  Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On September 20, 2022, the compensation committee of the board of directors of Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (the “Company”) granted performance share units (“PSUs”) under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to certain of the Company’s named executive officers.

 

The maximum number of PSUs that may be earned by each applicable named executive officer is as follows: Edward H. McKay, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, 19,380 PSUs; James J. Volk, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 3,960 PSUs; Elaine M. Cheng, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, 7,050 PSUs; and Heather Tormey (formerly Banks), Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, 1,550 PSUs.

 

The number of PSUs earned will be determined by the compensation committee based on the Company’s achievement with respect to three metrics measured independently of each other against predetermined targets set forth in the applicable award agreement. The metrics are fiber-to-the-home passings as of December 31, 2024, cost to pass over the three-year performance period ending December 31, 2024 and consolidated net adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Subject to the applicable PSU recipient’s continued employment with the Company through December 31, 2024, and to special vesting provisions in the case of a change of control, death or disability, shares of the Company’s common stock will be delivered with respect to each earned and vested PSU after the compensation committee makes the determination as to the number of PSUs earned. 

 

The foregoing description of the grant of PSUs is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the form of the award agreement for the PSUs, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
