Frequently Asked Questions
  Is a provision in a plan that generally allows for a plan administrator to "modify or amend" an award sufficient to permit a repricing or option exchange without shareholder approval absent any additional, specific authority?
Identification Number 225
No. An option repricing or exchange based merely on the authority to modify or amend outstanding awards would not be permitted without shareholder approval. This is the type of general authority that IM-5635-1 indicates would not obviate the need for shareholder approval.
 
Generally, when preparing plans and presenting them for shareholder approval, companies should strive to make plan terms easy to understand. In that regard, it is recommended that plans meant to permit repricing use explicit terminology to make this clear.
