Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On May 25, 2006, the shareholders of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), approved amendments to the Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. Amended and Restated 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and approved the Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. Annual Cash Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”). The Board adopted the amended Incentive Plan and the Bonus Plan, subject to shareholder approval, in March 2006.
     The Incentive Plan incorporates an amendment to increase the number of shares available under, and make certain other changes in, the existing plan (the “Amendments”). The Incentive Plan provides for granting stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance shares or stock awards (“Awards”) to employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and other persons whose selection the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) determines to be in the best interests of the Company. The Amendments increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock by 1,000,000 to 2,650,000 with respect to which Awards authorized under the Plan may be awarded. The Amendments also made certain other technical and clarifying changes, to update the Incentive Plan and address recent tax, accounting and other developments.
     The Bonus Plan provides for granting of cash bonuses upon achievement of specified performance goals, referred to as “Management Objectives,” to “Eligible Executives,” who are defined as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and any other executive officer of the Company designated by the Committee. Management Objectives may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the individual Eligible Executive or of the subsidiary, division, department or function within the Company or subsidiary in which the Eligible Executive is employed. The Management Objectives are limited to specified levels of, growth in or relative peer company performance in: earnings per share; return on invested capital; return on total capital; return on assets; return on equity; total shareholder return; net income; revenue; cash flow or operating profit; and productivity improvement. Not later than the 90th day of each fiscal year of the Company, the Committee shall establish the Management Objectives for each Eligible Executive and the amount of incentive bonus payable (or formula for determining such amount) upon full achievement of the specified Management Objectives.
     Incentive bonus payments made under the Bonus Plan are intended to constitute qualified “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and in no event shall the incentive bonus paid to an Eligible Executive under the Bonus Plan for a year exceed $3.0 million.
     The Committee previously established the Management Objectives for fiscal 2006 under the Bonus Plan, subject to shareholder approval of the Bonus Plan. For fiscal 2006, Edward F. Crawford, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, who is currently the only Eligible Executive, will be entitled to an award equal to 4% of the Company’s consolidated adjusted net income.
     The descriptions of the Incentive Plan and Bonus Plan contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Incentive Plan and Bonus Plan, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.1
PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP.
AMENDED AND RESTATED
1998 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
1. PURPOSES
      The purposes of the Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) are to promote the long-term growth and performance of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries by providing an opportunity for employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to participate through share ownership in the long-term growth and success of the Company, enhancing the Company’s ability to attract and retain persons with desired abilities, providing additional incentives for such persons and furthering the identity of interests of employees and shareholders of the Company.
2. DEFINITIONS
      (a) “Award” means any form of stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted shares, share or share-based award or performance share granted to a Participant under the Plan.
      (b) “Award Agreement” means a written agreement between the Company and a Participant setting forth the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to an Award.
      (c) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
      (d) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.
      (e) “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board, or such other committee of the Board that is designated by the Board to administer the Plan, provided that the Committee shall be constituted so as to satisfy any applicable legal requirements, including the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 162(m) of the Code or any respective successor rule.
      (f) “Fair Market Value” means the closing price of Shares as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the date in question, provided that if no sales of Shares were made on the Nasdaq Stock Market on that date, the closing price of Shares as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the preceding day on which sales of Shares were made on the Nasdaq Stock Market shall be used.
      (g) “Participant” means any employee or director of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries or any other person whose selection the Committee determines to be in the best interests of the Company, to whom an Award is made under the Plan.
      (h) “Shares” means the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company.
3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS
      Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 below, the aggregate number of Shares which may be awarded under the Plan shall be 2,650,000, all of which may be incentive stock options. No more than 500,000 Shares shall be the subject of Awards to any individual Participant in any one calendar year. Shares issuable under the Plan may consist of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares.


 

      Any Shares issued by the Company through the assumption or substitution of outstanding grants previously made by an acquired corporation or entity shall not reduce the Shares available for Awards under the Plan. If any Shares subject to any Award granted under the Plan are forfeited or if such Award otherwise terminates without the issuance of such Shares or payment of other consideration in lieu of such Shares, the Shares subject to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be available for grant under the Plan as if such Shares had not been subject to an Award.
4. ADMINISTRATION
      The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have full power and authority to interpret the Plan, to grant waivers of Plan restrictions and to adopt such rules, regulations and policies for carrying out the Plan as it may deem necessary or proper in order to further the purposes of the Plan. In particular, the Committee shall have the authority to (i) select Participants to receive Awards, (ii) determine the number and type of Awards to be granted, (iii) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms hereof, of any Award granted, (iv) interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award granted, (v) prescribe the form of any agreement or instrument executed in connection with any Award, and (vi) establish, amend and rescind such rules, regulations and policies for the administration of the Plan as it may deem advisable from time to time.
5. AWARDS
      The Committee shall determine the type(s) of Award(s) to be made to each Participant and shall set forth in the related Award Agreement the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each Award. Awards may include but are not limited to those listed in this Section 5. Awards may be made singly, in combination, in tandem or in exchange for a previously granted Award, and also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under any other employee plan of the Company, including the plan of any acquired entity.
      (a) Stock Options. Awards may be made in the form of stock options, which may be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or nonstatutory stock options not intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the option is granted) of Shares as to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan and any other plan of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other limit as may be required by the Code from time to time). The exercise price of stock options granted under the Plan shall be not less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of the grant. A stock option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times and upon such terms as may be determined by the Committee, provided that no stock option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant. A participant may pay the exercise price of a stock option in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares. The Committee shall establish appropriate procedures for accepting Shares in payment of the exercise price of a stock option and may impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on such use of Shares.
      (b) Stock Appreciation Rights. Awards may be granted in the form of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). SARs shall entitle the recipient to receive a payment, in cash or Shares, equal to the appreciation in market value of a stated number of Shares from the price stated in the Award Agreement to the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender. SARs may be granted either separately or in conjunction with other Awards granted under the Plan. Any SAR related to a nonstatutory stock option may be granted at the same time such option is granted or any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such option. Any

 


 

SAR related to an incentive stock option must be granted at the same time such option is granted. Any SAR related to an option shall be exercisable only to the extent the related option is exercisable. In the case of any SAR related to any option, the SAR or applicable portion thereof shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related option. Similarly, upon exercise of an SAR as to some or all of the Shares covered by a related option, the related option shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the SARs exercised, and such Shares shall not thereafter be eligible for grant. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions upon the exercise of any SAR as it shall deem appropriate.
      (c) Restricted Shares. Awards may be granted in the form of restricted Shares in such numbers and at such times as the Committee shall determine. Awards of restricted Shares shall be subject to such terms, conditions or restrictions as the Committee deems appropriate including, but not limited to, restrictions on transferability, requirements of continued employment, individual performance or financial performance of the Company. The period of vesting and forfeiture restrictions shall be established by the Committee at the time of grant, except that no restriction period shall be less than 12 months. During the period in which any restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture restrictions, the Committee may, in its discretion, grant to the Participant to whom such restricted Shares have been awarded, all or any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such restricted Shares, including the right to vote such Shares and to receive dividends with respect to such Shares.
      (d) Performance Shares. Awards may be made in the form of Shares that are earned only after the attainment of predetermined performance targets as established by the Committee at the time an Award is made (“Performance Shares”). A performance target shall be based upon one or any combination of the following: (i) revenues of the Company; (ii) operating income of the Company; (iii) net income of the Company; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) the Company’s return on equity; (vi) cash flow of the Company; (vii) Company shareholder total return; (viii) return on assets; (ix) return on investment; (x) asset turnover; (xi) liquidity; (xii) capitalization; (xiii) stock price; (xiv) expenses; (xv) operating profit and margin; (xvi) retained earnings; (xvii) market share; (xviii) sales to targeted customers; (xix) customer satisfaction; (xx) quality measures; (xxi) productivity; (xxii) safety measures; or (xxiii) educational and technical skills of employees. Performance targets may also be based on the attainment of levels of performance of the Company and/or any of its affiliates or divisions under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other businesses. The Committee shall be permitted to make adjustments when determining the attainment of a performance target to reflect extraordinary or nonrecurring items or events, or unusual nonrecurring gains or losses identified in the Company’s financial statements, as long as any such adjustments are made in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent applicable. Awards of Performance Shares made to Participants subject to Section 162(m) of the Code are intended to qualify under Section 162(m) and provisions of such Awards shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent to the extent appropriate. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(d) also shall be applicable to Awards of restricted Shares made under Section 5(c) to the extent such Awards of restricted Shares are subject to the financial performance of the Company. At the end of the applicable performance period, Performance Shares shall be converted into Shares (or cash or a combination of Shares and cash, as set forth in the Award Agreement) and distributed to Participants based upon the applicable performance entitlement. Award payments made in cash rather than the issuance of Shares shall not, by reason of such payment in cash, result in additional Shares being available under the Plan.
      (e) Stock Awards. Awards may be made in Shares or on a basis valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon, Shares. Share awards shall be subject to conditions established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.

 


 

6. PAYMENT OF AWARDS; DEFERRALS
      Payment of Awards may be made in the form of Shares, cash or a combination of Shares and cash and may include such restrictions as the Committee shall determine, including restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. With Committee approval, payments may be deferred, either in the form of installments or a future lump sum payment. The Committee may permit Participants to elect to defer payments of some or all types of Awards in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to assure that such deferrals comply with applicable requirements of the Code including the capability to make further deferrals for payment after retirement. The Committee may also establish rules and procedures for the crediting of interest on deferred cash payments and dividend equivalents for deferred payments denominated in Shares.
7. TAX WITHHOLDING
      The Company shall have the authority to withhold, or to require a Participant to remit to the Company, prior to issuance or delivery of any Shares or cash relating to an Award made under the Plan, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local tax withholding requirements associated with any Award. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy any tax withholding requirements, in whole or in part, by (i) delivering to the Company Shares held by such Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the tax or (ii) directing the Company to retain Shares having such Fair Market Value and otherwise issuable to the Participant under the Plan.
8. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
      If the employment of a Participant terminates for any reason, all unexercised, deferred and unpaid Awards shall be exercisable or paid in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement, which may provide that the Committee may authorize, as it deems appropriate, the acceleration and/or continuation of all or any part of Awards granted prior to such termination.
9. NONASSIGNABILITY
      Except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, no Award or any benefit under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, or payable to or exercisable by, anyone other than the Participant to whom it was granted.
10. CHANGE IN CONTROL
      (a) In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company, and except as the Board may expressly provide otherwise, (i) all stock options or SARs then outstanding shall become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control, whether or not then otherwise exercisable, (ii) all restrictions and conditions of all Awards of restricted Shares then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the Change in Control, and (iii) all Awards of Performance Shares shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the date of the Change in Control.
      (b) A “Change in Control” of the Company shall have occurred when any of the following events shall occur:
        (i) The Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or other legal person, and immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately

 


 

  after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock (as that term is hereafter defined) of the Company immediately prior to such transaction;
 
        (ii) The Company sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal person, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such sale are held in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale;
 
        (iii) There is a report filed or required to be filed on Schedule 13D on Schedule 14D-1 (or any successor schedule, form or report), each as promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, disclosing that any person (as the term “person” is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) has become the beneficial owner (as the term “beneficial owner, is defined under Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (“Voting Stock”);
 
        (iv) The Company files a report or proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing in response to Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) that a change in control of the Company has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future pursuant to any then-existing contract or transaction; or
 
        (v) If during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the Directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (v), each Director who is first elected, or first nominated for election by the Company’s shareholders by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors of the Company (or a committee thereof) then still in office who were Directors of the Company at the beginning of any such period will be deemed to have been a Director of the Company at the beginning of such period.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10(b)(iii) or (iv) hereof, unless otherwise determined in a specific case by majority vote of the Board, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the Plan solely because (i) the Company, (ii) an entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of the voting securities or interest, or (iii) any Company-sponsored employee stock ownership plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company, either files or becomes obligated to file a report or a proxy statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule 14D-1, Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) under the Exchange Act, disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of Voting Stock, whether in excess of 20% or otherwise, or because the Company reports that a change in control of the Company has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future by reason of such beneficial ownership.
11. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES OF CAPITALIZATION
      In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or any change in the corporate structure or Shares of the Company, the number of Shares as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, including limitations relating to incentive stock option Awards and maximum Awards to individual Participants, the number of Shares issuable pursuant to then outstanding Awards, and/or, if appropriate, the prices of Shares related to outstanding Awards, shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted.

 


 

12. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES
      Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continued employment with the Company or any subsidiary.
13. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF PLAN AND AWARDS
      The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that no such action shall be taken that would impair the rights under an outstanding Award without the Participant’s consent.
      The Board may amend the terms of any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent and no such amendment shall have the effect, with respect to any employee subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, of increasing the amount of any Award from the amount that would otherwise be payable pursuant to the formula and/or goals previously established for such Participant.
14. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE
      To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any awards made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and any award made hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan or any award made hereunder to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consents of Participants). Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
