Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Compensatory Arrangements
On May 5, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering” or “us”) appointed Roderick A. Larson to serve as a Class III Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oceaneering following the retirement of M. Kevin McEvoy as our Chief Executive Officer. In connection with Mr. Larson’s increase in responsibilities, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) increased his annual base salary rate for the remainder of 2017 to $700,000 and granted supplemental awards of 9,825 performance units and 25,163 restricted stock units to him under Oceaneering’s Second Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).
The performance units will be settled in cash. Each has an initial notional value of $100, but the final value may range from $0 to $200. The restricted stock units will be settled in shares of Oceaneering common stock, each unit representing the equivalent of one share. Mr. Larson’s supplemental performance units and supplemental restricted stock units are scheduled to vest in full on February 24, 2020.
In addition, on May 5, 2017, the Board granted Mr. McEvoy an award of 6,000 shares of restricted stock under the Incentive Plan, and approved a 2017 base annual cash retainer of $70,000 payable to Mr. McEvoy on a quarterly basis. The restricted stock award is scheduled to vest in full on the first anniversary of the award date.
The above-described awards to Messrs. Larson and McEvoy under the Incentive Plan may be subject to early vesting under certain conditions, and the foregoing descriptions are incomplete and qualified by reference to the complete agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this report and incorporated by reference into this Item.
Pursuant to Oceaneering’s performance-based 2017 Annual Cash Bonus Award Program approved by the Compensation Committee on February 24, 2017 under the Incentive Plan, Mr. Larson’s target and maximum possible bonus percentages remain unchanged at 125% and 250%, respectively, but the dollar amount of his bonus under this program, if any, would be determined by applying the applicable percentage to his 2017 base salary on a prorated basis. Also effective May 5, 2017, the Compensation Committee increased the percentage of Mr. Larson’s base salary to be credited to his notional account in Oceaneering’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan to 50%.
