INTRODUCTION

 

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is filed by Fluor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Registrant”), relating to 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, to be issued pursuant to the Fluor Corporation Amended and Restated 2008 Executive Performance Incentive Plan.  In accordance with General Instructions E to Form S-8, the Company hereby incorporates herein by reference the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-150857) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2008, together with all exhibits filed therewith or incorporated therein by reference.

 

Item 6.                                                         Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation — a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification in which the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Article Thirteenth of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the full extent that the DGCL, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  Any amendment to or repeal of such Article Thirteenth shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

Article Fourteenth of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to its employees and agents with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors.

 

In addition, the Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executive officers.  The agreement confirms the obligations of the Company to indemnify the indemnified parties to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.  The agreement also provides that the Company will advance, if requested by an indemnified person, any and all expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding, subject to reimbursement by the indemnified person should a final judicial

determination be made that indemnification is not available under applicable law.  The Company further agrees that its obligations under the agreement continue after the indemnified party is no longer serving the Company with respect to claims based on the indemnified party’s service at the Company.
