The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the ATSG Board of Directors. The Plan will expire on May 7, 2025.
A more detailed description of the Plan is included as part of the Company's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting (the "Proxy Statement"), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2015. The descriptions of the Plan contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
