. Mr. DeNicola forfeited his stock awards because he left the Company in 2009.

(5)		The share price used for the Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan is the average of the daily closing prices of our stock during December 2009. This price was used because the terms of the Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan value the account based on the average. The average amount equals $18.63.	
 		
(6)		There were no SERP contributions made on behalf of Mr. Farley during 2009 because he was not age 50 or older.

Narrative Disclosure to Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table
 
Under the KBR Elective Deferral Plan, pre-tax deferrals of up to 75% of base salary and/or incentive compensation are allowed each year. The other plans do not allow employee elective deferrals. Earnings for the Elective Deferral Plan are based on deemed investment alternatives, including the following three that are under our 401(k) plan, the S&P Index Fund, the Aggressive Premixed Portfolio, and the Small Cap Equity Fund, and one that is not under our 401(k) plan, the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield +2%. Investment elections may be changed by the executive on a monthly basis. Earnings for the Restoration Plan are credited at a flat 10% per year. While employed, earnings (or losses) on amounts in the SERP (for contributions made after 2006) are credited (or deducted) based on the default investment portfolio in the Company’s 401(k) plan. Earnings under the Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan are based on the trading price (and dividends, if any) of KBR common stock. Payouts under the Restoration Plan and the SERP are paid in a lump sum upon termination. Payouts under the Elective Deferral Plan are paid on termination of employment or a specified future date, either as a lump sum or in installments. Payouts under the Dresser Deferred Plan are paid on termination of employment, in installments. Withdrawals under the Elective Deferral Plan are allowed in the case of an unforeseeable emergency (non-emergency for pre-January 1, 2005, account balances).
 
Elements of Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits
 
In 2008, (2009 with respect to Ms. Carter) our Compensation Committee entered into severance and change-in-control agreements with our Named Executive Officers.
 
In 2008, our Compensation Committee reviewed several reports from Hewitt analyzing the provisions of the current market practices for senior executive post-termination benefits. Our Compensation Committee also negotiated the terms of its proposed severance and change-in-control agreements with certain members of Senior Executive Management and our Named Executive Officers over a period of approximately one year to 15 months. These severance and change-in-control agreements reflect the thorough review and thoughtful negotiations by or Compensation Committee and provide severance and change-in-control benefits generally consistent with the common practices of our peer companies’ severance and change-in-control benefits.
 
Termination events that trigger payments and benefits include change-in-control, normal or early retirement, termination for cause or good reason, voluntary termination, disability, and death. Post-termination payments may include severance, accelerated vesting of restricted stock and stock options, maximum payments under cash-based short and long-term incentive plans, nonqualified account balances, and health benefits among others.

(1)		The aggregate nonqualified deferred compensation payable to all Named Executive Officers upon termination is set forth in column (f) of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.	
 		
(2)		The Table does not include amounts otherwise payable to the Named Executive Officers if they remained employed through December 31, 2009, pursuant to the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan (STI), as reported in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table. If a Named Executive Officer is terminated for “cause” (as defined under the applicable plan/program), all such executive’s rights to payment would be automatically forfeited. Also, the Table does not include those benefits that are generally available to all employees.

(3)		The Table assumes full exercise of options that become exercisable upon termination or change-in-control as of December 31, 2009. This Table does not include the exercisable options reflected in column (b) of the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table. Option values are based on the difference between the option exercise price and the closing price for our common stock on December 31, 2009, multiplied by the number of shares to be acquired upon exercise of the option. While options do not vest upon normal retirement age, they do continue to vest on the original vesting schedule post-normal retirement. On December 31, 2009, Mr. Rose was fully vested in 7,540 stock options with an exercise price of $21.81.	
 		
(4)		Assumes for purposes of change-in-control with termination, normal retirement, death, and disability that payout for the Performance Awards will be at Target, except for the Performance Awards granted in 2007, which are based on actual performance of 159%.	
 		
(5)		Cash severance includes welfare costs. Messrs. Utt, Rose, Farley, and Zimmerman’s cash severance includes excise tax gross-ups calculated using a 36.45% tax rate assumption. Cash severance does not include amounts that may be paid to the Named Executive Officers under the severance plan generally available to all employees of the Company.	
 		
(6)		Mr. DeNicola’s severance and change-in-control agreement was terminated upon his early retirement from the Company on October 28, 2009. Accordingly, there are no amounts in the above table because Mr. DeNicola was not employed with the Company on December 31, 2009. However, upon his early retirement, Mr. DeNicola did receive payment for his accrued, paid-time off under the Company’s vacation plan. The Company’s vacation plan is a benefit generally available to all full-time employees.	
 
Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements
 
Our Compensation Committee approved severance and change-in-control agreements (collectively, the “Agreement”) for Ms. Carter and Messrs. Utt, DeNicola, Rose, Farley, and Zimmerman, along with certain other senior executive officers of the Company. Mr. DeNicola’s Agreement terminated on the date that he retired from the Company. Mr. DeNicola received the benefits described under the section below regarding payments and benefits triggered by retirement.
 
Circumstances that Would Trigger Payments and Benefits
 
The Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) the executive’s termination of employment with the Company or (ii) in the event of a change-in-control during the term of the Agreement, two years following the change-in-control. The Agreement provides for (i) severance termination benefits (prior to a change-in-control), (ii) double-trigger change-in-control termination benefits (on or after a change-in-control), and (iii) death, disability, and retirement benefits.
 
Under the Agreement, “cause,” “good reason,” and “change-in-control” are defined as follows:
 
“Cause” means any of the following (i) the executive’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the duties and services required of him by the Company; (ii) the executive’s conviction of, or plea other than not guilty to, a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or (iii) a material violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct. However, prior to a change-in-control, “cause”also means the executive’s failure to perform, in a reasonably satisfactory manner, the duties and services required of him by the Company, provided that the Company gives the executive at least 10 days’ written notice to cure the failure.
 
“Good Reason” means any of the following: (i) a material diminution in the executive’s base salary, (ii) a material diminution in the executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, or (iii) unless agreed to by the executive, the relocation of the offices at which the executive is principally employed to a location more than 50 miles away. However, prior to a change-in-control, “good reason”means a 25% or more

diminution in the executive’s base salary, unless a similar reduction is made to the base salaries of all senior executive officers of the Company.
 
“Change-in-Control” is generally triggered upon any of the following: (i) a person acquires 20% or more of the voting power of the Company, (ii) the majority of our Board of Directors changes, (iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company (unless it still controls a majority of the voting stock), (iv) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (v) a sale, disposition, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, Ms. Carter or Messrs. Utt, Rose, Farley, and Zimmerman die or become disabled, then the Company will provide them with the following benefits: (a) the executive’s unearned bonus under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan payable for the fiscal year in which the executive’s date of termination occurs, with such bonus amount determined at the end of the performance period in accordance with the plan, and then such earned amount (if any) (x) prorated to the executive’s date of termination and (y) paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such annual bonuses under the plan, but not later than the March 15th following the end of the performance period, (b) the executive’s unpaid bonus (if any) accrued under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan for the fiscal year that ended on or immediately before the executive’s date of termination, which accrued bonus shall be paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such bonuses under the plan, but not later than the March 15th following the end of such prior performance period, (c) the restrictions on all restricted stock and restricted stock units of the executive shall lapse in full on his or her date of termination, (d) all stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) of the executive shall become fully vested and exercisable on his or her date of termination and may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of his or her date of termination, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, or (ii) the remaining term of such option or SAR, (e) all outstanding performance awards of the executive shall be prorated to his or her date of termination and to the extent such awards become “earned”based on actual performance results at the end of the performance period, shall be paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such awards under the plan, but not later than the March 15th following the end of the performance period, and (f) all account balances of the executive in all supplemental and/or non-qualified retirement plans of the Company and its affiliates shall become fully vested on his or her date of termination.
 
If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, Ms. Carter or Messrs. Utt, Rose, Farley or Zimmerman retire, then the Company will provide them with the above death and disability benefits, except that the executive may only exercise his or her stock options and SARs until the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of his or her date of termination, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, or (b) the remaining term of such option or SARs.
 
If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, Ms. Carter or Messrs. Utt, Rose, Farley or Zimmerman voluntarily terminates his or her employment for any reason other than a “good reason”or retirement, the executive will not be entitled to any payments or benefits and his or her vested stock options and SARs must be exercised within 30 days of the date of his or her termination, but not later than the option or SAR expiration date.
 
If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, Ms. Carter or Messrs. Utt, Rose, Farley or Zimmerman’s employment is terminated by the Company for “cause,”the executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits.
 
If, prior to a change-in-control, Ms. Carter or Messrs. Rose, Farley or Zimmerman’s employment is terminated by us (except for “cause”), or if Ms. Carter or Messrs. Rose, Farley, or Zimmerman terminate his or her employment for “good reason,”the Company will provide the executive with the following benefits: (a) a lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of: (i) one year’s base salary in effect at termination plus (ii) the executive’s annual target bonus opportunity, (b) all vested stock options and SARs may be exercised within the one-year period following his or her date of termination, but not later than the remaining term of the option or SARs, and (c) all unvested stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards shall be forfeited, unless and to the extent provided otherwise by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, with respect to non-performance awards.

Our Compensation Committee understands that in light of the current financial crisis, excise tax gross-ups may no longer be an appropriate component of executive compensation packages. Consequently, our Compensation Committee is committed to rejecting any proposals that request new excise tax gross-ups.
 
Determination of Appropriate Payment and Benefit Levels Under the Various Circumstances that Trigger Payments and Benefits
 
Our Compensation Committee engaged Hewitt to assist in the development of the Agreement. In February 2008, Hewitt presented a comprehensive overview of market practices of severance and change-in-control

benefits among our E&C Peer Group, as well as, Hewitt’s knowledge of general market practices and emerging trends. In addition, Hewitt provided the Compensation Committee with a proposed severance and change-in-control program that was consistent with the median of our E&C Peer Group. Our Compensation Committee elected to move forward with the proposed program, except that the Compensation Committee wanted to make severance payments (without a change-in-control) more difficult to trigger as compared to the terms of the companies in the E&C Peer Group. Further, while not common practice among the E&C Peer Group, our Compensation Committee elected to add a broad two-year clawback provision. Our Compensation Committee asked its Chairman to work with Hewitt, in-house legal counsel, and outside legal counsel to prepare the Agreement consistent with these suggestions. In May 2008, Hewitt presented the revised program, with all the potential costs associated with the suggested Agreement. After further review, and advise from outside legal counsel that the Agreement was more favorable to KBR than our peer companies with respect to severance (without a change-in-control) payment triggers and that it was consistent with our peer companies with respect to severance following a change-in-control, our Compensation Committee approved the Agreement in May 2008.
 
Material Conditions or Obligations Applicable to the Receipt of Payments or Benefits
 
As a condition to receive the severance benefits upon a termination by us (except for “cause”) or a resignation by the executive for “good reason,”the executives must first execute a release and full settlement agreement. The Agreement also contains customary confidentiality, noncompetition, and nonsolicitation covenants, as well as a mandatory arbitration provision. In addition, the Agreement contains a clawback provision that allows the Company to recover any benefits paid under the Agreement if the Company determines within two years after the executive’s termination of employment that his employment could have been terminated for cause. With the exception of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to Mr. Utt by the Company on or before April 9, 2007, the Agreement provides that all unvested stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards granted to the executives by the Company will be forfeited upon severance. Such awards, however, will fully vest upon a double-trigger change-in-control termination. An exception was made for Mr. Utt as a compromise for him to give up his rights to full vesting of his restricted stock upon severance under his former employment agreement.
 
Other Material Factors
 
Our Compensation Committee does not have discretion in determining post termination payments other than the ability to amend agreements to increase payment upon post termination.
 
Effective as of December 31, 2008, the form severance and change-in-control agreement was amended to comply with the final regulations of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Employment Agreements
 
The Company has no employment agreements with its Named Executive Officers other than the severance and change-in-control agreements described in the above section.
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
We perform many of our projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our revenues or expenses. We recognize the profit on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting primarily using the percentage-of-completion method.

Table of Contents

Total revenue from services provided to our unconsolidated joint ventures recorded in our consolidated statements of operations were $166 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Profit on services provided to our joint ventures recognized in our consolidated statements of operations was $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
RELATED PERSON POLICIES
 
Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy requiring its approval of any transactions involving our directors, executive officers or any nominees for director and any greater than 5% stockholders and their immediate family members. The types of transactions covered by this policy are transactions, arrangements or relationships or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) we (including any of our subsidiaries) were, or will be a participant, (2) the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any calendar year, and (3) any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or holding less than a 10 percent beneficial ownership interest in another entity), and which is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to be disclosed in our public filings. The Board of Directors will only approve transactions with related persons when the Board of Directors determines such transactions are in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Board of Directors will apply the following standards and such other standards it deems appropriate:

 	• 	whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances;	
 		
 	• 	whether the transaction is material to us or the related person;	
 		
 	• 	the role the related person has played in arranging the related person transaction;	
 		
 	• 	the structure of the related person transaction;	
 		
 	• 	the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; and	
 		
 	• 	whether there are alternative sources for the subject matter of the transaction.	
 
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires KBR’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of KBR’s equity securities, to file with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock of KBR.
 
To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that such reports accurately reflect all reportable transactions and holdings, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and during 2010 through the date of this proxy statement, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with, except that Mr. DeNicola made a late Form 4 filing in August 2009 with respect to the January 2009 purchase of 172 shares of KBR stock by the trustee of an investment account, of which Mr. DeNicola is the beneficial owner.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
In 2009, all non-employee Directors received an annual retainer of $45,000 and an attendance fee of $1,500 for each board or board committee meeting attended in person and $500 for each board or board committee meeting attended by telephone, plus incurred expenses where appropriate. The Chairman of each committee also received an additional annual retainer as follows: Nominating and Corporate Governance — $10,000; Audit — $7,500; Compensation — $5,000; Health, Safety and Environment — $5,000. As recommended by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in 2008, each of our non-employee

59

Table of Contents

Directors received an annual award of 3,900 shares of restricted stock units under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The vesting period is six-month cliff vesting. Our Board of Directors established share ownership guidelines for the non-employee Directors in an effort to link more closely the financial interests of the non-employee Directors with those of KBR’s shareholders. Non-employee Directors are required to own KBR stock in an amount equal to five times the non-employee Director annual cash retainer within five years of joining the Board of Directors.
 
Periodically, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the competitiveness of the compensation of our non-employee Directors. The results of such a review were presented to the Compensation Committee in December 2008 with regard to the compensation of our non-employee Directors for 2009, although no changes were made with regard to the compensation of our non-employee Directors for 2009. In addition, following a review of the program, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee made several changes to the non-employee Directors’ compensation for 2010. The changes included increasing the annual retainer, adding an annual lead director retainer, changing the amounts of some of the annual committee chairman retainers, eliminating meeting attendance fees, and granting the annual award of restricted stock units under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan based on a dollar amount instead of a number of shares. In 2010, all non-employee Directors will receive an annual retainer of $100,000. The lead non-employee Director will receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000. The Chairman of each committee will also receive an additional annual retainer as follows: Nominating and Corporate Governance — $5,000; Audit — $15,000; Compensation — $10,000; Health, Safety and Environment — $5,000. Finally, each non-employee Director will receive an annual award of $100,000 worth of restricted stock units under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.
 
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to KBR’s director compensation for non-employee Directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
 
KBR’s Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on KBR’s website, www.kbr.com . As required by the charter, we review and reassess the charter annually and recommend any changes to the Board of Directors for approval.
 
KBR’s management is responsible for preparing KBR’s financial statements and the principal independent accountants are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee’s role is to provide oversight of management in carrying out management’s responsibility and to appoint, compensate, retain and oversee the work of the principal independent accountants. In fulfilling our oversight role for the year ended December 31, 2009, under the Audit Committee’s charter, we:

 	• 	reviewed and discussed KBR’s audited financial statements with management;	
 		
 	• 	discussed with KPMG LLP, KBR’s principal independent accountants, the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T;	
 		
 	• 	received from KPMG LLP the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence; and	
 		
 	• 	discussed with KPMG its independence.	
 
Based on our:

 	• 	review of the audited financial statements;	
 		
 	• 	discussions with management;	
 		
 	• 	discussions with KPMG LLP; and	
 		
 	• 	review of KPMG LLP’s written disclosures and letter,	
 
we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in KBR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, for filing with the SEC. Our recommendation considers our review of that firm’s qualifications as independent accountants for the Company. Our review also included matters required to be considered under SEC rules on auditor independence, including the nature and extent of non-audit services. In our judgment the nature and extent of non-audit services performed by KPMG LLP during the year did not impair the firm’s independence.
 
Respectfully submitted,

Pre-Approval Policy
 
The Audit Committee is directly responsible for appointing, setting compensation for and overseeing the work of KPMG, our principal independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has established written pre-approval policies requiring approval by the Audit Committee of all services to be provided by KPMG and all audit services provided by other independent accountants. The policy provides that all audit, audit-related and tax services to be provided by KPMG will be described in a written plan submitted to the Audit Committee annually for pre-approval. The Audit Committee, its Chairman or another Audit Committee member designee must pre-approve any audit, audit-related or tax services to be provided by KPMG that were not submitted for annual pre-approval if the fees to be paid for such services will exceed $150,000. All other services for fees in excess of $50,000 must be specifically approved in the same manner as audit, audit-related and tax services greater than $150,000.
 
The policy also provides that all audit services to be provided by independent public accountants other than KPMG will be described in writing and presented to the Audit Committee by our Chief Accounting Officer annually for pre-approval. Any audit services not included in the annual pre-approved plan must be approved in the same manner as unplanned audit, audit-related and tax services to be provided by KPMG.
 
As permitted by the SEC, to ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, our policy allows for the delegation of the Audit Committee’s pre-approval authority under the policy to the Chairman or another member of the Audit Committee designated by the Audit Committee or the Chairman. Any pre-approval decisions by the Audit Committee Chairman or other Audit Committee designee will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly-scheduled meeting following any such decisions.

PROPOSAL No. 2
 
RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
KPMG LLP has audited the financial statements of KBR and its predecessor beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. A resolution will be presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of that firm as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of KBR as of and for the year ending December 31, 2010. The engagement of KPMG LLP was made by the Audit Committee. KPMG LLP has advised that neither the firm nor any member of the firm has any direct financial interest or any material indirect interest in KBR. Also, during at least the past three years, neither the firm nor any member of the firm has had any connection with KBR in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.
 
Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
 
Although the selection and appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of stockholders, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has decided to ask our stockholders to ratify this appointment.
 
The proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.

PROPOSAL No. 3
 
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
 
Mercy Investment Program, 205 Avenue C, #10E, New York, New York 10009, a beneficial owner of 100 shares of KBR common stock, has notified us that it intends to present the following proposal at our Annual Meeting. The Company is not responsible for the contents of this proposal or supporting statement:
 
WHEREAS, Expectations of the global community are growing, such that companies must have policies in place that promote and protect human rights within their areas of activity and sphere of influence to help promote and protect the company’s reputation as a good corporate citizen.
 
KBR, a leading global engineering, construction and services company, supports energy, petrochemicals, government services, industrial and civil infrastructure sectors. KBR is 9th on the DOD 2008 Top 100 Contractors at $5.99 billion (Government Executive, 8-15-09) and its Government & Infrastructure business unit the “world’s largest defense service provider.”(2008 Annual Report)
 
Corporations operating in countries with civil conflict, weak rule of law, endemic corruption, poor labor and environmental standards face serious risks to reputation and shareholder value when they are seen as responsible for, or complicit in, human rights violations.
 
Our company’s Code of Business Conduct does not address major corporate responsibility issues, such as, human rights. Without a human rights policy, KBR faces reputation risks by operating in countries, such as China or in the MidEast, where rule of law is weak and human rights abuses well documented. (U.S. State Department Advancing Freedom and Democracy Report; www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/afdr/ )

Negative publicity hurts our company’s reputation and has the potential to impact shareholder value. KBR has been linked to trafficking-related concerns, including substandard living conditions, forced labor and confiscating employee passports, (Kathmandu Post 4-20-09, Washington Business Journal 8-27-08); exposure of U.S. troops to cancer-causing hexavalent chromium in Iraq, (Business Wire 10-5-09); sexual assault and rape, (guardian.co.uk 10-15-09); a discrimination in the workplace based on religion lawsuit, (http://www.southernstudies.org/2009/07/kbr-sued-over-headscarf-ban.html); and fined for bribing the Nigerian government for contracts to build liquefied natural gas facilities, (The Financial Times 2-12-09).
 
We recommend our company base its human rights policies on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labor Organization’s Core Labor Standards and the United Nations Norms on the Responsibilities of Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises with Regard to Human Rights. (http://wwwl.umn.edu/humanrts/links/commentary.Aug2003.html)
 
RESOLVED, Shareholders request management to review policies related to human rights to assess areas where the company needs to adopt and implement additional policies and to report its findings by December 2010, omitting proprietary information and prepared at reasonable expense.
 
Supporting Statement:
 
We recommend the review include:
 
1. Risk assessment to determine potential for human rights abuses in locations, such as the Middle East, Nigeria, former U.S.S.R. republics, China and other civil-strife/war-torn areas, where the company operates.
 
2. A report on current systems in place to ensure that KBR contractors and suppliers are implementing human rights policies in their operations, including monitoring, training, addressing issues of non-compliance and assurance that trafficking-related concerns have been addressed.
 
3. KBR’s strategy of engagement with internal and external stakeholders.
 
KBR’s Statement in Opposition to Proposal No. 3
 
The Board of Directors believes this proposal is not in the best interests of KBR or its stockholders and recommends a vote AGAINST it.
 
We agree with the principles on which this proposal is based and our management and Board of Directors are already addressing the concerns raised by the proponent. In 2009, our management conducted a robust review of all of our Code of Business Conduct (“COBC”) policies, which include policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment and policies with respect to the health and safety of employees, and presented its findings to the Board of Directors. The review resulted in a substantial revision to many policies within the COBC and in new policies being adopted, including more stringent policies regarding employees’ obligations to report suspected violations of the COBC and prohibiting retaliation in any form for reporting suspected violations. The COBC was also amended to clarify that third parties which are providing services or engaging in business activities on behalf of KBR, and whose activities are wholly or partly outside the United States, including contractors, subcontractors and other service providers, are expected to also ascribe to the ethical standards contained in our COBC. The revised COBC was approved by our Board of Directors in December 2009 and can be found on our website at www.kbr.com/About/Code-of-Business-Conduct/. The review and revision of KBR’s COBC is just one of the ways in which KBR’s management is already engaged in the activities requested by the proponent, making this proposal unnecessary.
 
In response to a similar 2009 shareholder proposal which was unsuccessful, we have developed additional reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors regarding allegations of human trafficking or coerced labor that come to the attention of management through KBR’s Ethics Hotline or other channels. Beginning in March 2010, all allegations of trafficking in persons or coerced labor that are investigated are reported separately from all other matters at each regular Audit Committee meeting. This new procedure

provides enhanced transparency to the Board of Directors with respect to these types of allegations and therefore, greater accountability.
 
The Board of Directors believes that KBR’s policies effectively govern our commitment to operating in a manner that is protective of the fundamental human rights of our employees and others within the communities in which we operate, rendering the proposal duplicative and unnecessary.
 
For all the reasons set forth above, the Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST Proposal No. 3. Properly dated and signed proxies, and proxies properly submitted over the Internet and by telephone, will be so voted unless stockholders specify otherwise.
 
PROPOSAL No. 4
 
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
 
The New York City Employees’ Retirement System, owner of 177,060 KBR shares, The New York City Teachers’ Retirement System, owner of 188,916 KBR shares, the New York City Police Pension Fund, owner of 229,901 KBR shares, the New York City Fire Department Pension Fund, owner of 66,685 KBR shares, through their custodian and trustee, and the New York City Board of Education Retirement System, the owner of 9,830 KBR shares, through their custodian, The Office of the Comptroller of the City of New York, 1 Centre Street, New York, New York 10007-2341, have notified us that they intend to present the following proposal at our annual meeting. The Company is not responsible for the contents of this proposal or supporting statement:
 
WHEREAS, KBR, Inc. does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in its written employment policy;
 
Over 88% of the Fortune 500 companies have adopted written nondiscrimination policies prohibiting harassment and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, as have more than 98% of Fortune 100 companies, according to the Human Rights Campaign; over 30% now prohibit discrimination based on gender identity;
 
We believe that corporations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity have a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining employees from the widest talent pool;
 
According to a June, 2008 survey by Harris Interactive and Witeck-Combs, 65% of gay and lesbian workers in the United States reported facing some form of job discrimination related to sexual orientation; an earlier survey found that almost one out of every 10 gay or lesbian adults also reported that they had been fired or dismissed unfairly from a previous job, or pressured to quit a job because of their sexual orientation;
 
Twenty states, the District of Columbia and more than 160 cities and counties, have laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation; 12 states and the District of Columbia have laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity;
 
Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles have adopted legislation restricting business with companies that do not guarantee equal treatment for gay and lesbian employees;
 
Our company has operations in, and makes sales to institutions in states and cities that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation;
 
National public opinion polls consistently find more than three quarters of the American people support equal rights in the workplace for gay men, lesbians and bisexuals; for example, in a Gallup poll conducted in May, 2007, 89% of respondents favored equal opportunity in employment for gays and lesbians;
 
RESOLVED, The Shareholders request that KBR, Inc. amend its written equal employment opportunity policy to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression and to substantially implement the policy.

Supporting Statement:   Employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity diminishes employee morale and productivity. Because state and local laws are inconsistent with respect to employment discrimination, our company would benefit from a consistent, corporate wide policy to enhance efforts to prevent discrimination, resolve complaints internally, and ensure a respectful and supportive atmosphere for all employees. KBR, Inc. will enhance its competitive edge by joining the growing ranks of companies guaranteeing equal opportunity for all employees.
 
KBR’s Statement in Opposition to Proposal No. 4
 
The Board of Directors believes this proposal is not in the best interests of KBR or its stockholders and recommends a vote AGAINST it.
 
We are committed to providing our more than 50,000 employees in more than 45 countries with a workplace that provides an equal opportunity to all qualified individuals and is free from all forms of harassment. Our Board of Directors believes that KBR’s current policies and practices have allowed us to fulfill these commitments and fully achieve the objectives set out in this proposal, without the need for the additional specificity requested by this proposal.
 
KBR is an equal employment opportunity employer. In our hiring and promotion policies, we strive to provide employees with a working environment free of discrimination, harassment, intimidation or coercion relating directly or indirectly to race, color, religion, disability, sex, age or national origin. Our harassment policy further provides that all persons shall be treated with dignity and respect and shall not be unreasonably interfered with in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, sexual, racial, ethnic and other forms of harassment, including harassment based upon disability. We enforce these provisions on an ongoing basis through periodic, mandatory training and through employee communications and workplace postings. KBR takes all discrimination claims very seriously. All complaints of discrimination are promptly investigated and where substantiated, corrective action is taken.
 
In furtherance of our commitment to our employees, we have just completed an extensive review of all policies comprising our Code of Business Conduct (COBC), including our Equal Employment Opportunity Policy. This review resulted in changes to the policy to include additional methods to report discrimination claims and to emphasize the prohibition of retaliation against employees reporting discrimination. We also adopted a new, more robust policy to emphasize the obligation of each employee to report any suspected violation of the COBC, including the discrimination and harassment policies. The Board of Directors approved the revised COBC in December 2009 and it can be found on our website at www.kbr.com/About/Code-of-Business-Conduct/.
 
The Board of Directors does not believe it is in the best interest of the company or its employees to expand the list of personal attributes covered by KBR’s nondiscrimination policy beyond those which are protected by federal law. To do so would, we believe, weaken the comprehensive nature of the policy and leave KBR vulnerable to frivolous claims from other groups who are not listed as a protected group. Furthermore, we do not believe we suffer any competitive disadvantage in recruiting or retaining employees or in customer relationships as a result of our employment practices or the language in our nondiscrimination policy. To the contrary, we believe that our current policy against discrimination and harassment and our procedures to ensure that discrimination does not occur, put us in a position to recruit and retain a diverse workforce of many different cultures, races and backgrounds who each contribute their unique experiences to KBR’s projects and customers.
 
For all the reasons set forth above, the Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST Proposal No. 4. Properly dated and signed proxies, and proxies properly submitted over the Internet and by telephone, will be so voted unless stockholders specify otherwise.
