ITEM 8.01.

Other Events.

On October 9, 2013, the accounting referee hearing the dispute between KBR, Inc. and our former parent, Halliburton Company, under the Tax Sharing Agreement between the two companies issued its report regarding the claims made by each party.  The report finds a net amount owed by KBR to Halliburton of approximately $105 million with each party bearing its own costs related to the matter.  Previously an arbitration panel hearing disputes between Halliburton and KBR under the Master Separation Agreement  had found several unspecified claims of Halliburton's to be time barred, and we are reviewing our ability to return to the arbitration panel to determine if any of Halliburton's claims submitted to the referee were time barred and any other remedies we may have.  We had previously recorded a net liability of $30 million related to tax disputes with Halliburton.
