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

(e) At the Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (the “Company”) 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 3, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan), which previously had been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) subject to stockholder approval. The 2022 Plan replaces the Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and is largely based on the Prior Plan, but with updates to the available shares and other administrative changes.

 

Consistent with the Prior Plan, the purposes of the 2022 Plan are to: (i) to align the interests of the Company’s stockholders and the recipients of awards under the 2022 Plan by increasing the proprietary interest of such recipients in the Company’s growth and success, (ii) to advance the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining directors, officers, other employees and independent contractors, and (iii) to motivate such persons to act in the long-term best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

Under the 2022 Plan, the Company may grant: (i) nonqualified stock options; (ii) incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended); (iii) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (iv) restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards (“Stock Awards”); and (v) performance awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2022 Plan, the number of shares of Company common stock authorized for grants under the 2022 Plan is 3,300,000 shares plus the number of shares that remained available for future grant under the Prior Plan as of the effectiveness of the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan’s share limit will be reduced by the aggregate number of shares of Company common stock which become subject to outstanding options, outstanding free-standing SARs, outstanding Stock Awards and outstanding performance awards denominated in shares of Company common stock.

 

The foregoing description of the 2022 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2022 Plan, which was filed as Appendix B to the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2022.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(a) The Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 3, 2022.

 

(b) At the Annual Meeting, stockholders voted on the following matters: (i) election of three directors to serve as Class II directors for a term of three years expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (ii) ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2022; (iii) approval of, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers; and (iv) approval of the 2022 Plan.
