PERFORMANCE STOCK AWARD GRANTS TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
On February 23, 2016, the Committee of the Board of the Company approved the grant of awards of performance stock (“Performance Stock”) under the Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation Third Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, to each of the following executive officers (the “Executives”), effective as of March 14, 2016:
Peter J. Arduini, President and CEO
Glenn G. Coleman, CVP and CFO
Robert T. Davis, Jr., CVP, President of Specialty Surgical Solutions
Richard D. Gorelick, CVP, General Counsel, Administration and Secretary
John Mooradian, CVP, Global Operations and Supply Chain
Each share of Performance Stock represents the Executive’s right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock if the applicable time- and performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied.
Pursuant to the Performance Stock awards, each Executive is eligible to vest in and receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock ranging from zero percent (0%) to one-hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the target number of shares of Performance Stock granted (for each Executive, the “Target Performance Shares”) based on the Company’s achievement of goals relating to the increase in the Company’s annual revenue (the “Performance Goal”) during each fiscal year of the performance period running from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018 (the “Performance Period”), and subject to the Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each of the first three anniversaries of the award date. The dollar amount of the Target Performance Shares to be granted to each Executive on March 14, 2016 is as follows:
Executive
Dollar Amount of the Target Performance Shares
Peter J. Arduini
$2,250,000
Glenn G. Coleman
$350,000
Robert T. Davis, Jr.
$240,000
Richard D. Gorelick
$132,000
John Mooradian
$85,000



With respect to each fiscal year during the Performance Period, each Executive will be eligible to vest, on the anniversary of the grant date that follows such fiscal year, in a number of shares of Performance Stock equal to one-third of the Target Performance Shares multiplied by (y) the applicable performance vesting percentage for that fiscal year (determined based on achievement of the Performance Goal for such year). However, if the Performance Goal with respect to a given fiscal year is not achieved at the “target” level or higher, and the Company achieves a target cumulative revenue growth rate goal over the Performance Period, then additional shares of Performance Stock will vest, on the third anniversary of the grant date, as though the Performance Goal for such fiscal year was achieved at the “target” level. Except as set forth below, any shares of Performance Stock that remain unvested as of the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates and any shares of Performance Stock that fail to vest as of the third anniversary of the grant date will be cancelled and forfeited.
In the event that an Executive incurs a termination of service due to the Executive’s disability or death, then the award will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goal(s) during each remaining fiscal year in the Performance Period (or vest upon a change in control, as described below). In addition, in the event that Mr. Arduini incurs a termination of service either by the Company without cause or by Mr. Arduini for good reason, then the award will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals, during each remaining fiscal year in the Performance Period (or vest upon a change in control, as described below).
In the event that a change in control occurs during the Performance Period, the shares of Performance Stock that relate to the fiscal year in which the change in control occurs will performance-vest at the greater of “target” level and actual performance through the date of such change in control, and will remain eligible to vest subject to the Executive’s continued service through the anniversary of the grant date that immediately follows such change in control. Shares of Performance Stock that relate to any subsequent fiscal years in the Performance Period will performance-vest at the “target” level, and will remain eligible to vest subject to the Executive’s continued service through the applicable anniversary of the grant date.
In the event that an Executive other than Mr. Arduini incurs a termination without cause or for good reason, in either case, within 12 months following the date of a change in control or a termination due to such Executive’s death or disability on or following a change in control, then any outstanding performance-vested shares of Performance Stock will vest in full upon such termination of service. If Mr. Arduini incurs a termination of service (i) either by the Company without cause or by Mr. Arduini for good reason or (ii) a termination of service by reason of his disability or death, in either case, at any time following a change in control, any outstanding performance-vested shares of Performance Stock will vest in full upon such termination of service.
The foregoing description of the Performance Stock awards does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Performance Stock Agreement and Arduini Form of Performance Stock Agreement, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated by reference herein.
