On June 7, 2012, Las Vegas Sands Corp. ("LVSC") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Las Vegas Sands, LLC (together with LVSC, the "Company"), entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Michael A. Leven, pursuant to which Mr. Leven will continue to serve as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer. The Agreement modifies the employment agreement, dated as of November 13, 2010 (the "Employment Agreement"), between the Company and Mr. Leven and provides that the Term of Mr. Leven's employment will continue until December 31, 2014.
The Agreement further provides that no later than five days from June 7, 2012, Mr. Leven will receive an equity award consisting of 300,000 restricted stock units (the "2012 Restricted Stock Unit Award") issued pursuant to the LVSC 2004 Equity Award Plan (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the 2012 Restricted Stock Unit Award (as set forth in the Agreement), Mr. Leven will be entitled to receive shares of LVSC common stock or shares of restricted LVSC common stock, as applicable, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) If the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of LVSC common stock (the "Average Closing Price") during the month of December 2013 is at least fifty dollars ($50.00) per share then, on December 31, 2013, Mr. Leven shall receive one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of restricted LVSC common stock (the "2013 Restricted Stock Award"), which shall vest entirely on December 31, 2014.
(b) Alternatively, if the Average Closing Price during the month of December 2013 is less than fifty dollars ($50.00) per share, but the Average Closing Price during the month of December 2014 is at least fifty dollars ($50.00) per share then, on December 31, 2014, Mr. Leven shall receive one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of unrestricted LVSC common stock.
(c) If the Average Closing Price during the month of December 2014 is at least sixty dollars ($60.00) per share then, in addition to any shares deliverable pursuant to (a) or (b) above, as applicable, on December 31, 2014, Mr. Leven shall receive one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of unrestricted LVSC common stock.
(d) Finally, if the Average Closing Price during the month of December 2014 is at least seventy dollars ($70.00) per share then, in addition to any shares deliverable pursuant to (a) or (b) above, as applicable, and any shares deliverable pursuant to (c) above, on December 31, 2014, Mr. Leven shall receive one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of unrestricted LVSC common stock.
The shares of LVSC common stock (both restricted and unrestricted) issuable pursuant to the 2012 Restricted Stock Unit Award, as well as the vesting of the 2013 Restricted Stock Award, if applicable, are subject to Mr. Leven's continued employment with the Company on December 31, 2014, and the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, as amended by the Agreement (including the amendment to the termination provision described in more detail below), the Plan and the related equity award agreement.
The Agreement also modifies the Employment Agreement to provide that if (a) Mr. Leven's employment is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term because the Company discharges him (other than for Cause), (b) he terminates his employment for Good Reason, (c) his employment is terminated due to his death or disability, or (d) there is a Change in Control of the Company, then (x) the restricted stock awarded to Mr. Leven pursuant to the Employment Agreement shall immediately become fully vested (and the restrictions on the restricted shares shall lapse) and (y) if such termination of employment or
Change in Control occurs during 2014 and the 2013 Restricted Stock Award has been granted, then the 2013 Restricted Stock Award shall become immediately fully vested (and the restrictions on such restricted shares shall lapse).
The other provisions of the Employment Agreement are unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Report and not defined are used as defined in the Employment Agreement.
