Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As described in Item 5.07 below, at the SPX Corporation (the “Company”) 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on May 9, 2019, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the Company’s 2019 Stock Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan, upon such approval, became effective as of May 9, 2019.

The 2019 Plan replaced the Company’s 2002 Stock Compensation Plan (the “2002 Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2019 Plan is the sum of 4,900,000 plus any shares underlying any outstanding award granted under the 2002 Plan that, following the effective date, expire, or are terminated, surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of such shares, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Plan, and subject to adjustment as set forth in the 2019 Plan. Awards may be granted under the 2019 Plan until May 9, 2029, the tenth anniversary of the 2019 Plan’s effective date, unless the 2019 Plan is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.

Additional details regarding the 2019 Plan are contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2019 (the “2019 Proxy Statement”) under the heading “Proposal No. 3: Approval of SPX Corporation 2019 Stock Compensation Plan.” The above description of the 2019 Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2019 Plan, which is appended to the 2019 Proxy Statement as Appendix A and incorporated by reference herein.
