Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure

On October 24, 2016, Tutor Perini Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it intends to offer, subject to market and other customary conditions, $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2024 (the “notes”) in a private offering. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering, together with borrowings under a new revolving credit facility, to redeem all of its outstanding 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), to pay off its existing term loan and existing revolver and to pay related transaction fees and expenses.

The Company intends to redeem all of the outstanding 2018 Notes pursuant to the indenture governing the 2018 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or $1,000 per $1,000 in principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The notes and related guarantees are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or, outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the notes and related guarantees in any state in which such officer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
