The Western Union Company 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan
At the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of The Western Union Company (the "Company") held on May 17, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved The Western Union Company 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"), which had been previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") subject to stockholder approval. The 2024 Plan replaces The Western Union Company 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") with respect to future grants. The following paragraphs provide a summary of certain terms of the 2024 Plan.
The purposes of the 2024 Plan are: (i) to advance the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining high caliber employees, and other key individuals who perform services for the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) to align the interests of the Company's stockholders and recipients of awards under the 2024 Plan by increasing the proprietary interest of such recipients in the Company's growth and success; and (iii) to motivate award recipients to act in the long-term best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors will administer the 2024 Plan and will designate the eligible award recipients under the 2024 Plan; provided that in the case of awards granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will act as administrator of the 2024 Plan.
Under the 2024 Plan, the Company may grant: (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) "incentive stock options" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code); (iii) stock appreciation rights ("SARs"); (iv) restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock awards ("Stock Awards"); and (v) performance awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2024 Plan, the number of shares authorized for grants under the 2024 Plan is (i) 22,300,000 shares, plus (ii) any shares of common stock that are available for awards under the Prior Plan as of the effective date of the 2024 Plan. The number of shares that remain available for future grants under the 2024 Plan will be reduced by the aggregate number of shares that become subject to outstanding stock options, outstanding free-standing SARs, outstanding Stock Awards and outstanding performance awards denominated in shares of common stock, subject to certain exceptions set forth under the 2024 Plan.
The foregoing description of the 2024 Plan is qualified in its entirety by the text of the 2024 Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
