ITEM 5.02                      Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers


On March 6, 2013, KBR announced that Andrew Summers will join the Company in early April as Group President, Infrastructure, Government and Power.  Mr. Summers will receive a salary of $600,000, prorated to his date of employment and will be granted a signing bonus of $500,000 cash (paid in three installments over a year’s time), 23,400 restricted stock units valued at approximately $700,000 and 34,700 non-qualified stock options valued at approximately $400,000.  Mr. Summers also will be eligible to participate in the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended, including the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan adopted thereunder, and all other compensation and benefit plans available to KBR senior executives.  These plans are described in KBR’s proxy statement for its 2012 annual meeting of stockholders filed on April 5, 2012, and  are listed as exhibits to KBR’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Mr. Summers also entered into a severance and change in control agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.  The following summary of the terms of the form agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1. The agreement terminates automatically on the earlier of (i) Mr. Summers’ termination of employment with KBR and its affiliates or (ii) in the event of a change in control during the term of the agreement, two years following the change in control.  The agreement provides for (i) severance termination benefits (prior to a change in control), (ii) double-trigger change in control termination benefits (on or after a change in control), and (iii) death, disability, and retirement benefits.  As a condition of receipt of these benefits (other than the death and disability benefits), Mr. Summers must first execute a release and full settlement agreement.  The agreement contains customary confidentiality, noncompetition, and nonsolicitation covenants, as well as a mandatory arbitration provision.  In addition, the agreement contains a clawback provision that allows KBR to recover any benefits paid under the agreement if KBR determines within two years after Mr. Summers’ termination of employment that his employment could have been terminated for cause.
