2014 LTIP Award Agreements
On March 14, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Cloud Peak Energy Inc. (Cloud Peak Energy) approved various forms of equity award agreements (Award Agreements) pursuant to Cloud Peak Energys 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and in connection with the 2014 annual LTIP grants to employees. There are three 2014 Award Agreements, for the following types of grants: (1) stock options, (2) performance share units, and (3) restricted stock units. The Award Agreements are substantively similar to the respective 2013 Award Agreements previously disclosed for Cloud Peak Energys 2013 LTIP awards. The 2014 performance share unit agreement was modified to clarify the performance period requirements relative to the service period requirements, and the reinvestment of dividends for purposes of the total stockholder return calculation was simplified to assume reinvestment on a daily basis rather than as of the last trading day of the applicable fiscal quarter in which the dividends were paid.
The 2014 Award Agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference in this Item 5.02(e). The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the complete terms and conditions of the LTIP and the 2014 and 2013 Award Agreements, as appropriate.
