FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

(1)                   Principles of Consolidation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include footnotes and certain financial information normally presented annually under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the company’s December 31, 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of results that can be expected for the full year.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly its consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain amounts in 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation due to the implementation of new accounting pronouncements discussed below. Segment operating information for 2015 has been recast to reflect changes in the composition of the company’s reportable segments as discussed in Note 16. Management has evaluated all material events occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements up to the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include the financial statements of Stork Holding B.V. (“Stork”) since March 1, 2016, the date of acquisition. See Note 17 for a further discussion of the acquisition.

 

(2)                   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New accounting pronouncements implemented by the company during the first quarter of 2016 or requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” on a retrospective basis. This ASU requires entities to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-17, deferred tax assets of $173 million were reclassified from current assets to noncurrent assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have any impact on the company’s results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements — Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update),” which clarifies the presentation and measurement of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line of credit arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2015-15 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” on a prospective basis. This ASU clarifies the circumstances under which a cloud computing customer would account for the arrangement as a license of internal-use software. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” on a retrospective basis. This ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet by requiring entities to present such costs as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. As a result of the adoption of ASU

FLUOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

2015-03, debt issuance costs of $6 million were reclassified from noncurrent assets to a direct deduction of long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have any impact on the company’s results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” This ASU amends the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners’ investments in limited partnerships and modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2015-01, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” Under this ASU, an entity will no longer be allowed to separately disclose extraordinary items, net of tax, in the income statement after income from continuing operations if an event or transaction is unusual in nature and occurs infrequently. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, the company adopted ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 did not have any impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which amends certain aspects in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 amends how an entity should identify performance obligations for immaterial promised goods or service, shipping and handling activities and promises that may represent performance obligations. ASU 2016-08 also provides implementation guidance for determining the nature of licensing and royalties arrangements. ASU 2016-10 is effective upon adoption of ASU 2014-09. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-10 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions which include income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” which clarifies the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08 clarifies how an entity should identify the unit of accounting for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements, such as service transactions. ASU 2016-08 also reframes the indicators to focus on evidence that an entity is acting as a principal rather than as an agent. ASU 2016-08 is effective upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-08 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting” which eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investor obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-07 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships.” This ASU clarifies that the novation of a derivative contract in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedge accounting relationship. ASU 2016-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2016-05 can be applied on either a prospective or modified retrospective

basis. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-05 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,” which amends the existing guidance on accounting for leases. This ASU requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted and modified retrospective application is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments — Overall - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a practicability exception. ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers — Deferral of the Effective Date” which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five-step process for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards, and also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Major provisions include determining which goods and services are distinct and require separate accounting, how variable consideration (which may include change orders and claims) is recognized, whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time and ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price. The company will now be required to adopt ASU 2014-09 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 can be applied either retrospectively to each prior period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on the company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and to provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and subsequent interim reporting periods. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(4)                 Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 37.1 percent and 33.5 percent, respectively. The higher effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily due to foreign losses without benefit. Both periods benefit from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company.

 

The company conducts business globally and, as a result, the company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Although the company believes its reserves for its tax positions are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits could be materially different, both favorably and unfavorably. With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2012.

 

(5)                   Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes

 

C ash paid for interest was $13 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Income tax payments, net of refunds, were $27 million and $62 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

(6)                    Earnings Per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

(7)                   Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

·   Level 1

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

·   Level 2

inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable, either directly or indirectly

·   Level 3

unobservable inputs

 

The company measures and reports assets and liabilities at fair value utilizing pricing information received from third parties. The company performs procedures to verify the reasonableness of pricing information received for significant assets and liabilities classified as Level 2.

 

The following table presents, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels required under ASC 820-10, the company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

UNAUDITED

 

All of the company’s financial instruments carried at fair value are included in the table above. All of the above financial instruments are available-for-sale securities except for those held in the deferred compensation trusts (which are trading securities) and derivative assets and liabilities. The company has determined that there was no other-than-temporary impairment of available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses, and the company expects to recover the entire cost basis of the securities. The available-for-sale securities are made up of the following security types as of March 31, 2016: money market funds of $4 million, U.S. agency securities of $14 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $75 million and corporate debt securities of $126 million. As of December 31, 2015, available-for-sale securities consisted of money market funds of $19 million, U.S. agency securities of $18 million, U.S. Treasury securities of $102 million and corporate debt securities of $189 million. The amortized cost of these available-for-sale securities is not materially different from the fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $122 million and $183 million, respectively.

(7)      Other borrowings as of March 31, 2016 represent current and noncurrent borrowings under bank loans and other financing arrangements assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Stork. See Note 17 for a further discussion of the acquisition. The majority of these borrowings mature within one year. The carrying amounts of the borrowings under these arrangements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity.

 

(8)                   Derivatives and Hedging

 

The company limits exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most of its engineering and construction contracts through provisions that require client payments in currencies corresponding to the currencies in which cost is incurred. Certain financial exposure, which includes currency and commodity price risk associated with engineering and construction contracts, currency risk associated with monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies and risk associated with interest rate volatility, may subject the company to earnings volatility. In cases where financial exposure is identified, the company generally implements a hedging strategy utilizing derivative instruments as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk. These hedging instruments are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The company formally documents its hedge relationships at inception, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. The company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items. The fair values of all hedging instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. For fair value hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is offset against the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or liability through earnings. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s gain or loss due to changes in fair value is recorded as a component of AOCI and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged item settles. Any ineffective portion of a hedging instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The company maintains master netting arrangements with certain counterparties to facilitate the settlement of derivative instruments; however, the company reports the fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the company had total gross notional amounts of $766 million of foreign currency contracts and $7 million of commodity contracts outstanding relating to hedging of engineering and construction contract obligations and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. The foreign currency contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond December 2019. The commodity contracts are of varying duration, none of which extend beyond December 2017. The impact to earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

The company currently expects to contribute between $15 million and $20 million into its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans during 2016, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, contributions of approximately $9 million were made by the company.

 

(10)             Financing Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2016, the company had a combination of committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $6.1 billion that may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. The committed lines of credit include a $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility and a $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility. Both facilities mature in February 2021. The company may utilize up to $1.75 billion in the aggregate of the combined $3.5 billion committed lines of credit for revolving loans, which may be used for acquisitions and/or general purposes. Each of the credit facilities may be increased up to an additional $500 million subject to certain conditions, and contain customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to tangible net worth of one-to-one and a cap on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for the company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under both facilities bear interest at rates based on the Eurodollar Rate or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. Also included in committed lines of credit as of March 31, 2016 was a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility that was assumed in connection with the acquisition of Stork. This facility was available for revolving loans, bank guarantees and letters of credit and accrued interest at EURIBOR plus 3.75%. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility that may also be used to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility expires in April 2017 and bears interest at EURIBOR plus .75%.

 

Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily to indemnify the company’s clients if the company fails to perform its obligations under its contracts. As of March 31, 2016, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.9 billion were outstanding under these committed and uncommitted lines of credit. As an alternative to letters of credit, surety bonds are used as a form of credit enhancement.

 

In March 2016, the company issued €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes (the “2016 Notes”) due March 21, 2023 and received proceeds of €497 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2016 Notes is payable annually on March 21 of each year, beginning on March 21, 2017. Prior to December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Additionally, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at any time upon the occurrence of certain changes in U.S. tax laws at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In November 2014, the company issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes (the “2014 Notes”) due December 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $491 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and began on June 15, 2015. Prior to September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In September 2011, the company issued $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”) due September 15, 2021 and received proceeds of $492 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and began on March 15, 2012. The company may, at any time, redeem the 2011 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture.

 

For the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the respective indentures, the company will be required to offer to purchase the applicable notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The company is generally not limited under the indentures governing the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness provided the company is in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Stork on March 1, 2016, the company assumed Stork’s outstanding debt obligations, including its 11.0% Super Senior Notes due 2017 (the ‘‘Stork Notes’’), borrowings under the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and other debt obligations. On March 2, 2016, the company gave notice to all holders of the Stork Notes of the full redemption of the outstanding €273 million (or approximately $296 million) principal amount of Stork Notes plus a redemption premium of €7 million (or approximately $8 million) effective March 17, 2016. The redemption of the Stork Notes was initially funded with additional borrowings under the company’s $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, which borrowings were subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes. Certain other outstanding debt obligations assumed in the Stork acquisition of €20 million (or approximately $22 million) were settled in March 2016. See Note 17 for a further discussion of the acquisition.

 

Other borrowings of $51 million as of March 31, 2016 represent bank loans and other financing arrangements assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Stork, exclusive of the Stork Notes.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

 

(11)            Stock-Based Plans

 

The company’s executive and director stock-based compensation plans are described, and informational disclosures are provided, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, restricted stock units totaling 525,975 and 520,947, respectively, were granted to executives, at weighted-average per share prices of $46.07 and $59.05, respectively. For the company’s executives, the restricted stock units granted in 2016 and 2015 generally vest ratably over three years. During the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, options for the purchase of 662,001 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $46.07 per share and 963,288 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $59.05 per share, respectively, were awarded to executives. The options granted in 2016 and 2015 vest ratably over three years. The options expire ten years after the grant date.

 

In the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, performance-based Value Driver Incentive (“VDI”) units totaling 296,052 and 430,970, respectively, were granted to executives at weighted-average per share prices of $46.07 and $59.05, respectively. The number of units is adjusted at the end of each performance period based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. The VDI awards granted in 2016 and 2015 can only be settled in company stock and are accounted for as equity awards in accordance with ASC 718. Both the VDI awards granted in 2016 and 2015 vest after a period of approximately three years. VDI awards granted during 2016 are also subject to a post-vest holding period restriction for the period of three years.

 

(12)            Noncontrolling Interests

 

The company applies the provisions of ASC 810-10-45, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net earnings attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.

 

As required by ASC 810-10-45, the company has separately disclosed on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for all periods presented the amount of net earnings attributable to the company and the amount of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were $15 million and $22 million, respectively. Income taxes associated with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests were immaterial in both periods presented. Distributions paid to noncontrolling interests were $13 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Capital contributions by noncontrolling interests were $1 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

(13)            Contingencies and Commitments

 

The company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to litigation, claims and other commitments and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the asserted value of these matters may be significant, the company currently does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any open matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Other Matters

 

The company has made claims arising from the performance under its contracts. The company recognizes revenue, but not profit, for certain claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) when it is determined that recovery of incurred costs is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Under ASC 605-35-25, these requirements are satisfied when (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. The company periodically evaluates its position and the amounts recognized in revenue with respect to all its claims. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the company had recorded $36 million and $30 million, respectively, of claim revenue for costs incurred to date and such costs are included in contract work in progress. Additional costs, which will increase the claim revenue balance over time, are expected to be incurred in future quarters. The company believes the ultimate recovery of incurred and future costs related to these claims is probable in accordance with ASC 605-35-25.

 

From time to time, the company enters into significant contracts with the U.S. government and its agencies. Government contracts are subject to audits and investigations by government representatives with respect to the company’s compliance with various restrictions and regulations applicable to government contractors, including but not limited to the allowability of costs incurred under reimbursable contracts. In connection with performing government contracts, the company maintains reserves for estimated exposures associated with these matters.

 

(14)            Guarantees

 

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees, which represents the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts, was estimated to be $19.9 billion as of March 31, 2016. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated cost to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed under the contract. For lump-sum or fixed-price contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in accordance with ASC 460 , “Guarantees,” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation.

 

(15)            Partnerships and Joint Ventures

 

In the normal course of business, the company forms partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. The majority of these partnerships or joint ventures are characterized by a 50 percent or less, noncontrolling ownership or participation interest, with decision making and distribution of expected gains and losses typically being proportionate to the ownership or participation interest. Many of the partnership and joint venture agreements provide for capital calls to fund operations, as necessary. Receivables related to work performed for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $212 million and $132 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

UNAUDITED

 

For unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in the construction industry, the company generally recognizes its proportionate share of revenue, cost and profit in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and uses the one-line equity method of accounting in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is a common application of ASC 810-10-45-14 in the construction industry. The equity method of accounting is also used for other investments in entities where the company has significant influence. The company’s investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures accounted for under these methods amounted to $714 million and $292 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and were classified under “Investments and goodwill” and “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In August 2015, the company entered into an agreement to form COOEC Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“CFHI”), a joint venture in which the company has a 49% ownership interest and Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, has 51% ownership interest. Through CFHI, the two companies own, operate and manage the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. In February 2016, the company made an initial cash investment of $350 million and an additional investment of $140 million is targeted for the third quarter of 2016. The carrying value of the company’s investment in CFHI was $352 million as of March 31, 2016.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation,” the company assesses its partnerships and joint ventures at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The company considers a partnership or joint venture a VIE if either (a) the total equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or (c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Upon the occurrence of certain events outlined in ASC 810, the company reassesses its initial determination of whether the partnership or joint venture is a VIE. The majority of the company’s partnerships and joint ventures qualify as VIEs because the total equity investment is typically nominal and not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

 

The company also performs a qualitative assessment of each VIE to determine if the company is its primary beneficiary, as required by ASC 810. The company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE if the company has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The company considers the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties in determining if the company is the primary beneficiary. The company also considers all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary. As required by ASC 810, management’s assessment of whether the company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is continuously performed.

 

The net carrying value of the unconsolidated VIEs classified under “Investments and goodwill” and “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was a net asset of $272 million and $208 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Some of the company’s VIEs have debt; however, such debt is typically non-recourse in nature. The company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding commitments. Future funding commitments as of March 31, 2016 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $15 million.

 

In some cases, the company is required to consolidate certain VIEs. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were $1.0 billion and $540 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the consolidated VIEs were

$863 million and $443 million, respectively. The assets of a VIE are restricted for use only for the particular VIE and are not available for general operations of the company.

 

The company has agreements with certain VIEs to provide financial or performance assurances to clients. See Note 14 for a further discussion of such agreements. A discussion of some of the company’s more significant or unique VIEs is provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

(16)            Operating Information by Segment

 

During the first quarter of 2016, the company changed the composition of its reportable segments to better reflect the diverse end markets that the company serves. The company now reports its operating results in four reportable segments as follows: Energy, Chemicals & Mining; Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity. Segment operating information and assets for 2015 have been recast to reflect these changes.

 

The Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment is driven by the supply and demand for commodities. This segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and project management services for chemicals and petrochemicals, downstream refining, pipelines, upstream oil and gas production, liquefied natural gas and offshore production markets. This segment also provides design, engineering, procurement, construction, project management and commissioning and start-up support for mining and metals markets.

 

The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment provides design, engineering, procurement, construction, project management, start-up and commissioning, and technical services to the transportation, commercial and institutional, life sciences and advanced manufacturing, telecommunications, microelectronics and water sectors as well as the gas fueled, solid fueled, environmental compliance, renewables, and nuclear power markets. The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment includes the operations of NuScale Power, LLC, an Oregon-based designer of small modular nuclear reactors, which is managed as a separate operating segment within the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment.

 

The Government segment provides engineering, construction, logistics, base and facilities operations and maintenance, contingency response and environmental and nuclear services to the U.S. government and governments abroad.

 

The Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment is comprised of several operating segments that do not meet the requirements under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” for separate disclosure, and therefore, have been combined under the aggregation criteria of ASC 280. The Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment includes the operations of the company’s equipment business, temporary staffing, power services, the former operations & maintenance business line as well as the newly acquired Stork.

 

For service contracts (including maintenance contracts) that do not satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition using the percentage-of-completion method, revenue is recognized when services are performed. Revenue recognized on service contracts that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset under contract work in progress. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are classified as a current liability under advance billings on contracts.

Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 included the operations of NuScale, which are primarily for research and development activities associated with the licensing and commercialization of small modular nuclear reactor technology. In May 2014, NuScale entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) establishing the terms and conditions of a multi-year funding award that allows certain qualified expenditures to be reimbursed. NuScale expenses included in the determination of segment profit were $26 million and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. NuScale expenses were net of qualified reimbursable expenses of $14 million for both the three month periods of 2016 and 2015. The company recognizes the cost-sharing award with the DOE, when earned, as a reduction of “Total cost of revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and, correspondingly, as an increase to segment profit in the period for which the related costs are recognized.

 

A reconciliation of total segment profit to earnings before taxes is as follows:

The increase in total assets in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment resulted from the company’s investment in CFHI and increased working capital in support of project execution activities. The increase in total assets in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity resulted from the company’s acquisition of Stork, as well as increased working capital in support of project execution activities.

 

(17)            Acquisition of Stork Holding B.V.

 

In December 2015, the company signed an agreement to acquire 100 percent of Stork for an aggregate purchase price of €695 million (or approximately $756 million), including the assumption of debt and other liabilities. Stork, based in the Netherlands, is a global provider of maintenance, modification and asset integrity services associated with large existing industrial facilities in the oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, industrial and power markets.

 

On March 1, 2016 (“the acquisition date”), the company completed the Stork acquisition and paid €276 million (or approximately $300 million) in cash consideration. The company borrowed €200 million (or approximately $217 million) under its $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, and paid €76 million (or approximately $83 million) of cash on hand to initially finance the Stork acquisition. The €200 million borrowed under the $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility was subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes as discussed in Note 10.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition the company assumed Stork’s outstanding debt obligations, including the Stork Notes, borrowings under a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and other debt obligations. On March 2, 2016, the company gave notice to all holders of the Stork Notes of the full redemption of the outstanding €273 million (or approximately $296 million) principal amount of Stork Notes plus a redemption premium of €7 million (or approximately $8 million) effective March 17, 2016. The redemption of the Stork Notes was initially funded with additional borrowings under the company’s $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, which borrowings were subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes. Certain other outstanding debt obligations assumed in the Stork acquisition of €20 million (or approximately $22 million) were settled in March 2016. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility that is also available to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility expires in April 2017 and bears interest at EURIBOR plus .75%.

 

The initial accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Stork acquisition is incomplete as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q. Third party valuations for property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and pension obligations are still underway; and the company is continuing to assess deferred taxes, certain tax positions and other liabilities related to the acquisition. Therefore, the amounts recognized in the financial statements for the business combination have been determined provisionally. The aggregate purchase price noted above has been preliminarily allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets acquired, totaling €532 million (or approximately $578 million), was preliminarily recorded as goodwill and intangible assets.

Any forward-looking statements that we may make are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those anticipated by us. Any forward-looking statements are subject to the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results of operations, financial condition, cost reductions, acquisitions, dispositions, financing transactions, operations, expansion, consolidation and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

 

Due to known and unknown risks, the company’s actual results may differ materially from its expectations or projections. While most risks affect only future cost or revenue anticipated by the company, some risks may relate to accruals that have already been reflected in earnings. The company’s failure to receive payments of accrued amounts or incurrence of liabilities in excess of amounts previously recognized could result in a charge against future earnings. As a result, the reader is cautioned to recognize and consider the inherently uncertain nature of forward-looking statements and not to place undue reliance on them.

 

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the company’s press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under the heading “Item 1A. — Risk Factors” in the company’s Form 10-K filed February 18, 2016. These filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, on the company’s website at http://investor.fluor.com or upon request from the company’s Investor Relations Department at (469) 398-7220. The company cannot control such risk factors and other uncertainties, and in many cases, cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties should be considered when evaluating the company and deciding whether to invest in its securities. Except as otherwise required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Summary

 

Consolidated revenue of $4.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased slightly compared to $4.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Revenue in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment decreased in the current year period due to reduced levels of project execution activities in the mining and metals business line and for certain large upstream projects progressing to completion. Revenue growth in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment due to increased project execution activities for several power projects, as well as revenue contributions from the Stork acquisition, largely offset this revenue decline.

 

Net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation were $104 million and $144 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The first quarter of 2016 reflects lower earnings contributions from the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment when compared to the prior year and higher corporate general and administrative expenses, primarily associated with the Stork acquisition.

 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 37.1 percent and 33.5 percent, respectively. The higher effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily due to foreign losses without benefit. Both periods benefited from earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not typically the responsibility of the company.

 

Diluted earnings per share of $0.74 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased as compared to $0.96 for the corresponding period of 2015 primarily due to the lower earnings for the current year period.

The company’s results reported by foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are affected by foreign currency volatility. When the U.S. dollar appreciates against the non-U.S. dollar functional currencies of these subsidiaries, the company’s reported revenue, cost and earnings, after translation into U.S. dollars, are lower than what they would have been had the U.S. dollar depreciated against the same foreign currencies or if there had been no change in the exchange rates.

 

The Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment remains well positioned for new project activity in downstream, petrochemical and select upstream markets; however, declining oil prices since the latter part of 2014 have affected the timing of new awards and the pace of execution on certain existing projects. The mining and metals business has continued to slow as major capital investment decisions by most mining customers have been deferred. Revenue in the Government segment continues to be adversely impacted by reduced project execution activities of LOGCAP IV.

 

Consolidated new awards were $4.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to new awards of $4.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Government and Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segments were the major contributors to the new award activity in the first quarter of 2016. Approximately 18 percent of consolidated new awards for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were for projects located outside of the United States compared to 41 percent for the first quarter of 2015.

 

Consolidated backlog as of March 31, 2016 was $46.0 billion compared to $41.2 billion as of March 31, 2015. The increase in backlog was primarily due to significant new awards booked after the first quarter of 2015 in the Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment. As of March 31, 2016, approximately 57 percent of consolidated backlog related to projects outside of the United States compared to 63 percent as of March 31, 2015. Although backlog reflects business which is considered to be firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Backlog is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, and deferrals, as appropriate.

 

On March 1, 2016, the company acquired 100 percent of Stork Holding B.V. (“Stork”) for an aggregate purchase price of €695 million (or approximately $756 million), including the assumption of debt and other liabilities. Stork, based in the Netherlands, is a global provider of maintenance, modification and asset integrity services associated with large existing industrial facilities in the oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, industrial and power markets. The company paid €276 million (or approximately $300 million) in cash consideration. The operations of Stork will be reported in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment below. See Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the acquisition.

 

In February 2016, the company made an initial cash investment of $350 million in COOEC Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“CFHI”), a joint venture in which the company has a 49% ownership interest and Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, has 51% ownership interest. Through CFHI, the two companies own, operate and manage the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. An additional investment of $140 million is targeted for the third quarter of 2016.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, the company changed the composition of its reportable segments to better reflect the diverse end markets that the company serves. The company now reports its operating results in four reportable segments as follows: Energy, Chemicals & Mining; Industrial, Infrastructure & Power; Government; and Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity. Segment operating information and assets for 2015 have been recast to reflect these changes. See Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the company’s reportable segments.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by 18 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a significant decline in volume in the mining and metals business line, including the completion of a large copper concentrator project in Peru as well as reduced volume of project execution activities for certain large upstream

projects that were completed or nearing completion, including a coal bed methane project in Australia and an oil sands facility in Canada. This revenue decline was partially offset by an increase in project execution activities for numerous downstream projects across various regions and chemicals projects in the U.S. Gulf Coast region.

 

Segment profit for the first three months of 2016 decreased by 16 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease in segment profit was primarily due to reduced contributions from mining and metal business line and upstream projects that were completed or nearing completion which was partially offset by an increase in project execution activities for numerous downstream projects across various regions and chemicals projects in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Segment profit margin for the three months ended March 2016 is essentially level with the corresponding period in 2015.

 

New awards for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $579 million compared to $3.3 billion for the corresponding period of 2015. Backlog of $26.8 billion as of March 31, 2016 decreased from $29.7 billion as of March 31, 2015. The reduction in backlog resulted from new award activity being outpaced by work performed. T he continued decline in oil prices since the latter part of 2014 have affected the timing of new awards and pace of execution on certain existing projects. The mining and metals business line continues to experience the deferral of major capital investment decisions by some mining customers as a result of softening commodity demand.

 

Total assets in the segment were $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2016 compared to $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2015. The increase in total assets primarily resulted from the company’s investment in CFHI and increased working capital in support of project execution activities. For further discussion of such agreement, see “Liquidity and Financial Condition” below.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by 52 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to increased project execution activities in the power business line for several projects in the early stages of project execution including two nuclear projects and several gas-fired power plants in the southeastern United States. The revenue growth was partially offset by reduced project execution activities in the infrastructure and life sciences & advance manufacturing business lines.

 

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by 22 percent from the corresponding period in 2015. The increase in segment profit was primarily due to higher contributions associated with the project execution activities for several power business line projects in the early stages of project execution which were offset by reduced project execution activities in the infrastructure business line and an increase in NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable expenditures. Segment profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 1.4 percent compared to 1.8 percent for the corresponding period in 2015. The reduction in segment profit margin was principally driven by the close out of certain infrastructure projects in the first quarter of 2015.

 

The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment includes the operations of NuScale, which are primarily research and development activities. In May 2014, NuScale entered into a Cooperative Agreement establishing the terms and conditions of a funding award totaling $217 million under the DOE’s Small Modular Reactor Licensing Technical Support Program. This cost-sharing award requires NuScale to use the DOE funds to cover first-of-a-kind engineering costs associated with small modular reactor design development and certification. The DOE is to provide cost reimbursement for up to 43 percent of qualified expenditures incurred during the period from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2019. The company recognizes the cost-sharing award as a reduction of “Total cost of revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and, correspondingly, as an increase to segment profit in the period for which the related costs are recognized. NuScale expenses, net of qualified reimbursable expenditures, included in the determination of segment profit, were $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

New awards for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $1.4 billion compared to $530 million for the first quarter of 2015. New awards for the current quarter were primarily in the infrastructure business line and included the Loop 202 South

Mountain Freeway Project in Arizona. Backlog increased to $10.3 billion as of March 31, 2016 compared to $4.8 billion as of March 31, 2015 primarily due to a $5.0 billion award from Westinghouse Electric Company to manage the construction workforce at two Westinghouse nuclear power plants projects in Georgia and South Carolina on a cost-plus, fixed-fee basis awarded in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Total segment assets were $574 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to $544 million as of December 31, 2015.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased 6 percent compared to the same period in 2015. Increased revenues from project execution activities at three multi-year decommissioning and decontamination projects and a construction project in the services business line were largely offset by a continued reduction in project execution activities associated with LOGCAP IV.

 

Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased 16 percent when compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the continued implementation of the company’s cost optimization efforts. This increase was partially offset by lower contributions from the reduction in project execution activities associated with LOGCAP IV. Segment profit margin for the first quarter of 2016 was essentially flat when compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

New awards for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $2.3 billion compared to $74 million for the same period in the prior year. New awards during 2016 included the Idaho Cleanup Project Core Contract and extension to the gaseous diffusion plant project in Portsmouth, Ohio. Backlog as of March 31, 2016 increased to $5.2 billion compared to $4.2 billion as of March 31, 2015. This increase resulted from the previously mentioned significant new awards in the environmental and nuclear business. Total backlog included $2.9 billion and $1.6 billion of unfunded government contracts as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Total assets in the Government segment were $449 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to $495 million as of December 31, 2015.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by 24 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. Revenue in 2016 includes one month of revenue associated with the recent acquisition of the Stork business, which closed on March 1, 2016. The increase in revenue from Stork was partially offset by lower revenue for the equipment business line, which experienced volume declines in Latin America and Afghanistan, as well as reduced project execution activities for the power services business line.

 

Segment profit for the first three months of 2016 decreased by 10 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2015. Increased segment profit contribution from the one month of ownership of Stork was more than offset by reduced segment profit associated with the volume declines in the equipment and power services business lines noted above. Segment profit margin decreased to 6.5 percent for the three months ended

March 31, 2016 compared to 9.0 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015, principally driven by the inclusion of Stork in 2016 and reduced profit margins in the power services business line resulting from volume declines. Revenue and profit contributions from Stork are expected to fluctuate during the year due to the weather dependent cyclicality of the business, with first quarter performance generally lower than subsequent quarters.

 

New awards in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment for the first three months of 2016 were $404 million, compared to $496 million for the first quarter of 2015. Backlog of $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2016 increased from $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2015. The increase in backlog is primarily due to the inclusion of $1.5 billion backlog assumed in the Stork acquisition.

 

The total assets in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment were $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2016, compared to $924 million as of March 31, 2015. The increase in total assets resulted from the company’s acquisition of Stork as well as increased working capital in support of project execution activities.

 

Other

 

Corporate general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $55 million compared to $41 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in corporate general and administrative expense is primarily attributable to transaction costs and integration activities associated with the Stork acquisition and legal settlement expenses. Net interest expense was $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $7 million during the corresponding period of 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to interest associated with debt assumed in the Stork acquisition and the €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes issued in March 2016. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is discussed above under “— Summary.”

LITIGATION AND MATTERS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

See Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and access to capital markets. The company has committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $6.1 billion, which may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. The company believes that for at least the next 12 months, cash generated from operations, along with its unused credit capacity of $4.2 billion and substantial cash position, is sufficient to support operating requirements. However, the company regularly reviews its sources and uses of liquidity and may pursue opportunities to increase its liquidity position. The company’s financial strategy and consistent performance have earned it strong credit ratings, resulting in competitive advantage and continued access to the capital markets. As of March 31, 2016, the company was in compliance with all its covenants related to its debt agreements. The company’s total debt to total capitalization (“debt-to-capital”) ratio as of March 31, 2016 was 35.4 percent compared to 24.8 percent as of December 31, 2015.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2016 compared to $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents combined with current and noncurrent marketable securities were $2.0 billion and $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are held in numerous accounts throughout the world to fund the company’s global project execution activities. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents amounted to $953 million and $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents exclude deposits of U.S. legal entities that are either swept into overnight, offshore accounts or invested in offshore, short-term time deposits, to which there is unrestricted access.

 

In evaluating its liquidity needs, the company considers cash and cash equivalents held by its consolidated VIEs (joint ventures and partnerships). These amounts (which totaled $365 million and $290 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) were not necessarily readily available for general purposes. In its evaluation, the company also considers the extent to which the current balance of its advance billings on contracts (which totaled $745 million and $754 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) is likely to be sustained or consumed over the near term for project execution

activities and the cash flow requirements of its various foreign operations. In some cases, it may not be financially efficient to move cash and cash equivalents between countries due to statutory dividend limitations and/or adverse tax consequences. The company did not consider any cash to be permanently reinvested overseas as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and, as a result, has accrued the U.S. deferred tax liability on foreign earnings, as appropriate.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings sources and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities which consist primarily of working capital balances for projects. Working capital levels vary from period to period and are primarily affected by the company’s volume of work. These levels are also impacted by the mix, stage of completion and commercial terms of engineering and construction projects, as well as the company’s execution of its projects within budget. Working capital requirements also vary by project and relate to clients in various industries and locations throughout the world. Most contracts require payments as the projects progress. The company evaluates the counterparty credit risk of third parties as part of its project risk review process. The company maintains adequate reserves for potential credit losses and generally such losses have been minimal and within management’s estimates. Additionally, certain projects receive advance payments from clients. A normal trend for these projects is to have higher cash balances during the initial phases of execution which then level out toward the end of the construction phase. As a result, the company’s cash position is reduced as customer advances are worked off, unless they are replaced by advances on other projects. The company maintains cash reserves and borrowing facilities to provide additional working capital in the event that a project’s net operating cash outflows exceed its available cash balances.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, working capital increased primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and contract work in progress partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. The factors that contributed to these increases include:

 

·                   The increases in accounts receivable, contract work in progress and accounts payable due to the Stork acquisition.

 

·                   An increase in accounts receivable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, which resulted primarily from normal billing activities for various projects and was not indicative of any significant collection or liquidity issues.

 

·                   An increase in contract work in progress in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment.

 

·                   An increase in accounts payable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, which resulted primarily from normal invoicing and payment activities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, working capital increased primarily due to an increase in prepaid income taxes and a decrease in accounts payable partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. Significant drivers of these fluctuations were:

 

·                   A decrease in accounts payable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment. The lower accounts payable balance in 2015 resulted primarily from normal invoicing and payment activities for numerous projects.

 

·                   A decrease in accounts receivable in the Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment, primarily for the coal bed methane gas project in Australia.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $115 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $39 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The improvement in cash flows from operating activities resulted primarily from cash outflows in the 2015 period totaling $306 million associated with discontinued operations as discussed below, partially offset by unfavorable period-over-period changes in working capital.

 

The company contributed $9.0 million into its international defined benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0.9 million during the corresponding period of the prior year. The company currently expects to contribute between $15 million and $20 million during 2016, which is expected to be in excess of the minimum funding required.

 

During 2014, the company recorded a loss from discontinued operations in connection with the reassessment of estimated loss contingencies related to the previously divested lead business of St. Joe Minerals Corporation and The Doe Run Company in

Herculaneum, Missouri. In October 2014, the company entered into a settlement agreement with counsel for a number of plaintiffs, and in January 2015, the company paid $306 million pursuant to the settlement agreement.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash utilized by investing activities amounted to $560 million and $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The primary investing activities included purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities; capital expenditures; disposals of property, plant and equipment; business acquisitions; and investments in partnerships and joint ventures.

 

The company holds cash in bank deposits and marketable securities which are governed by the company’s investment policy. This policy focuses on, in order of priority, the preservation of capital, maintenance of liquidity and maximization of yield. These investments include money market funds which invest in U.S. Government-related securities, bank deposits placed with highly-rated financial institutions, repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by U.S. Government-related securities, high-grade commercial paper and high quality short-term and medium-term fixed income securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases of such securities by $99 million and $48 million, respectively. The company held combined current and noncurrent marketable securities of $320 million and $418 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Capital expenditures of $49 million and $74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to construction equipment associated with equipment operations in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment, as well as expenditures for facilities and investments in information technology. Proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment of $26 million and $30 million during the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to the disposal of construction equipment associated with the equipment operations in the Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment.

 

On March 1, 2016, the company acquired 100 percent of Stork for an aggregate purchase price of €695 million (or approximately $756 million), including the assumption of debt and other liabilities. Stork, based in the Netherlands, is a global provider of maintenance, modification and asset integrity services associated with large existing industrial facilities in the oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, industrial and power markets. The company paid €276 million (or approximately $300 million) in cash consideration. The company borrowed €200 million (or approximately $217 million) under its $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, and paid €76 million (or approximately $83 million) of cash on hand to initially finance the Stork acquisition. The €200 million borrowed under the $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility was subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes as discussed in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The company continues to make investments in partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. Investments in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures were $402 million and $22 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Investments during the three months ended March 31, 2016 included an initial cash investment of $350 million in COOEC Fluor Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“CFHI”), a joint venture in which the company has a 49% ownership interest and Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, has 51% ownership interest. Through CFHI, the two companies own, operate and manage the Zhuhai Fabrication Yard in China’s Guangdong province. An additional investment of $140 million is targeted for the third quarter of 2016.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities of $171 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and cash utilized by financing activities of $154 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 included company stock repurchases, company dividend payments to stockholders, proceeds from the issuance of senior notes, repayments of debt, distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests, and borrowings and repayment under revolving lines of credit.

 

Cash utilized by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 included the repurchase and cancellation of 202,650 and 1,939,997 shares of the company’s common stock for $10 million and $112 million, respectively, under its stock repurchase program.

 

Quarterly cash dividends are typically paid during the month following the quarter in which they are declared. Therefore, dividends declared in the fourth quarter of 2015 were paid in the first quarter of 2016. Quarterly cash dividends of $0.21 per share were declared in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015. The payment and level of future cash dividends is subject to the discretion of the company’s Board of Directors.

In March 2016, the company issued €500 million of 1.750% Senior Notes (the “2016 Notes”) due March 21, 2023 and received proceeds of €497 million (or approximately $550 million), net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2016 Notes is payable annually on March 21 of each year, beginning on March 21, 2017. Prior to December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after December 21, 2022, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Additionally, the company may redeem the 2016 Notes at any time upon the occurrence of certain changes in U.S. tax laws at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In November 2014, the company issued $500 million of 3.5% Senior Notes (the “2014 Notes”) due December 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $491 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and began on June 15, 2015. Prior to September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. On or after September 15, 2024, the company may redeem the 2014 Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

In September 2011, the company issued $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”) due September 15, 2021 and received proceeds of $492 million, net of underwriting discounts. Interest on the 2011 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and began on March 15, 2012. The company may, at any time, redeem the 2011 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture.

 

For the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes, if a change of control triggering event occurs, as defined by the terms of the respective indentures, the company will be required to offer to purchase applicable notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The company is generally not limited under the indentures governing the 2016 Notes, the 2014 Notes and the 2011 Notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness provided the company is in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of Stork on March 1, 2016, the company assumed Stork’s outstanding debt obligations, including its 11.0% Super Senior Notes due 2017 (the ‘‘Stork Notes’’), borrowings under a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, and other debt obligations. On March 2, 2016, the company gave notice to all holders of the Stork Notes of the full redemption of the outstanding €273 million (or approximately $296 million) principal amount of Stork Notes plus a redemption premium of €7 million (or approximately $8 million) effective March 17, 2016. The redemption of the Stork Notes was initially funded with additional borrowings under the company’s $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility, which borrowings were subsequently repaid from the net proceeds of the 2016 Notes . Certain other outstanding debt obligations assumed in the Stork acquisition of €20 million (or approximately $22 million) were settled during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests represent cash outflows to partners of consolidated partnerships or joint ventures created primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. Distributions paid were $13 million and $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Distributions in 2016 primarily related to a transportation joint venture project in the United States.

 

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

 

Unrealized translation gains and losses resulting from changes in functional currency exchange rates are reflected in the cumulative translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, most major foreign currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation gain of $36 million, of which $22 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, most major foreign currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar resulting in unrealized translation losses of $78 million, of which $49 million related to cash held by foreign subsidiaries. The cash held in foreign currencies will primarily be used for project-related expenditures in those currencies, and therefore the company’s exposure to exchange gains and losses is generally mitigated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Guarantees and Commitments

 

As of March 31, 2016, the company had a combination of committed and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $6.1 billion that may be used for revolving loans and letters of credit. The committed lines of credit include a $1.7 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility and a $1.8 billion Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Facility. Both facilities mature in February 2021. The company may utilize up to $1.75 billion in the aggregate of the combined $3.5 billion committed lines of credit for revolving loans, which may be used for acquisitions and/or general purposes. Each of the credit facilities may be increased up to an additional $500 million subject to certain conditions, and contain customary financial and restrictive covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to tangible net worth of one-to-one and a cap on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for the company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under both facilities bear interest at rates based on the Eurodollar Rate or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. Also included in committed lines of credit as of March 31, 2016 was a €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility that was assumed in connection with the acquisition of Stork. This facility was available for revolving loans, bank guarantees and letters of credit and accrued interest at EURIBOR plus 3.75%. In April 2016, the company repaid and replaced the €110 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a €125 million Revolving Credit Facility that may also be used to fund working capital in the ordinary course of business. This replacement facility expires in April 2017 and bears interest at EURIBOR plus .75%.

 

Letters of credit are provided in the ordinary course of business primarily to indemnify the company’s clients if the company fails to perform its obligations under its contracts. As of March 31, 2016, letters of credit and borrowings totaling $1.9 billion were outstanding under these committed and uncommitted lines of credit. As an alternative to letters of credit, surety bonds are used as a form of credit enhancement.

 

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various agreements providing performance assurances and guarantees to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated and consolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities. The performance guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from mechanical completion of the project being constructed to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees, which represents the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties under engineering and construction contracts, was estimated to be $19.9 billion as of March 31, 2016. Amounts that may be required to be paid in excess of estimated cost to complete contracts in progress are not estimable. For cost reimbursable contracts, amounts that may become payable pursuant to guarantee provisions are normally recoverable from the client for work performed under the contract. For lump-sum or fixed-price contracts, the performance guarantee amount is the cost to complete the contracted work, less amounts remaining to be billed to the client under the contract. Remaining billable amounts could be greater or less than the cost to complete. In those cases where costs exceed the remaining amounts payable under the contract, the company may have recourse to third parties, such as owners, co-venturers, subcontractors or vendors for claims. The company assessed its performance guarantee obligation as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in accordance with ASC 460, “Guarantees,” and the carrying value of the liability was not material.

 

Financial guarantees, made in the ordinary course of business in certain limited circumstances, are entered into with financial institutions and other credit grantors and generally obligate the company to make payment in the event of a default by the borrower. These arrangements generally require the borrower to pledge collateral to support the fulfillment of the borrower’s obligation.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In the normal course of business, the company forms partnerships or joint ventures primarily for the execution of single contracts or projects. The company evaluates each partnership and joint venture to determine whether the entity is a VIE. If the entity is determined to be a VIE, the company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary and needs to consolidate the entity.

 

For further discussion of the company’s VIEs, see Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

EXHIBIT 10.7

 

FORM OF VALUE DRIVER INCENTIVE AWARD AGREEMENT

 

This Value Driver Incentive Award Agreement (“ Agreement ”) entered into as of [GRANT DATE] (the “ Grant Date ”), by and between Fluor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and you (“ Grantee ” or “ you ”) evidences and confirms the following Value Driver Incentive Award (“ VDI Award ”) under the Fluor Corporation Amended & Restated 2008 Executive Performance Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”).  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

Section 1.               AWARD SUBJECT TO PLAN

 

Your VDI Award is made subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, including any terms, rules or determinations made by the Committee, pursuant to its administrative authority under the Plan and such further terms as are set forth in the Plan that are applicable to awards thereunder, including without limitation provisions on adjustment of awards, non-transferability, satisfaction of tax requirements and compliance with other laws.

 

Section 2.               MEASURE DEFINITIONS

 

Your VDI Award performance criteria are comprised of two measures: Annual Earnings Per Share (“ EPS ”) and Annual Return on Assets Employed (“ ROAE ”) (the “ Performance Targets ”) averaged over a three-year performance period beginning on January 1, [GRANT YEAR] and ending on December 31, [TWO YEARS FOLLOWING GRANT YEAR] (“ Performance Period ”). EPS represents the total earnings per share on the Company’s stock. ROAE is calculated by dividing full year corporate net earnings (excluding after-tax interest expense) by net assets employed. Net assets employed is defined as total assets (excluding excess cash and current and non-current marketable securities) minus current liabilities (excluding non-recourse debt) and is calculated based on average net assets reported for the previous five quarters.  Both EPS and ROAE may be subject to certain adjustments approved by the Committee in connection with the grants.

 

Section 3.               PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND VALUE OF AWARD

 

Your VDI Award target amount is communicated in your [GRANT YEAR] LTI award letter. This target amount will be expressed in units by dividing the target amount by the closing price of the Company’s common stock ($[PRICE]), par value $.01 per share (the “ Shares ”), on [GRANT DATE] ( e.g., if your target award amount is $100,000 and the Company’s Share price is $46.07 on the applicable date, this target amount will be expressed as 2,171 units).

 

These units will be adjusted based on the Company’s performance for the Performance Period against the established Performance Targets, which will be based on two equally weighted measures.  50% of the VDI Award performance will be based on average annual EPS and 50% of the VDI Award performance will be based on average annual ROAE. For [GRANT YEAR], specific performance targets are set forth on Exhibit A, which may be attached hereto or sent to you separately at a later date. Specific performance targets for [FOLLOWING YEAR] and [TWO YEARS FROM GRANT DATE] will be set at the beginning of the respective year and provided to you thereafter.

 

Once the units are adjusted for the Company’s performance, the number of units will not change for this grant.

 

Section 4.               RETENTION PERIOD AND PAYOUT

 

The period commencing [GRANT DATE] and ending on March 6, [THREE YEARS FROM GRANT YEAR] will be the “ Retention Period ”. Your VDI Award will vest in full on March 6, [THREE YEARS FROM GRANT YEAR] (the “ Vesting Date ”), subject to the continued employment requirements or other exceptions contained in Section 5 below.  Payment of the VDI Award will be made as soon as practicable after the Vesting Date, if any, except as provided in Section 5.  The VDI Award will be paid (i.e., settled) in Shares.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4 and Section 5 hereof, upon the issuance to Grantee of Shares hereunder, Grantee will also receive additional Shares equal to the amount of accrued dividends or distributions paid or made by the Company on a quarterly basis, which dividends or distributions will be deemed to be reinvested throughout the Performance Period, based on the Shares awarded under this VDI Award and the performance level earned during the Performance Period ; provided, that any fractional Shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

Grantee may not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares issued pursuant to this award until three (3) years after the vesting of the underlying award (“Post-Vesting Holding Period”).  During the Post-Vesting Holding Period, Awardee will be able to vote the Shares and receive any dividends issued, if any, and the Shares must remain with the Company designated broker until the three (3) year period has run. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these restrictions shall immediately lapse upon grantee’s death.

 

1



 

Section 5.               CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT

 

Vesting of the VDI Award is conditioned upon you remaining in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries for the Retention Period or satisfying the exceptions described in this Section 5.  You will forfeit your right to receive the VDI Award if it has not become vested prior to your termination of employment for any reason unless (i) your termination is on account of death more than one year from the grant date, (ii) your Disability has occurred more than one year from the grant date, (iii) your termination is in connection with your retirement more than one year from the grant date (where retirement is determined in accordance with applicable Company personnel policies), or (iv) your termination is a Qualifying Termination that occurs within two years after a Change in Control of the Company.

 

If your employment terminates during the Retention Period, but more than one year from the grant date, as a result of retirement (provided you retire and deliver a signed non-competition agreement in a form acceptable to the Company), the VDI Award will continue to vest over the Retention Period and continue to become payable in accordance with its terms on the Vesting Date as described in Section 4, notwithstanding such termination.  Subject to the one year holding period described in this paragraph, if your employment with the Company or its subsidiaries is terminated on account of your death or your Disability, the VDI Award will vest and continue to become payable in accordance with its terms on the Vesting Date as described in section 4 (provided that such award has not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions in this Agreement). In the event that you incur a Qualifying Termination within two years after a Change in Control of the Company, the VDI Award will immediately vest and be paid to you at target performance levels as soon as practicable after such termination (provided that such award has not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.)  However, under all circumstances other than your Qualifying Termination that occurs within two years after a Change in Control, any VDI Award held less than one year from the Grant Date will be forfeited regardless of the reason for termination.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement confers any right of continuing employment with the Company or its subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event your employment is terminated for Cause (as defined herein), regardless of whether you are retirement eligible, you will forfeit your right to receive any unvested VDI Award, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the event of a Change in Control the successor to the Company does not assume this VDI Award, the VDI Award will immediately vest and will be paid at target performance levels as soon as practicable following the Change of Control (provided that the VDI Award has not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5).

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “ Change in Control ” and “ Disability ” mean, respectively, a change in control or your disability determined in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 409A, as set forth in Appendix B to  this Agreement.

 

In connection with a Change in Control, the term “ Qualifying Termination ” means your involuntary termination of employment by the Company without Cause or your resignation for Good Reason.  For this purpose, “ Cause ” means your dishonesty, fraud, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, conflict of interest, commission of a felony, material failure or refusal to perform your job duties in accordance with Company policies, a material violation of Company policy that causes harm to the Company or its subsidiaries or other wrongful conduct of a similar nature and degree; and “ Good Reason ” means a material diminution of your compensation (including, without limitation, base compensation, annual bonus opportunities, and/or equity incentive compensation opportunities), a material diminution of your authority, duties or responsibilities, a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom you are required to report or a material diminution of the budget over which you retain authority; provided, however, that no later than sixty (60) days after learning of the action (or inaction) described herein as the basis for a termination of employment for Good Reason, you must advise the Company in writing that the action (or inaction) constitutes grounds for a termination of your employment for Good Reason, in which event the Company will have thirty (30) days to correct such action (or inaction) (the “ Cure Period ”) and if such action (or inaction) is timely corrected within the Cure Period, then you will not be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason as a result of such action (or inaction). If such action or inaction is not timely corrected within the Cure Period, then you will be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason at any time within the one-hundred and twenty (120) day period following expiration of the Cure Period.

 

Section 6.               TAX WITHHOLDING

 

Regardless of any action the Company or the Grantee’s employer (the “ Employer ”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“ Tax-Related Items ”), the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of a VDI Award, including the grant and vesting of the VDI Award, subsequent delivery of the Shares and/or (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of a VDI Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. The Grantee will pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the Grantee’s receipt of a VDI Award that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Grantee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the VDI Award payment if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

2



 

Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee by (1) withholding from the VDI Award a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount, as defined below and/or (2) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer.  The “ Retained Share Amount ” means a number of Shares equal to the quotient of the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the VDI Award payment on the relevant date, divided by the fair market value of one Share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, the Grantee understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the VDI Award.

 

Grantee acknowledges and understands that Grantee should consult a tax advisor regarding Grantee’s tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.

 

Section 7.               SEVERABILITY

 

In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement are invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated will be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

 

Section 8.               DATA PROTECTION

 

THE GRANTEE HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE GRANTEE’S PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG, AS APPLICABLE, THE EMPLOYER, AND THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY REQUEST A LIST WITH THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF ANY POTENTIAL RECIPIENTS OF THE DATA BY CONTACTING THE LOCAL HUMAN RESOURCES REPRESENTATIVE. THE GRANTEE AUTHORIZES THE RECIPIENTS TO RECEIVE, POSSESS, USE, RETAIN AND TRANSFER THE DATA, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, FOR THE PURPOSES OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN, INCLUDING ANY REQUISITE TRANSFER OF SUCH DATA, AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO A BROKER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY WITH WHOM THE GRANTEE MAY ELECT TO DEPOSIT SHARES, IF ANY, ACQUIRED UNDER THE PLAN. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT DATA WILL BE HELD ONLY AS LONG AS IS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT, ADMINISTER AND MANAGE PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY, AT ANY TIME, VIEW DATA, REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE STORAGE AND PROCESSING OF THE DATA, REQUIRE ANY NECESSARY AMENDMENTS TO THE DATA OR REFUSE OR WITHDRAW THE CONSENTS HEREIN, IN ANY CASE WITHOUT COST, BY CONTACTING THE LOCAL HUMAN RESOURCES REPRESENTATIVE IN WRITING.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF REFUSING TO CONSENT OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT, THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY CONTACT THE STOCK PLAN ADMINISTRATOR AT THE COMPANY.

 

Section 9.               ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND WAIVER

 

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(a)                      the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement;

 

(b)                      the grant of VDI Awards is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of VDI Awards, or benefits in lieu of VDI Awards, even if VDI Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

 

3



 

(c)                       all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 

(d)                      the Grantee’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment with Employer and will not interfere with the ability of Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment relationship and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by law;

 

(e)                       the Grantee is participating voluntarily in the Plan;

 

(f)                        VDI Awards and resulting benefits are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and are outside the scope of the Grantee’s employment contract, if any;

 

(g)                       VDI Awards and resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law;

 

(h)                      in the event that the Grantee is not an employee of the Company, this VDI Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this VDI Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any subsidiary of the Company; and

 

(i)                          in consideration of this VDI Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages will arise from termination of this grant or diminution in value of this VDI Award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever) and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Grantee will be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim.

 

Section 10.             CONFIDENTIALITY

NOTIFICATIONS

 

This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange control and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of [DATE].  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because such information may be out-of-date when your VDI Awards vest.

 

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result.  You are therefore advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.

 

Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than that in which you are currently working, the information contained herein may not apply to you.

Notifications

 

Exchange Control Information .  To participate in the Plan, Grantee understands that Grantee must comply with exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.

 

For VDI Awards, because no transfer of funds from South Africa is required, no filing or reporting requirements should apply when the VDI Awards, if any, are granted or upon settlement of the VDI Awards (in Shares).

 

Because the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, Grantee understands that Grantee should consult a legal advisor to ensure compliance with current regulations.  Grantee understands that it is Grantee’s responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor Grantee’s Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

 

SPAIN

 

Terms and Conditions

 

There are no country-specific provisions.

 

Notifications

 

No Special Employment or Similar Rights .  Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and discretionally decided to distribute VDI Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a temporary decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries presently or in the future, other than as specifically set forth in the Plan and the terms and conditions of Grantee’s VDI Award.  Consequently, Grantee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it will not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and will not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Further, Grantee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant.  In addition, Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of awards will be null and void and the Plan will not have any effect whatsoever.

 

Further, the VDI Award provides a conditional right to Shares and may be forfeited or affected by Grantee’s termination of employment, as set forth in the Agreement.  For avoidance of doubt, Grantee’s rights, if any, to the VDI Awards upon termination of employment will be determined as set forth in the Agreement, including, without limitation, where (i) Grantee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (ii) Grantee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (iii) Grantee terminates service due to a change location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; or (iv) Grantee terminates service due to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ unilateral breach of contract.

 

Securities Law Notice .  The VDI Awards granted under the Plan do not qualify as securities under Spanish regulations.  By the grant of VDI Awards, no “offer of securities to the public”, as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in Spanish territory.  The present document and any other document relating to the offer of VDI Awards under the Plan has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and it does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

 

Reporting Requirements .  Grantee is responsible for complying with all reporting requirements applicable to the awards and the underlying Shares, if any.

APPENDIX B

 

Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

 

(a)           It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement will be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

 

(b)           Neither Grantee nor any of Grantee’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under this Agreement to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to Grantee or for Grantee’s benefit under this Agreement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Grantee to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(c)           If, at the time of Grantee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) Grantee is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company will make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement but will instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day after such six-month period or, if earlier, upon the Grantee’s death.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the purpose of this Agreement, (i) if the VDI Award has not previously been forfeited, the VDI Award will vest on a Disability, which means that the Grantee is considered disabled in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(4), determined as if all permissible provisions of such regulation were in effect, and (ii) a Change in Control of the Company is considered to have occurred with respect to the Grantee upon the occurrence with respect to the Grantee of a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

 

(e)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Agreement as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  In any case, Grantee will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Grantee or for Grantee’s account in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Grantee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

EXHIBIT 10.9

 

FORM OF VALUE DRIVER INCENTIVE AWARD AGREEMENT

 

This Value Driver Incentive Award Agreement (“ Agreement ”) entered into as of [GRANT DATE] (the “ Grant Date ”), by and between Fluor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and you (“ Grantee ” or “ you ”) evidences and confirms the following Value Driver Incentive Award (“ VDI Award ”) under the Fluor Corporation Amended & Restated 2008 Executive Performance Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”).  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

Section 1.               AWARD SUBJECT TO PLAN

 

Your VDI Award is made subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, including any terms, rules or determinations made by the Committee, pursuant to its administrative authority under the Plan and such further terms as are set forth in the Plan that are applicable to awards thereunder, including without limitation provisions on adjustment of awards, non-transferability, satisfaction of tax requirements and compliance with other laws.

 

Section 2.               MEASURE DEFINITIONS

 

Your VDI Award performance criteria are comprised of two measures: New Awards Gross Margin Dollars and New Awards Gross Margin Percentage (the “ Performance Targets ”).  New Awards Gross Margin Dollars measures the total amount of project gross margin that the Company expects to receive as a result of projects awarded within the Performance Period described below.  New Awards Gross Margin Percentage is the total amount of gross margin the Company expects to receive as a result of projects awarded within the Performance Period as a percentage of expected revenue from those projects.

 

Section 3.               PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND VALUE OF AWARD

 

Your VDI Award target amount is communicated in your [GRANT YEAR] LTI award letter. This target amount will be adjusted based on the Company’s performance for the [GRANT YEAR] calendar year (the “ Performance Period ”) against the established Performance Targets, which will be measured taking into account any project scope changes or cancellations.  [PERCENTAGE] of the VDI Award performance will be based on New Awards Gross Margin Dollars and [PERCENTAGE] of the VDI Award performance will be based on New Awards Gross Margin Percentage. Specific performance targets are set forth on Exhibit A, which may be attached hereto or sent to you separately at a later date.

 

Section 4.               RETENTION PERIOD AND PAYOUT

 

The period commencing [GRANT DATE] and ending on [THIRD ANNIVERSARY] will be the “ Retention Period ”. Your VDI Award will vest in full on [THIRD ANNIVERSARY] (the “ Vesting Date ”), subject to the continued employment requirements or other exceptions contained in Section 5 below.  Payment of the Award shall be made as soon as practicable after the vesting date, if any, except as provided in Section 5, generally on the same date that other executive incentives are paid, if any, and in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such amount is earned. The VDI Award will be paid in cash. The payment amount will be equal to the target award amount, adjusted for the Company’s performance.

 

Section 5.               CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT

 

Vesting of the VDI Award is conditioned upon you remaining in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries for the Retention Period or satisfying the exceptions described in this Section 5.  You will forfeit your right to receive the VDI Award if it has not become vested prior to your termination of employment for any reason unless (i) your termination is on account of death more than one year from the grant date, (ii) your Disability has occurred more than one year from the grant date, (iii) your termination is in connection with your retirement more than one year from the grant date (where retirement is determined in accordance with applicable Company personnel policies), or (iv) your termination is a Qualifying Termination that occurs within two years after a Change in Control of the Company.

 

If your employment terminates during the Retention Period, but more than one year from the grant date, as a result of retirement (provided you retire and deliver a signed non-competition agreement in a form acceptable to the Company), the VDI Award will continue to vest over the Retention Period and continue to become payable in accordance with its terms on the Vesting Date as described in Section 4, notwithstanding such termination.  Subject to the one year holding period described in this paragraph, if your employment with the Company or its subsidiaries is terminated on account of your death or your Disability, the VDI Award will immediately vest and be paid to you as soon as practicable after such termination (provided that such award has not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions in this Agreement). In the event that you incur a Qualifying Termination within two years after a Change in Control of the Company, the VDI Award will vest and be paid to you at target performance levels as soon as practicable after such termination (provided that such award has not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.)  However, under all circumstances other than your Qualifying Termination that occurs

 

1



 

within two years after a Change in Control, any VDI Award held less than one year from the Grant Date will be forfeited regardless of the reason for termination.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement confers any right of continuing employment with the Company or its subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event your employment is terminated for Cause (as defined herein), regardless of whether you are retirement eligible, you will forfeit your right to receive any unvested VDI Award, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the event of a Change in Control the successor to the Company does not assume this VDI Award, the VDI Award will immediately vest and will be paid at target performance levels as soon as practicable following the Change in Control (provided that the VDI Award has not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5).

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “ Change in Control ” and “ Disability ” mean, respectively, a change in control or your disability determined in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 409A, as set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement.

 

In connection with a Change in Control, the term “ Qualifying Termination ” means your involuntary termination of employment by the Company without Cause or your resignation for Good Reason. For this purpose, “ Cause ” means your dishonesty, fraud, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, conflict of interest, commission of a felony, material failure or refusal to perform your job duties in accordance with Company policies, a material violation of Company policy that causes harm to the Company or its subsidiaries or other wrongful conduct of a similar nature and degree; and “ Good Reason ” means a material diminution of your compensation (including, without limitation, base compensation, annual bonus opportunities, and/or equity incentive compensation opportunities), a material diminution of your authority, duties or responsibilities, a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom you are required to report or a material diminution of the budget over which you retain authority; provided, however, that no later than sixty (60) days after learning of the action (or inaction) described herein as the basis for a termination of employment for Good Reason, you must advise the Company in writing that the action (or inaction) constitutes grounds for a termination of your employment for Good Reason, in which event the Company will have thirty (30) days to correct such action (or inaction) (the “ Cure Period ”) and if such action (or inaction) is timely corrected within the Cure Period, then you will not be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason as a result of such action (or inaction). If such action or inaction is not timely corrected within the Cure Period, then you will be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason at any time within the one-hundred and twenty (120) day period following expiration of the Cure Period.

 

Section 6.               TAX WITHHOLDING

 

Regardless of any action the Company or the Grantee’s employer (the “ Employer ”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“ Tax-Related Items ”), the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of a VDI Award, including the grant and vesting of the VDI Award and/or (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of a VDI Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. The Grantee will pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the Grantee’s receipt of a VDI Award that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Grantee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the VDI Award payment if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee by withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer.

 

Grantee acknowledges and understands that Grantee should consult a tax advisor regarding Grantee’s tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.

 

Section 7.               SEVERABILITY

 

In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement are invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated will be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

 

Section 8.               DATA PROTECTION

 

THE GRANTEE HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE GRANTEE’S PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG, AS APPLICABLE, THE EMPLOYER, AND THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY REQUEST A LIST WITH THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF ANY POTENTIAL RECIPIENTS OF THE DATA BY CONTACTING THE LOCAL HUMAN RESOURCES REPRESENTATIVE. THE GRANTEE AUTHORIZES THE RECIPIENTS TO RECEIVE, POSSESS, USE, RETAIN AND TRANSFER THE DATA, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, FOR THE PURPOSES OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN, INCLUDING ANY REQUISITE TRANSFER OF SUCH DATA, AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO A BROKER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY WITH WHOM THE GRANTEE MAY ELECT TO DEPOSIT SHARES, IF ANY, ACQUIRED UNDER THE PLAN. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT DATA WILL BE HELD ONLY AS LONG AS IS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT, ADMINISTER AND MANAGE PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY, AT ANY TIME, VIEW DATA, REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE STORAGE AND PROCESSING OF THE DATA, REQUIRE ANY NECESSARY AMENDMENTS TO THE DATA OR REFUSE OR WITHDRAW THE CONSENTS HEREIN, IN ANY CASE WITHOUT COST, BY CONTACTING THE LOCAL HUMAN RESOURCES REPRESENTATIVE IN WRITING. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT REFUSING OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT MAY AFFECT THE GRANTEE’S ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF REFUSING TO CONSENT OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT, THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY CONTACT THE STOCK PLAN ADMINISTRATOR AT THE COMPANY.

 

Section 9.               ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND WAIVER

 

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(a)                      the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement;

 

(b)                      the grant of VDI Awards is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of VDI Awards, or benefits in lieu of VDI Awards, even if VDI Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

 

(c)                       all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 

(d)                      the Grantee’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment with Employer and will not interfere with the ability of Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment relationship and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by law;

 

(e)                       the Grantee is participating voluntarily in the Plan;

(g)                       VDI Awards and resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law;

 

(h)                      in the event that the Grantee is not an employee of the Company, this VDI Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this VDI Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any subsidiary of the Company; and

 

(i)                          in consideration of this VDI Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages will arise from termination of this grant or diminution in value of this VDI Award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever) and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Grantee will be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim.

Exchange Control Information .  To participate in the Plan, Grantee understands that Grantee must comply with exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.

 

For VDI Awards, because no transfer of funds from South Africa is required, no filing or reporting requirements should apply when the VDI Awards, if any, are granted or upon settlement of the VDI Awards (in Shares).

 

Because the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, Grantee understands that Grantee should consult a legal advisor to ensure compliance with current regulations.  Grantee understands that it is Grantee’s responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor Grantee’s Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

No Special Employment or Similar Rights .  Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and discretionally decided to distribute VDI Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a temporary decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries presently or in the future, other than as specifically set forth in the Plan and the terms and conditions of Grantee’s VDI Award.  Consequently, Grantee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it will not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and will not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Further, Grantee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant.  In addition, Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of awards will be null and void and the Plan will not have any effect whatsoever.

 

Further, the VDI Award provides a conditional right to Shares and may be forfeited or affected by Grantee’s termination of employment, as set forth in the Agreement.  For avoidance of doubt, Grantee’s rights, if any, to the VDI Awards upon termination of employment will be determined as set forth in the Agreement, including, without limitation, where (i) Grantee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (ii) Grantee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (iii) Grantee terminates service due to a change location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; or (iv) Grantee terminates service due to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ unilateral breach of contract.

 

Securities Law Notice .  The VDI Awards granted under the Plan do not qualify as securities under Spanish regulations.  By the grant of VDI Awards, no “offer of securities to the public”, as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in Spanish territory.  The present document and any other document relating to the offer of VDI Awards under the Plan has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and it does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

 

Reporting Requirements .  Grantee is responsible for complying with all reporting requirements applicable to the awards and the underlying Shares, if any.

APPENDIX B

 

Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

 

(a)           It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement will be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

 

(b)           Neither Grantee nor any of Grantee’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under this Agreement to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to Grantee or for Grantee’s benefit under this Agreement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Grantee to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(c)           If, at the time of Grantee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) Grantee is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company will make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement but will instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day after such six-month period or, if earlier, upon the Grantee’s death.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the purpose of this Agreement, (i) if the VDI Award has not previously been forfeited, the VDI Award will vest on a Disability, which means that the Grantee is considered disabled in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(4), determined as if all permissible provisions of such regulation were in effect, and (ii) a Change in Control of the Company is considered to have occurred with respect to the Grantee upon the occurrence with respect to the Grantee of a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

 

(e)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Agreement as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  In any case, Grantee will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Grantee or for Grantee’s account in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Grantee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“ Agreement ”) entered into as of [GRANT DATE] (the “ Grant Date ”), by and between Fluor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and you (“ Grantee ” or “ you ”) evidences the grant to Grantee of a Stock Unit Award (“ RSU Award ”) under the Fluor Corporation Amended & Restated 2008 Executive Performance Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”).  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

Section 3.                                           RESTRICTIONS ON SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER

 

Each RSU awarded to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company and each RSU may not be sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to the following provisions:

 

(a)                                  The RSUs shall be held in book entry form by the Company until (1) the restrictions set forth herein lapse in accordance with the provisions of Section 4, at which time the RSUs will be converted to Shares, or (2) the RSUs are forfeited pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof.

 

(b)                                  No such RSUs may be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated so long as such RSUs are subject to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement.

 

(c)                                   Upon your termination of employment with the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason other than those which result in a lapse of restrictions pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), then any RSUs as to which the foregoing restrictions have yet to lapse pursuant to Section 4 shall be forfeited by you.

 

Section 4.                                           LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS 1

 

(a)                                  The restrictions set forth in Section 3 hereof shall lapse (provided that such RSUs have not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof) with respect to the number of RSUs determined as specified below upon the occurrence of any of the following events (any such event, a “ Vest Date ”):

 

(1)                                  The RSUs subject to this RSU Award shall vest and restrictions thereon shall lapse at a rate of one third of such number per year on March 6 th  of each year, commencing with March 6 th , [FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF GRANT YEAR] and annually thereafter ending with March 6 th , [THREE YEARS FROM GRANT YEAR], provided that Grantee’s employment with the Company has not terminated on or before such date or the exceptions set forth in Sections 4(a)(2) or (3) are met.

3(c) hereof) as set forth in Section 4(a)(1) hereof with respect to all RSUs which remain restricted, if the Grantee retires and delivers a signed non-competition agreement in a form acceptable to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and regardless of reason for termination, under all circumstances other than your Qualifying Termination within two (2) years following a Change in Control, any RSUs held less than one year from the Grant Date will be forfeited upon termination of employment prior to the date set forth in Section 4(a)(1) hereof.  Nothing in the Plan or this RSU Award confers any right of continuing employment with the Company or its subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event your employment is terminated for Cause (as defined herein), regardless of whether you are retirement eligible, you will forfeit your right to receive any unvested RSUs, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

 

(3)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 3 hereof shall lapse immediately (provided that such RSUs have not previously been forfeited pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof) with respect to all RSUs which remain subject to the foregoing restrictions, if in the event of a Change of Control the successor to the Company does not assume this RSU Award.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “ Retirement ” shall mean your retirement as determined in accordance with applicable Company personnel policies and the Plan policies.  “Disability” and “Change of Control” shall have the meanings given to them in Appendix B to this Agreement.  In connection with a Change in Control, the term “ Qualifying Termination ” means your involuntary termination of employment by the Company without Cause or your resignation for Good Reason.  For this purpose, “ Cause ” means your dishonesty, fraud, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, conflict of interest, commission of a felony, material failure or refusal to perform your job duties in accordance with Company policies, a material violation of Company policy that causes harm to the Company or its subsidiaries or other wrongful conduct of a similar nature and degree and “ Good Reason ” means a material diminution of your compensation (including, without limitation, base compensation, annual bonus opportunities, and/or equity incentive compensation opportunities), a material diminution of your authority, duties or responsibilities, a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom you are required to report or a material diminution of the budget over which you retain authority; provided, however, that no later than sixty (60) days after learning of the action (or inaction) described herein as the basis for a termination of employment for Good Reason, you must advise the Company in writing that the action (or inaction) constitutes grounds for a termination of your employment for Good Reason, in which event the Company will have thirty (30) days to correct such action (or inaction) (the “ Cure Period ”) and if such action (or inaction) is timely corrected within the Cure Period, then you will not be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason as a result of such action (or inaction). If such action or inaction is not timely corrected within the Cure Period, then you will be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason at any time within the one-hundred and twenty (120) day period following expiration of the Cure Period.

 

(b)                                  Grantee may not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares issued pursuant to this award until three (3) years after the vesting of the underlying award (“Post-Vesting Holding Period”).  During the Post-Vesting Holding Period, Awardee will be able to vote the Shares and receive any dividends issued, if any, and the Shares must remain with the Company designated broker until the three (3) year period has run. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these restrictions shall immediately lapse upon grantee’s death.

 

(c)                                   No RSUs shall be vested and converted to Shares and delivered to the Grantee or Grantee’s legal representative as herein above provided unless and until the statutory amount of federal, state, non U.S. or local tax withholding or other employment tax obligations the Company determines is or may be required under applicable tax laws or regulations in connection with the taxable income resulting from the lapse of the restrictions set forth in Section 3 (the “ Tax Withholding Obligation ”) has been withheld or paid pursuant to Section 5.

 

Section 5.                                           TAX WITHHOLDING

 

Regardless of any action the Company or the Grantee’s employer (the “Employer” ) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ( “Tax-Related Items” ), the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of RSUs, including the grant and vesting of RSUs, subsequent delivery of Shares and/or cash related to such RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to such RSUs and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. The Grantee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the Grantee’s receipt of RSUs or of Shares pursuant to RSUs that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Grantee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

2



 

Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee by (1) withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below), (2) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Administrator.  The “ Retained Share Amount ” shall mean a number of Shares equal to the quotient of the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the RSUs on the relevant date, divided by the fair market value of one Share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, the Grantee understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the settled RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the RSUs.

 

Grantee acknowledges and understands that Grantee should consult a tax advisor regarding Grantee’s tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.

 

Section 6.                                           SEVERABILITY

 

In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

 

Section 7.                                           DATA PROTECTION

 

THE GRANTEE HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE GRANTEE’S PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG, AS APPLICABLE, THE EMPLOYER, AND THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY REQUEST A LIST WITH THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF ANY POTENTIAL RECIPIENTS OF THE DATA BY CONTACTING THE LOCAL HUMAN RESOURCES REPRESENTATIVE. THE GRANTEE AUTHORIZES THE RECIPIENTS TO RECEIVE, POSSESS, USE, RETAIN AND TRANSFER THE DATA, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, FOR THE PURPOSES OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN, INCLUDING ANY REQUISITE TRANSFER OF SUCH DATA, AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO A BROKER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY WITH WHOM THE GRANTEE MAY ELECT TO DEPOSIT ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UNDER THE PLAN. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT DATA WILL BE HELD ONLY AS LONG AS IS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT, ADMINISTER AND MANAGE PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY, AT ANY TIME, VIEW DATA, REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE STORAGE AND PROCESSING OF THE DATA, REQUIRE ANY NECESSARY AMENDMENTS TO THE DATA OR REFUSE OR WITHDRAW THE CONSENTS HEREIN, IN ANY CASE WITHOUT COST, BY CONTACTING THE LOCAL HUMAN RESOURCES REPRESENTATIVE IN WRITING. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT REFUSING OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT MAY AFFECT THE GRANTEE’S ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF REFUSING TO CONSENT OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT, THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE/SHE MAY CONTACT THE STOCK PLAN ADMINISTRATOR AT THE COMPANY.

By accepting this grant of RSUs, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(a)                                  the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement;

 

(b)                                  the grant of RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Shares or RSUs, or benefits in lieu of Shares or RSUs, even if Shares or RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;

 

(c)                                   all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(e)                                   the Grantee is participating voluntarily in the Plan;

Insider-Trading Notification .  Grantees should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSU.  In particular, Grantees may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions involving Shares if they have inside information about the Company.  Grantees should consult their personal legal advisor if they are uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to them.  By accepting the Agreement and participating in the Plan, Grantee acknowledges having read and understood this notification and acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with the Dutch insider-trading rules.

 

RUSSIA

 

Terms and Conditions

 

Securities Law Information .  Grantee acknowledges that the Agreement, the grant of RSUs, the Plan and all other materials Grantee may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia.  The issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia and therefore, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.

 

Grantee further acknowledges that in no event will Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs be delivered to Grantee in Russia; all Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs will be maintained on Grantee’s behalf in the United States.

 

Grantee  acknowledges that Grantee is not permitted to sell Shares directly to a Russian legal entity or resident.

 

Notifications

 

Grantee understands that Grantee is solely liable for all applicable Russian exchange control requirements (including repatriation requirements applicable to the proceeds from the sale of Shares).

 

SOUTH AFRICA

 

Terms and Conditions

 

There are no country-specific provisions.

 

Notifications

 

Exchange Control Information .  To participate in the Plan, Grantee understands that Grantee must comply with exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.

 

For RSUs, because no transfer of funds from South Africa is required, no filing or reporting requirements should apply when the RSUs, if any, are granted or when shares are issued upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs.

 

Because the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, Grantee understands that Grantee should consult a legal advisor prior to the purchase or sale of shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.  Grantee understands that it is Grantee’s responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor Grantee’s Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

No Special Employment or Similar Rights .  Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and discretionally decided to distribute awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a temporary decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries presently or in the future, other than as specifically set forth in the Plan and the terms and conditions of Grantee’s RSU grant.  Consequently, Grantee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Further, Grantee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the awards and underlying shares is unknown and unpredictable.  In addition, Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of awards shall be null and void and the Plan shall not have any effect whatsoever.

 

Further, the RSU Award provides a conditional right to Shares and may be forfeited or affected by Grantee’s termination of employment, as set forth in the Agreement.  For avoidance of doubt, Grantee’s rights, if any, to the RSUs upon termination of employment shall be determined as set forth in the Agreement, including, without limitation, where (i) Grantee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (ii) Grantee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (iii) Grantee terminates service due to a change location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; or (iv) Grantee terminates service due to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ unilateral breach of contract.

 

Securities Law Notice .  The RSUs granted under the Plan do not qualify as securities under Spanish regulations.  By the grant of RSUs, no “offer of securities to the public”, as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in Spanish territory.  The present document and any other document relating to the offer of RSUs under the Plan has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and it does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

 

Reporting Requirements .  Grantee is responsible for complying with all reporting requirements applicable to holding the RSUs and the underlying Shares.

 

UNITED KINGDOM

 

Terms and Conditions

 

UK Rules . The RSU Award is granted under the “UK Rules,” which contain additional terms and conditions that govern the RSU Award.  Grantees should review the UK Rules carefully.

APPENDIX B

 

Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

 

(a)                                  It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

 

(b)                                  Neither Grantee nor any of Grantee’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under this Agreement to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to Grantee or for Grantee’s benefit under this Agreement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Grantee to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(c)                                   If, at the time of Grantee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) Grantee is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day after such six-month period or, if earlier, upon the Grantee’s death.

 

(d)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the purpose of this Agreement, (i) if the RSUs have not previously been forfeited, the RSUs shall vest on a Disability, which shall mean that the Grantee is considered disabled in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(4), determined as if all permissible provisions of such regulation were in effect, and (ii) a Change of Control of the Company is considered to have occurred with respect to the Grantee upon the occurrence with respect to the Grantee of a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

 

(e)                                   Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Agreement as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  In any case, Grantee shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Grantee or for Grantee’s account in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Grantee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
