| CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |

### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We maintain a corporate governance section on our website, which contains copies of our principal governance documents. The corporate governance section may be found at www.bwxt.com under “Investors — Governance — Governance Documents.” The corporate governance section includes the following documents:

• Amended and Restated Bylaws

• Corporate Governance Principles

• Code of Business Conduct

• Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers

• Director Conflict of Interest Policy

• Audit and Finance Committee Charter

• Compensation Committee Charter

### DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Board has established categorical standards, which conform to the independence requirements in the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards, to assist it in determining director independence. These standards are contained in the Corporate Governance Principles found on our website at www.bwxt.com under “Investors — Governance — Governance Documents.”

| •Jan A. Bertsch     |     | •Kenneth J. Krieg   |     | •Barbara A. Niland  |
| •Gerhard F. Burbach |     | •Leland D. Melvin   |     | •Nicole W. Piasecki |
| •James M. Jaska     |     | •Robert L. Nardelli |     | •John M. Richardson |

The Board also determined that Mr. Geveden, who serves as an executive officer of the Company, is not an independent director. Accordingly, we currently have a supermajority of independent directors (
