Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 21, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of CVR Energy, Inc. (the "Company") approved, subject to stockholder approval, the Third Amended and Restated CVR Energy, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan").  As described below, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended Plan at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") held on
June 5, 2025
.
The Amended Plan modifies the CVR Energy, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as previously amended (the "2007 Plan") to increase the number of shares reserved under the 2007 Plan by an additional 2,500,000 shares, increasing the total number of shares under the 2007 Plan from 7,500,000 to 10,000,000. The outstanding awards under the 2007 Plan continue to remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. The Amended Plan also extends the term of the 2007 Plan until the date that is ten (10) years after the date on which the Board approved the Amended Plan, or April 21, 2035; provides that any awards granted under the Amended Plan (other than cash-based awards) will generally vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date of the grant for such award (subject to customary exceptions); expressly prohibits the payment of dividends and dividend equivalents with respect to any awards of options and stock appreciation rights; and clarifies that any awards granted under the Amended Plan are subject to the terms and conditions of (i) the Company's Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation; and (ii) any other clawback and/or recoupment policy or provision approved by the Board from time to time, in each case as amended from time to time and to the extent set forth in each applicable policy, award agreement or other document. The Amended Plan is described in the section entitled "Proposal 3 – Approve the Third Amended and Restated CVR Energy, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan" of the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2025 (the "Proxy Statement"), and which is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
On April 21, 2025, in connection with the approval of the Amended Plan, the Board also approved, subject to stockholder approval of the Amended Plan, the following new forms of awards for grants under the Amended Plan: (i) Third Amended and Restated CVR Energy, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan Incentive Unit Agreement (Executive) and (ii) Third Amended and Restated CVR Energy, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan Incentive Unit Agreement (collectively, the "Award Agreements"). Each of the Award Agreements has material terms that are substantially similar to the forms of award agreements last approved by the Board and previously disclosed by the Company, other than conforming changes to align with the Amended Plan and certain administrative updates. The foregoing description of the Award Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Award Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
