The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tutor Perini Corporation (the “Company”) periodically reviews the Board’s and Company’s governance documents, including the Company’s bylaws.

Among other things, the amendments effected by the Amended and Restated By-Laws:
Enhance procedural and disclosure requirements related to director nominations and proposals of other business (other than proposals to be included in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) submitted by stockholders, including to align with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation:
Requiring director nomination notices or proposals of other business to be delivered within a window of 120 days and 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting;
Requiring additional background information and disclosures regarding proposing stockholders, proposed nominees and proposals of other business, and clarifying that certain disclosure requirements applicable to stockholders that are entities also encompass individuals who directly or indirectly control such entities (but not passive investors in such entities);
Requiring any stockholder submitting a director nomination notice to make a representation as to whether such stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act and to provide evidence that such stockholder has complied with such requirements;
Clarifying the Company’s ability to disregard such nomination or proposal in the event such stockholder does not provide such information or comply with such solicitation requirements;
Clarifying the timing for providing, updating and correcting information in connection with a stockholder’s nomination notice or proposal of other business; and
Limiting the number of director candidates a stockholder may nominate to the number of directors to be elected at the applicable annual or special meeting;
Clarify the procedural and disclosure requirements related to director nominations at a special meeting of stockholders, including requiring director nomination notices to be delivered by the later of (i) a window of 120 days and 90 days prior to the special meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the date the Company publicly discloses the special meeting date;
Require that a stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders use a proxy card color other than white, with the white proxy card being reserved for exclusive use by the Board; and
Incorporate certain administrative, ministerial, clarifying and conforming changes.
