Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) At the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 28, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”), the shareholders of USEC Inc. (“USEC” or the “Company”) approved the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the USEC Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Amendment was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 17, 2011, subject to approval of the shareholders. As described in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2011 (the “Proxy Statement”), the Amendment:
|
·
|
Increases by 3,000,000 (from 4,500,000 to 7,500,000) the number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted under the Plan;
|
|
·
|
Modifies the existing “clawback” provision of the Plan to also provide that any awards under the Plan will be subject to any compensation recovery or “clawback” policy that may be adopted by the Board from time to time, including retroactively, in order to implement final rulemaking under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act or any future changes in law or regulation;
|
|
·
|
Makes more explicit that with respect to all awards whose vesting is contingent on performance, no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid unless and until the award vests; and
|
|
·
|
Extends the expiration date of the Plan from February 25, 2019 to February 17, 2021 (the tenth anniversary of the Board’s adoption of the Amendment).
|
The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein. A complete copy of the Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009 and is incorporated by reference herein.
