Grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance Units”) under the Company’s 1998 Equity Incentive Plan were approved covering the number of units set forth below. The number of Performance Units granted to Mr. Hanley includes an additional 3,200 units in recognition of his efforts in connection with the Company’s recent agreement to acquire Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc. The Performance Units will be issued on the second Friday of January 2014. Each Performance Unit will convert into one share of LKQ common stock on the applicable vesting date. The Performance Units will be subject to two vesting conditions, each of which must be satisfied: (a) time-based vesting equal to 16.67% of the number of Performance Units subject to the award (rounded to the nearest whole share) on July 14, 2014 and on each six-month anniversary of July 14, 2014; and (b) a performance-based condition of positive fully-diluted earnings per share of the Company (subject to adjustment for certain extraordinary items) for any of the first five fiscal years ending after the grant date.  If and when the performance-based condition is met, all Performance Units that had previously met the time-based vesting condition will vest immediately and the remaining Performance Units will vest according to the remaining schedule of the time-based condition.  If the performance-based condition is not met, all Performance Units will be forfeited. The Performance Units will be subject to the terms and conditions of a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report on Form 8-K.  In the event a named executive officer’s employment or other affiliation with the Company terminates (other than because of death or disability), all unvested Performance Units will be forfeited. In the event of death or disability, all unvested Performance Units become fully vested. Performance Unit grants are subject to the full terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, which was included as Appendix A to our 2013 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013.
