(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As described in Item 5.07 below, at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of KBR, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Stock and Incentive Plan”). On March 17, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) recommended to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) that it approve the amendment and restatement of the Stock and Incentive Plan, and on March 17, 2021, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the Stock and Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company on May 19, 2021. The effective date of the amended and restated Stock and Incentive Plan is May 19, 2021. The Stock and Incentive Plan was last amended and approved by stockholders at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Stock and Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is comprised of independent directors. The Stock and Incentive Plan authorizes the following types of awards to be made to employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and non-employee members of the Board, as designated by the Compensation Committee: (1) stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock awards, (4) restricted stock unit awards, (5) performance awards, and (6) stock value equivalent awards.

The following is a summary of the material changes that are contained in the amended and restated Stock and Incentive Plan as compared to the plan as it existed prior to such amendment and restatement.

(i) Increase the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Stock and Incentive Plan (including as awards of incentive stock options) by 7,000,000 shares from 16,400,000 to 23,400,000.

(ii) Increase the sublimit on the number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the Stock and Incentive Plan in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock value equivalent awards, or pursuant to performance awards denominated in common stock by 7,000,000 from 9,900,000 to 16,900,000.

(iii) Extend the term of the Stock and Incentive Plan from May 12, 2026 to May 19, 2031.

(iv) The new name of the Stock and Incentive Plan will be the “Amended and Restated KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan.”

Additional details of the Stock and Incentive Plan are included in the Company’s 2021 Proxy Statement under the heading “Proposal No. 4 ― Approve the Amended and Restated KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan.” The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended and Restated KBR, Inc. Stock and Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
