Restricted shares are issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock held in escrow pending distribution to participants as they
vest depending on time and continued service to the Company.
Awards of restricted shares made in 2017 vest in three equal
installments on March 31 of 2018, 2019 and 2020 (December 31 of
2017, 2018 and 2019 in the case of Dr. Mink). Like other
outstanding shares of Common Stock, restricted shares are
entitled to receive cash dividends as declared by the Board of
Directors and to be voted on stockholder matters by participants.
Generally, except for special circumstances, failure to remain
with the Company for the full vesting period causes unvested
shares to be forfeited.
The options, all of which are non-qualified options, were granted
at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common
Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market on the date of
grant. Generally, the stock options granted in the 2017 program
vest in three equal installments on March 31 of 2018, 2019 and
2020 (December 31 of 2017, 2018 and 2019 in the case of Dr.
Mink). Vested options may be exercised in whole or in part, and,
for actively employed participants, those options that remain
unexercised will expire after ten years from the date of the
grant. Special circumstances for vesting and exercise apply for
different kinds of service terminations, as set forth in the
terms of the grant.
The performance shares relate to an award cycle covering the
three year period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. The
awards are expressed in terms of target numbers of shares of
Common Stock, but less or more (up to two times the target award)
than the number of target shares can be earned depending on
performance over the award cycle. Performance metrics for the
cycle include two equally weighted bonus factors, a free cash
flow bonus factor and a contribution margin as a percentage of
sales bonus factor. Overall payouts of performance shares will be
modified based on the Companys total stockholder return (TSR)
over the three year performance cycle as compared to the TSR
earned by the companies composing the Standard and Poors 500
Index during this same period. Dividend equivalents for earned
shares will be accrued during the performance period and paid out
in cash (after the end of the period) on shares, if distributed.
Generally, except for special circumstances, continued service
with the Company through the end of the cycle is required to
receive a full payout.
In general, all three types of awards under the 2017 program are
entitled to accelerated vesting and other enhanced rights in
connection with Changes in Control (as defined in the 2009 LTIP)
and the participants individual employment circumstances as
affected by the change. Awards of all three types that have not
yet vested are also subject to forfeiture in event former
employees violate any applicable non-compete covenants or do not
fulfill requirements during any remaining vesting period to
render assistance to the Company, as requested, in legal
proceedings.
The current form of award agreement for grants under the 2009
LTIP (including each of the above grants) is filed herewith as
Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
