Grant of Restricted Stock Units
Effective July 9, 2018, our compensation committee granted Curtis W. Stoelting (Chief Executive Officer), Michael L. Gettle (President, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary), Terence R. Rogers (Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer), and Scott B. Cousins (Chief Information Officer) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for 210,000, 210,000, 75,000 and 63,000 shares of our common stock, respectively.
Each RSU is equal in value to one share of our common stock, and one-third of the RSUs vest on each of May 15, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Recipients of RSU awards generally must remain employed by us on a continuous basis through the end of the relevant vesting period in order to receive any amount of the RSUs covered by that award, except that recipients may be entitled to accelerated delivery of a portion of unvested RSUs in the case of the recipient’s death or disability, or upon a change in control.
The foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements contained in the form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.20 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2011.
Management Retention Agreements
Effective July 9, 2018, we also entered into a Management Retention Agreement with each of Messrs. Stoelting, Gettle, Rogers and Cousins. Each Management Retention Agreement provides that we will pay the executive a specified Retention Bonus (described below) if we consummate a “Liquidity Event” prior to June 30, 2019. A Liquidity Event is generally defined as a change of control transaction with any person other than Elliott Associates, L.P. and its affiliates. Each Retention Bonus would be payable 50% upon the consummation of the Liquidity Event and 50% on the six-month anniversary of such closing, with accelerated payments if the executive is terminated without “Cause” or resigns for “Good Reason.” However, our obligation to pay Retention Bonuses will automatically terminate upon the grant to the executive of additional RSUs and performance restricted stock units for a specified minimum number of shares of our common stock as described below. The following table provides additional information with respect to the Management Retention Agreements:
Minimum Number of Shares Subject To Equity Awards Triggering Automatic Termination of Retention Bonus Obligations | |||
Executive | Amount of Retention Bonus | Additional RSUs | PRSUs |
Curtis W. Stoelting | $3,178,000 | 268,000 | 236,000 |
Michael L. Gettle | $2,858,000 | 268,000 | 236,000 |
Terence R. Rogers | $995,000 | 95,000 | 84,000 |
Scott B. Cousins | $783,000 | 83,000 | 72,000 |
The foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements contained in the Management Retention Agreements, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Management Retention Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.43 (Curtis W. Stoelting), 10.44 (Michael L. Gettle), 10.45 (Terence R. Rogers) and 10.46 (Scott B. Cousins).
