The Company’s stock incentive program permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualifying stock options, stock awards, performance shares
and performance units to employees and members of its Board of Directors. As a result of a stock award, a settlement of an award of performance shares, or by
exercise of a participant’s stock option, the Company may deliver common stock from the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock and/or from
outstanding common stock acquired by or on behalf of the Company in the name of the participant. Key provisions of the stock incentive program are:
Authorized limit is 14,500,000 shares of common stock;
Prohibits the grant of a stock option with an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of the
grant; and
Imposes the following award limits to a single participant in a single calendar year, (1) options for more than 500,000 shares of common stock;
(2) stock awards for more than 150,000 shares of common stock; (3) performance share awards for more than 300,000 shares of common stock
(based on the maximum payout under the award); or (4) more than 1,000,000 performance units, which have a face amount of $1.00 each.
The Company records compensation expense at fair value over the vesting period for all awards it grants.
