**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

 

References herein to “Energy*Solutions*,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Energy*Solutions*, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.

 

On March 18, 2013, the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “Original Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Pursuant to Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed to amend and restate Part III of the Original Form 10-K to include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K due to the fact that the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be filed with the SEC more than 120 days after the end of its 2012 fiscal year.  In addition, this Amendment No. 1 amends Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Form 10-K to include new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because this Amendment No. 1 includes no financial statements, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 1, no other items in the Original Form 10-K are being amended hereby. The Company has not undertaken any obligation to update or supplement any other items in the Original Form 10-K, including, without limitation, the Company’s consolidated financial statements included therein (the “2012 Financial Statements”), to reflect any events occurring after March 18, 2013 or to modify or update information or disclosures in the Original Form 10-K or the 2012 Financial Statements affected by other subsequent events.

This Amendment No. 1 contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Energy*Solutions* and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (such as statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should be considered forward-looking statements. Among others, the following risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: (i) the risk that the proposed acquisition of Energy*Solutions* pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 7, 2013 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Rockwell Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is an affiliate of Energy Capital Partners II, LLC, Rockwell Acquisition Corp. and the Company, pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions, Rockwell Acquisition Corp will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), may not be consummated in a timely manner, if at all; (ii) the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require Energy*Solutions* to pay Energy Capital Partners Management II, LP or its designee a termination fee of up to $13,600,000, including the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to satisfy certain conditions for completion of the Merger; (iii) risks related to the diversion of management’s attention from Energy*Solutions*’ ongoing business operations; (iv) risks regarding the failure of Energy Capital Partners to obtain the necessary financing to complete the Merger; (v) the effect of the announcement of the acquisition on Energy*Solutions*’ business relationships (including, without limitation, partners and customers), operating results and business generally as well as the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the Merger; (vi) risks related to obtaining the requisite consents to the acquisition, including, without limitation, the timing (including possible delays) and receipt of regulatory approvals from various governmental entities (including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these approvals) and the risk that one or more governmental entities may deny approval; (vii) risks related to the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been, or will be, instituted against Energy*Solutions* related to the Merger Agreement; and (viii) risks related to the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in the subsection entitled “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of the Original Form 10-K. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results and events may differ materially from results and events currently expected by Energy*Solutions*. Energy*Solutions* expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change of expectations with regard thereto or to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances.

**B.    Executive Compensation Overview**

 

***1.******             ******Executive Compensation******Objectives***

 

The primary goal of the Company’s named executive officer compensation program is the same as its goal for operating the Company—to create long-term value for the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s executive compensation programs are designed and implemented to attract a talented, entrepreneurial and creative team of

Table of Contents

 

executive officers, reward the named executive officers for sustained financial and operating performance and leadership excellence, to align their interests with those of its stockholders and to encourage them to remain with the Company for long and productive careers. Each of the Company’s compensation program elements is intended to fulfill one or more of our performance, alignment, recruiting and retention objectives.  In deciding on the type and amount of compensation for each executive, the Company focuses on such executive’s current pay and opportunity to receive future compensation.  The Company combines the compensation program elements for each executive in a manner it believes optimizes the executive’s contribution to the Company.

 

***2.******             ******Key 2012 Highlights***

 

Fiscal 2012 was a period of transition during which the Company faced many challenges. On June 11, 2012, the Company announced changes in its senior leadership team as part of an ongoing effort to increase stockholder value.  On June 10, 2012, the Company accepted the resignation of Val J. Christensen as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company, and of William R. Benz as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.  Effective June 11, 2012, the Board appointed David J. Lockwood as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Greg Wood as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

 

In September 2012, the Company announced a reorganization of the Company’s business groups and divisions. As a result of this reorganization, the Company’s three group presidents were given new titles to reflect the newly created business groups and, in some instances, changes in responsibility. These new titles are reflected in the table above.  The Company, however, continued to report the results of its financial operations for 2012 according to the structure that was in place prior to the September 2012 reorganization. As a result, this Compensation Discussion and Analysis section refers to the Company’s business groups as titled prior to the September 2012 reorganization with the three group presidents’ performance tied to those business groups as follows: John A. Christian as President of the Long-Term Stewardship Group, Mark Morant as President of the Global Commercial Group and Alan Parker as President of the Government Group.

 

In 2012, the Compensation Committee made the following key executive compensation decisions and took the following executive compensation actions for fiscal 2012:

 

·                  *Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentive Compensation*:  The Compensation Committee decided to refine the annual performance-based cash incentive compensation program for the three group presidents by increasing the percentage of their annual performance-based cash incentive compensation based on their respective business group’s Plan EBITDA from 30% to 40% and decreasing the percentage tied to Company Plan EBITDA from 40% to 30%.  This change was designed to further strengthen the relationship between the financial performance of the business groups with the annual performance-based cash incentive compensation received by each of our business group presidents.

 

·                  *Long-Term Incentive Compensation:*

 

·                  *Target Percentage of Long-Term Incentive Compensation*:  In February 2012, the Compensation Committee decided that the 2012 grant of long-term equity-based awards would be determined based on the number of shares issuable pursuant to the equity-based award agreements granted in 2011 rather than on an intended grant value, subject to increases for Messrs. Christian and Parker as discussed below.  The Compensation Committee felt that this approach was appropriate in light of the decline in the Company’s stock price since the March 2011 grant of long-term equity-based awards.  This approach resulted in the named executive officers receiving fewer equity-based grants and lower total target compensation than had the Compensation Committee based the number of grants on achieving a target intended grant value as it had done in 2011.

 

In conjunction with this decision, the Compensation Committee approved the increase of the target long-term incentive compensation as a percentage of base salary for each of Messrs. Christian and Parker from 50% to 100%. These increases were approved to bring Messrs. Christian’s and Parker’s target long-term incentive compensation payout to levels consistent with the other named executive officers.

 

·                  *Accelerated Vesting:* The terms of long-term equity-based incentive awards made to the named executive officers under the 2007 Equity Plan granted prior to 2012 provide for accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options, restricted stock and performance share units in the event of a change of control (*i.e.*, “single-trigger” vesting).  In February 2012, the Compensation Committee determined that beginning in 2012, all long-term equity-based incentive awards granted to the named executive officers would provide for accelerated vesting of long-term equity-based

 

12

Table of Contents

 

incentive awards in the event the named executive officer is terminated without cause or terminates his or her employment for good reason within twenty-four months of a change in control of the Company (*i.e.*, “double-trigger” vesting).

 

·                  *Phantom Performance Share Unit Awards*: As discussed in greater detail below, in connection with the June 2012 change in management, the Compensation Committee decided to change the structure of long-term equity-based incentive awards and created new awards called Phantom Performance Share Unit Awards. The Phantom Performance Share Unit Awards were designed to further align the interests of the executive team with the creation of stockholder value and promote the achievement of key strategic objectives.

 

·                  *Severance Agreements*: In connection with the June 2012 change in management, the Compensation Committee conducted a review of the Company’s standard executive officer severance agreement.  As a result of this review, the Compensation Committee and Board adopted several changes to the severance agreement and entered into the newly adopted agreement with each of Messrs. Lockwood and Wood upon their appointment to office, and entered into amended and restated severance agreements with each of Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker, which replaced and superseded the severance agreements that each of Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker entered into with the Company in 2011. The amended and restated severance agreements did not increase the amounts payable to Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker in the event of a triggering event under the agreements above what Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker were entitled to under the 2011 severance agreements.  See the section titled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control—Executive Severance Agreements” below for a description of the executive severance agreements.

 

***3.******             ******Executive Compensation******Components***

 

The compensation program for the named executive officers for fiscal year 2012 as determined by the Compensation Committee consisted of the following components:

 

·                  base salaries;

 

·                  annual performance-based cash incentive awards pursuant to the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan (the “Executive Bonus Plan”);

 

·                  long-term equity-based incentive awards pursuant to the Energy*Solutions*, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Equity Plan”);

 

·                  benefits and limited perquisites; and

 

·                  severance and change in control benefits.

 

***4.******             ******Peer Group and Benchmarking***

 

In February 2012, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, ClearBridge Compensation Group, reviewed and compared the Company’s executive compensation programs and practices to those of a select company peer group that consisted of 17 companies in related industries that were of similar size to the Company as more fully described in the section titled “The Role of Peer Groups” below.  The Compensation Committee utilized its findings in that review, among other factors, to determine base salary, performance-based cash incentive awards, long-term equity-based incentive awards and overall compensation levels. The Compensation Committee uses the 50th to 75th percentile peer group market data as reference points, but the Compensation Committee does not target a specific percentile positioning of compensation in determining the levels of any of the individual compensation elements or overall compensation.

 

**C.****                                   ****Executive Compensation Program Design**

 

***1.******             ******The Compensation Committee Oversees All Executive Compensation***

 

The Compensation Committee determines all compensation for the named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, whose compensation is recommended by the Compensation Committee and submitted to the Board for approval.

 

The Compensation Committee conducts an annual evaluation of the performance of each named executive officer to determine if any changes in the officer’s compensation are appropriate based on the considerations described below. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in the Compensation Committee’s deliberations or decision with regard to his own compensation. At the Compensation Committee’s request, the Chief Executive

 

13

----

Table of Contents

 

Officer reviews with the Compensation Committee the performance of the other named executive officers and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding their compensation. The Compensation Committee gives considerable weight to the Chief Executive Officer’s evaluation of the other named executive officers and related compensation recommendations because of his direct knowledge of each officer’s performance and contributions. For each officer, the Compensation Committee independently determines any adjustments to base salary and any incentive compensation and whether any equity-based awards should be made based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the officer’s performance as well as the Company’s overall financial performance.

 

***2.******             ******The Compensation Committee Considers Stockholder Input***

 

At the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholder advisory vote on the 2011 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers was approved by 58% of the votes cast on the proposal.  During 2012, the Company engaged in substantial discussions with institutional investors to gather feedback regarding the Company’s executive compensation program.  As a result of these discussions, the results of the stockholder advisory vote and the Company’s ongoing efforts to institute a “pay-for-performance” philosophy, in June 2012 the Compensation Committee adopted changes to the long-term equity compensation component of the executives’ compensation, as described below.  The Compensation Committee plans to continue considering the results of future stockholder advisory votes on the executive compensation program in its decision-making on the executive compensation program.

 

***3.******             ******The Role of Cash Compensation***

 

The Company provides cash compensation to the named executive officers through a combination of base salaries and performance-based cash incentive compensation.

 

***Base Salaries****.*  Base salaries for the named executive officers reflect each named executive officer’s level of experience, responsibilities and expected future contributions to the Company’s success. The Compensation Committee reviews base salaries on an annual basis, or as responsibilities change, and considers factors such as individual and Company performance and the competitive environment in the Company’s industry in determining whether salary adjustments are warranted.  The Compensation Committee believes that base salaries are an important component in achieving the Company’s compensation objectives, but that the most significant portion of each named executive officer’s compensation should be delivered through performance-based incentives.

 

In February 2012, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base salary for each of Messrs. Christensen, Benz, Christian, Morant and Parker and decided to leave such base salaries unchanged.  These base salaries were set between approximately the 50th and 75th percentiles of the base salaries for executive officers in comparable positions in the Company’s peer group.  In connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2012, the Compensation Committee set Mr. Lockwood’s base salary at $750,000 per year, to be consistent with that of the former President and Chief Executive Officer and to be comparable with the compensation of peer group chief executive officers.  Also in June 2012, in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Compensation Committee set Mr. Wood’s base salary at $500,000 per year, which is in approximately the 75th percentile of the base salaries for chief financial officers in the Company’s peer group.  The total base salary paid to each named executive officer during 2012 is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.

 

Further, in order to attract Mr. Wood to join the Company, whom the Board considered to be a key, high-value target to join the Company, the Compensation Committee approved a one-time sign-on bonus for Mr. Wood of $275,000, subject to pro rata repayment in the event of termination for “cause” or without “good reason” within two years (as defined in his severance agreement, described below).

 

***Performance-Based Cash Incentive Compensation***.  The Company provides additional cash compensation to its executives through annual performance-based cash incentive compensation.

 

The Company maintains the Executive Bonus Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  The Executive Bonus Plan permits the Company to award annual performance-based cash compensation to its named executive officers.  The Compensation Committee believes that performance-based cash compensation incentivizes superior performance, rewards achievement of short-term Company and individual goals, aligns the officers’ interests with those of the Company’s stockholders and is an important component of executive compensation.

 

The following is a description of the Company’s performance-based cash incentive compensation program that was approved by the Compensation Committee in March 2012 for the named executive officers who were then

in office.   The Compensation Committee used a modified version of the performance-based cash incentive compensation program with respect to Messrs. Lockwood and Wood following their appointment in June 2012, which is described below under the heading “Performance-Based Cash Compensation for Messrs. Lockwood and Wood.”

 

·                  Payment of performance-based cash compensation is determined based on attainment of specific written performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee, including financial performance goals for the Company or a specific business group and individual business objectives and attainment of safety goals.

 

·                  A large percentage of performance-based cash compensation is tied to the Company’s and/or a specific business group’s financial performance.  If the Company fails to attain a pre-determined threshold level of Plan EBITDA or other applicable financial performance goals during the respective year, the named executive officers do not receive this percentage of performance-based cash compensation.

 

·                  A small percentage of performance-based cash compensation is tied to individual business objectives and safety goals.  If a named executive officer fails to achieve these pre-determined objectives or goals, the named executive officer does not receive the portion of performance-based cash compensation attributable to those objectives or goals for the year.

 

·                  Officers are eligible for above target compensation should the Company exceed its target performance goals. Similarly, officers are eligible for a below target or zero bonus awards should performance fall below target or below the required threshold.  For 2012, the bonus related to safety results for the named executive officers was capped at target.

 

·                  The performance-based cash compensation payable under the Executive Bonus Plan to the named executive officers is interpolated for actual financial, individual business objectives and safety results between threshold and target levels or between target and maximum levels

 

·                  Performance-based cash compensation is designed to be attainable upon exertion of extra effort and hard work.  Accordingly, in any year performance-based cash compensation may not be earned at all or may be earned at less than 100%.  The uncertainty of meeting target goals ensures that any payments under the Executive Bonus Plan are truly performance-based, consistent with the Compensation Committee’s objectives.

 

At the end of the year or the beginning of the following year, the Compensation Committee determines the amount of performance-based cash compensation to be paid to each named executive officer under the Executive Bonus Plan by comparing actual Company financial, individual business objectives and safety results to the year’s pre-determined performance goals. The Compensation Committee may adjust the amount paid to any individual based on the officer’s overall performance or unique events that may have occurred during the year as provided for in the Executive Bonus Plan.  The Executive Bonus Plan does not currently provide for the adjustment or recovery of an award paid to a named executive officer if the results in a previous year are subsequently restated or adjusted in a manner that would have originally resulted in a smaller or larger award, but the Committee intends to provide for such adjustments or award recovery as legislative and stock exchange listing requirements become defined.

 

In February and March 2012, the Compensation Committee established the Company and business group financial performance goals, individual business objectives and safety goals for the 2012 annual performance-based cash compensation for each of the named executive officers then in office.  The following table sets forth the weightings for each component of the 2012 annual performance based-cash compensation for each of the named executive officers:

 
| **Name**           | ** ** | **Company   Plan   EBITDA** | ** ** | **Business   Group   Plan   EBITDA** | ** ** | **Individual   Business   Objectives** | ** ** | **Safety** | ** ** |

(1)         Annual performance-based cash compensation is based on base salary received, rather than base salary earned, during a fiscal year.  Due to the company’s payroll cycle not coinciding with the beginning and ending of each fiscal year, the amount of base salary received in any given year may not equal the amount of base salary earned as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for that year.

 

*Company and Business Group Performance Goals*. As noted above, 70% of each named executive officer’s 2011 annual performance-based cash compensation was tied to the Company’s or a specific business group’s financial performance as measured by Plan EBITDA. The following table sets forth the threshold, target and maximum amounts that each named executive officer could earn in 2012 based on different levels of achievement of the 2012 Company and business group Plan EBITDA performance targets:

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) attributable to the Company plus interest expense (including the effects of interest rate derivative agreements), income taxes, depreciation, impairment charges and amortization.  Plan EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a measure of performance for its executive officer bonus compensation program and represents EBITDA plus or minus certain non-cash and unusual or non-recurring items, as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and is calculated solely for compensation purposes to reflect the Compensation Committee’s view of management’s annual performance.  In March 2013, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s 2012 financial performance and applied its discretion to calculate the Plan EBITDA for the Company and each business group to determine what percentage of this component of the 2012 annual performance-based cash compensation was achieved.  The following table identifies the target and actual 2012 Plan EBITDA for the Company and the individual business groups as determined by the Compensation Committee:

*Individual Business Objectives. *As stated above, 20% of each named executive officer’s 2012 annual performance-based cash compensation was tied to the achievement of individual business objectives.  These individual business objectives are determined by the Compensation Committee and are tied to the strategic objectives of the Company and may not be directly related to the financial results of the Company or of the Company’s individual business groups.  For instance, Mr. Christian had individual business objectives related to cost and schedule goals for the Zion Station project, business unit SG&A expense and business unit safety related goals.  Messrs. Morant’s and Parker’s individual business objectives related to business unit gross profit, SG&A expense and safety related goals.  The business unit safety related goals contained in Messrs. Christian’s, Morant’s and Parker’s individual business objectives are distinct from the safety goals described in the following section.  For 2012, the bonus related to individual business objectives for the named executive officers was capped at target. In March 2013, the Compensation Committee determined the percentage achievement of these objectives by the named executive officers, as set forth in the table below.

 
| **Name **         | ** ** | **Percent Achievement of   Individual Business   Objectives** | ** ** |

(1)         Due to Messrs. Christensen’s and Benz’s resignation in June 2012, the Compensation Committee decided to calculate Messrs. Christensen’s and Benz’s percentage attainment of their 2012 individual business objectives by taking the average of the percentages attained by Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker.

 

*Safety Goals.*  For 2012, 10% of each named executive officer’s 2012 annual performance-based cash compensation was tied to safety goals.  Fifty percent of the safety goals consisted of achieving a target number of management field observations during 2012, as detailed in the chart below, and the other fifty percent consisted of achieving an OSHA Total Recordable Case (TRC) rate of less than 0.6.  Management field observations are in-person site audits to identify any existing or potential safety issues that may be present.

 

The safety goals component of the annual performance-based cash compensation with respect to Messrs. Christensen and Benz was subject to the following adjustments:

 

·                  If the Company’s OSHA TRC rate fell between 1.32 and 0.6, the safety bonus would be reduced on a straight-line interpolation basis, with zero payout if the TRC rate exceeded 1.32 and 100% payout if the TRC rate was 0.6 or less;

 

·                  If the Company had experienced a work-related fatality, the safety bonus would have been forfeited; and

 

·                  If any business group experienced a single regulatory fine of $1,000,000 or more, the safety bonus would have been reduced 33.33% per occurrence.

 

The safety goals component of the annual performance-based cash compensation with respect to Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker was subject to the following adjustments:

 

·                  If the Company’s OSHA TRC rate fell between 1.32 and 0.6, the safety bonus would be reduced on a straight-line interpolation basis, with zero payout if the TRC rate exceeded 1.32 and 100% payout if the TRC rate was 0.6 or less;

 

·                  If the Company had experienced a work-related fatality, the safety bonus would have been forfeited;

 

·                  If an executive’s business group experienced a single regulatory fine of $1,000,000 or more, the safety bonus would have been forfeited for that executive; and

 

·                  If an executive’s business group failed to implement a safety improvement plan for 2012, the safety bonus would have been forfeited for that executive.

The payout of the safety goals component of the annual performance-based cash compensation was capped at 100%, regardless of whether the named executive officer’s exceeded the goals.  The results of the Company’s performance against the 2012 safety goals are set forth in the chart below.

Based upon its review of the Company’s safety performance during 2012, in March 2013 the Compensation Committee determined that each of the named executive officers achieved 100% of the safety goals and would therefore receive all of the 10% of the annual performance—based cash compensation under the Executive Bonus Plan tied to safety goals.

 

*Performance-Based Cash Compensation for Messrs. Lockwood and Wood*. In connection with their appointment to office in June 2012, the Compensation Committee set the target annual performance-based cash compensation for Messrs. Lockwood and Wood at 100% of their respective base salary. For Mr. Lockwood, this placed his target annual performance-based cash compensation amount between the 50th and 75th percentiles of the annual performance-based cash compensation for chief executive officers in the Company’s peer group.  For Mr. Wood, this placed his target annual performance-based cash compensation amount in the 75th percentile of the annual performance-based cash compensation for chief financial officers in the Company’s peer group.

 

Also in connection with their appointment to office, the Board tasked Messrs. Lockwood and Wood with achieving certain defined strategic objectives, which included, among others objectives, stabilizing the Company’s financial condition, exploring strategic alternatives and reducing costs.  In March 2013, the Compensation Committee and Board reviewed Messrs. Lockwood’s and Wood’s performance against these objectives and determined that each of Messrs. Lockwood and Wood had achieved 100% of these objectives and therefore each of Messrs. Lockwood and Wood would receive 100% of their individual target annual performance-based cash incentive compensation.

(1)         Annual performance-based cash compensation is based on base salary received, rather than base salary earned, during a fiscal year.  Due to the company’s payroll cycle not coinciding with the beginning and ending of each fiscal year, the amount of base salary received in any given year may not equal the amount of base salary earned as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for that year.

 

(2)         Because Messrs. Christensen’s and Benz’s employment was terminated during 2012, each of their 2012 annual performance-based compensation was pro-rated based on the number of days worked during 2012.  The percentages and amounts set forth in the columns titled “Actual % of 2012 Base Salary” and “Target 2012 Amount” reflect their pro-rated 2012 base salaries and target 2012 amounts.

 

***4.******             ******The Role of Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards***

 

***Overview.***Long-term equity-based awards align the interests of the named executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders by tying a portion of executive compensation to long-term stock value. The Compensation Committee believes that long-term equity-based incentive awards are the most effective way to attract, retain, and reward a strong executive team.  In order to achieve this alignment and encourage retention, in February 2012 the Compensation Committee approved grants of time-vested restricted stock, time-vested stock options and performance share units to the named executive officers.  The Compensation Committee decided that the 2012 grant of long-term equity-based awards would be determined based on the number of equity-based awards granted in 2011 rather than on an intended grant value, subject to increases for Messrs. Christian and Parker as discussed below.  The Compensation Committee felt that this approach was appropriate in light of the decline in the Company’s stock price since the March 2011 grant of long-term equity-based awards.  This approach resulted in the named executive officers receiving fewer equity-based grants and lower total target compensation than had the Compensation Committee based the number of grants on achieving a target intended grant value as it had done in 2011.  In conjunction with this decision, the Compensation Committee approved the increase of the target long-term incentive compensation as a percentage of base salary for each of Messrs. Christian and Parker from 50% to 100%. These increases were approved to bring Messrs. Christian’s and Parker’s target long-term incentive compensation payout to levels consistent with the other named executive officers. Based on its review of peer group compensation practices and in consultation with ClearBridge Compensation Group, the Compensation Committee determined that an appropriate allocation of long-term equity-based award types for 2012 included approximately 50% of time-vested restricted stock, 25% of time-vested stock options and 25% of performance share units based on the grant-

(1)         The amounts reported in this column reflect the grant date fair value which is the number of shares granted multiplied by the closing stock price on the grant date, which calculation is in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.  See footnote 2 below.

 

(2)         The amounts reported in these columns reflect the aggregate dollar amounts recognized for stock awards and option awards for fiscal year 2012 in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For a discussion of the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate the amounts referred to above, please see the discussion of stock awards and option awards contained in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 14, “Equity-Based Compensation” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

***Time-vested Restricted Stock and Time-vested Stock Options****.* The time-vested restricted stock and time-vested stock options vest in three equal installments beginning on March 1, 2013, subject to the named executive officer’s continued service with the Company.  The exercise price of the time-vested stock options is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant.  Time-vested stock options expire ten years from the date of grant. The grant of time-vested restricted stock and time-vested stock options to the named executive officer aligns the interests of the executives with the long-term value interests of the stockholders because, in the case of time-vested restricted stock awards, the awards increase in value, or in the case of the stock option awards, the awards only have value as the market price of the Company’s stock increases.

 

***Performance Share Units***. The performance share units vest according to the achievement against a three-year cumulative Company Plan EBITDA target that is aligned with the Company’s long-term strategic and financial plans, subject to the named executive officer’s continued service with the Company.  The actual number of performance share units earned may be adjusted downwards to 0% or upwards to 200% of those granted according to the achievement against the three-year cumulative Company Plan EBITDA target.  Upon vesting, each performance share unit converts into one share of the Company’s common stock.  The grant of performance share units aligns the interests of the executives with the long-term value interests of the stockholders because the awards will vest only upon the attainment of the three-year cumulative Company Plan EBITDA target and will increase in value as the market price of the Company’s stock increases.

 

***Phantom Performance Share Units***.  As part of the June 2012 change in management, the Compensation Committee reviewed the long-term equity-based compensation component of the Company’s executive compensation program and decided to replace the standard equity-based grants that were previously part of the compensation program with a new equity award called Phantom Performance Share Unit (“PPSU”) awards.  The new PPSU award is intended to represent a four-year up-front equity-based grant that will further align the interests of the executive team with the creation of stockholder value and promote the achievement of key strategic objectives.

 

The PPSU awards have several features that create strong alignment with the creation of stockholder value:

 

·                  The performance hurdles are set at aggressive levels that require outstanding performance for any units to be earned (*e.g.*, no award earned for less than 25% compound annual total shareholder return (“TSR”));

 

·                  Awards are subject to extended vesting (total of 6 years from grant) which reinforces long-term stockholder alignment; and

Table of Contents

 

·                  Includes a significant purchase and holding requirement by the Chief Executive Officer, as discussed below, in order to further align his interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.

 

The PPSUs are awarded in units, where the value of one unit is equal to the value of one share of the Company’s common stock. The units will be settled in cash under the Executive Bonus Plan, except for the first 1,000,000 units earned by Mr. Lockwood, which will be settled in shares of restricted stock under the 2007 Equity Plan.

 

The PPSUs are earned based on compound annual TSR goals. 50% of the PPSU award is eligible to be earned on the third anniversary of grant based on 3-year compound annual TSR and the remaining portion is eligible to be earned on the fourth anniversary of grant based on 4-year compound annual TSR.

 

The PPSUs are earned according to the following scale, with linear interpolation applied between points:

 

·                  No vesting for compound annual TSR less than 25%;

 

·                  Target number of PPSUs vest for 25% compound annual TSR; and

 

·                  Maximum number of PPSUs vest for 35% or greater compound annual TSR.

 

Given the minimum threshold of 25% compound annual TSR to earn any award, the probability of vesting in the PPSUs is substantially lower than a typical equity award, which achieves the high performance objectives that the Compensation Committee had intended.

 

If and when PPSUs are earned, the units are subject to extended vesting, which reinforces long-term stockholder alignment. Units will vest and be paid in three equal annual tranches beginning on the date they are earned.

 

The Compensation Committee granted a PPSU award to each of Messrs. Lockwood and Wood in connection with their appointment to office in June 2012.  Mr. Lockwood’s PPSU award agreement also included the requirement that he purchase from the Company shares of the Company’s common stock for a total aggregate purchase price of up to $3,000,000, based on the market prices prevailing at the time of purchase, provided that the total number of purchased shares do not exceed 0.99% of the shares of the Company’s common stock in order to comply with NYSE listing requirements.  Mr. Lockwood fulfilled this personal investment obligation in July 2012 by purchasing 884,614 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Also pursuant to his PPSU award agreement, Mr. Lockwood agreed to (i) maintain a net long position in shares of Company common stock he owns personally equal to not less than the number of the shares so purchased and (ii) not effect any short sale, swap or other derivative transaction having the effect of mitigating his risk or exposure to the purchased shares, in each case for at least four years after the date of last purchase, subject to an earlier qualifying termination of Mr. Lockwood’s employment with the Company or under circumstances that require diversification under applicable law.

 

Notwithstanding the equity awards that Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker were granted in February 2012, the Compensation Committee also granted each of these three named executive officers a PPSU award in June 2012 rather than wait until February of the following year to do so, when long-term equity-based incentive grants are typically made.  The Compensation Committee felt that it was in the best interests of the Company to grant each of the three group presidents a PPSU award at that time for retention and incentive purposes because, among other reasons, the drop in the company’s stock price when the Company announced the change in management significantly decreased the value of the February 2012 equity awards the executives received.

 

The following table sets forth the June 2012 PPSU grants made to the named executive officers:

(1)         The amounts reported in this column reflect the grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.  For a discussion of the assumptions and methodologies used to value the stock awards reported in this table, please see the discussion of stock awards contained in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 14, “Equity-Based Compensation” in this Annual Report.

 

(2)         This amount reflects the fair market value at grant date annualized over a 4-year period.

 

The target number of PPSUs awarded to each of the named executive officers was determined by assessing the appropriate level of compensation to align executives with the creation of stockholder value.  The awards were not targeted to a specific percentile of the peer group, but rather were developed considering the total potential value of the PPSU award relative to stockholder value created under various potential scenarios, as well as each individual’s role, impact, and total compensation opportunity.

 

***5.******             ******The Role of Benefits and Perquisites***

 

The named executive officers are eligible to participate in the Company’s health and welfare programs, 401(k) Plan, and other programs offered to employees generally. The named executive officers, other than Messrs. Lockwood and Wood, were also paid an automobile allowance in fiscal 2012.  In connection with the Company’s naming rights to the Energy*Solutions* Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Company obtains season tickets for the Utah Jazz, an NBA franchise team.  The Company generally uses these tickets for business-related entertainment and marketing purposes and for employee recognition. Tickets for individual events that remain unused by the Company for such uses are periodically made available to the named executive officers and other management personnel for personal use. However, as such tickets are obtained for entire seasons rather than individually by event, there is no incremental cost to the Company associated with periodically providing such tickets to the named executive officers for personal use.

 

***6.******             ******Severance and Change in Control Benefits***

 

In 2009, the Compensation Committee determined to move away from written employment agreements with its executive officers in order to maintain flexibility and discretion with respect to management hiring and retention decisions.  Consistent with this position, the Compensation Committee has not offered employment agreements to its named executive officers since that time and it and the Company did not extend its employment agreements with Messrs. Christensen, Christian, Morant and Parker when they expired by their terms.  Instead, the Compensation Committee approved severance agreements for each of the executive officers in order to provide reasonable protection to an executive officer upon a termination of employment or when a change in control could affect his security, authority or compensation.   In connection with the June 2012 change in management, the Compensation Committee conducted a review of the Company’s standard executive officer severance agreement.  As a result of this review, the Compensation Committee and Board adopted several changes to the severance agreement and entered into the newly adopted agreement with Messrs. Lockwood and Wood upon their appointment to office, and with each of Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker, which replaced and superseded the severance agreement that each of Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker entered into with the Company in 2011. The amended and restated severance agreements did not increase the amounts payable to Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker in the event of a triggering event under the agreements above what Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker were entitled to under the 2011 severance agreements.  See the section titled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control—Executive Severance Agreements” below for a description of the executive severance agreements.

 

***7.******             ******The******Role of Consultants***

 

During 2012, the Compensation Committee directly retained the services of ClearBridge Compensation Group, an independent executive compensation consulting firm, on a range of external market factors, including evolving compensation trends, appropriate comparison companies and market survey data.  ClearBridge Compensation Group provides general observations on the Company’s compensation programs, but it does not 

 

22

Table of Contents

 

determine or recommend the amount of compensation for any executives. No member of the Company’s executive management, including any named executive officer has contact or communications with ClearBridge Compensation Group, unless ClearBridge Compensation Group is specifically directed to work with management to ensure support for the Compensation Committee.  ClearBridge Compensation Group has agreed to advise the Chair of the Compensation Committee if any potential conflicts of interest arise that could cause ClearBridge Compensation Group’s independence and loyalty to be questioned, and also agreed not to undertake any projects for the Company’s management except at the request of the Compensation Committee Chair as an agent for the Compensation Committee. During 2012, ClearBridge Compensation Group did not undertake any projects for the Company’s management.

 

***8.******             ******The Role of Peer Groups***

 

The Compensation Committee based its compensation decisions in 2012 on market data received in 2010 and 2011.  This compensation data was provided by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant, ClearBridge Compensation Group.  ClearBridge Compensation Group’s data compared the compensation for the Company’s named executive officers with that of individuals in similar positions at other organizations.

 

The 2012 peer group consists of 17 companies in related industries with similar talent needs and similar size (revenues and/or enterprise value). The 2012 peer group consisted of the same companies that were included in the 2011 peer group.  Statistical analysis was not required to adjust the compensation data of the 2012 peer group to reflect the Company’s size because the 2012 peer group was designed to reflect companies of similar size.

 

The 2012 peer group consisted of the following companies:

 
| Aegion Corporation                 | Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd. |
|------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|                               |                             |
| Babcock &   Wilcox Company     | Quanta Services, Inc.            |
|                               |                             |
| CH2M Hill   Companies, Ltd.        | Shaw Group Inc.                  |
|                               |                             |
| Clean Harbors,   Inc.              | Stericycle, Inc.                 |
|                               |                             |
| Dycom Industries   Inc.            | TetraTech Inc.                   |
|                               |                             |
| Foster Wheeler AG                  | Tutor Perini Corporation         |
|                               |                             |
| Layne Christensen   Company        | US Ecology, Inc.                 |
|                               |                             |
| MasTec Inc.                        | USEC Inc.                        |
|                               |                             |
| Perma-Fix Environmental   Services |                             |

 

The Compensation Committee uses the 50th to 75th percentile peer group market data as reference points, but the Compensation Committee does not target a specific percentile positioning of compensation in determining the levels of any of the individual compensation elements or overall compensation.  The Compensation Committee believes that targeting compensation levels between these percentiles is the appropriate baseline to enable it to attract and retain talented executives who are committed to improving the Company’s performance, while also providing it with the flexibility to increase over time compensation levels to reward exceptional performance and extraordinary efforts in promoting the Company and its success.

 

***9.******             ******Stock Ownership Guidelines***

 

Except as described above with respect to the stock purchase and holding requirement that Mr. Lockwood agreed to in connection with his appointment as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2012, the Company currently does not have formal stock ownership guidelines for its executive officers because the Compensation Committee believes the Company’s current incentive compensation arrangements provide the appropriate alignment of interests between executive officers and the Company’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee will continue to review best practices and evaluate its position with respect to stock ownership guidelines.

 

***10.******      ******Tax and Accounting Considerations***

 

***Tax Deductibility of Compensation Expense****.*  Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that the Company can deduct in any one tax year for certain named executive officers, except for the Chief Financial Officer.  Performance-based compensation that is awarded under a stockholder-approved plan is excluded from this limit. The Compensation Committee generally considers the deductibility of compensation paid to the named executive officers in setting executive compensation levels, but 

 

23

----

Table of Contents

 

does not always restrict named executive compensation to amounts that are fully deductible under Section 162(m).

 

The Compensation Committee believes that the 2012 annual performance-based cash compensation tied to Plan EBITDA performance measures and safety goals qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). Likewise, the 2012 annual performance-based cash compensation tied to individual business objectives for Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker qualify as performance-based cash compensation under Section 162(m).  Because of the discretionary nature of the 2012 annual performance-based cash compensation tied to individual business objectives for Messrs. Lockwood, Wood, Christensen and Benz, the Compensation Committee believes this compensation is discretionary and as such is subject to the Section 162(m) deduction limitation.  Stock option grants and performance share unit awards under the stockholder-approved 2007 Equity Plan are similarly administered and are also believed to qualify as performance-based compensation exempt from the Section 162(m) deduction limitation.  Further, if and when any PPSU awards are earned, the Compensation Committee believes that the cash-settled portion of the PPSU awards qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), while the shares of restricted stock payable to Mr. Lockwood pursuant to his PPSU award will not be deductible under Section 162(m).

 

***Accounting Considerations****.*    The Compensation Committee also considers the accounting and cash flow implications of various forms of executive compensation. In its financial statements, the Company records salaries and performance-based cash compensation as expenses in the amounts paid, or to be paid, to the named executive officers. The accounting expense of long-term equity-based incentive awards to employees is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, *Share-Based Payment*.   The Compensation Committee believes, however, that the many advantages of equity compensation, as discussed above, more than compensate for the non-cash accounting expense associated with them.

**Pension Benefits**

 

The Company maintains a section within the Civil Nuclear Pension Plan (“CNPP”) for the benefit of some its U.K. employees. Mr. Morant actively participated in this plan until February 16, 2011, when he relocated to the U.S.  Since that time, Mr. Morant has been an inactive participant in the CNPP. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the accrued pension plan benefits under the CNPP for Mr. Morant for the year ended December 31, 2012:

(1)         This amount represents the present value of the accumulated benefit as of December 31, 2012, computed with the same actuarial assumptions as those used for the Company’s 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and assuming Mr. Morant retires at age 60, which is the earliest age when participants may retire without any benefit reduction due to age. See Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for a more detailed discussion of these assumptions.

(2)         Mr. Morant ceased to be an active member of the pension scheme effective February 16, 2011 upon his relocation to the U.S.  Mr. Morant does, however, retain the benefits he accrued up until that date as a deferred pensioner of the scheme. The pension scheme provides Mr. Morant with a monthly pension benefit following his separation for services at or after attaining age 60 or reduced pension following his separation from service prior to age 60. Subject to certain offsets, the normal retirement benefit under the plan is an annuity that will provide an annual payment to Mr. Morant equal to 1/80 times his pensionable final earnings for every year of pensionable service.  In addition, at the normal pension retirement age of 60 years old, Mr. Morant will receive a lump payment calculated as 3/80 times his pensionable final earnings.

 

(3)         Converted from sterling pounds based on the annual average sterling pound exchange rate for 2012.

 

**Nonqualified Deferred Compensation**

 

Except as described under “Pension Benefits” above, in the year ended December 31, 2012, our named executive officers received no nonqualified deferred compensation and had no deferred compensation balances.

*Executive Severance Agreements*

 

In connection with the June 2012 change in management, the Compensation Committee conducted a review of the Company’s standard executive officer severance agreement.  As a result of this review, the Compensation Committee and Board adopted several changes to the severance agreement and entered into the newly adopted agreement with each of Messrs. Lockwood and Wood upon their appointment to office, and entered into amended and restated severance agreements with each of Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker, which replaced and superseded the severance agreements that each of Messrs. Christian, Morant and Parker entered into with the Company in 2011.

 

Each executive severance agreement provides that if an executive officer’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without “cause” or by the executive officer for “good reason,” within two years of a “change in control,” or (ii) by the Company without “cause” or by the executive officer for “good reason,” then the executive officer shall be entitled to the following severance payments and benefits:

 

·                  all accrued obligations, including all earned or accrued and unpaid base salary, expense reimbursements and other benefits due to the named executive officer under any Company-provided plan, program or arrangement;

 

34

----

Table of Contents

 

·                  a pro-rata payment of the named executive officer’s (i) target bonus amount if the termination follows a “change in control”, or (ii) actual bonus amount if the termination does not follow a “change in control,” in each case payable under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan for the then-current year;

·                  severance pay equal to the named executive officer’s then current monthly base salary plus the then current target bonus, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular pay schedule, for 18 months from the date of termination (24 months from the date of the termination in the case of Messrs. Lockwood and Wood);

·                  an amount equal to the cost of maintaining medical, dental, disability and life insurance coverage for the executive, his spouse and eligible dependents for the severance period, or, if earlier, until the executive has become eligible for comparable benefits from a new employer; and

·                  professional outplacement services for up to one year following the date of termination, up to a maximum of $50,000.

 

In the event the named executive officer’s employment is terminated by reason of the named executive officer’s permanent disability, the named executive officer shall be entitled to receive the same benefits above, except for severance pay and professional outplacement services.  In the event the named executive officer’s employment is terminated by reason of the named executive officer’s death, the named executive officer’s heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives shall be entitled to receive all accrued obligations and the named executive officer’s pro-rata bonus. If the named executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company for “cause” or if the named executive officer voluntarily terminates his employment, the named executive officer shall only be entitled to receive payment of all accrued obligations.

 

In addition to the severance payments and benefits described above, Mr. Morant’s executive severance agreement entitles him to receive reimbursement for the cost of relocating back to the United Kingdom in the event he and/or his family relocate within two years following the termination of his employment.

 

In the event the total severance payments due to an executive officer would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the severance payments will be cut back to the amount that would result in no such tax being imposed, if such reduction would result in a greater after-tax benefit to the executive officer. The payments included in the table above do not reflect the value of any such potential cutback.

 

A named executive officer’s receipt of severance payments or benefits pursuant to an executive severance agreement is subject to the named executive officer signing and complying with a general release agreement that contains a general release of claims against the Company and non-solicit, non-disparagement, non-compete and non-disclosure provisions.

 

Each executive severance agreement has an initial term lasting until December 31, 2014 and automatically extends for successive one-year periods, unless the Company provides one-year written notice to the named executive officer that the term of the executive severance agreement will not be extended.  Further, an executive severance agreement may not be terminated for at least two years following a “change in control.”

 

The terms “cause,” “change in control” and “good reason” are defined the same in each agreement and can be reviewed in the form of executive severance agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

*Equity Award Agreements*

 

The terms of equity awards made to the named executive officers under the 2007 Equity Plan granted prior to 2012 provide for accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options, restricted stock and performance share units in the event of a “change of control” (i.e., “single-trigger” vesting).  In February 2012, the Compensation Committee determined that beginning in 2012, all equity awards granted to the named executive officers would provide for accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event the named executive officer is terminated without “cause” or voluntary terminates his or her employment for “good reason” within twenty-four months of a “change of control” of the Company (i.e., “double-trigger” vesting). The terms “cause,” “change of control” and “good reason” are defined in the equity award agreements.

**DIRECTOR COMPENSATION**

 

The Company uses a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve as “non-management directors.”   Non-management directors are those directors who are not executive officers of the Company or its affiliates. During 2012, Messrs. Beasley, Colombani, Everest, Rogel, Whitman and Winder and Ms. Spottiswoode were non-management directors of the Company.  Mr. Lockwood was also a non-management director of the Company until his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2012.  In setting compensation for non-management directors, the Company considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company as well as the skill level required of directors of the Company.

 

In the case of directors who are executive officers for the Company or its affiliates, the Company provides no additional compensation for such director services.  In 2012, Mr. Christensen, until his resignation in June 2012, and Mr. Lockwood, following his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2012, were executive officers of the Company and, therefore, did not receive any compensation for their service as directors of the Company during that time.

 

The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of non-management director compensation and recommends any changes to the Board for the Board’s consideration. The compensation program for non-management directors is designed to achieve the following goals: compensation should fairly pay directors for work required for a company of Energy*Solutions*’ size and scope; compensation should align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and the structure of the compensation should be simple, transparent and easy for stockholders to understand. The Company’s compensation program for its non-management directors is comprised of the following compensation elements:

 

**Cash Compensation**

 

Each non-management director receives an annual cash compensation retainer of $55,000, payable quarterly, which constitutes full compensation for six Board meetings per year. In addition, each non-management director is paid cash compensation of $1,250 for each Board meeting after the sixth Board meeting of the year, $1,250 for each committee meeting attended on which he or she is appointed to serve, and an additional $2,000 for each Board meeting for which the director is required to travel across an ocean.  The Board Chairman is paid additional annual cash compensation of $72,000, payable quarterly, for his service as Chairman and each committee chair is paid additional annual cash compensation of $10,000, payable quarterly, for his or her service as a committee chair.

 

**Equity Compensation**

 

Upon election to the Board and re-election to the Board at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders each year thereafter for so long as the director continues to serve, each non-management director is granted fully-vested shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of $75,000 on the grant date (calculated as the average closing share price for the 30 days prior to the grant date).

**Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners**

 

The following table sets forth information as of April 15, 2013, regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each of our named executive officers and directors, (ii) all executive officers and directors as a group, and (iii) each entity or person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our common stock.  The percentage ownership is based on 91,052,385 shares of common stock outstanding (net of treasury shares and non-voting restricted stock) at April 15, 2013. Shares of common stock that are subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2013 are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes following the table, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

**Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.**

 

**Director Independence**

 

Due to the Company’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the Company is required to comply with the requirements of the NYSE Listing Rules with respect to our Board consisting of a majority of “independent directors” and the related rules covering the independence of directors serving on the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  In March and April 2012, the Board affirmatively determined that J. Barnie Beasley, Jr., Pascal Colombani, J.I. “Chip” Everest, II, Steven R. Rogel, Robert A. Whitman and David B. Winder qualify as independent directors. The Board also affirmatively determined that David J. Lockwood qualified as an independent director until his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2012.  Clare Spottiswoode is considered not independent due to her service as Chair of Energy*Solutions* EU Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company based in the United Kingdom.  Val J. Christensen was considered not independent, until his resignation as a director in June 2012.The Board has established guidelines to assist in determining director independence, which conform to the independence requirements in the NYSE Listing Rules. Our independence guidelines are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Principles.  Our independent directors meet our independence guidelines.  All members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent directors.

 

**Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions**

 

Our Audit Committee reviews and approves or ratifies all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants (other than compensation transactions approved by the Compensation Committee). Our legal staff is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from our directors and executive officers with respect to related party transactions and for determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction with us.

 

39

----

Table of Contents

 

In the course of its review and approval or ratification of a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will consider the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the material terms of the transaction, including, without limitation, the amount and type of transaction; the importance of the transaction to the related person; the importance of the transaction to us; whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company; and any other matters the Audit Committee deems appropriate.

 

Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review is not permitted to participate in the deliberations or vote with respect to approval or ratification of the transaction. However, such director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the committee that considers the transaction.

 

The policies and procedures for review, approval or ratification of related party transactions are set forth in the Audit Committee Charter.

 

**Related Party Transactions**

 

Clare Spottiswoode, a member of the Company’s Board, has served as Chair of Energy*Solutions* EU Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company based in the United Kingdom, since January 2010. Pursuant to her Letter of Appointment, dated as of December 18, 2009, Ms. Spottiswoode is paid an annual fee of £150,000 for her service as Chair. Also, as required by his employment arrangement, on July 26, 2012, Mr. Lockwood purchased 884,614 shares of common stock from the Company through his account in the Company’s 401(k) plan at a price of $1.69 per share. Both of these transactions were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the procedures cited above.
