Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously announced, Mr. Gerald S. Armstrong and Mr. Mitchell M. Leidner did not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of EverBank Financial Corp (the “Company”) at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 19, 2016, and the authorized number of directors was reduced from 13 to 11 members.
As described in the Company’s proxy statement dated April 6, 2016 (the “Proxy Statement”), on March 29, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved awards of performance units to the Company’s named executive officers, which awards were contingent upon receipt of approval of Proposal 4 by the Company's stockholders. At the 2016 Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved Proposal 4; accordingly, each of Messrs. Clements, Wilson, Surface, Fischer and Ervin will receive a target number of performance units (45,968, 42,432, 13,260, 13,260, and 8,840, respectively)(the "Performance Units"). The executive officers may earn between 0% and 200% of their target number of Performance Units based on the achievement of goals related to total shareholder return over three one-year performance periods, with an opportunity for full vesting based on three-year performance. The Performance Units were granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, and are subject to the terms and conditions of such plan, as well as the award agreements evidencing the grants. The agreement provides that in the event of the executive’s termination of employment without cause or by the executive for good reason prior to the conclusion of the three-year performance period, then the executive officer may earn a prorated number of Performance Units based on actual performance as of the end of the three-year Performance Period (and subtracting therefrom any previously vested Performance Units). In addition, the agreement provides that in the event of a change in control prior to the conclusion of the three-year performance period, a number of Performance Units will convert to time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) on the effective date of the change in control, provided that the executive officer remains continuously employed by the Company from the grant date to the effective date of the change in control. The number of Performance Units that convert to RSUs will be determined based on actual performance as of the effective date of the change in control, and will not be less than the target award and will not be more than the maximum award (subtracting therefrom any previously vested Performance Units).
The description of this grant is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the award agreement for this grant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
