Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 18, 2009, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board
of Directors of Walter Investment Management Corp. (the "Company") approved a
grant of options and equity awards to certain of the Company's executive
officers, as described below, conditional upon the ratification of the grant of
awards by the Company's full Board of Directors, including at least a majority
of its independent directors, which occurred on May 19, 2009.
On May 19, 2009, certain executive officers of the Company were awarded
restricted stock units of the Company (each an "Executive RSU"), the amounts of
which are set forth on the chart below with respect to those executive officers
for whom disclosure is required hereunder, and the terms of which awards were
pursuant to the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan of the Company (the "2009 LTIP").
The Executive RSUs granted to each executive officer of the Company will vest in
equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of
grant. The settlement date for each of the Executive RSUs is May 19, 2012, and
each such Executive RSU vested on such date will be paid out with a single share
of common stock of the Company. As a result of the Executive RSUs, each
executive receiving Executive RSUs will be entitled to receive cash payments
equivalent to any dividend paid to the holders of common stock of the Company,
but they will not be entitled to any voting rights otherwise associated with the
Executive RSUs. Generally, all restrictions on an Executive RSU will lapse and
the Executive RSU will vest in its entirety immediately upon the occurrence of a
change in control (as defined in the 2009 LTIP). Unvested Executive RSUs are
subject to forfeiture upon termination of service of the executive (unless due
to death or disability, in which case all restrictions on any such Executive
RSUs will lapse and the Executive RSUs will vest in their entirety). The
foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the form of Executive RSU
Award Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and the form of the 2009 LTIP,
filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, respectively, each of which is incorporated herein
by reference.
On May 19, 2009, certain executive officers of the Company were awarded
nonqualified options to acquire common stock of the Company ("Executive
Options"), the amounts of which are set forth on the chart below with respect to
those executive officers for whom disclosure is required hereunder, and the
terms of which awards were pursuant to the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan of the
Company (the "1999 EIP") and the 2009 LTIP, as indicated below. The Executive
Options granted to each executive officer of the Company will vest and become
exercisable in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary of
the date of grant. The exercise price of $13.37 for each of the Executive
Options was determined based on the mean of the high and low sales prices for a
share of common stock of the Company as reported by the NYSE Amex on the date of
grant. Generally, the Executive Options will vest in their entirety and become
exercisable immediately upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined
in the 1999 EIP or the 2009 LTIP, as applicable). Unvested Executive Options are
subject to forfeiture upon termination of service of the executive (unless due
to death or disability, in which case all such Executive Options will vest in
their entirety and become exercisable). The foregoing description is qualified
in its entirety by the form of the Nonqualified Option Award Agreement under the
1999 EIP, filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto, and the 2009 LTIP and the 1999 EIP,
filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.4 hereto, respectively, each of which is
incorporated herein by reference.
