On February 26, 2013, the Human Resources and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of MoneyGram International, Inc. (the “Company”) approved one-time contingent performance awards for certain executive officers and other key employees of the Company. The Committee designed and granted these awards to help motivate and retain such officers and employees who currently hold time-based and performance-based stock options. The performance-based vesting provisions of these options contain relatively high stock price vesting hurdles of between $24 and $36 and between $36 and $42.
The one-time contingent performance awards were granted under the Company’s 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The performance goal for these awards is based on the Company achieving a target compound annual growth rate of the Company’s total revenues over a three-year period. If the performance goal is attained as of December 31, 2015, the performance awards will vest and each participant, if still employed at that time, will receive the value of their performance award. Recipients who are executive officers will receive 50% of their award in cash and 50% in stock, based on restricted stock units granted to the officers that would vest at such time. For all other recipients, 100% of their award will be paid in cash. If the performance goal is not attained, the performance award will not vest and the executive will not receive any cash or stock related thereto. The potential payout of the performance award for the named executive officers of the Company is set forth below:
Name | Title | RSU Award (#) | Cash Award ($) | Total Value of Award If Performance Goal Achieved ($) | ||||||||||
