TO OUR PEOPLE, FOR MAKING ANYTHING POSSIBLE 2020 NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT

 
 

STUART J. B. BRADIE President and Chief Executive Officer March 30, 2020 Dear KBR, Inc. Stockholders, As I write this letter to you for our Proxy Statement, the world is in the middle of a global health crisis. The COVID-19 outbreak is an unprecedented event, and although this is a time of significant uncertainty we are taking actions to support our people, their families and our customers. With operations in China and South Korea we had an early warning of the potential impact of the virus, and this allowed us to plan ahead and stress test our operations for remote working. I am humbled by the amazing efforts of our people around the globe who have pulled together, shared ideas and implemented best practices to continue to provide world-class service for our customers while also protecting their well-being and the health and safety of their colleagues. It is this can-do, people-centric and forward-thinking culture that makes KBR a great company to be part of. It is thus a great honor to share with you this special Proxy Statement, which marks the 100-year anniversary of our company, and to dedicate it to the people who made it possible — our incredible employees. It is remarkable to think of all they have accomplished throughout KBR’s history, beginning in the earliest days, when they worked with teams of wagons and mules to pave rural roads, to today, when they are helping NASA return to the moon and discover life beyond Earth. Over the past 100 years, KBR has grown into an innovative and dynamic global company, and I am proud to be a part of this journey. KBR experienced its third consecutive year of stellar results and growth momentum in 2019. We exceeded all our financial targets, resulting in increased stockholder return. Each business segment achieved double-digit growth and secured continued growth with their book-to-bill of >1. Our focus on cash management resulted in a record net income-to-cash conversion of 127%. Our strategy continues to be guided by our approach to winning the right work and focus on execution, which translated to high recompetes and business win rates last year. While we continue on this path, we are increasing our focus on managing our business responsibly. Without question, human capital is our highest priority. When I started at KBR almost six years ago, I focused on safety first. Since 2014, we have seen a true culture change that has resulted in a 70% overall improvement of our Total Recordable Incident Rate through the end of 2019. We have also made sustainability a top priority. Not only is it good for business, it’s also the right thing to do as good corporate citizens. Additionally, by innovating and commercializing clean, efficient technology solutions, we enable our customers to achieve their own sustainability goals. To drive these efforts, we formed a global sustainability committee this past year tasked with aligning our current sustainability practices and establishing a company-wide policy with measurable goals for improving both our environmental and social impact. We also appointed an inclusion and diversity lead who is spearheading KBR’s efforts to promote a more respectful, inspiring and innovative work environment for every employee. A diversity of voices, backgrounds, identities and ideas is essential for executing KBR’s long-term strategy. And I am pleased to welcome our newest member, Ms. Lynn Dugle, who brings 36 years of technology government and space industry expertise to KBR. Lynn was recognized as a Wash100 honoree in 2017 and 2018 for being one of the most influential leaders in government contracting. In 2019, she received the Washington Business Journal’s Lifetime Achievement Award and was named to their distinguished “Women Who Mean Business” list. Lynn received the 2015 Diversity in Technology award, was recognized as one of the Top 100 Women in STEM in 2012 and was named one of the Women Worth Watching in 2017 by the Profiles in Diversity Journal. Our performance this past year reflects KBR’s strong position in its markets. We believe that open and transparent communication with our stockholders and other stakeholders is a cornerstone of our corporate governance practices. We value your views and encourage you to vote. You can vote promptly by telephone, via internet or by mailing your completed signed voting card. On behalf of our Board of Directors I thank you for being a KBR stockholder and your continued support. Sincerely,

Proxy Summary Proposal No. 2 — Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation Our compensation program links pay to performance to align our senior executives’ interests with that of our stockholders. Consistent with our business strategy, we ensured our senior executives’ individual Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) focused on growth and expansion while reducing cost and increasing efficiencies and cash flow performance. To achieve this, we set rigorous targets for 2019 for both KBR short-term and long-term incentive plans. Compensation Highlights STRONG LINK BETWEEN PAY AND PERFORMANCE To emphasize the link between pay and Company performance, our Compensation Committee made changes in 2017 to the metrics of our STI award plan. These metrics remained a strong reflection of our pay for performance strategy this year. The changes were: • The increase of our EPS metric weighting from 25% to 40%. • Decrease of the individual Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) weighting from 45% to 30%. • Addition of more financially measurable metrics to our NEOs’ and other senior executives’ KPIs. • CEO’s KPIs being based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets. Additionally, in 2019, our CEO’s KPIs included a backlog target for our Energy Solutions business segment. LISTENING TO STOCKHOLDERS’ FEEDBACK In response to our stockholders’ comments regarding making our Executive Compensation program more heavily weighted on stock than cash, our Compensation Committee: • Amended our 2020 Cash Performance Awards payable under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan with respect to our senior executives to settle in stock rather than in cash for the 50% portion that is based on relative TSR. The increase in stock-settled awards provides a larger stake in the long-term financial success of the Company that is aligned with stockholder interests. DOWNWARD DISCRETION APPLIED TO SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD PAYOUTS Due to a deficiency in our internal controls within a newly implemented ERP system in our Government Solutions business segment during the second quarter of the year, our Compensation Committee: • Applied downward discretion of 10% to the 2019 short-term incentive award earned by our NEOs involved with internal controls over financial reporting and responsible for corporate operations. While this deficiency did not result in a material misstatement in our financial statements for any period in 2019, and while the deficiency was fully remediated in the third quarter of 2019, our Compensation Committee applied negative discretion due to the importance of maintaining a strong internal controls environment. CEO RECEIVED HIS SECOND PAY INCREASE DURING HIS 5-YEAR TENURE Aligned with our rigorous Executive Compensation program, our CEO’s base salary has increased only twice since he was appointed in 2014 to reward him for his demonstrated success to: • Position KBR for long-term growth by aligning and expanding our businesses. • Increase Company performance and stockholder value. • Drive cultural change to emphasize the importance of our people, their safety and inclusion in advancing KBR. The charts on the next page depict the alignment of our CEO’s pay with Company performance during his five-year tenure with KBR. 2020 Proxy Statement 11

Corporate Governance Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors At our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, nine directors are to be elected to hold office until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All directors are elected annually, with each nominee standing for election to a one-year term. The members of our Board of Directors hold office until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. The size of our Board of Directors is currently set at nine members. Each nominee has indicated his or her willingness to serve, if elected. If any of the nominees declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as we may designate. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected. If a quorum is present, the nominees for director receiving the majority of votes will be elected directors. Our Board A top priority of our Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is ensuring that our Board of Directors is composed of directors who bring a variety of skills relevant to our business, provide expertise that is useful to KBR and complementary to the background and experience of other Board members, and effectively represent the long-term interests of our stockholders.

Corporate Governance Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors For additional information regarding the qualifications our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board consider in the nomination process, see “Corporate Governance — Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee — Qualifications of Directors.” The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of all the director nominees listed below. Properly dated and signed proxies, and proxies properly submitted over the Internet and by telephone, will be so voted unless stockholders specify otherwise. Directors are elected by a majority of votes cast (the number of shares voted “For” a candidate must exceed the number of shares voted “Against” the candidate). Shares present but not voting on the election of directors will be disregarded, except for quorum purposes, and will have no effect on the election of directors. The following biographical information is furnished with respect to each of the director nominees for election at the meeting. The information includes age as of March 20, 2020, present position, if any, with KBR, period served as director, and other business experience during at least the past five years. Process for Selecting New Directors The Board has delegated to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee the duty of selecting and recommending prospective nominees to the Board for approval. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers suggestions of candidates made by current committee and Board members, KBR management, and stockholders. Each of the nominees for director at this meeting is an incumbent director recommended by the non-executive directors. The committee may also retain an independent executive search firm to identify candidates for consideration.

F Corporate Governance Board and Governance Structure Board and Governance Structure We are committed to good corporate governance and to effective communication with our stockholders. This section describes our governance policies and practices, and the roles, duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors and each of its committees. See “Corporate Governance Materials” below if you want to know how to find our policies, practices, and committee charters. Role of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors represents the interests of our stockholders in maintaining a successful business. Specifically, the Board of Directors oversees the effectiveness of management’s policies and decisions, including the execution of its strategies, with a commitment to enhancing stockholder value over the long term. To Our Board Leadership Structure Our Board is led by a Chairman of the Board who is recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and appointed by the full Board. KBR’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the Chairman, if that individual is independent, to perform a strong role in Board leadership. In particular, an independent (or non-executive) Chairman of the Board is responsible for: • presiding at executive sessions of the non-executive directors at each regular Board meeting and setting the agenda for these sessions; • approving meeting agendas for each regular Board and committee meeting and approving the information to be sent to the directors with respect to each meeting; • presiding at the executive session of the Board to evaluate the performance of our CEO; and • communicating to the CEO, after approval by our Compensation Committee, the CEO’s evaluation and compensation for the next full year and the results of the Board’s review and approval of management succession plans and development programs. If the Chairman of the Board is not independent, the Board elects an Independent Lead Director. this end, Board members are expected to act in the best interests of all stockholders, to be knowledgeable about our businesses, to exercise informed and independent judgment, and to understand general economic trends and conditions, as well as trends in corporate governance. General Lester Lyles has served as non-executive Chairman of the Board since May 15, 2019. General Lyles has significant board experience, both at KBR and at other public companies. He has served on every one of our standing Board committees, and has in-depth knowledge of KBR’s history and current business. During General Lyles’s service on the Board, KBR has undergone significant changes, including reorganization into more strategically-aligned business groups and evolution from a wholly-owned subsidiary with significant support from its former parent company into an independent operating company. The Board believes that General Lyles is well positioned to facilitate communications between the Board of Directors and stockholders. Our CEO is responsible to the Board for the overall management and functioning of the Company. KBR’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for two important checks on the CEO’s authority: • The CEO may not serve on any Board committees, and • The CEO’s performance evaluation includes a review of how well he keeps the Board informed on matters affecting the Company and its operating units. KBR’s Board of Directors has determined that its current leadership structure is appropriate at this time. __c 24 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

Corporate Governance Committees of the Board Committees of the Board KBR’s bylaws authorize the Board of Directors to appoint such committees as it deems advisable, with each committee having the authority to perform the duties assigned by the Board. A substantial portion of the analysis and work of KBR’s Board is done by its four standing committees: the Audit Committee; the Compensation Committee; the Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Social Responsibility Committee; and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of the standing committees is composed entirely of independent directors. The composition of the four committees appears below. Audit Committee Compensation Committee Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Social Responsibility Committee Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee James R. Blackwell Lester L. Lyles Wendy M. Masiello |r|r| Jack B. Moore Umberto della Sala Chairman of the Board Chairperson Member Financial Expert The Board of Directors has approved charters for each of the standing committees that set forth the committees’ respective duties and responsibilities and govern the committees’ actions. These charters are available on KBR’s website, www.kbr.com, by choosing “Our Company” under the “About Us” menu, then selecting “Corporate Governance” and “Board Committees.” Each committee reviews its charter annually and recommends changes, as necessary, to the Board. The composition, purpose, duties, and responsibilities of each committee are summarized below. AUDIT COMMITTEE Members: The Audit Committee: Mr. Baldwin (Chair) Ms. Dugle Lt. General Masiello Ms. Pickard • reviews and reports to the Board of Directors the scope and results of audits by our principal independent public accountants and our internal auditors, • reviews with the principal independent public accountants the effectiveness of our system of internal controls as well as critical audit matters, • reviews transactions between us and our directors and officers, our policies regarding those transactions, Meetings in 2019: ten and compliance with our Code of Business Conduct, • engages our principal independent registered public accounting firm for each fiscal year, Attendance: 100% • reviews the audit and other professional services rendered by our principal independent registered public accounting firm, and Audit Committee Report: • periodically reviews the independence of our principal independent registered public accounting firm.

F Corporate Governance Director Independence Management Succession Planning Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board’s obligation to ensure effective governance includes reviewing executive succession plans and management development programs. To that end, the Board of Directors, with input from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Chairman of the Board, and the CEO, regularly reviews KBR’s succession plan and management development programs for all senior management positions. Issues relating to CEO succession planning are also addressed regularly, and no less than annually, by the entire Board. This process is led by the non-executive Chairman of the Board. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee performs the initial review of the succession plans and makes recommendations to the Board as necessary, the entire Board has primary responsibility for CEO succession planning, and develops both Director Independence A director is considered independent if he or she is not involved in any material relationships with KBR, either directly or indirectly. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth specific independence standards that are consistent with the requirements of the SEC and NYSE. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are publicly available as described below under “Corporate Governance Materials.” The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews KBR’s definition of independence and compliance with our independence standards. All directors complete independence questionnaires at least annually. Our Board determines the independence of its members generally, as well as the independence of members of our Audit Committee under the heightened requirements prescribed by the NYSE and the SEC. The Board and Committee Evaluations At the direction of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our non-executive directors complete annual self-assessment questionnaires regarding the performance of our Board of Directors as a group. Similarly, annual self-assessment questionnaires regarding the performance of each of our Board’s standing committees are completed by the applicable members. long-term and contingency plans for this purpose. This process necessarily involves developing and reviewing criteria for the CEO position that reflect KBR’s business strategy, and identifying and developing internal candidates or identifying the need for external candidates, as appropriate. Additionally, one of the elements that the CEO is evaluated on each year is the robustness of the executive succession plan, including assessment and development of internal candidates for the CEO and top-level executive positions. The CEO’s evaluation and compensation for the next full year, including an evaluation of whether the CEO has created adequate management succession and development programs, are communicated to the CEO by the non-executive Chairman of the Board after review and approval by our Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors (other than the CEO). Board has determined that all of our current directors are independent except Mr. Bradie, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board believes that its membership should include no more than two directors who are also employees of KBR, though this number is not an absolute limitation. Other than the Chief Executive Officer, who should at all times be a member of the Board, we believe only those officers whose positions or potential make it appropriate for them to sit on the Board should do so. In addition, at least two-thirds of the Board must be independent directors. In practice, our CEO has been the only executive director at KBR since its inception as an independent public company. The results of the questionnaires, which are compiled anonymously, are presented to our Board at regularly scheduled meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. These annual performance reviews are intended to enhance the overall effectiveness of our Board and its standing committees. ____2* c 28 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

This ensures that our new directors are well-informed about KBR’s current matters in addition to the broad scope of our businesses. Our new directors also visit project sites and attend townhall meetings to gain more in-depth knowledge of our business practices, including Zero Harm. Continuing education for our directors is not only important but necessary due to the fast pace at which business and technology are evolving. Generally every quarter our Board is presented with an education topic. Recent examples include cybersecurity, data protection, data privacy, digitalization, internal controls, governance, sustainability, and workplace culture. In addition, our directors participate in continuing education outside of KBR covering a wide range of topics such as: audit matters, board effectiveness, cybersecurity board governance, finance, and strategy and innovation. Board Practices and Procedures Directors’ Attendance at Meetings Board members are expected to make every effort to attend the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which they serve, as well as annual stockholder meetings. All of KBR’s directors attended 98% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and the applicable committees during 2019. All of our directors attended our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors will meet each year immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Additional regular meetings of the Board of Directors will take place as needed, but at least four other times per year. Special meetings may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Corporate Secretary, or a majority of the directors in office.

F Corporate Governance Board Practices and Procedures Bylaws permit action to be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board consent to such action in writing or by electronic transmission. During 2019, the Board of Directors held eight regular meetings and four ad hoc meetings. The Chairman of the Board presides at all Board meetings. During each regular Board meeting, KBR’s independent non-executive directors meet in scheduled executive sessions. Our non-executive Chairman of the Board presides at these executive sessions. During 2019, the non-executive directors met without management eight times. Each December our non-executive directors meet in executive session to evaluate the performance of our Chief Executive Officer. In evaluating our CEO, the non-executive directors consider qualitative and quantitative elements of the CEO’s performance, including: • leadership and vision; • integrity; • keeping the Board informed on matters affecting KBR and its operating units; • performance of the business, including such measurements as total stockholder return and achievement of financial objectives and goals; • development and implementation of initiatives to provide long-term economic benefit to KBR; • accomplishment of strategic objectives; and • development of management. Anti-Hedging Policy Our anti-hedging policy prohibits all directors, employees, and agents from speculative trading in our securities; engaging in hedging transactions using our securities; “short selling” our securities; and trading derivative securities, such as put options, call options, swaps, or collars related to our securities. Code of Ethics KBR has adopted a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of SEC Regulation S-K. KBR’s code of ethics, known as the Code of Business Conduct, applies to all directors, officers, and employees of KBR, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and controllers, and also applies to all Contact the Board To foster better communication with our stockholders, KBR has established a process for stockholders and other interested parties to communicate with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

F Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis Compensation Discussion and Analysis Executive Summary NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides a detailed description of our compensation philosophy, objectives, policies, and practices in place during 2019 and explains the factors considered by our Compensation Committee in making Name compensation decisions during 2019. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis focuses on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers or “NEOs” for 2019: Title Stuart Bradie President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Sopp Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Farhan Mujib President, Energy Solutions — Delivery Jay Ibrahim President, Energy Solutions — Services Ian Mackey Executive Vice President, Chief Corporate Officer These NEOs, together with the other members of our executive management team whose compensation is determined by our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors, are referred to as our “Senior Executive Management.” PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Business and Financial Highlights Since our CEO’s appointment in 2014, KBR has evolved into a resilient and stable company that is well-positioned for growth. This past year was the third consecutive year of meeting or exceeding our financial targets. Our increasingly strong performance year-on-year is the result of strong leadership and bold strategic actions. Mr. Bradie’s efforts to change the direction of the company through simplifying and focusing on our core strengths, divestitures of non-strategic businesses, acquisitions of complementary businesses, aggressive cost control and deploying a balanced capital policy created continuous momentum for KBR. He built an energized and dynamic KBR, additionally focusing on internal efficiencies such as automatizations and standardizations, enhancing brand value, and sustainability. Due to his unwavering focus on winning the right work and strong execution, all our businesses delivered strong project performance that translated to a high recompete and new business win rate. These results secure higher and more predictable margins, greater cashflow and organic growth for KBR. Our backlog and book-to-bill of >1 for all three business segments demonstrate longevity and position us to further increase stockholder value. Some of our significant project wins were: • A new five-year, $200 million contract to provide launch range operations at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. Under this contract, we will perform a broad range of work, including radar, telemetry, logistics, tracking and communications services for flight vehicles. We will also test and maintain communications and electronic systems and will operate ground, spacecraft and launch vehicle processing systems. • A Purifier™ license and basic engineering design contract for the largest grassroots ammonia plant ever designed by KBR. We believe this will be the largest true single-train plant in operation in the world. Our Purifier™ technology is highly attractive because of its energy efficiency, flexibility and lower capital costs. • Multiple prime contracts to provide logistics support services to the U.S. Army, coalition partners and other federal agencies under the $82 billion LOGCAP V contract. Under LOGCAP V, KBR won three of the seven major contracts the U.S. Army awarded, including a large performance task order to provide LOGCAP logistics support services in Afghanistan and contracts for setting the theater and associated performance task orders to support the U.S. European Command and Northern Command. • A three-year award by the U.K. Ministry of Defence to provide communications network support and to deliver training services in the Middle East. • A recompete award by the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) to provide worldwide maintenance and supply chain services for the USMC Blount Island Command. The ceiling value of this potential eight-year contract is $950 million. • A reimbursable contract award to provide FEED and EPC services to a tier one company to support the installation and construction of terminal facilities, not including storage tanks, to handle Permian Basin crude oil and condensate for transport to the Gulf Coast. • Our first commercial contract for our innovative and environmentally friendly K-PROTM Propane Dehydrogenation Technology, which we first introduced to the market in January 2019. The K-PROtm technology is based on KBR’s catalytic olefins technology (K-COT™), a commercially proven fluidized-bed technology for converting low-value olefinic, paraffinic or mixed streams into high-value propylene and ethylene. The CAPEX savings for K-PRO™ over other commercially available technologies is in the range 20-30% based on our internal studies. In addition, the new design will deliver higher on-stream factors and much better energy efficiency when compared with existing designs. 38 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

While our 2019 EBITDA decreased from 2018 mainly due to the material gain on consolidation of Aspire Defence Holdings Ltd., of which the Company acquired its joint venture partner’s interest in 2018, our 2019 Adjusted EBITDA excluding this material gain and other expenses increased from 2018. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided on the last page of this proxy statement. Pay for Performance in 2019 Our CEO’s strategic actions positioned KBR for long-term growth, and 2019 was the third consecutive year that we saw these actions come into fruition through delivering strong results and increasing stockholder value. Our adjusted EPS(1) increased by 10% from 2018, and our net income to cash flow conversion was 127%, an increase of 34% from 2018. Short-Term Incentive Plan Payout We exceeded our financial and safety metric targets in our 2019 STI Plan, which resulted in an above target payout of 117.2%: Weight Performance Metric Threshold Target Maximum Actual Result 40% KBR EPS $1.59 $1.66 $1.73 $1.69 20% KBR Operating Cash $175MM $190MM $205MM $256MM Flow 5% SAFE Tours Completed 60 69 83 93 5% Consolidated Safety 0.204 0.191 0.178 0.125 (TRIR) 30% KPIs (Included in the — — — — Short-Term Incentives (Annual) section of the CD&A on page 46) While we exceeded target and, in most cases, maximum for every safety and financial goal we set in our 2019 STI Plan, our Compensation Committee exercised a 10% negative discretion on the 2019 STI payout of our NEOs involved with internal controls over financial reporting and responsible for corporate operations. The negative discretion was applied due to a control deficiency in our internal controls within a newly implemented ERP system in our Government Solutions business segment during the second quarter of the year. While this deficiency did not result in a material misstatement in our financial statements for any period in 2019, and while the deficiency was fully remediated in the third quarter of 2019, our Compensation Committee considered the downward discretion appropriate and aligned with our pay for performance philosophy due to the importance of maintaining a strong internal controls environment.

Overview of Executive Compensation Philosophy, Policies and Practices KEY CONSIDERATIONS IN DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Our Compensation Committee regularly reviews the elements of the individual compensation packages for our CEO and Senior Executive Management. In determining executive compensation, our Compensation Committee strives to ensure that: • Pay packages align executives’ interests with our stockholders’ interest; • Performance metrics are sufficiently challenging; • Target pay packages reflect an appropriate mix of short-term and long-term incentives; • Total compensation, as well as each individual compensation element, is targeted near the 50th percentile of the competitive market for good performance and above the 50th percentile of the competitive market for consistent, outstanding performance over time; and • Market comparisons account for differences in our NEOs’ respective responsibilities compared to responsibilities ascribed to their counterparts at our peers, as well as issues like experience, retention risk, and internal equity. Our executive compensation program is regularly reviewed to ensure that it remains consistent with the above objectives and is administered in accordance with established compensation policies. ROLE OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND CEO During 2019, our CEO made recommendations to our Compensation Committee regarding the compensation and incentives for our Senior Executive Management other than himself. Our CEO also: 2020 Proxy Statement 41

 

F Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis • recommended performance measures, target goals and award schedules for short-term and long-term incentive awards, and reviewed performance goals for consistency with our projected business plan; • reviewed competitive market data for Senior Executive Management positions; and • developed specific recommendations regarding the amount and form of equity compensation to be awarded to our Senior Executive Management. Based on the CEO’s recommendations and in concert with him, our Compensation Committee’s role is to annually review and approve the compensation and incentive awards for our Senior Executive Management. POLICIES AND PRACTICES Below is a summary of our compensation policies and practices in place during 2019 for our Named Executive Officers: Clawbacks • If our Compensation Committee determines that an employee (including an NEO) has been paid incentive compensation (either cash or equity) based on financial results that are later restated, the Company may seek recovery of any overpayments. Stock Ownership Guidelines • We require our CEO to own a significant amount of stock equivalent to five times his base salary and our other NEOs to own an amount of stock equivalent to three times their respective base salaries to align their interests with our stockholders’ interests. No Pledging • No officers may pledge Company stock. No Hedging • No officers may hedge Company stock. Market Comparison • As one of its considerations, our Compensation Committee strives to set base salary, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and total compensation levels near the median of our peer companies for good performance, and above the 50th percentile of the competitive market for consistent, outstanding performance over time. Performance-Based Compensation • A majority of our NEOs’ compensation is performance-based compensation and varies depending on the achievement of absolute and relative performance goals. Double-Trigger • Our severance and change-in-control agreements require a double-trigger for a change-in-control termination (i.e., the occurrence of both a change in control and a termination of employment within two years thereafter) in order for an executive to receive change-in-control benefits. No Employment Agreements • Our NEOs do not have employment agreements. No Tax Gross-Ups • No excise tax gross-up agreements are provided. No Option Repricing • We prohibit the repricing of KBR stock options THIRD-PARTY CONSULTANTS Under its charter, our Compensation Committee is authorized to retain a compensation consultant and has the sole authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. While our Compensation Committee believes that using third-party consultants is an efficient way to keep current regarding competitive compensation practices, our Compensation Committee does not accord undue weight to the advice of outside professional advisors. Instead, we make changes in our compensation program based on whether the program’s intended objectives are being achieved. In 2019, our Compensation Committee used the services of one compensation consulting firm, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”). Our Compensation Committee engaged and managed its relationship with Meridian directly. Similarly, Meridian reported directly to our Compensation Committee with respect to all executive and non-executive director compensation matters. Meridian’s work for KBR included advising our Compensation Committee, as requested, with respect to all executive compensation matters and various director compensation matters. In particular, Meridian was engaged to provide the following: • A 2019 proxy update; • A review of the peer groups used to assess the competitiveness of our executive compensation programs for the 2019-2020 compensation cycle; • A review of our long-term incentive program; • A realizable pay analysis; • Regular updates of the valuation of our long-term performance cash awards; • A competitive market study of executive compensation for the Senior Executive Management; • Regular updates on notable legislative and regulatory activities; • A review of the risk profile of the proposed long-term incentive performance metrics for 2020; • A review of the CEO’s 2020 executive compensation recommendations for our Senior Executive Management; • A review of the CEO’s compensation for 2020; and • A review of non-executive director compensation for 2020. Outside of providing executive and director advisory services to our Compensation Committee, Meridian provided no other services to us or our affiliates.

1 Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis reviewed the independence factors approved by the SEC (as well as other factors identified by the NYSE) as affecting the independence of a consultant or adviser, including the following: • Whether Meridian provides other services to KBR; • The amount of fees Meridian received from KBR as a percentage of that firm’s total revenue; • Meridian’s policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; • Whether there is any business or personal relationship between an individual Meridian compensation consultant or other adviser and a member of our Compensation Committee; CORE AND DIVERSIFIED PEER GROUPS In the design and administration of our 2019 executive compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers, our Compensation Committee considered competitive market data from two distinct peer groups known as our “Core Peer Group” and our “Diversified Peer Group.” The Core Peer Group is composed of twelve companies whose primary operations involve providing highly technical and professional services to the U.S. government and the engineering, • Whether there is any business or personal relationship of the compensation consultant or other advisor or the compensation consultant’s or other advisor’s employer with any of the executive officers of KBR; • Whether Meridian or any of its principals or employees owns any stock of KBR; and • Whether Meridian or any of its principals or employees has a business or personal relationship with an executive officer of KBR. Based on the results of this review, our Compensation Committee confirmed Meridian’s independence and lack of a conflict of interest in 2019, and approved the continued retention of Meridian. construction, and services industry. We believe these are the companies against which KBR most competes for employees and business. The Core Peer Group used for 2019 compensation decisions consisted of the companies in the table below, which also shows the revenue, asset, and market cap data relevant at the time these companies were relied upon for making 2019 compensation decisions.

The compensation data for our Core Peer Group was obtained from publicly available sources, including proxy statements and Form 4 and 8-K disclosures, and was not adjusted. In addition to reviewing publicly available data for the Core Peer Group, our Compensation Committee also selects a supplemental group of companies to provide additional data for assessing the competitiveness and reasonableness of the compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers. For 2019 compensation decisions, the Diversified Peer Group consisted of 20 companies that were participants in the Equilar Executive Compensation Survey (which Meridian used to analyze peer company compensation data that was not publicly available). The Diversified Peer Group crosses multiple industries and includes companies of similar size and scope as KBR. The constituent companies were generally selected based on revenue, size, complexity, performance, and the nature of their principal business operations, with specific emphasis on engineering 2020 Proxy Statement 43

 

F Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis and construction, heavy industrial, manufacturing, and government services. Our Compensation Committee believes the Diversified Peer Group appropriately represents both the local Houston and the broader market for key management and technical talent. The Diversified Peer Group used for 2019 compensation decisions consisted of the following companies: Boise Cascade Co, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, Dover Corporation, EMCOR Group, Inc., Flowserve Corporation, Harris Corporation, Hubbell Inc., Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc., Leidos Holdings Inc., Lennox International Inc., McDermott International, Inc., Meritor Inc., Quanta Services, Inc., Science Applications International Corporation, Teradata Corporation, Tetra Tech, Inc., Timken Corporation, Unisys Corporation, Visteon Corporation and Weatherford International plc. programs. The review considered several factors relating to the constituent companies, including an analysis of certain financial metrics (i.e., revenue, net assets, market capitalization, enterprise value, and number of employees) drawn from the Equilar Executive Compensation Survey, business strategies, the effects of corporate transactions, and the availability of market data. As a result of this review, our Compensation Committee updated our Core Peer Group for 2020 compensation decisions by adding TechnipFMC plc. Our Compensation Committee also made changes to our Diversified Peer Group by adding AECOM Technology Corporation, Fluor Corporation, and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. because these companies began participating in the Equilar Executive Compensation Survey and removing Weatherford International plc due to its bankruptcy. During 2019, our Compensation Committee asked Meridian to review the appropriateness of the Core and Diversified Peer Groups for assessing the competitiveness of our executive compensation No Significant Changes Made in 2019 to KBR’s Compensation Program In 2017, our Compensation Committee made changes to our short-term incentive plan to further emphasize the link between pay and Company performance. These changes shifted the weightings for two metrics to make the company-wide EPS metric more important than individual KPIs, added more financially measurable metrics to the KPIs, and fixed the CEO’s KPIs to be based solely on EBITDA targets. Our Compensation Committee believes all of our compensation programs now strongly reflect our pay-for-performance strategy. Accordingly, no significant changes were made to our compensation program for 2018 or 2019. Changes made to our 2020 Compensation Program are disclosed on pages 50 and 54. Advisory Vote on Compensation and Stockholder Engagement We believe we have a well-designed executive compensation program; however, our Corporate Secretary reaches out to our top 25 investors bi-annually to maintain an open dialogue about our compensation policies, practices, and structure and receive feedback on elements that could be changed to better align with our stockholders’ interests. In 2019, we reached out to our top 25 investors in April for comment on our 2019 proxy. Our Corporate Secretary had calls or heard from investors representing approximately 25% of our outstanding stock. The Chairman of our Compensation Committee joined our Corporate Secretary in calls with two of our top investors representing approximately 8% of our outstanding stock. Most of these calls asked us to respond to the latest Institutional Shareholder Services report recommending against our stockholder advisory proposal on executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay Proposal”). Over half of the investors who we spoke with had no major concerns with our compensation program but were going to follow the recommendation of ISS because that was the investor’s policy. Several investors, though, believed a greater percentage of our executives’ compensation should be paid in KBR stock. Specifically, some investors suggested that a portion of our KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards, the largest component of our executives’ total compensation, be paid in KBR stock. Our most recent Say-on-Pay Proposal was presented to our stockholders during the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on May 15, 2019. At that 2019 annual meeting, approximately 61% of the votes cast (in person and by proxy) on the Say-on-Pay Proposal were voted in favor of the proposal. Our Compensation Committee considered this majority result to be in support of our compensation policies and decisions but acknowledged it being a much lower approval rating compared to 93% in 2018. As a result, in November our Compensation Committee sought input again from our top 25 investors. On behalf of our Compensation Committee, our Corporate Secretary had meetings with investors representing approximately 11% of our outstanding stock. Similar to our discussions in April 2019, our investors generally believed that a greater percentage of our executives’ compensation should be paid in KBR stock. Based on the April and November feedback from our investors, we amended our 2020 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards, which are payable under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, such that payouts to our Named Executive Officers will be settled in KBR stock rather than cash for the 50% portion of the award that is based on the relative TSR performance metric. This significant increase to the percentage of our Named Executive Officers’ total compensation that is settled in our stock creates a larger stake in the long-term financial success of the Company that is more aligned with our stockholder interests. Outside of this directed dialogue regarding executive compensation, our Company maintains open discussions with our stockholders on a broad range of topics, including board diversity, governance, and sustainability matters. We will continue to consider the outcome of our Say-on-Pay Proposal when determining future compensation policies and decisions for our NEOs. 44 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

CEO’s TARGET COMPENSATION OTHER NEO’s TARGET COMPENSATION 6 % Performance Based 7 % Long-Term Incentives 13% Base Salary 100% Performance Based 16% Short-Term Incentives (Annual) 33 % Non-Performance Based 3 % Non-Performance Based 6 % Performance Based 52 % Long-Term Incentives 100% Performance Based 22% Short-Term Incentives (Annual) 26% Base Salary Elements of Compensation Our executive compensation program has been designed to ensure that KBR is able to attract and retain talented executives for applicable positions, and that our compensation plans support KBR’s strategies, focus efforts, help achieve business success, and align with stockholders’ interests. There is no pre-established formula for the allocation between cash and non-cash compensation or between short-term and long-term compensation. Instead, each year our Compensation Committee determines, in its discretion and business judgment, the appropriate level and mix of compensation to reward our NEOs for near-term superior performance and to encourage commitment to our long-range strategic business goals. When making these decisions, our Compensation Committee is always mindful of our philosophy that the majority of Named Executive Officer compensation should vary with Company performance. As illustrated in the above charts, our 2019 executive compensation program consisted of three core elements of direct compensation (at target): base salary, short-term (annual) incentives, and long-term incentives. Each element of our executive compensation program is described below. A. BASE SALARY We pay our NEOs market-competitive base salaries for the skills and experience they bring to their respective roles. Our Compensation Committee then uses its discretion to adjust that amount to reflect: • Individual performance; • Internal pay equity; • Level of responsibility; • Experience in current role and equitable compensation relationships among our executives; • Performance and leadership; and • External factors involving competitive positioning, general economic conditions, and marketplace compensation trends. 2020 Proxy Statement 45

 

F Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis B. SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES (ANNUAL) Our Compensation Committee established the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan (the “Performance Pay Plan”) to reward Senior Executive Management for improving financial results for our stockholders and to provide a means to link cash compensation to KBR’s short-term performance. The Performance Pay Plan is a performance program under the stockholder-approved KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. We provide for short-term incentives in order to motivate and reward achievement of, and performance in excess of, Incentive Award Opportunities In December 2018, our Compensation Committee met to determine the 2019 target awards for our Named Executive Officers under the Performance Pay Plan. These short-term awards, which are expressed as percentages of base salary, were generally set to be consistent with the median target awards for those in similar positions within our Core and Diversified Peer Groups. The short-term incentive award opportunities for 2019 are shown below: KBR’s annual goals. Executive Threshold (% of Base Salary) Target (% of Base Salary) Maximum (% of Base Salary) Increase to Target Award from 2018 Mr. Bradie 31.25% 125% 250% None Mr. Mujib 22.5% 90% 180% None Messrs. Ibrahim, Mackey and Sopp 21.25% 85% 170% 5% 2019 Performance Metrics Fiscal year 2019 was the fifth full year since Mr. Bradie’s arrival at KBR and the initiation of our strategic plan in 2014. The performance metrics we used for 2019 short-term awards, which are the same as the metrics used for our 2018 awards, focus our NEOs on the key measures of success in connection with the execution of our strategic plan. Our Compensation Committee updated the targets for each metric to ensure they remained challenging and competitive. Our Compensation Committee adopted the following performance metrics (and weightings) for our CEO and other NEOs for short-term incentive awards: Performance Metric Weighting Rationale KBR Adjusted EPS Measures net income divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted Company shares outstanding. 40% This metric helps to align our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders because strong EPS generally increases the value of our stock. Buybacks are considered in reviewing EPS achievement to provide for an accurate comparison against the pre-established target. KPIs KPIs are individual performance metrics specific to each NEO. For the CEO, 50% of his KPIs are based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The KPIs for the other NEOs are described on pages 48, 49 and 50. 30% KPIs allow us to reward individual contributions to KBR’s key strategy focus areas. KBR Operating Cash Flow (“OCF”) KBR OCF measures the amount of cash generated by KBR’s operations. 20% Our OCF target is based on KBR’s 2019 budgeted Cash Flow from Operations, and is aligned with our capital deployment strategy. This metric ensures that our NEOs focus on cash management. Completed SAFE Tours A SAFE (Shaping Accident Free Environments) Tour is a project, office, or site visit by an NEO to ensure implementation of KBR’s Zero Harm 24/7 initiative. 5% The objective of a SAFE Tour is to exhibit visible leadership and commitment to health, safety, security and environment from the highest level of our Company. A SAFE Tour requires a significant commitment from an NEO. This forward-looking metric promotes the safety of all KBR employees and affiliates and helps reduce costs. KBR Consolidated Safety Safety measures the total recordable incident rate (“TRIR”), which is calculated as the number of recordable incidents for every 200,000 work-hours, for consolidated KBR. 5% This historic metric measures the safety of all Company employees and affiliates. Safety incentives also help reduce costs for the Company. We believe the above metrics are most important for measuring our NEOs’ efforts to drive KBR’s growth and increase our stockholders’ value. 46 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

1 Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis Target Award Levels When establishing target levels for the short-term incentive awards for 2019, our Compensation Committee considered, among other things, projected Company performance, strategic business objectives, and forecast general business and industry conditions. At the time the target levels are established, the outcome is intended to be substantially uncertain but achievable, and to require better than expected performance from our NEOs. Our Compensation Committee adopted target levels for our short-term incentive award schedule that maintained the same rigor as the performance targets from the prior year, especially in light of our strategic goal to position KBR for long-term growth. For KBR EPS, our Compensation Committee set the target level at the midpoint of the adjusted EPS guidance of $1.58 to $1.73, which was included in Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K filed on February 26, 2019. We considered an adjusted EPS of $1.66 a rigorous target level because our 2018 EPS of $1.99 included benefits of $0.63 due to the Aspire Defence gain on consolidation. Excluding this, our 2018 adjusted EPS 2019 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES TABLE was $1.36 (see reconciliation under the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation: EBITDA and Adjusted EPS” at the end of this proxy statement). Our 2019 KBR Adjusted EPS target of $1.66 reflected an 8.5% increase from the adjusted 2018 EPS of $1.53. For KBR’s Operating Cash Flow (“OCF”), our Compensation Committee set the target level at the midpoint of our OCF guidance of $175MM to $205MM, which was included in Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K filed on February 26, 2019. We considered an OCF of $190MM to be an appropriate target level given that this was a 15% increase over our 2018 OCF of $165MM. The 2019 target level for the Consolidated Safety TRIR performance metric was set at 0.190, which was slightly better than the 2018 TRIR result of 0.191, because with industry-leading performance, we adopt a continuous improvement goal philosophy. Our Compensation Committee established the 2019 target award levels shown below, with actual results and payouts certified in February 2020. Weight Performance Metric Threshold Target Maximum Actual Result Payout 40% KBR EPS(1) $1.59 $1.66 $1.73 $1.69 57.2% 20% KBR OCF $175MM $190MM $205MM $256MM 40.0% 5% SAFE Tours Completed 60 69 83 93 10% 5% Consolidated Safety (TRIR) 0.204 0.190 0.178 0.125 10% 30% KPIs Individual KPIs shown below Noted below TOTAL PAYOUT(2) 117.2% (1) The 2019 EPS actual result of $1.69 relates to the achieved adjusted EPS for the year, after non-cash corrections to record the effects of foreign currency on our share of earnings of an unconsolidated joint venture. A reconciliation of EPS to adjusted EPS is provided on the last page of this proxy statement. (2) The total payout percentage does not include the percentages earned with respect to the KPIs. The final payouts for our CEO and other NEOs are disclosed in the following paragraphs. Exercise of Negative Discretion to Total STI Payout % At the end of the second quarter of 2019, management determined that it failed to sufficiently assess and implement controls to address the financial reporting control risks of a newly implemented ERP system in our Government Solutions business segment. As a result, internal controls were not operated consistently and effectively during the second quarter of the year in our Government Solutions business segment. While this deficiency did not result in a material misstatement in our financial statements for any period in 2019, and while the deficiency was fully remediated in the third quarter of 2019, our Compensation Committee reduced the 2019 total STI payout percentage by 10 percentage points for Messrs. Bradie, Sopp and Mackey, who are involved with internal controls over financial reporting and responsible for corporate operations. This emphasizes the significance of internal controls over financial reporting to KBR and aligns with our mission to maintain a strong control environment and our license to operate as a world-class global service provider. 2020 Proxy Statement 47

At the time of filing this proxy statement, our Compensation Committee was still reviewing the 2020 STI plan due to the difficulty in setting goals during the COVID-19 pandemic. C. LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES Under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, our Compensation Committee made grants to our Named Executive Officers in 2019 in the form of KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards and KBR Restricted Stock Units. The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, the methodology used by our Compensation Committee to determine the mix of awards to grant, and the actual 2019 grants to the NEOs are described below. Stock awards approved by our Compensation Committee are generally effective on the date of the meeting at which the approval occurs. Stock option grants, when approved by our Compensation Committee, are never issued with an exercise price below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. KBR Stock and Incentive Plan We use long-term performance incentives to achieve the following objectives: • reward consistent value creation and achievement of operating performance goals; • align management’s interests with stockholders’ interests; and • encourage long-term perspectives and commitment. Long-term incentives represent the largest component of the total executive compensation opportunity for our executives. We believe this is appropriate given our belief that executive pay should be closely tied to stockholders’ long-term interests. The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan provides for a variety of cash and stock-based awards, including nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock/units, performance shares/units, stock appreciation rights, and stock value equivalents, also known as phantom stock. The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan allows our Compensation Committee the discretion to select from among these types of awards to establish individual long-term incentive awards. Our Compensation Committee met in December 2018 to review the number of shares available under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan for future stock-based awards and to review the CEO’s recommendations on the value of the long-term incentive awards to our Senior Executive Management. In addition, our Committee met in February 2019 to review and approve the amount and appropriate mix of long-term incentive awards to be granted to our Named Executive Officers.

1 Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis For purposes of establishing the target dollar value of the long-term incentive awards, our Compensation Committee engaged Meridian to review our Named Executive Officers’ long-term incentive compensation. Based on this review and related information about our peer groups, our Compensation Committee elected not to increase the long-term incentive target dollar values for our Named Executive Officers except for Mr. Sopp, as outlined in the below table: 2019 Long-Term Incentive Target Dollar Value of Increase (% of Target 2018 Long-Term Name Award Incentive Award) Basis for Decision Mr. Bradie $ 6,000,000 $ 0 Core Peer Group data. Mr. Sopp $ 1,250,000 $ 250,000 (25%) Core Peer Group data. Mr. Mujib $ 1,400,000 $ 0 Core Peer Group data and internal equity. Mr. Ibrahim $ 850,000 $ 0 Core Peer Group data and internal equity. Mr. Mackey $ 1,000,000 $ 0 Diversified Peer Group data and internal equity. Using the long-term incentive target dollar values listed above, our Compensation Committee granted our Named Executive Officers a mix of 66 %% KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards (based on target value) and 33 /% KBR Restricted Stock Units. Our Compensation Committee concluded that this mix of performance cash awards and restricted stock units was consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance objectives. Our Compensation Committee reviewed the mix of equity awards granted by the companies in our Core Peer Group and Diversified Peer Group. KBR awarded a much higher percentage of performance cash awards (66 %%) than the companies in either of our peer groups because our Compensation Committee believes that emphasizing the two performance metrics for these awards — JIS and sustained TSR — is more likely than other forms of incentive to promote a sustained increase in stockholder value. KBR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE CASH AWARDS The KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards are designed to provide selected executives with incentive opportunities that are contingent on the level of achievement of pre-established corporate performance objectives. For the awards granted to our Named Executive Officers in February 2019, our Compensation Committee selected the same performance metrics as were used for the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards granted in 2018: relative TSR and job income sold (“JIS”), each weighted 50%. These terms and the importance of the two metrics to KBR are described below. TOTAL STOCKHOLDER RETURN (TSR) TOTAL AWARDS PAYOUT DEFINITION KBR’s average quarterly TSR over the three-year performance period is compared to the average quarterly TSR of each Company of our TSR Peer Group* over the same period. OBJECTIVE The objective of this metric is to directly link the payout to KBR’s average TSR performance relative to its peers, promoting stockholders’ interest. DEFINITION JIS is defined as the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ job income from (i) new projects awarded and (ii) earnings growth from contract amendments or scope adjustments to existing projects. OBJECTIVE The objective of this metric is to measure and reward sales performance and promote growth, which is one of our key strategic priorities. * For 2019 compensation decisions, the TSR Peer Group was identical to the Core Peer Group. The Compensation Committee selects an appropriate TSR Peer Group every year, and it does not always overlap perfectly with the Core Peer Group. 2020 Proxy Statement 51

 

F Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis For the 2019 grants, TSR and JIS will be measured over a three-year performance period beginning January 1,2019, and ending December 31, 2021. Our Compensation Committee believes that a three-year performance award cycle encourages retention and aligns with long-term stockholder returns. Moreover, JIS is appropriately measured over three years because our projects are long-term in nature and often involve amendments and scope adjustments that might distort a shorter performance period. Given that winning the right work is one of our key strategic priorities through which we can create long-term growth and position KBR for a strong and stable future amidst economic volatility, we believe that JIS measured over three years is an appropriate metric. When establishing target levels for these two performance metrics, our Compensation Committee considered, among other things, projected Company performance, KBR’s strategic business objectives, and forecast general business and industry conditions. At the time the target levels were established, the outcomes were intended to be substantially uncertain, but achievable. Our Compensation Committee determined the number of KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 66 %% and dividing the product by $1.00, which is the target value of each KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Award. The actual value of a KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Award may increase to a maximum of 200% of $1.00, or $2.00, or decrease to below threshold to 0% of $1.00, or $0.00, depending on KBR’s performance. TSR Metric TSR is measured based on a sustained approach rather than a cumulative (point-to-point) approach. Our Compensation Committee believes that measuring TSR just from the beginning of the three-year performance period to the end would not adequately capture stockholder value. To measure sustained performance, we calculate the TSR of each company in the TSR Peer Group (measured using a 20-trading-day average price) every quarter during the three-year performance period. We then calculate the average TSR for each peer company for the three-year performance period by dividing the sum of each company’s quarterly TSRs by 12 (the number of calendar quarters in three years). Then we rank KBR’s average quarterly TSR against those results. Our Compensation Committee believes this sustained measurement approach is better because, instead of emphasizing a single ending point, this approach considers how investors fare at different times during the entire three-year performance period. The TSR percentage is calculated by subtracting KBR’s TSR ranking as compared to the peer group from the total number of companies in the peer group (including KBR), dividing the difference by the number of companies in the peer group (excluding KBR), and multiplying the quotient by 100%. Assuming a peer group of 13 companies (including KBR), the TSR rankings and corresponding payout percentages are shown in the table below. At the end of each three-year performance award cycle, our Compensation Committee will determine KBR’s TSR ranking, and the payout attributable to the TSR performance measure will be computed for each NEO in accordance with the table that follows. TSR Payout Performance Level TSR Ranking Percentile Payout 1 100.0% 200.0% Maximum 2 91.7% 200.0% 3 83.3% 183.3% 4 75.0% 162.5% 5 66.7% 141.8% 6 58.3% 120.8% Target 7 50.0% 100.0% 8 41.7% 79.3% 9 33.3% 58.3% Threshold 10 25.0% 37.5% 11 16.7% 0.0% 12 8.3% 0.0% 13 0.0% 0.0% ____5* c 52 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

1 Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis JIS Metric The remaining 50% of the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards will be determined based on JIS over the same three-year performance period. The 2019 performance goals and associated payouts for JIS are shown below. Threshold Target Maximum Performance Goal $660MM $700MM $740MM Payout %* 25% 100% 200% * For a result between threshold and target and target and maximum, the payout is determined by linear extrapolation. For the second and third years in the JIS performance period, our Compensation Committee will set the JIS target at a level that remains rigorous. Our Compensation Committee decided to establish the JIS target one year at a time because it is difficult to forecast JIS beyond one year in the challenging hydrocarbons market. The final award for the JIS metric will be calculated at the end of the three-year performance period as the average of the JIS percentages achieved during each year. Possible Negative Discretion In addition to the TSR and JIS performance measures, 20% of the total KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards payout was subject to forfeiture on December 31, 2019, if our Compensation Committee determined, in its sole discretion, that 2019 was not a successful year for us. The possible 20% reduction would be applied only in 2019 if our Compensation Committee decided that 2019 was not a successful year on or before March 31, 2020, and the amount forfeited could not be earned back during the second and third years of the three-year performance period. There was no upside to this discretion; our Compensation Committee was not authorized to increase payouts, even if 2019 was a particularly strong year. On February 19, 2020, our Compensation Committee determined that 2019 was a successful year for KBR and, accordingly, it did not exercise its discretion to cause a forfeiture of 20% of the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards payout. Similarly, the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards that were granted to our NEOs in 2019 provide our Compensation Committee with the discretion to reduce, but not increase, by any amount (including a reduction resulting in no payout) the payments that would otherwise be made with respect to such awards. This negative discretion may be exercised by our Compensation Committee at any time before payment is made with respect to these awards, but it may not be exercised following the occurrence of a corporate change (as defined in the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan). Results and Payouts for Awards for the 2017-2019 Performance Period In February 2020, our Compensation Committee certified the results for the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards that were granted on February 28, 2017, based on the same TSR and JIS performance measures. The table below shows those results and the amounts actually paid to each of our Named Executive Officers. Payout Table for 2017-2019 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Award Period 2017 Long-Term Performance Cash Award Average Total Stockholder Return 2017-2019 Job Income Sold 2017-2019 Named Executive Officer Target ($) Maximum ($) Actual Payout ($) Avg TSR Avg Peer TSRGroup (Ranking Avg TSR Payout (%) 50% Weighted Payout (%) Actual Avg TSR Payout ($) Avg JISW Payout Ratio 50% eighted Payout (%) Actual Avg JIS Payout Ratio Payout ($) Mr. Bradie 4,000,000 8,000,000 7,700,000 15.2 1st 200 100 4,000,000 185 92.5 3,700,000 Mr. Sopp 666,667 1,333,334 1,283,334 15.2 1st 200 100 666,667 185 92.5 616,667 Mr. Mujib 933,333 1,866,666 1,796,666 15.2 1st 200 100 933,333 185 92.5 863,333 Mr. Ibrahim 566,667 1,133,334 1,090,834 15.2 1st 200 100 566,667 185 92.5 524,167 Mr. Mackey 666,667 1,333,334 1,283,334 15.2 1st 200 100 666,667 185 92.5 616,667 For the 2017 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards, a TSR ranking below the 20th percentile results in zero payout, a ranking in the target 50th percentile results in a target payout of 100%, and a ranking equal to or greater than the maximum 90th percentile results in a maximum payout of 200%. The average TSR for the three-year performance period was 15.2%, which resulted in a ranking of 1st out of the nine companies in our TSR Peer Group, a 100% percentile, and a 200% average TSR payout. The actual TSR payout was 100% after applying the 50% weighting. The 2017 JIS was $544MM, which was above the 2017 maximum goal of $500MM and resulted in a 2017 JIS payout ratio of 200%. The 2018 JIS was $664MM, which was in between the 2018 target goal of $585MM and maximum goal of $730MM and resulted in a 2018 JIS payout ratio of 154.5%. The 2019 JIS was $773MM, which was above 2020 Proxy Statement 53

 

F Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis the 2019 maximum goal of $740MM and resulted in a 2019 JIS payout ratio of 200%. The average JIS payout ratio for the three-year performance period was 185%. The actual average JIS payout ratio payout was 92.5% after applying the 50% weighting. Based on the weightings of 50% each for TSR and JIS, the total payout ratio for the 2017 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards was 192.5% of target. Changes Made to KBR’s 2020 Long-Term Performance Cash Awards In response to our stockholders’ feedback to make our compensation program more heavily weighted in stock than in cash, our Compensation Committee amended our 2020 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards payable under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan with respect to our senior executives to settle in stock rather than in cash for the 50% portion that is based on relative TSR. The increase in stock-settled awards provides a larger stake in the long-term financial success of the Company that is aligned with stockholder interest. KBR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS The KBR Restricted Stock Units granted to our NEOs in 2019 are subject to a three-year graded vesting schedule, based on continued service with the Company. Dividend equivalents will be paid on restricted stock units at the same time dividends are paid to common stockholders. Our Compensation Committee determined the number of restricted stock units for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 33 %% and dividing the product by $19.76, the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Our Compensation Committee selected a three-year vesting schedule to facilitate retention and to provide incentives to enhance long-term value. As with the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards, 20% of the restricted stock units were subject to forfeiture on December 31, 2019, in the discretion of our Compensation Committee if it determined on or before the first anniversary of the date of grant that 2019 was not a successful year for us. Any amount of restricted stock units forfeited could not be earned back during the second and third years of the three-year vesting period. On February 19, 2020, our Compensation Committee determined that 2019 was a successful year for KBR and, accordingly, it did not exercise its discretion to cause a forfeiture of 20% of the KBR Restricted Stock Units. In addition to the above, our CEO continued to hold his performance restricted stock units granted in 2014. Our CEO earned 100% of his July 2014 performance restricted stock units that were scheduled to vest in June 2019. This was the second earned vesting following three years of forfeitures, as shown below: FORFEITURES AND VESTING OF JULY 2014 GRANT OF 30,877 PSUs 9 Forfeited Earned and Vested Other Compensation Elements NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION We maintain two active nonqualified deferred compensation plans in which one or more of our Named Executive Officers participate: the KBR Elective Deferral Plan and the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan. Our Compensation Committee approved these plans in April 2007 in order to provide a continuation of benefits to our employees who were entitled to such benefits under our prior parent’s nonqualified plans. Both of these plans are available to all KBR employees who meet the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as applicable. KBR continues to maintain these plans because similar plans are offered by many of the companies in our Core Peer Group. The KBR Elective Deferral Plan helps certain employees, including our NEOs, meet their retirement and other future income needs. No SEVERANCE AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL PROTECTION Since 2008, our Compensation Committee has offered certain members of our Senior Executive Management a severance and change-in-control agreement (the “Agreement”). We believe that providing termination benefits under a severance and change-in-control agreement allows the Company to be competitive with the practices of the Core Peer Group as well as the general market. In addition, the specific terms for receiving Company contributions are made to fund deferrals under this plan. Benefits under this plan are payable upon a termination of employment or at a future date specified by the employee. The KBR Benefit Restoration Plan provides a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits that are reduced because of limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or because an employee participates in other Company-sponsored plans. Benefits under this plan are payable upon a termination of employment. Defined Benefit Pension Plan Our Named Executive Officers do not participate in any KBR-sponsored defined benefit pension plans. termination benefits under the Agreement serve to motivate and retain key employees of the Company. The Agreements offered to our NEOs are substantially the same, as further described below in the section titled “2019 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” and “Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements.” 54 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

1 Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis In addition, our Compensation Committee elected for the Agreement to require a double-trigger change-in-control termination (i.e., the occurrence of both a change in control and a termination of employment within two years thereafter) in order for an executive to receive change in control benefits. None of our NEOs’ Agreements contain an excise tax gross-up, and our Compensation Committee has committed not to provide for such gross-ups in the future. Our Compensation Committee offered the Agreement to Mr. Mujib in February 2013, to Mr. Bradie in June 2014, to Mr. Mackey in January 2015, to Mr. Ibrahim in May 2015, and to Mr. Sopp in February 2017 because each of our other members of Senior Executive Management at those times had an Agreement or to incentivize them to leave their former employer and join the Company. Each NEO’s Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) the executive’s termination of employment with the Company or (ii) two years after a change in control that occurs during the term of the Agreement. The Agreement provides for: • Severance termination benefits (prior to a change in control), which, for some members of Senior Executive Management, including Messrs. Mackey and Sopp, are graded based on service time with the Company; • Double-trigger change-in-control termination benefits (after a change in control); and • Death, disability, and retirement benefits. As a condition of receiving these benefits (other than the death and disability benefits), the applicable executive must first execute a release and full settlement agreement. The Agreement contains customary confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation covenants, as well as a mandatory arbitration provision. In addition, the Agreement contains a clawback provision that allows the Company to recover any benefits paid under the Agreement if our Compensation Committee determines within two years after the executive’s termination of employment that his employment could have been terminated for “Cause,” as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement provides that all unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance cash awards granted to the executive will be forfeited upon involuntary termination not for cause and good reason. Such awards, however, will fully vest upon a double-trigger change in control termination. OTHER BENEFITS Generally, our Named Executive Officers participate in the same retirement and health and welfare programs as our other employees. In 2019, our Named Executive Officers participated in the Company’s 401(k) plan, under which we made employer matching contributions up to 5.5% of eligible compensation. NEOs’ health care and insurance coverage is the same as that provided to other active employees, except that the Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive an executive physical under our Zero Harm initiative. Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive limited financial planning advice. Otherwise, we typically do not offer perquisites to our Named Executive Officers unless those perquisites are generally available to other employees. Our executives do not have company cars or car allowances, housing, or travel allowances, except if we ask them to relocate. In connection with his international assignment, Mr. Ibrahim received the standard allowances for a car, housing, school, and relocation costs. In addition, Mr. Ibrahim was included in our standard tax equalization program. To allow for maximum efficiency and productive use of time, we have one Company-leased car and a driver in Houston for use by our Named Executive Officers and others for business purposes. Our Named Executive Officers may use the Company-leased car and the driver for limited personal use only if the car is not being used by another Named Executive Officer for business purposes at that time. Impact of Executive Conduct or a Restatement of Earnings on Compensation (Clawback Policy) If we determine at any time within two years after the termination of employment of a Named Executive Officer that such executive’s employment could have been terminated for Cause, as defined in the executive’s Agreement, we retain the right to recover any severance benefits (both cash and equity) provided under the Agreement to such executive. In such a case, the executive agrees to promptly repay such amounts to us. In addition, our Company’s cash and equity incentive programs allow our Compensation Committee to seek recovery of any incentives that are determined to be an overpayment following any restatement of our financial results that impacts the performance metrics on which the incentive awards were calculated. Impact of Accounting, Regulatory, and Tax Requirements on Compensation We apply the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10 for share-based payments to account for and report equity-based compensation. FASB ASC 718-10 requires equity-based compensation expense to be measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is measured based on the grant date fair value, which is re-measured at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period or the vesting period are recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over that period. Compensation expense was recognized for restricted stock unit awards. In the years when we grant stock option awards, the grant date fair value is estimated using option-pricing models. If an award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost is recognized immediately before the modification. The benefits of tax 2020 Proxy Statement 55

 

Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for the options (excess tax benefits) are classified as addition to paid-in-capital, and cash retained as a result of these excess tax benefits is presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows. We carefully review and take into account current tax regulations as they relate to the design of our compensation programs and related decisions. Prior to the enactment of tax reform legislation signed into law on December 22, 2017, which was originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limited a company’s ability to deduct compensation paid in excess of $1 million during any fiscal year to each of certain named executive officers, unless the compensation was performance-based as defined under federal tax laws. Subject to certain transitional rules, the TCJA has repealed the exemption for performance-based compensation from the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code for taxable years beginning after 2017. Our Compensation Committee historically reviewed and considered the deductibility of our executive compensation programs and provided compensation that was not fully deductible when necessary to retain and motivate certain executive officers and when it was in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders. To the extent compensatory awards are not covered by the transitional rules, the performance-based exception to the deduction limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code will no longer be available to the Company and annual compensation paid to our covered executives in excess of $1 million will not be deductible; however, the deductability of compensation is only one of the many factors we consider when determining the appropriate level of compensation for our Senior Management Team. Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 applies to any cash-or equity-based incentive compensation paid to specified executives where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of restatement. We are administering all nonqualified, deferred compensation plans and payouts applicable to our Named Executive Officers with the intent to be exempt from, or in compliance with, the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code added under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. O Suketu Guhya has worked as a Project Control Manager for 12 years at KBR. He played an integral role in delivering the first indigenous detail engineering project in Chennai, India. He was given the opportunity to build project controls capabilities in Chennai, which team now supports projects in London, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Australia and the U.S. O KBR’s Senior Vice President Ella Studer has won the International Stability Operations Association (“ISOA’) Lifetime Achievement Award for her accomplishments in stability operations and commitment to the ISOA organization.

1 Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis Stock-Related Policies STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES FOR OFFICERS The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors determined that we should establish stock ownership guidelines for certain of our officers and officers of our subsidiaries in an effort to link these officers’ financial interests more closely with those of our stockholders. Our Board of Directors adopted ownership guidelines for our common stock for executives at the levels indicated below: Group Ownership Level CEO 5x base salary Level 1 Executives (Direct reports to CEO) 3x base salary Level 2 Executives (Direct reports to Level 1 Executives and at least a vice president) 1x base salary Each executive subject to the ownership guidelines will have five years after the adoption of the guidelines or his or her appointment to an applicable office, whichever is later, to achieve the indicated ownership level. All beneficially owned shares of KBR common stock, as well as vested and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, are counted towards achievement of the ownership guideline. For purposes of determining compliance at any particular date, the value of an executive’s shares of common stock is determined as the closing price of the common stock on that date. An executive who has achieved the applicable ownership level is not required to retain or purchase additional shares if a decline in the price of the common stock causes his or her holdings to fall below the requisite ownership level. For any executive other than the CEO, the Chief Operating Officer (if any), the CFO, and the General Counsel, the required ownership level is reduced by fifty percent on and after the executive’s 60th birthday. All of our Named Executive Officers meet our Stock Ownership Guidelines or are on track to meet the guidelines within the requisite five-year period. No Pledging or Hedging No officer of the Company may pledge, hypothecate, create any lien or security interest on, or enter into a margin contract secured by, any shares, options to purchase shares, or any other interest in shares of KBR common stock. In addition, our anti-hedging policy prohibits all members of our Board of Directors, employees, and agents from (i) speculative trading in our securities; (ii) engaging in hedging transactions using our securities; (iii) “short selling” our securities; and (iv) trading derivative securities, such as put options, call options, swaps, or collars related to our securities. Minimum Holding Period for Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options Our Compensation Committee reviewed whether to adopt a holding period for our restricted stock units and stock options. Our Compensation Committee elected not to adopt a minimum holding period because we have strong stock ownership guidelines, and we adopted a three-year graded vesting schedule for our restricted stock units. Conclusion In a highly competitive market for executive talent, we believe our customers’ and employees’ interests, as well as those of our stockholders and other stakeholders, are well served by our compensation programs. These programs are reasonably positioned among our Core Peer Group, encourage and promote our compensation objectives with a strong emphasis on pay for performance, and permit the exercise of our Compensation Committee’s discretion in the design and implementation of compensation packages. Going forward, we will continue to review our compensation plans periodically to determine what revisions, if any, should be made. 2020 Proxy Statement 57

Retirement and Savings Plan or the KBR Elective Deferral Plan. The actual salary paid may fluctuate due to the timing of payroll processing at each calendar-year end. With respect to Mr. Ibrahim, a portion of his 2018 salary under his expatriate assignment that ended on August 31,2019, was paid on January 4,2019, due to the timesheet and payroll processing cut-off date, which is the primary reason for his 2019 salary in column (c) exceeding his approved 2019 base pay of $519,435. In addition, Mr. Ibrahim’s 2019 salary exceeds his aforementioned approved 2019 base pay due to his pay increase effective September 1,2019, upon assuming his new role as President, Energy Solutions—Services based in Houston, Texas. (2) The amounts in columns (e) represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted in 2017, 2018, and 2019, pursuant to the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The fair values were determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation.” Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are described in note 1 under “Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies” and note 21 under “Share-based Compensation and Incentive Plans” of our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2019, and the comparable disclosures in 2017 and 2018. (3) With respect to the performance cash awards granted in 2017,2018 and 2019, which are based 50% on TSR, and to that extent are included in the value of stock awards in column (e), the assumptions assume the probable outcome of the TSR performance condition, which is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 (excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures). At maximum performance, each performance award unit reported in column (e) would be equal to $2.00. This would give (i) Mr. Bradie a stock awards value under column (e) of $6,000,008 in 2019, $6,000,000 in 2018, and $6,000,010 in 2017; (ii) Mr. Sopp a stock awards value under column (e) of $1,250,012 in 2019, $1,000,013 in 2018, and $1,300,016 in 2017, which comprises $1,000,000 for his annual award and $300,016 for his sign-on award; (iii) Mr. Mujib a stock awards value under column (e) of $1,400,005 in 2019, $1,400,012 in 2018, and $1,400,003 in 2017; (iv) Mr. Ibrahim a stock awards value under column (e) of $850,006 in 2019, $850,014 in 2018, and $850,013 in 2017; and (v) Mr. Mackey a stock awards value under column (e) of$1,000,018 in 2019 and $1,000,013 in 2018. (4) Amounts reportable in column (g) relate to (i) payments under our Performance Pay Plan for 2019,2018, and 2017; and (ii) payments related to the 50% portion of the 2017 performance cash awards that is based on the JIS performance measure and which were granted under our KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. Benefits under our Performance Pay Plan and the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan are payable by their terms during the first quarter of the following year. 2020 Proxy Statement 59

All awards were granted under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, except that the STI was granted under the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan (the “Performance Pay Plan”), which is a performance program under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. (2) The PAs in the Non-Equity and Equity Incentive Plan Awards columns have a target value of $1.00 per unit (not the value of the Company’s common stock), and the PA amounts above represent the total dollar value of the incentive opportunity. Actual STI and PA payments may equal amounts between performance level percentages based on the achievement levels of performance metrics. 2019 STI payments are calculated using the Participant’s annual base salary as determined on January 1, 2019 (or the first day the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Performance Pay Plan if such day occurs after the first day of January). Estimated payments of the portions of the PAs based 50% on TSR and 50% on JIS are each calculated using half of the Participant’s total KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Award granted in 2019. 2020 Proxy Statement 61

 

F Executive Compensation Executive Compensation Tables (3) The restricted stock units in column (l) vest equally over three years. (4) The amounts in column (o) are calculated for RSUs based on the product of the number of RSUs granted and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date and are calculated for PAs based on each PA unit having a grant date fair value of $1.053. These amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table NO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS Our Named Executive Officers do not have employment agreements. Each of our Named Executive Officers entered into severance and change-in-control agreements that only provide for severance-type benefits (including severance following a change in control) (see the section titled “Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements” for more detail). LONG-TERM INCENTIVES During fiscal year 2019, our Named Executive Officers received the following types of plan-based awards under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan (under which the Performance Pay Plan was adopted): (1) an annual short-term incentive (“STI”) award, which is based on achieving pre-established metrics and is paid in cash (see the section titled “Short-Term Incentives (Annual)” for more detail), (2) long-term performance cash awards (“PAs”), which are based 50% on relative TSR and 50% on job income sold (“JIS”) and (3) restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The PAs were granted on February 28, 2019. Each PA has a target value of $1.00. The actual payout, if earned, of a PA at the end of the performance period will be determined based 50% on the level of achievement during the performance period of the comparison of the average TSR (measured with a 20-trading-day average price) of the Company’s common stock at the end of the performance period to the average TSR of each of the common stocks of the members of the peer group for the performance period and 50% on JIS. Specifically, each peer group company’s TSR is measured every quarter, indexed back to the start of the year, and KBR’s similarly calculated average quarterly indexed TSR is ranked relative to its peers. The average quarterly indexed Company’s TSR rank is measured over the three-year performance period, which runs from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. The remaining 50% of the PAs will be determined based on JIS over the same three-year performance period. JIS is the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ job income from (i) new projects awarded and (ii) earnings changes from contract amendments (increases or decreases), or scope adjustments (increases or decreases) to existing projects. JIS is calculated as the average of the achievement levels of the JIS performance metric for each year during the three-year performance period. Like the TSR portion of the 2019 PAs, achievement of Threshold pays out at 25%, Target at 100%, and Maximum at 200%, all weighted 50%. No award will be paid for JIS under the PAs until after the end of the three-year performance period when the average JIS earned will be calculated using the average JIS percentage achieved during each year in the three-year performance period. In addition to the TSR and JIS performance measures, 20% of the PAs granted on February 28, 2019, were subject to forfeiture if our Compensation Committee in its sole discretion determined that 2019 was not a successful year for us. The metric was a one-time metric that if not satisfied at the end of 2019 would result in the forfeiture of 20% of the PAs granted in 2019. In 2019, this performance metric was satisfied. The 50% TSR portion of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 grants of KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards are reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2017, 2018, and 2019, the years in which the awards were granted (rather than in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column in the year they were earned (2019, 2020, and 2021)), because the TSR portion of KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards fell within the scope of FASB ASC 718. The payout for the 50% JIS portion of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards will be reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table in the year earned because the JIS portion does not fall within the scope of FASB ASC 718. Due to the JIS performance requirement being met in 2019 for the 2017 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards, the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table includes the JIS portion of the 2017 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash Awards in 2019. In February 2019, our Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive target values of $6,000,000 for Mr. Bradie, $850,000 for Mr. Ibrahim, $1,000,000 for Mr. Mackey, $1,400,000 for Mr. Mujib and $1,250,000 for Mr. Sopp. Our Compensation Committee established these long-term incentive target values as described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement under the section titled “KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.” Long-term incentive awards were delivered through a combination of cash-based PAs and equity-based RSUs. Our Compensation Committee determined the number of PAs for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 66 %% and dividing the product by $1.00 (the target value of each PA). Our Compensation Committee decided to use $1.00 as the target value for each PA for the purpose of administering and communicating the award. In addition, the use of $1.00 as a target value for each PA is a means of expressing the value of each award since the number of PAs were granted based on the total target value of long-term incentive awards. The actual value of a PA may increase to a maximum of 200% of $1.00, or $2.00, or decrease to below threshold to 0% of $1.00, or $0.00. The value of PAs for performance between threshold and target or target and maximum will be calculated using linear interpolation. 62 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

1 Executive Compensation Executive Compensation Tables A three-year performance award cycle was adopted because of the ability to provide for retention and to align the long-term interest of the Named Executive Officers with our stockholders. The RSUs granted on February 28, 2019, under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan vest in increments of 33 /% annually over three years. Our Compensation Committee determined the number of RSUs for each Named Executive Officer by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 33 /% and dividing the product by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. In addition to the service requirement for vesting, 20% of the restricted stock units that were granted on February 28, 2019, were subject to forfeiture if our Compensation Committee in its sole discretion determined that 2019 was not a successful year for KBR. The metric was a one-time metric that if not satisfied at the end of 2019 would result in the forfeiture of 20% of the restricted stock units granted in 2019. In 2019, this performance metric was satisfied. SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES (ANNUAL) Our Named Executive Officers were eligible to participate in the Performance Pay Plan for the 2019 calendar year. Payouts under the Performance Pay Plan are based on our Named Executive Officer’s individual performance and on the levels of achievement of the Performance Pay Plan’s performance metrics. The pre-established performance metrics for the 2019 calendar year are described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above. During 2019, the short-term incentive award opportunities were based on a percentage of base salary assuming attainment of specified threshold, target, and maximum performance levels, which were, respectively: (i) for Mr. Bradie, 31.25%, 125%, and 250% and (ii) for Messrs. Ibrahim, Mackey and Sopp 21.25%, 85%, and 170% and (iii) for Mr. Mujib 22.5%, 90% and 180%. SALARY AND SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE IN PROPORTION TO TOTAL COMPENSATION Assuming target performance with respect to the long-term incentive awards under our KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, our CEO, Mr. Bradie, received approximately 30.07% of his total compensation in the form of base salary and annual cash-based STI awards, and our Named Executive Officers (other than our CEO) generally received on average approximately 43.28% of their total compensation in the form of base salary and annual cash-based STI awards.

1 Executive Compensation Executive Compensation Tables (1) The awards granted consist of KBR restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance cash awards based on relative TSR, or options under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. (2) With respect to the RSUs granted to Mr. Sopp on February 28,2017, 7,384 unvested units relate to his annual grant and 6,645 unvested units relate to his sign-on grant that he received upon commencement of his employment in February 2017. With respect to the RSUs granted on February 28,2017, February27,2018, and February 28,2019, for all NEOs, the units vest at a rate of 33 ¥3% per year over a three-year vesting period; however, vesting of 20% of the total RSUs granted is also subject to our Compensation Committee’s determination, in its sole discretion, that 2017,2018, and 2019, respectively, were successful years for us, which our Compensation Committee determined they were. (3) Market value in this table is based upon a fair market value of $30.50 per share for KBR common stock, the closing price on December 31,2019 (the last trading day of the year). (4) This column includes 50% of the performance cash awards granted in 2018 and 2019 that are based on TSR and deemed to be stock awards for purposes of this table. These performance cash awards are payable only in cash and cliff-vest, if earned, at the end of the three-year vesting periods (December 31,2020, and December 31,2021, respectively). (5) This column includes the value of performance cash awards based on TSR granted in 2018 and 2019 and represents the threshold cash payout of $0.25 for the number of performance cash awards based on TSR. Under the SEC rules, the payout value reported in this column must be disclosed based on achieving threshold performance goals, except that if performance during the last completed fiscal year (or, if the payout is based on performance to occur over more than one year, the last completed fiscal years over which performance is measured) has exceeded threshold, we must disclose the next higher performance measure (target or maximum) that exceeds the last completed fiscal year’s performance (or, if the payout is based on performance to occur over more than one year, the last completed fiscal years over which performance is measured). The payout of these performance cash awards is not calculated based on the Company’s stock price and accordingly was calculated by using the applicable threshold cash payout amount of $0.25 for each performance award unit. Under SEC rules, if an award provides only for a single estimated payout, that amount should be reported. (6) Mr. Sopp was not granted any options due to commencement of his employment in 2017 as the Company did not grant options to employees from 2016 onward. Option Exercises and Stock Vested The following table shows information for 2019 regarding the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units.

(2) Represents the number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) that vested during the fiscal year 2019, and cash performance awards (“PAs”) granted in 2017 that vested on December 31, 2019. The amounts included under columns (d) and (e) above attributable to the PAs granted in 2017 reflect the TSR-based portion of such PAs. For Mr. Bradie, 112,966 RSUs, 32,359 PSUs, and 2,000,000 PAs vested. For Mr. Sopp, 18,243 RSUs, 2,898 PSUs, and 333,334 PAs vested. For Mr. Mujib, 25,183 RSUs, 6,295 PSUs, and 466,667 PAs vested. For Mr. Ibrahim, 14,651 RSUs, 3,662 PSUs, and 283,334 PAs vested. For Mr. Mackey, 17,350 RSUs, 4,336 PSUs, and 333,334 PAs vested. The JIS-based portion of the PAs that vested in fiscal year 2019 are not included under columns (d) and (e) above but are reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2019. (3) Represents the pretax value realized on stock awards that vested during the fiscal year, computed by multiplying the number of shares acquired on vesting by the closing price of common stock on the vesting date. This also represents the value realized on the 2017 PAs that vested during the fiscal year, computed by multiplying the number of 2017 PAs, with a target value of $1.00, by the TSR metric payout percentage of 100%. Pension Benefits Our Named Executive Officers did not participate in a KBR sponsored pension plan required to be reported under the Pension Benefits table. Accordingly, the Pension Benefits Table has not been included here. 2020 Proxy Statement 65

(2) The amounts in column (c) are reported as compensation for 2019 in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table. (3) Only the above-market earnings in column (d) are reported as compensation for 2019 in column (h) of the Summary Compensation Table. (4) Only the amount of the aggregate balance in column (f) that relates to registrant contributions that are reported in column (c) are reported as compensation in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2019 as well as amounts previously reported in prior Summary Compensation Tables. The amounts disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, both as currently and previously reported, for each NEO are as follows: Mr. Bradie, $127,763; Mr. Sopp, $41,270; Mr. Mujib, $45,576; Mr. Ibrahim, $41,881; and Mr. Mackey, $24,423. NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE TO NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION TABLE Under the Elective Deferral Plan, pretax deferrals of up to 75% of base salary and/or incentive compensation are allowed each year. Participation, however, is completely voluntary. The other plans do not allow employee elective deferrals. Earnings for the Elective Deferral Plan are based upon the executive’s election from among diversified investment options that include both stock and bond funds. Investment elections may be changed by the executive on a monthly basis. Any preferential interest credited above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate is recorded in the Summary Compensation Table. Earnings for the Restoration Plan are credited based on a bond fund in the KBR Elective Deferral Plan, which was above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate. Accordingly, the preferential interest credited above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate is recorded in the Summary Compensation Table. In 2019, our Named Executive Officers received awards under the plan in the amounts shown in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table. Payouts under the Restoration Plan are paid in a lump sum upon termination. Payouts under the Elective Deferral Plan are paid on termination of employment or a specified future date, either as a lump sum or in installments. Withdrawals under the Elective Deferral Plan are allowed in the case of an unforeseeable emergency. ELEMENTS OF POST-TERMINATION COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS In 2013 with respect to Mr. Mujib, in 2014 with respect to Mr. Bradie, in 2015 with respect to Messrs. Ibrahim and Mackey and in 2017 with respect to Mr. Sopp, our Company entered into severance and change-in-control agreements with our Named Executive Officers. Termination events that trigger payments and benefits include change-in-control, normal or early retirement, termination without cause or for good reason, voluntary termination, disability, and death. Post-termination payments may include severance, accelerated vesting of restricted stock and stock options, maximum payments under cash-based short- and long-term incentive plans, nonqualified account balances, and health benefits among others. See the section below titled “2019 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” for more detail on estimated potential payments and benefits under Messrs. Bradie, Ibrahim, Mackey, Mujib and Sopp’s severance and change-in-control agreements. Further, see the section titled “Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements” after the “2019 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” table for a description of: (a) the specific circumstances that would trigger payments and benefits, (b) the appropriate payment and benefit levels as determined under the various circumstances that trigger payments and benefits, (c) any material conditions or obligations applicable to the receipt of payments or benefits, and (d) any other material factors regarding the severance and change-in-control agreements. 66 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

(2) The Table includes amounts payable to the Named Executive Officers if they remained employed through December 31,2019, pursuant to the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan (STI), as reported in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table. If a Named Executive Officer is terminated for “cause” (as defined under the applicable plan/program), all such executive’s rights to payment would be automatically forfeited. Also, the Table does not include those benefits that are generally available to all employees. (3) The Table does not include the exercisable stock options reflected in column (b) of the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table because such options were fully vested prior to December 31,2019. No amounts are shown for stock options in the Table as there were no unvested stock options as of December 31,2019. (4) Assumes for purposes of change-in-control with termination, retirement, death, and disability that payout for the Performance Awards will be at target. Performance Awards are fully vested on a change-in-control termination but are prorated on retirement, death, and disability. While the value of the 2017 Performance Awards are included in the Change in Control with Involuntary Termination column based on target as required pursuant to applicable reporting rules, those awards actually paid out at 192.5% of target. (5) Cash severance includes welfare costs in the case of a change in control with involuntary termination or termination not for cause or voluntary for good reason. Cash severance does not include amounts that may be paid to the Named Executive Officers under the severance plan generally available to all employees of the Company, as they are not eligible for that plan while party to an individual severance agreement. (6) Retirement is discretionary and subject to the approval of the CEO, or in the case of our Senior Executive Management, it is subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee. 2020 Proxy Statement 67

 

F Executive Compensation Executive Compensation Tables Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements Our Compensation Committee approved severance and change-in-control agreements for Messrs. Bradie, Ibrahim, Mackey, Mujib and Sopp, along with certain other senior executive officers of the Company. CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD TRIGGER PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS The Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) the executive’s termination of employment with the Company or (ii) in the event of a change-in-control during the term of the Agreement, two years following the change-in-control. The Agreement provides for (i) severance termination benefits (prior to a change-in-control), (ii) double-trigger change-in-control termination benefits (on or after a change-in-control), and (iii) death, disability, and retirement benefits. Under the Agreement, “cause,” “good reason,” and “change-in-control” are defined as follows: “Cause” means any of the following: (i) the executive’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the duties and services required of him by the Company; (ii) the executive’s conviction of, or plea other than not guilty to, a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or (iii) a material violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct. However, prior to a change-in-control, “cause” also means the executive’s failure to perform, in a reasonably satisfactory manner, the duties and services required of him by the Company, provided that the Company gives the executive at least 10 days’ written notice to cure the failure. “Good Reason” means any of the following: (i) a material diminution in the executive’s base salary, (ii) a material diminution in the executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, including, with respect to Mr. Bradie, the failure to maintain him in the position of CEO of the Company or nominate him to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors, or (iii) unless agreed to by the executive, the relocation of the offices at which the executive is principally employed to a location more than 50 miles away. However, prior to a change-in-control, “good reason” means a 25% or more diminution in the executive’s base salary, unless a similar reduction is made to the base salaries of all senior executive officers of the Company, and with respect to Mr. Bradie, it also means (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “good reason” above. “Change-in-Control” is generally triggered upon any of the following: (i) a person acquires 20% or more of the voting power of the Company, (ii) the majority of our Board of Directors changes, (iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company (unless it still controls a majority of the voting stock), (iv) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (v) a sale, disposition, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, the Named Executive Officer dies or becomes disabled, then the Company will provide him with the following benefits: (a) the executive’s unearned bonus under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan payable for the fiscal year in which the executive’s date of termination occurs, with such bonus amount determined at the end of the performance period in accordance with the plan, and then such earned amount (if any) (x) prorated to the executive’s date of termination and (y) paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such annual bonuses under the plan, but not later than the March 15lh following the end of the performance period, (b) the executive’s unpaid bonus (if any) accrued under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan for the fiscal year that ended on or immediately before the executive’s date of termination, which accrued bonus shall be paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such bonuses under the plan, but not later than the March 15lh following the end of such prior performance period, (c) the restrictions on all restricted stock and restricted stock units of the executive shall lapse in full on his date of termination, (d) all stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) of the executive shall become fully vested and exercisable on his date of termination and may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of his date of termination, unless otherwise provided by our Compensation Committee, in its discretion, or (ii) the remaining term of such option or SAR, (e) all outstanding performance awards of the executive shall be prorated to his date of termination and to the extent such awards become “earned” based on actual performance results at the end of the performance period, shall be paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such awards under the plan, but not later than the March 15lh following the end of the performance period, and (f) all account balances of the executive in all supplemental and/or non-qualified retirement plans of the Company and its affiliates shall become fully vested on his date of termination. If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, the Named Executive Officer retires, then the Company will provide him with the above death and disability benefits, except that the executive may only exercise his stock options and SARs until the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of his date of termination, unless otherwise provided by our Compensation Committee, in its discretion, or (b) the remaining term of such option or SARs. If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, the Named Executive Officer voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason other than a “good reason” or retirement, the executive will not be entitled to any payments or benefits and his vested stock options and SARs must be exercised within 30 days of the date of his termination, but not later than the option or SAR expiration date. If, prior to, on, or after a change-in-control, the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by the Company for “cause,” the executive will not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits. If, prior to a change-in-control, the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by us (except for “cause”), or if the Named Executive Officer terminates his employment for “good reason,” the Company will provide the executive with the following benefits: (a) a lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of: (i) one (two with respect to Mr. Bradie) year’s base salary in effect at termination plus (ii) (two times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the executive’s annual target bonus opportunity, (b) all vested stock options and SARs may be exercised within the one-year period following his date of termination, but not later than the remaining term of the option or SARs, and (c) all unvested stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards 68 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

1 Executive Compensation Executive Compensation Tables shall be forfeited, unless and to the extent provided otherwise by our Compensation Committee, in its discretion, with respect to non-performance awards. Notwithstanding the above, with respect to Messrs. Mackey and Sopp, who have Agreements that provide graded severance termination benefits based on service time with the Company, the Company will provide the same benefits as described above except that the lump-sum cash payment will be graded as follows: (i) one half of one year’s base salary in effect at termination if the termination date occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the executive’s employment commencement date with the Company; (ii) one year’s base salary in effect at termination if the termination date occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the executive’s employment commencement date with the Company but after the first anniversary of executive’s employment commencement date with the Company; or (iii) one year’s base salary in effect at termination plus the executive’s annual target bonus opportunity if the termination date occurs after the second anniversary of the executive’s employment commencement date with the Company. If both (1) a change-in-control occurs and (2) on, or within two years after the change-in-control, the Company involuntarily terminates the Named Executive Officer’s employment without cause or the Named Executive Officer terminates his employment for “good reason” then, the Company will provide them with the following change-in-control termination benefits: (a) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of: (i) two times (three times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the executive’s base salary in effect at termination (or, if higher, the executive’s base salary in effect immediately prior to the change-in-control) plus (ii) two times (three times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the executive’s annual target bonus opportunity, (b) the executive’s unearned bonus under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan payable for the fiscal year in which the executive’s date of termination occurs, with such bonus amount determined at the end of the performance period in accordance with the plan, and then such earned amount (if any) (x) prorated to the executive’s date of termination and (y) paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such annual bonuses under the plan, but not later than the March 15lh following the end of the performance period, (c) the executive’s unpaid bonus (if any) accrued under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan for the fiscal year that ended on or immediately before the executive’s date of termination, which accrued bonus shall be paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such bonuses under the plan, but not later than 74 days following the executive’s termination of employment with the Company, (d) all the outstanding stock options, SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, and other equity based awards granted by the Company to the executive that are not performance awards shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable or payable in full on the effective date of the release required under the Agreement, provided such release is timely executed by the executive following his termination of employment with the Company, (e) all performance award units other than those that are covered under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan, shall become fully vested and paid at target performance as soon as administratively feasible following his termination of employment with the Company, but not later than March 15th following the year in which he terminated employment with the Company, (f) all account balances in any supplemental and/or nonqualified retirement plans shall become fully vested, and (g) welfare plan costs equal to two times (three times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the total annual cost to the executive and the Company of the medical, dental, life, and disability benefits provided to the executive and the executive’s eligible dependents by the Company for the year of the executive’s termination. DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE PAYMENT AND BENEFIT LEVELS UNDER THE VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES THAT TRIGGER PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS Our Compensation Committee engaged AonHewitt, its previous compensation consultant, to assist in the development of the Agreement. In February 2008, AonHewitt presented a comprehensive overview of market practices of severance and change-in-control benefits among our then Core Peer Group, as well as, AonHewitt’s knowledge of general market practices and emerging trends. In addition, AonHewitt provided our Compensation Committee with a proposed severance and change-in-control program that was consistent with the median of such Core Peer Group. Our Compensation Committee elected to move forward with the proposed program, except that our Compensation Committee wanted to make severance payments (without a change-in-control) more difficult to trigger as compared to the terms of the companies in such Core Peer Group. Further, our Compensation Committee elected to add a broad two-year clawback provision. Our Compensation Committee asked its Chairman to work with AonHewitt, in-house legal counsel, and outside legal counsel to prepare the Agreement consistent with these suggestions. In May 2008, AonHewitt presented the revised program, with all the potential costs associated with the suggested Agreement. After further review, and advice from outside legal counsel that the Agreement was more favorable to KBR than our peer companies with respect to severance (without a change-in-control) payment triggers and that it was consistent with our peer companies with respect to severance following a change-in-control, our Compensation Committee approved the Agreement in May 2008. Since May 2008, our Compensation Committee has regularly reviewed the Agreement to ensure it remains consistent with the median of our most current Core Peer Group, which is reviewed annually. 2020 Proxy Statement 69

 

F Executive Compensation Executive Compensation Tables MATERIAL CONDITIONS OR OBLIGATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS OR BENEFITS As a condition to receive the severance benefits upon a termination by the Company (except for “cause”) or a resignation by the executive for “good reason” or retirement, the executives must first execute a release and full settlement agreement. The Agreement also contains customary confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation covenants, as well as a mandatory arbitration provision. In addition, the Agreement contains a clawback provision that allows the Company to recover any benefits paid under the Agreement if the Company determines within two years after the executive’s termination of employment that his employment could have been terminated for cause. The Agreement provides that all unvested stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards granted to the executives by the Company will be forfeited upon severance (without a change-in-control). Such awards, however, will fully vest upon a double-trigger change-in-control termination. No Employment Agreements The Company has no employment agreements with its Named Executive Officers. Each of our Named Executive Officers has entered into severance and change-in-control agreements that only provide for severance-type benefits, as described in the above section. CEO Pay Ratio In 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a rule to implement the pay ratio disclosure requirement mandated by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act. In doing so, the Commission stated its belief that, in order for data points provided by the rule to be of use to investors, the pay ratio rule “should be designed to allow stockholders to better understand and assess a particular registrant’s compensation practices and pay ratio disclosures rather than to facilitate a comparison of this information from one registrant to another.” KEY PROVISIONS OF THE RULE ARE: • Companies must provide pay ratio disclosures for their first fiscal year that starts on or after January 1, 2017. • Under the rule, companies must disclose: (1) the median of the annual total compensation of all employees (other than the CEO); (2) the annual total compensation of the CEO; and (3) the ratio between those two numbers. • The SEC did not exclude part-time, seasonal, or temporary employees from the pay ratio calculation. Independent contractors and leased workers may be excluded. • Companies are required to include non-U.S. employees in their calculation, but they may exclude employees who reside in foreign jurisdictions where it would not be feasible to obtain salary information without violating local data privacy laws. In addition, there is a de minimis provision that allows companies to omit up to 5% of their foreign employees based on data privacy or any other reason. • In determining the median employee, companies may select any date within the last three months of their fiscal year. • Companies are permitted to identify the median employee once every three years, unless there is a change in its employee population or compensation arrangements that would result in a significant change in its ratio. • Companies may use statistical sampling in identifying the median employee, but they must disclose their methodology used in calculating that number. Pay Ratio Methodology and Calculation Determination of Employee Population We determined that, as of December 31, 2019 (which is the date we chose to identify our median employee), our employee population consisted of approximately 27,301 individuals working for the company and its consolidated subsidiaries, with approximately 13,104 of these individuals located in the U.S. and approximately 14,197 located in other countries. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, external, and temporary employees (we do not have seasonal workers) and excluded approximately 10,000 employees working in joint ventures that are not consolidated subsidiaries of KBR and who are not otherwise our employees. This population also excluded approximately 1,244 external individuals working for the company, whose take home pay is not controlled by the company. We excluded 5% of our total employees in the following non-U.S. jurisdictions: approximately 585 employees from Poland, 559 employees from Russia, 67 employees from Afghanistan, 38 employees from Germany, 11 employees from Finland, 3 employees from Norway, 2 employees from each of Somalia. Switzerland and Trinidad & Tobago and 1 employee from France. As a result, the total number of employees used to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees was approximately 26,031, of which approximately 13,104 were located in the U.S. and approximately 12,927 were located in other countries. 70 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

1 Executive Compensation Director Compensation Consistently Applied Compensation Measure We used total cash compensation for 2019 (without making any cost-of-living adjustment) as a consistently applied compensation measure to identify our median employee. Short- and long-term equity-based incentives were excluded from our compensation measure since such incentives are not broad-based and including them would not substantially impact the determination of our median employee. Total cash compensation is a relatively broad measure of pay and may not include equity-based compensation. The Company chose not to use earnings reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-2 for employees in the U.S. because it would include equity-based compensation and is not a measure that can be easily applied consistently to employees outside of the U.S. Compensation of employees who were on unpaid leave of absence was annualized. Data Gathering While the rule allows for statistical sampling and/or “other reasonable methods,” data collection was performed for all employees as it would have been costly to analyze how to create a subgroup that was representative for the entire employee population given that the non-U.S. employees included in the calculation are based in approximately 50 countries. Pay Ratio Calculation After we identified our median employee, we combined all the elements of such employee’s compensation for the 2019 year in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $63,885. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used $11,300,645, which is the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2019 Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference under Item 11 of Part III of our Annual Report. Based on this information, for 2019 the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was reasonably estimated to be 177:1. Director Compensation In 2019, all non-executive Directors received an annual retainer of $100,000 except for Loren K. Carroll, the former Chairman of the Board. Mr. Carroll received half of the annual retainer due to his retirement from the Board on May 15, 2019. An additional annual retainer of $125,000 was paid to the non-executive Chairman of the Board. In 2019, General Lyles assumed the role of non-executive Chairman of the Board upon Mr. Carroll’s retirement. As a result, General Lyles and Mr. Carroll received prorated annual retainers for their service as non-executive Chairman of the Board in 2019. The Chairman of each committee also received an additional annual retainer as follows: Audit—$20,000; Compensation—$15,000; Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Social Responsibility—$10,000; and Nominating and Corporate Governance—$10,000. With respect to the additional annual retainer for the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if the non-executive Chairman of the Board is concurrently serving as the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the non-executive Chairman of the Board will not receive the annual retainer for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman in addition to the annual retainer for the non-executive Chairman of the Board. In 2019, General Lyles served as both the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and non-executive Chairman of the Board. As a result, General Lyles received a prorated annual retainer for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman for his service as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman until he assumed the role of non-executive Chairman of the Board. As recommended by our Compensation Committee, in 2019 each of our non-executive Directors received an annual award of $150,000 worth of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The vesting period is six-month cliff vesting. Our Board of Directors established stock ownership guidelines for the non-executive Directors in an effort to link more closely the financial interests of the non-executive Directors with those of KBR’s stockholders. Non-executive Directors are required to own KBR stock in an amount equal to five times the non-executive Director annual cash retainer within five years of joining the Board of Directors. All of our non-executive Directors who have served at least five years are in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines. In December 2013, based on the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board of Directors adopted a nonqualified elective deferral plan for non-executive Directors. The plan, which became effective January 1, 2014, permits non-executive Directors to make an annual election to defer payment of some or all of their cash retainers and equity compensation for the following year. The non-executive Directors also have the option to elect to have their cash compensation converted to RSUs. For the 2019 plan year, General Lyles elected to defer 50% of his cash compensation and 100% of his equity compensation into the plan, and Mr. Blackwell elected to defer 100% of his equity compensation into the plan. Our Compensation Committee reviews the competitiveness of the compensation of our non-executive Directors at least annually. The results of the most recent review were presented to our Board in December 2019, and no changes were made to the compensation of our non-executive Directors. The last change approved by our Board was to increase the value of the annual award of RSUs from $110,000 to $150,000 beginning in the 2018 calendar year and for each subsequent calendar year to bring the Company’s average non-executive director compensation closer to the median of its peers. Prior to the increase in value of the annual award of RSUs, the last change approved by our Board was to increase the additional annual retainer for the Chairman of the Audit Committee from $15,000 to $20,000 beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016. There have been no increases to the additional annual retainers for the chairmen of the other committees since 2012. In addition, there has been no increase to the annual retainer since 2010, and prior to the increase in August 2018, the last increase to the annual award of RSUs was in 2012. 2020 Proxy Statement 71

 

F Executive Compensation Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The following table sets forth certain information with respect to KBR’s director compensation for non-executive Directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Name’1 Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($)(2) Stock Awards ($)® Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings ($)(4) All Other Compensation ($)(5) Total ($) (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Mark E. Baldwin 120,000 150,018 — 17,324 287,342 James R. Blackwell 102,500 150,018 — 7,732 260,250 Loren K. Carroll 96,875 150,018 — — 246,893 Lester L. Lyles(6) 181,875 150,018 8,129 6,715 346,737 Wendy M.

Pickard 110,000 150,018 — 18,531 278,549 Umberto della Sala 100,000 150,018 — 11,661 261,679 (1) Directors who were also full-time officers or employees of KBR received no additional compensation for serving as directors. (2) Director fees reflect fees earned in 2019, including fees that may have been deferred into the KBR Non-Employee Directors Elective Deferral Plan. Mr. Carroll retired from the Board in May 2019 and therefore did not earn his annual retainer or additional annual non-executive Chairman of the Board retainer for the full year of 2019. General Lyles assumed the role of non-executive Chairman of the Board upon Mr. Carroll’s retirement and therefore earned a prorated additional annual non-executive Chairman of the Board retainer. In addition, because the non-executive Chairman of the Board will not receive the annual retainer for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman in addition to the annual retainer for the non-executive Chairman of the Board if the non-executive Chairman of the Board is concurrently serving as the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, General Lyles received a prorated annual retainer for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman for his service as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman until he assumed the role of non-executive Chairman of the Board in 2019. (3) The amounts in column (c) represent the grant date fair value of awards granted in 2019 pursuant to the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The fair values were determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation.” Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are described in note 1 under “Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies” and note 21 under “Share-based Compensation and Incentive Plans” of our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2019. Dividends paid on the stock awards are not reported separately in this table because they are already factored into the grant date fair value. All Directors were fully vested in their restricted stock units at the end of 2019. (4) The amount in column (d) reflects the above-market or preferential earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation in General Lyles’s cash retainer account under the KBR Non-Employee Directors Elective Deferral Plan. (5) The amounts in column (e) reflect travel expenses for spouses to accompany the Directors to one board meeting in 2019 and the reimbursement of the taxes associated with the payments of these expenses. The tax reimbursements for the spousal travel expenses equal $6,930 for Mr. Baldwin, $3,093 for Mr. Blackwell, $2,686 for General Lyles, $2,975 for Lt. General Masiello, $6,949 for Mr. Moore, $7,412 for Ms. Pickard, and $4,664 for Mr. della Sala. (6) General Lyles elected to defer 50% of his annual cash retainer payable for 2019 into the KBR Non-Employee Directors Elective Deferral Plan. Accordingly, he actually received only half of the amount in column (b) in cash in 2019. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions We perform many of our projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our revenues or expenses. We recognize the profit on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting primarily using the percentage-of-completion method. Related Person Policies Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy requiring its approval of any transactions involving our directors, executive officers or any nominees for director and any greater than 5% stockholders and their immediate family members. The types of transactions covered by this policy are transactions, arrangements or relationships or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) we (including any of our subsidiaries) were, or will be a participant, (2) the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any calendar year, and (3) any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or holding less than a 10 percent beneficial ownership interest in another entity), and which is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to be disclosed in our public filings. The Board of Directors will only approve transactions with related persons when the Board of Directors determines such transactions are in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Board of Directors will apply the following standards and such other standards it deems appropriate: 72 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

1 Executive Compensation Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance • whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances; • whether the transaction is material to us or the related person; • the role the related person has played in arranging the related person transaction; • the structure of the related person transaction; • the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; and • whether there are alternative sources for the subject matter of the transaction. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires KBR’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of KBR’s equity securities, to file with the SEC and the NYSE initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock of KBR. To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that such reports accurately reflect all reportable transactions and holdings, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and during 2020 through the date of this proxy statement, all officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements with one exception. A Form 4 filing for an acquisition of KBR stock related to a grant of restricted stock units awarded to a new executive officer was filed two business days after the deadline due to a delay in obtaining the SEC EDGAR filing codes for the officer. # KBR’s Kenneth (“Ken”) Gilbert, who has worked as a flight activity coordinator for seven years, posing in front of the MH-60 Knighthawk. The Knighthawk is the U.S. Navy’s multi-mission helicopter, which conducts logistics, search and rescue, medical evacuation and armed helicopter operations, special warfare support and airborne mine countermeasures. Ken’s team provides the U.S. Navy and other service branches a variety of flight test, training, and related support services. They are part of KBR’s flight test team, the world’s largest independent flight test organization. Ken’s team was dispatched on a rescue call where two hikers fell forty feet in the mountains near the California-Nevada state line. The hikers’ injuries included rib fractures, head injuries and potential shock, which made it impossible to descend the mountainous terrain on their own. From a 50 foot hover, Ken directed two medical aircrewmen to rappel to the top of the steep 5,500-ft. peak where the Navy aircrew completed a medical evaluation. The crew then hoisted the hikers safely up into the aircraft and transported the couple to the nearest emergency medical facility in Las Vegas. 2020 Proxy Statement 73

 

F Executive Compensation Proposal No. 2 — Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation Proposal No. 2 — Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the advisory vote to approve our NEOs’ compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement. Properly dated and signed proxies, and proxies properly submitted over the Internet and by telephone, will be so voted unless stockholders specify otherwise. As required by Section 14A(a)(1) of the Exchange Act, the Board of Directors is providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) as disclosed in this proxy statement. The ninth stockholder advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation since the initial public offering of KBR’s common stock was held last year at KBR’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under KBR’s Bylaws, the 2019 advisory vote was in favor of approval of our named executive officer compensation, that choice having been selected by the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. Our Compensation Committee considered the results to be in support of our compensation policies and decisions but noted the much lower approval rating in 2019 versus 2018, and specifically sought input of our investors on the reason for this. The second advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes to approve named executive officer compensation was held at KBR’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under KBR’s Bylaws, the advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation was in favor of one year, with that period having been selected by the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. In light of these voting results, KBR’s Board of Directors determined that KBR will hold an advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation each year until the results of the next advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes to approve named executive officer compensation are reviewed at the 2023 annual meeting. Executive Compensation Our Compensation Committee establishes, recommends and governs all the compensation and benefits policies and actions for KBR’s NEOs, as defined above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Executive Summary.” Consistent with our compensation philosophy, our executive compensation program has been designed to achieve the following primary objectives: • provide a clear and direct relationship between executive pay and Company (and business segment, as applicable) performance, both on a short- and long-term basis; • emphasize operating performance measures; • link executive pay to measures of stockholder value; • support our business strategies and management processes in order to motivate our executives; and • generally target base salary, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and total compensation levels near the 50lh percentile of the competitive market for good performance, and above the 50lh percentile of the competitive market for consistent, outstanding performance over time, but we also consider other factors, including differences in our position responsibilities compared to our peers, experience, retention risk, and internal equity. In consideration of these objectives, KBR provides pay that is highly dependent on performance (both short- and long-term) in order to align total compensation with stockholder interests. Performance pay represents the majority of our CEO’s compensation as a percentage of total compensation. We continually review best practices in governance and executive compensation. In observance of such best practices, KBR: • does not maintain employment agreements with the NEOs; • does not provide excise tax gross-ups; • has incentive plans that discourage undue risk and align executive rewards with short- and long-term company performance; and • requires executives to satisfy stock ownership requirements. For the reasons discussed above, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the following resolution: “RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.” While the resolution is non-binding, the Board of Directors values the opinions that stockholders express in their votes and in any additional dialogue. It will consider the outcome of the vote and those opinions when making future compensation decisions. __* & 74 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

Audit Matters Audit Committee Report Audit Committee Report KBR’s Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board that outlines the responsibilities of, and practices followed by, the Committee. A copy of the Charter is available on KBR’s website, www.kbr.com, by choosing “Our Company” under the “About Us” menu, then selecting “Corporate Governance” and “Board Committees.” We review and reassess the charter annually and recommend any changes to the Board of Directors for approval. We met 10 times in 2019 and this report summarizes the activities of the Committee during those meetings. KBR’s management is responsible for preparing KBR’s financial statements and the principal independent accountants are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee’s role is to provide oversight of management in carrying out management’s responsibility and to appoint, compensate, retain and oversee the work of the principal independent accountants. Primary Responsibilities and 2019 Actions The Audit Committee assists the Board in overseeing the accounting and financial reporting process and integrity of the financial statements of the Company; the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements; and the performance of the internal audit function, internal accounting controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting. In 2019, in fulfilling these responsibilities, among other things, we: • Met with senior members of the Company’s financial management team at each meeting; • Held separate private sessions, during regularly scheduled meetings, with each of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, General Counsel, and Head of Internal Audit, providing an opportunity for candid discussions regarding financial management, legal, accounting, auditing, and internal controls matters; • Reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s earnings releases and the financial results for each quarterly period and for the fiscal year as set out in the Company’s Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K prior to filing with the SEC; • Received periodic reports on management’s process to assess the adequacy of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting, the framework used to make the assessment, and management’s conclusions on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting; • Met with the Chief Information Officer to review and discuss cybersecurity initiatives, a review of data privacy and security controls, and measures implemented to improve systems and processes; • Reviewed and discussed with senior management significant risks and exposures identified by management and the Company’s processes related to risk assessment and management, including the Company’s enterprise risk management process; • Reviewed and discussed with senior management, including the Head of Internal Audit, prior period adjustments and significant changes in estimates of costs to complete certain engineering, procurement and constructions projects and the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and the quality of the Company’s financial reporting; • Met with the General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer to receive status reports on compliance matters and to discuss the effectiveness of the Company’s compliance program; • Discussed with the Company’s financial management the plans and procedures for implementation of FASB Accounting Standards Update No, 2016-02 Leases, and the anticipated impact of the new standard on the controls and financial statements of the Company; • Reviewed and discussed with senior management major financial risk exposures, including a review of the funding valuation and investment processes of the Company’s pension plan in the UK, a review of tax planning, tax valuation allowances and certain tax positions, and periodic reviews of the financial covenants under the Company’s revolving credit agreement and liquidity positions and analysis; and • Reviewed the Company’s internal audit plan, received individual audit reports, discussed with management measures implemented in response to internal audits, and reviewed the performance of the Company’s internal audit function. Oversight of Independent Auditors In addition to the responsibilities described above, the Audit Committee oversees the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the independence, qualifications, and performance of the independent auditors. In fulfilling our oversight role for the year ended December 31, 2019, under the Audit Committee’s charter, among other things, we reviewed and discussed with KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent auditors and principal independent accountants, as well as with senior members of the Company’s financial management team, the overall audit scope and plan, the results of the external audit, and evaluations by KPMG LLP of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, the quality of the Company’s financial reporting, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and critical audit matters. KPMG LLP also reported to us on significant accounting judgments and estimates made by management in preparing the financial statements as well as their analysis and assessment of significant risks. We also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be communicated pursuant to the standards 76 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

Audit Matters Audit Committee Report promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. We discussed with KPMG LLP their assessment of their independence, including with respect to the tax services provided by 2019 Audited Financial Statements Based on our review of the audited financial statements, discussions with management and with KPMG LLP, and our review of KPMG LLP’s written disclosures and letter, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in KBR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, for filing with the SEC. Our recommendation considers our review of that firm’s qualifications as independent accountants for the Company. Our review also included matters required to be considered under SEC rules on auditor independence, including the nature and extent of non-audit services. In our judgment the nature and extent of non-audit services performed by KPMG LLP during the year did not impair the firm’s independence. After discussions with management, considering KPMG LLP’s historical and recent performance of KBR’s audit, the capabilities and performance of the audit team, and KPMG LLP’s independence, them, and received the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with us concerning independence. the Committee concluded that it would be in the best interests of KBR and its stockholders to retain KPMG LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements for KBR for 2020 and recommend that such appointment be ratified by stockholders at the 2020 annual meeting of the Company.

Audit Matters Proposal No. 3 — Ratify the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm PRE-APPROVAL POLICY The Audit Committee is directly responsible for appointing, setting compensation for and overseeing the work of KPMG, our principal independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has established written pre-approval policies requiring approval by the Audit Committee of all services to be provided by KPMG and all audit services provided by other independent accountants. The policy provides that all audit, audit-related and tax services to be provided by KPMG will be described in a written plan submitted to the Audit Committee annually for pre-approval. The Audit Committee, its Chairman or another Audit Committee member designee must pre-approve any audit, audit-related or tax services to be provided by KPMG that were not submitted for annual pre-approval if the fees to be paid for such services will exceed $150,000. All other services for fees in excess of $50,000 must be specifically approved in the same manner as audit, audit-related and tax services greater than $150,000. Any services provided by KPMG must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee if the fees are $250,000 or greater. The policy also provides that all audit services to be provided by independent public accountants other than KPMG will be described in writing and presented to the Audit Committee by our Chief Accounting Officer annually for pre-approval. Any audit services not included in the annual pre-approved plan must be approved in the same manner as unplanned audit, audit-related and tax services to be provided by KPMG. As permitted by the SEC, to ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, our policy allows for the delegation of the Audit Committee’s pre-approval authority under the policy to the Chairman or another member of the Audit Committee designated by the Audit Committee or the Chairman. Any pre-approval decisions by the Audit Committee Chairman or other Audit Committee designee will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly-scheduled meeting following any such decisions. Proposal No. 3 — Ratify the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm * The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements for KBR as of and for the year ending December 31, 2020. Properly dated and signed proxies, and proxies properly submitted over the Internet and by telephone, will be so voted unless stockholders specify otherwise. KPMG LLP has audited the financial statements of KBR and its predecessor beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. A resolution will be presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of that firm as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of KBR as of and for the year ending December 31, 2020. The engagement of KPMG LLP was made by the Audit Committee. KPMG LLP has advised that neither the firm nor any member of the firm has any direct financial interest or any material indirect interest in KBR. Also, during at least the past three years, neither the firm nor any member of the firm has had any connection with KBR in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. As a matter of good corporate governance, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors submits the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, to our stockholders for ratification. The proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020, but the Audit Committee may also elect to retain KPMG LLP. Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such change would be appropriate. __& 78 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

The election inspectors will treat shares held in street name that cannot be voted by a broker on specific matters in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, known as broker non-vote shares, as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. In determining the outcome of any matter for which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, however, those shares will not have any effect on that matter. Those shares may be entitled to vote on other matters for which brokers may exercise their own discretion.

Additional Information Questions and Answers About KBR’s Annual Meeting Who is soliciting my proxy to vote my shares? KBR’s Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy, or your authorization for our representatives to vote your shares. Your proxy will be effective for the May 13, 2020, meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting. What constitutes a quorum? For business to be conducted at the meeting, a quorum constituting a majority of the shares of KBR common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote must be in attendance or represented by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Chairman of the Board or a majority of stockholders present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting, without notice other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting, until a quorum is present. How do I give voting instructions? As described on the enclosed proxy card, proxies may be submitted: • over the Internet, • by telephone, or • by mail. Votes submitted over the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Tuesday, May 12, 2020. To attend online and participate in the Annual Meeting, stockholders of record will need to use their control number on their Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card to log into virtualshareholdermeeting.com/KBR2020; beneficial stockholders who do not have a control number may gain access to the meeting by logging into their brokerage firm’s website and selecting the stockholder communications mailbox to link through to the Annual Meeting; instructions should also be provided on the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank, or other nominee. Can I change my vote? You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by: • giving notice of the revocation in writing to KBR’s Corporate Secretary at 601 Jefferson Street, Houston, Texas 77002; • submitting another valid proxy by mail, telephone, or over the Internet that is later dated and, if mailed, is properly signed; or • voting in person (including virtually) at the meeting. What are voting requirements to elect the directors and approve each proposal? To be elected to the Board of Directors in an uncontested election (where the number of nominees equals the number of Board seats available), the number of votes cast “for” a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” the nominee. In accordance with Article III, Section 3 of our Bylaws, any director nominee who is not elected must tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors and all committees of the Board after the certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would then assess the appropriateness of such nominee continuing to serve as a director and would make its recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors would act on the tendered resignation, and publicly disclose its decision and rationale within 120 days following the certification of the stockholder vote. If the election is contested (if there are more nominees than Board seats), directors will be elected if they receive a plurality of the votes cast. With respect to each matter other than the election of directors, proposals will be adopted if they garner the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of KBR’s common stock present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. If my shares are held in “street name” (by my broker), how will they be voted? Your broker cannot vote your shares held in street name without instructions from you, except with regard to the ratification of auditors. If you do not give voting instructions for the proposals regarding the Board of Directors or executive compensation, your shares will not be voted. 82 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com

 

Additional Information Questions and Answers About KBR’s Annual Meeting This is known as a broker non-vote. Broker non-votes will not be counted or affect the outcome of any proposal. Please vote your shares as promptly as possible by returning your instructions to your broker. What happens if I abstain or withhold my vote on any proposal? Abstentions are counted as present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. Abstentions from voting will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election of directors. With respect to each matter other than the election of directors, abstentions will be included in the voting tally and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Why didn’t I receive a paper copy of the proxy materials? To expedite delivery, reduce our costs, and decrease the environmental impact of our proxy materials, we used “Notice and Access,” which relies on an SEC rule that permits us to provide proxy materials electronically. By March 30, 2020, we sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to many of our stockholders containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials online. If you received a Notice, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail. Instead, the Notice explains how to access and review the proxy materials online. The Notice also explains how you may submit your proxy to ensure your shares are voted as you wish. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a copy of our proxy materials, follow the instructions contained in the Notice to request paper copies. Stockholders who do not receive the Notice will continue to receive either a paper or an emailed electronic copy of our proxy statement and Annual Report, which will be sent on or about March 30, 2020. We encourage you to help us reduce printing and mailing costs by signing up for electronic delivery of KBR stockholder communications. With electronic delivery, you will receive documents such as the Annual Report and the proxy statement as soon as they are available. Electronic delivery also can help reduce the number of bulky documents in your personal files and eliminate duplicate mailings. To sign up for electronic delivery, please follow the instructions on your proxy card to vote by Internet at www.proxyvote.com and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access stockholder communications electronically in future years. What is “householding?” We are sending only one copy of KBR’s annual meeting materials to stockholders who share the same address and last name unless one of those stockholders has notified us that they want to continue receiving multiple copies. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs. If you received a householded mailing this year and you would like to have additional copies of the Annual Report or proxy statement mailed to you, or you would like to revoke your consent to the householding of documents for the future, please call 1-866-540-7095. You will begin to receive individual copies within 30 days after your request. Unfortunately, householding for stockholders who hold their shares in street name is limited to accounts within the same bank or brokerage firm. For example, if you and your spouse share the same last name and address, and you each have an account containing KBR stock at two different brokerage firms, your household will receive two copies of the notice or meeting materials — one from each brokerage firm. To reduce the number of duplicate sets of the notice or meeting materials your household receives, you may wish to enroll some or all of your accounts in our electronic delivery program. See “Why didn’t I receive a paper copy of the proxy materials?” What if I want to introduce a proposal or nominate a director at the 2020 meeting? In order for stockholder proposals or director nominations to have been properly submitted for presentation at our upcoming annual meeting, we must have received notice of the proposal or nomination between January 14, 2020, and February 13, 2020. Proposals and nominations must comply with Article II, Section 9 of our Bylaws. We will disregard any proposal or nomination that does not comply with these requirements. Even if you comply with these requirements, KBR is not obligated to include the proposed business or nominee in our proxy solicitation materials. What if I want to introduce a proposal or nominate a director at the 2021 meeting? If you wish to present a proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2021, you must submit the proposal in writing to our Corporate Secretary at 601 Jefferson Street, Suite 3400, Houston, Texas 77002, and we must receive that proposal not later than November 30, 2020. Proposals submitted for inclusion in our proxy materials must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act. 2020 Proxy Statement 83

 

Additional Information Additional Information Available You also may nominate candidates at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2021 in the manner provided in Article II, Section 9 of our Bylaws, but such nominees will not necessarily be included in KBR’s proxy statement. The Bylaws provide that a stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may nominate one or more candidates for election to the Board by complying with required notice procedures. Any such nomination for the 2021 annual meeting must be made pursuant to written notice to our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth above, and must be received between November 30, 2020 and December 30, 2020. The proposed nominee may be required to furnish other information as KBR may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as a director. At any meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer may disregard the purported nomination of any person not made in compliance with these procedures. How much will this proxy solicitation cost? The cost of soliciting proxies will be paid by KBR. We retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to aid in this solicitation. For these services, we will pay D.F. King & Co., Inc. $8,500 and reimburse that firm for out-of-pocket expenses. Some executive officers and other employees of KBR also may solicit proxies personally, by telephone, mail, facsimile or other means of communication, if deemed appropriate, but will not receive additional compensation for these efforts. KBR will, upon request, reimburse banks, brokers or other persons holding stock in their names or in the names of their nominees for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of KBR common stock. Will any other issues be raised at the meeting? As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no business that will be presented at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders other than the matters described in this proxy statement. If any other matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for action by stockholders, proxies will be voted on those matters in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting the proxies. Additional Information Available KBR files an Annual Report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Stockholders may obtain a copy of this report (without exhibits), without charge, by writing to KBR’s Investor Relations Department at 601 Jefferson Street, Suite 3400, Houston, Texas 77002. Forward Looking Statement This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future financial performance and other information that is not historical. When used in this proxy statement, the words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions, which are made in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement. Additional information about potential risk factors that could affect our business and financial results is included in our most recently filed Form 10-K, any subsequent Form 10-Qs and 8-Ks, and any other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Filings. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this proxy statement, which speak only as of the date hereof. We disclaim any intent or obligation, except as required by law, to revise or update this information to reflect new information or future events or circumstances. ____8> c 84 2020 Proxy Statement www.kbr.com
