LSI INDUSTRIES INC.

 

EXECUTIVE OFFICER FY21

 

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

 

Effective: August 19, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

LSI INDUSTRIES INC. 

FY21 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Effective: August 19, 2020

 

 

 

The LSI Industries Inc. (Company) 2019 Omnibus Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee) to issue share-based incentive awards to Company Executives. The Fiscal Year 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) provides for grants to the Named Executive Officers (NEOs), and other employees of the Company designated by the Compensation Committee and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The employees receiving grants are collectively referred to as the “Employees”.

 

The LTIP has been approved by the Compensation Committee as a retention tool to encourage Employees to maintain long-term employment with the Company. The LTIP provides for the issuance of three types of share-based awards: stock options, performance stock units and restricted stock units. All LTIP awards are granted effective the close of business on August 19, 2020 and at such other times and in such other manner as may be approved or authorized by the Compensation Committee.

 

	 	
			1.

				
			Stock Options. The Company may grant time-based stock option (Stock Options) awards to Employees. Stock Option awards have a ten-year exercise term; a three-year ratable vesting period; and a stated and fixed exercise price set by the Compensation Committee as the closing price of a share of Company common stock on the date of the grant. The form of Stock Option Agreement is set forth as Exhibit “1” hereto.

			

 

	 	
			2.

				
			Performance Stock Units. The Company may grant performance stock units (PSUs) to the Employees. The vesting of such PSUs is subject to the achievement of designated metrics for Return on Net Assets (RONA) and cumulative Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EDITDA) at the completion of the three-year performance cycle concluding on June 30, 2023 (FY23). The LTIP sets for a threshold (or minimum), target and maximum goals to be achieved in FY23 for each metric. If the threshold amount is not achieved for any performance metric, there shall be no payout under such metric. The grant made to the employee is the target number of PSUs. The actual number of PSUs at vesting may stretch to a greater amount than the target amount if greater than target performance is achieved; and may be less than the target number of PSUs if less than target performance is achieved. RONA achievement accounts for 50% of the vesting of the PSUs and Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA accounts for 50% of the vesting of the PSUs. The PSUs shall cliff vest at the completion of FY23 if the FY23 threshold, target or maximum is met pursuant to the matrix set forth in Section 2.1 below. The form of PSU Award Agreement is set forth as Exhibit “2” hereto.

The form of RSU Award Agreement is set forth as Exhibit “5” hereto.

			
	 	 	 
	 	4.	General Terms and Conditions. The following provisions apply to the LTIP:

 

	 	
			A.

			C.

				
			CEO Pool. The Compensation Committee hereby approves an additional pool of any combination of 3,000 Stock Options, RSUs and PSUs for grant by the CEO in FY21 to employees not previously receiving a LTIP award from the Compensation Committee. The pool awards have been set aside for grant to new employees and employees whom in the discretion of the CEO are deemed to merit an award. The employees receiving a grant from the pool, and the amount of the pool awards shall be within the discretion of the CEO.

			

 

	 	
			D.

				
			Definitions.

			

 

	 	
			1.

				
			“Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as the Company’s cumulative consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses as adjusted for certain unusual or non-recurring items for the period commencing July1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2023. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA will be as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for FY23 and as approved by the Compensation Committee.

			

 

	 	
			2.

				
			“RONA” is defined as the Company’s consolidated Adjusted Net Income as percent of Net Assets, which derived by dividing Adjusted Net Income by Net Assets. For purposes of this definition, “Adjusted Net Income” is defined as non-GAAP Net Income which is developed and reported to the Company’s Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

			Except to the extent provided in a grant agreement, LTIP participants must be continuously employed by the Company on (i) the specified award vesting for Stock Options and RSUs and (ii) the date designated for payout of the PSUs, in order to vest in such award or portion of such award. The Company will make the distribution of the PSUs awards to participants as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the award determination by the Compensation Committee.

			G.

				
			If a grantee Retires, or becomes disabled (as defined by Social Security) or deceased during the plan period, the Compensation Committee may consider a pro-rated award based to the grantee or the grantee’s beneficiary, as the case may be, upon the actual amount of base salary received during the plan period, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2019 Omnibus Plan.

			

 

	 	
			H.

			J.

				
			In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, the Compensation Committee shall require reimbursement to the Company of the PSUs granted hereunder where: (i) the payment was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a substantial restatement of the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC; (ii) the Compensation Committee determines the grantee engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or substantially caused the need for the accounting restatement; and (iii) a lower payment would have been made to such officer based upon the restated financial results. In each such instance, the Company will, to the extent practicable, seek to recover from the officer the amount by which any performance-based awards paid to such officer for the relevant period exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results.

			

 

	 	
			K.

				
			In the event and to the extent Company common shares are issued pursuant to awards granted under the LTIP, each grantee who was a Named Executive Officer on the grant date and receives such Company common shares is required to retain for one year 100% of net after tax shares received upon exercise of the stock options or vesting of RSUs and PSUs, as the case may be.

			H.

				
			The STIP does not create or imply the existence of a contract of employment.
