Subject: <DATE RANGE> Long-Term Incentive Program
Date: <DATE1>
Dear <NAME>,
It is my pleasure to congratulate you for being selected to participate in the Long Term Performance Award Program (the “Program”) under The Stanley Black & Decker 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. This Program is intended to provide substantial, equity-based awards for specified full-time members of our senior executive team, provided specific Corporate goals are achieved during the Program’s <NUMBER> month measurement period (<DATE RANGE>).
In conjunction with our short-term incentive compensation program (MICP) and our equity award program, the Program is an important element of your total compensation package, and provides a strong additional incentive to continue increasing shareholder value.
Bonus Opportunity
Each participant will have an opportunity to earn a number of Performance Shares (PS) based upon achievement of corporate financial goals, and may earn additional performance shares if the corporate financial goals are exceeded. Each PS unit represents one share of Stanley Black & Decker Common Stock and, accordingly, the potential value of a participant’s performance award under the Program may change as our stock price changes.
Each participant is allocated a threshold, target and maximum number of PS units based upon assigned percentages of his or her annual base salary at the rate in effect as of <DATE2>. The initial value of each PS unit is $<AMOUNT>, the average of the high and low price of a share of company common stock on <DATE3>.
Your performance award covers the following number of PS units:
Threshold | Target | Max | |
% of Pay | <VALUE1> | <VALUE2> | <VALUE3> |
# PS | <NUMBER1> | <NUMBER2> | <NUMBER3> |
Performance awards will become vested at the time of settlement to the extent that the applicable performance metrics have been achieved and provided the participant is continuously employed by Stanley Black & Decker until such time, as more fully set forth in the enclosed Terms and Conditions Applicable to Long Term Performance Awards.
Financial Measurements
The Corporate financial goals for this Program will consist of three metrics. Two absolute goals (EPS and CFROI) and one relative goal (TSR) as set forth in the attached document.
Although this summary includes the key aspects of the Program, it is not intended to represent a full accounting of the rules and regulations applicable to the Program and is subject to the terms described in the Terms and Conditions Applicable to Long Term Performance Awards and The Stanley Black & Decker 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (available on request), which together with this document govern the Program.
If you have any questions, please call me, Jim Loree or Joe Voelker. Once again, thank you for your continued support and congratulations on being selected to participate in this important Program.
Best regards,
Terms and Conditions applicable to
Long Term Performance Awards
This certifies that Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the “Company”) has, on the Date set forth in Award Letter to which these Terms and Conditions apply, granted to the Participant named above a performance award (“Performance Award”) of that number of Performance Units set forth in the Award Letter, subject to certain restrictions and on the terms and conditions contained in the Award Documents and the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan is available upon request. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the Award Documents, the terms of the Plan shall govern. This Performance Award represents the right of the Participant to receive a number of Shares to be issued if the Company achieves the Performance Goals for the Measurement Period and employment requirements are satisfied.
1. | Time and Manner of Settlement. As soon as practicable following completion of the applicable Measurement Period, and assuming that the Threshold Performance Goals are achieved and employment requirements are satisfied, the Company shall issue a number of Shares to the Participant, in settlement of the Participant’s Performance Award, equal to (i) the number of Shares specified in the Award Letter to be issued based upon the Performance Goals achieved plus (ii) in the event performance falls between the Threshold and Target or Target and Maximum Goals as specified in the Award Documents, a pro rata number of Shares calculated as follows (rounded to the closest whole number): |
S = ((A-L)/(N-L))x(SN-SL)
where:
S =the additional number of Shares to be issued
A = the actual achievement in respect of the applicable performance factor
L = the Goal exceeded for the applicable performance factor (i.e., threshold or target)
N =the next highest Goal for the applicable performance factor (i.e., target or maximum)
SN =the number of Shares designated for issuance at the next highest applicable Performance Goal; and
SL = the number of Shares designated for issuance at the applicable Performance Goal reached.
2. | Vesting; form of settlement. Performance Awards will become vested on the Settlement Date to the extent that the applicable performance metrics have been achieved and provided that the participant is continuously employed by the Company until such time. Performance Awards will be settled in shares of Company common stock as soon as practicable following the end of the Measurement Period. Performance Awards will be settled in the form of Unrestricted Stock. |
If a participant’s employment with the Company terminates due to his or her Retirement, death or Disability prior to the date the Performance Awards are settled, the participant’s Performance Award will be pro-rated based on the number of
complete months in the Measurement Period that the participant was employed by the Company. The participant’s pro-rated Performance Award will be settled at the same time as performance awards for active participants are settled, to the extent the applicable performance metrics have been achieved. Pro-rated performance awards will be settled in the form of Unrestricted Stock. A participant whose employment with the Company terminates prior to the Settlement Date for any other reason will forfeit all rights in respect of his or her performance award and will not be entitled to receive any Shares or other payment under the Program.
3. | Rights of a Shareholder. The Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Performance Awards or any Shares issued in settlement thereof prior to the Settlement Date. |
4. | Transferability. Transferability shall be as set forth in the Plan. |
5. | Adjustments. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Committee shall have authority to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Performance Awards granted hereunder, as set forth in the Plan. |
6. | Miscellaneous. The Committee shall have full authority to administer the Performance Awards and to interpret the terms of the Award Documents, which authority includes the authority to waive certain conditions in appropriate circumstances. All decisions or interpretations of the Committee with respect to any question arising in respect of the Performance Awards shall be binding, conclusive and final. The waiver by the Company of any provision of this document or any other Award document shall not operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision of this document or any other Award document. The validity and construction of the terms of this document and any other Award document shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut. The terms and conditions set forth in this document and any other Award document are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which shall be controlling. The Participant agrees to execute such other agreements, documents or assignments as may be necessary or desirable to effect the purposes hereof. |
7. | Unfunded Arrangement. The Performance Awards represented in the Award Documents constitute an unfunded unsecured promise of the Company and the rights of the Participant in respect of the Performance Awards are no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company. |
