2012 Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan
On March 15, 2016, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2016 Annual Meeting") at which the Company's stockholders approved a further amended and restated 2012 Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (as so amended and restated, the "Amended Plan"), which had been previously recommended for approval by the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors, in each case, subject to stockholder approval. The Amended Plan became effective as of the date of such stockholder approval.
The Amended Plan is substantially the same as the 2012 Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (as amended through January 2014) (the "Existing Plan"), except that the Existing Plan has been amended and restated to increase by 9,100,000 the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder. Certain clarifications were also made to the terms of the plan document to better conform with current practices.
The material features of the Amended Plan are described in the Company's definitive Proxy Statement filed on February 1, 2016 in connection with the 2016 Annual Meeting, which description is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The above and the incorporated description of the Amended Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended Plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
