NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company recognizes revenue on contracts when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer.  For contracts in which revenue is recognized upon shipment, control is generally transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, the Company has rights to payment, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer.  For contracts in which revenue is recognized over time, control is generally transferred as the Company creates an asset that does not have an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date.

A performance obligation represents a promise in a contract to provide a distinct good or service to a customer.  The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.  Transaction price reflects the

9


 

amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferred products.  A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied.  In certain cases, the Company may separate a contract into more than one performance obligation, while in other cases, several products may be part of a fully integrated solution and are bundled into a single performance obligation.  If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods underlying each performance obligation.  The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the contract price all taxes assessed by government authorities that are collected by the Company from its customers.  The Company does not adjust the contract price for the effects of a financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when a product is transferred to a customer and when the customer pays for the product will be one year or less. Shipping and handling fees billed to the customer are recorded in revenue and the related costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

Revenue on the majority of the Company’s contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon shipment to the customer.  Revenue on larger contracts, which are fewer in number but represent the majority of revenue, is recognized over time.  Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 40% and 30% of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately 60% and 70% of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 50% and 35% of revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately 50% and 65% of revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, revenue recognized over time as a percentage of total revenue was lower as compared with the prior year period due to limited production on large contracts during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Company recognizes revenue over time when contract performance results in the creation of a product for which the Company does not have an alternative use and the contract includes an enforceable right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed.  To measure progress towards completion on performance obligations for which revenue is recognized over time the Company utilizes an input method based upon a ratio of direct labor hours incurred to date to management’s estimate of the total labor hours to be incurred on each contract or an output method based upon completion of operational milestones, depending upon the nature of the contract.  The Company has established the systems and procedures essential to developing the estimates required to account for performance obligations over time.  These procedures include monthly review by management of costs incurred, progress towards completion, identified risks and opportunities, sourcing determinations, changes in estimates of costs yet to be incurred, availability of materials, and execution by subcontractors.  Sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based on revisions in the contract value due to pricing changes and estimated costs at completion.  Losses on contracts are recognized immediately when evident to management.

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect trade accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets) and customer deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Unbilled revenue represents revenue on contracts that is recognized over time and exceeds the amount that has been billed to the customer.  Unbilled revenue is separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company may have an unconditional right to payment upon billing and prior to satisfying the performance obligations.  The Company will then record a contract liability and an offsetting asset of equal amount until the deposit is collected and the performance obligations are satisfied.  Customer deposits are separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Customer deposits are not considered a significant financing component as they are generally received less than one year before the product is completed or used to procure specific material on a contract, as well as related overhead costs incurred during design and construction.

Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:

Contract liabilities at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 include $2,420 and $3,660, respectively, of customer deposits for which the Company has an unconditional right to collect payment.  Trade accounts receivable, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes corresponding balances at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.  Revenue recognized in the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2020 was $2,700 and $10,050, respectively.  Changes in the net contract liability balance during the six months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by a $901 decrease in contract assets, of which $12,283 was due to contract progress offset by invoicing to customers

10


 

of $13,184.  In addition, contract liabilities decreased $2,145 driven by revenue recognized in the current period that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2020 offset by new customer deposits of $7,905.

Receivables billed but not paid under retainage provisions in the Company’s customer contracts were $2,232 and $2,016 at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Incremental costs to obtain a contract consist of sales employee and agent commissions.  Commissions paid to employees and sales agents are capitalized when paid and amortized to selling, general and administrative expense when the related revenue is recognized.  Capitalized costs, net of amortization, to obtain a contract were $309 and $45 at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in the line item "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The related amortization expense was $89 and $40 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $251 and $86 in the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress.  The Company also refers to this measure as backlog.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $114,851.  The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 60% to 65% of the remaining performance obligations within one year, 15% to 20% in one to two years and the remaining beyond two years.

 

 

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS:

Investments consist of certificates of deposits with financial institutions.  All investments have original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year and are classified as held-to-maturity, as the Company believes it has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  Investments are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value.  All investments held by the Company at September 30, 2020 are scheduled to mature on or before December 24, 2020.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION:

The 2020 Graham Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting on August 11, 2020 and provides for the issuance of 422 shares of common stock in connection with grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and stock awards to officers, key employees and outside directors.  The shares available for issuance include 112 remaining available shares under the Company’s prior plan, the Amended and Restated 2000 Graham Corporation Incentive Plan to Increase Shareholder Value (the "2000 Plan").  As of August 11, 2020, the effective date of the 2020 Plan, no further awards will be granted under the 2000 Plan.  However, any previously outstanding award granted under the 2000 Plan remains subject to the terms of such plan until the time it is no longer outstanding.

 No restricted stock awards were granted in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.  Restricted stock awards granted in the six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 113 and 83, respectively.  Restricted shares of 54 and 40 granted to officers in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively, vest 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date subject to the satisfaction of the performance metrics for the applicable three-year period.  Restricted shares of 38 and 28 granted to officers and key employees in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively, vest 33⅓% per year over a three-year term.  Restricted shares of 21 and 15 granted to directors in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively, vest 100% on the first year anniversary of the grant date.  Stock

11


 

options may be granted at prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant and expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.  No stock option awards were granted in the three-month or six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized equity-based compensation costs related to restricted stock awards of $316 and $313, respectively.  The income tax benefit recognized related to equity-based compensation was $73 and $69 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  During the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized equity-based compensation costs related to restricted stock awards of $471 and $401, respectively.  The income tax benefit recognized related to equity-based compensation was $111 and $89 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company self-funds the medical insurance coverage it provides to its U.S. based employees.  The Company maintains a stop loss insurance policy in order to limit its exposure to claims.  The liability of $160 and $124 on September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, related to the self-insured medical plan is primarily based upon claim history and is included in the caption “Accrued compensation” as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

 

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in, or accompanying, products made by the Company.  The Company is a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims.  The claims in the Company’s current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos-related suits that named the Company as a defendant, which either were dismissed when it was shown that the Company had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were settled for immaterial amounts.  The Company cannot provide any assurances that any pending or future matters will be resolved in the same manner as previous lawsuits.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company was subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.

Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which the Company is, or may become, a party to cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, management does not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

 

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES:

The Company files federal and state income tax returns in several domestic and international jurisdictions.  In most tax jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been filed.  The Company is subject to U.S. federal examination for the tax years 2016 through 2019 and examination in state tax jurisdictions for the tax years 2015 through 2019.  The Company is subject to examination in the People’s Republic of China for tax years 2016 through 2019 and in India for tax year 2019.

There was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits at either September 30, 2020 or March 31, 2020.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

                                                             (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 

Overview

We are a global business that designs, manufactures and sells critical equipment for the energy, defense and chemical/petrochemical industries.  Our energy markets include oil refining, cogeneration, and alternative power.  For the defense industry, our equipment is used in nuclear propulsion power systems for the U.S. Navy.  For the chemical and petrochemical industries, our equipment is used in fertilizer, ethylene, methanol and downstream chemical facilities.

 

Our global brand is built upon our world-renowned engineering expertise in vacuum and heat transfer technology, responsive and flexible service and high quality standards.  We design and manufacture custom-engineered ejectors, vacuum pumping systems, surface condensers and vacuum systems.  Our equipment can also be found in other diverse applications such as metal refining, pulp and paper processing, water heating, refrigeration, desalination, food processing, pharmaceutical, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning.

 

Our corporate headquarters are located in Batavia, New York.  We have production facilities co-located with our headquarters in Batavia.  We also have wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, Graham Vacuum and Heat Transfer Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. ("GVHTT"), located in Suzhou, China and Graham India Private Limited ("GIPL"), located in Ahmedabad, India. GVHTT provides sales and engineering support for us in the People's Republic of China and management oversight throughout Southeast Asia.  GIPL serves as a sales and market development office focusing on the refining, petrochemical and fertilizer markets in India.

 

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 (which we refer to as "fiscal 2020"), we completed the sale of our commercial nuclear utility business, Energy Steel and Supply Co. ("Energy Steel").

 

Our current fiscal year (which we refer to as "fiscal 2021") ends March 31, 2021.

Highlights

Highlights for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 include:

 

 

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $27,954 up 29% compared with $21,643 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $44,664, up 6% compared with net sales of $42,236 for the first six months of fiscal 2020. Included in the first six months of fiscal 2020 were sales of $1,276 for our commercial nuclear utility business, which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

 

 

Net income and income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $2,744 and $0.27, respectively, compared with $1,205 and $0.12, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Net income and income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $926 and $0.09, respectively, compared with net income of $1,287 and income per diluted share of $0.13 for the first six months of fiscal 2020.   Included in net income and income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was a loss of $893 and $0.09, respectively, for our commercial nuclear utility business, which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

 

 

Results in the first half of fiscal 2021 were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  During the first quarter, we purposely reduced production at our facility in Batavia, New York to proactively address the risk to our employees from the COVID-19 pandemic.  We began the first quarter at 10% of normal staffing capacity and gradually increased production, reaching to normal capacity by early June 2020.  On average, we were at approximately 50% of normal staffing capacity across the first quarter.  This reduction in staffing significantly affected our sales and earnings in such quarter, which negatively impacted the first six months of fiscal 2021.  Our staffing in the second quarter was back to normal levels.

 

 

Orders booked in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $34,974, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2020 when orders booked were $32,552.  Orders booked in the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $46,442, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2020 when orders booked were $47,641.  

 

 

Backlog was $114,851 at September 30, 2020, compared with $107,220 at June 30, 2020 and $112,389 at March 31, 2020.

 

16


 

 

Gross profit margin and operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were 28% and 12%, respectively, compared with 23% and 5%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Gross profit margin and operating margin for the first six months of fiscal 2021 were 21% and 2%, respectively, compared with 23% and 2%, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2020.

 

 

Cash and short-term investments at September 30, 2020 were $67,856, compared with $73,003 at March 31, 2020.

Current Market Conditions

 

We continue to operate within disrupted energy and petrochemical markets (which we refer to as our “commercial markets”).  A slowdown in our commercial markets began during the latter part of fiscal 2020.  This slowdown was primarily caused

17


 

by an excess supply of crude oil, which had a negative impact on commodity pricing.  The economic slowdown and corresponding reductions in demand for transportation fuel and petrochemical products caused by the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic further adversely affected our commercial markets.  As a result of this combination of adverse supply-side and demand-side disruptions, our commercial customers have significantly reduced their operating budgets for products and services like those that we offer.  The timing and catalyst for a recovery in our commercial markets remains uncertain and we believe that in the near term the quantity of projects available for us to compete for will be fewer and that the pricing environment will continue to be challenging.

 

Over the long-term, however, we expect that population growth, an expanding global middle class and an increasing desire for more industrial products will drive increased demand for chemical and petrochemical products.  Moreover, once global economies return to stable growth, we expect investment in new global chemical and petrochemical capacity will resume and that such investments will drive growth in demand for our products and services.  

 

Energy markets, in particular crude oil refining, are undergoing a more fundamental evolution.  We believe that systemic changes in the energy markets are being driven, in part, by the increasing use by consumers of alternative fuels in lieu of fossil fuel.  As a result, we anticipate demand growth for fossil-based fuels will be less than the global GDP growth rate and that crude oil refiners will focus new investments toward the installed base, and that inefficient refineries will close and new refining capacity will be co-located where fuels and petrochemicals are produced.  We also anticipate that future investment by refiners in renewable fuels (e.g., renewable diesel), in existing refineries (e.g., to expand feedstock processing flexibility, improve conversion of oil to refined products) to gain greater throughput, or to build new capacity (e.g., integrated refineries with petrochemical products capabilities) will continue to drive demand for our products and services.

 

Demand for our products in the defense industry is related to the naval nuclear propulsion market which is tied to aircraft carrier and submarine vessel construction schedules of the primary shipyards contracted by the U.S. Navy.  We expect growth in our naval nuclear propulsion business will result from our strategic actions to increase our market share, our successful performance, and expected demand increases.  The economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has not adversely effected demand for our products or services in the naval market.

 

The chart below shows the impact of our successful diversification strategy into multiple U.S. Navy defense platforms.  Our U.S. Navy defense business, which began with our entry into the nuclear carrier program and expanded into both the Virginia and Columbia class nuclear submarine programs, made up 50% of our total backlog at September 30, 2020.  Each vessel platform has made up at least 10% of our total backlog for the past three years.  We believe this diversification is especially beneficial when our commercial markets are weak, as is presently the case.

The Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 2021 Compared With the Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 2020

 

Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $27,954, a 29% increase compared with $21,643 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Our domestic sales, as a percentage of aggregate product sales, were 62% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with 73% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Domestic sales year-over-year increased $1,521, or 10%.  International sales increased $4,790, or 81%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Sales in the three months ended September 30, 2020 were 37% to the refining industry, 19% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 34% for the defense (U.S. Navy) industry, and 10% to other commercial and industrial applications.  Sales in the three months ended September 30, 2019 were 29% to the refining industry, 48% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 12% for the defense (U.S. Navy) industry, and 11% to other commercial and industrial applications.  Fluctuation in sales among markets, products and geographic locations varies, sometimes significantly, from quarter-to-quarter based on timing, quantity, and value of projects.  See also "Current Market Conditions," above.  For additional information on anticipated future sales and our markets, see "Orders and Backlog" below.

 

Sales for the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $44,664, an increase of $2,428, or 6% compared with $42,236 for the first six months of fiscal 2020.  Our domestic sales, as a percentage of aggregate product sales, were 60% in the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared with 71% in the same period in fiscal 2020.  Domestic sales decreased $3,489, or 12%, while international sales increased by $5,917, or 49%, each as compared with the same prior year period.  International sales accounted for 40% and 29% of total sales for the first six months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively.  Sales in the six months ended September 30, 2020 were 29% to the refining industry, 30% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 29% for the defense industry (U.S. Navy), and 12% to other commercial and industrial applications.  Sales in the six months ended September 30, 2019 were 33% to the refining industry, 42% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 11% for the defense (U.S. Navy) industry, and 14% to other commercial and industrial applications.

 

Gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was 28% compared with 23% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 55% compared with fiscal 2020, to $7,693 from $4,948.  The increase in gross profit was driven by higher volume, which was due to increased throughput at our Batavia facility, as well as, accelerated conversion at our global fabrication partner’s facilities and the completion of a materials only order.  

 

Gross profit margin for the first six months of fiscal 2021 was 21% compared with 23% for the first six months of fiscal 2020. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2021 decreased 4% compared with the first six months of fiscal 2020, to $9,261 from $9,662.  Gross profit margin in the first six months of fiscal 2021 was adversely impacted by the underutilization of our Batavia facility in the first quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

SG&A expenses as a percent of sales for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 were 15% and 18%, respectively.  SG&A expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $4,253, an increase of $406 compared with SG&A expenses of $3,847 in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  SG&A expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $8,155, a decrease of $259 compared with SG&A expenses of $8,414 in the first six months of fiscal 2020.  Included in the first six months of fiscal 2020, was $621 for the divested commercial nuclear utility business.

19


 

Interest income for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 was $26 and $120, respectively, compared with $363 and $762, respectively, for the same periods ended September 30, 2019.  The decrease in interest income is due to market investment rates, which are significantly lower when compared with rates a year ago.  Interest expense for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 was $3 and $8, respectively, compared with $4 and $7, respectively, for the same periods ended September 30, 2019.  

Our effective tax rate for each of the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 was 22% and 30%, respectively.  The effective tax rate for each of the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2019 was 22%.  The higher six-month tax rate in fiscal 2021 was due to the loss we incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  Our effective tax rate for the full fiscal year is expected to be closer to 22%.

Net income and income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $2,744 and $0.27, respectively, compared with $1,205 and $0.12, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  Net income and income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $926 and $0.09, respectively, compared with net income of $1,287 and income per diluted share of $0.13 for the first six months of fiscal 2020.   Included in net income and income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was a loss of $893 and $0.09, respectively, for our commercial nuclear utility business, which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Working capital excluding cash and investments as a percent of net sales is based upon trailing twelve month sales.

 

Net cash used by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2021 was $2,258, compared with cash usage of $1,915 for the first six months of fiscal 2020.  The cash usage comparison year over year was attributable primarily to an increase in accounts receivable, mostly offset by a decrease in unbilled revenue due to timing.  The increase in working capital excluding cash and investments as a percent of net sales was due to timing of working capital.

 

Dividend payments and capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $2,195 and $797, respectively, compared with $2,075 and $679, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2020.  

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 are expected to be between approximately $2,000 and $2,500.

Cash and investments were $67,856 on September 30, 2020 compared with $73,003 on March 31, 2020, down $5,146.

 

We invest net cash generated from operations in excess of cash held for near-term needs in short-term, less than 365 days, certificates of deposit, money market accounts or U.S. government instruments, generally with maturity periods of up to 180 days.  Our money market account is used to securitize our outstanding letters of credit, which reduces our cost on those letters of credit.  Approximately 95% of our cash and investments are held in the U.S.  The remaining 5% is invested in our China operations.  

 

Our revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase, N.A. ("JP Morgan Chase") provides us with a line of credit of $25,000, including letters of credit and bank guarantees.  In addition, our JP Morgan Chase agreement allows us to increase the line of credit, at our discretion, up to another $25,000, for total availability of $50,000.  Borrowings under this credit facility are secured by all of our assets.  We have a $14,000 line of credit with HSBC, N.A. ("HSBC") secured by certain of our deposit accounts with HSBC.  Letters of credit outstanding on September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 were $17,161 and $13,328, respectively.  The outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2020 were issued by JP Morgan Chase and HSBC.  There were no other amounts outstanding on our credit facilities at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.  The borrowing rate under our JP Morgan Chase facility as of September 30,

20


 

2020 was the bank’s prime rate, or 3.25%.  Availability under the JP Morgan Chase and HSBC lines of credit was $21,839 and $21,672, respectively, at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.  We believe that cash generated from operations, combined with our investments and available financing capacity under our credit facility, will be adequate both to meet our cash needs for the immediate future and to support our growth strategies.

 

Orders and Backlog

 

Orders for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 were $34,974, net of a change order reduction of $1,264, compared with $32,552 for the same period last year.  Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting us to supply products and/or services.  Domestic orders were 46% of total orders, or $16,117, and international orders were 54% of total orders, or $18,857, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2020 when domestic orders were 33%, or $10,759, of total orders, and international orders were 67%, or $21,793, of total orders.  

During the first six months of fiscal 2021, orders were $46,442, compared with $47,641 for the same period of fiscal 2020.  Domestic orders were 42% of total orders, or $19,349, and international orders were 58% of total orders, or $27,093, in the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020 when domestic orders were 46%, or $21,916, of total orders, and international orders were 54%, or $25,725, of total orders.  

Backlog was $114,851 at September 30, 2020, compared with $107,220 on June 30, 2020, and $112,389 at March 31, 2020.  Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized.  Approximately 60% to 65% of orders currently in our backlog are expected to be converted to sales within one year.  The majority of the backlog that is expected to convert beyond twelve months is for the defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy.  At September 30, 2020, 37% of our backlog was attributable to equipment for refinery project work, 9% for chemical and petrochemical projects, 50% for defense (U.S. Navy) projects and 4% for other commercial and industrial applications.  At September 30, 2019, 32% of our backlog was attributable to equipment for refinery project work, 16% for chemical and petrochemical projects, 48% for U.S. Navy projects and 4% for power and other industrial applications.  We had two projects totaling $3,165 cancelled in fiscal 2020 and a third project of $654 cancelled in the first six months of fiscal 2021.  At September 30, 2020, we had two projects totaling $562 on hold.   

 

Outlook

 

Capital spending in the energy markets we serve began to decrease during the second half of fiscal 2020 and the pace of activity materially contracted as COVID-19 became a global pandemic in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.  The weak energy markets have continued into fiscal 2021 and are particularly evident in our North American markets.  As a result, our overall bidding activity has slowed.  There has also been a shift toward more opportunities in emerging markets.  At September 30, 2020, 50% of our backlog was for the defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy.  Our pipeline for the U.S. Navy continues to be robust, but quarterly fluctuations in order levels will occur due to the size and timing of release of the U.S. Navy projects.  Defense programs in backlog are planned to deliver $20 to $30 million per year of revenue in fiscal 2021 and beyond.

 

Near term opportunities in the global energy and petrochemical markets have slowed significantly due to the combined impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the geopolitical imbalance of supply.  Although we do not know when the COVID-19 pandemic will end or when the supply imbalance will subside, we continue to believe that the energy and petrochemical markets provide long-term growth opportunities for our products and services.  Coupled with our diversification strategy into the defense industry, we remain confident in our ability to achieve the long-term goal of significantly growing our business.  We have invested in capacity to serve our commercial customers as well as to expand the work we do for the U.S. Navy.  We intend to continue to look for organic growth opportunities as well as acquisitions or other business combinations that we believe will allow us to expand our presence in both our existing and ancillary markets.

 

Our expectations for sales and profitability in fiscal 2021 assume that we are able to operate our production facility in Batavia, New York at or near normal capacity for the last two quarters of fiscal 2021 without any additional COVID-19 related reductions in production capacity.  In our first quarter of fiscal 2021, our production capability was significantly reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our production was at approximately 50% of normal production across the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  Our production capacity returned to a normal level in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.  Our outlook is based upon the assumption that we are able to operate our production facility, have access to the global supply chain, including our subcontractors, with minimal or no disruptions, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or any other circumstances.

 

We project that approximately 60% to 65% of our $114,851 backlog at September 30, 2020 will convert to sales over the next twelve months.  We expect the remaining backlog will convert beyond twelve months, which includes a combination of U.S. Navy orders that have a long conversion cycle (up to five years) as well as certain commercial orders, the conversion of which has been extended by our customers.  We had two projects totaling $3,165 cancelled in fiscal 2020 and a third project of $654 cancelled in

21


 

the first six months of fiscal 2021.  At September 30, 2020, we had two projects totaling $562 on hold by our customers.  In addition, we have three projects which have been delayed by our customers due to COVID-19 and related energy market dynamics, and we therefore expect revenue of $4,118 to be delayed beyond fiscal 2021.  None of these amounts changed during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

We expect fiscal year 2021 revenue to be between $90,000 and $95,000, gross profit margin to be in the 22% to 24% range and SG&A expenses to be between $17,000 and $17,500.  We expect interest income to be de minimis, given the low market rates on short term cash and investments.  Our effective tax rate during fiscal 2021 is expected to be approximately 22%.  This outlook incorporates the very challenged first quarter which we experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and assumes that we are able to continue to operate near normal capacity for the last six months of fiscal 2021.

 

Cash flow was negative in the first six months of fiscal 2021, however, we expect positive cash flow from operations for the remainder of fiscal 2021.

Contingencies and Commitments

We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in or accompanying our products.  We are a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims.  The claims in our current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos lawsuits that named us as a defendant.  Such previous lawsuits either were dismissed when it was shown that we had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were settled by us for immaterial amounts.

As of September 30, 2020, we are subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which we are or may become a party cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, we do not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting estimates, some of which require management to make significant assumptions.  We believe that the most critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to labor hour estimates and establishment of operational milestones which are used to recognize revenue under the overtime recognition model, accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits.  For further information, refer to Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020.  

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2020 or March 31, 2020, other than letters of credit.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from market changes) to which we are exposed are foreign currency exchange rates, price risk, project cancellation risk and trade policy.

The assumptions applied in preparing the following qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding foreign currency exchange rate, price risk and project cancellation risk are based upon volatility ranges experienced by us in relevant historical periods, our current knowledge of the marketplace, and our judgment of the probability of future volatility based upon the historical trends and economic conditions of the markets in which we operate.

Foreign Currency

International consolidated sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 were 38% and 40%, respectively, of total sales compared with 27% and 29%, respectively, for the same periods of fiscal 2020.  Operating in markets throughout the world exposes us to movements in currency exchange rates.  Currency movements can affect sales in several ways, the foremost being our

22


 

ability to compete for orders against foreign competitors that base their prices on relatively weaker currencies.  Business lost due to competition for orders against competitors using a relatively weaker currency cannot be quantified.  In addition, cash can be adversely impacted by the conversion of sales made by us in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars.  In the first three and six months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, all sales by us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, for which we were paid, were denominated in the local currency of the respective subsidiary (U.S. dollars or Chinese RMB).  

We have limited exposure to foreign currency purchases.  In each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 2% of cost of products sold.  In the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 0% and 1% of cost of products sold, respectively.  At certain times, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange agreements to hedge our exposure against potential unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant sales and purchase contracts negotiated in foreign currencies.  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not used in the periods being reported on in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, we held no forward foreign currency contracts.

Price Risk

Operating in a global marketplace requires us to compete with other global manufacturers which, in some instances, benefit from lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions.  Although we believe that our customers differentiate our products on the basis of our manufacturing quality, responsive and flexible service, and engineering experience and excellence, among other things, such lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions mean that certain of our competitors are able to offer products similar to ours at lower prices.  The cost of metals and other materials used in our products can experience significant volatility, and as such, can impact our ability to reflect this volatility in our pricing.

 

Project Cancellation and Project Continuation Risk

 

Open orders are reviewed continuously through communications with customers.  If it becomes evident to us that a project is delayed well beyond its original shipment date, management will move the project into "placed on hold" (i.e. suspended) category.  Furthermore, if a project is cancelled by our customer, it is removed from our backlog.  We attempt to mitigate the risk of cancellation by structuring contracts with our customers to maximize the likelihood that progress payments made to us for individual projects cover the costs we have incurred.  As a result, we do not believe we have a significant cash exposure to projects which may be cancelled.  At September 30, 2020, we had two projects totaling $562 on hold by our customers.  

 

 

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Vice President-Finance & Administration and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) each have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on such evaluation, and as of such date, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President-Finance & Administration and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects.  

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our non-productive employees were working remotely during the majority of the first quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

 

Except as stated below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I – Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by global public health pandemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected if the COVID-19 pandemic, or another global health crisis, impacts our employees, suppliers, customers, financing sources or others’ ability to conduct business or negatively affects consumer and business confidence or the global economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected large segments of the global economy, including the markets we operate in, since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.  In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in late March 2020, we reduced staffing at our facility in Batavia, New York. We began the first quarter of fiscal 2021 at 10% of normal staffing capacity and gradually increased to normal capacity by early June 2020 while applying numerous new health and safety protocols for those working on site.

The pandemic and any additional preventative or protective actions that governments or we may take in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our business or our suppliers, distribution channels, and customers, including business shutdowns or disruptions for an indefinite period of time, reduced operations, restrictions on shipping, fabricating or installing products, reduced consumer demand or customers’ ability to make payments.  We have and may continue to experience additional operating costs due to increased challenges with our workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism or government orders), implementing further precautionary measures to protect the health of our workforce, increased project cancellations or projects put on hold, access to supplies, capital, and fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation). During the first quarter of fiscal 2021 we had two projects on hold, one project cancelled, and three projects delayed by our customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related energy market dynamics. Any resulting financial impact from the pandemic cannot be fully estimated at this time, but may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.  The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact continue to change rapidly and additional impacts that we are presently unaware of may arise.

5.Power of Attorney. The Pledger hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank as the Pledger's true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgor

 

 


 

 

 

but for the sole benefit of the Bank, to endorse in favor of the Bank any of the Collateral; execute and deliver instruments of assignment and/or orders for withdrawal; cause the transfer of any of the Collateral in such name as the Bank may, from time to time, determine; cause the issuance of certificates for book entry and/or uncertificated securities; provide notification in connection with book entry securities or general intangibles and/or provide instructions to the issuers of uncertificated securities or securities intermediaries, as necessary; to renew, extend or rollover any Collateral; and make demand and initiate actions to enforce any of the Obligations. The Bank may take such action with respect to the Collateral as the Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary to protect and preserve its interests in the Collateral. The Bank shall also have and may exercise at any time all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretion of the Pledgor with respect to and under the Collateral, provided, however, the Bank shall have no right until an Event of Default has occurred to exercise any voting rights available to the Pledgor at any time the Collateral is held by the Bank solely as pledgee hereunder. Except as limited above, all the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretion included in this paragraph may be exercised by the Bank whether or not any of the Obligations are then due and whether or not an Event of Default has occurred. All powers conferred upon Bank by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, all Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Collateral is released. The power of attorney shall not be affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of the Pledgor. The Bank shall not be liable for any act or omission to act pursuant to this Paragraph except for any act or omission to act which is caused by the Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

6.

Further Assurances. The Pledgor will from time to time execute and deliver to the Bank such documents, and take or cause to be taken, all such other further action, as the Bank may reasonably request in order to effect and confirm or vest more securely in the Bank all rights contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, to correct clerical errors) or to vest more fully in, or assure to the Bank the security interest in, the Collateral or to comply with applicable statute or law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor authorizes the Bank to file financing statements, continuation statements or amendments, and any such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction. The Bank may at any time and from time to time file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto which contain any information required by Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including whether the Pledger is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Pledgor. The Pledgor agrees to furnish any such information to the Bank promptly upon request. In addition, the Pledger shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Bank may reasonably request for the Bank (i) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for the Bank, (ii) to obtain "control" of any Collateral comprised of investment property or deposit accounts (as such terms are defined in the Code), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Bank's security interest in any of the Collateral and the preservation of its rights therein. The Pledgor hereby constitutes the Bank its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all filings required or so requested for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, all Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Collateral is released.

 

 

7.

Default. If an Event of Default shall occur, at the election of the Bank (but automatically in the case of an Insolvency Default), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand, except with respect to Obligations payable on demand, which shall be due and payable on demand, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred.

 

The Bank is hereby authorized, at its election, after an Event of Default or after demand, without any further demand or notice except to such extent as notice may be required by applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale and/or enforce and collect the Collateral (including, without limitation, the liquidation of deposit accounts, debt instruments or securities and the exercise of conversion rights with respect to convertible securities, whether or not such instruments or securities have matured and whether or not any penalties or other charges are imposed on account of such action); and the Bank may also exercise any and all other rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or which are otherwise accorded to it by applicable law, all as the Bank may determine. If

 

 


 

 

 

notice of a sale or other action by the Bank is required by applicable law, the Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days' written notice to the Pledgor, or the shortest period of written notice permitted by law, whichever is smaller, shall be sufficient notice; and that to the extent permitted by law, the Bank, its officers, attorneys and agents may bid and become purchasers at any such sale, if public, and may purchase at any private sale any of the Collateral that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market or which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations. Any sale (public or private) shall be free from any right of redemption, which the Pledgor hereby waives and releases. No purchaser at any sale (public or private) shall be responsible for the application of the purchase money. Any balance of the net proceeds of sale remaining after paying all Obligations of the Pledgor to the Bank shall be returned to the Pledgor or to such other party as may be legally entitled thereto; and if there is a deficiency, the Pledgor shall be responsible for the same, with interest. The Pledgor acknowledges that any exercise by the Bank of the Bank's rights upon default may be subject to compliance by the Bank with any statute, regulation, ordinance, directive or order of any Federal, state., municipal or any other governmental authority, and may impose, without limitation, any of the foregoing restricting the sale of securities. The Bank, in its sole discretion at any such sale, may restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intentions, and may impose, without limitation, a requirement that the persons making such purchases represent and agree, to the satisfaction of the Bank, that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The proceeds of any collection or of any sale or disposition of the Collateral held pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied towards the Obligations in such order and manner as the Bank determines in its sole discretion, any statute, custom or usage to the contrary notwithstanding.

8.Safe Custody and Exclusivity. The Bank shall have no duty as to the Collateral or protection of the Collateral or any income or distribution thereon, beyond the safe custody of such of the Collateral as may come into the possession of the Bank with the same due care that the bank with which the Bank would maintain its own property, and shall have no duty as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Bank's Rights and Remedies (as defined herein) may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Obligations.

 

9.

Indemnification. The Pledgor shall indemnify, defend and hold the Bank and any Bank Affiliate and their directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an "Indemnitee") harmless of and from any claim brought or threatened against any Indemnitee by the Pledgor, any guarantor or endorser of the Obligations, or any other person (as well as from attorneys' reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith) on account of the Bank's relationship with the Pledger, or any guarantor or endorser of the Obligations(each of which may be defended, compromised, settled or pursued by the Bank with counsel of the Bank's election, but at the expense of the Pledgor), except for any claim arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. The within indemnification shall survive payment of the Obligations, and/or any termination, release or discharge executed by the Bank in favor of the Pledgor.

 

 

10.

Waivers. The Pledgor waives notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment demand, presentment protest or notice of protest of the Obligations, and all other notices, consents to any renewals or extensions of time of payment thereof, and generally waives any and all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof. No course of dealing and no delay or omission of the Bank in exercising or enforcing any of its rights, powers, privileges, remedies, immunities or discretion (all of which are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Bank's Rights and Remedies") hereunder or under applicable law shall constitute a waiver thereof; and no waiver by the Bank of any default of the Pledgor hereunder or of any demand hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or any other demand hereunder. No term or provision hereof shall be waived, altered or modified except with the prior written consent of the Bank, which consent makes explicit reference to this Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no other agreement or transaction, of whatsoever nature, entered into between the Bank and the Pledgor at any time (whether before, during or after the effective date or term of this Agreement) shall be construed in any particular way as a waiver, modification or limitation of any of the Bank's Rights and Remedies under this Agreement (nor shall anything in this Agreement be construed as a waiver, modification or limitation of any of the Bank's Rights and Remedies under any such other agreement or transaction) but all the Bank's Rights and Remedies not only under the provisions of this Agreement but also under any such other agreement or transaction shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Bank at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Bank in its sole discretion may determine.

 

 

11.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or portion of such provision or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement (or the remainder of such provision) and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

Section 3.Shares of Stock Subject to the Plan.

 

(a)

In General. The maximum number of shares of Stock which shall be available for the grant or issuance of Awards under the Plan during its term shall not exceed 310,167, plus the number of remaining shares of Stock not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the Prior Plan on the Effective Date (the “Remaining Number of Available Shares”), plus any shares of Stock that are subject to awards granted under the Prior Plan that expire, are forfeited or canceled or terminate for any other reason after the Effective Date without the issuance of shares. Such amounts shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). Any shares of Stock related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares shall be available again for grant under the Plan. Except for expired, forfeited or cancelled shares, the Plan is intended to restrict the “recycling” of shares of Stock back into the Plan; this means that shares of Stock exchanged or withheld to pay the aggregate Exercise Price of an Option or to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award count against the numerical limits of the Plan. The shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares, including shares purchased in open market or private transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Stock that are subject to outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan that are used to pay the exercise price of an option or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award under the Prior Plan after the Effective Date shall not become available under the Plan. If the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders on the Effective Date, no awards may be granted under the Prior Plan on or after the Effective Date.

 

(b)

Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, issuance of warrants, rights or debentures, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, cash dividend, property dividend, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase of shares or any other change in corporate structure which in the judgment of the Committee materially affects the value of shares, then the Committee shall determine the substitutions or adjustments to the maximum number of shares available for the grant or issuance of Awards under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), the number and class of shares and the Exercise Price set forth in any Award theretofore granted, the limits in Section 5(c), or any other affected terms of an Award or the Plan as the Committee, in its sole discretion and without liability to any person, deems equitable or appropriate. In making an adjustment to an Award pursuant to this Section 3(b), unless the Committee determines another adjustment to be in the best interests of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, the Committee shall attempt to make the adjustments as follows:  (i) for an ISO, in a manner that would not cause the ISO to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code; (ii) for an NQSO, in a manner that would not be treated as a “modification” of the NQSO under Section 409A; and (iii) for any Award, in a manner which does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b‑3 under the Exchange Act for such Award.

4

 


 

 

 

(c)

Substitute Awards.  The number of shares of Stock covered by a Substitute Award or to which a Substitute Award relates shall not be counted against the maximum number of shares of Stock available for the grant or issuance of Awards under the Plan.

any acceleration of the exercisability, vesting or payment of, or the lapse of restrictions or deemed satisfaction of any performance objective with respect to, an Award in connection with a Change in Control may occur only if (1) the Change in Control occurs and (2) either the employment or service of the Participant is terminated (i.e., “double-trigger”) or the acquirer does not agree to the assumption or substitution of outstanding Awards; and

 

(B)

with respect to any Award that is earned or vests based upon achievement of one or more performance objectives, unless otherwise required by an employment agreement or other agreement, the amount deemed earned or vested in connection with the Change in Control or associated termination of employment or services shall be based upon the level of actual achievement of the performance objectives and/or the period of time elapsed in the performance period, each as of the applicable date;

 

(vii)

subject to Section 4(d), grant Awards in replacement of Awards previously granted under the Plan or any other executive compensation plan of the Corporation;

5

 


 

 

 

(viii)

determine the terms and provisions of any Award Agreements entered into hereunder, including, a provision in an Award Agreement that requires, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the cancellation for cash of outstanding vested Awards or the issuance of comparable replacement Awards granted by the successor entity in such event; and

 

(ix)

take any and all other action it deems necessary or advisable for the proper operation or administration of the Plan, including making factual determinations.

 

(c)

Delegation. Subject to applicable law, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers under the Plan to any one or more of its members, the CEO or other senior members of management as the Committee deems appropriate and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any such person or persons, provided that any such allocation or delegation be in writing; provided, however, that only the Committee, or other committee consisting of two or more Non-Employee Directors may select and grant Awards to Eligible Individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Committee may revoke any such allocation or delegation at any time for any reason with or without prior notice.

 

(d)

Repricing. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3(b), the Committee shall not reprice, adjust or amend the Exercise Price of Options previously awarded to any Participant, whether through amendment, cancellation and replacement grant, or any other means, unless such action is approved by the stockholders of the Corporation. For purposes of the Plan, the term “reprice” shall mean:  (i) the reduction, directly or indirectly, in the Exercise Price of an outstanding Option by amendment, cancellation or substitution; (ii) any action that is treated as a repricing under United States generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) cancelling an Option in exchange for another Option or other equity security (unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction); and (iv) any other action that is treated as a repricing by the rules or regulations of the Exchange. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, an Option may not be surrendered in consideration of or exchanged for cash, other Awards, or a new Option having an Exercise Price below that of the Option which was surrendered or exchanged, unless the exchange occurs in connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction, or such action is approved by the stockholders of the Corporation. Any amendment or repeal of this Section 4(d) shall require the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation.

Section 5.Awards.

 

(a)

Eligibility. All Eligible Individuals are eligible to participate in the Plan; provided, however, only Employees are eligible to receive ISOs. The Committee shall determine and designate from time to time those Eligible Individuals who are to be granted Awards, the type of each Award granted and the number of shares of Stock subject to each such Award.

 

(b)

In General. Awards may, at the Committee’s sole discretion, be granted in the form of Options pursuant to Section 6, Stock Awards pursuant to Section 7, Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 8 or a combination thereof. Each Award shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations of the Plan and the Award Agreement for such Award. Awards under a particular Section of the Plan need not be uniform and Awards under two or more Sections may be combined into a single Award Agreement. Any combination of Awards may be granted at one time and on more than one occasion to the same Eligible Individual.

 

(c)

Award Limitation. Subject to adjustment as provided by Section 3(b), and notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan to the contrary:

 

(i)

the maximum number of shares of Stock for which Awards may be granted to any Participant during a calendar year is 60,000;

6

 


 

 

 

(ii)

the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Awards may be granted to all Participants during any continuous 36-month period is 3% of the Corporation’s total number of authorized shares of Stock as of the beginning of such period;

 

(iii)

the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of ISOs is 310,167, plus the Remaining Number of Available Shares;

 

(iv)

the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time an ISO is granted) of the Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year under all plans of the Corporation and any Subsidiary shall not exceed $100,000; and

 

(v)

the aggregate grant date fair value of NQSOs, Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units granted to a non-Employee Director during any calendar year shall not exceed $50,000, and the total fees paid to a non-Employee Director in cash for services in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

 

(d)

Foreign Jurisdictions. With respect to Eligible Individuals who reside or work outside of the United States, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, amend the terms of the Plan or Awards with respect to such Eligible Individuals in order to conform such terms with the provisions of local law and practice or otherwise as deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee.

 

(e)

Exclusion from Minimum Vesting and Continued Employment Requirements. Awards granted under Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 shall be subject to the minimum vesting period and continued employment or service requirement specified for the Award by such Section, as applicable, except that:  (i) up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a) may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under Section 6, Section 7 or Section 8 without regard for any minimum exercisability or vesting period requirements set forth in such Section; and (ii) continued employment or service for exercisability or vesting shall not be required as (A) the Committee may determine or permit otherwise in the event of death, Disability, retirement or other termination of a Participant, or, subject to Section 4(b)(vi), in connection with a corporate transaction (which includes but is not limited to a divestiture, spin-off, split-off, asset transfer, outsourcing or joint venture formation) (each such event, a “Defined Event”), and (B) may be required or otherwise be deemed advisable by the Committee in connection with Substitute Awards.

 

(f)

Recoupment.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation will be entitled to the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated with respect thereto) or Exchange listing conditions, in each case as in effect from time to time, to recoup compensation of whatever kind paid under the Plan by the Corporation at any time.

Section 6.Stock Options.

 

(a)

In General. Awards may be granted in the form of Options. Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: ISOs and NQSOs. The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to grant to an Eligible Individual either ISOs, NQSOs, or both, but shall clearly designate the nature of each Option at the time of grant. Only Employees may receive ISOs.

 

(b)

Terms of Options. Subject to the limits in Section 5, if applicable, an Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and at such times and during such periods as may be determined by the Committee not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. In addition to any such

7

 


 

 

 

terms and conditions, the following terms and conditions shall apply to all Options granted under the Plan:

 

(i)

the Exercise Price of an Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Stock on the date such Option is granted, provided, however, that the Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of such Fair Market Value for any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder; provided that an Option that is a Substitute Award may be granted with an Exercise Price lower than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date such Option is granted if such Option is granted in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 422 of the Code in the case of a Substitute Award for an option that is an ISO, or the provisions of Section 409A in the case of a Substitute Award for an option that is an NQSO;

 

(ii)

the term of each Option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that no Option shall be exercisable after more than ten years from the date such Option is granted, and provided further that no ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall be exercisable after more than five years from the date of grant; and

 

(iii)

Options shall not vest for at least one year after the date of grant, except as (A) the Committee may determine or permit otherwise in the event of a Defined Event, (B) may be required or otherwise be deemed advisable by the Committee in connection with Substitute Awards, or (C) otherwise permitted by Section 5(e).

 

(c)

Exercise of Options. Except as provided in Section 10:  (i) no Option granted to an Employee shall be exercised unless at the time of such exercise the Participant is then an Employee; and (ii) no Option granted to a non-Employee Director shall be exercised unless at the time of such exercise the Participant is then a non-Employee Director. Upon exercise, the aggregate Exercise Price of an Option may be paid in cash, by directing the Corporation to withhold shares of Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option with a Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the aggregate Exercise Price or, to the extent permitted by the Committee, by tendering, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Stock, a combination of the foregoing, or such other consideration as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee shall establish appropriate methods for accepting shares of Stock, whether restricted or unrestricted, and may impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on the use of shares of Stock to exercise an Option. Options granted under the Plan may also be exercised by way of a broker-assisted stock option exercise program, if any, provided such program is available at the time of the Participant’s exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provision of any Award Agreement, a Participant may not pay the aggregate Exercise Price of an Option using shares of Stock if there is a substantial likelihood that the use of such form of payment would result in adverse accounting treatment to the Corporation.

Section 7.Stock Awards.

 

(a)

In General. Awards may be granted in the form of Stock Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may grant Stock Awards of unrestricted shares of Stock only to non-Employee Directors and only if made in lieu of cash fees. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Stock Awards shall be granted in such numbers, at such times and subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine.

 

(b)

Restrictions. Subject to the limits in Section 5, if applicable, the Committee may condition, restrict or limit the grant or vesting of a Stock Award on the achievement of enumerated performance objectives or, on the Employee’s or non-Employee Director’s continued employment or service to the Corporation or a Subsidiary through a specified period of time, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.  Except as provided in Section 7(a) with respect to Awards of unrestricted shares of Stock to non-Employee Directors, Stock Awards shall not vest for at least one year after the date of grant, except as (A) the Committee may determine or permit otherwise in the event of a Defined

8

 


 

 

 

Event, (B) may be required or otherwise be deemed advisable by the Committee in connection with Substitute Awards, or (C) otherwise permitted by Section 5(e).

 

(c)

Rights as Stockholders. During the period in which any shares of Stock received pursuant to a Stock Award are subject to any restrictions, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deny the Participant to whom such shares have been awarded all or any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares, including, but not by way of limitation, limiting the right to vote such shares or the right to receive dividends on such shares.

 

(d)

Dividends.  Dividends may, at the Committee’s discretion, be held in escrow (with or without the accrual of interest), or be reinvested into additional shares of Stock subject to the same vesting or performance conditions as the underlying Stock Award.  

Section 8.Restricted Stock Units.

 

(a)

In General.  Awards may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units in such numbers, at such times and subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

 

(b)

Vesting and Payment.  Subject to the limits in Section 5, if applicable, the Committee may condition, restrict or limit the vesting or payment of Restricted Stock Units on the achievement of enumerated performance objectives or, on the Employee’s or non-Employee Director’s continued employment or service to the Corporation or a Subsidiary through a specified period of time consistent with the terms of the Plan.  Restricted Stock Units shall not vest for at least one year after the date of grant, except as (A) the Committee may determine or permit otherwise in the event of a Defined Event, (B) may be required or otherwise be deemed advisable by the Committee in connection with Substitute Awards, or (C) otherwise permitted by Section 5(e).

 

(c)

Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock Units.  A Participant receiving Restricted Stock Units shall not possess voting rights, nor the right to receive cash dividends, with respect to such Restricted Stock Units or the shares of Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Units unless and until the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the payment to the Participant of shares of Stock.

 

(d)

Dividend Equivalents.  If a right to dividend equivalents for Restricted Stock Units is included in the Award Agreement, then dividend equivalents in an amount equal to any cash dividends declared and paid with respect to the shares of Stock shall be paid to the Participant at the time specified in the Award Agreement.  Dividend equivalents may, at the Committee’s discretion, be held in escrow (with or without the accrual of interest), or be reinvested into additional shares of Stock subject to the same vesting or performance conditions as the underlying Restricted Stock Unit.

Section 9.Payment of Awards.

 

(a)

In General. Absent a Plan or Award Agreement provision to the contrary, payment of Awards may, at the discretion of the Committee, be made in cash, Stock, a combination of cash and Stock, or any other form of property as the Committee shall determine. In addition, payment of Awards may include such terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, as the Committee deems appropriate, including, in the case of Awards paid in the form of Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions; provided, however, such terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations are not inconsistent with the Plan.

 

(b)

Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the minimum amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld (or such higher amount that would not have an adverse accounting effect) with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay to

9

 


 

 

 

the Corporation such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. The Committee may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an Award by withholding from any payment of shares of Stock due as a result of such Award, or by permitting the Participant to deliver to the Corporation, shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of such required withholding taxes (or such other amount that would not have an adverse accounting effect). Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of any Award Agreement, a Participant may not pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld using shares of Stock if there is a substantial likelihood that the use of such form of payment would result in adverse accounting treatment to the Corporation.

Section 10.Effect of Termination of Relationship with the Corporation.

 

(a)

Death. Unless otherwise decided by the Committee and provided in an Award Agreement, and subject to Section 11(j), upon a Participant’s death prior to the complete exercise or vesting of an Award granted to him or her under the Plan, then:

(A)

by the beneficiary designated by the Participant in a writing submitted to the Corporation prior to the Participant’s death, or in the absence of same, by the Participant’s estate or by or on behalf of such person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights pass under his or her will or the laws of descent and distribution;

 

(B)

to the extent that the Participant would have been entitled to exercise the Option at the date of his or her death and subject to all of the conditions on exercise imposed by the Plan and the Award Agreement; and

 

(C)

prior to the expiration of the term of the Option.

 

(ii)

any unvested restricted shares of a Stock Award and any unvested Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at the time of his or her death shall be forfeited.

 

(b)

Disability. Unless otherwise decided by the Committee and provided in an Award Agreement, and subject to Section 11(j), upon a Participant’s termination of employment or service due to Disability prior to the complete exercise or vesting of an Award granted to him or her under the Plan, then:

 

(i)

the vested portion of any remaining Options held by the Participant at the time of his or her termination of employment or service due to Disability may be exercised in whole or in part within one year after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service due to Disability and then only:

 

(A)

by the Participant or his or her legal representative;

 

(B)

to the extent that the Participant would have been entitled to exercise the Option on the date of his or her termination of employment or service due to Disability, subject to all of the conditions on exercise imposed by the Plan and the Award Agreement; and

 

(C)

prior to the expiration of the term of the Option.

10

 


 

 

 

(ii)

any unvested restricted shares of a Stock Award and any unvested Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at the time of his or her termination of employment or service due to Disability shall be forfeited.

 

(c)

Other Termination. Unless otherwise decided by the Committee and provided in an Award Agreement, and subject to Section 11(j), upon the termination of a Participant’s employment or term of directorship with the Corporation or a Subsidiary for a reason other than the Participant’s death or termination of employment or service due to Disability and prior to the complete exercise or vesting of an Award granted to him or her under the Plan, then:

 

(i)

the vested portion of any remaining Options held by the Participant may be exercised in whole or in part within three months after the date of the Participant’s termination and then only:

 

(A)

by the Participant or his or her legal representative;

 

(B)

to the extent that the Participant would have been entitled to exercise the Option on the date of his or her termination, subject to all of the conditions on exercise imposed by the Plan and the Award Agreement; and

 

(C)

prior to the expiration of the term of the Option.

 

(ii)

any unvested restricted shares of a Stock Award and any unvested Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at the time of his or her other termination shall be forfeited.

 

(d)

Treatment of Intra-Corporation Transfers. In the case of an Employee, the transfer between the Corporation and any Subsidiary shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment or directorship for purposes of this Section 10.

Section 11.General Provisions.

 

(a)

Award Agreement. Each Award grant shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement containing such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall approve. The terms and provisions of Award Agreements may vary among Participants and among different Awards granted to the same Participant. Any Stock Award granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, with such restrictive legends and/or stop transfer instructions as the Committee deems appropriate.

 

(b)

Substitute Awards.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the terms of Substitute Awards may vary from the terms set forth in the Plan to the extent the Committee deems appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards for which they are granted in substitution.

 

(c)

No Right to Further Awards or Continued Service. The grant of an Award in any year shall not give the Participant any right to similar grants in future years or any right to continue such Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries. All Participants shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan were not in effect.

 

(d)

No Right, Title, or Interest in Corporation Assets. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder as a result of participation in the Plan until the date of issuance of a stock certificate in his or her name or the entry on his or her behalf of an uncertificated book position on the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar for such Stock or other instrument of ownership, if any, and, in the case of restricted shares of Stock, such rights are granted to the Participant under the Plan. To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Corporation under

11

 


 

 

 

the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Corporation and the Participant shall not have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Corporation. All of the Awards granted under the Plan shall be unfunded and the Corporation shall not be required to establish any fund or make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award. Except as provided in Section 3(b), no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities, other property or other forms of consideration, or any combination thereof) for which the record date is prior to the date such book entry is made or a stock certificate or other instrument of ownership, if any, is issued.

 

(e)

Nonassignability. No Award or other right under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, except as provided in Section 10, an Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant.

 

(f)

Regulatory Approvals and Listings. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or Award Agreements made pursuant thereto, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Stock, or make any entry on a Participant’s behalf of an uncertificated book position on the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar for the Stock or other instrument of ownership, if any, under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

 

(i)

the listing, or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such shares on the Exchange;

 

(ii)

any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or other qualification which the Board shall, in its absolute discretion and upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable;

 

(iii)

the obtaining of any other consent approval or permit from any state or federal government agency which the Board shall, in its absolute discretion and upon the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable; and

 

(iv)

the execution by the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative) of such written representation that the Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable to the effect that the shares then being purchased are being purchased for investment with no present intention of reselling or otherwise disposing of such shares in any manner which may result in a violation of the Securities Act and the placement upon certificates for such shares of an appropriate legend in connection therewith.

 

(g)

Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except as superseded by applicable federal law, without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions.

 

(h)

Construction of Language. Whenever appropriate in the Plan, words used in the singular may be read in the plural, words used in the plural may be read in the singular, and words importing the masculine gender may be read as referring equally to the feminine or the neuter. Any reference to a Section number shall refer to a Section of this Plan unless otherwise indicated.

 

(i)

Headings. The headings of Sections are included solely for convenience of reference. If there is any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.

 

(j)

Section 409A. The Awards granted under the Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), and the Plan and Award Agreements will be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent.  References to a

12

 


 

 

 

Participant’s “termination of employment” and similar terms used in the Plan or an Award Agreement mean, to the extent necessary to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, the date that the Participant first incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if at the time of a Participant’s separation from service, the Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, and the payment of an Award as a result of such separation from service is required to be delayed by six months pursuant to Section 409A, then the Corporation will make such payment on the date that is the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation and its Subsidiaries make no representations that the Awards or the grant, vesting or payment thereof provided under the Plan or any award Agreement comply with or are exempt from Section 409A, and in no event shall the Corporation or its Subsidiaries be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by a Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

 

(k)

No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Corporation and its directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to the tax treatment of any Award, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.

 

(l)

Amendment or Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(d), the Board may, at any time, alter, amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall adversely affect the rights of Participants to Awards previously granted hereunder and, provided further, however, that any stockholder approval necessary or desirable in order to comply with tax, securities, or other applicable laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, the listing requirements of the Exchange, shall be obtained in the manner required therein.

 

(m)

Notices. Any communication required or permitted to be given under the Plan, including any notice, direction, designation, instruction, objection or waiver, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at such time as it is delivered personally or five days after mailing if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address listed below, or at such other address as one such party may by written notice specify to the other party:

 

(i)

If to the Corporation:

Graham Corporation

20 Florence Avenue

Batavia, New York 14020

Attention: Chief Financial Officer

 

(ii)

If to a Participant, to the Participant’s address as shown in the Corporation’s personnel records.

 

(n)

Electronic Delivery and Signatures.  Any reference in the Plan or an Award Agreement to a written document includes without limitation any document delivered electronically or posted on the Corporation’s or a Subsidiary’s intranet or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Corporation, a Subsidiary or any agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary.  The Committee and any Participant may use facsimile and PDF signatures in signing any Award Agreement, in exercising any Option, or in any other written document in connection with the Plan’s administration.  The Committee and each Participant are bound by facsimile and PDF signatures, and acknowledge that the other party relies on facsimile and PDF signatures.

13

 


 

 

 

(o)

Duration of Plan. The Plan was approved by the Board on June 9, 2020, and will become effective on August 11, 2020, upon the date of the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation at the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders. ISOs may not be granted under the Plan after August 11, 2030, but ISOs theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.
