(e) On January 23, 2018, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Stein Mart, Inc. (the Company) adopted the Companys 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan). The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards and other equity-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The 2018 Plan is intended to replace the Companys 2001 Omnibus Plan (as amended and restated, the 2001 Plan), and no further awards will be granted under the 2001 Plan. The Company intends to submit the 2018 Plan for approval at the Companys 2018 annual meeting of shareholders.
The 2018 Plan generally will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Committee), although the Board retains the right to appoint another of its committees to administer the 2018 Plan or to administer the 2018 Plan directly.
A maximum number of 4,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock) is available for issuance under the 2018 Plan, plus up to 3,629,488 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding awards granted under the 2001 Plan that expire or are forfeited for any reason. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan is subject to adjustment upon changes in the outstanding Common Stock or in the capital structure of the Company, in the discretion of the Committee. Shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the 2018 Plan that expire or are forfeited for any reason will again be available for grants under the 2018 Plan. Shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the 2018 Plan that are (i) settled in cash, (ii) withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards or other equity-based awards (but not options or stock appreciation rights) or (iii) exchanged with the Companys permission prior to the issuance of shares for awards not involving shares will also again be available for grants under the 2018 Plan.
The number of shares that may be granted under the 2018 Plan to a non-employee director in a single fiscal year is limited to 70,000 shares. No participant may receive, during a single fiscal year, (i) options or stock appreciation rights granted under the 2018 Plan with respect to more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, (ii) restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or other equity-based awards subject to performance goals granted under the 2018 Plan with respect to more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate or (iii) cash awards granted under the 2018 Plan with an aggregate value that exceeds $2,500,000.
The 2018 Plan will continue in effect until its termination by the Board, provided that no awards may be granted following the tenth anniversary of the 2018 Plans effective date. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2018 Plan at any time, subject to obtaining stockholder approval to the extent required under applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Companys shares are then listed.
The foregoing summary of the 2018 Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the 2018 Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
