Item 5.02.
Departure of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 4, 2016, the Board of Directors of Exterran Corporation (the “Company”) elected Raymond L. Carney, Jr. as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Carney, age 48, served as Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of Dresser-Rand Group from 2008 until joining the Company. Prior to 2008, he was employed by Alcoa first as Manager, Financial Transactions and subsequently as Group Controller for Global Rolled Products, Hard Alloy Extrusions and Asia. Mr. Carney is a certified public accountant and began his career at Ernst & Young LLP. He received his BS in Accounting from Pennsylvania State University in 1989.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Carney and any other person(s) pursuant to which he was appointed the Company’s Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. There is no family relationship between Mr. Carney and any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer of the Company. The Company has not entered into any related-party transactions with Mr. Carney that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We entered into an employment letter with Mr. Carney pursuant to which he will receive an annual base salary and be eligible to receive short and long term incentive awards, in each case in the Board’s or designated committee of the Board’s sole discretion and based on performance objectives determined by the Board or such designed committee. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Carney will receive a one-time grant of shares of restricted stock valued at $150,000, such shares to vest at a rate of one-third per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for its executive officers. Mr. Carney is entitled to a severance benefit equal to nine months’ base salary if terminated by the Company without cause, and is also be entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit programs available to similarly situated officers of the Company.
