Annual Incentive Compensation Plan
On September 12, 2012, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of NACCO Industries, Inc., referred to as NACCO, adopted the NACCO Industries, Inc. Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, referred to as the NACCO Annual Plan, for the benefit of management employees of NACCO. The NACCO Annual Plan was adopted, in part, to meet one of the criteria for federal income tax deductibility under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) of all or a portion of the awards granted under the plan for performance periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
The NACCO Annual Plan was adopted in conjunction with the spin-off of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc., referred to as NMHG, to the NACCO stockholders effective September 28, 2012. The NACCO Annual Plan replaces the NMHG annual incentive compensation plan for those employees who transferred employment from NMHG to NACCO as a result of the spin-off. The NACCO Annual Plan provides benefits that are substantially similar to those that were provided under NMHG Annual Plan and predecessor plans. The maximum amount that may be paid to a participant in a single year as a result of awards under the NACCO Annual Plan is $8 million.
The issuance of awards under the NACCO Annual Plan for performance periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 was subject to the approval by the stockholders of NACCO. The stockholders of NACCO approved the NACCO Annual Plan on May 7, 2013.
The NACCO Annual Plan provides that each participant is eligible to earn a target incentive award during a specified one-year performance period. The final payout for each individual under the NACCO Annual Plan is generally based on the participant's target award measured against established performance criteria for the performance period, which performance criteria may differ for different classifications of participants.
The NACCO compensation committee, in its discretion, may increase or decrease awards under the plan and may approve the payment of awards where performance would otherwise not meet the minimum criteria set for payment of awards, except that awards (or portions thereof) that are intended to be “qualified performance-based awards” under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) may not be increased.
On March 26, 2013, the NACCO compensation committee determined that 100% of the awards under the NACCO Annual Plan for 2013 will be based on NACCO's adjusted consolidated return on total capital employed. Final incentive awards under the NACCO Annual Plan for 2013 will be determined by the NACCO compensation committee following December 31, 2013 and such awards will be paid during the period from January 1, 2014 through March 15, 2014 to participants in cash, less applicable withholdings.
The NACCO Annual Plan is listed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the exhibit.
