Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 25, 2012, AMETEK, Inc. (the "Company") determined it would accelerate the vesting on 25,043.25 shares (16,695.5 shares pre-split) of restricted stock previously granted to John J. Molinelli pursuant to the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. The accelerated vesting of these shares will be effective upon his retirement and separation from service from the Company as its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on July 1, 2012. Of these shares, 12,993.75 shares (8,662.5 shares pre-split) were scheduled to vest pro rata on a monthly basis through April 29, 2014 and 12,049.5 of these shares (8,033 shares pre-split) were scheduled to vest in three approximately equal installments on May 3 of 2013, 2014 and 2015. This action allows Mr. Molinelli to realize the value of his unvested Long-Term Incentive awards that he would otherwise forfeit as a result of his retirement and rewards him for his long and valued service to the Company. Mr. Molinelli has served the Company for over 43 years including 18 years as Chief Financial Officer.
