Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously reported, Mr. Alan L. Boeckmann retired as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Fluor Corporation (the “Corporation”) effective as of the date of the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) that was held on May 5, 2022.
On May 5, 2022, in recognition of Mr. Boeckmann’s vital contributions to the Corporation during his recent tenure as Executive Chairman, the Board determined that (1) Mr. Boeckmann had fulfilled the objectives requested by the Board when he rejoined the Corporation in 2019, (2) he would not be required to serve out the remaining six months of the three-year retention period set forth in his retention agreement dated November 26, 2019, and (3) he would receive the full amount of $1,750,000 set forth in the retention agreement upon his retirement. In making its decision, the Board took into account Mr. Boeckmann’s significant contributions, including his active support of the merger of NuScale Power LLC (“NuScale”) with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. completed in May 2022 and the investment by Japan Bank for International Cooperation into NuScale in April 2022, leading the Board in the recruitment of four new directors and the appointment of the Corporation’s current Chief Executive Officer and management team, supporting the development of the Corporation’s new corporate strategy and overseeing a number of other strategic and operational initiatives. The Board also considered that Mr. Boeckmann’s decision to not stand for reelection and his retirement as of the Annual Meeting date was at the most appropriate time to ensure a smooth transition to the Board’s new Chairman.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On May 5, 2022, at the Annual Meeting, the Corporation’s stockholders (i) elected Alan M. Bennett, Rosemary T. Berkery, David E. Constable, H. Paulett Eberhart, James T. Hackett, Thomas C. Leppert, Teri P. McClure, Armando J. Olivera and Matthew K. Rose to the Board to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (ii) approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Corporation’s named executive officers, as described in the 2022 Proxy Statement, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022 (the “2022 Proxy Statement”); and (iii) ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.
