### Dear KBR Stockholders,
Over KBR's 100-plus-year history, our people have shown time and again their dedication to our shared mission of delivering for our customers and their commitment to the values that guide us. Last year was no exception.

We won new and repeat contracts that will help bolster U.S. and allied nations' national security and defense in regions around the world, including a seat on the United States Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD contract with a ceiling of $151 billion. We delivered technology and domain expertise that are enhancing and securing the world's energy supply. We increased our focus on digital solutions and delivery — including investment in revolutionary new AI tools — that will ensure we stay at the forefront of innovation. And we made progress in our ongoing journey toward being what we believe to be the best possible company for the world's best talent — a place where our people can belong, connect and grow — as evidenced by numerous workplace awards from the likes of Forbes, Glassdoor, and U.S. News & World Report.

The following are a few of our other contract highlights:

● Awarded a $2.5B ceiling value, base period contract to support astronaut health and performance.

● $970M ceiling, 10-year IDIQ contract under the ASCEND2 vehicle to build a digital engineering ecosystem for the U.S. Space Force.

● $229M contract win under DoD IAC MAC vehicle for lifecycle research and analysis for U.S. Army cargo helicopter systems.

● KBR SOCAR JV selected by BP for energy security projects in Azerbaijan.

● Mitsubishi Chemical and ENEOS announced opening of plastics recycling plant, using KBR's licensed Hydro-PRT® technology.

● Secured a two-year renewal of the EPCM contract with Basra Oil Company for the Majnoon oil field in Iraq.

● Awarded a seat on the NAVSUP WEXMAC 2.1 – Territorial Integrity of the United States contract, a $10 billion ceiling vehicle supporting expeditionary logistics and contingency operation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. As used throughout this proxy statement, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted earnings per share, and Adjusted operating cash flows are non-GAAP financial measures. All non-GAAP financial measures reflect results from continuing operations. See additional information and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest applicable measure under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") at the end of this proxy statement under "Non-GAAP Financial Information."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Book-to-bill excludes long-term U.K. private finance initiative ("PFI") projects and the Plaquemines LNG project.

**Message from Our Chief Executive Officer**

### KBR — evolved
Of course, perhaps the biggest news of 2025 for KBR was the announcement that we are pursuing a spin-off of the Mission Technology Solutions business (SpinCo) into its own standalone company. The decision to pursue a spin-off was made with great care by the KBR Board of Directors and executive leadership team, considering the impact on all our stakeholders, most importantly our people.

The spin-off will eliminate internal complexity and create a clearer strategic path forward for SpinCo and the "new" KBR, positioning both companies for long-term growth. While SpinCo will continue providing government customers with key capabilities to increase speed to mission impact, the new KBR will build on our legacy of excellence, delivering innovative critical energy, industrial and infrastructure solutions that bridge the gaps between security, affordability and sustainability.

Following the spin-off, KBR will continue to partner with global energy and industrial customers and deploy our unique and innovative offerings to solve current and future global challenges. These capabilities include our IP-protected process technologies, high-end design and engineering, advisory and consulting services, program management, digitalization solutions, and many more. Through our deep domain expertise, tech-forward solutions, proven delivery approach and investment in breakthrough technologies, KBR will continue aiming to improve safety, reduce emissions and increase efficiency across the asset life cycle in areas such as new nuclear, ammonia, hydrogen, critical minerals and other key energy vectors. Additionally, through our digital-first strategy, our history of commercializing new and world-first technologies, and our experience delivering mega-scale infrastructure, we believe the new KBR will be poised to assume an even larger role in helping bolster global energy security and in helping our customers capture meaningful market potential and strategic advantage.

### Forward Looking Statements
This proxy statement, including our letter to stockholders, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Some examples include statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future financial performance, targets and backlog information, sustainability-related initiatives, targets and goals (including our climate-related targets) and other information that is not historical, including information related to the proposed spin-off of our Mission Technology Solutions business into a standalone, publicly traded company. When used in this proxy statement, the words "believe," "may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions, which are made in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement.

Additional information about potential risk factors that could affect our business and financial results is included in our most recently filed Form 10-K, any subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K, and any other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Filings. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this proxy statement, which speak only as of the date hereof. We disclaim any intent or obligation, except as required by law, to revise or update this information to reflect new information or future events or circumstances. We also disclaim any duty to comment on or correct information that may be contained in reports published by investment analysts or others.

### Sustainability Highlights
To reach our vision of 'delivering a safer, more secure and sustainable world,' we are driving sustainability deep into our DNA, from the highest level of the organization through our business strategy and into our operations. Our dedication to creating positive impact for the planet and for people is delivered both through the innovative and sustainable solutions we offer our clients and in the way we conduct our day-to-day business, all of which contribute to create long-term success, growth, business resilience, and shared prosperity for all.

We continue to contribute to our sustainability-focused revenue through the delivery of our sustainable solutions to the key customers we serve, and in 2025 this made up 35% of total revenue.

**Proxy Summary**

Strengthening this sustainability drive is our short-term incentive plan with a Zero Harm performance metric weighting of 5% for the 2026 plan year. This performance metric measures executive and senior leadership performance against the success of our Sustainability Pillars, including reinforcing our Zero Harm Safety and People First culture.

With an aim to further enhance our business resilience and future-proof the organization, we established processes to give due consideration to sustainability risks and opportunities that influence both our operations and the markets in which we operate, by embedding these factors into our COSO-based enterprise risk management system. This integrated approach has also strengthened our readiness for the global rollout of financial regulation on sustainability risk, including the adoption of IFRS/ISSB standards.

Consistent with our business strategy, our senior executives' individual Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") are focused on growth and expansion, reducing costs, and increasing efficiencies and cash flow performance. The Compensation Committee set rigorous targets for 2025 for both the short-term incentive ("STI") and long-term incentive ("LTI") plans.

---

At our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, 11 directors are to be elected to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All directors are elected annually, with each nominee standing for election to a one-year term. The members of our Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors" or "Board") hold office until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Stockholders have previously elected all Board nominees except Mr. Vigeveno. In recruiting Mr. Vigeveno, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retained an independent executive search firm.

Each nominee has indicated a willingness to serve, if elected. If any nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the Board of Directors may designate. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected. Directors are elected by a majority of votes cast. In accordance with our Bylaws, this means that the number of shares voted "**FOR**" a candidate must exceed the number of shares voted "**AGAINST**" the candidate. Shares present but not voting on the election of directors will be disregarded, except for quorum purposes, and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

The Board of Directors represents the interests of our stockholders in maintaining a successful business. Specifically, the Board of Directors oversees the effectiveness of management's policies and decisions, including the execution of KBR's strategies, with a commitment to enhancing stockholder value over the long term. To this end, Board members are expected to act in the best interests of all stockholders, to be knowledgeable about our businesses, to exercise informed and independent judgment, and to understand general economic trends and conditions, as well as trends in corporate governance.

### Our Board Leadership Structure
The Board does not have a policy as to whether the roles of Chair of the Board and CEO should be separate or combined. The Board believes that it is important to retain its flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer in any way that is in the best interests of KBR and its shareholders at a given point in time. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines currently provide that if the Chair of the Board is not from among the directors of the Corporation who are not also executive officers of the Corporation ("Non-Management Directors"), the Board will have a Lead Independent Director, to be designated by the Board from the Non-Management Directors. The Board reviews its leadership structure from time to time to determine whether this continues to best serve KBR and our stockholders, considering factors such as the current composition of the Board, Board effectiveness, and the current and future needs of KBR.

The Board currently believes that having a unified Chair and Chief Executive Officer roles, combined with the robust authority given to the Lead Independent Director, effectively represents the interests of stockholders and enables the Board to discharge appropriate levels of independence, oversight and responsibility to serve the Company.

Accordingly, during 2025, Mr. Stuart J. B. Bradie served as the Chair of our Board of Directors and Lt. General Wendy M. Masiello, USAF (Ret.) served as the Lead Independent Director of our Board of Directors.

Our CEO is responsible to the Board for the overall management and functioning of the Company. KBR's Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for two important checks on the CEO's authority:

● The CEO may not serve on any Board committees, and

● The CEO's performance evaluation includes a review of how well he keeps the Board informed on matters affecting the Company and its operating units.

Our Lead Independent Director acts as a liaison between the CEO and Chair and the other directors, assesses the performance and succession planning of the CEO and Chair, provides a meaningful point of contact for shareholders to raise concerns and ask questions, and helps maintain KBR's strong corporate governance by providing independent oversight and facilitating effective communication and building consensus within our Board of Directors.

### Director Independence
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that at least two-thirds of the Board must be independent directors. Directors are considered independent if they are not involved in any material relationships with KBR, either directly or indirectly. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth specific independence standards that are consistent with the requirements of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews KBR's definition of independence and the Board's compliance with our independence standards.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Our directors complete independence questionnaires at least annually. Our Board determines the independence of its members generally and considers whether various committee members meet the heightened independence or other requirements prescribed by the NYSE and SEC. Our Board determined that all our current directors are independent except Mr. Bradie, who serves as KBR's president and chief executive officer.  | **INDEPENDENT** | ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif)<br>![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a226.gif) |

---

Our Board believes that its membership should include no more than two directors who are also employees of KBR, though this number is not an absolute limitation. We believe KBR's chief executive officer should always be a member of the Board. Our chief executive officer has been the only employee director since KBR became an independent public company.

**Corporate Governance**

### Committees of the Board
KBR's Board does a substantial portion of its analysis and work with four standing committees, each of which is composed entirely of independent directors. In August 2025, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed the Board's committee structure and, based on a review of various factors and considerations, including the needs of the Board, the evolving focus areas and priorities of the Company and peer group benchmarking, among others, recommended to the Board to dissolve each of the Cybersecurity Committee and the Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee in favor of combining them to establish the Sustainability, Technology & Cybersecurity Committee. The Sustainability, Technology & Cybersecurity Committee is responsible for the oversight of matters previously delegated to the Cybersecurity Committee and the Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee.

Our Board approved charters for each of the committees that govern and set forth their respective duties, responsibilities, and actions. These charters are available on KBR's website at kbr.com/en/who-we-are/our-company/corporate-governance. Each committee reviews its charter annually and recommends changes, as necessary, to the Board.

### Enterprise Risk Management

### ERM Framework
The KBR Enterprise Risk Management Organization administers a fully integrated, enterprise-wide risk management ("ERM") framework. The framework enhances business resilience by encouraging uncertainty anticipation and resolution at all levels — from project to enterprise, globally, across all business units. The ERM team reports to the Chief Compliance Officer (who reports to the General Counsel).

The framework is key to enabling global, real-time visibility of KBR's risk profile, where crucial adjustments are the result of risk-based strategy decisions, which in turn lead to value-added communications to stakeholders. KBR's ERM mission is essential to growing a successful and sustainable business.

### ERM Program
Risk Management, as one of KBR's 10 Sustainability Pillars (as described in the section titled "*Sustainability and KBR*"), is key to driving KBR to sustainable business growth. Our resilience, success, and continued evolution depends on our ability to anticipate and respond to the constantly changing risks in our existing and future operating environments. By rooting ERM principles and practices in our culture and across our operations, we can consistently:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**visualize the entire risk landscape** |  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**capitalize on opportunities** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a274.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;**mitigate threats** | &nbsp;&nbsp;![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a275.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;**create value and predictable outcomes** |

---

Every employee is empowered to identify risks and opportunities. Under KBR's ERM Policy, every risk and opportunity is assigned to an owner, who is accountable for the ongoing management of the risk or opportunity, including the development and implementation of mitigation plans through to successful conclusion.

Risks and opportunities are identified and assessed consistently at the project, business unit, and enterprise levels:

● Stakeholder and multi-disciplinary subject-matter experts identify risks and opportunities and their owners.

● Owners develop detailed description, risk window, and applicability. Risks are categorized within the two-tier risk breakdown structure (taxonomy).

● Owners assess (score) risks and opportunities using a global scoring matrix for probability, commercial impact, schedule impact, reputational impact, and manageability, in three circumstances:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Original** | **Current** | **Target** |
| Inherent, unmitigated risk | Residual, mitigated with <br>existing controls and actions | Acceptable position |

---

● Owners develop responsive action plans, including due dates and action owners.

● Owners and project/business unit/enterprise ERM focal points regularly review risk/opportunity status, current score, and the effectiveness of action plans.

All risks and opportunities are managed on our cloud-based platform, which provides consistency and real-time data analytics and reporting.

KBR's Executive Leadership Team ("ELT") convenes for dedicated risk and opportunity reviews at least three times per year. The outputs are reported to our Board twice per year, and to individual business units and projects on a regular basis. This flow of information facilitates management of risks and opportunities, on an ongoing basis, using the ERM process and tools to provide real time risk-based data.

The ELT review of enterprise risks and opportunities is carried out in the context of the changing risk and opportunity landscape and KBR's strategy, which is embedded in the process such that strategy and the interconnected risks and opportunities are aligned.

### Board Oversight of ERM
Risk oversight is an integral part of the role of KBR's Board of Directors. KBR's Board holds discussions regarding risks and opportunities throughout the year.

The outputs from the ERM Program are formally presented to our Board twice per year. The ERM report includes strategic, operational, HSSE, information technology and cybersecurity, financial, geopolitical, sustainability and any new developing areas of risks and opportunities, as well as management's assessment of their likelihood and impact, the perceived trend for each (whether increasing, decreasing, or stable), and the measures being taken to monitor and manage those risks and opportunities.

Our Board has aligned the ERM Program with KBR's strategic goals, linking risk management to business performance. This robust program quickly identifies and assesses risks, ensuring timely and appropriate responses. Regular evaluations by the Board refine strategies, keeping KBR ahead of emerging risks.

**Corporate Governance**

### Management Succession Planning
As required by our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board, with input from the Lead Independent Director, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and Chair of the Board and CEO, regularly reviews KBR's succession plan and management development programs for all senior management positions. One of the elements that the CEO is evaluated on each year is the robustness of the executive succession plan, including assessment and development of internal candidates for the CEO and top-level executive positions.

The entire Board addresses issues relating to CEO succession planning regularly, and no less than annually, facilitated by the Lead Independent Director. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee performs the initial review of KBR's succession plans and makes recommendations to the Board as necessary, the entire Board has primary responsibility for CEO succession planning and develops both long-term and contingency plans for this purpose. This process necessarily involves developing and reviewing criteria for the CEO position that reflect KBR's business strategy and identifying and developing internal candidates or recognizing the need for external candidates, as appropriate.

### Board and Committee Evaluations
At the direction of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, we conduct an annual evaluation process to assess the performance of and enhance the overall effectiveness of our Board and its standing committees.

This process begins with our non-executive directors completing questionnaires regarding the performance of our Board as a group and the performance of each Board committee they serve.

---

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee presents the results of the questionnaires, which are compiled anonymously, to our Board and committees at regularly scheduled meetings. The Board and each committee discuss the results and findings of the questionnaires and identify areas for future focus or continued improvement.

---

These changes have also allowed more time for discussion, debate, and detailed reviews of key risk areas and opportunities, which drives strategic priorities and facilitates stronger governance and oversight. They have also sharpened the focus on strategic trends for KBR and augmented the Board's engagement and interaction with senior management and emerging talent within KBR.

### Board Refreshment

### Process for Selecting New Directors
The Board has delegated to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee the duty of selecting and recommending prospective nominees to the Board for approval. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers suggestions of candidates made by current committee and Board members, KBR management, and stockholders. The Committee also may retain an independent executive search firm to identify candidates for consideration. Stockholders may suggest candidates for nomination by contacting the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the manner provided under the section titled "*How to Contact the Board*." Candidates suggested by stockholders will be evaluated through the same process as candidates identified by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board, and KBR management.

#### Board NOMINATION PROCESS

|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>**IDENTIFY CANDIDATE**<br>| The Committee considers suggestions made by current committee and Board members, KBR management, stockholders, and executive search firms. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2**<br>**PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF CANDIDATE INFORMATION**<br>| The Committee reviews information provided by the endorser and the committee's (and other Board members') knowledge of the candidate to determine whether to carry out a full evaluation. This preliminary determination is based on the need for additional Board members (or for directors with particular skills or experience) and assesses the likelihood that the candidate will meet the Board membership criteria listed below. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3**<br>**EXTERNAL REPORT BY EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM**<br>| If a candidate warrants additional consideration, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may request an independent executive search firm to gather information about the candidate's background, experience, and reputation, and to report its findings to the committee. After reviewing that report, the committee then determines whether to interview the candidate. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4**<br>**INTERVIEW WITH CANDIDATE**<br>| Interviews are carried out by one or more members of the committee and others as appropriate. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**5**<br>**COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION** | Once the evaluation and interview are completed, the committee provides feedback and recommendations to the Board. The Board makes a determination of nominees after reviewing that input. |

### Board Practices and Procedures

### Attendance at Meetings

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Board members are expected to make every effort to attend the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which they serve, as well as annual stockholder meetings. KBR's directors attended 92% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and all meetings of each of the six standing committees in existence during 2025 (there are now four standing committees following the dissolution of the Cybersecurity Committee and Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee and establishment of the new Sustainability, Technology & Cybersecurity Committee in their place in August 2025). All our current directors attended our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders except for Messrs. Vigeveno and Von Thaer, who joined our Board of Directors after the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held. | 92% | ATTENDANCE AT ALL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS |

Vigeveno and Von Thaer, who joined our Board of Directors after the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held. | 100% | ATTENDANCE AT OUR 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS |

---

The Board of Directors meets each year immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at least four other times per year. Additional regular meetings are scheduled as needed, and special meetings may be called by the Chair of the Board, Lead Independent Director, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Corporate Secretary, or a majority of the directors in office. KBR's Bylaws permit action to be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board consent to such action in writing or by electronic transmission. During 2025, the Board of Directors held six regular meetings, one of which was conducted virtually, and two special meetings, both of which were conducted virtually. The Chair of the Board presides at all Board meetings.

During regular Board meetings, KBR's independent non-executive directors meet in scheduled executive sessions, which prior to May 14, 2025, were presided over by our former independent, non-executive Chair of the Board, and thereafter are presided over by our Lead Independent Director. During 2025, the non-executive directors met without management five times during regular Board meetings.

### Retirement Policy
Non-management directors may not seek re-election once they reach the age of 75; however, this retirement age may be extended under special circumstances if the Board deems it to be in the best interest of KBR.

Any director who retires from their principal current employment or experiences a material change to their employment status shall promptly notify the Board and offer to tender a letter of resignation to the Board, which shall only be effective if the Board accepts the resignation. On June 6, 2025, Mr. Etta notified the Chair of the Board that he resigned from his position as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of Omnicell, Inc. On September 8, 2025, Mr. Vigeveno notified the Chair of the Board that he accepted the role of Group Chief Executive Officer of MET Group effective January 1, 2026. Messrs. Etta and Vigeveno both offered to tender their resignation in accordance with the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board considered Messrs. Etta and Vigeveno's experience, background and contributions as directors on the Board and approved the recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to reject their offered resignations.

Management directors must retire from the Board at the same time they leave employment with KBR unless the Board approves continued service as a director.

### Service on Other Boards
KBR directors may not serve on the boards of directors of more than three other publicly held companies or investment companies. In addition, directors serving on the KBR Audit Committee may not serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies. Directors must advise the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee before accepting an invitation to serve on another board.

### Anti-Hedging Policy
Our anti-hedging policy prohibits all directors, employees, and agents from speculative trading in our securities; engaging in hedging transactions using our securities; "short selling" our securities; and trading derivative securities, such as put options, call options, swaps, or collars related to our securities.

The foregoing summary of our trading in company securities policies and procedures does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to our KBR, Inc.

### Director Compensation
The annual compensation for our non-executive Directors is shown below. Our Compensation Committee reviews the competitiveness of the compensation paid to our non-executive Directors at least annually. The results of the most recent review were presented to our Board in May 2025, and adjustments were made following this review to bring KBR's average non-executive director compensation closer to the median of compensation paid by our peers. The annual cash retainer increased from $120,000 to $125,000, effective from the second quarter of 2025, on a prorated basis, and for each subsequent calendar year. The annual equity grant value increased from $170,000 to $175,000 beginning in 2025 and for each subsequent calendar year.

Mr. Bradie does not receive any additional compensation for serving on our Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Quarterly cash payments made prior to the end of each quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Annual grant of restricted stock units that vest in full after six months. The number of restricted stock units awarded each non-employee director is equal to $175,000 divided by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant (rounded up to the next whole share). The annual equity grant is made under the Amended and Restated KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan ("KBR Stock and Incentive Plan").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The additional cash retainer for service as a non-executive Chair of the Board is not currently applicable but did apply through the second quarter of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) If a non-executive Chair of the Board or Lead Independent Director were to concurrently serve as the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, there would be no additional annual retainer for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair.

KBR's nonqualified elective deferral plan for non-executive Directors permits non-executive Directors to make an annual election to defer payment of some or all of their cash retainers and equity compensation for the following year. The non-executive Directors also have the option to elect to have their cash compensation converted to RSUs. For the 2025 plan year, Ms. Dugle elected to defer 100% of her equity compensation into the plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Directors who were also full-time officers or employees of KBR received no additional compensation for serving as directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The amounts in column (b) reflect fees earned in 2025, including fees that may have been deferred into the KBR Non-Employee Directors Elective Deferral Plan. Messrs. Von Thaer and Vigeveno joined the Board of Directors in May and August 2025, respectively, so they did not earn cash retainers for the full year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The amounts in column (c) represent the grant date fair value of awards granted in 2025 pursuant to the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The fair values were determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718, "*Stock Compensation*." Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are described in note 1 under "*Significant Accounting Policies*" and note 18 under "*Share-based Compensation and Incentive Plans*" of our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026. Dividends paid on the stock awards are not reported separately in this table because they are already factored into the grant date fair value. Except for Mr. Vigeveno, all directors were fully vested in their restricted stock units at the end of 2025 because their annual equity awards equal to $170,000 granted on February 27, 2025, vested in full on August 27, 2025, or with respect to Mr. Von Thaer, granted on May 14, 2025, vested on November 14, 2025, and their additional annual equity awards granted on May 19, 2025, to reflect the $5,000 increase to their annual equity award approved in May 2025 vested on November 19, 2025. Mr. Vigeveno's annual equity award, which was equal to the adjusted annual equity award of $175,000, was granted on August 5, 2025, and vested in full on February 5, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The aggregate earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation in General Lyles's cash retainer account under the KBR Non-Employee Directors Elective Deferral Plan did not exceed the aggregate earnings that would have been earned using 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate, so no above-market or preferential earnings are reported as compensation in 2025 for General Lyles in column (d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The amounts in column (e) reflect the reimbursement in 2025 of the taxes associated with the payments of travel expenses for spouses to accompany the Directors to one board meeting in 2024. There were no travel expenses for spouses in 2025.

### Director Stock Ownership Guidelines
Our Board of Directors established stock ownership guidelines for the non-executive directors to link their financial interests with those of KBR's stockholders. Non-executive directors are required to own KBR stock in an amount equal to **five times** the annual cash retainer within five years of joining the Board of Directors. As shown below, all of our non-executive directors who have served at least five years are in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines.

### Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
We perform many of our projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction, operations, or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our subcontractor revenues or expenses; however, we recognize profit on our subcontractor scope of work up to, but not in excess of, the joint venture's percent complete on its scope of work. We recognize revenue over time on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and our services provided to joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting.

### Related Person Policies
Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy requiring approval of any transactions involving our directors, executive officers, nominees for director, any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of KBR's voting securities, and any of their respective immediate family members. This policy covers transactions, arrangements, or relationships or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) KBR (including any of our subsidiaries) is or will be a participant,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any calendar year, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or holding less than a 10% beneficial ownership interest in another entity), and which is required by SEC rules to be disclosed in our public filings.

The Board of Directors will only approve a transaction with related persons when the Board determines such transaction is in the best interests of KBR or our stockholders. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Board of Directors will consider the following factors and such other factors as it deems appropriate:

● whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances;

● whether the transaction is material to KBR or the related person;

● the role the related person has played in arranging the related person transaction;

● the structure of the related person transaction;

● the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction;

● whether there are alternative sources for the subject of the transaction;

● the business reason(s) for entering into the transaction;

● whether the transaction would impair the independence of an otherwise independent director; and

● whether the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer of KBR.

There were no related-person transactions identified for fiscal year 2025.

**Sustainability and KBR**

### Our Impact
Our commitment to supporting resilient and sustainable growth starts from the very highest level of our organization with the Sustainability, Technology and Cybersecurity Committee of the Board providing oversight of the policies and procedures that guide the organization. Our Board oversees the broader management system that shapes how we operate responsibly, ensuring that our governance, controls and processes support ethical, sustainable and effective business practices across the organization.

In support of this governance framework, the organization is guided by a suite of core principles and procedures that set clear expectations for ethical and sustainable practices. These include our Code of Business Conduct, Global Sustainability Policy, Global Environmental Policy, Global Human Rights policy and related procedures. Together they shape our business practices and behaviors outlining our intentions for preserving our planet and contributing positively to society.

Building on this foundation, we reinforce accountability through clear, measurable performance expectations. Our topline KPIs, aligned to our Sustainability Pillars, are integrated into our short-term incentive plan for key executives, ensuring sustainability performance directly influences our leadership outcomes.

To further support credibility, transparency and consistency in our sustainability reporting, we publicly submit standardized data and performance metrics to leading, globally recognized frameworks and standards. These include: International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), Climate Disclosure Project (CDP), EcoVadis, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Global Reporting Index (GRI) and the U.N. Global Compact. We also regularly and formally engage with our key stakeholder groups for continuous improvement.

|:---|:---|
| **Environmental Impact**<br>Measuring and managing our environmental impacts, including energy consumption, waste generation, water use and the emissions associated with energy sources within our sphere of influence (including relevant scope 3 categories) helps ensure we provide robust, comparable data to our stakeholders. Tracking these indicators against recognized standards such as CDP and the SBTi strengthens credibility of our disclosures and validates our progress towards our net zero goals. This approach aligns our environmental performance with shareholder and client expectations for transparent, science aligned and independently assessed sustainability outcomes.<br>Building on this commitment, we continue to invest in innovative sustainable solutions that help our customers advance their own decarbonization and circular-economy objectives. Our investments span a range of emerging and scalable technologies, including plastics recycling, cleaner battery solutions, green hydrogen and ammonia, clean refining and aviation fuel. We continue to expand our offerings in sustainable infrastructure, estate modernization, and broader sustainability consulting, supporting customers as they transition to efficient, lower-carbon, more resilient, future ready business models. | ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a343.jpg) |

They guide how we safeguard health and safety, foster a fully inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, and create opportunities for employees to support and give back to the communities in which we operate.<br>Being a good corporate citizen is essential to who we are, and we work hard to contribute positively to the places we live and work. Our people play an active role in these communities through charitable giving and outreach efforts, supported by initiatives that have enabled KBR to contribute more than **$20 million to charitable causes worldwide since 2007**. KBR's 19<sup>th</sup> annual charity golf tournament at the Clubs of Kingwood in Texas raised over $1.5 million for charities in 2025. Since 2007, the KBR Charity Golf Tournament has raised more than $13.2 million for local and national nonprofits. | ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a344.jpg) |

Complementing these efforts, KBR One Ocean, our global education and outreach program that inspires students to protect and restore our oceans, is now active in 25 schools across Saudi Arabia, six in the U.K., expanding into new schools in Australia, and running for six years in Singapore. The program is also extending its reach by engaging local Scouting and Guiding groups, further strengthening KBR's role as a responsible global citizen and deepening our connection to the communities where we live and work.

**Sustainability and KBR**

We have embedded our values in our business processes, established them as a foundation for our learning and development activities and regularly celebrate employees who epitomize our values-led behavior. While our One KBR Values unite us, as a global business operating in distinct markets and environments, we recognize and respect that our cultures are different. Acknowledging these differences, our ethos weaves a golden thread through KBR. Our employees take enormous pride in being part of an organization with a philosophical, practical and proven commitment to fostering an environment in which our people can belong, connect and grow.

| **HEALTH AND SAFETY** | **ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE** |
| We are subject to numerous worker health and safety laws and regulations across the globe. Our commitment to the health and safety of each employee as well as anyone we work with is the foundation of our **Zero Harm** culture. We know that our employees' willingness to implement each commitment into their daily work tasks is vital to our operations and has contributed to our industry-leading safety performance among our customers, partners and peers.<br>The six core processes that comprise our **Transactional Health, Safety, Security, Environmental ("HSSE") Management** that lead to Transformational Leadership are non-negotiable KBR safety standards that are required to be observed and followed by employees and contractors at all locations and projects. By requiring our employees to personally internalize and adhere to these standards, we aim to safeguard our individual health and safety and the well-being of all those around us.<br>We provide the tools our people need to achieve the mindset of 24/7 Zero Harm such as our **Courage to Care Conversation** program, which is instrumental in developing a continual awareness of unsafe acts through observation, intervention and conversation. The goal of the Courage to Care Conversation is to continuously evaluate the work environment and to focus on people and their actions.<br>Thanks to our people's commitment to our Zero Harm culture, we recorded another consecutive year of industry-leading HSSE performance, with a total recordable incident rate of 0.033.<br>Our Journey to Zero Harm has allowed us to create a company culture where safe execution is non-negotiable and people take responsibility and accountability. When it comes to safety, we strive for one number: Zero. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KBR's ethics and our Code of Business Conduct (the "Code") are rooted in our values and provide the standards and support to help us successfully navigate issues, make the right decisions, and conduct our business with the integrity that reflects our heritage and ethical reputation. Additionally, our Code is essential to how we as a Team of Teams interact with the world around us and to our success.<br>We believe that an ethical culture, where employees are treated fairly, respectfully and without favoritism, is key to employee satisfaction and retention. We promote a speak-up culture where employees are comfortable making reports of possible unethical behavior and workplace issues. The Business Integrity Team provides an easy to access Ethics Hotline and numerous other channels for employees to receive advice, confidentially or anonymously, on ethical or other inquiries. Employees speaking up and reporting issues enable us to address and remediate these issues early and effectively while instilling confidence that employee concerns are heard and addressed.<br>Retaliation undermines a speak-up culture and is not tolerated. Our Code and our Business Integrity program set forth our anti-retaliation commitment, which is reinforced in our communications and our annual Ethics training. To further convey to the workforce that reports of unethical behavior are investigated and remediated, the Ethics training incorporates examples of past misconduct incidents. |

---

The Board of Directors is providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Our Compensation Committee establishes, recommends, and governs all the compensation and benefits policies and actions for KBR's NEOs, as discussed in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this proxy statement.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consistent with our compensation philosophy, our executive compensation program was designed to achieve the following primary objectives: | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consistent with our compensation philosophy, our executive compensation program was designed to achieve the following primary objectives: |
| <br>· provide a clear and direct relationship between executive pay and company (and business segment, as applicable) performance, both on a short- and long-term basis;<br>· emphasize operating performance measures;<br>· link executive pay to measures of stockholder value;<br>· support our business strategies and management processes in order to motivate our executives; and<br>| <br>· generally target base salary, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and total compensation levels near the 50th percentile of the competitive market for good performance, and above the 50th percentile of the competitive market for consistent, outstanding performance.<br>|

---

In light of these objectives, KBR provides pay that is highly dependent on performance. We continually review best practices in governance and executive compensation. Consistent with such best practices, KBR:

● does not maintain employment agreements with the NEOs;

● does not provide excise tax gross-ups;

● has incentive plans that discourage undue risk and align executive rewards with short- and long-term company performance; and

● requires executives to satisfy stock ownership requirements.

For the reasons discussed above, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

"**RESOLVED**, that the compensation paid to KBR's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby **APPROVED**."

While the resolution is non-binding, the Board of Directors values your opinion and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions.

### Overview of Executive Compensation Philosophy, Policies and Practices

#### Key Considerations in Determining Executive Compensation

---

| |
|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Compensation Committee regularly reviews the elements of the individual compensation packages for our NEOs, with a goal of ensuring that: |
| <br>· Pay packages align executives' interests with our stockholders' interests;<br>· Performance metrics are sufficiently challenging;<br>· Target pay packages reflect an appropriate mix of short-term and long-term incentives; and<br>· Total compensation, as well as each individual compensation element, is targeted near the 50th percentile of the competitive market for good performance and above the 50th percentile of the competitive market for consistent, outstanding performance, taking into consideration factors like differences in our NEOs' respective responsibilities compared to responsibilities ascribed to their counterparts at our peers, as well as experience, retention risk, and internal pay equity.<br>|

---

Our executive compensation program is regularly reviewed to ensure that it remains consistent with these objectives and is administered in accordance with established compensation policies.

#### Role of the Board and the Compensation Committee
Each year, usually in December, our non-executive directors meet in executive session to evaluate the performance of our Chief Executive Officer, considering qualitative and quantitative elements of the CEO's performance.

The CEO's evaluation and compensation for the next full year, including an evaluation of whether the CEO has created adequate management succession programs, are communicated to the CEO by the Lead Independent Director after review and approval by our Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors (other than the CEO).

Based on the CEO's recommendations and in concert with him, our Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the compensation and incentive awards for our Senior Executive Management.

---

#### Role of Independent Consultants
Under its charter, our Compensation Committee is authorized to retain a compensation consultant and has the sole authority to approve the consultant's fees and other retention terms. While we believe that retaining third-party consultants is an efficient way to remain informed about competitive compensation practices, the advice of outside professionals is just one of many factors the Compensation Committee considers. Most importantly, we design and adjust our compensation program to address the program's intended objectives.

In 2025, our Compensation Committee used the services of one compensation consulting firm, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian"). Our Compensation Committee engaged and managed its relationship with Meridian directly, and Meridian reported directly to our Compensation Committee. Outside of providing advisory services to our Compensation Committee, Meridian provided no other services to KBR or our affiliates.

Meridian's work for KBR included advising our Compensation Committee, as requested, with respect to all executive compensation matters and various director compensation matters, including:

● A review of CEO pay considerations for 2025;

● A review of our short-term and long-term incentive design and peer groups for the 2025-2026 compensation cycle;

● Regular updates on notable legislative and regulatory activities;

● Competitive market studies of compensation for Senior Executive Management and for non-executive directors; and

● A review of the risk profile of our short-term and long-term incentive programs.

In December 2025, our Compensation Committee reviewed the independence factors prescribed by the SEC (as well as other factors identified by the NYSE) as affecting the independence of a consultant or adviser, including the following:

● Whether Meridian provides other services to KBR;

● The amount of fees Meridian received from KBR as a percentage of that firm's total revenue;

● Meridian's policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest;

● Whether there is any business or personal relationship between an individual Meridian compensation consultant or other adviser and a member of our Compensation Committee;

● Whether there is any business or personal relationship between an individual Meridian compensation consultant, principal, or employee, or Meridian as an organization, and any of KBR's executive officers; and

● Whether Meridian or any of its principals or employees owns any stock of KBR.

Based on the results of this review, our Compensation Committee confirmed Meridian's independence and lack of any conflicts of interest in 2025 and approved the continued retention of Meridian for 2026.

#### Peer Groups
In the design and administration of our 2025 executive compensation programs for our NEOs, our Compensation Committee considered competitive market data from a peer group (the "Peer Group"). As discussed under the section titled "*KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards*" on page 66, the Compensation Committee also refers to a "TSR Peer Group" for limited purposes related to the NEOs' long-term incentive awards.

The Peer Group comprised 18 companies for the 2024-2025 compensation cycle. The Peer Group was unchanged from the 2023-2024 compensation cycle except for the removal of Conduent Incorporated due to its financial position.

The Peer Group was formed based on a review considering KBR's two operating business segments in fiscal 2024 — Government Solutions (renamed Mission Technology Solutions as part of a segment realignment for fiscal 2025) and Sustainable Technology Solutions — and several factors relating to the constituent companies, including:

● an analysis of certain financial metrics (such as revenue, net assets, market capitalization, enterprise value, and number of employees),

● business strategies,

● the effects of corporate transactions, and

● the availability of market data.

The Peer Group companies have operations in the following industry sectors:

● government services,

● information technology consulting,

● engineering and construction, and

● industrial and manufacturing.

Our Compensation Committee believes the Peer Group companies appropriately represent KBR's market for key management and technical talent and are the companies against which KBR most competes for employees and business.

The compensation data for our Peer Group was obtained from publicly available sources, including proxy statements and Form 4 and 8-K disclosures, and was not adjusted, and the Equilar Executive Compensation Survey (which Meridian used to analyze peer company compensation data that was not publicly available).

During 2025, our Compensation Committee asked Meridian to review the appropriateness of the Peer Group for assessing the competitiveness of our executive compensation programs. As a result of Meridian's review and recommendation, our Compensation Committee maintained the same Peer Group for 2026 compensation benchmarking.

### Summary of 2025 Target Compensation of Named Executive Officers
The table below reflects target annual compensation and is not intended to replace the more detailed information provided in the Summary Compensation table. The target dollar amounts for restricted stock units and performance cash and stock awards represent 33⅓% and 66⅔% of the long-term performance incentives, respectively. The number of restricted stock units is determined by dividing the target dollar amount by the closing price of KBR common stock on the date of grant. The target number of performance cash and stock award units that represents the right to receive one share of KBR common stock if the TSR performance metric is achieved is determined by dividing the target dollar amount of the TSR portion of the award by the closing price of KBR common stock on the date of grant. See the section titled "*Long-Term Performance Incentives*" for more information. The target value used to determine the number of shares subject to each award differs from the grant date fair value of the awards reported in the Summary Compensation Table, which is calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards and reflects additional valuation assumptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Ms. Myles's base salary is approved and paid in British Pounds. STI payouts are paid in local currency, so Ms. Myles's STI payouts are also paid in British Pounds. Her 2025 base salary was £431,985, and her target 2025 STI was £431,985, but both have been converted to U.S. Dollars in the table above for presentations purposes using the exchange rate of £1 to $1.3686, which was the exchange rate used when presenting her proposed 2025 STI payout in U.S. Dollars to the Compensation Committee for approval in February 2026. See the section titled "KPIs and STI Payout for Ms. Myles" for more information on her 2025 STI payout.

### Elements of Compensation
Our executive compensation program has been designed to ensure that KBR can attract and retain talented executives who are motivated to pursue KBR's strategies, focus employees' efforts, and achieve business success. The compensation program also must align executives' interests with stockholders' interests. There is no pre-established formula for the allocation between cash and non-cash compensation or between short-term and long-term compensation. Instead, each year our Compensation Committee determines, in its discretion and business judgment, the appropriate level and mix of compensation to reward our NEOs for near-term superior performance and to encourage commitment to our long-range strategic business goals. When making these decisions, our Compensation Committee is always mindful of our philosophy that the majority of NEO compensation should vary with KBR's performance.

|:---|:---|
| ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a368.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Short-Term Incentives (Annual)** |

---

Our Compensation Committee established the KBR Senior Executive Performance Pay Plan (the "Performance Pay Plan") to reward Senior Executive Management for improving financial results for our stockholders by linking cash compensation to the achievement of KBR's short-term financial performance and individual annual goals. The Performance Pay Plan was created under the stockholder-approved Amended and Restated KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan ("KBR Stock and Incentive Plan"), which is described in more detail in the "*KBR Stock and Incentive Plan*" section of this proxy statement.

#### Incentive Award Opportunities
In December 2024, our Compensation Committee met to determine the 2025 target awards for our NEOs under the Performance Pay Plan. These target STI awards, which are expressed as percentages of base salary, were generally set to be consistent with the median target awards for executives in similar positions within our Peer Group. The STI award threshold (25%), target (100%), and maximum (200%) payout opportunities for 2025 are shown below.

#### 2025 STI Performance Metrics
The performance metrics we used for 2025 STI awards focus our NEOs on the key measures of success in connection with the execution of our strategic plan. No changes were made to the design of the STI Plan for 2025 because the STI Plan in effect in 2024 was still considered to be aligned with the interests of KBR and our stockholders. However, our Compensation Committee updated the specific goals for each performance metric to ensure they remained challenging and competitive.

The table below summarizes the 2025 performance metrics and weightings for our CEO and other NEOs. We believe these are the most important metrics for measuring our NEOs' efforts to drive KBR's growth and create value for our stockholders.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Performance Metric** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Performance Metric** | **Weighting** | **Rationale** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**KBR Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS")** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted EPS measures net income divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares of KBR common stock outstanding. Adjusted EPS excludes certain amounts included in diluted EPS. | ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a369.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;This metric helps to align our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders because strong adjusted EPS generally increases the value of our stock. We consider buybacks when reviewing adjusted EPS achievement to provide for an accurate comparison against the pre-established target. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**KBR Adjusted Consolidated Operating Cash Flow ("OCF")** | &nbsp;&nbsp;KBR adjusted OCF measures the amount of cash generated by KBR's operations. | ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a370.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Our adjusted OCF target is based on KBR's 2025 budgeted cash flows from operations and is aligned with our capital deployment strategy.

#### Target Performance Goals
When establishing target performance goals for the STI awards for 2025, our Compensation Committee considered, among other things, projected company performance and general business and industry conditions, as well as our strategic business objectives. At the time the target goals are established, the outcomes are intended to be substantially uncertain but achievable with better-than-expected performance from our NEOs. Our Compensation Committee adopted target performance goals for our STI metrics that maintained the same rigor as the performance goals from the prior year, especially in light of our strategic goal to position KBR for long-term growth.

Our Compensation Committee established the 2025 threshold, target, and maximum performance goals shown in the table on the next page. The threshold, target, and maximum award payout levels remained at 25%, 100%, and 200%, respectively. Each performance metric can earn a result from 0% to 200% of target. Achievement less than the threshold payout level earns a 0% metric result. For achievement between threshold and target or target and maximum, the metric result is determined by linear interpolation. The actual metric result is multiplied by the metric weighting to determine the metric payout. The results and payouts were certified by our Compensation Committee in February 2026.

---

Under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, our Compensation Committee made grants to our NEOs in 2025 in the form of KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards and KBR Restricted Stock Units. This section discusses the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, the methodology used by our Compensation Committee to determine the mix of awards to grant, and the actual 2025 grants to the NEOs.

#### KBR STOCK AND INCENTIVE PLAN
We use long-term performance incentives to achieve three objectives:

● reward consistent value creation and achievement of operating performance goals;

● align management's interests with stockholders' interests; and

● encourage long-term perspectives and commitment.

Long-term incentives represent the largest component of the total executive compensation opportunity for our executives.

The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan provides for a variety of cash and stock-based awards, including:

● nonqualified and incentive stock options,

● restricted stock/units,

● performance shares/units,

● stock appreciation rights, and

● stock value equivalents (also known as phantom stock).

The KBR Stock and Incentive Plan allows our Compensation Committee the discretion to select from among these types of awards to establish individual long-term incentive ("LTI") awards. Our Compensation Committee met in December 2024 to review the number of shares available under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan for future stock-based awards and to review the CEO's recommendations for the value of the LTI awards to Senior Executive Management. The Compensation Committee met again in February 2025 to review and approve the amount and mix of LTI awards to be granted to our NEOs.

#### TARGET AWARD LEVELS
For purposes of establishing the target dollar value of the LTI awards, our Compensation Committee requested that Meridian review our NEOs' LTI compensation as part of its engagement to advise the Compensation Committee on all executive compensation matters. Based on this review and related information about our Peer Group, in February 2025, our Compensation Committee approved the grant of the following LTI target dollar values to our NEOs:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Bright<sup>(1)</sup> | 30.8% | 400000 | 1700000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Market data alignment<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Strong performance<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Internal pay equity<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Promotion<sup>(1)</sup> |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Mr. Bright's 2025 LTI target dollar value increased from $1,350,000 to $1,700,000 in connection with his promotion to Chief Operating Officer effective May 1, 2025. His 2025 LTI award was forfeited due to his termination of employment on July 11, 2025.

These awards consist of a mix of 66⅔% KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards (based on target value) and 33⅓% time-based KBR Restricted Stock Units. Our Compensation Committee concluded that this allocation was consistent with KBR's pay-for-performance objectives. In particular, KBR awarded a higher percentage of performance-based awards (66⅔%) than the companies in our Peer Group because our Compensation Committee believes that emphasizing the two performance metrics for these awards — book-to-bill ("B2B") and relative TSR — is more likely than other forms of incentive compensation to promote a sustained increase in stockholder value.

| The KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards are designed to provide selected executives with incentive opportunities that are contingent on the level of achievement of pre-established corporate performance objectives.

For the awards granted to our NEOs in February 2025, our Compensation Committee selected B2B and relative TSR, each weighted 50%, as described below. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**DEFINITION**<br>KBR's average quarterly TSR over the three-year performance period is compared to the average quarterly TSR of each company of our TSR Peer Group\* over the same period. | **DEFINITION**<br>B2B is a measurement of the value of awarded contracts in comparison to revenue earned in the period. B2B is a standard industry metric for both government and commercial/ industrial peers. |
| The KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards are designed to provide selected executives with incentive opportunities that are contingent on the level of achievement of pre-established corporate performance objectives. For the awards granted to our NEOs in February 2025, our Compensation Committee selected B2B and relative TSR, each weighted 50%, as described below. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**OBJECTIVE**<br>The objective of this metric is to directly link the payout to KBR's average TSR performance relative to its peers, promoting stockholders' interest. | **OBJECTIVE**<br>The objective of this metric is to measure and reward mid- and long-term organizational growth. A B2B greater than 1.0x indicates a company has been awarded more work than the revenue recognized in the period and results in an increase in ending backlog, another financial metric used to gauge the overall health of a company. Establishing B2B targets greater than 1.0x aligns incentive compensation with KBR's long-term stockholder value creation. |

A B2B greater than 1.0x indicates a company has been awarded more work than the revenue recognized in the period and results in an increase in ending backlog, another financial metric used to gauge the overall health of a company. Establishing B2B targets greater than 1.0x aligns incentive compensation with KBR's long-term stockholder value creation. |

---

For the 2025 grants, B2B and TSR will be measured over a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2025, and ending December 31, 2027. Our Compensation Committee believes that a three-year performance award cycle encourages retention and aligns with long-term stockholder returns.

When establishing target levels for the B2B and TSR performance metrics, our Compensation Committee considered, among other things, projected company performance and general business and industry conditions, as well as KBR's strategic business objectives. At the time the target levels were established, the outcomes were intended to be substantially uncertain, but achievable.

The KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards for each NEO were allocated one-half to the B2B portion and one-half to the TSR portion.

● The B2B portion of the award is based on a $1.00 target value for each unit and will be paid out in cash. The actual value of each unit may increase to a maximum of 200% of $1.00, or $2.00, or decrease to as low as $0.00, depending on KBR's performance in relation to the B2B performance goal.

● For the TSR portion of the award, the Compensation Committee granted a target number of units that each represent the right to receive one share of KBR common stock if the performance metric is achieved. The number of such units initially is determined by dividing the target value of the TSR portion of the award by the closing price of a share of KBR common stock on the grant date (rounded up to the next whole unit). The number of units ultimately earned may increase to a maximum of 200% of the original number of units granted, or decrease to 0, in each case depending on KBR's performance in relation to the TSR performance objective.

#### TSR METRIC
TSR is measured based on a sustained approach rather than a cumulative (point-to-point) approach. Our Compensation Committee believes that measuring TSR just from the beginning of the performance period to the end would not adequately capture stockholder value. In contrast, our sustained measurement approach considers how investors fare at different times during the three-year performance period.

We measure sustained performance as follows:

● calculate the TSR of each company in the TSR Peer Group (measured using a 20-trading-day average price) every quarter during the three-year performance period

● use each company's 12 quarterly TSRs to calculate the company's average TSR for the performance period

● rank KBR's average TSR (calculated in the same manner) against those results

The TSR percentile is calculated by subtracting KBR's TSR ranking as compared to the TSR Peer Group from the total number of companies in the TSR Peer Group (including KBR), dividing the difference by the number of companies (excluding KBR), and multiplying the quotient by 100%. If any companies are removed from the TSR Peer Group (e.g., due to acquisition by another company or significant divestiture), then the TSR percentiles and payout percentages will adjust for the change in the number of companies; provided, however, that the adjustment must require at least a 90.0 percentile to receive the maximum TSR payout, at least a 50.0 percentile to receive the target TSR payout, and at least a 20.0 percentile to receive the threshold TSR payout. The 2025 TSR Peer Group of 20 companies (including KBR) and corresponding TSR percentiles and payout percentages are shown in the table below. The payout associated with KBR's TSR ranking following any applicable adjustments to the TSR percentiles and payout percentages will be applied to each NEO's TSR-based award.

For our CEO and any of his direct reports who are also KBR officers required to file reports with the SEC under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, if KBR's average TSR at the end of the three-year performance period is negative, the payment of vested performance units will not exceed the target (100%) payout under the TSR Peer Group Percentile and TSR Payout Percentage Table. This provision does not apply upon a double trigger event occurring during the three-year performance period.

#### B2B METRIC
The remaining 50% of the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards will be determined based on B2B over the same three-year performance period. B2B is appropriately measured over three years because our contracts are long-term in nature and often involve amendments and scope adjustments that might distort a shorter performance period. We believe using three-year B2B as a performance metric incentivizes the NEOs to win the right work, which is one of our key strategic priorities and a means to create long-term growth and position KBR for a strong and stable future amidst economic volatility.

Our Compensation Committee establishes the B2B target one year at a time — rather than setting a target for the entire three-year performance period — because it is difficult to forecast B2B beyond one year in the ever-changing market conditions. The final award for the B2B metric will be determined by the average of the B2B payout percentages achieved during each year of the performance period.

The 2025 performance goals and associated payouts for B2B are shown below.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Performance Goal | 0.90 | 1.05 | ≥ 1.20 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Payout %\* | 25%  | 100%  | 200%  |

---

\* For a result between threshold and target and target and maximum, the payout is determined by linear interpolation.

Our Compensation Committee will set the B2B targets for the second and third years in the performance period at levels that remain rigorous.

#### Possible Negative Discretion
Regardless of KBR's TSR and B2B performance, 20% of the 2025 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Award target opportunity was subject to forfeiture if our Compensation Committee determined, in its sole discretion, that 2025 was not a successful year for us. The possible 20% reduction is determined by our Compensation Committee on or before March 31, 2026, and the amount forfeited cannot be earned back during the three-year performance period, which runs from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027. There is no upside opportunity to this discretion; our Compensation Committee is not authorized to increase payouts, even if 2025 is a particularly strong year. In February 2026, our Compensation Committee determined that 2025 was a successful year for KBR and, accordingly, it did not exercise its discretion to cause a forfeiture of 20% of the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Award target opportunity.

Similarly, the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards that were granted to our NEOs in 2025 provide our Compensation Committee with the discretion to reduce for poor performance, but not increase, by any amount (including a reduction resulting in no payout) the payments that would otherwise be made with respect to such awards. This negative discretion may be exercised by our Compensation Committee at any time before payment is made with respect to these awards, but it may not be exercised following the occurrence of a corporate change (as defined in the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan). Our Compensation Committee did not exercise negative discretion to reduce the payments made under the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards that were granted to our NEOs in 2023.

---

\*The Target TSR-Related Shares of Stock is determined by dividing the target value of the TSR portion (50%) of the Target Performance Cash and Stock Award by the closing price of a share of KBR common stock on the grant date (rounded up to the next whole unit). The date of grant was February 22, 2023, and the closing price of a share of KBR common stock on that date was $55.70.

#### KBR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
The KBR Restricted Stock Units granted to our NEOs in 2025 will vest in three equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service with KBR. For KBR Restricted Stock Units subject to the U.S./U.K. forms of grant agreements, dividend equivalents will be paid on restricted stock units at the same time dividends, if any, are paid to common stockholders. For KBR Restricted Stock Units subject to the international (excluding the U.K.) forms of grant agreements, dividend equivalents will accrue on restricted stock units at the same time dividends, if any, are paid to common stockholders but will not be paid until such shares of KBR common stock underlying the restricted stock units have been settled. Our Compensation Committee determined the number of restricted stock units for each NEO by dividing the portion of the total target long-term incentive award allocated to KBR restricted stock units (33⅓%) by $48.29, the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant (rounded up to the next whole share). Our Compensation Committee selected a three-year vesting schedule to facilitate retention and to provide incentives to enhance long-term value.

As with the KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards, 20% of the restricted stock unit grants was subject to forfeiture based on the discretion of our Compensation Committee if it determined on or before the first anniversary of the date of grant that 2025 was not a successful year for us. Any amount of restricted stock units forfeited could not be earned back during the second and third years of the three-year vesting period. In February 2026, our Compensation Committee determined that 2025 was a successful year for KBR and, accordingly, it did not exercise its discretion to cause a forfeiture of 20% of the KBR Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**NO CHANGES MADE TO KBR'S 2026 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS**<br>No changes were made to the design of the LTI Plan for 2026 because the LTI Plan in effect in 2025 is still considered to be aligned with the interests of KBR and our stockholders. The TSR Peer Group for the 2026 LTI Plan includes the same companies used to benchmark the 2026 executive compensation for our NEOs.<br>

### Other Compensation Elements

#### Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
We maintain two active nonqualified deferred compensation plans in which our NEOs may participate: the KBR Elective Deferral Plan and the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan. Both plans are available to all KBR employees who meet the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as applicable. KBR maintains these plans because similar plans are offered by many of the companies in our Peer Group. Our NEOs do not participate in any KBR-sponsored defined benefit pension plans.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **KBR Elective Deferral Plan** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The KBR Elective Deferral Plan helps certain employees meet their retirement and other future income needs. No company contributions are made to fund deferrals under this plan. Benefits under this plan are payable upon a termination of employment or at a future date specified by the employee. |
| **KBR Benefit Restoration Plan** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The KBR Benefit Restoration Plan provides a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits that are reduced because of limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or because an employee participates in other company-sponsored plans. Benefits under this plan are payable upon a termination of employment. |

---

#### Severance and Change-in-Control Protection
Our Compensation Committee offers certain members of Senior Executive Management a severance and change-in-control agreement (an "Agreement"), each of which is substantially the same for each NEO. We believe that providing termination benefits under a severance and change-in-control agreement allows KBR to be competitive with the practices of the companies in the Peer Group, as well as the general market. In addition, the specific terms for receiving termination benefits under the Agreements serve to motivate and retain key employees. The Agreements offered to our NEOs are further described in the sections titled "*2025 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change In Control*" and "*Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements*."

The Agreement requires a double-trigger change-in-control termination (i.e., the occurrence of both a change in control and a termination of employment within two years thereafter) in order for an executive to receive change-in-control benefits. None of the Agreements contain an excise tax gross-up, and our Compensation Committee has committed not to provide for such gross-ups in the future.

Our Compensation Committee offered the Agreement to Mr. Bradie in June 2014, Mr. Ibrahim in May 2015, Mr. Sopp in February 2017, Mr. Bright and Ms. Myles in January 2021, and Ms. Galindo in November 2021 because each of our other members of Senior Executive Management at those times had an Agreement or to incentivize them to leave their former employer and join KBR. The Agreements terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) the executive's termination of employment with KBR or (ii) two years after a change in control that occurs during the term of the Agreement.

The Agreement provides for:

● Severance termination benefits (prior to a change in control), which for Mr. Sopp, were graded based on service time with KBR;

● Double-trigger change-in-control termination benefits (after a change in control); and

● Death, disability, and retirement benefits.

As a condition of receiving these benefits (other than the death and disability benefits), the applicable executive must first execute a release and full settlement agreement.

The Agreement contains customary confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation covenants, as well as a mandatory arbitration provision. In addition, the Agreement contains a clawback provision that allows KBR to recover any benefits paid under the Agreement if our Compensation Committee determines within two years after the executive's termination of employment that the executive's employment could have been terminated for "Cause," as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement provides that in any involuntary or voluntary termination, executives forfeit all unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance cash awards granted to such executive. Such awards will fully vest upon a double-trigger change-in-control termination.

#### Other Benefits
Generally, our NEOs participate in the same retirement and health and welfare programs as our other employees. In 2025, all our NEOs except for Ms. Myles participated in a 401(k) plan, under which KBR made employer matching contributions up to 6% of eligible compensation. In 2025, Ms. Myles received a cash payment in lieu of an 8% employer matching contribution to the KBR U.K. Limited Pension Plan. Our NEOs' health care and insurance coverage are the same as those provided to other active employees, except that the NEOs are eligible to receive an executive physical under our Zero Harm initiative and our CEO receives a global welfare plan to ensure he has easy access to medical care worldwide due to his extensive business travel.

NEOs are eligible to receive limited financial planning advice. Otherwise, we typically do not offer perquisites to our NEOs that are not generally available to other employees. With a few exceptions, our executives do not have company cars or allowances for cars, housing, or travel, unless we ask them to relocate. Ms. Myles receives a car allowance, which is an executive employee benefit offered to our corporate employees located in the U.K.

To allow for maximum efficiency and productive use of time, we have one leased car and a driver in Houston for use by our NEOs and others for business purposes. Our NEOs may use this car and the driver for limited personal use only if the car is not being used for business purposes at that time.

### Stock-Related Policies

#### Stock Ownership Guidelines for Officers
We established stock ownership guidelines for certain of our officers and officers of our subsidiaries to link these officers' financial interests more closely with those of our stockholders. Our Board of Directors adopted ownership guidelines for our executives at the levels indicated below.

---

Each executive subject to the ownership guidelines has five years after the adoption of the guidelines or his or her appointment to a covered position, whichever is later, to achieve the indicated ownership level. All beneficially owned shares of KBR common stock, as well as vested and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, are counted towards achievement of the ownership guidelines. For purposes of determining compliance, the value of an executive's shares of common stock is determined based on the closing price of the common stock on the selected date. An executive who has achieved the applicable ownership level is not required to retain or purchase additional shares if a decline in the price of the common stock causes his or her holdings to fall below the requisite ownership level. For any executive other than the CEO, the Chief Operating Officer (if any), the CFO, and the General Counsel, the required ownership level is reduced by fifty percent on and after the executive's 60th birthday.

All our NEOs who have served in their covered positions at least five years are in compliance with our Stock Ownership Guidelines.

#### NEO 2026 STOCK OWNERSHIP

\* Messrs. Ibrahim and Sopp's required ownership value is based on fifty percent of their 2026 base salaries because they both meet the age reduction rule under the stock ownership guidelines.

#### No Pledging or Hedging
No KBR officer may pledge, hypothecate, create any lien or security interest on, or enter into a margin contract secured by, any shares, options to purchase shares, or any other interest in shares of KBR common stock. In addition, our anti-hedging policy prohibits all members of our Board of Directors, employees, and agents from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) speculative trading in our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) engaging in hedging transactions using our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) "short selling" our securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) trading derivative securities, such as put options, call options, swaps, or collars related to our securities.

#### Equity Award Grant Practices
Equity awards are discretionary and are generally granted to our NEOs two business days after KBR files a Form 10-K with the SEC in the first quarter of the grant year. In certain circumstances, including the hiring or promotion of an officer, our Compensation Committee may approve grants to be effective at other times. KBR did not grant stock options to its employees during the last completed fiscal year; however, stock option grants, when approved by our Compensation Committee, are never issued with an exercise price below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. KBR does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

### Impact of Accounting, Regulatory, and Tax Requirements on Compensation
We apply the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718-10 to account for and report equity-based compensation. FASB ASC 718-10 requires that compensation expense for equity-classified awards be measured based on the grant date fair value of the award and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or the vesting period. Compensation expense for performance-based awards settled in cash is measured based on the grant date fair value, which is re-measured at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period or the vesting period are recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over that period. Compensation expense was recognized for restricted stock units, performance stock units, and cash and stock performance awards.

In the years when we grant stock option awards, the grant date fair value is estimated using option-pricing models. If an award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost is recognized immediately before the modification. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for the options (excess tax benefits) are classified as

**KBR, INC. PROXY STATEMENT** \| 2026 73

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Executive Compensation**

addition to paid-in-capital, and cash retained as a result of these excess tax benefits is presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.

We will continue to monitor issues concerning the tax deductibility of executive compensation and will take appropriate action if we believe it is warranted. Since corporate objectives and strategic needs may not always be consistent with the requirements of full deductibility, we expect, if we believe it is appropriate, to enter into compensation arrangements or provide compensation under which payments will not be fully deductible.

### Impact of Executive Conduct or a Restatement of Earnings on Compensation (Clawback Policies)
We maintain a discretionary clawback policy that provides that, if we determine at any time within two years after the termination of employment of an NEO that such executive's employment could have been terminated for Cause, as defined in the executive's Agreement, we retain the right to recover any severance benefits (both cash and equity) provided under the Agreement to such executive. In such a case, the executive agrees to promptly repay such amounts to us.

Prior to our adoption of a clawback policy that complies with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the NYSE rules, we included in our cash and equity incentive programs a provision that allowed our Compensation Committee to seek recovery of any incentives that are determined to be an overpayment following any restatement of our financial results that impacts the performance metrics on which the incentive awards were calculated.

In October 2022, the SEC adopted rules requiring that the stock exchanges, including the NYSE, establish new listing rules that set minimum standards for clawback policies that must be implemented by their listed companies. Upon adoption of the rules, effective October 2, 2023, our Board of Directors approved and adopted KBR's Procedure for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the "Clawback Procedure") to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the NYSE rules. The Clawback Procedure requires the Company to claw back erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company ("Covered Officers") in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. The recovery of such compensation under the Clawback Procedure applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. The Compensation Committee oversees the administration of the Clawback Procedure. The foregoing summary of the Clawback Procedure does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Clawback Procedure.

### Conclusion
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In a highly competitive market for executive talent, we believe our customers' and employees' interests, as well as those of our stockholders and other stakeholders, are well served by our compensation programs. These programs:<br>· are reasonably positioned among our Peer Group,<br>· encourage and promote our compensation objectives with a strong emphasis on pay for performance, and<br>· permit the exercise of our Compensation Committee's discretion in the design and implementation of compensation packages.<br>Going forward, we will continue to review our compensation plans periodically to determine what revisions, if any, should be made.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Salary equals base pay paid to each NEO during the applicable year, including any elective deferrals into the Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan or the KBR Elective Deferral Plan. The actual salary paid may fluctuate due to the timing of payroll processing at each year end. With respect to Mr. Bradie and Ms. Myles, their 2025, 2024, and 2023 salary payments were converted from British Pounds to U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate applicable for each month in each year. The exchange rates used were the rates reported by Bloomberg on the last business day of the month prior to payment. The exchange rates ranged from $1.2398 to $1.3706 during the period of January 4, 2025, through January 2, 2026; $1.2494 to $1.3380 during the period of December 30, 2023, through January 3, 2025; and $1.1943 to $1.2858 during the period of January 1, 2023, through December 29, 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The amounts in column (d) represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted in 2023, 2024, and 2025, pursuant to the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. The fair values were determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718, "*Stock Compensation*." Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are described in note 1 under "*Significant Accounting Policies*" and note 18 under "*Share-based Compensation and Incentive Plans*" of our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, and the comparable disclosures in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024. Stock awards granted to Mr. Bright in 2023, 2024, and 2025 were later forfeited on July 11, 2025, the date of his termination of employment with KBR, to the extent they were unvested on that date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) With respect to the performance awards granted in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which are based 50% on TSR, and to that extent are included in the value of stock awards in column (d), the assumptions assume the probable outcome of the TSR performance condition, which is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 (excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures). At maximum performance, the value of the shares of KBR common stock underlying each performance award reported in column (d) would be equal to the product of twice the number of shares of KBR common stock underlying each performance award and $55.70, with respect to the performance awards granted in 2023, $59.28, with respect to the performance awards granted in 2024, and $48.29, and with respect to Mr. Bright's additional performance award granted in 2025, also $54.82, with respect to the performance awards granted in 2025, the closing prices of KBR's common stock on the dates of grant.

The performance awards granted to Mr. Bright in 2023, 2024, and 2025 were later forfeited on July 11, 2025, the date of his termination of employment with KBR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Amounts reportable in column (e) relate to (i) payments under our Performance Pay Plan for 2025, 2024, and 2023; and (ii) payments related to the 50% portions of the 2023, 2022, and 2021 performance awards that are based on the B2B performance measure with respect to the 2023 and 2022 performance awards and JIS performance measure with respect to the 2021 performance awards and which were granted under our KBR Stock and Incentive Plan. Benefits under our Performance Pay Plan and the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan are payable by their terms during the first quarter of the following year. As described in the "Short-Term Incentives (Annual)" section of this proxy statement, with regard to payments under our Performance Pay Plan for 2025, the Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion to reduce the adjusted EPS metric payout from 68.9% to 13.1%, reflecting the loss per share from discontinued operations associated with the contract termination and wind down of the HomeSafe Alliance joint venture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The amounts shown in column (f) include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any amounts reportable here and in column (f) of the Summary Compensation Table are payable in connection with KBR's nonqualified deferred compensation plans, including the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan ("Benefit Restoration") and KBR Elective Deferral Plan ("Elective Deferral"). These amounts reflect above-market or preferential earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation. Ms. Myles is not eligible to participate in the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan because her compensation is not subject to the limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. None of our NEOs participate in the KBR Elective Deferral Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Mr. Bright did not receive an award for 2025 under the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan because he was not a participant on the last day of the allocation year due to his termination of employment on July 11, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) During fiscal year 2025, the NEOs received the following types of plan-based awards: STI (Annual); LTI Performance Cash and Stock Awards ("PAs"), which are based 50% on relative TSR and 50% on B2B; and KBR Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). All awards were granted under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan, except that the STI was granted under the Performance Pay Plan, which is a performance program under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The PAs in the Non-Equity columns represent the 50% portion of the award based on B2B and have a target value of $1.00 per unit (not the value of KBR's common stock), and such amounts represent the total dollar value of the incentive opportunity at the threshold, target, and maximum potential payout levels. The PAs in the Equity Incentive Plan columns represent the 50% portion of the award based on TSR and are based upon the number of shares of KBR common stock underlying each award at the threshold, target, and maximum potential payout levels. Actual STI and PA payouts may equal amounts between performance level percentages based on the achievement levels of performance metrics. The 2025 STI payouts are calculated using the Participant's annual base salary as determined on January 1, 2025 (or the first day the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Performance Pay Plan if such day occurs after the first day of January), unless approved otherwise. Ms. Myles's annual base salary is approved and paid in British Pounds. STI payouts are paid in local currency, so Ms. Myles's STI payouts are also paid in British Pounds. Her 2025 annual base salary was £431,985. Ms. Myles's 2025 threshold, target, and maximum potential STI payouts in the table above have been converted to U.S. Dollars for presentation purposes using the exchange rate of £1 to $1.3686, which was the exchange rate used when presenting her proposed 2025 STI payout in U.S. Dollars to the Compensation Committee for approval in February 2026. Mr. Bright's 2025 threshold, target, and maximum potential STI payouts in the table above reflect a prorated portion calculated with his base salary on May 1, 2025, in connection with his promotion to Chief Operation Officer. As described in the "Short-Term Incentives (Annual)" section of this proxy statement, the 2025 STI payouts were reduced by the Compensation Committee pursuant to its negative discretion. Estimated payouts of the portions of the PAs based 50% on TSR and 50% on B2B are each calculated using half of the Participant's total KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Award granted in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The RSUs in column (l) vest equally over three years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The amounts in column (m) are calculated for RSUs based on the product of the number of RSUs granted and the closing price of KBR's common stock on the Grant Date, which was $48.29 for each grant other than Mr. Bright's additional RSUs granted May 8, 2025, which had a closing price of $54.82. The amounts in column (m) are calculated for PAs based on each PA unit having a grant date fair value of $0.722. These amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Mr. Bright was not eligible to receive a 2025 STI payout because he was not an active participant in the 2025 STI plan on the last day of the plan year due to his termination of employment on July 11, 2025, and his 2025 PAs and RSUs were forfeited due to his termination of employment.

### Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

#### No Employment Agreements
Our NEOs do not have employment agreements. Each of our NEOs entered into a severance and change-in-control agreement that only provides for severance-type benefits, including severance following a change in control. For more information, see "*Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements*."

#### Long-Term Incentives
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During fiscal year 2025, our NEOs received the following types of plan-based awards under the KBR Stock and <br>Incentive Plan:<br>**1.**<br>An annual STI award, which is based on achieving goals for pre-established performance metrics and is paid in <br>cash (see "S*hort-Term Incentives (Annual)*" for more detail),<br>**2.**<br>LTI PAs, which are based 50% on B2B and 50% on relative TSR (see "*KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards*" for more detail), and<br>**3.**<br>RSUs.<br>

The PAs were granted on February 27, 2025, and May 8, 2025. The PAs granted on May 8, 2025, were additional PAs granted to Mr. Bright in connection with his promotion to Chief Operating Officer on May 1, 2025. One-half of the target value of the PAs was granted with respect to the TSR portion of the award and consisted of a target number of units that each represent the right to receive one share of our common stock, with the number of such units initially determined by dividing the target value of the TSR portion of the award by $48.29, or with respect to Mr. Bright's additional PAs, $54.82, the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant (rounded up to the next whole unit). The number of such units (and, accordingly, the number of shares of our common stock delivered in settlement of the units) under the TSR portion of the PAs will depend on the level of achievement of the TSR performance objective and may vary from 0% to 200% of the original target number of units granted. The level of achievement of the TSR performance objective will be determined at the end of the performance period based on the level of achievement during the performance period of the comparison of the average TSR (measured with a 20-trading-day average price) of KBR's common stock at the end of the performance period to the average TSR of each of the common stocks of the members of the peer group for the performance period. Specifically, each peer group company's TSR is measured every quarter, indexed back to the start of the year, and KBR's similarly calculated average quarterly indexed TSR is ranked relative to its peers. KBR's average quarterly indexed TSR rank is measured over the three-year performance period, which runs from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027.

The remaining 50% of the PAs will be determined based on B2B over the same three-year performance period. The B2B portion of each PA has a target value of $1.00 per unit. B2B is a measurement of the value of awarded contracts in comparison to revenue earned in the period. B2B is a standard industry metric for both government and commercial/industrial peers. B2B is calculated as the average of the achievement levels of the B2B performance metric for each year during the three-year performance period. Like the TSR portion of the 2025 PAs, achievement of Threshold pays out at 25%, Target at 100%, and Maximum at 200%, all weighted 50%. However, the B2B portion of the 2025 PAs is paid out in cash, whereas the TSR portion of the 2025 PAs is settled in shares of our common stock. No award will be paid for B2B under the PAs until after the end of the three-year performance period when the average B2B earned will be calculated using the average B2B percentage achieved during each year in the three-year performance period.

In addition to the TSR and B2B performance measures, 20% of the PAs granted on February 27, 2025, and May 8, 2025, were subject to forfeiture if our Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determined that 2025 was not a successful year for us. The metric was a one-time metric that if not satisfied at the end of 2025 would result in the forfeiture of 20% of the PAs granted in 2025. In 2025, this performance metric was satisfied.

The stock-settled payout for the 50% TSR portion of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 grants of KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards are reported in the "Stock Awards" column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2023, 2024, and 2025, the years in which the awards were granted (rather than in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column in the year they were earned (2025, 2026, and 2027)), because the TSR portion of KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards fell within the scope of FASB ASC 718.

**Executive Compensation**

The cash payout for the 50% B2B portion of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards will be reported in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table in the year earned because the B2B portion falls within the scope of FASB ASC 718. Due to the B2B performance requirement being met in 2025 for the 2023 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards, the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table includes the B2B portion of the 2023 KBR Long-Term Performance Cash and Stock Awards in 2025.

In February 2025, our Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive target values of $8,500,000 for Mr. Bradie, $1,850,000 for Mr. Sopp, $1,350,000 for Mr. Ibrahim, $1,150,000 for Ms. Galindo, $950,000 for Ms. Myles, and $1,350,000 for Mr. Bright as described in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this proxy statement under the header "*KBR Stock and Incentive Plan*." Also in February 2025, our Compensation Committee approved an additional long-term incentive target value of $350,000 for Mr. Bright to be effective after his promotion to Chief Operating Officer on May 1, 2025. Long-term incentive awards were delivered through a combination of cash- and stock-based PAs and stock-based RSUs.

Our Compensation Committee determined the number of PAs for 2025 for each NEO by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 66⅔%, one-half of which was allocated to each of the B2B portion and the TSR portion of the award. The target value allocated to the B2B portion of the PA was divided by $1.00 (the target value of each unit associated with that portion of the PA). Our Compensation Committee decided to use $1.00 as the target value for the B2B portion of each PA for the purpose of administering and communicating the award. In addition, the use of $1.00 as a target value for the B2B portion of each PA is a means of expressing the value of that portion of the award since the number of PAs were granted based on the total target value of long-term incentive awards. The actual value of the B2B portion of a PA may increase to a maximum of 200% of $1.00, or $2.00, or decrease to below threshold to 0% of $1.00, or $0.00. The value of the B2B portion of PAs for performance between threshold and target or target and maximum will be calculated using linear interpolation. The target value of the PAs allocated to the TSR portion of the award is represented by a target number of units that each represent the right to receive one share of our common stock, with the number of such units initially determined by dividing the target value of the TSR portion of the award by the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant (rounded up to the next whole unit). The number of such units (and, accordingly, the number of shares of our common stock delivered in settlement of the units) under the TSR portion of a PA may increase to a maximum of 200% of the original number of units granted, or decrease to 0% of the original number of units granted, in each case depending on the level of achievement of the TSR performance objective.

The Compensation Committee adopted a three-year performance award cycle because it promotes retention and aligns the long-term interests of the NEOs with the interests of our stockholders.

The RSUs granted on February 27, 2025, and with respect to Mr. Bright, also on May 8, 2025, under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan vest in equal annual increments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Our Compensation Committee determined the number of RSUs for each NEO by multiplying the total long-term incentive target value by 33⅓% and dividing the product by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

In addition to the service requirement for vesting, 20% of the RSUs that were granted in 2025 were subject to forfeiture if our Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determined that 2025 was not a successful year for KBR. After reviewing KBR's results for 2025, the Compensation Committee did not initiate a forfeiture.

#### Short-Term Incentives (Annual)
Our NEOs were eligible to participate in the Performance Pay Plan for the 2025 calendar year. Payouts under the Performance Pay Plan are based on a combination of individual performance and company performance against goals for pre-established performance metrics, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Each NEO's short-term incentive award opportunity was based on a percentage of base salary for each possible performance level (threshold, target, or maximum), as follows: (i) for Mr. Bradie, 37.5%, 150%, and 300% and (ii) for Messrs. Sopp, Ibrahim and Bright, Ms. Galindo and Ms. Myles, 25%, 100%, and 200%.

#### Salary and Short-Term Incentive in Proportion to Total Compensation
Assuming target performance with respect to the long-term incentive awards, our CEO, Mr. Bradie, received approximately 28% of his total compensation in the form of base salary and annual cash-based STI awards, and our NEOs (other than our CEO) generally received on average approximately 50% of their total compensation in the form of base salary and annual cash-based STI awards. Please see the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this proxy statement for a description of the philosophy and objectives of our compensation program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The awards granted consist of RSUs and performance awards based on relative TSR under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) With respect to the RSUs granted on February 22, 2023, February 22, 2024, and February 27, 2025, for all NEOs, and May 8, 2025, for Mr. Bright, the units vest at a rate of 33 ⅓ % per year over a three-year vesting period. However, vesting of 20% of the total number of RSUs granted as part of the annual long-term incentive awards is subject to whether our Compensation Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 was a successful year for KBR. The Compensation Committee determined that all three years were successful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Market value in this table is based upon a fair market value of $40.51 per share, the closing price for KBR common stock on January 2, 2026 (the last trading day of the fiscal year).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) This column includes the 50% portions of the performance awards granted in 2024 and 2025 that are based on TSR and settled in shares of our common stock. These performance awards vest, to the extent earned, at the end of the applicable three-year performance period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) This column includes the values of the TSR-based portions of the performance awards granted in 2024 and 2025, which are calculated by multiplying the market value based upon a fair market value of $40.51 per share for KBR common stock, the closing price on January 2, 2026 (the last trading day of the fiscal year), by the target number of shares of KBR common stock deliverable under the TSR-based portions of the performance awards granted in 2024 and 2025, which is equal to 100% of the number of shares of KBR common stock underlying each performance award. Under the SEC rules, the payout value reported in this column must be disclosed based on achieving threshold performance goals, except that if performance during the last completed fiscal year (or, if the payout is based on performance to occur over more than one year, the last completed fiscal years over which performance is measured) has exceeded threshold, we must disclose the next higher performance measure (target or maximum) that exceeds the last completed fiscal year's performance (or, if the payout is based on performance to occur over more than one year, the last completed fiscal years over which performance is measured). Under SEC rules, if an award provides only for a single estimated payout, that amount should be reported.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Mr. Bright did not have any outstanding equity awards as of January 2, 2026, because all of his unvested RSUs and performance awards were forfeited on July 11, 2025, the date of his termination of employment with KBR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) When applicable, represents the pre-tax value realized on option awards that were exercised during the fiscal year, computed by multiplying the number of shares acquired on exercise by the difference between the closing price of common stock on the exercise date and the option price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Represents the number of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") that vested during the fiscal year 2025 and a portion of the cash and stock performance awards ("PAs") granted in 2023 that vested on December 31, 2025. The amounts included under columns (d) and (e) above attributable to the PAs granted in 2023 reflect the TSR-based portion of such PAs that is settled in shares of KBR common stock. For Mr. Bradie, 35,989 RSUs, 8,998 PSUs, and 23,430 PAs vested. For Mr. Sopp, 8,027 RSUs, 2,007 PSUs, and 5,171 PAs vested. For Mr. Ibrahim, 5,246 RSUs, 1,311 PSUs, and 3,232 PAs vested. For Ms. Galindo, 5,096 RSUs, 1,273 PSUs, and 3,232 PAs vested. For Ms. Myles, 4,278 RSUs, 1,069 PSUs, and 2,747 PAs vested. For Mr. Bright, 6,256 RSUs, 1,563 PSUs, and 0 PAs vested. Mr. Bright's PAs granted in 2023 were forfeited because his termination of employment occurred prior to their vesting date on December 31, 2025. The B2B-based portion of the PAs that vested in fiscal year 2025 is not included under columns (d) and (e) above since it was paid out in cash but is reported in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Represents the pre-tax value realized on stock awards that vested during the fiscal year, computed by multiplying the number of shares acquired on vesting by the closing price of common stock on the vesting date. This also represents the value realized on the TSR-based portion of the 2023 PAs at the end of the three-year performance period on December 31, 2025, computed by multiplying the product of the target number of shares of KBR common stock granted and the TSR metric payout percentage of 54% (i.e., the number of shares of KBR common stock earned) by the closing price of common stock on December 31, 2025. The TSR metric payout percentage of 54% was certified by our Board, with respect to Mr. Bradie, and Compensation Committee, with respect to our other NEOs, effective as of February 26, 2026. The value realized on the TSR-based portion of the 2023 PAs on the date of certification for each NEO except Mr. Bright is as follows: Mr. Bradie, $984,997; Mr. Sopp, $217,389; Mr. Ibrahim, $135,873; Ms. Galindo, $135,873, and Ms. Myles, $115,484. Mr. Bright's PAs granted in 2023 were forfeited because his termination of employment occurred prior to their vesting date on December 31, 2025.

### Pension Benefits

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To the extent there are any amounts listed in column (b) above, those amounts will also be reported as compensation in the most recent year in columns (c) and/or (g) of the Summary Compensation Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The amounts in column (c) are reported as compensation for 2025 in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Only the above-market earnings in column (d) are reported as compensation for 2025 in column (f) of the Summary Compensation Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Only the amount of the aggregate balance in column (f) that relates to registrant contributions that are reported in column (c) are reported as compensation in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 as well as amounts previously reported in prior Summary Compensation Tables. The amounts disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, both as currently and previously reported for 2023 and 2024, as applicable, for each NEO except Ms. Myles are as follows: Mr. Bradie, $157,496; Mr. Sopp, $66,693; Mr. Ibrahim, $54,379; Ms. Galindo, $35,332; and Mr. Bright, $39,219. Mr. Bright did not receive a registrant contribution for 2025 under the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan because he was not a participant on the last day of the allocation year due to his termination of employment on July 11, 2025. Ms. Myles is not eligible to participate in the KBR Benefit Restoration Plan because her compensation is not subject to the limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code.

#### Narrative Disclosure to Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table
Under the Elective Deferral Plan, voluntary pretax deferrals of up to 75% of base salary and incentive compensation are allowed each year. The Benefit Restoration Plan does not allow employee elective deferrals.

Earnings under the Elective Deferral Plan are based upon the executive's election from a variety of investment options that include both stock and bond funds. Generally, participants may change their investment elections without limit; however, most of the funds are subject to waiting periods for transfers and reallocations into and out of the same fund. Any preferential interest credited above 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rate is recorded in column (f) the Summary Compensation Table.

Earnings for the Benefit Restoration Plan that were applicable to allocation years prior to January 1, 2024, were credited based on a legacy bond fund in the KBR Elective Deferral Plan, which had 2023 yields that exceeded 120% of the applicable Federal long-term rates. That preferential interest is recorded in column (f) of the Summary Compensation Table. In 2025, some of our NEOs received awards under the Benefit Restoration Plan in the amounts shown in the footnote table to column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table. Earnings for the Benefit Restoration Plan that are applicable to allocation years beginning on and after January 1, 2024, will be credited based upon the executive's election from a variety of investment options that consist of the same funds offered under the Elective Deferral Plan. Similar to the Elective Deferral Plan, participants under the Benefit Restoration Plan may change their investment elections without limit, subject to the waiting periods for transfers into and out of the same fund.

**Executive Compensation**

Benefits under the Benefit Restoration Plan are paid in a lump sum upon termination. Benefits under the Elective Deferral Plan are paid on termination of employment or a specified future date, either as a lump sum or in installments. Withdrawals under the Elective Deferral Plan are allowed in the case of an unforeseeable emergency.

#### Elements of Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits
KBR entered into severance and change-in-control agreements with each of our NEOs — in 2014 with respect to Mr. Bradie, in 2015 with respect to Mr. Ibrahim, in 2017 with respect to Mr. Sopp, and in 2021 with respect to Ms. Galindo, Ms. Myles and Mr. Bright.

Termination events that trigger payments and benefits include a change in control, normal or early retirement, termination without cause or for good reason, voluntary termination, disability, and death. Post-termination payments may include severance, accelerated vesting of restricted stock and stock options, maximum payments under cash-based short-term and long-term incentive plans, nonqualified account balances, and health benefits, among others. See "*2025 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control*" for more detail on: (i) estimated potential payments and benefits under Ms. Galindo, Ms. Myles and Messrs. Bradie, Ibrahim, and Sopp's severance and change-in-control agreements and (ii) the actual payment received by Mr. Bright in connection with his termination of employment in 2025 pursuant to his severance and change-in-control agreement and release and full settlement agreement. See "*Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements*" for a description of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the specific circumstances that would trigger payments and benefits,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the payment and benefit levels under various circumstances,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any material conditions or obligations applicable to the receipt of payments or benefits, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) any other material factors regarding the severance and change-in-control agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The aggregate nonqualified deferred compensation payable to each NEO upon termination is set forth in column (f) of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table and is not reflected in this table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) This table includes amounts payable to the NEOs assuming they remained employed through January 2, 2026, pursuant to the Performance Pay Plan, as reported in column (e) of the Summary Compensation Table. If an NEO is terminated for "cause" (as defined under the applicable plan/program), all such executive's rights to payment would be automatically forfeited. This table does not include benefits that are generally available to all salaried employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) No amounts are shown for stock options in this table because there were no unvested stock options as of January 2, 2026. KBR last granted stock options in 2015.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Assumes for purposes of a change in control with an involuntary termination, retirement, disability, or death that payout for the Performance Awards will be at target. Performance Awards are fully vested on a change-in-control termination but are prorated on retirement, disability, or death. While the value of the 2023 Performance Awards is included in the Change in Control with Involuntary Termination column based on target as required pursuant to applicable reporting rules, those awards actually paid out at 125% of target with respect to the B2B portion and 54% with respect to the TSR portion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Cash severance includes welfare costs in the case of a change in control with an involuntary termination. With respect to Mr. Bradie, welfare costs are estimated using the highest cost medical plan option available to KBR employees. Cash severance in the case of retirement, disability, or death is equal to the actual short-term incentive ("STI") payout (prorated to the date of termination if the date of termination occurs before the end of the performance period). Ms. Myles's annual base salary is approved and paid in British Pounds. STI payouts are paid in local currency, so Ms. Myles's STI payouts are also paid in British Pounds. Ms. Myles's actual 2025 STI payout was £445,377, but it has been converted to U.S. Dollars in the table above for presentations purposes using the exchange rate of £1 to $1.3686, which was the exchange rate used when presenting her proposed 2025 STI payout in U.S. Dollars to the Compensation Committee for approval in February 2026. Cash severance does not include amounts that may be paid under the severance plan generally available to all employees because the NEOs are not eligible for that plan while party to an individual severance agreement.

**Executive Compensation**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Retirement is completely discretionary and subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee except for Messrs. Bradie and Ibrahim. With respect to Messrs. Bradie and Ibrahim, retirement means resignation from employment (other than for "good reason" (as defined under their severance and change-in-control agreements)) on any date after reaching age 65 or, with the approval of our Compensation Committee, on any date (x) after reaching age 55 (with at least eight (ten for Mr. Ibrahim) years of service) or (y) after the sum of their age and years of service is 70 or greater.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) The amount in column (f) reflects the actual payment received by Mr. Bright in connection with his termination of employment on July 11, 2025, under the terms of his severance and change-in-control agreement and release and full settlement agreement.

### Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements
Our Compensation Committee approved the Agreement — a form of severance and change-in-control agreement — for each of the NEOs and certain other senior executive officers.

#### Circumstances that Would Trigger Payments and Benefits
The Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of (i) the executive's termination of employment with KBR or (ii) in the event of a change in control during the term of the Agreement, two years following the change in control.

The Agreement provides for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) severance termination benefits (prior to a change in control);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) double-trigger change-in-control termination benefits (on or after a change in control); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) death, disability, and retirement benefits.

Under the Agreement, "cause," "good reason," and "change in control" are defined as described below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**CAUSE** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**Cause**" for a **severance termination prior to a change in control** means any of the following:<br>(i)<br>the executive's gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the duties and services required by the Company;<br>(ii)<br>the executive's conviction of, or plea other than not guilty to, a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;<br>(iii)<br>a material violation of the Company's Code of Business Conduct; or<br>(iv)<br>executive's failure to perform, in a reasonably satisfactory manner, the duties and services required by the Company, provided that the Company gives the executive at least 10 days' written notice to cure the failure.<br>However, under Ms. Galindo's Agreement, the definition of "cause" above does not include (iv).<br>"**Cause**" for a **termination on or within two years after a change in control** means (i), (ii), and (iii) above (whether occurring before, on, or after a change in control). |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**GOODREASON** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**Good Reason**" for a **severance termination prior to a change in control** means a 25% or more diminution in the executive's base salary, unless a similar reduction is made to the base salaries of all senior executive officers of the Company, and with respect to Mr. Bradie, it also means (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "good reason" below, and with respect to Ms. Galindo, it also means (iii) of the definition of "good reason" below.<br>"**Good Reason**" for a **termination on or within two years after a change in control** means any of the following:<br>(i)<br>a material diminution in the executive's base salary;<br>(ii)<br>a material diminution in the executive's authority, duties, or responsibilities, including, with respect to Mr. Bradie, the failure to maintain him in the position of CEO of the Company or nominate him to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors, and with respect to Ms. Galindo, the failure to maintain her in a position that reports directly to the CEO of the Company's ultimate parent company, or if there is no CEO, the highest ranking executive officer; or<br>(iii)<br>unless agreed to by the executive, the relocation of the offices at which the executive is principally employed to a location more than 50 miles away.<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**CHANGE INCONTROL** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**Change in Control**" is generally triggered upon any of the following:<br>(i)<br>a person acquires 20% or more of the voting power of the Company;<br>(ii)<br>the majority of our Board of Directors changes;<br>(iii)<br>a merger or consolidation of the Company (unless the Company still controls a majority of the voting stock);<br>(iv)<br>a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or<br>(v)<br>a sale, disposition, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all the Company's assets.<br>|

**Executive Compensation**

#### TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY
If at any time during the term of an Agreement, the NEO dies or becomes disabled, then KBR will provide the executive (or the executive's estate) with the following benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the executive's unearned bonus under the annual cash incentive plan payable for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, with such bonus amount determined at the end of the performance period in accordance with the plan. Any such earned amount will be prorated to the executive's date of termination and paid in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such annual bonuses under the plan, but not later than the March 15 following the end of the performance period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the executive's unpaid bonus (if any) accrued under the annual cash incentive plan for the fiscal year that ended on or immediately before the executive's date of termination, which shall be paid in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such bonuses, but not later than the March 15 following the end of such prior performance period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the restrictions on all restricted stock and restricted stock units held by the executive will lapse in full on the date of termination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) all stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") held by the executive will become fully vested and exercisable on the date of termination and may be exercised until the earlier of the second anniversary of the date of termination (unless otherwise provided by our Compensation Committee, in its discretion) and the remaining term of such option or SAR;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) all outstanding performance awards granted to the executive will be prorated to the date of termination, and to the extent such awards become "earned" based on actual performance results at the end of the performance period, will be paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such awards under the plan, but not later than the March 15 following the end of the performance period; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) all the executive's account balances in all supplemental and nonqualified retirement plans of KBR and its affiliates will become fully vested on the date of termination.

#### TERMINATION DUE TO RETIREMENT
If at any time during the term of the Agreement, the NEO retires, then KBR will provide the executive with the above death and disability benefits, except that the executive may only exercise stock options and SARs until the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of termination (unless otherwise provided by our Compensation Committee, in its discretion) and the remaining term of such options or SARs. Retirement is completely discretionary and subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee except for Messrs. Bradie and Ibrahim. With respect to Messrs. Bradie and Ibrahim, retirement means resignation from employment (other than for "good reason" (as defined under their Agreements)) on any date after reaching age 65 or, with the approval of our Compensation Committee, on any date (x) after reaching age 55 (with at least eight (ten for Mr. Ibrahim) years of service) or (y) after the sum of their age and years of service is 70 or greater.

#### VOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON OR RETIREMENT
If at any time during the term of the Agreement, the NEO voluntarily terminates employment for any reason other than a "good reason" or retirement, the executive will not be entitled to any payments or benefits and the executive's vested stock options and SARs must be exercised within 30 days of the date of termination or, if earlier, before the applicable expiration date.

#### TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
If at any time during the term of the Agreement, the NEO's employment is terminated by KBR for "cause," the executive will not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits.

#### TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR BY THE EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON
If, prior to a change in control, the NEO's employment is terminated by KBR (except for "cause"), or if the NEO terminates employment for "good reason," KBR will provide the executive with the following benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of: (i) one (two with respect to Mr. Bradie) year's base salary in effect at termination, plus (ii) (two times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the executive's annual target bonus opportunity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all vested stock options and SARs may be exercised within the one-year period following termination, but not later than the remaining term of the option or SARs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) all unvested stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards will be forfeited, unless and to the extent provided otherwise by our Compensation Committee, in its discretion, with respect to non-performance awards.

**Executive Compensation**

#### TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If on the date of, or within two years after, a change in control, KBR terminates the NEO's employment without cause or the NEO terminates employment for "good reason," then KBR will provide the executive with the following change-in-control termination benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of: (i) two times (three times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the executive's base salary in effect at termination (or, if higher, the executive's base salary in effect immediately prior to the change in control), plus (ii) two times (three times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the executive's annual target bonus opportunity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the executive's unearned bonus under the annual cash incentive plan payable for the fiscal year in which the executive's termination occurs, with such bonus amount determined at the end of the performance period in accordance with the plan, and then such earned amount (if any) (x) prorated to the executive's date of termination and (y) paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such annual bonuses, but not later than the March 15 following the end of the performance period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the executive's unpaid bonus (if any) accrued under the annual cash incentive plan for the fiscal year that ended on or immediately before the executive's termination, which will be paid to the executive in a lump sum on the normal payment date for such bonuses, but not later than 74 days following the executive's termination of employment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) all the outstanding stock options, SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, and other equity-based awards granted by KBR to the executive that are not performance awards will become fully vested and immediately exercisable or payable in full on the effective date of the release required under the Agreement, provided such release is timely executed by the executive following termination of employment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) all performance award units other than those that are covered under the annual cash incentive plan will become fully vested and paid at target performance as soon as administratively feasible following the termination of employment, but not later than March 15 of the year following such termination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) all account balances in any supplemental and nonqualified retirement plans will become fully vested; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) welfare plan costs equal to two times (three times with respect to Mr. Bradie) the total annual cost to the executive and KBR of the medical, dental, life, and disability benefits provided to the executive and the executive's eligible dependents by KBR for the year of the executive's termination.

#### MR. BRIGHT'S RESIGNATION, GENERAL RELEASE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
As we disclosed on July 9, 2025, Mr. Bright entered into a resignation, general release and settlement agreement with KBR (the "Bright Agreement"), and his employment was terminated effective July 11, 2025. The Bright Agreement provides for benefits consistent with a termination without cause according to Mr. Bright's severance and change-in-control agreement: a lump sum cash payment of $1,500,000, calculated based on the sum of his base salary as of the date of termination plus his annual target bonus opportunity, and an extension of the option exercise period of Mr. Bright's stock options to the earlier of one year following his termination date or the last day of the applicable term of each such stock option. Mr. Bright did not have any outstanding stock options on his termination date.

#### Determination of Appropriate Payment and Benefit Levels under Various Circumstances
The Agreement was crafted based on an analysis of practices in our Peer Group at the time and the market generally, presented by the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant at the time. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the Agreement to ensure it remains aligned with Peer Group practices.

#### Material Preconditions to Receiving Payments or Benefits
As a condition to receiving severance benefits upon a termination by KBR (except for "cause") or a resignation by the executive for "good reason" or retirement, an executive must first execute a release and full settlement agreement. The Agreement also contains customary confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation covenants, as well as a mandatory arbitration provision. In addition, the Agreement contains a clawback provision that allows KBR to recover any benefits paid under the Agreement if we determine within two years after the executive's termination of employment that the executive's employment could have been terminated for cause.

### No Employment Agreements
KBR has no employment agreements with its NEOs.

**KBR, INC. PROXY STATEMENT** \| 2026 89

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Executive Compensation**

### CEO Pay Ratio
Presented below is the ratio of the annualized total compensation of Mr. Bradie, our CEO, to the annual total compensation of our median employee (excluding the CEO).

### Pay Ratio Methodology and Calculation

#### Determination of Employee Population
We determined that, as of January 2, 2026, our employee population consisted of approximately 32,863 individuals working for KBR and its consolidated subsidiaries, with approximately 15,307 of these individuals located in the U.S. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, external, and temporary employees (we do not have seasonal workers) and excluded approximately 9,347 employees working in joint ventures that are not consolidated subsidiaries of KBR and who are not otherwise our employees. This population also excluded approximately 3,407 external individuals working for KBR, whose take home pay we do not control. As permitted by SEC rules, we excluded 100% of the employees in the following non-U.S. jurisdictions: Azerbaijan (5), Belgium (9), Bulgaria (9), Czech Republic (11), Guam (4), Hungary (1), Indonesia (120), Kazakhstan (1), Latvia (1), Malaysia (6), Oman (4), Puerto Rico (1), Romania (18), and Thailand (1). The total number of employees in non-U.S. jurisdictions excluded was 191. As a result, the total number of employees used to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees was approximately 32,672, of which approximately 15,307 were located in the U.S.

#### Consistently Applied Compensation Measure
We used total cash compensation for 2025 (without making any cost-of-living adjustment) as a consistently applied compensation measure to identify our median employee. Total cash compensation is a relatively broad measure of pay. Short-term and long-term equity-based incentives were not considered since such incentives are not broad-based and including them would not substantially affect the determination of our median employee. We chose not to use earnings reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-2 for employees in the U.S. because those amounts would include equity-based compensation and W-2 earnings is not a measure that can be easily applied consistently to employees outside the U.S. Compensation of employees who were on unpaid leave of absence was annualized.

#### Data Gathering
While SEC rules allow for statistical sampling or "other reasonable methods," we collected data for all employees. It would have been costly to create a subgroup that was representative of the entire employee population given that the non-U.S. employees included in the calculation are based in approximately 33 countries.

#### Pay Ratio Calculation
After we identified our median employee, we calculated all the elements of such employee's compensation for 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $86,461. The annual total compensation of our CEO was $11,614,552, as reported in the "Total" column of our 2025 Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement.

Based on this information, for 2025 the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was reasonably estimated to be 134:1.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Employee** | 2025 Compensation |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Our CEO | $11614552 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Our Median Employee | $86461 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Pay Ratio | 134:1 |

The SEC's rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. The pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to KBR's pay ratio, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in their calculations.

**Executive Compensation**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Cumulative total shareholder return ("TSR") is the cumulative TSR on shares of our common stock assuming an investment of $100 on December 31, 2020, and reinvestment of all dividends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) The peer group used for this purpose is the Peer Group used by the Company for benchmarking purposes as discussed in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this proxy statement. Peer group TSR was calculated on a market capitalization-weighted basis according to the respective issuers' stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. TSR for both the Company and the peer group is based on an initial $100 investment, measured on a cumulative basis from the market close on December 31, 2020, through and including January 2, 2026. TSR calculations reflect reinvestment of dividends.

The 2025 Peer Group is composed of the following companies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● BAE Systems plc<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● CACI International Inc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Dover Corporation<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Flowserve Corporation | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Fluor Corporation<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Gartner, Inc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Hubbell Incorporated<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Jacobs Solutions Inc. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● L3Harris Technologies, Inc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Leidos Holdings, Inc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Parsons Corporation<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Science Applications International Corporation | <br>● Teradata Corporation<br>● Tetra Tech, Inc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Textron Inc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● The Timken Company |

Conduent Incorporated, which was a constituent of our 2024 Peer Group, was removed from the peer group in 2024 due to declining comparability with the Company's size and business profile, and it therefore was excluded in determining our peer group TSR for 2025 (and the prior years presented). Using the peer group from the prior disclosure, the peer group TSR would be as follows: 2025: $212.57; 2024: $194.25; 2023: $169.53; 2022: $136.82; and 2021: $124.89.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) The amounts reported represent the amount of GAAP net income (loss) reflected in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) Adjusted EPS is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Information" at the end of this proxy statement for further information, including reconciliation of adjusted EPS to diluted EPS, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) We wound down the HomeSafe Alliance joint venture in fiscal year 2025 and determined that this disposal was a new adjustment within our Adjusted EPS non-GAAP measure. Since this was a new adjustment, we recast Adjusted EPS for all periods. The recast changed the value for fiscal year 2024 from 3.34 (as disclosed in our 2024 proxy statement) to 3.33 (as disclosed here).

### Pay Versus Performance Relationship Disclosures
We believe that, in a highly competitive market for executive talent, our compensation programs encourage and promote our compensation objectives with a strong emphasis on pay for performance and that they serve our stakeholders' interests well.

The charts on the next page illustrate the relationship between the "Compensation Actually Paid" and the financial performance measures set forth in the Pay Versus Performance table on page 91: TSR, peer group TSR, net income (loss) and adjusted EPS.

The Company identified adjusted EPS as the Company-Selected Measure, the most important performance measure used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company's NEOs to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company selected adjusted EPS because strong EPS generally increases the value of our stock, among other benefits, which we believe helps to align the interests of our NEOs and our stockholders. Adjusted EPS is the most heavily weighted performance measure under our 2025 STI plan, with Company performance on this measure driving 45% of the plan funding for the 2025 STI plan, as described in greater detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

### Important Financial Performance Measures
For 2025, the most important financial performance measures (including the Company-Selected Measure) that we used to link executive compensation actually paid to the NEOs to our performance, which are the performance metrics the Committee chose for our short-term and long-term incentive plans and are described in more detail in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this proxy statement, are as follows, listed on an unranked basis:

● Adjusted EPS

● Adjusted OCF

● Relative TSR

● Book-to-Bill

● Sustainability

Adjusted EPS and adjusted OCF are both considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Additional information about these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided under the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Information" at the end of this proxy statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The weighted-average exercise price takes into account 967,214 shares under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan issuable upon vesting of outstanding service-based and performance and market-based awards, which have no exercise price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The amount in this column includes 9,872,077 shares available for issuance under the KBR Stock and Incentive Plan and 2,646,952 shares available for issuance under the KBR, Inc. 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

---

KPMG LLP has audited the financial statements of KBR and its predecessor since 2005. A resolution will be presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of KPMG as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of KBR as of and for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2027. KPMG LLP has advised that neither the firm nor any member of the firm has any direct financial interest or any material indirect interest in KBR. Also, during at least the past three years, neither the firm nor any member of the firm has had any connection with KBR in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, will have the opportunity to make a statement, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

As a matter of good corporate governance, the Audit Committee submits the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm to our stockholders for ratification. The proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2027, but the Audit Committee may also elect to retain KPMG LLP. Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such change would be appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Audit fees represent the pre-approved aggregate fees for professional services rendered by KPMG for the integrated audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2026, and January 3, 2025. Audit fees also include the audits of certain of our subsidiaries regarding compliance with statutory requirements in foreign countries and review of registration statements. Audit fees for 2025 include fees related to sustainability reporting for Australia in accordance with local regulations and non-recurring audit matters for fiscal year 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Audit-related fees for fiscal year 2025 are primarily for audit services not directly related to our annual financial statements such as audits related to possible divestitures, assistance in connection with various registration statements and similar matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by KPMG for federal, state, and international tax compliance and advisory services.

### Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee has established a written pre-approval policy requiring the Audit Committee to approve all services to be provided by KPMG and all audit services provided by other independent accountants. The policy provides that all audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by KPMG must be described in a written plan submitted to the Audit Committee annually for pre-approval. In addition, pre-approval by either the Audit Committee, its Chair, or another Audit Committee member designee is required for (a) any fees for audit, audit-related, or tax services to be provided by KPMG that will exceed $150,000 and were not submitted for annual pre-approval and (b) fees for all other types of services that will exceed $50,000. Pre-approval by the Audit Committee is required for any fees for audit, audit-related, tax or other services that will exceed $250,000. Pre-approval of services is not limited to those exceeding such thresholds under the policy, and the Audit Committee, in its sole discretion, has in the past and may in the future determine to review and pre-approve any other services, regardless of monetary amount.

The policy also provides that all audit services to be provided by independent public accountants other than KPMG must be described in writing and presented to the Audit Committee by our Chief Accounting Officer annually for pre-approval. Any audit services not included in the annual pre-approved plan must be approved in the same manner as unplanned audit, audit-related, and tax services to be provided by KPMG.

As permitted by the SEC, to ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, our policy allows the Audit Committee to delegate pre-approval authority to the Chair or another designated member of the Audit Committee. Any pre-approval decision not made by the entire Audit Committee will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting following such decision. All services provided by KPMG have been pre-approved in accordance with these procedures.

### Audit Committee Report
KBR's Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board that outlines the responsibilities of, and practices followed by, the Committee. A copy of the Charter is available on KBR's website at kbr.com/en/who-we-are/our-company/corporate-governance. We review and reassess the charter annually and recommend any changes to the Board of Directors for approval. We met nine times in 2025, and this report summarizes the Committee's activities during those meetings.

KBR's management is responsible for preparing KBR's financial statements, and the principal independent accountants are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee's role is to provide oversight of management and to appoint, compensate, retain, and oversee the work of the principal independent accountants.

#### Oversight of Independent Auditors
The Audit Committee oversees the audits of the Company's financial statements and the independence, qualifications, and performance of the independent auditors. In fulfilling our oversight role for the year ended January 2, 2026, we reviewed and discussed with KPMG LLP, the Company's independent auditors and principal independent accountants, as well as with senior members of the Company's financial management team:

● the overall audit scope and plan,

● the results of the external audit, and evaluations by KPMG LLP of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting,

● the quality of the Company's financial reporting,

● the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, and

● critical audit matters.

KPMG LLP also reported to us on significant accounting judgments and estimates made by management in preparing the financial statements, as well as their analysis and assessment of significant risks. We also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be communicated pursuant to the standards promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC.

We discussed with KPMG LLP their assessment of their independence, including with respect to the tax services provided by them, and received the written communications required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with us concerning independence.

**Audit Committee Matters**

#### Audited Financial Statements
Based on our review of the audited financial statements, discussions with management and with KPMG LLP, and our review of KPMG LLP's written communications, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in KBR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, for filing with the SEC. Our recommendation considers our review of that firm's qualifications as independent accountants for the Company. Our review also included matters required to be considered under SEC rules on auditor independence, including the nature and extent of non-audit services. In our judgment, the nature and extent of non-audit services performed by KPMG LLP during the year did not impair the firm's independence.

After discussions with management, considering KPMG LLP's historical and recent performance of KBR's audit, the capabilities and performance of the audit team, and KPMG LLP's independence, the Committee concluded that it would be in the best interests of KBR and its stockholders to retain KPMG LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements for KBR for 2026 and recommends that such appointment be ratified by stockholders at the 2026 annual meeting.

Respectfully submitted,

#### The Audit Committee of THE BOARD OF Directors OF KBR, INC.

Our virtual stockholder meeting format uses technology designed to increase stockholder access, minimize health risks, reduce our environmental impact, and provide our stockholders rights and opportunities to participate similar to those they would have at an in-person annual meeting. Holding the meeting virtually also saves KBR and our stockholders time and money.

Stockholders will be able to hear all portions of the official Annual Meeting as conducted by the Board, submit appropriate written questions and comments, and vote online during the open poll portion of the Annual Meeting. We welcome your suggestions on how we can make our virtual Annual Meeting more effective and efficient.

#### How to Access the Annual Meeting as It Happens
If you are a stockholder of record and you want to attend online and participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the company number and the control number on your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card to log in. If you are a beneficial stockholder and you want to attend the meeting online, you should log into your brokerage firm's website and select the stockholder communications mailbox to link through to the Annual Meeting. You also should receive written instructions from your broker, bank, or other nominee.

Online check-in will begin at 8:45 a.m. CDT. Please allow time for online check-in procedures. If you encounter difficulties accessing the virtual meeting or during the course of the Annual Meeting, please call the phone number that will be made available on the virtual meeting registration page 15 minutes prior to the start time of the meeting for live technical support.

#### How We Will Handle Stockholder Questions
Any stockholder may submit a maximum of two appropriate questions online in advance of or during the Annual Meeting. We will answer as many appropriate stockholder-submitted questions as time permits during the meeting, with each question and response not to exceed two minutes in combined duration. All questions and discussions must be in compliance with the Rules of Conduct and Procedures of the Annual Meeting, which will be made available to all stockholders prior to and during the Annual Meeting.

During the Annual Meeting, proponents of the stockholder proposals included in this proxy statement, if any, will have a dedicated call-in line so they can present their proposals. There will be dedicated time to ask questions relating to a specific proposal following the presentation of each proposal.

#### How to Vote During the Virtual Annual Meeting

| ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a427.jpg) | **What happens if an incumbent director does not get re-elected?** |

---

In accordance with Article III, Section 3 of our Bylaws, any director nominee who is not re-elected must tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors and all committees of the Board after the certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would then assess whether it is appropriate for such individual to continue to serve as a director and would make its recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will act on a tendered resignation and publicly disclose its decision and rationale within 120 days following the certification of the stockholder vote.

| ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a427.jpg) | **What happens if I abstain my vote on any proposal?** |

---

Abstentions are counted as "present" in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. Abstentions from voting will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election of directors. However, with respect to each other matter, abstentions will be included in the voting tally and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

---

Votes cast by proxy or in person (including virtually) at the Annual Meeting will be counted by the individuals appointed by us to act as election inspectors for the meeting. The election inspectors and the people who tabulate the proxies, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify stockholders are independent and are not employees of KBR.

---

As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no business that will be presented at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders other than the matters described in this proxy statement. If any other matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for action by stockholders, proxies will be voted on those matters in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting the proxies.

| ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a427.jpg) | **Why didn't I receive a paper copy of the proxy materials?** |

---

To expedite delivery, reduce our costs, and decrease the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting, we used "Notice and Access," which relies on an SEC rule that permits us to provide proxy materials electronically. By March 30, 2026, we sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to many of our stockholders containing instructions on how to access and review our proxy materials online. If you received such a Notice, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail. The Notice also explains how to submit your proxy to ensure your shares are voted as you wish. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you may request those documents by:

● calling 1 (800) 579-1639,

● submitting a request at proxyvote.com , or

● sending an e-mail to sendmaterial@proxyvote.com.

Stockholders who do not receive a Notice will continue to receive either a paper or an emailed electronic copy of our proxy statement and Annual Report, which will be sent on or about April 3, 2026.

Electronic delivery also can help reduce the number of bulky documents in your files and eliminate duplicate mailings. To sign up for electronic delivery please follow the instructions on your proxy card to vote by Internet at proxyvote.com and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access stockholder communications electronically in future years. | ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a447.jpg) |

| ![Graphic](tmb-20260514xdef14a_a427.jpg) | **Why did I receive only one copy of the proxy materials when there are two stockholders in my home?** |

---

We are sending only one copy of KBR's annual meeting materials to stockholders who share the same address and last name unless one of those stockholders has notified us that they want to continue receiving multiple copies. This practice, known as "householding," is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs.

If you received a single mailing this year and you would like to have additional copies of the Annual Report or proxy statement mailed to you, or you would like to revoke your consent to the householding of documents for the future, please call 1 (866) 540-7095. You will begin to receive individual copies within 30 days after your request.

**General Information about KBR's Annual Meeting**

Unfortunately, householding for stockholders who hold their shares in street name is limited to accounts within the same bank or brokerage firm. For example, if you and your spouse share the same last name and address, and you each have an account containing KBR stock at two different brokerage firms, your household will receive two copies of the Notice or meeting materials — one from each brokerage firm. To reduce the number of duplicate sets of documents your household receives, you may wish to enroll some or all of your accounts in our electronic delivery program. See "*Why didn't I receive a paper copy of the proxy materials?*"

For stockholder proposals or director nominations to have been properly submitted for presentation at our upcoming annual meeting, we must have received notice of the proposal or nomination within the time periods set forth under Article II, Section 9 of our Bylaws. Any such proposals and nominations must comply with Article II, Section 9 of our Bylaws. We will disregard any proposal or nomination that does not comply with these requirements.

Proposals submitted for inclusion in our proxy materials must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act.

You also may nominate candidates at our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in the manner provided in Article II, Section 9 of our Bylaws and in compliance with the universal proxy rules. Such nominations must be received between January 14, 2027, and February 13, 2027, and must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. The Bylaws also provide that a stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may nominate candidates for election to the Board pursuant to the proxy access procedures in our Bylaws. Any such nomination for the 2027 annual meeting must be made pursuant to written notice to our Corporate Secretary at our corporate offices and must be received between December 15, 2026, and January 14, 2027.

Any proposed nominee is required to furnish other information as KBR may reasonably require to determine whether the proposed nominee is eligible to serve as a director. At any meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer may disregard the purported nomination of any person not made in compliance with these procedures.

---

KBR will be conducting its own proxy solicitations for this annual meeting, and all costs relating to the solicitation of such proxies will be paid by KBR. KBR does not intend to engage any independent solicitation firm in connection with the solicitation of proxies for this annual meeting. Some executive officers and other employees of KBR also may solicit proxies personally, by telephone, mail, email, or other means of communication, if deemed appropriate, but will not receive additional compensation for these efforts. KBR will, upon request, reimburse banks, brokers or other persons holding stock in their names or in the names of their nominees for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of KBR common stock.

## Appendix A — Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to KBR, plus Net (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; less Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest included in discontinued operations; less Interest expense; Other non-operating expense (income); Provision for income taxes; Depreciation and amortization; and certain discrete items as identified by management to be non-recurring in nature. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") is net income attributable to KBR. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues.

Adjusted EPS is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") reflects our diluted net income (loss) attributable to KBR divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in addition to common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Adjusted EPS excludes certain amounts included in diluted EPS. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is diluted EPS.

Adjusted operating cash flows is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules. Adjusted operating cash flows excludes certain amounts included in the cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP results, because they provide investors with useful insight into the underlying performance of the business by excluding items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations. These measures are intended to supplement, not replace, GAAP results, and help investors better understand the metrics used by management to evaluate performance and make operating and compensation decisions.
