Source: Houston Chron

Bruce A. Stanski had been president of Houston-based KBR’s government and infrastructure business segment—headquartered in Arlington, Va.— since August 2007, shortly before the firm was spun off by Halliburton Co.

He informed KBR Tuesday he was resigning that day “to pursue other opportunities,” the company said in a one-sentence filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

A company spokeswoman said KBR has not yet named a replacement. She had no other details.

Such increased base salary shall become the minimum base salary under this Agreement and may not be decreased thereafter without the written consent of Employee.

2.2. Employee shall participate in Employer' s annual incentive pay plan, if any, in effect during the Term; provided, however, that all determinations relating to Employee' s participation, including, without limitation, those relating to the performance goals applicable to Employee and Employee' s level of participation and payout opportunity, shall be made in the sole discretion of the person or committee to whom such authority has been granted pursuant to such plan' s terms.


2.3 During the Term, Employee shall be eligible for annual nomination to receive long-term incentive awards under the Halliburton Company 1993 Stock and Incentive Plan (the " 1993 Plan" ) or any successor long-term incentive plan adopted by Halliburton' s Board of Directors, in accordance with applicable guidelines in effect at the time of such nomination.

2.6. Neither Halliburton nor Employer shall by reason of this Article 2 be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing, amending or discontinuing, any incentive compensation, employee benefit or stock or stock option program or plan, so long as such actions are similarly applicable to covered employees generally.


2.7. Employer may withhold from any compensation, benefits, or amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

8. "To pursue other opportunities"

Like staying one step ahead of an indictment for murder in the 12 deaths of U.S. soldiers from electrocution.
