Item 5.02   Departure of Director or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On May 13, 2010, Hanger Orthopedic Group, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).  At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”).  The 2010 Plan is designed to attract and retain outside individuals to serve as officers, directors, employees and consultants to the Company and to increase stockholder value.  The 2010 Plan seeks to provide a direct link between stockholder value and compensation awards by authorizing awards of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, monetary payments based on the value of the Company’s Common Stock, and other incentive compensation awards that are based on the Company’s financial performance.

 

Upon approval of the 2010 Plan, each of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive and Bonus Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and 2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) terminated. No new awards will be granted under the 2002 Plan or the 2003 Plan; however, awards granted under either the 2002 Plan or the 2003 Plan that were outstanding upon the approval of the 2010 Plan will remain outstanding and continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the 2002 Plan or the 2003 Plan, as the case may be.

 

The 2010 Plan provides that 2,450,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance, subject to adjustment as set forth in the 2010 Plan; provided, however, that only 1,500,000 shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options. Of these 2,450,000 shares, 2,000,000 are shares that are newly authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan and 450,000 are unissued shares not subject to awards that will be carried over from the shares previously authorized for issuance under the terms of the 2002 Plan and the 2003 Plan.

 

Unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, the 2010 Plan will remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the date that is ten years from the date the plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, which is the effective date for the plan, namely May 13, 2020, or (ii) the date all shares reserved for issuance have been issued.

 

The Company cannot currently determine the benefits, if any, to be paid under the 2010 Plan in the future to key officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company, including the named executive officers of the Company.

 

The 2010 Plan is described in detail in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2010.

 

The description of the 2010 Plan set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2010 Plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
