		1.	Board Appointments; Leadership Structure and Related Agreements.



 


(a)              
Board Appointments


 


(i)                
The Company agrees that the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to (A) increase
the size of the Board from ten (10) to eleven (11) members effective immediately following the execution of this Agreement (provided
that the size of the Board shall automatically decrease to ten (10) members at the conclusion of the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders
(the “2020 Annual Meeting”)), (B) appoint Peter A. Feld (“Mr. Feld”, or the “Starboard
Appointee”) and Robert G. Card as directors of the Company effective immediately following the execution of this Agreement,
and (C) appoint Jacqueline Hinman (each of Mr. Card and Ms. Hinman, an “Independent Appointee” and, together
with the Starboard Appointee, the “Appointed Directors”) as a director of the Company, effective no later than
December 16, 2019 (the “Hinman Effective Time”). The Company agrees that provided the Appointed Directors are
able and willing to continue to serve on the Board, the Company will include the Appointed Directors in the Company’s slate
of recommended directors to stand for election to the Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting together with the other members of the 2020
Slate (as defined below).


 






     


     


    

 


(ii)             
The Company agrees that (A) the Board shall nominate the following individuals, and only the following individuals, for
election to the Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting for terms expiring at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders
(the “2021 Annual Meeting”) and subject to their consent to serve: (x) the Appointed Directors (including any
Replacement Director (as defined below)); (y) six of the following seven individuals: Senator William H. Frist, M.D., Steven A.
Kandarian, Robert J. Routs, Clarence T. Schmitz, Douglas W. Stotlar, Daniel R. Tishman and Gen. Janet C. Wolfenbarger USAF Ret.
(such six individuals collectively, the “Continuing Directors,” and the individual that is not so nominated
for election, the “Retiring Director”) and (z) if appointed as of such time, the New CEO (as defined below)
(the New CEO, together with the Continuing Directors and the Appointed Directors, the “2020 Slate”); provided,
that if as of the filing of the Company’s definitive proxy statement in respect of the 2020 Annual Meeting the New CEO has
not been appointed, the Company may include the Retiring Director in the 2020 Slate in lieu of such New CEO provided that the Retiring
Director has submitted, and the Company has accepted, an irrevocable resignation letter on or prior to the date of such nomination,
pursuant to which the Retiring Director shall resign from the Board and all applicable committees thereof automatically and effective
immediately upon the later of the 2020 Annual Meeting and the appointment of the New CEO as a director of the Company in accordance
with Section 1(a)(v); and (B) the Company shall recommend, support and solicit proxies for the Appointed Directors at the
2020 Annual Meeting in the same manner as it recommends, supports, and solicits proxies for all other members of the 2020 Slate.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the 2020 Annual Meeting no later than March 16, 2020.


 


(iii)            If
any Appointed Director (or any Replacement Director (as defined below)) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director and
ceases to be a director, resigns as a director, is removed as a director, or for any other reason fails to serve or is
not serving as a director at any time prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (as defined below), and at such time
Starboard beneficially owns (as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in the aggregate at least the
lesser of 2% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock and 3,141,724 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment
for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments) (the “Minimum Ownership
Threshold”), Starboard shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person in accordance with this Section
1(a)(iii) (any such replacement nominee, when appointed to the Board, shall be referred to as a “Replacement
Director”). Any Replacement Director must (A) be reasonably acceptable to the Board (such acceptance not to be
unreasonably withheld), (B) qualify as “independent” pursuant to New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”) listing standards, (C) have the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of
the Company, (D) satisfy the publicly disclosed guidelines and policies with respect to service on the Board and (E) in the
case of a Replacement Director who is replacing an Independent Appointee (or any Replacement Director thereof), be
independent of Starboard (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by Starboard of such person to serve on the board of any
other company shall not (in and of itself) cause such person to not be deemed independent of Starboard). Any
Replacement Director who is replacing the Starboard Appointee (or any Replacement Director thereof) and who is an employee of
Starboard will be approved and appointed to the Board no later than five (5) business days following the submission of all
completed documentation required by Section 1(d)(v) so long as such Replacement Director qualifies as
 “independent” pursuant to the NYSE listing standards and satisfies the requirements of clause (D) of the
preceding sentence. The Nominating and Governance Committee shall make its determination and recommendation regarding whether
such Replacement Director (other than the Starboard Appointee, who is covered by the prior sentence) meets the foregoing
criteria within ten (10) business days after (1) such nominee has submitted to the Company the documentation required by Section
1(d)(v) and (2) representatives of the Board have conducted customary interview(s) of such nominee, if such interviews
are requested by the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
conduct any interview(s) contemplated by this Section 1(a)(iii) as promptly as practicable, but in any case, assuming
reasonable availability of the nominee, within ten (10) business days after Starboard’s submission of such nominee. In
the event the Nominating and Governance Committee does not accept a person recommended by Starboard as the Replacement
Director, Starboard shall have the right to recommend additional substitute person(s) whose appointment shall be subject to
the Nominating and Governance Committee recommending such person in accordance with the procedures described above. Upon the
recommendation of a Replacement Director nominee by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board shall vote on the
appointment of such Replacement Director to the Board no later than five (5) business days after the Nominating and
Governance Committee recommendation of such Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not
appoint such Replacement Director to the Board pursuant to this Section 1(a)(iii), the Parties shall continue to
follow the procedures of this Section 1(a)(iii) until a Replacement Director is elected to the Board. Subject to NYSE
rules and applicable law, upon a Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable
committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint such Replacement Director to any applicable committee of
the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal.
Subject to NYSE rules and applicable law, until such time as any Replacement Director is appointed to any such applicable
committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or
removal, one of the other Appointed Directors (as designated by Starboard) will serve as an interim member of such applicable
committee. Subject to Section 1(a)(i) and 1(a)(ii), any Replacement Director appointed to the Board pursuant to
this Section 1(a)(iii) to replace an Appointed Director prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting shall stand for election at
the 2020 Annual Meeting together with the other members of the 2020 Slate.

Meeting through the expiration of the Standstill Period, the size of the Board will not exceed ten (10) directors unless otherwise
agreed by Starboard in writing.


 


(v)              
Upon the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer (other than an interim Chief Executive Officer) (the “New
CEO”) in accordance with Section 1(b) of this Agreement, the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint
such person as a director of the Company. If the New CEO is appointed prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting, such person shall stand
for election at the 2020 Annual Meeting together with the other members of the 2020 Slate.

to participate in all meetings or calls with potential executive search firms. The executive search firm selected by the CEO Search
Committee must be agreed upon by a majority of the members of the CEO Search Committee.


 


(iv)            
In conducting the New CEO search process, the CEO Search Committee shall evaluate both internal and external candidates
for the position of the New CEO.

Concurrent with the announcement of this Agreement, the Company and Starboard will jointly issue a mutually agreeable press
release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A announcing the management transition, including the formation of the CEO
Search Committee and Mr. Burke’s intention to retire as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board by the earlier

nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Starboard or its Affiliates or Associates from taking actions in furtherance of identifying
director candidates in connection with the 2021 Annual Meeting so long as such actions do not create a public disclosure obligation
for Starboard or the Company, are not publicly disclosed by Starboard or its representatives, Affiliates or Associates and are

with the Company or the Board that would not be reasonably determined to trigger public disclosure obligations for any Party.


 


(b)              
Except as expressly provided in Section 1 or Section 2(a), Starboard shall be entitled to (i) vote any shares
of Common Stock that it beneficially owns as Starboard determines in its sole discretion and (ii) subject to Section 12,

AECOM
announces governance agreement with Starboard Value


 


Three new directors recommended by Starboard to
be appointed to Board


 


LOS ANGELES (November 22, 2019) — AECOM (NYSE:ACM),
the world’s premier infrastructure firm, today announced a governance agreement with Starboard Value LP (together with its
affiliates, “Starboard”), an investment firm and shareholder of the Company, which provides for the appointment of
three new independent directors recommended by Starboard, including Starboard Managing Member, Peter A. Feld, to the AECOM Board
of Directors.


 


Michael S. Burke, AECOM Chairman and CEO, has also notified
the Board that he intends to retire. The Board will initiate a CEO succession process, with Mr. Burke continuing in his role as
Chairman and CEO until a successor is identified by or prior to AECOM’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.


 


Under the governance agreement, the size of AECOM’s Board
is expanding to 11 members initially. Peter A. Feld and Robert G. Card will join the Board immediately, with Jacqueline C. Hinman
joining by December 16, 2019. Directors James H. Fordyce and Linda M. Griego, who have served on AECOM’s Board since 2006
and 2005, respectively, have retired.


 


Additionally, one current director will not stand for re-election
at the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting expected to be held in March, ultimately reducing the size of the Board to 10 members.


 


Current director Steven A. Kandarian will serve as the Board’s
Lead Independent Director. Following the appointment of a new CEO, the roles of Chairman and CEO will be separated.


 


“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Mike for
his service as CEO and his significant contributions to the Company,” Mr. Kandarian said. “Through Mike’s stewardship,
we have created substantial value for the Company and our shareholders over the past year, and we are well-positioned to continue
those value creation initiatives as we move into this next phase for AECOM following the completion of the sale of our Management
Services business. The Board greatly values and appreciates Mike’s continued leadership and assistance through a smooth transition.”


 


Mr. Burke stated, “I am incredibly proud of the record-setting
performance and improved profitability our committed employees delivered in 2019, and the value we are creating for shareholders.
The company is in a position of strength as we begin this leadership transition. I look forward to assisting in a robust succession
process to identify AECOM’s next leader – someone who will build upon a solid platform for new growth and continue
to ensure that our global clients and dedicated employees remain well served.”


 


Mr. Burke joined AECOM in 2005 and
has served as CEO and a member of the Company’s Board since 2014. In 2015, Mr. Burke was appointed Chairman of the
Board. During his tenure, Mr. Burke has led the company through a period of transformation and growth as represented by FY19
revenue of $20.2 billion, a 13% increase in adjusted EBITDA, and $27.5 billion in wins that contributed to $60 billion in
total backlog. Most recently, Mr. Burke led the announced value-enhancing sale of the Company’s Management Services
business in October for $2.405 billion. In the wake of this progress, AECOM’s stock is trading near its all-time
high.


 






     


     


    

 


Mr. Feld said, “We are pleased to have reached this constructive
agreement with AECOM. We believe the Company is well positioned as an industry leader and I look forward to working with my fellow
directors to ensure continued profitable growth, best-in-class corporate governance, and a focus on shareholder value creation.
We share the Board’s appreciation for Mike’s strong leadership and continued support of the Company.”


 


The terms of the governance agreement with Starboard also include
committee appointments, committee leadership roles, and the formation of a CEO search committee, among other items. As part of
the agreement, Starboard has agreed to customary standstill provisions and voting commitments.


 


Additionally, in connection with today’s announcement,
AECOM shareholder Engine Capital has committed to vote its shares in support of all of AECOM’s director nominees at the 2020
Annual Meeting.


 


Arnaud Ajdler, managing partner of Engine, said, “As long-term
shareholders, we are excited about the changes taking place at AECOM. We believe that the addition of these new independent directors
will benefit AECOM shareholders.”


 


Additional information about today’s announcement will
be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking
statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking
statements.


 


Important factors
that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results to differ materially from estimates or
projections contained in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: our business is
cyclical and vulnerable to economic downturns and client spending reductions; long-term government contracts and subject to
uncertainties related to government contract appropriations; government shutdowns; governmental agencies may modify, curtail
or terminate our contracts; government contracts are subject to audits and adjustments of contractual terms; losses under
fixed-price contracts; limited control over operations run through our joint venture entities; liability for misconduct by
our employees or consultants; failure to comply with business laws and regulations; maintaining adequate surety and financial
capacity; high leveraged and potential inability to service our debt and guarantees; exposure to Brexit and tariffs; exposure
to political and economic risks in different countries; currency exchange rate fluctuations; retaining and recruiting key
technical and management personnel; legal claims; inadequate insurance coverage; environmental law compliance and adequate
nuclear indemnification; unexpected adjustments and cancellations related to our backlog; partners and third parties who may
fail to satisfy their legal obligations; AECOM Capital real estate development projects; managing pension cost; cybersecurity
issues, IT outages and data privacy; uncertainties as to the timing and completion of the proposed sale of our Management
Services business or whether it will be completed and the risk that the expected benefits of the proposed sale of our
Management Services business or any contingent purchase price will not be realized within the expected time frame, in full or
at all; the risk that costs of restructuring transactions and other costs incurred in connection with the proposed sale of
our Management Services business will exceed our estimates or otherwise adversely affect our business or operations; as well
as other additional risks and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking
statements set forth in our reports filed with the SEC. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any
forward-looking statement.
