EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) amends Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, originally filed on February 21, 2018 (the “Original Filing”) by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (“CB&I”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or “the Company”). We are filing this Amendment to include information previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that registrants may incorporate by reference certain information from a definitive proxy statement that involves the election of directors, provided that the definitive proxy statement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year. Due to the Company’s previously announced and pending merger with McDermott International, Inc. the Company does not anticipate that a definitive proxy statement that involves the election of directors will be filed within 120 days of the end of the Company’s fiscal year. Accordingly, Part III of the Original Filing is hereby amended as set forth below.

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits under Item 15 of Part IV to this Amendment.

Except as stated herein, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing and no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update other disclosures presented in the Original Filing. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Filing have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the filing of the Original Filing, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

Arrangements between Officers and Directors

To our knowledge, there is no arrangement or understanding between any of our directors or officers and any other person, including directors or officers, pursuant to which the director or officer was selected.

Family Relationships

None of our directors or officers are related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any other director, executive officer, or other key employee.

Legal Proceedings

Except as set forth herein, we are not aware of any of our directors or officers being involved in any legal proceedings in the past ten years relating to any matters in bankruptcy, insolvency, criminal proceedings (other than traffic and other minor offenses) or being subject to any of the items set forth under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our members of the Supervisory Board, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common shares to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common shares (Forms 3, 4 and 5) with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). All such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all such forms that they file and we receive written representations by certain reporting persons with respect to whether a Form 5 was required. To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us and on written representations by certain reporting persons that no reports on Forms 3, 4 or 5 were required to be filed by them, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2017, our Supervisory Board, executive officers and 10% shareholders complied with all Section 16(a) requirements applicable to them.

Code of Ethics

We have a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal financial officer). Our Code of Ethics is available on our website at investors.cbi.com/corporate-governance.

If we amend, modify or waive a provision in our Code of Ethics, we may satisfy the disclosure requirement by posting such information on our website. Our website is not a part of this Amendment.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require that the Chairman of the Supervisory Board be a non-executive. The Supervisory Board separates the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Supervisory Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles and the commitment required by each role. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the non-executive Chairman of the Supervisory Board (the “Non-Executive Chairman”), as an independent leader, to lead the Supervisory Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. The Supervisory Board recognizes the time, effort and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, and the commitment required of the Non-Executive Chairman to properly fulfill his role. The Supervisory Board believes this structure is appropriate for the Company not only because of the size and composition of the Supervisory Board, the scope and complexity of the Company’s operations and the responsibilities of the Supervisory Board and management, but also as a demonstration of our commitment to good corporate governance.

While the Supervisory Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, four Supervisory Board committees assist the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The Supervisory Board exercises its risk oversight authority through various processes and procedures adopted by the Supervisory Board’s Audit Committee, Strategic Initiatives Committee, Corporate Governance Committee and Organization and Compensation Committee.

The Audit Committee assists the Supervisory Board in its involvement in the Company’s risk management process by providing oversight for the:


•	integrity of the Company’s financial statements;


•	Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;


•	Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence;


•	performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and our internal audit function; and


•	Company’s system of disclosure and internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics.

The Strategic Initiatives Committee, chaired by the Non-Executive Chairman, participates in and, in certain instances, oversees significant core activities of the Company. The Strategic Initiatives Committee deals directly with risk-related issues facing the Company as the Committee carries out its duties to:


•	review and approve on behalf of the Supervisory Board contracts, purchase orders, subcontracts and change orders in the ordinary course of business whose price exceeds the approval authority of the Chief Executive Officer;


•	review and make recommendations to the Supervisory Board with respect to matters brought to its attention by the Chief Executive Officer in the ordinary course of business that exceed his approval authority under the authority matrix adopted by the Supervisory Board; and


•	review and discuss matters brought to its attention by the Chief Executive Officer that the Strategic Initiatives Committee finds appropriate.

The Corporate Governance Committee participates in identifying and managing risks facing the Company through its responsibility to the Supervisory Board to:


•	provide perspective on economic, business and technology trends and events that could cause the Company to change the allocation of resources among its existing businesses or to enter new business, and to review the business planning process of the Company;


•	review various policies and practices of management in the areas of corporate governance;


•	establish and review corporate goals and objectives;


•	consider the overall relationship of Supervisory Board members and the Company’s management; and


•	develop, review and recommend to the Supervisory Board a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company.

The Organization and Compensation Committee undertakes risk oversight of the Company’s compensation programs through its responsibility to the Supervisory Board to:


•	establish and review the Company’s overall compensation philosophy, strategy and guidelines so that the design of the Company’s compensation programs does not encourage excessive risk taking;


•	establish and review annual incentive and long-term incentive compensation plans so that they do not create risks reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company; and


•	establish and review corporate goals and objectives supported by the Company’s compensation programs so that rewards are aligned with the interests of shareholders.

Based on information and reports received by the Supervisory Board from these committees and from regular or special Supervisory Board meetings, appropriate guidance and involvement can be directed to areas that may expose the Company to risks in operation, legal compliance, financial reporting and other aspects of the business of the Company. The Non-Executive Chairman works with the Chief Executive Officer during the strategic planning process to ensure management strategies, plans and performance metrics are communicated to the Supervisory Board and concerns of the Supervisory Board are addressed in the development of these plans. He also attends and participates in quarterly management review meetings in which, as part of the review of the Company’s overall performance, various risk issues are identified and addressed.

Nominations for Directors/Director Qualifications

The Nominating Committee of the Supervisory Board is responsible for screening potential members of the Supervisory Board and recommending qualified candidates to the Supervisory Board for nomination. Although the Nominating Committee has not established any specific minimum qualifications to be met by a nominee to be a member of the Supervisory Board, it assesses a diverse number of specific factors such as independence, judgment, business experience, financial knowledge and expertise, technical skills and knowledge, knowledge of our core business, international background and experience and other particular skills to enable a Supervisory Board member to make a significant contribution to the Supervisory Board, the Company, and our shareholders. Set forth in Appendix I to the Nominating Committee Charter (“Appendix I”), available through our website, investors.cbi.com/corporate-governance, are diverse and relevant criteria and characteristics and specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to be considered by the Nominating Committee in identifying nominees to be a member of the Supervisory Board, including:


•	holding a position as a chief executive officer or chief operating officer or running a significant division of a public company;


•	knowledge of our core business, including contracting, energy, building materials (steel) and chemicals;


•	knowledge of international business;


•	technological expertise;


•	financial adeptness, liability/equity management and human relations skills;


•	participation on other boards;


•	education;


•	ability to serve for at least five years;


•	compatibility with existing Supervisory Board, management and the Company corporate culture; and


•	independence, as defined in the standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The Nominating Committee and the Supervisory Board prefer nominees who will contribute to a board that is diverse in terms of business training, experience across a range of industries, leadership, background and education. The Nominating Committee and the Supervisory Board consider how a specific nominee contributes to the diversity of the Supervisory Board by identifying a nominee’s experience and background and determining how such experience and background will complement the overall makeup of the Supervisory Board. The Nominating Committee identifies nominees through the use of third-party entities whose practice includes outside director searches and by conducting its own searches primarily based on personal knowledge and recommendations of other members of the Supervisory Board and our management. Nominees are evaluated by the Nominating Committee as a whole with reference to Appendix I. The Nominating Committee does not solicit director nominees but will consider and evaluate shareholder recommendations that meet the criteria set forth in Appendix I in the same manner as it evaluates other potential nominees.

The Supervisory Board has five standing committees to assist the Supervisory Board in the execution of its responsibilities. These committees are the Audit Committee, the Organization and Compensation Committee, the Nominating Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee, and the Strategic Initiatives Committee. Each committee is composed of a minimum of three members of the Supervisory Board (except the Corporate Governance Committee, which consists of all non-management members of the Supervisory Board) who satisfy the independence requirements required by the Exchange Act, the rules adopted thereunder, the listing standards of the NYSE in effect from time to time and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Each committee functions under a charter adopted by the Supervisory Board. Each charter can be accessed through our website, investors.cbi.com/corporate-governance, and is available in print to any shareholder who requests it.

Nominating Committee

The current members of the Nominating Committee are Mr. Bolch (Chairman), Ms. Williams and Messrs. Flury and Kissel. The Supervisory Board has determined that Ms. Williams and Messrs. Bolch, Flury and Kissel are each independent as defined in the Exchange Act and under the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

The Nominating Committee met one time during 2017. Its primary duties and responsibilities include the following:


•	identification, review, recommendation and assessment of nominees for election as members of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board;


•	recommendation to the Supervisory Board regarding size, composition, proportion of inside directors and creation of new positions of the Supervisory Board;


•	recommendation of the structure and composition of, and nominees for, the standing committees of the Supervisory Board;


•	recommendation of fees to be paid to non-employee members of the Supervisory Board; and


•	review of conflicts or potential conflicts of interest to ensure compliance with our Code of Ethics and our Code of Conduct and making recommendations to the Supervisory Board concerning the granting of waivers.

Audit Committee

The current members of the Audit Committee are Ms. Williams (Chairman), and Messrs. McVay and Alexander, and Ms. Fretz. The Supervisory Board has determined that Mses. Fretz and Williams and Messrs. McVay and Alexander are each independent as defined in the Exchange Act and under the NYSE Listed Company Manual and Mr. Alexander and Mses.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This compensation discussion and analysis (“CD&A”) explains our executive compensation program for our current named executive officers (“NEOs”) listed below. The CD&A also describes the Organization and Compensation Committee’s (the “Committee”) process for making pay decisions, as well as its rationale for specific decisions related to fiscal 2017.



Current NEOs		Title
Patrick K. Mullen		President and Chief Executive Officer
Michael S. Taff		Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
James W. Sabin		Executive Vice President, Global Operations Services
Duncan N. Wigney		Executive Vice President, Engineering & Construction
Daniel M. McCarthy		Executive Vice President, Technology

During fiscal 2017, two of CB&I’s named executive officers, Philip K. Asherman, former President and Chief Executive Officer, and Luke V. Scorsone, former Executive Vice President, Fabrication Services, terminated employment. Compensation details related to their terminations of employment are described under Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change Of Control below. Further details related to their fiscal 2017 compensation are contained in the required tables following the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Mr. Mullen was promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer on July 1, 2017 upon Mr. Asherman’s termination of employment.

Executive Summary

According to compensation survey and proxy data provided to the Committee and reviewed by Pearl Meyer, aggregate target total direct compensation established by the Committee for our current NEOs for 2017 was 89.5% of the aggregate market median. The terms and conditions of realized actual 2017 compensation of the current NEOs were affected by the December 18, 2017 approval by CB&I’s Supervisory Board of a business combination agreement between McDermott International, Inc. (“McDermott”) and CB&I (the “Business Combination Agreement”). The approval of the Business Combination Agreement triggered a change-in-control under the current NEOs’ change-in-control agreements as described under Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change of Control. December 18, 2017 is referred to hereafter as the “Change-in-Control Date.”

2017 Shareholder Engagement & Say-On-Pay

We value the input of our shareholders regarding our compensation practices. We maintain a proactive investor relations program, and during our interactions with shareholders over the course of the year, we routinely discuss various performance metrics that drive management compensation. Specifically, management discussed the variable pay programs with significant institutional investors leading up to our 2017 shareholders’ meeting. Further, our Committee continues to review the design of our programs in order to ensure that they are aligned with the interests of our shareholders. In 2017, approximately 75% of the votes cast (excluding abstentions) supported our executive compensation decisions.

Best Compensation Practices & Policies

The following practices and policies are embedded in our NEOs’ compensation program to promote sound compensation governance and serve the best interests of our shareholders and executives:



What We Do		What We Do Not Do
þ	Heavy emphasis on variable compensation	ý	No tax gross-ups from 2008 forward on termination payments following a change in control
þ	A majority of the regular annual long-term incentive grants are performance-restricted	ý	No repricing of stock options without shareholder approval
þ	Stock ownership guidelines	ý	No cash buyout of underwater stock options without shareholder approval
þ	Clawback policy	ý	No payment of dividends on performance-based shares until those shares are earned
þ	Independent compensation consultant	ý	No hedging of Company stock
þ	Annual risk assessments
þ	Measure both absolute and relative performance metrics in the long-term incentive program

WHAT GUIDES OUR PROGRAM

The Guiding Principles of Our Compensation Philosophy

Our compensation policies and practices are grounded by the following guiding principles:

•

Create a strong link between pay and performance, as well as foster a culture of ownership - Incentive plans should use a range of performance metrics tied to key financial goals and strategic milestones focused on the drivers of long-term shareholder value. A significant portion of an executive’s total compensation should be variable/at risk and dependent on the achievement of these goals and milestones. Executives should have significant outright ownership of Company stock.

•

Provide competitive opportunities for compensation commensurate with roles, responsibilities and performance - We must compete with a wide variety of construction, engineering, heavy industrial, process technology and related firms in order to engage, develop and retain high-caliber talent. To this end, target total compensation should be competitive relative to our comparator companies, while providing incentive opportunities that can be well above (or below) the peer group median, depending upon actual performance. However, executives newly-promoted to their roles likely will have target total compensation below the market median.


•	Promote sound compensation governance aligned with shareholder interests - Total compensation should be reinforced by best practice governance standards. It should also encourage prudent decision-making and prevent excessive risk-taking behaviors through sound and rigorous processes, policies and practices.

The Principal Elements of Pay

Our compensation philosophy is supported by the following principal elements in our executive compensation program:



Element	Form	Purpose
Base Salary	Cash (Fixed)	Provides a competitive rate relative to similar positions in the market, and enables us to attract and retain critical executive talent
Annual Incentive Compensation	Cash (Variable/At Risk)	Rewards the achievement of annual financial goals and short-term strategic milestones that drive profitable growth and shareholder value creation
Long-Term Incentive Compensation	Equity (Variable/At Risk)	Provides incentives to execute on longer-term financial and strategic growth goals that drive shareholder value creation and support our retention strategy

Pay Mix

The charts below show the annual target compensation (base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation) of our CEO and other NEOs for 2017. These charts illustrate that a majority of NEO target compensation is variable and tied to either Company performance or stock price (86% for our CEO and 82% in aggregate for our other NEOs).

Vast Majority of NEO Pay is Variable/At Risk, Tied to the Company’s Performance and Stock Price

Our Decision Making Process

The Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Committee is comprised of independent, non-employee members of the Supervisory Board. The Committee works closely with its independent consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of our executive compensation program throughout the year. Details of the Committee’s authority and responsibilities are specified in its charter, which may be accessed through investors.cbi.com/corporate-governance.

The Role of the Organization and Compensation Committee. The Committee typically reviews independent market data covering base salary, annual incentive compensation opportunities and long-term incentive target values for all executive officers for the coming year at its regularly scheduled autumn meeting and then establishes executive officer target compensation levels for the following fiscal year at its December meeting. Using the findings and conclusions of our strategic planning process together with an assessment of other data, management develops its business plan for the following year. The business plan is then presented to the Supervisory Board generally at its regularly scheduled February meeting in that following year. At its regularly scheduled February meeting, taking into account the Company’s long-term strategy and annual business plan, the Committee reviews and approves the annual incentive compensation performance targets, as well as our long-term incentive award performance targets for awards granted in that year, for executive officers. In setting 2017 targets for incentive compensation financial metrics, the Committee acted within the context of a continuing challenging market environment in the global energy industry, and as in 2016, some project owners elected to defer or limit investment in new infrastructure. The Committee also reviews actual performance against the plan, retaining discretion as to the final incentive compensation for subsequent approval. The Committee may set salary and grant cash incentive awards and equity awards for executive officers at other times to reflect promotions, new hires or other special circumstances.

The Role of Management. The CEO does not participate in the Committee’s determination of his own compensation. However, he makes recommendations to the Committee for each of the other NEOs. The CEO bases these recommendations on his assessment from market data compiled for the Committee by the independent compensation consultant against each executive’s personal performance, as well as overall Company goals for the fiscal year. The Committee reviews the CEO’s recommendations, makes adjustments as it determines appropriate, and approves compensation in its sole discretion.

The Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant. In considering the executive compensation recommendations of management and determining the compensation of the CEO and those officers reporting directly to him for 2017, the Committee received advice and recommendations from Pearl Meyer. At the Committee’s request, Pearl Meyer evaluated the Company’s compensation practices and assisted in developing and implementing our executive compensation program consistent with its stated compensation philosophy. Pearl Meyer reviewed the Company’s total compensation pay levels and design practices and offered its comments on comparator companies, benchmarks and how the Company’s compensation programs are actually succeeding in meeting the Company’s business objectives. During 2017, Pearl Meyer made recommendations to the Committee

at its request, independently of management, on executive compensation generally and on the individual compensation of executive officers. Pearl Meyer participated in selected Committee meetings, including executive sessions independent of management, to discuss executive compensation matters.

The Committee has analyzed whether the work of Pearl Meyer as a compensation consultant has raised any conflicts of interest, taking into consideration, among other things, the following factors: (i) the provision of other services to the Company by Pearl Meyer; (ii) the amount of fees from the Company paid to Pearl Meyer as a percentage of Pearl Meyer’s total revenue; (iii) the policies and procedures of Pearl Meyer that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationship of the individual compensation advisors who serve the Committee with any member of the Committee; (v) any stock of the Company owned by such individual compensation advisors; and (vi) any business or personal relationship of Pearl Meyer or the individual compensation advisors employed by Pearl Meyer who serve the Committee with an executive officer of the Company. The Committee has determined, based on its analysis in light of the factors listed above, plus written assurance from Pearl Meyer, that the work of Pearl Meyer and the individual compensation advisors employed by Pearl Meyer as compensation consultants to the Company, has not created any conflicts of interest.

The Role of Competitive Positioning and Peer Groups. We set base salary, annual incentive and long-term incentive compensation opportunities and target total compensation annually considering a variety of factors including the competitive market from proxy data of our comparator peer group (discussed below) and compensation surveys, as well as an assessment of each executive officer’s performance. This process provides guideposts for establishing the mix of pay for our executives, in terms of short-term versus long-term compensation and in terms of cash versus equity compensation. We do not target a specific mix of pay for our executive officers. Long-term incentive compensation, which we typically grant in the form of equity-based awards, made up well over 50% of target total compensation for our CEO and in aggregate for our other NEOs in 2017, reinforcing alignment of our executive officers with our shareholders.

We target total compensation (base salary, target annual incentives and target annual long-term incentive value) for each of our executive officers to confirm that it is appropriate for the position, and make adjustments where appropriate. We target executive officers’ total compensation to be competitive relative to our comparator companies, taking into account the executive’s tenure in the position and recent performance where appropriate. Executive officers then have the potential through incentive compensation to earn actual total compensation at a level that can be above or below the peer group median target compensation, depending upon performance.

As noted previously, aggregate target total direct compensation for our NEOs in 2017 was below the aggregate market median, in part due to the recent promotion of Mr. Mullen and Mr. Wigney to their roles as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering & Construction, respectively. An individual executive’s salary, annual incentive opportunity, and long-term incentive opportunity may be higher or lower relative to the competitive market depending on a variety of factors specific to the position or the incumbent.

We also review our benefits package from time to time and consider the practices of comparable companies for specific types of benefits. Data provided by Pearl Meyer indicates that the nature of the benefits we provide are competitive with those offered by our comparator companies. Related to Mr. Mullen’s promotion to Chief Executive Officer in 2017, Pearl Meyer reviewed our executive perquisites and concluded they are not excessive.

The Committee reviews and approves the selection of comparator companies based on their size, business, and presence in our geographic areas. The list of comparator companies we use may change from year to year based on Pearl Meyer’s recommendations and our Committee’s evaluation of those factors. We used the comparator companies listed below to review executive officer compensation, which assisted the Committee in establishing executive officer pay for fiscal 2017. CB&I’s revenue was at the 66th percentile of the peer group companies’ revenue at the time Pearl Meyer conducted its annual compensation study and was 124% of the group’s median revenue of approximately $10 billion. Prior to Mr. Mullen’s promotion, an updated review of comparator companies’ CEO compensation was conducted, and the peer group median revenue remained approximately $10 billion.

THE 2017 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM IN DETAIL

Base Salary

Base salaries provide an underlying level of compensation to executives to attract highly experienced executive talent and maintain a stable management team. Base salaries reflect the executive’s position and role, with some variation for individual factors such as experience and performance. The Committee, based on discussion with its independent compensation consultant and management, approved the following adjustments for fiscal year 2017:



NEO	December 31, 2016 Base Salary (1)	December 31, 2017 Base Salary (1)	% Change (2)
Patrick K. Mullen	$800,000	$1,100,000	37.5%
Michael S. Taff	$703,490	$703,490	—%
James W. Sabin	$479,980	$479,980	—%
Duncan N. Wigney	$489,175	$500,000	2.2%
Daniel M. McCarthy	$639,630	$639,630	—%

(1)

Base salary amounts reflect each executive’s designated base salary level as of the last day of the relevant calendar year, and include adjustments made during the calendar year. Amounts shown do not reflect the total base salary paid for such calendar year. The actual amount of base salary paid to each executive during each relevant calendar year is listed in the Summary Compensation Table below.

(2)

Mr. Mullen was promoted to Chief Executive Officer in July 2017, and his percent increase reflects his larger role in the Company relative to his prior Chief Operating Officer role. Mr. Wigney was paid in British pounds until his relocation to the United States. The value shown on December 31, 2016 was based on an exchange rate of 1.00 GBP = 1.23321 USD. The Committee used market data in 2016 to establish his salary at $500,000 upon his relocation to the United States in early 2017. The other NEOs did not receive increases in fiscal 2017 from the time of their last salary increases in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

Annual Incentive Compensation

Performance-based incentive compensation gives our executives an opportunity for cash compensation tied to the annual performance of the Company pursuant to the terms of the annual Incentive Compensation Program (the “ICP”). The executive officers’ incentive compensation opportunity recognizes their senior-level responsibilities and duties and the competitive environment in which we must recruit and retain our senior management. Actual payouts depend on the achievement of pre-established performance objectives. Payouts can range from 0% to 200% of target award amounts. Target annual incentive compensation opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary and were established based on the NEO’s level of responsibility and ability to impact overall results. The Committee also considers market data in setting target award amounts. Target award opportunities for 2017 were as follows:



NEO		December 31, 2017 Target Award Opportunity (as a % of Base Salary)
Patrick K. Mullen		130%
Michael S. Taff		90%
James W. Sabin		90%
Duncan N. Wigney		90%
Daniel M. McCarthy		90%

The Committee annually establishes a set of performance metrics, which drive the annual cash incentive awards for the NEOs. These pre-determined performance metrics are chosen to ensure our NEOs are focused on measures that drive profitable growth and shareholder value creation. Once the payout level under the annual ICP’s terms has been determined, the Committee may reduce, but not increase, the amount paid to our executive officers.

2017 Performance Results

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement with McDermott entered into on December 18, 2017, a change-in-control occurred for purposes of the change-in-control agreements for our NEOs who were employed as of that date. As a result, a prorated target bonus through the Change-In-Control Date was paid to each NEO in December 2017, and the balance of the target bonus was paid in the ordinary course in March 2018.

The table below illustrates the performance levels necessary to achieve threshold, target and maximum payout amounts, along with actual results for 2017. Performance between threshold and target levels and between target and maximum levels, would have been determined for the NEOs by linear interpolation.



Performance Metric		Weighting	Threshold	Target	Maximum	Actual	Target Payout % Achieved
Income from Operations		40%	$521M	$651M	$749M	Below Threshold	—%
Revenue (1)		20%	$7.3B	$9.1B	$10.5B	$8.3B	78%
Free Cash Flow (2)		20%	$390M	$487M	$560M	Below Threshold	—%
Safety measured by:
Lost Workday Rate		5%	0.05	0.05	0.03	0.01	200%
Recordables		5%	0.38	0.38	0.25	0.23	200%
Policy and Procedure Implementation Score		10%	4.78	4.83	4.98	4.93	167%
	Overall Weighted Achievement Percentage:						52%


(1)	Revenue includes our pro-rata share of revenue for our unconsolidated equity method joint ventures. Revenue also includes six months of revenue from the Capital Services Operating Group that was divested on June 30, 2017.


(2)	Free cash flow is defined as EBITDA (income from operations plus depreciation and intangible amortization) plus changes in contract capital (including advances related to our unconsolidated equity method joint ventures) less capital expenditures and noncontrolling interests.

Based on the above results, had a change-in-control not occurred, the NEOs would have received the following annual cash incentives for 2017:



NEO	Target Award Opportunity (Paid)	Actual Award Earned (Not Paid) (1)
Patrick K. Mullen	$1,430,000	$746,460
Michael S. Taff	$633,141	$330,500
James W. Sabin	$431,982	$255,495
Duncan N. Wigney	$450,000	$405,000
Daniel M. McCarthy	$575,667	$300,498

(1)

These values represent the ICP payout if actual performance would have been factored into the calculation. However, as previously noted, under the change-in-control agreements, each NEO employed on the change-in-control date received a target ICP award payout calculated by using their base salary multiplied by their target award opportunity as a percent of base salary on the date of the change-in-control. See Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change Of Control for additional information.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

In keeping with our commitment to provide a total compensation package that favors equity elements of pay, long-term incentives traditionally have comprised a significant portion of an executive’s total compensation package. Our objective is to provide executives, when targets are achieved, with long-term incentive award opportunities that are competitive with our comparator companies; however, the actual realization of the opportunity is dependent on the degree of achieving the financial performance or other conditions of the award and the creation of long-term value for shareholders. Because of our focus on pay for performance, various forms of long-term incentive compensation are key elements of pay for our executive officers.

In 2017, our annual long-term incentive compensation grants were made using a combination of performance shares and restricted stock units. The historical percentages of performance shares and restricted stock units as a percentage of grant date value is shown below:



Equity Award Type	CEO	Other NEOs
Performance Shares Performance shares are earned and vest in three tranches (33 1/3% per year) over three 1-year performance periods, provided performance targets are achieved and certified by the Committee	70%	60%
Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units vest in four equal tranches (25% per year) on the anniversary of the grant date	30%	40%

Mr. Mullen was Chief Operating Officer in February 2017 when the Company granted its annual long-term incentive awards, and he later received a grant of restricted stock units in June 2017 related to his promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer after our prior Chief Executive Officer terminated employment. In addition, Mr. Taff received a retention grant of restricted stock units in June 2017. Mr. Mullen and Mr. Taff’s percentages of performance shares and restricted stock units for both grant dates in 2017 are shown below:



Equity Award Type in Fiscal 2017	Mr. Mullen	Mr. Taff
Performance Shares Performance shares are earned and vest in three tranches (33 1/3% per year) over three 1-year performance periods, provided performance targets are achieved and certified by the Committee	32%	43%
Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units vest in four equal tranches (25% per year) on the anniversary of the grant date; however Mr. Taff’s retention grant in June 2017 vests 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date	68%	57%

As previously noted, the change-in-control impacted the realized actual 2017 compensation of the NEOs, and, pursuant to the change-in-control agreements with our NEOs employed as of the change-in-control date, all outstanding long-term awards vested upon the change-in-control. See Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change Of Control for additional information.

Performance shares are comprised of two types of equity-based vehicles as shown in the table below.



Program Element	Performance Metrics	Portion of Award
Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Performance Shares	EPS	80%
Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Performance Shares	Total Shareholder Return relative to the FLM Global Engineering & Construction Company Index	20%

When granting long-term incentives, we consider each executive officer’s levels of responsibility, prior experience, historical award data, various performance criteria and compensation practices at our comparator companies. Applying these factors to our benchmark gives us a target dollar value for executive officer long-term incentive awards. These awards are recommended and approved in the form of this target dollar value. Upon approval of this target dollar value and the vehicles for the award by our Committee, this target dollar value is converted into a number of shares based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the Committee meeting, during which the awards are approved. The table below shows the target dollar values granted for the annual fiscal 2017 long-term incentive award in February 2017 for each of the NEOs, the promotion award for Mr. Mullen in June 2017 and the retention award for Mr. Taff in June 2017:



NEO	February 2017 Annual Awards	June 2017 Awards	Total Target Value in Fiscal 2017
Patrick K. Mullen	$3,000,000	$2,500,000	$5,500,000
Michael S. Taff	$2,633,000	$1,000,000	$3,633,000
James W. Sabin	$1,013,000	—	$1,013,000
Duncan N. Wigney	$1,250,000	—	$1,250,000
Daniel M. McCarthy	$2,220,000	—	$2,220,000

Performance Shares Earned and Vested for the 2017 Performance Period

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement with McDermott, entered into on December 18, 2017, a change-in-control occurred for purposes of the change-in-control agreements with each of our named executive officers who were employed as of that date. As a result, pursuant to the change-in-control agreements, the performance shares held by each of our NEOs who was still employed on December 18, 2017, vested at target as of such date.

Had a change-in-control not occurred, for NEOs, the number of performance shares that were earned and vested for each annual award tranche in a performance period would have depended upon the performance achievement shown below. Performance between threshold and target levels and between target and maximum levels, would have been determined by linear interpolation.



Performance Achievement Levels		Number of Shares Earned and Vested
Below Threshold		0%
Threshold		50%
Target		100%
Maximum		200%

The following tables show the value of the performance shares that would have been earned and vested for the 2017 performance period, absent the occurrence of the change-in-control under the change-in-control agreements:



Year of Grant	Award Tranche	Annual EPS Performance Targets (1)			Actual Performance Achieved	Percentage of Target Shares Earned and Vested (2)
Year of Grant	Award Tranche	Threshold	Target	Maximum	Actual Performance Achieved	Percentage of Target Shares Earned and Vested (2)
2015	3 of 3	$4.89	$5.40	$5.93	Below Threshold	0%
2016	2 of 3	$4.17	$5.13	$5.73	Below Threshold	0%
2017	1 of 3	$3.16	$3.95	$4.54	Below Threshold	0%


(1)	In accordance with the plan document, in 2017 the Committee modified the EPS targets for the performance shares to account for the divestiture of the Capital Services Operations that closed on June 30, 2017.


(2)	As previously noted, pursuant to the change-in-control agreements with each NEO employed by the Company as of December 18, 2017, all outstanding long-term awards vested at the target number of performance shares upon the change-in-control. See Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change Of Control for additional information.

OTHER PRACTICES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We maintain stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers requiring that they hold certain amounts of our stock. They are:



Title		Multiple of Base Salary
CEO		5.0x
Chief Operating Officer		3.0x
Executive Vice President		3.0x
Vice President		1.0x

Based on industry practice, we allow a five-year period for our executives to meet the stock ownership targets from the date of appointment to the executive position, with periodic progress reporting to the Committee. As of December 31, 2017, any NEOs who did not meet our stock ownership guidelines had remaining time to do so. The following count toward stock ownership: stock purchased in the open market; stock acquired through stock option exercise; restricted stock units acquired through vesting; unvested restricted stock units; performance shares acquired through vesting; performance shares granted and unvested at target; stock held in the CB&I 401(k) program; and stock held in the employee stock purchase plan.

Clawback Policy

If there is a restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to misconduct or fraud, we have a formal policy to recover, at the direction of the Committee in its sole discretion, all or any part of incentive payments (or, in the case of a stock award, the value realized by sale of the stock) that exceeds the amount that would have been paid to an individual based on the Company’s restated financial statements. For this purpose, misconduct or fraud includes any circumstance where the forfeiture of an award is required by law, and any other circumstance where the Committee determines in its sole discretion that an individual (i) personally and knowingly engaged in practices that materially contributed to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement, or (ii) had knowledge of such material noncompliance or the circumstances giving rise to such noncompliance and failed to take reasonable steps to bring it to the attention of the appropriate individuals within the Company. Requirements of law include Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, under which, if the Company’s financials must be restated as a result of misconduct, then our CEO and CFO must repay incentive compensation, equity based compensation, and stock sale profits if received during the twelve-month period following the initial filing of the financial statements that required restatement.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our insider trading and anti-hedging policy prohibits employees and directors from engaging in any short-term speculative trading in our stock, as well as hedging and other derivative transactions with respect to our stock.

Change in Control Severance Agreements

We have change in control severance agreements with our CEO and his executive officer direct reports. These agreements are intended to assure the retention and performance of executives if a change in control of the Company is pending or threatened. These agreements are designed to reduce the distraction of our executive officers that might otherwise arise from the personal uncertainties caused by a change in control, to encourage the executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company, and to provide the executive with compensation and benefits following a change in control that are consistent with general industry best practices. As previously noted, a change-in-control occurred on December 18, 2017 for purposes of the change-in-control agreements with each of our NEOs employed as of such date. See Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change Of Control for additional information.

Benefits and Perquisites

In general, we cover executive officers under the benefits programs described below to provide them with the opportunity to save for retirement and to provide a safety net of protection against the loss of income or increase in expense that can result from termination of employment, illness, disability, or death. Apart from change-in-control arrangements, the benefits we offer to our executive officers are generally the same as those we offer to our salaried employees, with some variation based on industry practices.

Retirement Benefits

401(k) Plan. We offer eligible employees, including our executive officers, the ability to participate in a 401(k) plan, a broad based tax qualified defined contribution plan. Eligible employees may make pre-tax salary deferrals and Roth 401(k) after tax contributions under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). A Company matching contribution up to 4% of a participating employee’s considered earnings is offered. The potential of an additional discretionary Company contribution is also available to eligible employees who meet specific service criteria; no such discretionary Company contribution was made for 2017. Company contributions are allocated to participants’ accounts according to the plan formulas. Participants can invest their accounts in any of a selection of investment funds, plus a Company stock fund for eligible employees.

Excess and Deferred Compensation Plans. The Code limits tax-advantaged benefits for highly compensated employees under the 401(k) Plan in several ways: nondiscrimination rules that restrict their deferrals and matching contributions based on the average deferrals and matching contributions of non-highly compensated employees; limits on the total dollar amount of additional contributions for any employee; limits on the total annual amount of elective deferrals; and a limit on the considered earnings used to determine benefits under the 401(k) Plan.

We maintain an excess benefit plan (the “Excess Plan”) to provide retirement benefits for our senior managers (including our executive officers) on the same basis, in proportion to pay, as we provide retirement benefits to all our salaried employees generally. Therefore, we contribute to the Excess Plan the difference between the amount that would have been contributed by the Company to the participants’ 401(k) Plan accounts but for the Code limitations, and the contributions the Company actually made to their 401(k) Plan accounts. We make contributions for the Excess Plan to a rabbi trust, with an independent trustee. Earnings on these contributions are determined by participants’ designation of investment funds from the same group of funds (other than the Company stock fund) that is available under the 401(k) Plan. Participants can invest their accounts in any of a selection of mutual funds offered under the Excess Plan.

We also maintain a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). This allows our senior managers (including our executive officers) to defer part of their salary and part or all of their cash incentive compensation. These deferrals are paid upon retirement or other termination of employment or other scheduled events as elected by the participant. These deferrals are also held in a rabbi trust. Earnings on these deferrals are determined by participants’ designation of investment funds from the same group of funds (other than the Company stock fund) that is available under the 401(k) Plan and the Excess Plan.

Additionally, Mr. Mullen and Mr. McCarthy have balances in a frozen nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Lummus Retirement Income Restoration Plan”), which was assumed upon a past acquisition.

We have not created any defined benefit, actuarial or supplemental executive retirement plans (“SERPs”) for our executive officers. We do, however, sponsor one frozen plan due to a prior acquisition.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In 2017 we maintained an employee stock purchase plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. The Company adopted the Stock Purchase Plan to give eligible employees the opportunity to buy Company stock in a tax-effective manner and thus help align their interests with those of our shareholders generally. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, employees, including executive officers, elected to participate were granted an option to purchase shares on a specified future date. The purchase price was 85% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of purchase. During

specified periods preceding the purchase date, each participating employee could designate up to 8% of pay (up to a limit of $25,000 per calendar year) to be withheld and used to purchase as many shares as such funds allowed at the discounted purchase price. This program was suspended after the offering period that ended on December 31, 2017.

Other Benefits

Our executive officers receive other benefits that we provide to our salaried employees generally. These are:


•	Medical benefits, including post-retirement medical benefits for eligible employees who retire;


•	Group term life insurance; and


•	Short-term and long-term disability protection.

We also provide miscellaneous personal benefits to our executive officers, some of which may also be offered to additional members of senior management. These include:


•	Leased automobiles or automobile allowance, which facilitate travel on Company business;


•	Club dues, where the club enhances opportunities to meet and network with prospective customers and other business leaders;


•	Annual physical examinations, to promote good health;


•	Services to provide effective tax and financial planning; and


•	Travel and temporary housing expenses to those who have relocated in connection with their employment.

We authorize limited personal use of corporate aircraft for our CEO in order to minimize his time away from the office and protect his personal security. He is not required to reimburse us for such use, but is required to pay the associated income taxes. We do not reimburse or gross up any such taxes. Supervisory Board members and executive officers are allowed limited business use of the corporate aircraft per Company policy.

Termination of employment by “retirement” entitles our eligible employees, including our executive officers, to post-retirement vesting in certain incentive compensation and equity awards plus an extended time to exercise stock options, subject to the schedule set forth in the particular award and/or approval of the Committee. Termination of employment by “retirement” also entitles our eligible employees hired before January 1, 2011 to certain post-retirement medical benefits under our current retiree medical plan. Retirement does not entitle our employees to any additional pension or other actuarial plan benefits, such as SERPs, nor to additional contributions or vesting under a 401(k) Plan.

Tax, Accounting and Regulatory Considerations

We take tax, accounting and regulatory requirements into consideration in choosing the particular elements of our compensation and in the procedures we use to set and pay those elements. We want to pay compensation in the most tax-effective manner reasonably possible and therefore take tax considerations into account. As discussed above, our decision to provide restricted stock in the form of restricted stock units rather than restricted stock shares is based on the interplay between The Netherlands taxes and applicable tax credits.

We also consider the requirements of Sections 162(m) and 409A of the Code. Prior to December 22, 2017, when the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallowed a tax deduction to publicly held companies for compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million per officer in any year that did not qualify as performance-based. Under the TCJA, the performance-based exception has been repealed, subject to grandfathering. Additionally, any executive subject to the $1 million limit in one year will be subject to the limit in future years, even if the executive would otherwise have been subject to the limit for the future year. The new rules generally apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, but do not apply to remuneration provided pursuant to a written binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017 that is not modified in any material respect after that date. Because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, including the uncertain scope of the transition relief under the legislation repealing Section 162(m)’s exception to the deduction limit for performance-based compensation, no assurance can be given that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for exception from the Section 162(m) deduction limit will, in fact, satisfy the exception. The Committee reserves the right to grant or pay compensation that is not deductible as a result of Section 162(m), as well as the right to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from Section 162(m) if it determines that such modifications are consistent with the Company’s business needs.

Section 409A provides that deferred compensation (including certain forms of equity awards) is subject to additional income tax and interest, unless it is paid pursuant to a plan and procedures meeting certain requirements of the Code.

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017. Based on that review and discussion, we recommended to the Supervisory Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this filing.

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement with McDermott entered into on December 18, 2017, a change in-control occurred for purposes of the change-in-control agreements for our NEOs who were employed as of that date. As a result, a prorated target bonus through the Change-In-Control Date was paid to each NEO in December 2017, and the balance of the target bonus was paid in the ordinary course in March 2018. This payment is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table as a change-in-control payment rather than a bonus because it was paid pursuant to the change-in-control agreements.


(4)	Mr. Asherman’s termination of employment occurred on July 1, 2017.


(5)	Mr. Scorsone’s termination of employment occurred on October 18, 2017.

CEO Pay Ratio

We determined that the 2017 annual total compensation of the median compensation of our employees who were employed as of December 31, 2017, other than our CEO, Patrick K. Mullen, was $92,170; Patrick K. Mullen’s 2017 annual total compensation was $9,827,691; and the ratio of these amounts was 1:107.

To identify the median employee, we used a consistently applied compensation measure “CACM” of base salary plus overtime for fiscal 2017, annualizing the CACM for those employees hired during 2017. We used January 1, 2018 exchange rates to convert the CACM of the non-US employees to US currency. Based on the even number of employees (excluding the CEO) active on December 31, 2017, this process resulted in in two possible medians with one being located in the US and one located outside of the US. For simplicity and comparison purposes, we chose the employee located in the US to serve as our median for this calculation. In addition, the median employee was hired during the year and so the data included in the pay ratio reflect annualized compensation as though the median employee had been with the Company for the entire year.

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

(1)

Awards under the annual ICP establish threshold (minimum) performance targets. Incentive compensation becomes payable only to the extent the thresholds are exceeded. The amounts payable for threshold, target and maximum achievement are shown in columns (c), (d) and (e), respectively. These amounts are based on the individual’s current salary and incentive target as a percent of salary. Pursuant to their change-in-control agreements, each current NEO was paid a target incentive bonus for fiscal 2017, and these comments are part of “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table.

(2)

The amounts shown in column (f) reflect the minimum stock awards of performance shares under our LTIP which is 50% of the target award shown in column (g). The amounts shown in column (h) are 200% of such target awards. All performance shares granted on February 15, 2017 vest 33 1/3% per year over three 1-year performance periods based on achievement of pre-established targets. Market performance-based awards granted on February 15, 2017 and included in this column vest 33 1/3% per year based on the Company’s TSR performance against the FLM Global Engineering & Construction Company Index. Absolute performance-based awards granted on February 15, 2017 and included in this column vest 33 1/3% per year based on the Company’s EPS performance against its own EPS goals. Pursuant to their change-in-control agreements, the current NEOs fully vested in their outstanding, unvested performance shares at 100% of target on the Change-in-Control Date, and the performance shares will be settled in cash upon the closing of the Combination. Outstanding performance shares were modified on the Change-in-Control Date when they vested at target and converted into awards that will be settled in cash upon the closing of the Combination. Outstanding awards held by Messrs. Asherman and Scorsone were modified in connection with their termination of employment on May 15, 2017 and October 18, 2017, respectively. Column (l) reflects the incremental fair value of these modifications under ASC Topic 718. A description of the changes in award terms that result in a modification is set forth under Potential Payments Upon Termination of Change of Control.

(3)

These awards are restricted stock units made under our LTIP. The awards granted on February 15, 2017 and June 30, 2017 for Mr. Mullen vest 25% per year over four years on the anniversaries of the grant date. The award granted June 30, 2017 for Mr. Taff vest 100% on the third anniversary of the date of grant. If dividends are paid on shares, participants are paid as compensation at the same time and on the same basis as the underlying restricted stock vests at an amount equal to accumulated dividends. Outstanding awards held by Messrs. Asherman and Scorsone were modified in connection with their termination of employment on May 15, 2017 and October 18, 2017, respectively. Column (l) reflects the incremental fair value of these modifications under ASC Topic 718. A description of the modification of the awards held by Messrs. Asherman and Scorsone is set forth under Potential Payments Upon Termination of Change of Control.


(4)	The grant date fair market values of stock awards are computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

We adopted the Excess Plan to provide retirement benefits for our eligible employees (including executive officers) on the same basis, in proportion to pay, as we provide retirement benefits to all our salaried employees generally. We contribute to the Excess Plan the difference between the amount that would have been contributed by the Company to participants’ 401(k) Plan accounts but for the Code limitations, and the contributions actually made to participants’ 401(k) Plan accounts. Contributions to the Excess Plan are paid into a rabbi trust, with an independent trustee. Earnings on these contributions are determined by participants’ designation of investment funds from the same group (other than the Company stock fund) that is available under the 401(k) Plan. Executives can change the election of investments at any time without restriction. At the time an executive becomes a participant, he or she elects whether distribution will occur on a designated date, or upon termination of employment or a designated date thereafter. Executives are not permitted to make contributions to the Excess Plan.

We also adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan. Contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan are paid into a rabbi trust. Earnings on these contributions are determined by participants’ designation of investment funds from the same group that is available under the 401(k) Plan and the Excess Plan. Executives make contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan at the time they are paid compensation. Executives can change the election of investments at any time without restriction. Mr. McCarthy maintains a balance in the Deferred Compensation Plan, and no NEOs contributed to the Deferred Compensation Plan in 2017.

We adopted the Lummus Retirement Income Restoration Plan on January 1, 2008. No new participants or contributions were allowed in the plan after December 31, 2007, and the plan is unfunded. Mr. Mullen and Mr. McCarthy have balances in the Lummus Retirement Income Restoration Plan.

The following table summarizes certain nonqualified deferred compensation contributions for 2017 pursuant to our Excess Plan.

All amounts reported as contributions have been reported as compensation to the named executive officer in the Summary Compensation Table for the last completed fiscal year. Amounts in the “Aggregate Balance” column that represent past contributions have been reported in the Summary Compensation Tables of our proxy statements in prior years. No amounts reported as earnings have been reported as compensation to the named executive officer.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

Each of CB&I’s current NEOs entered into a change-in-control agreement at or around the time the executive officer was hired or promoted into a role that reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer. For purposes of the change-in-control agreements, and as previously noted, a change-in-control occurred on December 18, 2017, the date on which the Supervisory Board of CB&I approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Combination”). December 18, 2017, is referred to hereafter as the “Change-in-Control Date” in this section.

Pursuant to the change-in-control agreements, on the Change-in-Control Date, current NEOs fully vested in their outstanding, unvested restricted stock units, performance shares and options. The CB&I performance shares vested at 100% of target on the Change-in-Control Date and will be settled in cash upon the closing of the Combination. In addition, each CB&I NEO received a target bonus for fiscal 2017, in two installments: (1) a prorated target bonus was paid in December 2017 and (2) the remaining portion of the target bonus was paid in March 2018.

Severance Benefits

If, prior to the third anniversary of the Change-in-Control Date, an NEO’s employment is terminated without cause or the NEO resigns with good reason, the NEO would be eligible to receive the following benefits: (1) a lump sum cash payment equal to three times the sum of the NEO’s base salary and target bonus, paid on the six-month anniversary of the termination date, with interest; (2) reimbursement of outplacement costs, in an amount not to exceed 20% of the NEO’s base salary, paid in a lump sum (without interest) on the six month anniversary of the termination date, (3) continued welfare benefits until the third anniversary of the termination date; and (4) solely for Messrs. Mullen and McCarthy, family medical benefits until the later of the NEO’s death and the death of the NEO’s spouse (on terms and costs similar to active peer employees until the NEO turns age 65 and on terms and costs similar to retired peer employees thereafter). Upon a termination due to death or disability, retirement, termination for cause or resignation without good reason, the NEOs would not be entitled to severance benefits under the change-in-control agreements. The estimated value of these benefits assuming the NEOs were each terminated without cause or resigned with good reason on December 31, 2017, is set forth in the table below.



Name	Cash Severance ($)		Outplacement Benefits ($)		Welfare Benefits ($)
Patrick K. Mullen	$	7,817,700	$	226,600	$	318,480
Michael S. Taff	$	4,130,192	$	144,919	$	57,882
James W. Sabin	$	2,817,960	$	98,876	$	59,718
Duncan N. Wigney	$	2,935,500	$	103,000	$	47,005
Daniel M. McCarthy	$	3,700,577	$	129,845	$	140,890

For purposes of each change-in-control agreement and restricted stock unit award agreement, “cause” means (1) a conviction of a felony or of a crime involving moral turpitude or (2) willful or intentional misconduct by the NEO in the performance of his duties under the agreement or willful or intentional breach of the agreement that, in either case, results in material financial detriment, but for purposes of clauses (1) and (2), does not include bad judgment, negligence, actions taken or omissions made in good faith, actions indemnifiable by CB&I, or actions known to CB&I for more than a year before the purported termination. For purposes of each change-in-control agreement and restricted stock unit award agreement, resignation with “good reason” means the assignment of duties to the NEO inconsistent with the NEO’s position, authorities or duties, any diminution or other material adverse changes in the executive’s duties, title reporting requirements or responsibilities, the failure by CB&I to provide the compensation, incentive compensation, work location, plan and other payments, benefits and perquisites called for by the change-in-control agreement, or other breaches of the change-in-control agreement by CB&I, an adverse change in the terms and conditions of the executive’s employment, initiating a termination for cause without completing the termination within 90 days in compliance with the change-in-control agreement, any other purported termination of the executive’s employment not contemplated by the change-in-control agreement, or failure of a successor to assume and perform the change-in-control agreement. The existence of good reason is judged conclusively by the executive unless it is determined by clear and convincing evidence that the executive did not have good reason.

Equity Awards

If an NEO’s employment is terminated due to the NEO’s death, disability, retirement, or termination for the convenience of the Company, or if the NEO resigns with good reason during the three years following the Change-in-Control Date, restricted stock unit awards granted to the NEO following the Change-in-Control Date would vest in full. For purposes of the restricted stock unit award agreements granted on or after February 18, 2015, “retirement” means a termination of employment after age 65; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Award, Retirement shall not apply to the vesting or other treatment of that Award unless the Employee has remained an Employee through and including December 31 of the calendar year in which the Award was granted, but only if such termination is, among other items, (1) not the result of an involuntary termination of employment for willful conduct of gross negligence and (2) the NEO does not take employment with a competitive business. As of December 31, 2017, none of the current NEOs held any outstanding, unvested equity awards.

Annual Incentive Awards

If, prior to the third anniversary of the Change-in-Control Date, the NEO’s employment is terminated without cause, the NEO resigns for any reason (including retirement), or the NEO dies or becomes disabled, the NEO would be eligible to receive a prorated bonus for the year of termination, based on the greater of actual performance through the date of the termination and target performance, paid in a lump sum within five days of the termination date. If a qualifying termination had occurred on December 31, 2017, the estimated amount of this benefit would have been as follows: Mr. Mullen ($50,932), Mr. Taff ($22,550), Mr. Sabin ($15,386), Mr. Wigney ($16,027), and Mr. McCarthy ($20,503). These amounts reflect the prorated target bonus for the period between December 18, 2017 and December 31, 2017 to which the NEO would have become entitled upon a qualifying termination on such date. As described under “Change in Control,” on the Change-in-Control Date, the NEOs received a bonus in respect of the period between January 1, 2017 and the Change-in-Control Date.

Death and Disability Benefits

If, during the three years following the Change-in-Control Date, CB&I terminates an NEO’s employment by reason of the NEO’s disability or the NEO dies, the NEO would be eligible to receive benefits under CB&I’s broad-based disability and death plans with no enhancement except that such benefits may not be reduced below the greatest benefit level in effect during the 90-day period preceding the Change-in-Control Date. The value of the benefits that the NEOs would have received if the NEOs terminated employment due to their death or disability on December 31, 2017 is omitted from this disclosure because they would have received the same benefits that they would have received under CB&I’s broad-based benefit plans.

Accrued Benefits

If, during the three years following the Change-in-Control Date, the NEO terminates employment for any reason (other than good reason), the NEO would not be entitled to any benefits under the change-in-control agreements other than payments of accrued but unpaid salary, accrued but unused vacation and unreimbursed business expenses.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Pursuant to the change-in-control agreement, vested amounts accrued under any deferred compensation plan or excess plan will be paid upon the earlier of the closing of the Combination and the NEO’s termination of employment for any reason other than for cause that occurs during the two years following the closing of the change-in-control transaction, to the extent that such payment is permitted by the terms of the plan and tax code requirements. Otherwise, to the extent elected by the NEO, vested nonqualified deferred compensation will be paid upon any termination of the NEO’s employment. Each NEO’s vested account balance as of December 31, 2017 is quantified in column (f) of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table above.

Sections 280G and 4999 of the Tax Code

For each NEO party to a change-in-control agreement other than Mr. McCarthy, if the NEO’s merger related payments or benefits are subject to the 20% excise tax under Section 4999 of the tax code, then the NEO will either receive all such payments and benefits subject to the excise tax or such payments and benefits will be reduced so that the excise tax does not apply, whichever approach yields the best after-tax outcome for the NEO. If Mr. McCarthy is subject to the 20% excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, he is eligible to receive a gross-up payment to cover the amount of such taxes pursuant to the terms of his existing change-in-control agreement. We do not provide any other excise tax gross-ups. If Mr. McCarthy’s employment is terminated for any reason on December 31, 2017, based on our reasonable assumptions, Mr. McCarthy would not have received a tax gross-up payment.

Other Material Terms of the Change-in-Control Agreements

The change-in-control agreements also provide for certain other benefits, including the following: (1) reimbursement for legal, accounting and other fees incurred by the NEO to secure the NEO’s payments under the agreement and (2) during the three years following the Change-in-Control Date, certain guaranteed levels of compensation and benefits, including a guaranteed annual bonus in respect of each annual performance period that ends during the three years following the change-in-control equal to the greater of the NEOs target annual bonus (or, if greater, the target bonus in effect immediately prior to the change-in-control) and the actual bonus payable in respect of the applicable fiscal year.

Restrictive Covenants

Pursuant to the change-in-control agreements, each NEO is subject to restrictions on competing with CB&I and soliciting CB&I’s employees and customers during their employment and for one year thereafter.

Broad-Based Benefit Arrangements

CB&I also provides death and disability benefits, 401(k) plan benefits, and medical benefits under broad-based plans that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of its executive officers and that are available generally to all eligible U.S. salaried employees. Prior to January 1, 2009, termination of employment by retirement as defined in the applicable plan entitled our employees (including our named executive officers) to post-retirement medical benefits. Effective January 1, 2009, for employees (including executive officers) hired on or after that date but before January 1, 2011, we revised our retiree medical plan to eliminate post-retirement medical benefits after age 65. Effective January 1, 2011, for employees (including executive officers) hired on or after that date, no post-retirement medical benefits (pre-65 or post-65) are provided.

Agreement with Patrick K. Mullen

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, CB&I and McDermott have agreed to enter into a letter agreement with Mr. Mullen memorializing the terms of his compensation and benefits following the closing of the Combination. Following the closing of the Combination, Mr. Mullen will cease to hold the title of President and Chief Executive Officer will instead serve as Executive Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer of McDermott, with a base salary of $1,133,000, a target bonus opportunity of 130% of base salary and perquisites provided at the same level and on the same terms as such perquisites are provided today. The amounts payable to Mr. Mullen under his change-in-control agreement will become fully vested and non-forfeitable upon the closing of the Combination and will be paid following his termination of employment for any reason at the times specified in the change-in-control agreement and in accordance with applicable tax code requirements. All other rights under Mr. Mullen’s change-in-control agreement will remain in effect. Following the closing of the Combination, Mr. Mullen will be eligible to receive customary indemnification rights for his service as a senior executive officer, including coverage under McDermott’s directors and officers liability policy. In addition, Mr. Mullen’s annual CB&I Restricted Stock Unit Award granted in 2018 had a grant date value of $6.5 million and will accelerate upon a termination of his employment without cause or his resignation with good reason (including ceasing to be Chief Executive Officer following the closing of the Combination).

Former Named Executive Officers

During fiscal year 2017, two of our former named executive officers, Phillip K. Asherman and Luke V. Scorsone, terminated employment. Messrs. Asherman and Scorsone each executed a release of claims, which includes a two-year post-termination employee non-solicitation covenant, in exchange for (1) a prorated target bonus for fiscal year 2017 equal to $978,000 for Mr. Asherman and a prorated estimated bonus for fiscal 2017 equal to $232,080 for Mr. Scorsone; (2) retirement treatment of certain restricted stock units outstanding on the termination date (194,066 and 70,333 restricted stock units vested for Messrs. Asherman and Scorsone, respectively); (3) retirement treatment of certain performance shares outstanding on the termination date (378,295 and 89,918 performance shares for Messrs. Asherman and Scorsone, respectively, remained outstanding and eligible to vest based on the achievement of applicable performance goals); and (4) retirement treatment of outstanding, vested options (options will remain outstanding and exercisable until the expiration date). In addition, Mr. Asherman was eligible to receive (a) “qualifying termination” treatment of his restricted stock units subject to his LTIP Special Incentive Stock Award Agreement (43,414 restricted stock units vested); (b) “qualifying termination” treatment of performance shares subject to the LTIP Special Incentive Stock Award (86,828 performance shares remained outstanding and eligible to vest based on the achievement of applicable performance goals); (c) financial planning services through December 31, 2017; and (d) $700 per hour for his services in assisting CB&I with certain legal matters at CB&I’s request. The retirement treatment of equity awards held by Messrs. Asherman and Scorsone is subject to their compliance with certain non-competition covenants in the applicable equity award agreements.

(1)	Philip K. Asherman, former President and Chief Executive Officer, is not included in this table as he was an employee and received no compensation for his services as a member of the Supervisory Board. The compensation received by Mr. Asherman as a former employee is shown in the Summary Compensation Table.


(2)	Reflects the grant date fair market value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The number of stock awards outstanding at the end of the last completed year for each member of the Supervisory Board was 5,889. The stock awards were granted in May 2017.


(3)	No outside members of the Supervisory Board have option awards outstanding.


(4)	All other compensation includes the 15% discount on shares purchased (described below), above market interest on deferred compensation, and dividends on stock awards, as applicable.


(5)	Mr. Flury is the non-executive Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Mr. Flury receives 50% of his fees earned in cash, and as described below defers until 2017 42% of fees in cash and 8% of fees to purchase Company stock.


(6)	Mr. Bolch received 50% of his fees earned in cash, and as described below deferred until one year after retirement 42% of fees converted to Company stock and 8% to purchase Company stock for first half of year 2017. Mr. Bolch receives 100% of his fees earned in cash effective August 2017.


(7)	Ms. Fretz, as described below defers until retirement 92% of her fees earned in cash and 8% of fees to purchase Company stock.


(8)	Mr. Kissel receives 92% of his fees earned in cash and applies 8% of fees to purchase Company stock.


(9)	Mr. McVay receives 92% of his fees earned in cash, and as described below defers until retirement 8% of fees to purchase Company stock.

As approved at the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders, members of the Supervisory Board received in 2017 as compensation for their services as members of the Supervisory Board the following: (1) members of the Supervisory Board who are not employees received an annual retainer of $110,000, except for the non-executive Chairman of the Supervisory Board, who received an annual retainer of $275,000, and (2) each member of the Supervisory Board received an annual equity retainer in the amount of $175,000 paid in restricted stock, priced as of the close of the market on the day the grant was made and which will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of the grant. Committee chairmen also received an annual retainer as follows: Audit Committee Chairman, $20,000; Organization & Compensation Committee Chairman, $20,000; Nominating Committee Chairman, $10,000; Corporate Governance Committee Chairman, $10,000; and Strategic Initiatives Committee Chairman, $5,000.

In fiscal 2017 members of the Supervisory Board could elect to receive their compensation in common shares and could elect to defer their compensation in the form of cash or stock. Fees deferred in the form of cash are credited with interest at the rate of prime plus 1%, updated quarterly based on the prime rate for the first business day of each calendar quarter as published in the Wall Street Journal. For fees deferred in the form of stock, the number of shares of our stock it was determined by dividing the fees earned by the closing price per share of our stock on the NYSE on the first trading day preceding the respective Supervisory Board meeting and such shares earned dividends at the regular rate and were converted into additional shares based on the closing price per share of our stock on the NYSE on the dividend payment date. In addition, a member of the Supervisory Board could direct that up to 8% of his or her director’s fees be applied to purchase shares at 85% of the closing price per share on the NYSE on the first trading day following the end of each calendar quarter. Shares were issued either at the time of purchase or at a specified future date. No member of the Supervisory Board who is a full-time employees of the Company may receive compensation for serving as a member of the Supervisory Board.

In 2005, we adopted stock ownership guidelines for our members of the Supervisory Board. The guidelines state that each member of the Supervisory Board owns shares in our stock equal to at least five times the annual retainer. There is a five-year period for members of the Supervisory Board to meet these stock ownership targets. Due to the decrease in the Company’s stock price in fiscal 2017, some members of the Supervisory Board failed to satisfy these stock ownership guidelines at the end of fiscal 2017, and no member of the Supervisory Board has been able to sell shares of Company stock since the completion of fiscal 2017.

Compensation of the Members of the Supervisory Board

Under our Articles of Association, any decisions on compensation of members of our Supervisory Board are made by our general meeting of shareholders. If any changes need to be made to the compensation of members of our Supervisory Board, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Supervisory Board on the compensation. The Supervisory Board then approves or modifies those recommendations and proposes them to the shareholders at a general meeting. In making a recommendation, the Nominating Committee receives advice and recommendations from Pearl Meyer, which serves as its compensation consultant for directors. Its representatives evaluate our compensation practices and assist in developing our director compensation program. They review compensation for the members of the Supervisory Board annually; however, changes to director compensation might not be made every year. Pearl Meyer representatives are present as needed at selected Nominating Committee meetings to discuss compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board.

RISK ANALYSIS

The Committee has considered the Company’s executive compensation structure to identify any design elements that might encourage excessive risk taking and, taking into account the comments of Pearl Meyer in their review requested by the Committee, does not believe the Company’s compensation practices present risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company’s peer group selection process and competitive positioning are consistent with typical market practices. The mix of corporate and individual objectives to measure performance, coupled with the Committee’s discretion to reduce any annual cash incentive awards otherwise determined by the corporate objectives, should mitigate excessive risk taking by tying payout to multiple elements. Further, the use of both performance shares and restricted stock to provide long-term incentives similarly mitigates the risk of any one vehicle creating undue incentive to take on excessive risk. The Company emphasizes EPS as a performance measure, which is consistent with shareholder value creation.

In addition, the Company has shareholding requirements for executive officers, and the Committee has established a clawback policy that allows it to recover both cash and equity-based compensation negatively affected by fraud or misconduct resulting in a material restatement of the Company’s financial statements. The Committee will continue to monitor the Company’s compensation structure from the point of view of not encouraging risks inconsistent with the interests of our shareholders.

Organization and Compensation Committee

The current members of the Organization and Compensation Committee are Mr. Kissel (Chairman), Messrs. Bolch and Miller, and Ms. Fretz. The Supervisory Board has determined that Messrs. Kissel, Bolch and Miller and Ms. Fretz are each independent as defined in the Exchange Act and under the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Organization and Compensation Committee met seven times in 2017. Its primary duties and responsibilities include the following:


•	establishment of compensation philosophy, strategy and guidelines for our executive officers and senior management, including review of compensation programs for excessive risk;


•	administration of our long-term and short-term incentive plans;

•

evaluation and approval of corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s and named executive officers’ compensation, evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s and the named executive officers’ performance in light of those goals and objectives and setting the Chief Executive Officer’s and the named executive officers’ compensation level based on this evaluation;


•	preparation of the Organization and Compensation Committee report on executive compensation to be included in the proxy statement; and


•	review of succession management programs and practices for our senior management (including our Chief Executive Officer and his executive officer direct reports).

Organization and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal year 2017, no member of the Organization and Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of the Company or of any of our subsidiaries, nor was formerly an officer of the Company or any of our subsidiaries. No member of the Organization and Compensation Committee had any relationships required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.

During fiscal year 2017, none of our executive officers served as: (i) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Organization and Compensation Committee; (ii) a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Organization and Compensation Committee; or (iii) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of our Company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Related Party Transactions

The Nominating Committee of the Supervisory Board is responsible for reviewing all transactions that might represent a conflict or potential conflict of interest on the part of shareholders who hold more than 10% of our shares, directors, and officers. The Nominating Committee will analyze such potential conflicts of interest in order to ensure compliance with the Company’s Code of Ethics and the Company’s Code of Conduct, and make recommendations to the Supervisory Board concerning the granting of waivers, if appropriate, under the Company’s Code of Ethics. Each director and officer must make prompt and full disclosure of all potential conflicts of interest to the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Legal Officer of the Company, the Non-Executive Chairman (defined below) or the Chairman of the Audit Committee. A conflict of interest includes any shareholder who holds more than 10% of our shares, a director, or officer having a financial interest in any contract with us or in any organization doing business with us, or any such person receiving improper personal benefits or loans as a result of his or her position in the Company. On an annual basis, each member of the Supervisory Board and each executive officer is obligated to complete a Director and Officer Questionnaire, which requires disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which the member of the Supervisory Board or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, has a direct or indirect material interest. These obligations are set forth in writing in our Code of Ethics and the Nominating Committee Charter available through our website, investors.cbi.com/corporate-governance.

The Company employs Mr. L. Richard Flury’s son, Geoffrey Flury, as a manager of our Walker, Louisiana operations. Mr. L. Richard Flury is the non-Executive Chairman of the Supervisory Board as well as a member of our Corporate Governance, Nominating and Strategic Initiatives Committees. This relationship does not affect Mr. L. Richard Flury’s independence because Geoffrey Flury is not an executive officer and received his compensation solely for service as an employee of the Company.

Director Independence

The Supervisory Board believes that there should be a significant majority of independent directors on the Supervisory Board and generally no more than one director who is also an employee. An independent director means a member of the Supervisory Board who, in conformity with NYSE listing standards and the criteria set forth in Exhibit A ("Exhibit A") to our Corporate Governance Guidelines (which comply with and in some cases are stricter than NYSE listing standards) available through our website, investors.cbi.com/corporate-governance, is independent of management and free from any relationship with the Company or otherwise that, in the opinion of the Supervisory Board, would interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment as a director. No director qualifies as independent unless the Supervisory Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or indirectly, such as an officer, director, partner or significant shareholder of an organization that has a material relationship with the Company), and discloses that determination and the basis for the determination in our annual proxy statement. While individual cases may warrant exceptions to our general guidelines (see Exhibit A), a director generally will be considered independent if he or she:


•	has not been employed by us within the past 5 years;


•	has not been affiliated with or employed by our present or former auditor within 5 years since the end of either the affiliation or the auditing relationship;


•	has not been part of an “interlocking directorate” in which one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee of another company that concurrently employs or employed the director within the last 5 years;


•	has not had an immediate family member (other than a family member employed in a non-officer position) in one of the categories listed above within the past 5 years;


•	is not a paid advisor or consultant to us and receives no financial benefit from any entity as a result of advice or consulting services provided to us by such entity;


•	is not an officer, director, partner or significant shareholder of any of our significant customers or suppliers, or any other entity having a material commercial, industrial, banking, legal or accounting relationship with us; and


•	is not an officer or director of a tax-exempt entity receiving more than 5% of its annual contributions from us.

Based on these guidelines, the Supervisory Board has determined that Messrs. Alexander, Bolch, Flury, Kissel McVay and Miller and Mses. Fretz and Williams are independent, under the standards described above. The Supervisory Board has also determined that all members of the Supervisory Board are “independent” as that term is defined by the Code adopted by the Dutch Corporate Governance Committee on December 9, 2003, and subsequently amended and restated in October 2008 (the “Dutch Corporate Governance Code”).

The Audit Committee has established a toll-free number, (866) 235-5687, through which interested parties may report concerns or issues regarding our accounting or auditing practices to the Audit Committee.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all audit and permissible non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Under these policies, the Audit Committee pre-approves the use of audit and audit-related services in connection with the approval of the independent registered public accounting firm’s audit plan. All services detailed in the audit plan are considered pre-approved. The Audit Committee monitors the audit services engagement as necessary, but no less often than quarterly. It approves any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting in changes in audit scope, Company structure or other items. Other audit services and non-audit services are pre-approved at the Audit Committee’s quarterly meetings. For interim pre-approval of audit and non-audit services, requests and applications are submitted to the Chief Financial Officer, who has been so designated by the Audit Committee for this purpose. The Chief Financial Officer may approve services that are consistent with the permissible services specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Where the services are not specified by the pre-approval policy and the Chief Financial Officer approves the request or application, it is submitted to the Audit Committee Chairman, or appropriate designated member of the Audit Committee, for pre-approval. All such audit and non-audit services and fees are monitored by the Audit Committee at its quarterly meeting.
