INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Board Composition
Board Composition The Board currently consists of nine directors, all of whose terms expire upon the election of their successors at the Annual Meeting and upon their successors’ earlier election and qualification, or until their earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification. As further described below, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are mindful of the benefits of periodic Board refreshment and are committed to identifying the most qualified director candidates who can make a significant contribution to the Board. The Board believes that its current members possess a strong mix of skills, experience and attributes that are beneficial to the Company and our shareholders. Effective September 8, 2008 upon completion of the merger between Perini Corporation (“Perini”) with Tutor-Saliba, the Company entered into a shareholders agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Amended Shareholders Agreement”) with Mr. Tutor, as the shareholder representative, and each of the former Tutor-Saliba shareholders who became shareholders of Tutor Perini. Under the Amended Shareholders Agreement, Mr. Tutor (as the representative of the former Tutor-Saliba shareholders) has the right to designate one nominee for election as a member of the Board (and thereafter, for nomination for election), so long as Mr. Tutor and the trusts he controls (the “Tutor Group”) own at least 11.25% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. For more information, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Amended Shareholders Agreement.” Mr. Tutor elected to exercise his right to designate one nominee to the Board in November 2013, when he designated Mr. Feltenstein for nomination and election to the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviewed Mr. Feltenstein’s qualifications and his appointment to the Board was unanimously approved by the Board.
Board Refreshment
Board Refreshment The Board recognizes the benefits of periodically refreshing its membership, taking into account the importance to the Company and its shareholders of both continuity and new perspectives. Within the past two years, two long-time directors have departed from the Board (one who did not stand for re-election and the other due to his untimely death). In addition, Mr. Klein recently notified the Board that he will be retiring from the Board effective at the Annual Meeting, following 27 years of Board service with the Company. In 2021, the Board added Ms. Desai, and the Board is now nominating Mr. Shah. The Board remains actively engaged in identifying additional highly qualified candidates in anticipation of further refreshment of its membership over the next several years. To assist the Board in this process, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has retained Spencer Stuart, an executive search consulting firm, to help identify and assess potential candidates who would enhance the expertise and overall composition of the Board. The Board and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee strive to develop a diverse pool of candidates, including consideration of each candidate’s professional experience and individual background and perspectives.
Director Independence
Director Independence The Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee annually assess its directors’ independence, pursuant to Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. As of its most recent assessment, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following current Board members are independent directors: Mr. Arkley, Ms. Desai, Mr. Klein, Mr. Lieber, Mr. Oklak, Mr. Oneglia and Ms. Reiss. The Board also affirmatively determined that Mr. Shah, who is being nominated for election to the Board, is an independent director. In addition, Michael F. Horodniceanu, who passed away in June 2023 was also determined to be an independent director while he served on the Board during 2023. In making its determination of independence, the Board considered each director’s relationship with the Company and its management. The Board also broadly considered all relevant facts and circumstances when assessing the materiality of each of the director’s relationships with the Company. The Board considered a broad range of possible relationships, including, among others, commercial, industry, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial. As part of its review, the Board considered the Company’s business relationships with firms currently or previously affiliated with Mr. Arkley, Mr. Oneglia, and Mr. Shah, and concluded that those relationships were not material and, therefore, the directors and the director nominee are independent. A summary of the Board’s analysis follows: •With respect to Mr. Arkley, the Board considered the relationship between the Company and Alliant, of which Mr. Arkley is currently, President, National Brokerage, at Alliant Insurance Services, Inc., has previously served as the President of Alliant Retail Property and Casualty from March 2022 to March 2023, and as President of Alliant Specialty Group from April 2017 to March 2022. Consistent with NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.02(a), the Board determined that the Company’s relationship with Alliant did not impact Mr. Arkley’s independence from Tutor Perini because of the following: (1) services provided by Alliant are supplied to Tutor Perini on terms similar to Alliant’s other clients; (2) income generated by Alliant for services provided to Tutor Perini are not material to Alliant’s U.S. or consolidated operations; (3) Mr. Arkley is not personally involved in the management of Alliant’s services provided to the Company; (4) Mr. Arkley recuses himself on all Board decisions regarding insurance; (5) Mr. Arkley does not have the authority to unilaterally negotiate Alliant’s fees charged to the Company; (6) commissions paid by the Company are a) established by arrangements negotiated between Alliant and insurance carriers, b) applied uniformly to all of Alliant’s customers and c) publicly disclosed; and (7) remuneration paid to Mr. Arkley for his role at Alliant is not directly tied to the Company’s use of Alliant’s services. Additionally, in determining Mr. Arkley’s independence, the Board considered, as it does for all of its directors, the qualitative and quantitative factors in NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.02(b) and determined that none of these factors impacted Mr. Arkley’s independence: i.whether the director was employed by the Company in the last three years or has an immediate family member who was an executive officer of the Company in the last three years; ii.whether the director or an immediate family member accepted compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any 12 consecutive months in the last three years, other than remuneration for services provided as a director; iii.whether a) the director is a partner or employee at the Company’s auditor, b) the director has an immediate family member who is a partner of the auditor, or who is an employee of the auditor and works on the Company’s audit, or c) the director or immediate family member was a partner or an employee of the auditor in the last three years and worked on the Company’s audit; iv.whether the director or an immediate family member is or has been in the last three years an executive officer of another entity where any of the Company’s executive officers served on the other entity’s compensation committee at the same time; and v.whether the Company made or received payments in the last three years in excess of the greater of 2% of the counterparty’s gross revenue and $1 million to an organization where a director is an employee or has an immediate family member that is an executive officer. Finally, the Board considered other qualitative factors, including those that could result in only the appearance of a lack of independence, and concluded that Mr. Arkley is independent in both fact and appearance, and that Mr. Arkley does not and will not have a direct or indirect material interest in Alliant’s transactions with the Company. •For Mr. Oneglia, the Board considered the relationship between O&G, of which Mr. Oneglia is Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and a shareholder, and Tutor Perini, including the construction joint venture between Tutor Perini and O&G. The Board determined that the existing joint venture arrangement does not impact Mr. Oneglia’s independence from Tutor Perini because of the following: (1) the joint venture is formed for the limited purposes of performing specific contractual requirements for owners as is commonplace in the construction business; (2) Mr. Oneglia recuses himself on all Board decisions related to the joint venture between the Company and O&G; (3) Mr. Oneglia is not personally involved in the management of the joint venture; and (4) Mr. Oneglia does not have the authority to unilaterally negotiate and approve the terms of the joint venture arrangement. In addition, the full Board has, in each instance of a proposed joint venture, assured itself that the joint venture is on terms no more favorable to O&G than have been the terms of other joint ventures in which the Company has participated. The Board also considered the qualitative and quantitative factors pursuant to NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.02, outlined above with respect to Mr. Arkley, and determined that none of these factors impacted Mr. Oneglia’s independence. As a result, the Board concluded that Mr. Oneglia is independent in both fact and appearance. •Until his retirement in February 2024, Mr. Shah, who is a new director nominee, served as Managing Director and Group Head of the Engineering & Construction Group at BMO Bank. The Board considered the relationship between BMO Bank and the Company including BMO Bank’s role as the Company’s lead lender and administrative agent under its 2020 credit agreement, as well as other transactions including bank debt, leases, treasury transactions, and deposit transactions, The Board considered the fact that Mr. Shah is no longer employed by, or affiliated with, BMO Bank, and that no personal benefit was accrued by Mr. Shah through the transactions between BMO Bank and the Company. The Board also considered the qualitative and quantitative factors outlined above and concluded that Mr. Shah’s former employment relationship with BMO Bank did not impact Mr. Shah’s independence. Mr. Tutor is an executive officer and employee of the Company, and Mr. Feltenstein is Mr. Tutor’s father-in-law. Accordingly, neither of them serves on standing committees reserved for independent directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
In response to shareholder feedback, the Board has submitted Proposal 4 for shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting in order to amend our Articles and By-Laws to adopt a majority voting standard for future uncontested director elections, and has recommended shareholders vote “for” the proposal. If the amendments to our Articles and Bylaws implementing majority voting are approved and become effective, a director resignation policy will also become effective. Under the director resignation policy, if an incumbent director does not receive more “for” than “against” votes, that director will be expected to submit a letter of resignation and within 90 days the Board will act upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to decide whether to accept or reject the resignation offer. For additional actions taken by the Company to address shareholder feedback related to compensation matters, see section titled “Actions Taken Based on Shareholder and Proxy Advisor Feedback” as part of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis below.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND PRACTICES
| Stock Ownership Policy – We maintain a stock ownership policy applicable to our NEOs, certain other executives designated by the Compensation Committee and non-management directors, under which the CEO is required to hold stock or equity-based securities valued at six times his base salary, other NEOs and other executive officers designated by the Compensation Committee are required to hold stock and equity-based securities valued at three times their base salary, and non-management directors are required to hold stock and equity-based securities valued at five times the director’s annual cash retainer. Shares owned directly or indirectly, the grant date fair value of vested and unvested stock options (“SOs”), unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), cash-settled performance stock units (“CPSUs”) and deferred cash awards (“DCAs”) are counted toward the guidelines. The executives and directors subject to the policy must meet the guidelines within five years of appointment. In the event an executive does not meet the guidelines within five years due to insufficient equity award grants, the individuals must retain at least 75% of net shares of the Company’s stock received as equity-based compensation since becoming subject to the guidelines. As of March 25, 2024, all NEOs, other executives so designated by the Compensation Committee, and non-management directors were in compliance with these policies. | | Clawback Policy – We maintain a clawback policy consistent with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 and applicable NYSE Listing Standard 303A.14. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, the Company will recover, on a reasonably prompt basis, the excess incentive-based compensation received by any covered executive, including the NEOs, during the prior three fiscal years that exceeds the amount that the executive otherwise would have received had the incentive-based compensation been determined based on the restated financial statements. | | Mitigation of Undue Risk – Our compensation program is designed to discourage undue risk-taking by our NEOs through caps on the maximum level of incentive payouts, stock ownership and retention policies, and a clawback policy. Risk identification and mitigation processes established by management and our Board’s oversight of these processes also serve to deter unacceptable risk taking. After considering these policies and processes, we do not believe that our compensation programs create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company. | | Independent Compensation Consultant – The Compensation Committee works on an as-needed basis with an independent compensation consultant on director and executive compensation-related matters. This consultant reports directly to the Compensation Committee and provides no other services to the Company. |
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND PRACTICES
| WHAT WE DON’T DO: | | No Dividends Paid on Unvested Equity Awards – We do not pay dividends or dividend equivalents on any unvested equity awards (for both time-based and performance-based awards). | | No Change In Control Excise Tax Gross-Ups – We have no agreements or plans in place that would provide Section 280G excise tax gross-ups to any NEO, and we will not enter into any new agreements or plans that would provide such gross-ups. | | No Repricing of Underwater Stock Options (without Shareholder Approval) – We will not reduce the exercise price of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights or cancel underwater options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for cash or another award without shareholder approval. | | No Hedging, Short Sales or Derivative Transactions in Company Stock – We prohibit all insiders (e.g., non-employee directors, executive officers and other identified employees) from engaging in hedging transactions in the Company’s securities. |
Actions Taken Based on Shareholder and Proxy Advisor Feedback
| Concern | | How We Have Been Responsive | | 1. | Level of total CEO compensation | Our proxy statements include disclosures regarding Mr. Tutor’s significant value to the Company (see section titled “Unique Factors Have Played into our Executive Compensation Decisions and Practices”) to help explain his level of compensation. Based on Mr. Tutor’s performance and value to the Company, the Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Tutor’s total compensation and compensation mix are appropriate and competitive with market practice. A significant portion of Mr. Tutor’s compensation is tied to Company performance. From 2021 through 2023, Mr. Tutor forfeited a total of approximately $9.4 million of unearned bonus and equity incentives (see section titled “Forfeitures of Unearned Performance-Based Awards”). In addition, Mr. Tutor’s total aggregate realized compensation for the last three years (see section titled “Total Realized Compensation”) was $24.9 million less than his aggregate compensation as required to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table. The Company is currently in a transition period that will result in a substantive change in its executive compensation, particularly at the CEO level. In November 2023, the Company announced, among other things, that Mr. Smalley was appointed as President and is expected to succeed Mr. Tutor as the Company’s CEO effective January 1, 2025. As CEO, Mr. Smalley will be provided a compensation package that is more closely aligned with other CEOs in our compensation benchmarking peer group. As previously disclosed, upon Mr. Smalley’s anticipated promotion to CEO, (i) his annual base salary will increase from $1.1 million to $1.2 million (ii) his target annual incentive opportunity will increase from 125% to 150% of his annual base salary, and (iii) Mr. Smalley’s target annual long-term incentive opportunity will be set at $4.0 million. This total target compensation opportunity falls below the median of CEOs in our compensation benchmarking peer group. | | 2. | Previous inclusion of private companies and U.S. subsidiaries of foreign parents in peer group | The Company eliminated the inclusion of private companies and U.S. subsidiaries of foreign parents in our compensation benchmarking and TSR peer groups. The Company’s peer groups only include publicly traded companies within the engineering and construction industry. |
Actions Taken Based on Shareholder and Proxy Advisor Feedback
| Concern | | How We Have Been Responsive | | 3. | Short-term incentive compensation performance metrics | Each year, the Company’s most critical near-term goals are re-assessed and the NEOs’ short-term incentive compensation metrics and performance targets are adjusted to align with those goals, while taking into account shareholder feedback received with respect to such metrics. In 2023, we made changes to near-term goals to place a stronger emphasis on cash generation and debt reduction, in large part due to the Company’s expected debt refinancing. Shareholders have also expressed a strong interest over the past several years in the Company’s efforts to maximize cash generation. Consequently, in 2023, the independent members of the Board and the Compensation Committee adjusted the number, type and weighting of the performance metrics used in the annual incentive compensation program, tying NEOs’ bonus payouts to: (i) operating cash flow (at an 85% weighting) and (ii) individual performance (at a 15% weighting), which included consideration of the individual’s contribution toward the Company’s safety performance (except for Mr. Tutor, whose 15% individual performance weighting was tied to succession planning). Historically, the operating cash flow metric has had a very positive incentivizing effect that has helped the Company achieve strong operating cash flow results that exceeded budgeted consolidated net income in five of the seven years since this metric was implemented (in 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023), and record operating cash flow in 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2023. For 2024, a pre-tax income metric has been added back to the performance criteria for each NEO’s bonus in order to provide management with the appropriate incentive to focus on earnings stability, while still emphasizing the importance of cash generation. The Compensation Committee and independent members of the Board approved weighting for 2024 NEO bonuses to be measured at 65% for operating cash flow, 20% for pre-tax income and 15% for individual performance. | | 4. | Absence of relative metrics in long‑term incentive compensation program | The Company added a relative performance metric to performance-based long-term incentive awards. All performance-based long-term incentive awards granted from 2017 to 2020 included a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance metric, and half of the performance-based awards granted to the Company’s CEO from 2021 to 2023 included a relative TSR performance metric. | | 5. | Short (one-year) performance periods for most long-term incentive compensation awards | The Company eliminated the use of one-year performance periods for long-term incentive compensation awards, except in limited circumstances that are subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. | | 6. | Need for a minimum vesting period for equity awards | The Company implemented an Incentive Compensation Plan that requires vesting periods of greater than one year for performance-based equity awards and at least three years for time‑based restricted stock and RSU awards for NEOs that applies to 95% of shares reserved under the Company’s omnibus incentive plan. | | 7. | Share pledging | The Company has a policy that limits any share pledging by NEOs and non-management directors to no more than 30% of the shares owned by the pledgor. No NEO or director currently has any pledged shares. |
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives Our executive compensation program is built upon the philosophy of “pay-for-performance” and is intended to: •Link executive compensation to the execution of our business strategy. The Company’s executive compensation program incentivizes and rewards progress toward the achievement of strategic business goals, including growing backlog and revenue, profitable project execution, and generating strong operating cash from ongoing and future projects and the successful resolution of claims and unapproved change orders. The Company added more than $6 billion of new awards to its backlog in 2023, and anticipates continued significant backlog growth given the robust pipeline of large prospective project opportunities totaling more than $32 billion that are expected to be bid in 2024 and 2025. In addition, the Company generated record operating cash flow in 2023, surpassing the prior-year record by nearly 50%, and expects continued strong cash generation in 2024 and 2025. With continued strong execution on projects in backlog and improved financial performance, key employees can earn higher performance-based incentive compensation payouts that could be further enhanced in some cases if the Company’s market valuation also improves. •Provide compensation that is highly competitive. The Company’s executive compensation program provides a highly competitive pay package to attract and retain the most qualified executive talent with the ability to secure, manage and successfully execute profitable projects. Generally, for each NEO, we set total target compensation (i.e., the sum of base salary, target annual incentive compensation and target long-term incentive compensation) that is at or above the median relative to our compensation benchmarking peer group. There is a strong need to provide highly competitive pay packages for top executives, as competition remains fierce for such talent. The Company and its industry remain at a critical point for attracting and retaining top executives. There is substantial pent-up demand following decades of underinvestment in infrastructure, and given the expected further increase in demand brought about by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” or “BIL”), we anticipate an extraordinary period of industry growth and increase in talent need driven by large, complex civil projects over the next decade. Therefore, it is critically important that we maintain an executive compensation program that is competitively attractive and rewarding to our key executives and prospective executives. •Link a significant portion of pay to performance-based outcomes. The Company’s executive compensation program links a significant portion of each NEO’s compensation to performance-based outcomes. The Compensation Committee believes that compensation paid to executives should be closely aligned with the performance of the Company relative to pre-determined performance targets. As a result, our executive compensation program rewards executives when performance results meet or exceed pre-determined targets. As detailed below in the section titled “Elements of Compensation,” the majority of the aggregate total target compensation of our NEOs for 2023 was performance-based, or at risk, and approximately 59% of our CEO’s 2023 total target compensation was performance-based. •Align the interests of NEOs with those of our shareholders. The Company’s executive compensation program aligns the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders. We achieve this alignment through several means, including granting long-term equity-based compensation that fluctuates in value with share price appreciation and depreciation, as well as requiring our NEOs to maintain a meaningful level of stock ownership. The Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s compensation philosophy and objectives each year to determine if revisions are necessary in light of market conditions, the Company’s strategic goals or other relevant factors. As detailed earlier in this CD&A, the Compensation Committee has made significant improvements to our executive compensation program over the last several years in response to shareholder feedback and the Company has also worked with the Board to effect certain governance improvements.
Use of Peer Groups
Use of Peer Groups The Compensation Committee annually establishes and approves a compensation benchmarking peer group and a relative TSR peer group, each of which are described below. •Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group. Each year, the Compensation Committee assesses the competitiveness of each NEO’s total target compensation and each component of compensation (i.e., base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation) against a peer group of companies. For 2023 benchmarking, the Compensation Committee selected peer group companies based on the following criteria: industry, revenue and market capitalization. Based on this selection criteria, the Compensation Committee approved the peer group composed of the following companies (“2023 Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group”), which remains unchanged from the group used for 2022 benchmarking:
Use of Peer Groups
| 2023 Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group | | | AECOM | Jacobs Solutions, Inc. | | APi Group Corporation | KBR, Inc. | | Comfort Systems USA, Inc. | MasTec, Inc. | | Dycom Industries, Inc. | MYR Group, Inc. | | EMCOR Group, Inc. | Primoris Services Corp. | | Fluor Corporation | Quanta Services, Inc. | | Granite Construction, Inc. | Tetra Tech, Inc. |
Use of Peer Groups
•Relative TSR Peer Group. In 2023, the Company granted our CEO performance-based equity awards that are earned and paid based on the Company’s TSR relative to a peer group of companies. For this purpose, the Compensation Committee selected peer group companies based on the following criteria: industry, revenue and market capitalization. Based on this selection criteria, the Compensation Committee approved the peer group composed of the following companies (“2023 Relative TSR Peer Group”), which remains unchanged from the group used for 2022 relative TSR assessment:
Use of Peer Groups
| 2023 Relative TSR Peer Group | | | AECOM | Jacobs Solutions, Inc. | | Arcosa, Inc. | MasTec, Inc. | | Comfort Systems USA, Inc. | Matrix Service Company | | Dycom Industries, Inc. | MYR Group, Inc. | | EMCOR Group, Inc. | Quanta Services, Inc. | | Fluor Corporation | Valmont Industries, Inc. | | Granite Construction, Inc. | |
Use of Peer Groups
The Compensation Committee believes that these 2023 peer groups represent industry-focused groups of companies with which Tutor Perini competes for projects and executive talent. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee believes that these peer groups provide a better representation of the competition that influences the Company’s compensation decisions, as compared to other peer groups selected and used by proxy advisory firms that consider peer companies across a wider spectrum of industries. In addition to compensation market data derived from the 2023 Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group, the Compensation Committee considered other factors when evaluating NEO compensation, including individual and corporate performance, and the inherent value to the Company that each NEO brings in performing his/her roles and responsibilities.
Base Salary
Base Salary Base salary is a fixed component of our NEOs’ total target compensation. We provide base salaries that are highly competitive to retain our NEOs and to compensate them for their service to the Company. The Compensation Committee sets base salary levels based on a number of considerations including market data derived from the Compensation Benchmarking Peer Group, individual and corporate performance, and the inherent value to the Company of each NEO’s roles and responsibilities. In connection with Mr. Soroka’s promotion to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective November 15, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a base salary increase from $465,000 to $575,000. In connection with Mr. Smalley’s promotion to President effective November 15, 2023, the Compensation Committee also approved a base salary increase from $1.0 million to $1.1 million. None of our other NEOs received a base salary increase during 2023.
Annual Incentive Compensation
Annual Incentive Compensation The Compensation Committee believes that offering meaningful performance-based cash compensation provides executives with an incentive to achieve the Company’s strategic goals. To provide appropriate incentives to our current NEOs, generally 40% to 65% of their target annual cash compensation (base salary and target annual incentive compensation) is comprised of an annual incentive opportunity that is paid only if the Company achieves pre-established performance goals set by the Compensation Committee. 2023 Performance Metrics As discussed earlier, for the 2023 annual incentive compensation program, the independent members of the Board approved the following performance metrics for Mr. Tutor (with respective weightings indicated): operating cash flow (85%), to place a stronger emphasis on cash generation and debt reduction, and succession planning (15%). For all other NEOs, the Compensation Committee approved the following performance metrics: operating cash flow (85%) and individual performance (15%). These metrics were chosen because: •Operating cash flow is a critical financial metric to the Company and its shareholders and consistent, strong cash generation can significantly enhance the Company’s share-price valuation; and •An individual performance metric provides the Compensation Committee with latitude to appropriately reward each NEO based on their specific contributions to the Company’s operating and strategic performance. The individual performance metric also considers each NEO’s contribution toward the Company’s safety performance, and for Mr. Smalley, his contributions towards a successful CEO transition. Overall, the Company and the Compensation Committee believe that a focus on maximizing these metrics promotes shareholder value creation over the long term and helps us achieve our business plan objectives. 2023 Annual Incentive Target Opportunity and Payout Range For 2023, the Compensation Committee established a target annual incentive opportunity for each NEO, stated as a percentage of each NEO’s base salary. Mr. Tutor’s employment agreement provides for an annual cash bonus target of 175% of base salary for the remainder of his employment as CEO through 2024, with annual decreases to 135% (for 2025) and 100% (for 2026) during his employment as Executive Chairman. Similarly, Mr. Smalley’s employment agreement provides for an annual cash bonus target of at least 125% of base salary while serving as President, with his 2023 bonus opportunity based on his pro-rated salary for 2023 and his new target bonus percentage. Mr. Soroka’s annual cash bonus target opportunity is 70% of base salary, with his 2023 bonus opportunity based on his pro-rated salary for 2023 and his new target bonus percentage. Mr. Ariqat’s annual cash bonus target opportunity is 100% of base salary, pro-rated for the period from September 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 subsequent to the period covered by his guaranteed annual bonus. Mr. Smithson’s annual cash bonus target is 100% of base salary. Any earned bonuses are payable only if performance criteria to be established by the Compensation Committee, with the approval of the independent members of the Board, are met. The following table presents the 2023 threshold, target and maximum incentive compensation opportunities and the payouts associated with each level of achievement. Mr. Ariqat, who was appointed as an executive officer effective on September 30, 2022, received a guaranteed annual bonus payment covering the twelve-month period from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023, and, therefore, was eligible to participate in the 2023 annual incentive program with a pro-rated bonus opportunity for the period from September 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Ms. Hallgren was paid a $337,500 pro-rata target annual 2023 bonus in March 2024 pursuant to her Transition Services and Separation Agreement dated June 30, 2023 (“Separation Agreement”). Therefore, she was not eligible for incentive compensation in 2023 and is not included in the tables below.

Long-Term Incentives
Long-Term Incentives Awards of long-term incentives have played a significant role in our executive compensation program. Historically, the Compensation Committee has granted periodic equity awards to certain key executives based upon the Company’s strategic goals, the executive’s performance and retention considerations. Equity-based awards granted in 2023 included time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), cash-settled performance stock units (“CPSUs”), and deferred cash awards (“DCAs”). RSUs automatically convert to shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis upon vesting. CPSUs vest upon satisfaction of market or performance conditions and are settled in cash, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. DCAs are time-based awards indexed to the Company’s stock price and paid in cash based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. In the past, the Company has also granted stock options which give the holder the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock subsequent to the vesting date at a defined exercise price, which must equal or exceed the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the award date. 2023 Time-Based Equity Awards Granted In 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the grants of time-based RSUs and DCAs as listed in the below table. The time-based equity awards will vest as described below subject to continued employment through each applicable vesting date. Mr. Smithson and Ms. Hallgren did not receive any time-based equity awards during 2023.

(2)The awards vest in three equal installments of 30,000 units on each of April 1, 2023, 2024 and 2025. 2023 Performance-Based Equity Awards Granted In 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the grants of performance-based CPSUs as listed in the below table. Mr. Tutor received CPSUs that vest based on the Company’s relative TSR over a three-year performance period as compared to the Company’s 2023 Relative TSR Peer Group, as well as CPSUs that vest based on the year-over-year growth in the Company’s pre-tax income averaged over the three-year performance period. The average annual growth in pre-tax income is measured from the Company’s preliminary 2023 budgeted pre-tax income of $113.4 million. Mr. Smalley and Ms. Hallgren were granted CPSUs that vest based on the Company’s annualized stock price growth over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2025 calculated on a year-over-year basis. Mr. Soroka, Mr. Ariqat and Mr. Smithson did not receive any performance-based equity awards during 2023.

Retention, Promotion and Performance Bonus Awards
Retention, Promotion and Performance Bonus Awards Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Smithson received a deferred cash bonus payment of $200,000 on May 23, 2023, the second anniversary of his employment date. He will also receive an additional deferred cash bonus of $200,000 on the third anniversary of his employment date (May 23, 2024), contingent upon his continued employment with the Company through this date. Pursuant to a letter agreement Mr. Ariqat entered into with the Company in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President of the Building and Specialty Contractor Groups, Mr. Ariqat received a guaranteed bonus of $700,000 for the twelve-month period starting September 1, 2022, for which the pro-rata portion of $233,333 relating to 2022 was paid in March 2023. The remaining balance of $466,667 was paid on September 1, 2023. Mr. Ariqat also received a $300,000 annual incentive compensation payment on April 1, 2023, and will receive additional $300,000 payments on each of April 1, 2024 and 2025, contingent upon his continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date. He was also paid a discretionary bonus of $650,000 on August 10, 2023 in appreciation of his performance and contributions to the Company.
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment Each year, management and the Compensation Committee review our employee compensation policies, including the annual incentive compensation we provide to our NEOs in relation to market data for our peer groups, including evaluating the mix of compensation elements, performance metrics and targets, and risk management practices. Based on this review, the Company and the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation programs are designed to appropriately align compensation with our business strategy and do not encourage behavior that could create material adverse risks to the Company. The review identified several risk mitigating factors, such as capped incentive payouts, clawback provisions and independent Compensation Committee oversight of compensation plans. Additionally, the review identified a clearly articulated philosophy, appropriately identified peer groups, use of competitive market data, and an effective use of cash and strategic equity grants that all contribute to a balanced pay program.

CEO TOTAL REALIZED COMPENSATION COMPARED TO PROXY-REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
CEO TOTAL REALIZED COMPENSATION COMPARED TO PROXY-REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE Most of our NEOs’ total realized compensation over the past three years (see section titled “Total Realized Compensation” for a description of the elements included in realized compensation) was significantly lower than their reported compensation in the SCT. For 2023, Mr. Tutor’s total realized compensation was $11.6 million less than his total compensation reported in the SCT. This was primarily due to timing differences (grant dates versus payout dates) associated with certain equity awards. Mr. Tutor’s aggregate total realized compensation from 2021 to 2023 was $24.9 million less than the aggregate total compensation reported in the SCT for the same three-year period. This was primarily due to forfeitures of certain unearned equity awards and timing differences (grant dates versus payout dates) associated with certain equity awards. The substantial amount of unrealized compensation further reinforces the notion that our executive compensation is aligned with performance relative to high expectations. The following charts compare Mr. Tutor’s total realized compensation and total compensation reported in the SCT for 2023, as well as on an aggregate basis for the period from 2021 to 2023.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2023
___________________________________________________________________________________________________ (1)The types of equity awards that were granted in 2023 are RSUs, CPSUs and DCAs. In addition, this table includes the incremental value of certain previously awarded stock options (“SOs”) in connection with Ms. Hallgren’s termination. RSUs automatically convert to shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis upon vesting. CPSUs vest upon satisfaction of market or performance conditions and are settled in cash, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. DCAs are time-based awards paid in cash based on the value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. Stock options give the holder the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock subsequent to the vesting date at a defined price. (2)Columns (d), (e) and (f) present the potential performance-based annual incentive payouts achieved at threshold, target and maximum. Actual amounts earned for 2023 are reflected in the SCT. (3)Columns (g), (h) and (i) present the range, if applicable, of estimated future payouts of performance-based equity awards. (4)Columns (j) and (k) present the time-based equity awards. (5)The amounts in column (l) represent the exercise price of the nonqualified stock options, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on the date of award. (6)The amounts in column (m) represent the grant date fair value of RSUs, CPSUs and DCAs computed in accordance with ASC 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts can be found in Note 1(m) and Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. (7)Ms. Hallgren’s outstanding equity awards immediately vested on June 30, 2023 upon her separation with the Company and the post-termination exercise periods for her outstanding stock options were extended in accordance with the terms of her Separation Agreement. As a result of these amendments, the modified awards are reported as supplemental grants to Ms. Hallgren during 2023. The amounts reported in column (m) above represent the incremental fair value of each award as of the modification date of June 30, 2023.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Each NEO (other than Ms. Hallgren, whose actual separation payments and benefits received in connection with termination from the Company are described above under “Agreements and Arrangements with NEOs - Wendy A. Hallgren Transition Services and Separation Agreement”) has an agreement that provides for the payment of specified severance benefits upon the following termination events: death, disability, termination by the Company for cause or by executive without good reason, termination by the Company without cause or by executive with good reason, or in connection with a change in control. All change in control payments and benefits are subject to a “double trigger,” meaning that payments are made only when both of the following occur: (1) a change in control of the Company and (2) a qualifying termination of employment. Ronald N. Tutor Certain payments would be payable to Mr. Tutor in the event of his termination. The amounts depend upon the circumstances surrounding his termination as follows, assuming the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2023:

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
____________________________________________________________________________________________________ (1)The annual incentive compensation for 2023 performance would be due to Mr. Tutor at the time payment is made to all executives under Events D and E. No payment would be due under Events A, B or C. As of December 31, 2023, Mr. Tutor was not owed any unearned annual incentive. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a $6,650,000 annual incentive compensation bonus for Mr. Tutor for 2023 performance and payment has since been made to him. This amount is shown as payable as of December 31, 2023 under Events D and E above. Should Events D or E occur during any calendar year, a pro-rata bonus would be due to Mr. Tutor at the time payment is made to all executives for the calendar year in which the event occurs. (2)Benefits include vacation, life insurance and health insurance. Termination under all Events would result in payment for accrued vacation (30 days at December 31, 2023, valued at $219,231). Events B, C, D and E would require the continuation of life insurance benefits providing for the payment of $10.0 million in the event of Mr. Tutor’s death through the earlier of April 12, 2031 or his death (total remaining premiums estimated at $2,577,228 at December 31, 2023). Event D would require continuation of health insurance benefits for Mr. Tutor and his covered dependents for 24 months (estimated at $67,938 at December 31, 2023 based on then applicable Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) premiums), or payment of an after-tax amount with which Mr. Tutor could obtain comparable coverage. Event E would require continuation of health insurance benefits for Mr. Tutor and his covered dependents for 36 months (estimated at $101,907 at December 31, 2023 based on then applicable COBRA premiums), or payment of an after-tax amount with which Mr. Tutor could obtain comparable coverage. (3)Mr. Tutor had 832,697 RSUs and 845,956 CPSUs (target performance assumed) outstanding at December 31, 2023. The table below represents the value of the outstanding RSUs and CPSUs quantified using the Company’s closing share price of $9.10 on December 29, 2023, the last trading day of the year, assuming the triggering events occurred on December 31, 2023. Under Events A, B and D, CPSUs are paid out at the end of the performance period based on actual performance. As of December 31, 2023, 203,918 of the outstanding CPSU awards were considered likely to vest based on actual performance measured against the performance criteria through that point. The likelihood of vesting for the remainder of the CPSU awards is considered remote as they are not projected to meet the performance criteria. As a result, the value of 203,918 CPSU awards are included in the table below for Events A, B or D. Under Event E, CPSUs are paid out at target performance and Mr. Tutor also receives a cash payment equal to the amount of his future scheduled annual RSU grants, for a total of $12 million at December 31, 2023. Mr. Tutor had no unvested stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

CEO PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
CEO PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE The SEC’s rules for identifying the median-compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported below, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratio. In order to identify the median-compensated employee, we identified our employee population as of December 31, 2023. We selected total compensation paid to our employees from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (per IRS Form W-2 data for U.S. employees, and total salary and wages earned for non-U.S. employees) as our consistently applied compensation measure. We ranked all employees (other than the CEO) based on this consistently applied compensation measure and identified our median-compensated employee. The annual total compensation of the median-compensated employee was $52,009. The 2023 total compensation of Mr. Tutor, our CEO, as measured for reporting in the SCT, was $20,645,327. The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of the median-compensated employee was 397 to 1. The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records, as well as the methodology we used to identify the median-compensated employee.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Our Compensation Committee recommends the level of compensation to be paid to our Board. Periodically, the Compensation Committee reviews the functions being performed by the Board and its committees, as well as board compensation paid by the Company’s publicly traded peer group companies, in order to determine whether director compensation is appropriate. The Company’s director compensation is slightly below the peer group median. Fees for our non-management directors consist of an annual cash retainer fee of $80,000, payable in cash or common stock at each director’s option, plus an annual equity retainer in the amount of $150,000 payable in shares of common stock on the business day following the annual meeting of shareholders. Directors also receive $900 per Board meeting attended in person and $300 per Board meeting attended telephonically. Members of the Audit Committee receive $2,000 per committee meeting attended in person and $500 per committee meeting attended telephonically. The Audit Committee Chair receives an annual retainer of $20,000 and the Compensation Committee Chair receives an annual retainer of $10,000 for services on their respective committees. Members of the Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees receive $900 per committee meeting attended in person and $300 per committee meeting attended telephonically. The Lead Independent Director also receives an additional annual retainer of $20,000 based on the increased responsibilities associated with this role. In addition to these fees, an ad hoc Dispute Resolution Advisory Committee was formed in 2019 to consult with management regarding settlement offers and strategies with respect to certain outstanding claims and disputes. The Board approved a $10,000 annual cash retainer for serving as the Chair of this committee and a $900 meeting fee for each meeting attended in person and a $300 meeting fee for attending telephonically. A Special Committee was also formed in 2019 to consider potential strategic transactions, and the Board approved a $25,000 monthly cash fee for serving as the Chair of this committee and a $15,000 monthly meeting fee for attending meetings for each other member of this committee. There were no meetings of the Dispute Resolution Advisory Committee or the Special Committee in 2023.
