Approval of 2012 Omnibus Award Plan (f/k/a 2012 Equity Award Plan)

 

General. On July 23, 2013, the stockholders of Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”) approved the adoption of the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Award Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), formerly known as the 2012 Equity Award Plan, and the performance goals that may govern certain awards thereunder. The Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders had previously approved the Plan in June 2012, which became effective on August 21, 2012. In February 2013, the Compensation Committee and the Board amended the equity award plan to authorize grants of cash performance-based awards. At the same time, the plan was renamed the 2012 Omnibus Award Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The material features of the Omnibus Plan are summarized herein and described more fully in our Proxy Statement, filed June 13, 2013.

 

Eligible Participants. Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be granted to individuals who are then our officers, employees, directors, or consultants or are the officers, employees, directors, or consultants of our subsidiaries. Only executive officers and employees may be granted incentive stock options, or ISOs.

 

Reserved Shares. Under the Omnibus Plan, 2,500,000 shares of our common stock were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options and restricted stock awards. As initially adopted, the number of shares initially reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan would increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2013 and ending in 2022, in an amount equal to the least of (A) 2,500,000 shares, (B) six percent (6%) of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (C) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by our board of directors. In February 2013, the Compensation Committee and the Board acknowledged that 2,500,000 shares of common stock were added to the Omnibus Plan reserve effective January 1, 2013 in accordance with the automatic share increase provision, and amended the Omnibus Plan to eliminate the automatic share increase for subsequent years.

 

Amendments. Our Board or the Compensation Committee (with Board approval) may terminate, amend, or modify the Omnibus Plan at any time and from time-to-time. However, we must generally obtain stockholder approval (1) to increase the number of shares available under the Omnibus Plan (other than in connection with certain corporate events); (2) to expand the group of participants under the Omnibus Plan;(3) to diminish the protections afforded by the Omnibus Plan with regard to decreasing the exercise price for options or otherwise materially change the vesting or performance requirements of an award; or (4) to the extent required by applicable law, rule, or regulation (including any applicable stock exchange rule). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price below the per share exercise price of such option on the grant date and no options may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of options having a higher per share exercise price without receiving additional stockholder approval.

 

Awards. The Omnibus Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock options, restricted stock and cash performance awards, or any combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms, and conditions of the award.

 

Individual Maximum. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be granted as restricted stock or subject to options to any participant in the aggregate in any calendar year shall not exceed 2,000,000, subject to adjustment for certain events as set forth in the Omnibus Plan. This limit also applies to options and restricted stock where the value of the award is based on the fair market value of the Company’s shares. The maximum cash award that may be issued to any participant in any calendar year shall be (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) 300% of the participant’s base salary in effect as of the beginning of the applicable performance period, whichever is greater.

 

Performance-Based Compensation. With respect to any awards intended to be “performance-based” compensation, we intend to use one or more of the following business criteria as the basis of the performance goals, including but not limited to net income; income from continuing operations; stockholder return; stock price appreciation; earnings per share (including diluted earnings per share); net operating profit (including after-tax); revenue growth; organic sales growth; return on equity; return on investment; return on invested capital (including after-tax); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; operating income; operating margin; market share; return on sales; asset reduction; cost reduction; return on equity; cash flow (including free cash flow); bookings; and new product releases. The employees whose compensation would be subject to the performance goals would include our executive officers, including those officers required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

 

Change of Control. In the event of a change of control, the administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate vesting of awards issued under the Omnibus Plan such that 100% of any such award may become vested and exercisable. Additionally, the administrator has complete discretion to structure one or more awards under the Omnibus Plan to provide that such awards will become vested and exercisable on an accelerated basis. The administrator may also make appropriate adjustments to awards under the Omnibus Plan and is authorized to provide for the acceleration, termination, assumption, substitution, or conversion of such awards in the event of a change of control or certain other unusual or nonrecurring events or transactions. Under the Omnibus Plan, a change of control is generally defined as (1) the transfer or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by our stockholders of more than 50% of our voting securities to a person or group; (2) a change in the composition of our board of directors over a two-year period such that 50% or more of the members of the board were elected through one or more contested elections; (3) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination in which we are involved, directly or indirectly, other than a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination which results in our outstanding voting securities immediately before the transaction continuing to represent a majority of the voting power of the acquiring company’s outstanding voting securities and after which no person or group beneficially owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction; (4) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets; or (5) stockholder approval of our liquidation or dissolution.

 

Forms of Agreement. The Board has approved forms of agreement to govern nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, and restricted stock awards awarded under the Omnibus Plan. The forms of agreement governing nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options provide that the option will be forfeited upon a termination for Cause or upon the expiration of a three-month period following a termination for any reason other than Cause, disability or death. The forms of agreement define “Cause” as any material violation of any Company policy, embezzlement from, or theft of property belonging to, the Company; willful failure to perform or gross negligence in performing assigned duties; or other intentional misconduct, which has, or has the potential to have, a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the forms of agreement provide that the participant may, at the administrator’s discretion, exercise the option by delivering cash or requesting that shares underlying the option be withheld to satisfy the exercise price and any applicable withholding obligations. The form of agreement governing restricted stock awards provide that the Company has the option to repurchase, upon any type of separation from service of the participant, that portion of the award that is currently unvested or restricted.

 

Expiration. The Omnibus Plan will expire on, and no option or other award may be granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan after, August 21, 2022. Any award that is outstanding on the expiration date of the Omnibus Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the applicable award agreement.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Omnibus Plan and the forms of agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Omnibus Plan, the Amendment to the Omnibus Plan, the form of incentive stock option agreement, the form of nonqualified stock option agreement, and the form of stock restriction agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
