On February 21, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Massey Energy Company (the “Registrant”) approved, and on February 22, 2005, the Board ratified and authorized for execution Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement effective as of November 1, 2001 (the “Current Employment Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, a Delaware corporation, A.T. Massey Coal Company, Inc., a Virginia corporation and the sole direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“Massey”), and Don L. Blankenship, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of both the Registrant and Massey. The parties to the Current Employment Agreement executed the Amendment on February 22, 2005 with an effective date of May 1, 2005. The Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The Current Employment Agreement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002.

 

The Amendment extends the term of the Current Employment Agreement, which was set to expire on April 30, 2005, for an additional eight months (the “Extension Period”) to coincide with the Registrant’s fiscal year. The material terms and conditions of the Amendment are as follows: (i) a base salary of $83,333 per month; (ii) an extension incentive bonus target of $600,000 based on specified business performance measures for fiscal year 2005, including earnings before interest and taxes, produced tons, earnings per share, net coal sales and company safety objectives, as well as strategic objectives such as successorship plans for key executive positions, employee retention and employee diversity; (iii) a long term incentive award which includes a $200,000 target cash award based on the Registrant’s earnings before interests and taxes for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, 33,333 non-qualified stock options, 8,467 shares of restricted stock and a cash bonus award equal to the fair market value of 4,867 shares of the Registrant’s common stock; (iv) a deferred incentive bonus equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the average of the high and low trading prices of the Registrant’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 30, 2005, by (b) 266,667; (v) a grant of 150,000 stock appreciation rights; (vi) a retention cash award of $266,667; and (vii) the premium payments on a $4,000,000 split dollar life insurance policy.

 

In the event that Mr. Blankenship’s employment with the Registrant and/or Massey terminates during and prior to the end of the Extension Period for any reason other than for Cause (as such term is defined in the Current Employment Agreement), then the Registrant and/or Massey shall pay to Mr. Blankenship, or if Mr. Blankenship is deceased, to his estate, 2.5 times the sum of Mr. Blankenship’s annual base salary of $1,000,000 plus his extension incentive bonus of $600,000, unless Mr. Blankenship elects to terminate his employment voluntarily during and prior to the end of the Extension Period other than for good reason (i.e., relocation, reduction in base salary or other compensation, material reduction in scope of responsibilities, or significant reduction in authority). In the event that Mr. Blankenship’s employment with the Registrant and/or Massey terminates during and prior to the end of the Extension Period for any reason, all of Mr. Blankenship’s rights with respect to the deferred incentive bonus, stock appreciation rights, and retention cash award, as set forth in items (iv) through (vi) in the preceding paragraph, shall terminate and all rights thereunder shall cease, and payment of the life insurance premiums as set forth in item (vii) in the preceding paragraph shall cease.

The business performance metrics included earnings before interest and taxes, produced tons, earnings per share, net coal sales and company safety goals. The strategic objectives included successorship plans for key executives, employee retention and employee diversity.

ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER TERMINATION OF SERVICE

 

6.01. ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. Distribution of a Participant’s vested Accrual Accounts shall be made as follows.

 

(a) Except as expressly provided elsewhere in the Plan, no distributions from the Plan to a Participant shall be made until the Participant’s Termination of Service.

 

(b) In the event of the death of a Participant prior to or after commencement of any payments hereunder, payments of the Participant’s remaining entitlement under the Plan shall be made to his Beneficiary. Any payment election for payment in installments shall continue to be effective.

 

(c) All distributions from the Plan shall be made in a lump sum in cash except to the extent a Participant, with the consent of the Committee, has elected a specified installment payment period for any 409A Funds. Any such election of a specified installment payment period for any 409A Funds must be filed prior to calendar year in which begins the service period with respect to which the Company contribution to which such 409A Funds are attributable relates or, if later, any election deadline permitted under Code Section 409A for such 409A Funds which the Committee permits to be utilized in the administration of the Plan (including without limitation the December 31, 2005 payment election deadline of Question and Answer 19(c) of IRS Notice 2005-1 and the deadline of six months prior to the end of the performance period for a bonus or incentive pay which is payable for a period commencing after 2004, which is performance-based compensation, is based on services performed over a period of at least twelve months (within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii)). Any such payment date election therefor may not be modified or revoked by the Participant after the latest time for making the election. If any distributions from the Plan are to be paid in installments, they shall be paid in a specified number (not to exceed twenty) of annual installments. If any distributions from the Plan are to be paid in installments, they shall continue to be subject to Earnings Adjustments pursuant to Article V hereof.

 

(d) The lump sum payment and the first installment payment, if any, shall be paid in January of the calendar year following the calendar year of a Participant’s Termination of

 

- 7 -


Service, provided, however, that (i) if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs on December 31 and the Participant is then a “covered employee” (as defined for purposes of Code Section 162(m)(3)), no payment of that portion of any account balance which vests in the calendar year in which his Termination of Service occurs shall be made, or commence to be made, to the Participant until March 20 following the calendar year of the Participant’s Termination of Service and (ii) no payment of 409A Funds shall be made, or commence to be made, earlier than the earliest time of payment permitted under Code Section 409A coinciding with or following the Participant’s Termination of Service (including without limitation deferral of payment until six months after separation from service in the event the Participant is a key employee of a publicly traded employer).

 

(e) To the extent a Participant’s entitlement is paid in installments, the second installment payment shall be paid during January of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the first installment was paid and all remaining installments will be paid annually in the month of January.

 

(f) If Plan Earnings Adjustments are not determined on a daily valuation basis, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any lump sum or installment payment shall be made in an initial payment and a true-up payment by paying 90% of the previous month end (or other time of valuation hereunder) balance at the designated payment date and then making a second payment truing up the payment which shall include both the remaining 10% plus an Earnings Adjustment for the month (or partial portion of the month if paid earlier than the end of the month) of the initial 90% payment, which second payment shall be made during the month following the month of the initial payment. The Committee may change the 90% and 10% figures in order to anticipate substantial fluctuations in Earnings Adjustments.

 

ARTICLE VII

7.01. CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other Section hereof, if a Participant’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than death, within the two-year period beginning on the date that a Change of Control of the Company occurs, then the Company shall pay to the Participant within the first fifteen days of the month following such termination a lump sum distribution in cash of all of his Accrual Accounts. If the Participant dies after termination of employment but before payment of any amount under this Section, then such amount shall be paid to the Beneficiary within the first fifteen days of the month following the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any 409A Funds, payment thereof shall not be made earlier than the earliest time of payment permitted under Code Section 409A. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to any Non-409A Funds to which this withdrawal right was not available on October 3, 2004.

 

7.02. UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY.

 

(a) With the consent of the Committee, a distribution of a portion of a Participant’s vested Accrual Accounts because of an Unforeseeable Emergency will be permitted only to the extent required by the Participant to satisfy the emergency need plus, in the case of a withdrawal of 409A Funds if approved by the Committee, amounts necessary to pay taxes

 

- 8 -


reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. Whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred will be determined solely by the Committee. Distributions in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency may be made by and with the approval of the Committee upon written request by the Participant.

 

(b) An “Unforeseeable Emergency” is defined as a severe financial hardship to the Participant caused by sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent of the Participant (as defined in Code Section 152(a)), loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances caused by a result of events beyond the Participant’s control. The circumstances that will constitute an unforeseeable emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any event, any distribution under this Section shall not exceed the amount required by the Participant to resolve the hardship after (i) reimbursement or compensation through insurance or otherwise or (ii) obtaining liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause a severe financial hardship.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to any Non-409A Funds to which this withdrawal right was not available on October 3, 2004.

If the Participant makes an election described in this Section 7.03 the balance of the Participant’s Non-409A Funds not distributed to the Participant shall be forfeited to the Company; the amount to which he is entitled under this Section 7.03 shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practical following such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to any Non-409A Funds to which this withdrawal right was not available on October 3, 2004.

 

7.04. WITHDRAWALS OF 409A FUNDS. With the consent of the Committee prior to a Participant’s making a payment date election, the Participant may elect a specified payment date for any vested 409A Funds in his Other Account(s). Any such election of a specified payment date must be filed prior to calendar year in which begins the service period with respect to which the Company contribution to which such 409A Funds are attributable relates or, if later, any election deadline permitted under Code Section 409A for such 409A Funds which the Committee permits to be utilized in the administration of the Plan (including without limitation the December 31, 2005 payment election deadline of Question and Answer 19(c) of IRS Notice 2005-1 and the deadline of six months prior to the end of the performance period for a bonus or incentive pay which is payable for a period commencing after 2004, which is performance-based compensation, is based on services performed over a period of at least twelve months (within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii)). Any such payment date election therefor may not be modified or revoked by the Participant after the latest time for making the election. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service prior to the specified payment date, the payment date election shall be automatically revoked and the payment of the Participant’s Plan benefit shall be made as provided in Article VI.

Neither a Participant nor his Beneficiary shall have any power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any part or all of the amounts payable hereunder, which are expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable.

No amount payable hereunder shall, prior to actual payment thereof, be subject to seizure by any creditor of any Participant or Beneficiary for the payment of debt, judgment or other obligation, by a proceeding at law or in equity, nor transferable by operation of law in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or death of the Participant, his designated Beneficiary or any other beneficiary hereunder.

Notwithstanding the above, the Committee shall have the authority to change the requirements of eligibility or to modify the Investment Options hereunder. Except as provided in Section 8.12, no amendment of the Plan shall materially impair or curtail the Company’s contractual obligations arising from elections previously made or for benefits accrued prior to such amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary other than prohibitions on impermissible distributions of 409A Funds under Code Section 409A, in the event of Plan termination, payment of Accrual Accounts shall occur not later than the last business day of the month following the month in which the termination is made effective.

 

8.04. CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT. This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and any Participant.

8.05. RESPONSIBILITY FOR LEGAL EFFECT. Neither the Committee nor the Company makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, or assumes any responsibility concerning the legal, tax or other implications or effects of the Plan.

8.12. NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN OMNIBUS PROVISION.

 

It is intended that any compensation, benefits or other remuneration which is provided pursuant to or in connection with the Plan which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. The Committee is authorized to amend the Plan or any election under the Plan as may be determined by it to be necessary or appropriate to evidence or further evidence required compliance with Code Section 409A.

 

It is specifically intended that all elections, consents and modifications thereto under the Plan will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder).

A.T. MASSEY COAL COMPANY, INC.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

(Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005)

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Board of Directors of A.T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. adopted the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan effective August 1, 1995. The Board determined that the adoption of the Plan would assist it in attracting and retaining those employees whose judgment, abilities and experience will contribute to its continued progress. The purpose of the Plan is to permit eligible employees to defer a portion of their salary, bonus and incentive awards and to provide a benefit for these employees whose benefits under the Company’s Profit Sharing Plan are limited by the application of certain limitation provisions of the Code. Eligible Employees are selected by the Committee to participate in the Plan.

 

The Plan is intended to be unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” (as such phrase is used in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974).

ARTICLE V

BENEFITS

 

5.01. Accounts

 

(a) Deferred Benefit Account. Deferred Benefits shall be credited to a Deferred Account as of the last day of the payroll period in which the deferred Salary would have been paid and with respect to any Bonus or Incentive Award, as of the date such award is payable to the Eligible Employee. Interest shall accrue monthly on the balance in a Deferred Account as described in Article VI.

 

(b) Excess Benefit Account. Excess Benefits shall be credited to an Excess Benefit Account as of the time specified in Article III. Interest shall accrue monthly on the balance in a Excess Benefit Account as described in Article VI.

 

5.02. Distributions

 

(a) All Deferred Benefits and Excess Benefits, less withholding for applicable income and employment taxes, shall be paid in cash on the date specified in the Participant’s applicable Election Form or if not specified following the Participant’s Termination.

 

(b) Deferred Benefits and Excess Benefits shall be paid in a lump sum unless the Participant’s applicable Election Form specifies annual installment payments over a period of up to twenty years. Installment payments will be made in approximately equal amounts during each year of the installment period. For a Deferred Benefit or an Excess Benefit payable in installments, interest under Article VI shall continue to accrue on the unpaid balance of a Deferred Account or Excess Benefit Account, as applicable.

 

Unless otherwise specified in a Participant’s applicable Election Form, any lump sum payment shall be paid or installment payments shall begin January 31 of the year after the Participant’s Termination, provided, however, that no payment of 409A Funds shall be made, or commence to be made, earlier than the earliest time of payment permitted under Code Section 409A coinciding with or following the Participant’s Termination (including without limitation deferral of payment until six months after separation from service in the event the Participant is a key employee of a publicly traded employer).

 

Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, any form of payment election for Salary deferrals shall also apply to a Participant’s Excess Benefit. Otherwise, the time for filing a form

A.T. MASSEY COAL COMPANY, INC.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

(Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005)

 

of payment election for a Participant’s Excess Benefit attributable to a year is the same as for filing a Salary deferral election for that same year, provided, however, that the Committee may permit a specified deferral period election to be made for a Participant’s Excess Benefit consisting of any 409A Funds not later than December 31, 2005 pursuant to transition rules under Code Section 409A. This rule may be applied for separate years or portions of a Participant’s Excess Benefit Account on such basis as it determines.

 

Any specified form of payment may not be modified or revoked by the Participant after the latest time for making the deferral election in question. The Committee may permit separate form of payment elections for separate years or deferrals on such basis as it determines.

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or a Participant’s Election Form, the Committee in its sole discretion for a Participant’s Non-409A Funds may postpone, and the Committee shall for a Participant’s 409A Funds postpone, the distribution of all or part of a Deferred Benefit or Excess Benefit to the extent that the payment would not be deductible under Code Section 162(m). A Deferred Benefit of Excess Benefit distribution that is postponed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid as soon as it is possible to do so within the deduction limitations of Code Section 162(m).

 

(d) A Participant or Beneficiary may not assign Deferred Benefits or Excess Benefits. Only one Beneficiary designation form may be effective at any one time to designate one or more Beneficiaries for all of his Deferred Benefits or Excess Benefits under the Plan. Such designations are revocable. Each Beneficiary shall receive his portion of the Participant’s Deferred Account and the Participant’s Excess Benefit Account, as applicable, on January 31 of the year following the Participant’s death. The Committee may insist that multiple Beneficiaries agree upon a single distribution method.

 

(e) If Plan interest adjustments are not determined on a daily valuation basis, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any lump sum or installment payment shall be made in an initial payment and a true-up payment by paying 90% of the previous month end (or other time of valuation hereunder) balance at the designated payment date and then making a second payment truing up the payment which shall include both the remaining 10% plus an interest adjustment for the month (or partial portion of the month if paid earlier than the end of the month) of the initial 90% payment, which second payment shall be made during the month following the month of the initial payment. The Committee may change the 90% and 10% figures in order to anticipate substantial fluctuations in interest adjustments.

(Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005)

 

6.02. Election of Investment Options

 

(a) At the time that an Eligible Employee first becomes a Participant, the Participant shall allocate deferrals and accounts among the Investment Options. Such Investment Options will be used as a measure of the investment performance of his Deferred Account and his Excess Benefit Account, if applicable. A Participant may specify that all or any 10% multiple of his Deferred Account and his Excess Benefit Account, if applicable, be deemed to be invested in one or more of the Investment Options.

 

(b) A Participant may reallocate the Investment Options for his Deferred Account and his Excess Benefit Account once every six months (or more frequently as the Committee may permit) in 10% multiples (or such other multiple or a specified dollar amount as the Committee may permit). Any reallocation will be effective as of the first day of the calendar month (or such more frequent period as the Committee may provide) following the date on which an appropriately completed election form is received by the Committee. Until a Participant delivers a new Investment Option form to the Committee (or its delegate), his prior Investment Options shall control. If a Participant fails to select an Investment Option for his Deferred Account and his Excess Benefit Account, he shall be deemed to have elected the Default Investment Option as provided in Exhibit I.

 

6.03. Method of Crediting Interest Adjustments

 

Interest will be credited to a Participant’s Deferred Account and his Excess Benefit Account as follows: As of the last day of each month (or such more frequent period as the Committee may provide) in which any amount remains credited to the Deferred Account or the Excess Benefit Account of a Participant, each portion of such accounts deemed invested in a particular Investment Option shall either be credited or debited with an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance of such portion of such account as of the last day of the preceding month (or such more frequent period as the Committee may provide) by the return rate for that month (or other provided period) for the applicable Investment Option. As to the applicable amount distributed, the Company shall make crediting or debiting adjustments to each Participant’s Deferred Account or his Excess Benefit Account on the last day of the month (or such more frequent period as the Committee may provide) of the date of distribution.

 

ARTICLE VII

OTHER DISTRIBUTION EVENTS

 

7.01. Change of Control

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if a Participant’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries Terminates for any reason other than death, within the two-year period beginning on the date that a Change of Control occurs, then the Company shall pay to the Participant within the first 15 days of the month following such termination a lump sum distribution of his Deferred Account and his Excess Benefit Account. If the Participant dies after Termination but before payment of any amount under this Plan Section, then such amount shall

A.T. MASSEY COAL COMPANY, INC.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

(Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005)

 

be paid to the Beneficiary within the first 15 days of the month following the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any 409A Funds, payment thereof shall not be made earlier than the earliest time of payment permitted under Code Section 409A. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.01 shall not apply to any Non-409A Funds to which this withdrawal right was not available on October 3, 2004.

 

7.02. Unforeseeable Emergency

 

(a) A distribution of a portion of a Participant’s Deferred Account or Excess Benefit Account because of an Unforeseeable Emergency will be permitted only to the extent required by the Participant to satisfy the emergency need plus, in the case of a withdrawal of 409A Funds if approved by the Committee, amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. Whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred will be determined solely by the Committee. Distributions in the event of a Unforeseeable Emergency may be made by and with the approval of the Committee upon written request by a Participant.

 

(b) An “Unforeseeable Emergency” is defined as a severe financial hardship to the Participant caused by sudden or unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent of the Participant (as defined in Code Section 152(a)), a loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances caused by a result of events beyond the Participant’s control. The circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any event, any distribution under this Plan Section shall not exceed the amount required by the Participant to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency after (i) reimbursement or compensation through insurance or otherwise, (ii) liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause a severe financial hardship, or (iii) suspension, to the extent available under the Plan and not prohibited by the deferral election change rules of Code Section 409A, of deferrals under the Plan.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to any Non-409A Funds to which this withdrawal right was not available on October 3, 2004.

 

7.03. Withdrawals of Non-409A Funds

 

A Participant may elect by filing with the Company a form specified by the Committee, to receive an amount equal to 90% of his Non-409A Funds in his Deferred Account or Excess Benefit Account at any time prior to his Termination. The amount of any withdrawal shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practical following such election. If a Participant makes an election described in this Plan Section, the balance of the Participant’s Non-409A Funds in his Deferred Account or Excess Benefit Account not distributed to the Participant shall be forfeited to the Company; and the amount to which he is entitled under this Section 7.03 shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practical following such election. In addition, unless prohibited by the deferral election change rules of Code Section 409A, the Participant shall be prohibited from making a Salary deferral for the balance of the year in which this distribution is made and for the

following year. Unless prohibited by the deferral election change rules of Code Section 409A, any elections previously made pursuant to Plan Section 4.01 shall cease to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to any Non-409A Funds to which this withdrawal right was not available on October 3, 2004.

 

ARTICLE VIII

PARTICIPANT RIGHTS IN THE UNFUNDED PLAN

 

The Company has only a contractual obligation to pay the benefits described in the Plan. All benefits are to be satisfied solely out of the general corporate assets of the Company which shall remain subject to the claims of its creditors. No assets of the Company will be segregated or committed to the satisfaction of its obligations to any Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan. No obligation under the Plan shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or any encumbrance on any property of the Company.
