*Item 8.01. Other Events.*

As previously disclosed in AECOM’s prior periodic reports, in 2011 the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (U.S. Attorney) began investigating AECOM’s Tishman Construction Corporation subsidiary (Tishman Construction) in connection with improper overtime payments to certain union foremen on projects managed by Tishman Construction and other New York contractors between 1999 and 2009. AECOM acquired Tishman Construction in 2010. On December 10, 2015, the U.S. Attorney announced that Tishman Construction has agreed to settle this matter by entering into a deferred prosecution agreement, paying approximately $5.6 million in restitution to clients and paying approximately $14.6 million in fines over a two year period to the federal government. Tishman Construction did not profit from any of the funds in question and will offer restitution payments pursuant to the settlement. In addition, Tishman Construction has made improvements to its internal compliance procedures that were further enhanced following AECOM’s acquisition of Tishman Construction. This settlement is not expected to have a material impact to AECOM’s financial results and AECOM reaffirms it 2016 fiscal year earnings guidance made on November 10, 2015.
