On February 24, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Bucyrus International, Inc.
(the Company) approved certain amendments to the forms of existing Key Executive Employment and Severance Agreements (the KEESAs) currently in place with the executive officers of the Company. These amendments were effective
on February 24, 2010 and included the following:
|
|
The elimination of the so-called tax gross ups payable to our executives for any excise tax payable on excess parachute payments resulting
from the change in control, as replaced by a provision to allow the executive to decide to either cap his severance payments receivable under his KEESA to avoid incurring any excess parachute payment excise tax or to receive the full payments
receivable under his KEESA and incur such excise tax;
|
|
|
The addition to the amount of average Form W-2 compensation, which is otherwise subject to being multiplied by a factor set forth in the executive
officers KEESA, of (i) any deferred compensation amounts over the applicable pre-change in control employment period and (ii) the grant date value of the last regular long-term incentive grants made to the executive within the
365-day period prior to the change in control;
|
|
|
The elimination of Timothy W. Sullivans deferred single trigger provision, so that all of the KEESAs now contain double
trigger provisions relating to the payment of compensation pursuant to the terms of the KEESAs; and
|
|
|
The modification of how average Form W-2 compensation is computed for an executive employed by the Company for less than three full years prior to a
change in control.
|
The description of the amendments to the KEESAs is qualified in its entirety to the
copies of the KEESAs that are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.
