Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On May 15, 2024, the stockholders of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. 2024 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved the Plan on April 1, 2024, subject to approval by the stockholders. The Plan succeeds the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and is the only plan of the Company pursuant to which stock-based awards are currently granted.
The Plan provides for discretionary awards of stock options, stock, stock units and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to selected employees and non-employee directors.
The material terms of the Plan are as follows: The Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan is 6,200,000. Stock options and SARs granted under the Plan, or granted under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, will reduce the number of available shares by one share for every share subject to the stock option or SAR, and stock awards and stock unit awards granted under the Plan, or granted under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, will reduce the number of available shares by 2.25 shares for every one share delivered. If (i) there is a lapse, forfeiture, expiration, termination or cancellation of any award for any reason under the Plan, or under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, or (ii) shares subject to a stock award or a stock unit award under the Plan, or under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, are delivered or withheld as payment of any withholding taxes, then in each case such shares will again be available for issuance under the Plan, to be added back in the same multiple as described in the preceding sentence. Any shares delivered or withheld as payment for the exercise price of a stock option under the Plan, or the exercise price of a stock option exercised under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, or of any withholding taxes with respect to such stock options or SARs, will not be available for issuance pursuant to subsequent awards. Shares issuable under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The Committee can grant awards under the Plan until May 15, 2034. The Committee can provide that any award granted under the Plan will be subject to the attainment of performance goals.
A more detailed summary of the terms of the Plan appears on pages 26 to 32 of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2024 (the “2024 Proxy Statement”).
A copy of the Plan was included as Annex A to the 2024 Proxy Statement and is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The Committee has adopted forms of award agreements under the Plan for non-employee directors and employees which are filed as Exhibits 10.2 to 10.8 hereto.
