The Plan will be administered by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board, which has the discretion and authority to make awards in any combination of the foregoing forms with vesting and other award provisions to provide incentives consistent with the purpose of the Plan.
Any Company employee and all outside directors are eligible to participate in the Plan. No single participant may be granted awards under the Plan in any fiscal year, subject to the attainment of performance goals, relating to more than 200,000 shares of common stock. There is no restriction in the Plan concerning the number shares that may be granted under full-value awards under the Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan will continue in effect until January 1, 2020.
For a more detailed discussion of the terms and conditions of the Plan, please see the description of the Plan set forth in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A relating to the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2009 (the “Proxy Statement”), under the heading “Proposal Number Two: Approval of the Adoption of the Flowserve Corporation Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan.” The foregoing description of the Plan and the description of the Plan contained in the Proxy Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan.
