Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On June 15, 2007, the Board of Directors of Fluor Corporation elected Ilesanmi Adesida and Peter K. Barker to the Board of Directors, effective as of June 15, 2007, to fill the newly created directorships resulting from the increase in the authorized number of directors under the amendment to Section 3.02 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Fluor Corporation.
Mr. Ilesanmi Adesida was elected as a Class III director, and Mr. Peter K. Barker was elected as a Class I director. Mr. Adesida has been appointed as a member of the Governance and Organization and Compensation Committees of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Barker has been appointed as a member of the Audit and Organization and Compensation Committees of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. Adesida and Mr. Barker are independent of Fluor Corporation and its management under New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the standards set forth in the Fluor Corporation Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Mr. Adesida and Mr. Barker will receive the standard compensation amounts payable to non-employee directors of the Company, as described in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Commission on March 7, 2007, although the annual cash retainer shall be pro rated so that Mr. Adesida and Mr. Barker receive quarterly payments for only those quarters in which they attend any Board meeting. Such compensation includes an initial grant of 1,500 restricted shares and 1,000 restricted units under the Companys 2000 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Restricted units are payable in cash to assist in satisfying related income tax liabilities. Restrictions lapse and units become immediately earned and payable with respect to 20% of the award on the date of grant and then subsequently vest at a rate of 20% per year on each anniversary of that date.
A copy of Fluor Corporations June 15, 2007 press release announcing the election of the two new directors is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
