Also on April 9, 2007, outstanding awards under Halliburton’s Dresser Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan previously granted to KBR employees, consisting in part of units denominated in shares of Halliburton common stock, were converted into awards under the KBR Dresser Deferred Compensation Plan (the “KBR Dresser Plan”), consisting in part of units denominated in shares of KBR common stock. On an as converted basis, John L. Rose’s units denominated in shares of KBR common stock equaled approximately 38,934 shares of KBR common stock. Please read “Adoption of Certain Compensation Plans and Arrangements—KBR Dresser Plan—Payout Options” for more information on the payment of benefits under the KBR Dresser Plan.
Adoption of Certain Compensation Plans and Arrangements.On April 13, 2007, the board of directors of KBR adopted the KBR Dresser Plan, the KBR Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “KBR SERP”), the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan (the “KBR BRP”) and the KBR Elective Deferral Plan (the “KBR EDP”), effective as of April 5, 2007. These plans were adopted to preserve the material terms of similar Halliburton plans in which KBR employees participated before the separation of KBR and Halliburton.
KBR Dresser Plan
General.The KBR Dresser Plan governs both cash benefits and benefits denominated in KBR common stock provided to three former employees of Dresser Industries, Inc. who are now employees of KBR. The KBR Dresser Plan is a “frozen” plan, meaning that there are no new participants going forward and no additional deferrals credited to any existing participants. The KBR Dresser Plan is a continuation of the benefits provided under the Dresser Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, as previously administered by Halliburton. All amounts payable under the KBR Dresser Plan are fully vested.
Benefits. Participants in the KBR Dresser Plan have accounts credited with cash and/or units denominated in shares of KBR common stock. The cash portion of a participant’s benefit is credited annually with interest based on the annual savings account rate at a major bank, as designated by the KBR Dresser Plan’s administrative committee. If dividends are paid on KBR common stock, the participant’s unit account is increased by
the whole number of units of KBR common stock that could be purchased, at the applicable discount, by a dividend equivalent amount as described in the plan. The applicable discount for crediting additional units is determined by the compensation committee, subject to a maximum discount of twenty-five percent.
Payout Options. Payment of benefits under the KBR Dresser Plan are made in cash, KBR common stock or both, as applicable. Upon a participant’s termination of employment, each participant has the option to receive the benefits provided under the KBR Dresser Plan in equal annual installments over five, ten, fifteen or twenty years. Such election must be made prior to each participant’s respective termination. Regardless of such election, the KBR Dresser Plan’s administrative committee may, in its discretion, direct full payment of a participant’s benefits as soon as administratively feasible after termination of employment if the participant’s benefits payable under the KBR Dresser Plan total $50,000 or less.
The foregoing description of the KBR Dresser Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is filed as Exhibit 4.5 to KBR’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on April 13, 2007 and incorporated herein by reference.
KBR SERP
General.The KBR SERP governs cash benefits provided to certain selected salaried officers and senior executives of KBR. The compensation committee of the board of directors of KBR, in its discretion, determines the participants in the plan. Under the terms of the KBR SERP, KBR will provide benefits to its employees similar to those previously provided under the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Halliburton SERP”), as previously administered by Halliburton. Amounts awarded under the plan may be credited to existing participants and/or new participants. All amounts granted prior to 2005 are fully vested under the KBR SERP. Any amounts granted in 2005 or later will fully vest upon five consecutive years of participation in the KBR SERP, including any participation in the Halliburton SERP, measured from the date such participant first became a participant in the Halliburton SERP or KBR SERP, as applicable.
Benefits. Each participant in the KBR SERP is awarded credits denominated in cash to an account balance. The compensation committee, in its discretion, determines the amount that is credited to each participant’s account. The account balance is credited with interest at a five percent (5%) rate during the period before a participant’s termination of employment, and at a ten percent (10%) rate after such termination and until actual payout.
Payout. As soon as administratively practicable upon a participant’s termination of employment, all amounts payable to such participant are payable in a single lump sum cash payment. Such payment shall only be delayed if necessary to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and relevant guidance thereunder.
The foregoing description of the KBR SERP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
KBR BRP
The KBR BRP is a continuation of the benefits provided under the Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan, as previously administered by Halliburton. The KBR BRP exists to provide a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits that are reduced as a result of limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or due to participation in other KBR sponsored plans. It also serves to defer compensation that would otherwise be treated as excessive employee remuneration within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The KBR BRP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that earns interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
The foregoing description of the KBR BRP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference.
KBR EDP
The KBR EDP is a continuation of the benefits provided under the Halliburton Elective Deferral Plan (the “Halliburton EDP”), as previously administered by Halliburton. The KBR EDP provides highly compensated employees with an opportunity to defer earned base salary and incentive compensation in order to help meet retirement and other future income needs. KBR employees that were participants in the Halliburton EDP or are selected by the KBR EDP’s administrative committee, in its discretion, are eligible to participate in the KBR EDP. The KBR EDP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Participation in the KBR EDP is voluntary.
The foregoing description of the KBR EDP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and incorporated herein by reference.
