Item 8.01. Other Events
Attached, as exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, are the amended Form Restricted Stock Agreement under the SPX Corporation 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, and Form Restricted Stock Agreement under the SPX Corporation 2006 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan, under which future stock awards to SPX Corporation officers and directors will be made. Each of these agreements is amended to place restrictions on dividend payments on restricted stock granted under the amended agreement. Under these amended agreements, if cash dividends are paid with respect to any shares of restricted stock, such dividends shall be deposited in the executive’s name in an escrow or similar account maintained by SPX Corporation for that purpose. Further, such dividends shall be subject to the same time and performance restriction as the shares of restricted stock to which they relate, and are payable only after the date the related shares of restricted stock vest. If the related shares of restricted stock are forfeited, then any dividends related to such shares shall also be forfeited. The Company anticipates first using these Forms in connection with 2010 grants.
