On February 19, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of WPX Energy, Inc. (the Company) adopted new forms of equity award agreements to be used for the award of performance-based restricted stock units and of time-based restricted stock awards under the WPX Energy, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the Plan) to executive officers and other eligible employees of the Company. The new equity award agreements include a non-solicitation provision that applies to award recipients while they are employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after leaving the Company. The new equity award agreements also require award recipients to accept the equity award within 90 days of the grant date.
On February 20, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Plan that allows award recipients to have shares withheld from their awards up to the maximum withholding rate permitted under applicable law.
Copies of the forms of award agreements and the amended Plan are filed as exhibits hereto and are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
