Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 30, 2007, the Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) Compensation, Governance and Nominating (CGN) Committee approved the 2007 Long-Term Compensation Program (the “Program”) for its officers, including those officers named in Dominion’s 2007 Proxy Statement. The Program is being awarded pursuant to Dominion’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan and consists of two components of equal value: a restricted stock grant and a cash-based performance grant. The restricted stock is subject to a three-year cliff vesting period, while payout of the performance grant will be based on the achievement of two performance metrics: total shareholder return versus the 2007 peer group and return on invested capital. Payout on the performance grant will be made by March 15, 2009, with the amount of the award to vary depending on the level of achievement of the performance metrics. The Forms of Restricted Stock Grant and Performance Grants under the Program are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
Also on March 30, 2007, the CGN Committee approved a separate 2007 Long-Term Compensation Program for the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dominion Exploration & Production, Inc. (the “E&P Program”). The E&P Program is being awarded pursuant to Dominion’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan and consists of two components: a restricted stock grant and a cash-based performance grant. The restricted stock is subject to a one year vesting period, while the payout of the performance grant will be based on the achievement of funding and payout goals established for the Dominion Exploration & Production segment under Dominion’s 2007 Annual Incentive Plan. Payout on the performance grant will be made by March 15, 2008, with the amount of the award to vary depending on the level of achievement of the performance metrics. The Forms of Restricted Stock Grant and Performance Grants under the E&P Program are included as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4.
