Award Timing MNPI Disclosure
The Committee grants equity awards primarily as part of its annual compensation review process. The Committee approved a practice for establishing the grant date for equity awards. Under this practice, the Committee makes annual awards of equity during the first quarter of each fiscal year, normally in advance of, or shortly after, the annual earnings release, with an effective grant date as of the last to occur of the following: (i) the date of the final action necessary by the Committee, the board of directors or the CEO (as appropriate) to approve such award; (ii) such later date as may be specified in the terms of such award; or (iii) if the effective date under (i) or (ii) above would not fall within an “open window” trading period, then such award will be made with an effective grant date as of the second trading date following the date of our next succeeding release of quarterly or annual financial results.
Similarly, if the Committee, the board of directors or the CEO (as appropriate) makes special awards for new hires, retention, promotions and special recognition during an “open window” trading period then the effective grant date will be the date of the grant. But, if the Committee, the board of directors or the CEO (as appropriate) acts outside of such a period, then such award will be granted with an effective grant date as of the second trading date following the date of our next succeeding release of quarterly or annual financial results. The exercise price for stock options is the fair market value of our stock (average of high and low prices) on the grant date. During 2024, the Committee did not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards, and we did not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
By making grants during the first quarter, the Committee is able to consider the previous year’s financial performance in determining the size and structure of such grants, both in the aggregate and with respect to individual executives. Additionally, by making the awards during the first quarter, such grants are coordinated with the annual bonus awards. Although our incentive stock plan specifies that our CEO is authorized to grant individual equity awards up to 50,000 shares in any given year, our CEOs have historically chosen not to rely on that authorization and instead have presented all recommended equity awards to the Committee, including new hires and promotions. Our incentive and stock compensation plan prohibits
re-pricing
of stock options.
