Mr. Sachdev's and Khattri's Awards were granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of their respective employment agreements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") of December 16, 2015 and August 18, 2015, respectively.
The Awards to the Executives were made pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the "RSU Agreement), a new Performance-based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the "PSU Agreement") and a new Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (the "SOP Agreement," and together with the RSU Agreement and the PSU Agreement, the "Award Agreements"), as applicable.
On March 25, 2016, each Executive entered into a RSU Agreement with Platform with respect to their respective RSU grants pursuant to the Plan. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one (1) share of Platform's common stock. A form of RSU Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.11 to Platform's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on January 2, 2014, which form is incorporated herein by reference. A description of the material terms of each of the new PSU Agreement and SOP Agreement is included below.
PSU Agreement
On March 25, 2016, each Executive entered into a PSU Agreement with Platform with respect to their respective PSU grants pursuant to the Plan. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one (1) share of Platform's common stock. The PSUs will be earned and vested over a three-year performance period upon achievement of Platform's (i) return on invested capital ("ROIC"), multiplied by the applicable ROIC modifier, as measured from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, and (ii) annual compound total shareholder return ("TSR"), multiplied by the applicable TSR modifier, as measured from March 16, 2016 to March 15, 2019. For such purposes, TSR means the percentage change in the price of Platform's shares of common stock based on a thirty (30) calendar-day average up to each such date. The PSUs may, in certain circumstances, become immediately vested as of the date of a change in control of Platform.
SOP Agreement
On March 25, 2016, each Executive who received a SOP grant under the Plan entered into a PSU Agreement with Platform with respect to their respective SOP awards. The stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Platform's shares of common stock on the day prior to the grant date (March 16, 2016), which options expire in ten years and vest annually on a pro rata basis with 1/3 of the shares vesting on March 16 over three years, subject to the Executive's continuous service as of each such date. The shares subject to the stock option may, in certain circumstances, become immediately vested as of the date of a change in control of Platform.
The descriptions of the PSU Agreement and the SOP Agreement contained herein are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the PSU Agreement and the SOP Agreement, forms of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. The Award Agreements are also qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2013 Plan, a summary of which was included in Proposal 4 in Platform's definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 25, 2014, and a copy of which was filed as Appendix A to such definitive proxy statement. Both the summary and copy of the 2013 Plan are incorporated herein by reference.
