CORONADO GLOBAL RESOURCES INC.
2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

FORM OF
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (LONG TERM INCENTIVE GRANT)

 

This Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”) evidences an award of performance stock units (“PSUs”) by Coronado Global Resources Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Coronado”) under the Coronado Global Resources Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms not defined in the Award Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.  A copy of the Plan is attached to this Award Agreement.

 

Name of Grantee:

 

                  (the “Grantee”).

 

 

 

Grant Date:

 

                  (the “Grant Date”).

 

 

 

 

 

The Grantee does not have to pay anything for the grant of PSUs.

 

 

 

Number of PSUs:

 

                  (the “Target Number of PSUs”). The number of PSUs that will actually vest will range from 0% to 100% of the Target Number of PSUs and be determined based on achievement of the Performance Metrics below.

 

 

 

 

 

Each PSU represents an unfunded, unsecured promise by Coronado to deliver to the Grantee one CDI (and any additional distributions as described below) on the Settlement Date. In accordance with Sections 1.3 and 1.5 of the Plan, in the discretion of the Committee, in lieu of all or any portion of the CDIs otherwise deliverable in respect of the Grantee’s PSUs, the Company may deliver to the Grantee an equivalent value in cash or Shares (or a combination thereof).

 

 

 

Performance Period:

 

January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021.

 

 

 

Testing Date:

 

Achievement of the Performance Metrics will be assessed following release of Coronado’s audited full year financial results for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 (generally no later than March 31, 2022) (the “Testing Date”). The Grantee will be advised of the number of earned PSUs (which will vest upon employment through the Vesting Date), and the remainder of PSUs will immediately lapse and be forfeited for no consideration.

 

 

 

Vesting Date:

 

PSUs shall vest on the one year anniversary of the Testing Date and no later than March 31, 2023 (the “Vesting Date”).

 

 

 

 

 

The PSUs will only vest if the Grantee is, and has been, continuously employed by the Company from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date.

 


 

 

 

Unless the Board determines otherwise, if the Grantee ceases employment with the Company prior to the Vesting Date: (1) in circumstances justifying the Grantee’s termination for Cause or due to the Grantee’s resignation, then the Grantee’s unvested PSUs will lapse and be forfeited for no consideration; and (2) by reason of death, Disability, termination without Cause, Retirement or other circumstances approved by the Board, a number of the Grantee’s PSUs prorated from January 1, 2019 through the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment will remain eligible to vest on the Vesting Date subject to satisfaction of the Performance Metrics and will be tested in the ordinary course. Any such PSUs that vest following testing will be settled on the Settlement Date (as defined below). The remainder of the PSUs will lapse and be forfeited for no consideration.

 

 

 

 

 

Unless the Board determines otherwise, upon a Change in Control that occurs during the Performance Period, a number of the Grantee’s PSUs prorated from January 1, 2019 through the date of the Change in Control will vest subject to satisfaction of the Performance Metrics measured at the time of the Change in Control as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and any PSUs that do not vest in accordance with this sentence shall be forfeited for no consideration upon the Change in Control. Any vested but unsettled PSUs will be automatically settled on a Change in Control, unless the Board determines otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the orderly sell down of CDIs or Shares by Coronado Group LLC will not be considered a Change in Control unless it amounts to an event in Section 1.2.11(b) of the Plan.

 

 

 

Performance Metrics:

 

The number of PSUs that will be earned at the end of the Performance Period (or, if earlier, through the date of a Change in Control) will equal the sum of (i) the Relative TSR PSUs, plus (ii) the Scorecard PSUs (in each case, as defined below) (the “Total Earned PSUs”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the total number of PSUs vesting on the Vesting Date exceed the Target Number of PSUs.

 

 

 

 

 

Relative TSR (25% weighting)

 

 

 

 

 

The “Relative TSR PSUs” will equal the product of (i) the Target Number of PSUs multiplied by (ii) 25% (the weighting of Metric 1) multiplied by (iii) the Percentage of PSUs Earned, as calculated based on the table below.

Relative TSR compares Coronado’s TSR to members of the company peer group using standard Microsoft Excel percentile treatment with the Company excluded from the company peer group. Relative TSR for this purpose uses a “percentile rank” measurement in which payout percentage is determined dependent on the Company’s rank compared against the comparator group.

 

 

 

 

 

TSR represents the total return on a company’s common stock to an investor (stock price appreciation plus dividends). For this purpose, TSR is determined as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

TSR = (Change in CDI Price + Dividends Paid) / Beginning CDI Price

 

 

 

 

 

Beginning CDI Price: Average closing price of CDIs over the 30 trading days immediately prior to the first day of the performance period (adjusted for dividend distributions and stock splits).

 

 

 

 

 

Ending CDI Price: Average closing price of CDIs over the last 30 trading days of the performance period (adjusted for dividend distributions and stock splits).

 

 

 

 

 

Change in CDI Price: Difference between the Beginning CDI Price and the Ending CDI Price.

 

 

 

 

 

Dividends Paid: Dividends shall be treated as though they are reinvested on the ex-dividend date based on the closing price of CDIs on that date.

 

 

 

 

 

For purposes of the Relative TSR performance metric, the peer group shall be as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

[TSR Peer Group to be included]

 

 

 

 

 

Scorecard (75% weighting)

 

 

 

 

 

The “Scorecard PSUs” will vest based on the level of achievement of the performance metrics set out in the scorecard advised to the Grantee

separately.

 

 

 

Settlement Date:

 

No later than 30 days after the Vesting Date, Coronado will allocate to the Grantee one CDI or, at the discretion of the Committee, deliver to the Grantee an amount in cash or Shares (or a combination thereof) with a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of a CDI on the settlement date in respect of any PSU that vests, in each case subject to applicable withholding tax (the date of such allocation or payment, the “Settlement Date”). If the Board determines to allocate Shares to the Grantee, the number of Shares will be rounded to the nearest whole number of Shares.

 

 

 

Distributions:

 

On the Settlement Date, Coronado will also allocate to the Grantee additional CDIs or, at the discretion of the Committee, deliver to the Grantee an amount in cash or Shares (or a combination thereof) in respect of the number of any PSUs that vest. The number of additional CDIs or Shares to be granted or the value of the cash payment will be equal to any cash dividends or other distributions (other than cash dividends or other distributions pursuant to which the PSUs were adjusted pursuant to Section 1.6 of the Plan) paid on CDIs allocated in respect of vested PSUs over the period from the end of the Performance Period to the Settlement Date (assuming such distributions were reinvested in additional CDIs at the then Fair Market Value of CDIs on the ex-dividend date) (including for this purpose any CDIs which would have been delivered on the Settlement Date but for being withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations).

 

 

 

U.S. Securities Laws Restrictions:

 

Grantee understands and agrees that any Shares and/or CDIs (including Shares underlying CDIs) issued under this Award will be subject to resale restrictions under U.S. securities laws. These restrictions are set forth in the share legend contained in Annex A hereto. The Company intends to remove these restrictions as soon as practicable and advise Grantee once they have been lifted, but these resale restrictions will last at least one year from the date of the completion of the Company’s initial public offering of CDIs on the Australian Securities Exchange. If you have any questions regarding these restrictions, please contact Rick Rose **.

 

 

 

All Other Terms:

 

As set forth in the Plan.

 

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  Except as otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, the Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the PSUs.  In the event that any provision of the Award Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the terms of the Award Agreement will control.  Except as specifically provided herein, in the event that any provision of this Award Agreement is inconsistent with any employment agreement between the Grantee and Coronado (“Employment Agreement”), the terms of the Employment Agreement will control.  By accepting this Award, the Grantee agrees to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
