Exhibit 10.8
PHANTOM SHARE AGREEMENT
PHANTOM SHARE AGREEMENT by and among Monsanto Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Pharmacia Corporation, a Delaware corporation formerly known as Monsanto Company ("Pharmacia"), which is the sole shareholder of the Company, and Hendrick A. Verfaillie (the "Executive"), dated as of the 1st day of September, 2000.
WHEREAS, the Executive is an executive employee of Pharmacia; and
WHEREAS, Pharmacia and the Executive are parties to an Employment Agreement dated as of April 25, 1997 (the "Current Employment Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the separation of the agricultural and pharmaceutical businesses of Pharmacia and its subsidiaries, the Executive has agreed to become an employee of the Company; and
WHEREAS, in that connection, the Company, Pharmacia and the Executive wish to replace the Current Employment Agreement with the new arrangement provided for in this Phantom Share Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Effect on Current Employment Agreement. (a) Effective as of the date of the initial public offering of the Shares (the "Effective Date"), the Current Employment Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. If the initial public offering of the Shares does not occur on or before March 31, 2001, or if the Company publicly announces before that date that it is no longer contemplating making an initial public offering of the Shares, then this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Current Employment Agreement shall remain in effect.
(b) Effective no later than the Effective Date, the Executive shall become the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall have the authority, duties and responsibilities set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement and the By-Laws of the Company.
2. Grant of Phantom Shares. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Company shall establish a bookkeeping account for the Executive (the "Account"), to which it shall from time to time credit hypothetical shares (the "Phantom Shares") of the common stock of the Company (the "Shares"). The initial number of Phantom Shares (which may include a fraction) credited to the Account shall equal the number of shares and fractions thereof determined by dividing (x) $7,231,000 (the "Initial Value") by (y) the initial public offering price of the Shares. {PAGE} 2 3. Adjustments to Account. Whenever a dividend or distribution is declared with respect to the common stock of the Company with a record date after the Effective Date and at a time when Phantom Shares remain in the Account, an additional number of Phantom Shares shall be credited to the Account equal to the number of shares and having a Share Value as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Committee) of such dividend. In the event of any change in corporate capitalization such as a stock split, any corporate transaction such as a merger, consolidation, separation, spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of reorganization in Section 368 of the Code), or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Committee shall make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares represented by the Phantom Shares, if any, as it may determine to be appropriate or necessary to preserve the value thereof.
4. Vesting, Forfeiture and Payment of Account. (a) Performance Goal. As soon as reasonably practicable after December 31, 2001, the Committee shall determine and certify whether or not the Performance Goal has been met, and if it has not been met, then the Executive shall forfeit all rights to the Account unless it has previously vested and been paid as provided below in this Section 4.
(b) Vesting On October 1, 2002. If the Executive remains an employee of the Company or any member of the Affiliated Group that includes the Company as of October 1, 2002, and the Committee has certified that the Performance Goal has been met, then the balance in the Account shall vest as of October 1, 2002.
(c) Termination of Employment.
(i) The balance in the Account shall vest as of the date of the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company and the other members of the Affiliated Group that includes the Company, if such termination is the result of the Executive's death, Disability, Termination without Cause or Termination for Good Reason, and
(A) such termination occurs before December 31, 2001; or
(B) such termination occurs on or after December 31, 2001 but before October 1, 2002, and the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been met.
(ii) The balance in the Account shall not vest if the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company and the other members of the Affiliated Group that includes the Company,
-2- {PAGE} 3 (A) occurs before December 31, 2001 for any other reason than death, Disability, Termination without Cause, or Termination for Good Reason; or
(B) occurs on or after December 31, 2001 but before October 1, 2002, and the Committee fails to certify that the Performance Goal has been met,
and then in either case the Executive shall forfeit all rights to the Account unless it has previously vested and been paid as provided below in this Section 4.
(d) Change of Control. If there occurs a Monsanto Change of Control before December 31, 2001 and the Executive remains an employee of the Company or any member of the Affiliated Group that includes the Company as of the date of the Monsanto Change of Control, the balance in the Account shall vest on the date of the Monsanto Change of Control. If there occurs a Pharmacia Change of Control before December 31, 2001 followed by a Second Trigger, and the Executive remains an employee of the Company or any member of the Affiliated Group that includes the Company as of the date of the Second Trigger, the balance in the Account shall vest on the date of the Second Trigger.
(e) Payment of Account. Whenever the balance in the Account vests as provided above, the Company shall pay to the Executive, in a single lump sum cash payment, an amount equal to the number of Phantom Shares credited to the Account times the Share Value, each determined as of the date of vesting; provided, that if the Account has vested pursuant to Section 4(c), the amount of such payment shall in no event be less than the Initial Value. Such payment shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 30 days, after the last to occur of (i) the date on which such vesting occurs, (ii) the date on which the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been met, if such certification is a condition to such vesting, and (iii) the date on which the Company obtains the shareholder approval required by Section 5, unless such vesting occurs as a result of a Change of Control before the First Annual Meeting.
