Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 26, 2018, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted restricted stock units, pursuant to our 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”), that will enable the following persons to receive shares of our common stock, subject to satisfaction of specified conditions, as follows: (i) up to 132,122 shares to Morris Goldfarb, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is also a Director; (ii) up to 88,081 shares to Sammy Aaron, our Vice Chairman and President, who is also a Director; (iii) up to 66,061 shares to Wayne S. Miller, our Chief Operating Officer; (iv) up to 11,698 shares to Neal S. Nackman, our Chief Financial Officer; and (v) up to 33,030 shares to Jeffrey Goldfarb, our Executive Vice President, who is also a Director.
The above-named persons will be entitled to receive these shares of our common stock only if the performance conditions in clauses (a) and either (b)(1) or (b)(2) set forth below are satisfied:
(a) the average closing price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market over a twenty consecutive trading day period ending on or prior to April 30, 2020 is at least $41.78 (which is 15% above the closing price on the date of the grant); and either
(b) (1) (i) the amount of our consolidated earnings before interest and financing charges, net, and income tax expense (“EBIT”) for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2019, subject to certain adjustments for non-recurring items, is at least 10% greater than EBIT for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018, subject to certain adjustments for non-recurring items (“Fiscal 2018 EBIT”), or (ii) if the performance condition in clause (i) is not satisfied, our EBIT for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020, subject to certain adjustments for non-recurring items, is at least 20% greater than Fiscal 2018 EBIT; or
(2) the average closing price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market over a forty consecutive trading day period ending on or before January 31, 2020 is at least $45.4125 (which is 25% above the closing price on the date of grant).
(clauses (a) and (b) together, the “Performance Conditions”).
In addition, the right to receive shares of common stock pursuant to the above-described restricted stock unit grants will become vested in three equal annual installments on each of June 15, 2019, 2020 and 2021 (the “Time Vesting Condition”).
If the Performance Conditions are both satisfied, we will issue to an above-named grantee of restricted stock units one-third of the shares of common stock to which he is entitled under his grant on each of June 15, 2019, 2020 and 2021, but only if he remains employed by us or otherwise performs service for us on each vesting date. If both Performance Conditions are not satisfied within the above-described time periods, we will not issue any shares of common stock pursuant to the restricted stock unit grants. If both Performance Conditions are satisfied at any time during the above-reference time periods, we will issue shares of common stock in respect of all annual installment periods of the Time Vesting Condition for which shares have not previously been issued.
The number of shares of common stock to which the restricted stock units relate and the vesting price will be appropriately adjusted in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other extraordinary corporate events.
A copy of the form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for these grants under the 2015 Plan is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
