Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 2, 2018 (the 2018 Annual Meeting), the stockholders of AptarGroup, Inc. (the Company) approved the Companys 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan), which had been previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board), subject to stockholder approval.
The following paragraphs provide a summary of certain terms of the 2018 Plan. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2018 Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The 2018 Plan was also described in Proposal 3 of the Companys definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2018 in connection with the 2018 Annual Meeting.
The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to promote the long-term financial interests of the Company and its affiliates by (i) attracting and retaining employees, non-employee directors, consultants, independent contractors and agents, (ii) motivating award recipients by means of growth-related incentives, (iii) providing competitive incentive compensation opportunities and (iv) further aligning the interests of award recipients with those of the Companys stockholders. The 2018 Plan will be administered by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board (the Compensation Committee).
Subject to the terms of the 2018 Plan, 950,000 shares of the Companys common stock are authorized for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, non-employee directors, consultants, independent contractors and agents, and persons expected to become employees, non-employee directors, consultants, independent contractors and agents.
The Compensation Committee may amend the 2018 Plan as it deems advisable, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation. No amendment may materially impair the rights of a holder of any outstanding award without his or her consent.
