  • 2021 Letter to Stockholders Proxy Statement 2020 Form 10-K
    2021 Letter to Stockholders Proxy Statement 2020 Form 10-K Dear Stockholders, When I last reported to you a year ago, we were closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and what 2020 had in store for us. Now, as we enter 2021, I can look back and say I have never been prouder of our team than after seeing how they rose to meet the challenges we faced together over the past year. 2020 Performance and Accomplishments Before I report on our many achievements in 2020, it is important to acknowledge how the pandemic has affected our 39,000 colleagues around the globe. We lost team members to COVID-19, and many of us have lost friends and family members as well. There have been very real economic, emotional and psychological impacts of the virus and the lockdowns that have been neces- sary to combat it. Throughout the year, as the virus first appeared and then spread, we worked to keep our workplaces healthy, our communities resilient, and our global food chain strong. We dramatically expanded our IT infrastructure to allow non-production colleagues to work safely from home, while simultaneously supporting our frontline teams, who continued coming to our production facilities every day. We worked with the University of Illinois on new saliva-based COVID-19 testing capabilities. And we offered financial and other support to colleagues and communities in need. Now, we are focused on helping our team members get vaccinated to protect ourselves and those around us, and accelerate a return to normalcy. Amid all of these challenges, our team delivered for our company and our customers.

  • Anticipated Acquisition by AECOM Technology Corporation of URS Corporation
    Anticipated acquisition by AECOM Technology Corporation of URS Corporation ME/6464-14 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 33(1) given on 14 October 2014. Full text of the decision published on 12 November 2014. Please note that the square brackets indicate figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. Summary 1. The parties concerned are AECOM Technology Corporation (AECOM) and URS Corporation (URS), together the ‘Parties’. The Parties provide a range of engineering design and construction consultancy services to public and private clients globally. The effect of the transaction (hereafter referred to as the ‘Merger’) is that URS will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of AECOM. 2. The Merger results in the creation of a relevant merger situation as the two enterprises, AECOM and URS, will cease to be distinct and the Merger satisfies the turnover test. 3. In the UK, the Parties overlap in engineering consultancy services across four general areas: General Building, Environmental, Water and Transportation. For the purposes of the competitive assessment, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considered these general areas and 18 subsectors into which they can be divided. Based on the evidence available to it, the CMA considers that there are many competitors in each subsector, with several companies offering a similar range of services as the Parties. Based on share of supply data from an industry market report submitted by the Parties, the combined shares of the Parties when considering a narrow frame of reference would be 11% in all but one subsector, or there would be only a small incremental increase in supply post-Merger.
