Press Release

HOUSTON (April 28, 2017) KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) today made the following statement about the recent announcement of an investigation by the U.K. Serious Fraud Office (SFO).

In 2016, KBR disclosed that the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") are conducting investigations of Unaoil, a Monaco based company, in relation to international projects involving several global companies, including KBR, whose interactions with Unaoil are a subject of those investigations. Earlier this month, KBR received notice from the SFO that they are investigating the same facts and circumstances as the ongoing DOJ and SEC investigation. Following the disclosure of the SFO notice in our recent filing, in line with normal SFO practice, the SFO has issued a press release concerning its investigation.

As is customary, KBR is conducting its own internal investigation as well as cooperating with the DOJ, SEC, and the SFO in their investigations, which include the voluntary submission of information and compliance with formal document requests.

As has been reported previously, following our 2009 guilty plea and settlement with the DOJ and SEC over the legacy TSKJ matter KBR was under a DOJ-approved monitorship during which our compliance program was significantly enhanced and now is extremely robust. We conducted a thorough review of all international business relationships at the time of the monitorship and only continued with those parties, including Unaoil, that passed our rigorous review and agreed to adhere to all applicable anti-corruption laws.

At KBR, we believe that conducting business safely, honestly and with integrity is not just the right thing to do; it is the foundation of any lasting business success. We are proud of KBR's compliance program, Code of Business Conduct, and our culture of integrity.
