Item 5.04           Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans

 

On May 16, 2016, AECOM received notice from the plan administrator to merge the AECOM 401(k) Retirement Plan, the Hunt Corporation Retirement Savings Plan and the McNeil Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Plan into the AECOM Retirement & Savings Plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”) on July 1, 2016.

 

The expected merger of the Plans will include a blackout period in which certain Plan participants will be unable to engage in transactions involving the assets held in the Plan accounts, including changing contribution rates, directing or diversifying investments, or obtaining a loan, withdrawal, or distribution (the “Blackout Period”).

 

As described in the Notice, the Blackout Period is expected to begin on June 15, 2016 and end during the week of July 11, 2016.  During the Blackout Period and for two years after the ending date of the Blackout Period, a security holder or other interested person may obtain, without charge, the actual beginning and ending dates of the Blackout Period, by submitting a request to AECOM, 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2600, Los Angeles, CA, 90067, Attn: Corporate VP Global Benefits, Human Resources, (213) 593-8000.

 

On May 18, 2016, the Company completed sending a notice to its directors and executive officers (the “Notice”) informing them of the Blackout Period and the restrictions on trading in AECOM common stock that apply to them during the Blackout Period, pursuant to Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR.  A copy of the Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference.
