ITEM 5.02 | DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS. | |
As described in Item 5.07 below, Comerica Incorporated ("Comerica") held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 24, 2018. At the meeting, Comerica's shareholders approved the Comerica Incorporated 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2018 LTIP"). The 2018 LTIP was previously approved by the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Comerica, subject to stockholder approval. The 2018 LTIP replaces the Comerica Incorporated Amended and Restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Prior Plan"). Effective upon the approval of the 2018 LTIP, the Prior Plan was closed to further grants and the shares still available for grant under the Prior Plan will not be available for grant under the 2018 LTIP, provided that to the extent that any award outstanding under the Prior Plan is forfeited, terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, or is settled for cash, or the shares subject to such award are not delivered as a result thereof, including any shares that are unearned under performance awards taking into account the maximum possible payout, such shares shall again be available for awards under the 2018 LTIP.
The 2018 LTIP will be administered by the Committee and generally provides for the granting to Comerica’s officers, employees and consultants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash awards. 5,750,000 shares of Comerica common stock, par value $5.00 per share, are authorized for issuance through the 2018 LTIP.
A description of other material terms and conditions of the 2018 LTIP is on pages 104-114 of our definitive proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2018, which description is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the 2018 LTIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2018 LTIP, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the adoption of the 2018 LTIP, the Committee approved the following form agreements:
• | the forms of agreement for awards of restricted stock units (both cliff vesting and non-cliff vesting) to be granted under the 2018 LTIP; |
• | the form of agreement for awards of stock options to be granted under the 2018 LTIP; |
• | the form of agreement for Senior Executive Long-Term Performance (“SELTPP”) restricted stock units to be granted under the 2018 LTIP; and |
• | the forms of agreement for awards of restricted stock (both cliff vesting and non-cliff vesting) to be granted under the 2018 LTIP. |
Each of the form agreements listed above is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
