(e)                    Amendment of Severance and Change in Control Agreements

On August 5, 2015, the Board of Directors of KBR, Inc. (“KBR”) approved amending the severance and change in control agreements entered into with certain KBR officers (including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and all of KBR’s other named executive officers) with respect to the payment each such officer would receive in relation to the long-term cash performance awards granted to such officer in 2015 and later if, on or within two years after a change in control of KBR occurs, such officer’s employment is terminated by KBR without cause or by such officer for good reason (a “double-trigger change in control termination”).  Prior to amendment, the severance and change in control agreements provide that, upon a double-trigger change in control termination, such awards will be prorated to the date of termination and paid based on actual performance at the end of the applicable performance period.  As amended, the severance and change in control agreements will provide that, upon a double-trigger change in control termination, such awards will be fully vested, valued based on target-level performance for the applicable performance period, and paid as soon as administratively feasible following such termination.  This amendment reflects the most prevalent practice of KBR’s industry peers and addresses the difficulty of valuing KBR’s long-term cash performance awards prior to the end of the performance period due to the new job income sold performance metric.
