Restricted Stock Awards
On October 1, 2014, the Compensation, Governance and Nominating Committee of Dominion Resources, Inc. (“Dominion”) approved restricted stock awards for Messrs. Thomas F. Farrell II, Mark F. McGettrick, Paul D. Koonce and David A. Christian of 21,658; 10,125; 6,314; and 6,314 shares, respectively. The awards are granted under Dominion’s 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan and are subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to restricted stock awards under Dominion’s 2014 long-term incentive program, except that they are subject to a one-year vesting period.
The awards recognize the critical role of Dominion’s leadership in accomplishing three major objectives: the successful negotiation and announcement of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project; Dominion’s successful implementation of its solar energy strategy; and the receipt of all material approvals for the Cove Point expansion. The awards for Messrs. Farrell and McGettrick reflect their contributions to the accomplishment of all three of these objectives, while Mr. Koonce’s award primarily reflects his contributions to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and Cove Point projects and Mr. Christian’s award primarily reflects his business unit’s contributions to the execution of Dominion’s solar energy strategy.
