ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On May 7, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Phibro Animal Health Corporation (the “Company”) approved the grant of an aggregate of 250,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Larry Miller, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Incentive Plan.

 

Eighty percent of the RSUs granted to Mr. Miller are subject to performance-based vesting (the “Performance-Based RSUs”). The Performance-Based RSUs will vest on December 31, 2020 in increments from 0% to 100% based on the 90-day average of the Company’s stock price from $0 to $80 ending on December 31, 2020, so long as Mr. Miller’s employment has not been terminated prior to such date; provided that if Mr. Miller’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Miller with good reason (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), the Performance-Based RSUs will vest based on the 90-day average of the Company’s stock price ending on a date selected by Mr. Miller during the period beginning on the date of termination and ending on the first to occur of (i) December 31, 2020, (ii) the first anniversary of the date of termination and (iii) March 15th of the year following the date of termination.

 

Twenty percent of the RSUs granted to Mr. Miller are subject to time-based vesting (the “Time-Based RSUs”). All of the Time-Based RSUs will vest on December 31, 2020, so long as Mr. Miller’s employment has not been terminated prior to such date; provided that the Time-Based RSUs will fully vest on an earlier Qualifying Termination.

 

In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, following which either (i) 100% of the Company’s shares of stock cease to be traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange and the Company is no longer listed on any such exchange or (ii) a Qualifying Termination occurs with twelve (12) months, all unvested RSUs will immediately vest in full.

 

Each RSU entitles Mr. Miller to receive one share of common stock of the Company 30 days after vesting, unless the distribution would be made during a trading blackout period imposed by the Company, in which case the distribution will be made on the earlier of (i) the date that Mr. Miller is not subject to such blackout period and (ii) the later of (A) the end of the calendar year in which such distribution would otherwise have been made and (B) a date that is immediately prior to the expiration of two and one-half months following the date such distribution would otherwise have been made.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
