(e) Approval of the MYR Group Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of May 1, 2014)
On May 1, 2014, the stockholders of MYR Group Inc. (“MYR”) approved the MYR Group Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of May 1, 2014) (the “LTIP”). Among other things, the amendments to the LTIP provide for a 1,000,000 share increase in the number of shares of MYR’s common stock reserved and available for awards under the LTIP for a total of 4,000,000 shares. In addition, stockholder approval of the LTIP is intended to constitute renewed approval of the material terms for qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), so that incentive compensation payable under the LTIP may be designed so that it may be able to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation,” and may permit MYR to benefit from certain tax deductions under Section 162(m) of the Code.
The LTIP and a summary of material changes are described in Proposal 3 of MYR’s proxy statement for the 2014 annual meeting of its stockholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2014 (the “Proxy Statement”). The descriptions of the LTIP contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the LTIP, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

On May 1, 2014, the stockholders of MYR approved the MYR Group Inc. Senior Management Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of May 1, 2014) (the “SMIP”). Among other things, stockholder approval of the SMIP is intended to satisfy the approval requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code, so that incentive compensation payable under the SMIP may be designed so that it may be able to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation,” and may permit MYR to benefit from certain tax deductions under Section 162(m) of the Code.
The SMIP and a summary of material changes are described in Proposal 4 of the Proxy Statement. The descriptions of the SMIP contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the SMIP, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
