Item 5.02 Departure of Certain Directors or Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

            As further described below in Item 5.07, on June 4, 2015, at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Concho Resources Inc. (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company approved and adopted the Concho Resources Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”).  The Stock Incentive Plan constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of April 19, 2012, which previously had been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s stockholders in 2012.

 

Previously, on April 14, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Stock Incentive Plan, which: (a) increases the number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue under the plan, and the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan through incentive stock options, by 3,000,000 shares; (b) extends the term of the plan until April 13, 2025; (c) imposes an annual, calendar year-based limitation on the awards that can be made under the plan to each non-employee director; and (d) revises the limit on the number of shares of common stock that may be granted under the plan to any one individual during the period beginning on April 14, 2015, and ending on the last day of the term of the plan to 50% of the number of shares being added to the plan as described in clause (a) above.

For more information about the Stock Incentive Plan, please read the Company’s definitive proxy statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2015.

The foregoing description of the Stock Incentive Plan is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company held its 2015 Annual Meeting on June 4, 2015.  At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders were requested to (i) elect three Class II directors to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors for a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (ii) ratify the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors’ selection of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, (iii) approve the Stock Incentive Plan, and (iv) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.  Each of these items is more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, which was filed with the SEC on April 21, 2015.
