On June 6, 2018, the Board of Directors (the "
Board
") of Granite Construction Incorporated (the "
Company
"), upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, elected Jeffrey J. Lyash as a director, effective June 6, 2018.  Mr. Lyash joins the class of directors whose terms expire at the Company's 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  Mr. Lyash will serve on the Company's Audit/Compliance Committee and Compensation Committee.
The Board has determined that Mr. Lyash meets the independence requirements of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
As a non-employee director, Mr. Lyash will receive compensation in the same manner as the Company's other non-employee directors, which director compensation program is described the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A.
The Company will enter into an Indemnification Agreement (the "
Indemnification Agreement
") with Mr. Lyash. The Indemnification Agreement is in the same form as the indemnification agreement for directors that the Company previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.10 to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lyash and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director.  There are no transactions involving Mr. Lyash that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
