Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) On March 22, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CPI Card Group Inc. (the “Company”) approved an award of cash performance units (“CPUs”) for Lisa Jacoba, the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer, and the related form of award agreement, pursuant to the Company’s existing Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The CPUs are performance-based awards that will settle in cash, in an amount between 50% and 200% of the target award value, based on the performance of the Company’s stock price during each of three performance sub-periods (from the grant date through each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date). A payout will occur with respect to one-third of the award of CPUs following each performance sub-period.
In order to receive a payout with respect to the CPUs, Ms. Jacoba generally must remain in service with the Company for the duration of each performance sub-period, unless such service terminates under limited circumstances (e.g., due to the death or disability of the recipient or a qualifying termination of service within the two years following a change in control of the Company).
Ms. Jacoba will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation obligations while she remains in service and lasting for one year thereafter.
Ms. Jacoba received the following CPU award:
Name | | Cash Performance Units (#) | | Target Award Value ($) | |
Lisa Jacoba | | 67,073 | | $ | 67,073 | |
| | | | | | |
In addition to the foregoing, and consistent with prior years, Ms. Jacoba was also awarded (i) options to purchase 33,014 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.35 and with an expiration date of March 22, 2027 and (ii) 5,085 restricted stock units of the Company. The restricted stock units vest on the third anniversary of the March 22, 2017 award date.
Each award of CPUs, options and restricted stock units is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in the applicable award agreements.
