Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(d) On March 28, 2013, the Board of Directors of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (the "Company") elected Mr. Juan José Suárez Coppel as a Class I director of the Company to fill the newly created board seat referenced below. Mr. Suárez has been affirmatively determined by the Board to be an independent director under the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company's guidelines for determining independence. Pursuant to the Company's charter and bylaws, Mr. Suárez will stand for re-election at the Company's 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
In connection with his election, and pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1999 Outside Director Stock Plan (the "Plan"), Mr. Suárez will receive an option to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company's common stock on April 1, 2013 with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock as provided in the Plan. Mr. Suárez will also receive the standard, annual compensation for the Company's non-management directors. This annual compensation includes (i) a cash retainer in the amount of $88,000 per year, (ii) pursuant to the Plan, an award of 1,500 shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, and (iii) pursuant to the Plan, an option to purchase 3,500 shares of the Company's common stock on the first day of March (beginning March 1, 2014) with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock as provided in the Plan.
Mr. Suárez was previously employed by Petróleos Mexicanos (“PEMEX”), one of the Company's clients. He served most recently as the General Director of PEMEX until his retirement effective in December 2012. The Company provides various professional services to PEMEX, including engineering and consulting services on an ongoing basis. To date, for fiscal year 2013, the Company has generated less than $1 million in aggregate revenues from its arrangements with PEMEX. Mr. Suárez's interest in these transactions arose solely as a result of his employment at PEMEX.
There were no understandings or other agreements or arrangements between Mr. Suárez and any other person pursuant to which Dr. Coppel was elected as a director of the Company. Mr. Suárez will serve on the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance committee.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective as of March 28, 2013, the Board of Directors amended and restated the Company's bylaws to amend Section 3.02 to provide for an increase in the number of authorized directors from ten to eleven and to amend Section 1.02 to change the address of the Company's principal office to 155 North Lake Avenue, Pasadena, California.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
