(e) The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 27, 2011, the stockholders of International Shipholding Corporation (the “Company”) approved the International Shipholding Corporation 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company will generally administer the Plan, and has the authority to grant awards under the Plan, including setting the terms of the awards. Incentives under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of the following forms: incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards.
A total of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized to be issued under the Plan. This Plan will replace the Company’s only other current long-term incentive plan, under which 53,066 shares remained available for issuance. Officers, directors, and key employees of the Company and the Company’s consultants and advisors will be eligible to receive incentives under the Plan when designated by the compensation committee as Plan participants.
The Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by our board of directors, subject to the requirement that certain amendments may not be made without stockholder approval. In addition, no amendment may materially impair an award previously granted without the consent of the recipient. Unless terminated sooner, no awards will be made under the Plan after April 27, 2021.
For further information regarding the Plan, see our proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2011. This brief summary of Plan terms is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Plan, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 99.2 to this report.
