The case has been litigated since May 25, 2018. Lead Plaintiffs plead that, in violation of the U.S. federal securities laws, Defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions, with scienter, concerning the business operations, accounting treatment, and financial reporting concerning Fluor's fixed-price projects causing Fluor's common stock price to be inflated during the Settlement Class Period. Lead Plaintiffs further plead that revelation of Defendants' fraud caused statistically significant stock declines, thereby injuring Lead Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class of investors. Defendants have denied and continue to deny these allegations and that they committed any act or omission giving rise to any liability or violation of the law. The Settlement will resolve the lawsuit and the Released Claims as to the Defendants and other Released Parties. Lead Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class are represented by Lead Counsel who may be reached by contacting: Matthew L. Tuccillo or Jennifer B. Sobers, Pomerantz LLP, 600 Third Avenue, 20^th Floor, New York, NY 10016, (212) 661-1100 and/or Darryl Alvarado or Ellen Gusikoff Stewart, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, 655 West Broadway, Suite 1900, San Diego, CA 92101, (800) 449-4900.

If you are a Settlement Class Member, in order to share in the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, you must submit a Proof of Claim and Release Form received by mail or online no later than October 14, 2022, establishing that you are entitled to recovery. Unless you submit a written exclusion request, you will be bound by any Judgment rendered in the Action whether or not you make a claim.

If you want to be excluded from the Settlement Class, you must submit to the Claims Administrator a request for exclusion, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the long-form Notice, so that it is received no later than October 17, 2022. If you decide to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class and wish to file your own individual lawsuit based on the Released Settlement Class Claims, Defendants may argue that you face a time bar under applicable statutes of limitation or repose, risks that you should discuss with an appropriate legal advisor. All members of the Settlement Class who have not requested exclusion from the Settlement Class will be bound by any Judgment entered in the Action pursuant to the Settlement Stipulation.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and do not exclude yourself, you can object to the Settlement, Plan of Allocation, or Lead Counsel's request for an award of attorneys' fees and expenses and awards to Lead Plaintiffs in the manner and form explained in the detailed long-form Notice and received no later than October 17, 2022.

Any questions regarding the Settlement should be directed to Lead Counsel for the Settlement Class.
