On February 6, 2018, Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the employment of Elias Gedeon, Senior Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer, will be terminated as of March 5, 2018. The termination comes as the Company’s opportunities in its Power segment continue to shift more toward aftermarket parts and service and retrofit opportunities in the Americas, and away from large international new-build prospects. This action is also in-line with the Company's strategy to optimize its Power segment and overall cost structure for the current market environment, including the elimination of the Chief Business Development Officer position. Upon execution of a mutually acceptable separation agreement, Mr. Gedeon will receive payments in accordance with the Company’s Executive Severance Plan.
The Company is grateful to Mr. Gedeon for his service and many contributions.
