(e) On May 22, 2009, the stockholders of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (the "Company") approved the Superior Energy Services, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to motivate and reward key employees, consultants, and advisors by giving them a proprietary interest in the Company's success. The compensation committee of our board of directors will generally administer the Plan and has authority to make awards under the Plan and to set the terms of those awards. The committee will also generally have the authority to interpret the Plan, to establish any rules or regulations relating to the Plan that it determines to be appropriate, and to make any other determination that it believes necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan. The types of awards that may be granted under the Plan include stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards. The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted under the Plan is 1,550,000. No individual may receive in any year awards under the Plan, whether payable in cash or shares, that relate to more than 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. Further, the maximum value of an "other stock-based award" that is valued in dollars and that is scheduled to be paid out to a participant in any calendar year is $10 million. The Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by our board of directors, subject to the requirement that certain amendments may not be made without stockholder approval. In addition, no amendment may materially impair an award previously granted without the consent of the recipient. Unless terminated sooner, no awards will be made under the Plan after May 22, 2019. A more detailed description of the terms of the Plan can be found in the Company's definitive proxy statement for its 2009 Annual Meeting (the "Proxy Statement") which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2009, in the section of the Proxy Statement entitled "Proposal to Approve the Superior Energy Services, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan" and is incorporated by reference herein.
