Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 2, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (the “Company”) granted restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards under the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to certain of the Company’s executive officers, including certain of its named executive officers. Alexander H. Ware, Chief Financial Officer, received 3,630 RSUs, James M. Schmidt, Chief Operating Officer received 5,024 RSUs, and Emily C. Decker, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary received 2,509 RSUs. The committee also approved a form of RSU Award Agreement to evidence each RSU award, the text of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The RSU awards are scheduled to vest in two substantially equal installments on July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019. If the participant’s employment terminates at any time prior to June 30, 2019, the RSU award will terminate and the participant will forfeit any unvested RSUs subject to the award. If, however, employment is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in the Plan), then a pro rata portion (based on the number of full fiscal months during which the participant was actively employed) of the number of RSUs that would have vested on the next scheduled vesting date if the participant’s employment had continued will vest. If the participant’s employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the Plan), resigns for good reason (as defined in the RSU Agreement), or retires after July 1, 2018 but before June 30, 2019, all unvested RSUs subject to the award will vest immediately as of the date of the termination of employment.
If a change in control of the Company (as defined in the RSU Agreement) occurs before the scheduled vesting date of the RSU awards, the RSUs will be subject to accelerated vesting and settlement only if an participant’s employment is terminated without cause, or the participant resigns for good reason, within one year after the change in control, or if the surviving entity in the change in control transaction refuses to continue, assume or replace the awards.
