Item 5. Other Information
(a) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
In connection with the transition of C. Michael Petters from his position as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer to Executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2022, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a grant of restricted performance stock rights (“RPSRs”) under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) to Mr. Petters (the “2022 RPSR Award”). The terms of the 2022 RPSR Award approved by the Compensation Committee provide for full time-based vesting of the 2022 RPSR Award upon Mr. Petters’ retirement from the Company, subject
to continuation of the performance-based vesting requirements over the three-year performance period (which period ends on December 31, 2024) of the 2022 RPSR Award.
The terms of the RPSRs granted to Mr. Petters in 2021 under the 2012 Plan (the “2021 RPSR Award”) provided that, in the event of Mr. Petters’ retirement from the Company prior to the end of the applicable three-year performance period (which period ends on December 31, 2023), the number of RPSRs that could vest and become earned RPSRs upon achievement of the applicable performance criteria would be prorated based on the number of full months during the applicable three-year performance period that Mr. Petters was actually employed by the Company. As a result, on December 31, 2022, the effective date of Mr. Petters’ retirement from the Company, Mr. Petters’ 2021 RPSR Award was prorated to time vest two-thirds of the 2021 RPSR Award.
Consistent with the Compensation Committee’s intent for the 2021 RPSR Award to match the time-based vesting terms of the 2022 RPSR Award but recognizing that the 2021 RPSR Award was already prorated, on July 31, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a cash payment from the Company to Mr. Petters, which will be paid following the end of the 2021 RPSR Award performance period in an amount equal to (x) the value of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that he would have otherwise been entitled to receive under the 2021 RPSR Award without proration of the award, less (y) the value of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that Mr. Petters actually receives upon settlement of the prorated 2021 RPSR Award.
(c) Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements
None.
