2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Approval of 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan Aligns with Stockholder Interests
2019 LTIP will replace 2016 LTIP and the CB&I LTIP
Adoption of 2019 LTIP is necessary to continue our
equity-based long-term incentive program and to avoid
having to potentially increase significantly the cash
component of our executive compensation program in
order to remain competitive and adequately
compensate our employees
In determining the number of shares to make
available under the 2019 LTIP, the Compensation
Committee considered:
Key historical stock usage data under the 2016
LTIP
Advice of Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC,
the independent compensation consultant
Expected dilution resulting from the 2019 LTIP
Number of
shares reserved
Annual Limits on
Employee Grants
Minimum Vesting
Key Changes from 2016 LTIP
2016 LTIP
12,000,000
Maximum annual per person
grant of 3,000,000 shares
subject to options.
Maximum annual per person
grant of 3,000,000 shares in
the form of restricted stock or
restricted stock units.
Maximum annual cash
payout of $12,000,000 per
person for performance units.
Awards to employees
subject to a minimum
vesting period of one year
from the date of grant,
subject to an exception for
up to 5% of the shares
reserved.
2019 LTIP
2,475,000, plus unused shares reserved
from prior plans
No provision. As a result of the
elimination of the performance-based
compensation exception under Section
162(m) of the Code, these per person
limitations are no longer necessary.
Annual limits on director awards remain
in place.
All awards (including director awards) will
have a minimum vesting period of one
year from the date of grant, subject to
exceptions for up to 5% of the shares
reserved as well as for director grants that
vest at the next annual meeting.

Our Board believes incentive awards are critical to attracting, retaining and engaging highly qualified employees
and to aligning their financial interests with the financial interests of our stockholders
