Exhibit 99.1 AMERON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT Pursuant to the 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN This Restricted Stock Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of the Date of Grant, indicated below, by and between Ameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the person named below as Participant. WHEREAS, Participant is a member of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") and is not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and WHEREAS, to encourage Participant to own shares of the Company's common stock for the purposes set forth in the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company wishes to grant Participant an award to purchase shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") pursuant to the Plan on the terms and conditions set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 1. Grant of Restricted Stock; Certain Terms and Conditions. The Company hereby grants to Participant, and Participant hereby accepts, as of the Date of Grant, the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock indicated below (the "Restricted Shares") at the purchase price per share indicated below (the "Purchase Price"). The aggregate Purchase Price must be paid to the Company on or prior to 5:00 o'clock p.m., Los Angeles time, on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Date of Grant. The Restricted Shares shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement including the restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that on each anniversary of the Date of Grant, the restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall terminate with respect to that number of Restricted Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the total number of Restricted Shares multiplied by the Annual Vesting Rate indicated below (the termination of such restrictions with respect to any Restricted Share, for any reason, shall be referred to herein as the "vesting" of such share). Participant Date of Grant: Number of shares purchasable: Purchase Price per share: Annual Vesting Rate: 2. Consideration; Method of Payment. (a) The consideration for the issuance and sale of Restricted Shares contemplated hereby may include, in addition to the Purchase Price per share indicated in Section 1 hereof, consideration in the form of past services to the Company. If the Purchase Price per share is $0, the total consideration for the issuance and sale of the Restricted Shares shall be equal to the aggregate par value thereof and such consideration shall be deemed to have been received by the Company, on or prior to the Date of Grant, in the form of past services. (b) The aggregate Purchase Price must be paid to the Company in cash or by check payable to the Company. Upon payment to the Company in full of the aggregate Purchase Price as provided herein on or prior to 5:00 o'clock p.m., Los Angeles time, on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Date of Grant, Participant shall be deemed to have purchased the Restricted Shares effective as of the Date of Grant. 3. Restrictions. Until a Restricted Share vests, it may not be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner. 4. Acceleration of Vesting upon Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), all of the then unvested Restricted Shares shall vest immediately. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall mean one or more of the following: (a) The acquisition, directly or indirectly by any person or related group of persons (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act), but other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under control with the Company, of beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act) of securities of the Company that results in such person or related group of persons beneficially owning securities representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding securities; (b) A merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party, if (i) the beneficial owners of the Company's securities immediately before the transaction, do not, immediately after the transaction, have beneficial ownership of securities of the surviving entity or parent thereof representing at least 50% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the surviving entity or parent, and (ii) the directors of the Company immediately prior to consummation of the transaction do not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the surviving entity or parent upon consummation of the transaction; (c) A change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") over a period of thirty-six (36) consecutive months or less such that a majority of the Board members ceases by reason of one or more contested elections for Board membership, to be comprised of individuals who either (i) have been Board members since the beginning of such period or (ii) have been elected or nominated for election as Board members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members described in clause (i) who were still in office at the time the Board approved such election or nomination; or (d) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company unless (i) the beneficial owners of the Company's securities immediately before the transaction have, immediately after the transaction, beneficial ownership of securities representing at least 50% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the entity acquiring the Company's assets, and (ii) the directors of the Company immediately prior to consummation of the transaction constitute a majority of the board of directors of the entity acquiring the Company's assets upon consummation of the transaction. 5. Repurchase of Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Participant shall cease to serve as a member of the Board for any reason other than retirement from the Board with the written consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board after having served as a director of the Company for an aggregate of at least five (5) full years, including, without limitation, death, disability, resignation, termination for cause or termination without cause, then unless the Company shall determine otherwise, the Company shall repurchase each then unvested Restricted Share at a purchase price equal to the Purchase Price per share. 6. Payment of Withholding Taxes. (a) Obligation. Participant is liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Restricted Shares, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax reporting or withholding obligations that arise in connection therewith. The Company does not make any representation or undertaking regarding the tax treatment of the grant or vesting of the Restricted Shares or the subsequent sale of the Restricted Shares. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Restricted Shares to reduce or eliminate Participant's tax liability. (b) Stock Withholding. Participant may satisfy any tax withholding obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Restricted Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to this grant one or more of such shares with an aggregate fair market value equal to the withholding obligation. Participant also may satisfy tax withholding obligation by delivering previously acquired shares of unrestricted Common Stock (held for the requisite period to avoid a charge to the earnings of the Company) in satisfaction of such obligation. The withheld or delivered shares will be valued at fair market value on the applicable determination date for the tax withholding obligation. 7. Escrow. (a) Until a Restricted Share vests, the stock certificate representing such Restricted Share shall be held in escrow in the custody of the Secretary of the Company, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock powers. The stock certificate representing such unvested Restricted Shares shall contain the following legend: "The transfer and registration of transfer of the securities represented by this certificate are subject to certain restrictions as provided in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of Date of Grant by and between the Company and Participant." (b) From and after the date upon which a Restricted Share vests, the holder of record of such Restricted Share shall be entitled (provided that the obligation set forth in Section 6 hereof has been satisfied) to receive the stock certificate representing such Restricted Share, which stock certificate shall not contain the legend set forth in subsection (a) above. 8. Voting; Dividends; Adjustments. Participant shall be entitled (provided that the obligation set forth in Section 6 hereof has been satisfied) to exercise all voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares and to receive all regular, quarterly cash dividends paid with respect thereto. In the event that the outstanding securities of any class then comprising the Restricted Shares are increased, decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or a different number or kind of securities, or cash, property and/or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities, in either case as a result of a recapitalization, reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split or the like, then, unless the Company shall determine otherwise, the term "Restricted Shares" shall, from and after the date of such event, include such cash, property and/or securities so distributed in respect of the Restricted Shares, or into or for which the Restricted Shares are so increased, decreased, exchanged or converted. 9.
