Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers
On October 30, 2023, James C. Fish, Jr., President, Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors, adopted a stock trading plan (the “Fish Trading Plan”). The Fish Trading Plan went into effect on the date of adoption and was not intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Fish Trading Plan provided for the potential exercise of 83,419 vested stock options and instructed that, upon our common stock reaching a specified market price on or before December 7, 2023, the options would automatically be exercised and the Company would withhold shares of common stock necessary to cover tax requirements and the exercise price of such options. The Fish Trading Plan provided that Mr. Fish would continue to hold all remaining shares of common stock resulting from the option exercise after the net share settlement process.
On November 21, 2023, Mr. Rafael Carrasco, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Strategy, adopted a stock trading plan (the “Carrasco Trading Plan”) intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Carrasco Trading Plan will commence on February 20, 2024 and will automatically terminate on the earlier of February 20, 2025 and the completion of all of the contemplated transactions set forth therein. The Carrasco Trading Plan provides for the potential cashless exercise of two stock option awards totaling 4,207 stock options, upon our common stock reaching a specified market price, pursuant to which shares of common stock will be sold to cover option costs, tax obligations, commissions and fees; Mr. Carrasco will then continue to hold all remaining shares of common stock resulting from the option exercise after the settlement.
On November 21, 2023, Ms. Devina Rankin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, adopted a stock trading plan (the “Rankin Trading Plan”) intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Rankin Trading Plan will commence on February 20, 2024 and will automatically terminate on the earlier of February 20, 2025 and the completion of all of the contemplated transactions set forth therein. The Rankin Trading Plan provides for the potential sale of 50% of net after-tax shares of our common stock received from the payout of performance share unit (“PSU”) equity compensation awards, for the performance period ended December 31, 2023, upon our common stock reaching a specified market price. Ms. Rankin received a target grant of 14,736 PSU awards with a performance period ended December 31, 2023; the number of shares to be paid out to Ms. Rankin on account of these PSU awards can range from zero to 200% of the initial target grant. As a result, the number of shares of common stock to potentially be sold pursuant to the Rankin Trading Plan will be determined in the first quarter of 2024 based on certification by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company’s achievement relative to applicable performance measures for the underlying PSU awards.
On December 1, 2023, Mr. Fish adopted a stock trading plan (the “Second Fish Trading Plan”) intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Second Fish Trading Plan will commence on March 1, 2024 and will automatically terminate on the earlier of February 20, 2025 and the completion of all of the contemplated transactions set forth therein. The Second Fish Trading Plan provides for (a) the potential sale of up to 19,100 shares of our common stock upon our common stock reaching specified market prices and (b) the potential sale of 50% of net after-tax shares of our common stock received from the payout of PSU equity compensation awards for the performance period ended December 31, 2023, upon our common stock reaching a specified market price. Mr. Fish received a target grant of 59,650 PSU awards with a performance period ended December 31, 2023; the number of shares to be paid out to Mr. Fish on account of these PSU awards can range from zero to 200% of the initial target grant. As a result, as described above in connection with the Rankin Trading Plan, the number of shares of common stock to potentially be sold pursuant to the Second Fish Trading Plan will be determined in the first quarter of 2024.
