Furmanite : Makes Additional Corporate Governance Enhancements and Commitments

Furmanite Corporation (NYSE:FRM) today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors is taking additional actions to further enhance the Company’s corporate governance, including reviewing compensation agreements with named executive officers and committing to appoint a new, independent director with deep industry experience.

The Company issued the following statement:

The Furmanite Board of Directors and management team have recently held discussions with shareholders representing a majority of our shares in connection with the upcoming 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on April 24, 2015. We have listened to shareholder feedback, and we are adopting constructive ideas that we believe will further enhance our corporate governance and support long-term value creation.

New, Independent Director Search

We will promptly initiate a Board candidate evaluation process with the assistance of a leading national search firm, to seek a highly qualified and independent director with strong industry experience relevant to Furmanite’s business to be added to the Board. The search will focus on identifying a candidate that will best represent the interests of all shareholders and support long-term value creation.

Revised Compensation Agreements

To better align with current best practices for such agreements, the Board and our named executive officers have agreed to address in the second quarter of 2015 certain components of their change in control agreements, including, but not limited to, the excise tax gross-up and single trigger provisions. We believe the Board’s and the named executive officers’ commitment demonstrates responsiveness to shareholder feedback, and will better align our compensation structure with the interests of all shareholders.

Vote FOR Your Board on the GOLD Proxy Card

Your Board has a track record of taking action to enhance our governance practices. In recent months and years, we have:

• Eliminated the “poison pill” by accelerating the expiration of the Company’s shareholder rights plan;
• Separated the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer;
• Appointed all independent directors, other than the CEO;
• Increased the size of the Board to five while adding further diversification to the Board by adding a female Director; and
• Refreshed the Board to provide new perspective.

The Furmanite Board of Directors and management team have taken – and will continue to take – appropriate steps to further drive high performance and profitable growth across our global organization. Your Board is composed of independent, engaged and highly qualified directors who are overseeing a clearly articulated strategy that is continuing to create value for all shareholders. Importantly, we have a track record of being responsive to the constructive ideas of our shareholders. We believe the actions announced today underscore our alignment with shareholder interests.

The Board strongly urges shareholders to vote the GOLD proxy card FOR all of the Company’s director nominees TODAY. We encourage you not to return the white proxy card. If you previously voted for a white proxy you can revote and override your previous vote by submitting the GOLD proxy card today.

Furmanite stockholders are reminded that their vote is extremely important, no matter how many or how few shares they own. As the Annual Meeting date is rapidly approaching, the Furmanite Board strongly urges stockholders to protect the value of their investment in Furmanite by voting on the GOLD proxy card "FOR” ALL of Furmanite’s experienced and highly qualified director nominees: Sangwoo “Bill” Ahn, Kathleen G. Cochran, Kevin R. Jost, Joseph E. Milliron and Ralph J. Patitucci.
