Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On May 24, 2013, the Human Resources Committee of our Board of Directors granted stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under our 2004 Equity Compensation Plan to the named executive officers listed below as follows:

 

Executive		Shares Underlying Stock Option Grants (#)				Shares Underlying RSU Grants (#)
Christopher J. Munyan			31,750				8,000
Vincent A. Paccapaniccia			13,350				4,000
William G. Kiesling			13,350				4,000
Laurie F. Gilner			6,750				1,300

The stock options have an exercise price of $29.55 per share and a seven-year term. Vesting and exercisability are contingent upon the satisfaction of the performance-based and service-based conditions described below. Each RSU constitutes a phantom right and will automatically be redeemed for one share of CSS common stock on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, contingent upon satisfaction of the performance-based and service-based conditions described below.

The stock options and RSUs will not vest unless a performance goal is satisfied within the four-year period ending on the fourth anniversary of the grant date (the “Performance Period”). In order for the performance goal to be satisfied, the Company must attain total shareholder return (“TSR”) of at least 30% during the Performance Period. TSR is measured by stock price performance and dividend accumulation and reinvestment. Satisfaction of the performance goal will be determined by comparing (a) the average closing price for a share of the Company’s common stock (as adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends paid during the Performance Period) over a period of 60 consecutive trading days during the Performance Period to (b) $29.55 per share, the closing price per share on May 23, 2013 (the last trading day prior to the grant date).

If the performance goal described above is not satisfied by the fourth anniversary of the grant date, then the stock options and RSUs will not vest, and the same will expire on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Otherwise, vesting will depend on the period in which the performance goal is satisfied, as reflected below:

 

Period in Which Performance Goal is Satisfied		Vesting Schedule for Stock Options		Vesting Schedule for RSUs
Within the 1st year following the grant date		25% on each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the grant date		50% on the 3rd anniversary of the grant date, and 50% on the 4th anniversary of the grant date
Within the 2nd year following the grant date		50% on the 2nd anniversary of the grant date, and 25% on each of the 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the grant date
Within the 3rd year following the grant date		75% on the 3rd anniversary of the grant date, and 25% on the 4th anniversary of the grant date
Within the 4th year following the grant date		100% on the 4th anniversary of the grant date		100% on the 4th anniversary of the grant date

A service-based vesting condition is also applicable to the foregoing stock options and RSUs. In order for the service-based vesting condition to be satisfied, the executive must remain in the employment of the Company or an applicable subsidiary of the Company on the applicable vesting date. Stock options become exercisable from and after the date on which they vest. RSUs, to the extent that they vest, will be redeemed automatically for shares of CSS common stock on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.
