Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) On June 19, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of H&R Block, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amended forms of equity award agreements for long term incentive grants of restricted share units (“RSUs”), market stock units (“MSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) under the Company’s 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as well as amended alternate forms of equity award agreements for long term incentive grants of RSUs, MSUs, and PSUs under the Plan.
The amendments to the forms of equity award agreements include the following:
▪ | PSU Post-Vesting Holding Requirement. The forms of equity award agreements for PSUs have been modified to add a mandatory post-vesting holding requirement. Under the amended forms of equity award agreements for PSUs, a participating executive is required to hold at least 50% of the shares earned upon vesting of the PSUs for a period of one year after the vesting date. |
▪ | EBITDA Annual Growth Target. Under the prior year forms of equity award agreements for PSUs, the calculation of a participating executive’s PSU payout was based in part on the Company’s performance against a pre-established targeted percentage of year-over-year growth in earnings from continuing operations excluding interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) that applies, without change, for each year of the three-year performance period. Under the amended forms of equity award agreements for PSUs, the pre-established targeted percentage will be set for each year of the three-year performance period at the time of grant, but may be different for each such year. |
▪ | Revision of Confidentiality Provisions. All forms of equity award agreements for RSUs, MSUs, PSUs, and NQSOs have been amended to make clear that the confidentiality provisions contained therein are not intended to prohibit participants from providing information to the Securities and Exchange Commission or other government authorities. |
The amended forms of equity award agreements will be utilized beginning with grants of fiscal year 2018 long term incentive compensation under the Company’s long term incentive program. Consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed practices, the alternate forms of equity award agreements will be utilized for fiscal year 2018 long term incentive compensation for Thomas A. Gerke, the Company’s General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, who will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer (in an interim capacity) beginning August 1, 2017.
The other material terms of the forms of equity award agreements remain unchanged. The foregoing summary of the amended forms of equity award agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended forms, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
