Press Release

Houston, Texas - April 1, 2015 - The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a settlement of its examination into KBR's use of confidentiality statements today. KBR has agreed to resolve this matter amicably with the SEC and appreciates the concerns raised about the language in its confidentiality agreement.
KBR always intended the agreement be used only to protect the integrity and confidentiality of its internal, privileged investigations - as has been recognized by the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Indeed, KBR has always prided itself on its compliance program, designed thoroughly to investigate reports of wrongdoing, bring matters to the attention of law enforcement where appropriate and fully cooperate with law enforcement investigations.

"The SEC's order acknowledges that it is not aware of KBR having ever prevented anyone from reporting to the SEC nor has the company taken any action to enforce the agreement and that is because we have never done so," said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. "We are pleased to have amicably resolved this matter and look forward to putting it behind us."

KBR goes to great lengths to publicize its compliance reporting policies to employees and has proactively taken steps to ensure that its confidentiality language has been changed to make abundantly clear that any employee is free to report allegations of misconduct to the SEC or any other law enforcement or governmental agency.
We believe the SEC's order, including the amount of the penalty, recognizes that KBR is a good corporate citizen, did not engage in intentional wrongdoing and was fully responsive to the SEC's concerns.About KBR, Inc.
