EXHIBIT 10.06
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into as of the ___day of ___, 2009, effective as of
December 16, 2008 (hereinafter called the “Award Date”), by and between Capstead Mortgage
Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Capstead” or the “Company”), and (the
“Grantee”).
WHEREAS, the compensation committee of Capstead’s board of directors (the “Committee”)
believes employees of the Company should have an ongoing stake in the long-term success of the
Company, and
WHEREAS, the Committee believes by providing a long-term equity-based award appropriately
linked to the Company’s performance over a multiple year period will better align the employees’
long-term interests with those of our stockholders.
THEREFORE, the Committee has awarded to the Grantee a restricted stock award conditioned upon
the execution by the Company and the Grantee of a Restricted Stock Agreement and the satisfaction
certain performance criteria set forth herein. In consideration of the mutual promise(s) and
covenant(s) contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. GRANT.
1.1 Grant and Acceptance. Pursuant to the December 16, 2008 authorization to grant
shares of restricted stock to the current employees, the Company does hereby grant and transfer to
the Grantee, for no cash consideration from the Grantee, and the Grantee does hereby accept from
the Company, an aggregate of shares (the “Award Shares”) of the Common Stock, $0.01 par
value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) according to the terms and conditions
and subject to the restrictions, forfeiture risks and other terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
1.2 Effect of Plan. The Award Shares shall constitute Restricted Stock and this grant
shall constitute a Performance Award, each as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004
Flexible Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Agreement is expressly subject to the
terms and provisions of the Plan and in the event there is a conflict between the terms of the Plan
and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control. All undefined capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Plan. The Award is subject to all laws, approvals,
requirements and regulations of any governmental authority which may be applicable thereto.
SECTION 2. RIGHTS IN SHARES. The Grantee, for the duration of this Agreement, shall
be the record owner of, and shall be entitled to vote, the Award Shares and shall be entitled to
receive all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Award Shares (provided, however,
that nothing contained herein shall cause the Company to declare any such dividends or to make any
such distributions).
SECTION 3. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA, MEASUREMENT PERIOD AND VESTING.
3.1 Performance Criteria. The “Performance Criteria” with respect to the Award Shares shall
be satisfied if the annualized Return on Long-Term Investment Capital for a Measurement Period, as
defined in Section 3.2, exceeds the annualized Benchmark Return for the Measurement Period.
For purposes of this calculation, the following defined terms apply:
“Benchmark Return” shall be equal to the greater of (i) the average 10-year
U.S. Treasury rate plus 2.00% for the Measurement Period or (ii) 8.00%.
“Earnings” for each Measurement Period shall be equal to net income, excluding
(i) incentive compensation, (ii) interest on unsecured borrowings, net of equity in the
earnings of related statutory trusts, and (iii) Portfolio Restructuring Gains or Losses.
“Long-Term Investment Capital” for each year within a specified Measurement
Period, shall equal the sum of (i) average stockholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), incentive compensation accruals and any Portfolio Restructuring
Gains or Losses, and (ii) average unsecured borrowings, net of related investments in
statutory trusts.
“Portfolio Restructuring Gains or Losses” shall mean the net effect of all
gains and losses incurred and recorded for GAAP purposes during the Measurement Period
relating to any portfolio restructuring by the Company, including, but not limited to,
accounting impairments on residential and commercial investments and charges associated with
terminating any related borrowings or derivative financial instruments held for risk
management purposes.
“Return on Long-Term Investment Capital” shall be equal to Earnings for the
Measurement Period divided by average Long-Term Investment Capital for the Measurement
Period, with such result being expressed as a percentage.
3.2 Measurement Period. Performance shall be measured over consecutive three-year
periods, as follows:
(a) The first “Measurement Period” shall be for the three-year period ending December
31, 2011; and
(b) The second “Measurement Period” shall be for the three-year period ending December
31, 2012.
If the Company fails to have satisfied the Performance Criteria for any Measurement Period as
set forth in (a) or (b) above, such Measurement Period shall be deferred and a new Measurement
Period shall be established to end the following year, provided that the final Measurement Period,
if necessary, shall be for the three-year period ending December 31, 2015 (the “Final
Measurement Period”).
3.3 Vesting and Vesting Date.
(a) Pursuant to the Plan, after the end of each Measurement Period, the Committee shall
determine whether the Performance Criteria were satisfied. If the Performance Criteria were
satisfied with respect to any Measurement Period, the Committee shall establish a “Vesting
Date” with respect to such Measurement Period. The determination by the Committee as to the
satisfaction of the Performance Criteria with respect to the Final Measurement Period shall be
deemed to be the “Final Determination.”
(b) Provided (i) the Grantee remains continuously employed by the Company throughout the
applicable Measurement Period and (ii) the Performance Criteria for the Measurement Period have
been satisfied and acknowledged by the Committee, then:
(A) Fifty percent (50%) of the Award Shares shall vest (become nonforfeitable) on the
Vesting Date established by the Committee with respect to the first Measurement Period
(which may, in certain circumstances, coincide with the second Measurement Period), provided
that any remaining unvested Award Shares after the Final Determination shall be forfeited.
(B) Fifty percent (50%) of the Award Shares shall vest (become nonforfeitable) on the
Vesting Date established by the Committee with respect to the second Measurement Period
(which may, in certain circumstances, coincide with the first Measurement Period), provided
that any remaining unvested Award Shares after the Final Determination shall be forfeited.
(c) Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth above, except as otherwise provided in
Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 below, no additional Award Shares shall vest after:
(i) termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate for any
reason other than death (including termination by reason of voluntary or involuntary
discharge, Disability or Retirement) in which case the Grantee shall, at the time of
termination, forfeit all right, title and interest in and to any Award Shares not then
vested, or
(ii) a Grantee working full-time at the Award Date reduces his/her scheduled hours
worked per week below a standard 40-hour work week, in which case the Grantee shall, at the
time of such reduction and subject to management’s discretion, forfeit all right, title and
interest in and to any Award Shares not then vested; or
(iii) a Grantee working part-time at the Award Date reduces his/her scheduled hours
worked per week below a standard 20-hour work week, in which case the Grantee shall, at the
time of such reduction and subject to management’s discretion, forfeit all right, title and
interest in and to any Award Shares not then vested.
3.4 Effect of Grantee’s Death. If the Grantee ceases to be an employee of the Company
or any Affiliate by reason of death prior to the end of a Measurement Period, the personal
representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees of the Grantee, as appropriate, shall become fully
vested in the number of Award Shares that would have otherwise vested on the Vesting Date
associated with that Measurement Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of years during the related Measurement Period in which the Grantee was alive and employed
by the Company for any portion of such year and the denominator of which is three. Such
beneficiary shall have no further rights under this Agreement.
3.5 Effect of Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, any and all outstanding Award Shares not fully vested shall
automatically be forfeited.
3.6 Effect of Change of Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in
the Plan), any and all outstanding Award Shares not fully vested shall automatically vest in full.
The date on which such accelerated vesting shall occur shall be the date of the occurrence of the
Change in Control.
3.7 Effect of Forfeiture. Any Award Shares forfeited pursuant to Section 3.3, 3.4 and
3.5 shall revert to the Company.
SECTION 4. STOCK CERTIFICATES. Upon grant of the Award Shares, the Company shall
cause its Transfer Agent to record Grantee’s ownership of such Award Shares in book entry form. As
Award Shares vest hereunder, such Award Shares shall be transferred into an unrestricted account in
the name of the Grantee or, at the request of the Grantee, issued in stock certificate form. Any
such certificates shall be unencumbered by any of the restrictions enumerated herein other than
such restrictions as may be imposed by applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations.
SECTION 5. TRANSFER OF AWARD SHARES.
5.1 Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the unvested Award Shares shall not be offered,
sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (each, a
“Transfer”) for any purpose whatsoever, other than to the Company, and shall not be
subject, in whole or in part, to execution, attachment, or similar process in all such cases until
the date of vesting. Any attempted Transfer of the unvested Award Shares, other than in accordance
with the terms set forth herein, shall be void and of no effect.
5.2 Grantee acknowledges that any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of vested
Award Shares may be subject to restrictions contained in applicable federal or state securities
laws and regulations and that any such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of Award
Shares by him or her will be in compliance with such laws and regulations.
SECTION 6. WITHHOLDINGS. The Company and each Affiliate shall have the right to
retain and withhold from any payment (including the vesting) of Award Shares (and any dividends on
Award Shares) any amounts required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to
such payment (including the vesting thereof). At its discretion, the Company and each Affiliate
may require the Grantee receiving Award Shares to reimburse the Company or any Affiliate for any
such taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the Affiliate and withhold any distribution in
whole or in part until the Company and each Affiliate is so reimbursed. In lieu thereof, the
Company and each Affiliate shall have the right to withhold from any other cash amounts due or to
become due from the Company or the Affiliate to the Grantee an amount equal to such taxes required
to be withheld by the Company or the Affiliate as reimbursement for any such taxes or retain and
withhold a number of shares having a market value not less than the amount of such taxes in order
to reimburse the Company or the Affiliate for any such taxes.
SECTION 7. ADJUSTMENTS TO AWARD SHARES.
7.1 Stock Dividends and Splits and Similar Transactions. Subject to any required
action by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders, the number of Award Shares shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of the Company
resulting from the payment of a Share dividend, a Share split, a Share reverse-split or any similar
transaction.
7.2 Change in Par Value. In the event of a change in the Company’s Shares, which is
limited to a change of all of its authorized shares with par value into the same number of shares
with a different par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be
deemed to be shares within the meaning of the Plan.
7.3 Other Capital Adjustments. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided in Section
7.1 and except for rights that all holders of Common Stock shall have, Grantee shall have no rights
by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class or payment of any share
dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or by reason of any
dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another
corporation; any issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into
Shares of any class, shall not affect the Award, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to the number or price of the Company’s Shares subject to the Award. An Award of
Restricted Stock shall not affect in any way the
right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or
changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve,
liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
