Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

As previously disclosed in AECOM’s prior periodic reports, in 2005 and 2006 AECOM’s Australian subsidiary, AECOM Australia Pty Ltd (“AECOM Australia”), performed a traffic forecast assignment for a tolled motorway tunnel project in Australia that resulted in a securities class action lawsuit filed in 2012 against AECOM Australia and others in the Federal Court of Australia.   The parties have agreed to a settlement made without admission and that is conditional on Federal Court approval.  This conditional settlement is not expected to have a material impact to the financial results of AECOM.

 

The information contained in this Current Report Form 8-K that is furnished under this Item 7.01 is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
