Item 5.02(e) Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of NN, Inc. (the “Corporation”) awarded performance share units (the “PSUs”) to the Corporation’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, on April 30, 2015. The PSUs are a form of long-term incentive compensation designed to directly align the interests of employees to the interests of the Corporation’s stockholders, and to create long-term stockholder value. The awards were made pursuant to the Corporation’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a Performance Share Unit Agreement (the “PSU Agreement”). The PSU Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, and the description herein is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
The following PSUs were awarded to the Corporation’s executive officers, including its named executive officers:
| Executive Officers |
PCUs Based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR Awards”) |
PCUs Based on Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC Awards”) |

The Committee determined that the TSR Awards will vest, if at all, upon the Corporation achieving a specified relative total shareholder return, which will be measured against the total shareholder return of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index during the period beginning on February 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017 (the “Performance Period”). The ROIC Awards will vest, if at all, upon the Corporation achieving a specified average return on invested capital during the Performance Period. If the PSUs do not vest at the end of the Performance Period, such PSUs will expire automatically. Upon vesting, the PSUs will be settled by the issuance of shares of the Corporation’s common stock, subject to the executive officer’s continued employment by the Corporation. The actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued to each award recipient at the end of the Performance Period will be interpolated between a threshold and maximum payout amount based on actual performance results. No dividends will be paid on outstanding PSUs during the Performance Period; however, dividend equivalents will be paid based on the number of shares of common stock that are ultimately earned at the end of the Performance Period.
The description of the PSUs contained herein is a summary of the material terms of the PSU Agreement, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the PSU
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and (ii) the Plan, which is filed as Appendix A to the Corporation’s Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2011, and is incorporated herein by reference.
