ITEM 5.02 | DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS |
On August 2, 2017, the stockholders of KEMET Corporation (the “Company”) approved the KEMET Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Omnibus Incentive Plan had previously been unanimously approved and adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval. The Omnibus Incentive Plan amends and restates the 2014 Amendment and Restatement of the 2011 Kemet Corporation Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”), in the following key respects:
| |
• | The Omnibus Incentive Plan increases the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Prior Plan by 4,800,000 shares; |
| |
• | The Omnibus Incentive Plan has a minimum vesting period of one year from the date of grant for all awards except with respect to a 10% carve-out from the minimum performance period and minimum vesting period requirements for certain types of awards; |
| |
• | Except with respect to options or stock appreciation rights, any shares delivered by participants or withheld by the Company in satisfaction of applicable tax withholding obligations are available for reissuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan; |
| |
• | In addition to including the existing limitations concerning awards made to directors, the Omnibus Incentive Plan limits directors from earning more than $300,000 in any fiscal year of the Company with respect to awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan whose value is denominated in cash; and |
| |
• | Dividends or dividend equivalents are subject to any performance or other vesting conditions on the underlying award under the Amended Plan. |
The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Prior Plan contained in the Omnibus Incentive Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
