Item 5.03.                                          Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

At the annual meeting of stockholders of Fluor Corporation (the “Company”) held on May 5, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”), stockholders approved the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) to (i) declassify the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and (ii) remove and replace the supermajority voting provisions in the Certificate.  The Certificate was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 5, 2011, becoming effective on such date. Additional information concerning the Certificate was contained in the Company’s 2011 proxy statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2011 (the “2011 Proxy Statement”). A copy of the Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

 

In connection with the approval of the Certificate, the Board adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws as of May 5, 2011 (the “Bylaws”) to (i) remove references to the classified Board and (ii) eliminate the supermajority voting requirement for amendments to the Bylaws. Additional information concerning the Bylaws was contained in the 2011 Proxy Statement. A copy of the Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Certificate and the Bylaws are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate and the Bylaws filed herewith.
