ITEM 8.01. Other Events
SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE
2018 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 2018
On February 7, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Murphy Oil Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the 2018 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Plan”). The Company is requesting shareholders approve the Plan at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The Company has never granted any performance-based awards to non-employee directors. The Company has only granted time-based vesting restricted share awards, and intends to continue this practice in the future. In order to align the Plan with the Board’s intention, the Board approved an amendment to the Plan on April 25, 2018 to provide solely for time-based vesting of awards for non-employee directors, and remove any ability to grant awards subject to a performance condition.
If approved, the Plan will allow the Company to continue to provide equity compensation awards to its non-employee directors as part of their overall compensation, which awards may be granted in the form of stock options and restricted share and unit awards.
