Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards.  The company’s long-term incentive awards granted since the spin-off from Verizon included a grant of performance units for the 2007-2009 performance cycle and grants of performance share units and restricted stock for the 2008-2010 performance cycle.  Under the related award agreements, if the employment of the named executive officer is terminated by the company without cause or as a result of the officer’s death, disability or retirement, then (a) the performance units and performance share units will vest immediately, subject to the company meeting the applicable TSR performance targets, and (b) the shares of restricted stock will vest immediately.

 

Under the award agreements, an officer is deemed to have been terminated without cause if the officer is terminated for any reason other than:

 

·      a felony conviction;

 

·      fraud involving the company;

 

·      willful failure to carry out material employment responsibilities;

 

·      behavior likely to have an adverse effect on the company;

 

·      a material violation of company policy; or

 

·      with respect to the 2007 award agreement only, a material breach of the non-disclosure, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in the award agreement.

 

However, please note that pursuant to our restructuring, all current equity incentive plans, equity ownership plans or other equity-based plans will likely be terminated and all equity owned under such plans will likely be cancelled.
