Equity-Based Compensation


On and after May 19, 2021, non-employee directors will receive grants of restricted stock which will vest on May 1, of the year following the grant date, pursuant to the terms of the Continental Resources, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The number of shares granted is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The targeted grant value for annual non-employee director restricted stock grants is $212,500. The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted a common stock ownership requirement for non-employee directors. Each non-employee director is expected to own shares of the Company’s common stock with a market value equal to at least five times the base annual retainer. Until the common stock ownership guideline is achieved, each non-employee director is expected to retain 100% of the shares received as a result of restricted shares granted under the 2013 Plan and/or the Continental Resources, Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the predecessor to the 2013 Plan). Shares owned directly by, or held in trust for, the non-employee director or his or her immediate family members residing in the same household and unvested restricted shares are included in the calculation of market value.
