(NYSE: KBR) announced today that the Company has received a Waiver of Compliance under its Five Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 2, 2011, for certain representations, warranties and covenants of the Credit Agreement. The Waiver relates to certain defaults that were triggered, or might have been triggered, from KBR’s May 5, 2014 announcement that it intends to restate its year ended December 31, 2013 financial statements, and from the timing and delivery of financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and related documents, due to delays caused by the pending restatement.
