(e)  On October 4, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of H.B. Fuller Company (the "Company") approved a form of Performance-Based Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (the "Performance-Based NQSO Agreement") to be used to make grants of performance-based non-qualified stock options (the "Options") to certain executive officers contingent on the closing of the Company's acquisition of Royal Adhesives and Sealants, LLC ("Royal Adhesives"). The Company completed the acquisition of Royal Adhesives on October 20, 2017 and the Options were granted to such executive officers.
Due to changes in accounting standards relating to classification of pension net benefit cost in the Company's income statement, U.S. dollar devaluation, the sale of the surfactant, thickener and dispersion business announced on June 11, 2019 and the current global economic situation, especially in China, the Committee has concluded that the performance goals in the Performance-Based NQSO Agreement should be revised. Accordingly, on July 2, 2019, the Committee approved a First Amendment to each of the Performance-Based Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment contains the following amendments to each Performance-Based NQSO Agreement:
(1)
The definition of "Adjusted EBITDA" will be: "Adjusted net income attributable to H.B. Fuller + interest expense + interest income + income taxes + depreciation + amortization. Adjustments include items as publicly disclosed in the Company's quarterly earnings releases".
(2)
The effect of acquisitions and divestitures by the Company will be excluded from determinations of Adjusted EBITDA (i.e., Adjusted EBITDA will be based on the Company's EBITDA for the rolling 12-month period prior to any acquisition or divestiture).
(3)
The determination of Adjusted EBITDA will also take into account currency fluctuations (i.e., if the average of the Dow Jones USD worldwide currency index (the "DXY") moves up or down by 3.0% or more after the date of the First Amendment, Adjusted EBITDA will be further adjusted to reflect the percentage change in the average value of the DXY during the Company's 2020 fiscal year from the value of the DXY on the date of the First Amendment).
(4)
The Adjusted EBITDA "target" goal for the fiscal year 2020 will be changed from $600,000,000 to $547,000,000 (subject to any adjustment described in clauses (2) and (3) above).
All other terms of each of the Performance-Based NQSO Agreements, including the Option Exercise price of $57.70, remain unchanged.
The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Performance-Based NQSO Agreement, a copy which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
