(d)           Election of Directors.

KBR announced the appointment of James R. Blackwell to its Board of Directors effective August 18, 2014, to fill a vacancy created when John R. Huff retired from the Board of Directors.  Mr. Blackwell will serve a term expiring at KBR’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.  Mr. Blackwell has been appointed to serve on the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Blackwell is an employee of Chevron Corporation and will continue in such capacity through March 2015.  Chevron Corporation is the largest customer for KBR, accounting for 26% of our gross revenue in fiscal year 2013.  The full text of the press release announcing Mr. Blackwell’s election is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1

Like KBR’s other non-employee directors, Mr. Blackwell was granted an annual award of shares of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended, valued at approximately $110,000.  The closing price of KBR’s common stock on August 18, 2014, the date of grant, was $21.20, resulting in a grant of 5,189 shares of RSUs.  The restrictions on the RSUs lapse six months after the grant date.   Additionally, the RSUs contain the same acceleration of vesting and forfeiture provisions as all other RSU grants to the other members of the Board of Directors.  The full text and a summary of the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended, is included in KBR’s Proxy Statement relating to KBR’s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders, as filed with the Commission on April 5, 2012; (File No. 1-33146)
