Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 8, 2008, Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (the “Company”) held its 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders adopted an amendment to the Chicago Bridge & Iron 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) sponsored by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (“Chicago Bridge”), a subsidiary of the Company, to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for awards granted under the Plan by 3,000,000 shares. The amendment also revises the Plan to implement the policy adopted by the Company’s Supervisory Board to recover awards in certain circumstances in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results and to delete a Plan provision permitting the deferral of shares received on exercise of options. The amendment also reflects the increase in the number of shares reserved for grants to any single participant under the Plan’s antidilution adjustment and the stock splits. Finally, in light of the above changes, the name of the Plan was changed to be the “Chicago Bridge & Iron Company 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan.” The foregoing summary description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
