Material Changes and Events
- NYSE Non-Compliance Notice: On March 18, 2020, the NYSE notified Fluor that it is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the Listed Company Manual due to the failure to timely file its 2019 Form 10-K.
- Compliance Deadline: The company has six months from March 18, 2020, to file the 2019 Form 10-K to regain compliance. Failure to do so may result in delisting proceedings, though the NYSE may grant an additional six-month extension at its discretion.
