Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
At the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on May 16, 2017 in New Albany, Ohio, the stockholders of the Company approved the Amended and Restated Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was amended to (i) increase the number of authorized shares that can be awarded under the Plan by 2,000,000 shares (i.e., from 1,500,000 shares to 3,500,000 shares), (ii) require a one-year minimum vesting period for awards granted under the Plan, subject to limited exceptions, (iii) eliminate the reuse of shares withheld or delivered to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding requirements of stock options and stock appreciation rights (including any shares not issued as a result of the net-settlement of a stock-settled stock appreciation rights), and (iv) prohibit the current payment of dividends and dividend equivalents on unvested awards. The approval of the Plan also constituted re-approval of the material terms of the Plan for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
A description of the terms of the Plan and each of the awards that may be granted under it is contained in our definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2017.
