Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that its 1.50% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2024 (Notes) are now convertible at the option of the
holders and will remain convertible through September 30, 2009, the last
trading day of the third fiscal quarter, as provided in the Indenture,
dated as of February 17, 2004, between Fluor and the Bank of New York,
as Trustee, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of February 17, 2004 (the Indenture).
The Notes became convertible because Fluor’s common stock exceeded the
conversion threshold price of $36.20 per share (130 percent of the
applicable conversion price of $27.85 per share) for at least 20 trading
days within the 30 consecutive trading days ending June 30, 2009.
As a result, during the conversion period of July 1, 2009 through
September 30, 2009 (inclusive), holders of the Notes may elect to
convert some or all of their Notes. Whether the Notes will be
convertible at any time after September 30, 2009 will depend on the
occurrence of events specified in the Indenture, including the price of
Fluor’s common stock during subsequent quarters.
Upon surrendering Notes for conversion in accordance with the Indenture,
the holder of the Notes will receive (1) cash up to the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes subject to conversion and (2) Fluor’s
common stock in respect of the remainder (if any) of Fluor’s conversion
obligation.
