Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
PulteGroup, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan
At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of PulteGroup, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 8, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”), the Company's shareholders approved the PulteGroup, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which had been previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), subject to shareholder approval. The following paragraphs provide a summary of certain terms of the 2013 Plan. The 2013 Plan is set forth in its entirety as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The purposes of the 2013 Plan are: (i) to align the interests of the Company's shareholders and recipients of awards under the 2013 Plan by increasing the proprietary interest of such recipients in the Company's growth and success; (ii) to advance the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining officers, other employees, non-employee directors, consultants, independent contractors, and agents; and (iii) to motivate such persons to act in the long-term best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the 2013 Plan and will designate the eligible award recipients under the 2013 Plan.
Under the 2013 Plan, the Company may grant: (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code); (iii) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (iv) restricted stock, restricted stock units, and unrestricted stock awards (“Stock Awards”); and (v) performance awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2013 Plan, the number of shares authorized for grants under the 2013 Plan is 20,000,000, reduced by the number of shares subject to awards granted under the prior equity plan of the Company after December 31, 2012. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2013 Plan shall be reduced by the aggregate number of shares which become subject to outstanding options, outstanding free-standing SARs, outstanding Stock Awards, and outstanding performance awards denominated in common shares.
PulteGroup, Inc. Senior Management Incentive Plan
At the 2013 Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders also approved the PulteGroup, Inc. 2013 Senior Management Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which had been previously approved by the Board of Directors, subject to shareholder approval. The following paragraphs provide a summary of certain terms of the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan is set forth in its entirety as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Compensation Committee administers the Incentive Plan and will designate the eligible individuals who will participate in the Incentive Plan for a specified performance period. All officers of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to be designated for participation in the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan provides for incentive awards to eligible participants based on the achievement of objective performance goals for performance periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013.
Upon attainment of the relevant performance goals, a participant will be eligible to receive an award determined pursuant to an objective formula or standard established at the same time the performance goals were established, unless the award is subject to other terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee, including, as a condition to vesting, the continued employment of the participant for a specified period of time subsequent to the end of a performance period. The formula or standard may be based on an employee's base salary at the time or immediately before the performance goals for such performance period were established or on other fixed and determinable measures. The award may be paid in cash or in common shares of the Company, or partly in cash and partly in common shares.
