An important benefit for you
Through the AECOM Technology Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), you can purchase shares of AECOM common stock at a discount.
This brochure summarizes some of the features of the ESPP, as well as services provided by Merrill Lynch. You should review the prospectus and plan documents carefully for more detailed information about the ESPP’s operation. In the event of a conflict with this brochure, the prospectus and plan documents will govern. AECOM has informed Merrill Lynch that the plan prospectus is available on myAECOM in the North America/Human Resources/Retirement Benefits section.
Merrill Lynch is the service provider for the ESPP. During any enrollment period, you can get started by visiting the Merrill Lynch website at www.benefits.ml.com.
Your Merrill Lynch brokerage accountOpening a Merrill Lynch brokerage account, called a Limited Individual Investor Account (LIIA), enables you to receive AECOM shares through the ESPP in such an account, and

to sell those shares, if you choose. You must have an LIIA in order for shares to be deposited into your account. For more information about opening your LIIA, see page 5. Please be aware that enrolling in the ESPP and opening your brokerage account are two separate transactions, but they can both be completed in a single online session.
If you are a control person, Section 16 Insider, or an individual subject to a pre-clearance policy (e.g., executive officer or director), you must contact AECOM’s Legal Department at 1 (213) 593-8038 before conducting any transactions. If you are subject to AECOM’s Insider Trading windows, you will have full inquiry access to Benefits OnLine®, but will need to contact Merrill Lynch by telephone as described on page 5 to enroll in the ESPP or open your LIIA. Further, AECOM has instructed Merrill Lynch not to accept enrollment requests during closed trading windows. Please consult AECOM’s Insider Trading Policy, and call AECOM’s Legal Department at 1 (213) 593-8038 or send an e-mail to [email protected] if you have any questions.
1AECOM ESPP
Participating in the ESPP involves four steps:
Step 1. AECOM makes an offer to eligible employees, through a prospectus, to purchase shares through the ESPP.
Step 2. Generally, there are six enrollment periods during the calendar year, each lasting approximately two months. When you enroll, you will make your contribution rate election. The date of your enrollment will determine the offering period to which your contributions will be credited. Once enrolled, you do not need to re-enroll during future enrollment periods. Your participation will continue automatically until you elect to change your contributions or cancel your participation within an offering period.
Step 3. Once enrolled, you contribute a percentage of your eligible compensation to the ESPP through after-tax payroll deductions during an offering period, which generally lasts approximately two months. Eligible compensation includes base salary or base wages, plus all overtime pay received from the company, but excludes any bonus compensation. Your total contributions during the offering period will be tracked on your paystub, not on the Merrill Lynch website.
Step 4. At the end of each offering period, AECOM uses your accumulated contributions to purchase shares of AECOM common stock at a discount from the fair market value on behalf of you as a participating employee. This occurs automatically. Fair market value is defined as the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of the offering period.
Enrollment and Offering PeriodsThe enrollment period is a period of time during which you can enroll for the upcoming offering period.
The offering period occurs every two months, during which your ESPP contributions are made through payroll. Your total contribution amount will be tracked on your paystub. At the end of the offering period, your total contributions will be used to purchase AECOM common stock at a discount from the fair market value.

Plan features
This page summarizes certain features of the AECOM ESPP as they relate to Merrill Lynch’s services. These features are more fully described in the plan prospectus and other plan documents.
EligibilityYou are eligible to participate in the ESPP if you work at least 20 hours a week and are 18 years of age or older. Contract, temporary, part-time variable employees and intern staff are not eligible to participate in the plan.
ContributionsContributions can be made only during an offering period. You may contribute a percentage of your eligible compensation to the ESPP, up to plan and IRS limits. Your eligible compensation includes base salary or base wages, plus all overtime pay received from the company. Bonus compensation is not considered eligible compensation. No interest is earned on contributions. Your contributions are subject to the annual IRS contribution limit of $25,000.
Contribution rate changesYour contributions will continue during each subsequent offering period unless you make an alternative election through Merrill Lynch, as described on page 9. During an offering period, you can reduce or discontinue your contribution, but you cannot increase it. Increasing your contribution rate can only be done for the next offering period.
Stock purchaseBased on the stock price on the last trading day of an offering period, AECOM will purchase shares of AECOM common stock on your behalf with your contributions, within two limits: the plan limit of 1,300 shares per offering period, and the IRS limit of $25,000 worth of stock per year. The annual $25,000 limit is determined based on the fair market value of the stock on the first day of the offering period.
Your shares will then be deposited in your Limited Individual Investor Account as soon as administratively possible. (For more information about the Limited Individual Investor Account, see page 5.) This will include whole shares and any partial share that is purchased with your contributions.
If your contributions exceed $25,000 worth of stock or could purchase more than 1,300 shares per offering period, then only the amount of stock that does not exceed these limits will be purchased on your behalf, and any residual cash will be returned to you through payroll as soon as administratively possible.
AECOM makes available a certain number of shares for purchase through the ESPP. If the total number of shares of common stock to be purchased through the plan exceeds the number of shares available for purchase, the available shares will be allocated on a pro-rata basis and any residual cash will be returned to you through payroll as soon as administratively possible.
Canceling your contributions prior to stock purchaseCanceling contributions to the ESPP is allowed prior to the end of the offering period. In this case, deductions will end as soon as administratively possible. For contributions already made, you can elect to have these returned to you through payroll or used to purchase shares at the end of the current offering period. No interest is earned on contributions. If you cancel contributions, you cannot re-enroll for the same offering period. If you wish to resume contributions, you will have to re-enroll for a future offering period.
Tax liabilityBecause the ESPP is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, you are responsible for any taxes due on the sale of your AECOM shares when you sell them. You are advised to consult a tax advisor prior to selling shares. In general, depending on when you sell your shares, the tax implications vary. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions document provided by AECOM for more information about tax liability.
4 AECOM ESPP
Three options for your purchased shares
Once shares have been purchased and deposited in your Limited Individual Investor Account (LIIA), you may:
− Retain some or all of the shares in your LIIA, − Sell some or all of the shares, or − Transfer them to another account of your choice.
Selling sharesYou can sell your shares at any time and receive the proceeds in the form of a check or wire transfer. However, if you previously have been notified that you are an individual subject to pre-clearance procedures under the AECOM Insider Trading Policy, you must contact AECOM’s Legal Department as you normally would before selling your shares. Contact AECOM’s Legal Department at 1 (213) 593-8038, or send an e-mail to [email protected], if you have any questions.
Prior to placing a sale order, you must decide if you wish to place a Market Order or a Limit Order. Merrill Lynch will execute all sale orders subject to market conditions.
A Market Order lets you sell shares of stock at the first available sale price as soon as market conditions allow.
A Limit Order lets you set the price at which you want to sell the shares of stock and the sale will not occur until that price is available. If the stock price reaches or exceeds the price you set while the order is in effect, your sale is completed subject to market conditions. If the price is not met, your order will be cancelled.
− A Day Limit Order remains in effect for the current trading day only.
− A Good ’til Cancelled Limit Order remains in effect for 30 calendar days following the date of entry. If your order is entered after market hours, but prior to 9 p.m. (PT), the 30-day count begins two business days after the order is entered.
For more information about selling your shares online, see page 10.

5AECOM ESPP
Your Merrill Lynch brokerage accountBefore you can receive AECOM shares through the ESPP in a Merrill Lynch brokerage account, you will need to establish a Limited Individual Investor Account (LIIA). The LIIA is a self-directed, non-interest bearing brokerage account primarily used to receive shares acquired through the ESPP, and to hold and sell AECOM stock. It is separate from any other Merrill Lynch brokerage account you may have. You must open your LIIA – AECOM cannot do this for you – in order for shares to be deposited into your account.
Please note: If you have an LIIA for a different AECOM plan (such as AECOM’s Stock Option Awards) with Merrill Lynch, you must open a separate LIIA for the ESPP. You cannot use the same account for both plans. Once you open your LIIA, it will be listed under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan on the Benefits OnLine home page to distinguish the account from any other LIIA or additional brokerage account you may have.
It’s easy to open your LIIA on Benefits OnLine at www.benefits.ml.comYou can open your LIIA in five easy steps. Just complete the information in each step, and then submit your account information. Keep in mind that it can take up to 72 hours for your account to be opened once your application has been received. See page 8 for more information about opening your LIIA online.
Participants will be prompted to complete a Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN, as applicable, as part of the LIIA opening process. Failure to do so may result in mandatory additional U.S. backup withholding tax on your transactions. If you have previously submitted a W-9 or W-8BEN for a different account with Merrill Lynch, you still must submit a new form for your ESPP LIIA.
Once you open your account, you can hold and sell your AECOM shares. Any shares held in your account can be transferred to the broker of your choice at no cost to you through a broker-to-broker transfer at any time. Or, you may maintain these shares in your LIIA.
Already have a different Merrill Lynch brokerage account? You’ll still need to establish an LIIA for your ESPP shares. You can, however, link all of your other Merrill Lynch accounts with your LIIA so that you can manage them all together online. Call (800) 637-7455, virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and please have your account numbers available.
Employees subject to pre-clearanceIf you are a control person, Section 16 Insider, or an individual subject to a pre-clearance policy (e.g., executive officer or director), you must contact AECOM’s Legal Department at 1 (213) 593-8038 before conducting any transactions. If you are subject to AECOM’s Insider Trading windows, you will have full inquiry access to Benefits OnLine, but will need to contact Merrill Lynch by telephone as described below to enroll in the ESPP or open your LIIA. Further, AECOM has instructed Merrill Lynch not to accept enrollment requests during closed trading windows. Please consult AECOM’s Insider Trading Policy, and call AECOM’s Legal Department at 1 (213) 593-8038 or send an e-mail to [email protected] if you have any questions.
Merrill Lynch’s Global Corporate and Institutional Advisory Services (GCIAS) group is designated to serve the specific needs of individuals subject to pre-clearance procedures under the AECOM Insider Trading Policy. While these individuals will have full inquiry access to Benefits OnLine, they must contact GCIAS to open a Merrill Lynch brokerage account (LIIA) and conduct transactions. In addition, your GCIAS Corporate Wealth Advisor is available to assist in Rule 144 filing obligation and provide 10b5-1 services. GCIAS professionals will work with you and AECOM’s Executive Compensation and Legal Departments to provide the assistance you need.
GCIAS can be reached Monday through Friday, from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, on days the New York Stock Exchange is open. From the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada, dial (877) MER-4ACM [637-4226]. From other countries, use the AT&T country code plus (877) MER-4ACM [637-4226], or dial direct: (609) 818-8894. If you prefer, you can send an e-mail to [email protected].

Step 6: Open your Merrill Lynch brokerage account
Before you can receive AECOM shares through the ESPP in a Merrill Lynch brokerage account, you will need to establish a Limited Individual Investor Account (LIIA).

It is separate from any other Merrill Lynch brokerage account you may have.
Participants will be prompted to complete a Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN, as applicable, as part of the LIIA opening process. Failure to do so may result in mandatory additional U.S. backup withholding tax on your transactions. If you have previously submitted a W-9 or W-8BEN for a different account with Merrill Lynch, you still must submit a new form for your ESPP LIIA.
Please note: If you have an LIIA for a different AECOM plan with Merrill Lynch, you must open a separate LIIA for the ESPP. You cannot use the same account for both plans.
To open your brokerage account − Once you confirm your contribution election, you will be taken directly to the screen shown here. The site will guide you through the brokerage account opening process.
− Or, if you have already enrolled in the Plan but have not yet opened an LIIA, you will be prompted on the Home Page to open your account. Click “Continue” in the pop-up window (not displayed here) to proceed to the account opening page.
