Bonus Payment Agreement
Bonus Payment Agreement (35K)
Doc #372449: Click preview link for longer preview.
BONUS PAYMENT AGREEMENT
This Bonus Payment Agreement is entered into effective as of November 21, 2001 (this "Agreement") by and between FRANK G. MANCUSO ("Mancuso") and METRO- GOLDWYN-MAYER STUDIOS INC. ("MGM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of METRO-GOLDWYN- MAYER INC. (the "Company") with respect to the following circumstances:
A. Mancuso is an individual residing in the State of California and currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Company.
B. Each of MGM and the Company is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place of business in Santa Monica, California.
C. Pursuant to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. Senior Management Bonus Plan (the "Plan"), Mancuso was awarded an aggregate of 811,756 bonus interests (the "Bonus Interests"), the terms and conditions of which are set forth in the Bonus Interest Agreement dated as of November 6, 1997, as amended pursuant to the repricing provisions of the Consulting Agreement entered into as of August 12, 1999 between MGM and the Company, on the one hand, and Mancuso, on the other hand (such agreement as so amended referred to herein as the "Bonus Interest Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Bonus Interest Agreement.
D. Under the Bonus Interest Agreement, the first Determination Date for valuing the Bonus Interests will occur on December 31, 2001 and Mancuso would be entitled to a cash payment, payable April 15, 2002, if the average of the per- share closing prices of the common stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), on the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2001 (the "Fair Market Value per Common Share") is greater than $14.90 and less than $29.80 (the "Common Share Price Range").
E. MGM has proposed, and Mancuso has agreed, that MGM shall cause to be issued to Mancuso, and Mancuso shall accept, shares of the Common Stock (the "Bonus Shares") in lieu of any cash payment otherwise due with respect to the December 31, 2001 Determination Date. The precise number of Bonus Shares shall be determined by dividing the cash amount otherwise due under the Bonus Interest Agreement by the Fair Market Value per Common Share. {PAGE}
F. It is in the best interests of Mancuso and MGM that the Bonus Shares be sold in an orderly fashion following the issuance thereof and, to that end, Mancuso has agreed to certain limitations on the number of Bonus Shares that may be sold for his benefit on any single trading day. In view of the expected day- to-day fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock, the parties hereto wish to establish a mechanism that leaves Mancuso in the same economic position following the sale of the Bonus Shares as he would have enjoyed had the Bonus Interests been paid in cash (without regard to the benefit to Mancuso by virtue of the time value of money).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Subject to the terms hereof, MGM hereby agrees to cause to be issued, and Mancuso hereby agrees to accept, the Bonus Shares in lieu of any cash payment otherwise due with respect to the December 31, 2001 Determination Date pursuant to the Bonus Interest Agreement. Certificates evidencing the Bonus Shares will be issued to Mancuso as soon after the December 31, 2001 Determination Date as is practicable, but in no event later than January 5, 2002 (the "Issuance Date").
2. Pursuant to a trading plan which Mancuso will enter into with an institutional broker (the "Broker") and which will be substantially in the form of that attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Trading Plan"), the Broker will sell from time to time at the market price of the Common Stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), subject to the volume restrictions set forth below, the Bonus Shares issued to Mancuso by MGM in full and complete satisfaction of the Company's and MGM's payment obligations under the Bonus Interest Agreement with respect to the December 31, 2001 Determination Date, subject to MGM's obligations pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Mancuso agrees that the number of Bonus Shares sold on the Exchange on any single trading day during the Trading Period (as defined below) shall not exceed the greater of (i) 25,000 shares or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of the average daily volume of the Common Stock traded on the Exchange over the prior ten (10) trading days (on a "rolling average" basis); provided, however, that the Trading Plan shall provide that the Broker may, in its discretion, enter orders to sell a lesser amount on any trading day in response to market conditions. The provisions hereof with respect to the Trading Plan shall apply with equal force and effect to (a) the initial trading plan and (b) any successor trading plan with respect to the Bonus Shares entered into by Mancuso with an institutional broker prior to the expiration of the Trading Period.
3. The period covered by this Agreement (the "Trading Period") shall commence on the Issuance Date and shall continue until the earlier of April 15,
2 {PAGE}
2002 or the date on which Mancuso shall have completed the sale of all the Bonus Shares; provided, however, that the Trading Period shall be extended beyond April 15, 2002 to a date not later than June 15, 2002 to the extent that the sale of all of the Bonus Shares by April 15, 2002 shall have been precluded by virtue of (i) the volume limitations set forth in Paragraph 2 hereinabove, (ii) market or other disruptions as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto (each a "Market Disruption") and/or (iii) a suspension of sales under the Trading Plan by virtue of Broker or any of its affiliates becoming aware of material nonpublic information concerning MGM or the Common Stock.
4. With respect to all Bonus Shares sold during the Trading Period, Mancuso shall direct the Broker to provide to MGM within three (3) business days of each sale, the following information with respect thereto:
a) the date of the trade b) the number of Bonus Shares sold c) the price(s) at which sold d) the brokers' commissions paid with respect thereto
provided that MGM acknowledges that the Broker's failure to have provided the information specified in this Paragraph 4 in a timely fashion will not be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Mancuso so long as such information is furnished to MGM with five (5) business days after written notice from MGM requesting same. MGM shall assist Mancuso in preparing and filing in a timely fashion any and all forms and notices (including, without limitation, Forms 4) which Mancuso may be required to file pursuant to applicable Federal or state securities laws as a result of his sale of any Bonus Shares.
5. If MGM becomes obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the issuance of the Bonus Shares to Mancuso (the "Withholding Liability"), MGM will pay the full amount thereof in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. As soon as MGM shall have calculated the amount of the Withholding Liability, it shall provide Mancuso with a written schedule setting forth the amount of such liability and the applicable Federal and state tax rates used in computing same. Mancuso shall reimburse MGM for the full amount of the Withholding Liability by instructing the Broker to pay over to MGM thirty-five percent (35%) of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonus Shares, with the remaining sixty-five percent (65%) of such proceeds to be disbursed to Mancuso until MGM shall have been reimbursed in full. After such reimbursement, Mancuso shall be entitled to retain 100% of the proceeds of any such sales, subject to Paragraph 6 hereinbelow. Mancuso will indemnify MGM and hold it harmless from and against any Federal, state or local withholding tax liability (including interest and penalties) to which MGM is subject or which it may incur resulting from the issuance of the Bonus Shares to
3 {PAGE}
Mancuso, except to the extent that (a) any such liabilities, interest or penalties result from (i) the failure of MGM to make a good faith determination of the amount of the Withholding Liability, and/or (ii) the failure of MGM to pay over to the relevant taxing authorities on a timely basis any sums paid to MGM by Mancuso to satisfy any Withholding Liability, and/or (b) MGM fails to pay Mancuso all amounts to which he is entitled pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof (including the indemnification provisions of the second and third grammatical paragraphs thereof).
6. Within five (5) business days following the end of the Trading Period, (a) MGM shall pay to Mancuso in cash the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value per Common Share over the average per-share proceeds (after deduction of brokers' commissions) from the sale of the Bonus Shares pursuant to the Trading Plan (the "Net Proceeds per Common Share") multiplied by the number of Bonus Shares sold and (b) Mancuso shall pay to MGM the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds per Common Share over the Fair Market Value per Common Share multiplied by the number of Bonus Shares sold. The foregoing calculations shall be appropriately adjusted to the extent necessary to permit MGM to recoup any unreimbursed Withholding Liability. Any payment made by MGM to Mancuso pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall include an additional amount of money sufficient to reimburse Mancuso on a full gross-up basis for any and all Federal, state and local taxes and assessments to which he is subject as a result of any payments from MGM under this Paragraph 6.
MGM will indemnify and hold harmless Mancuso, or in the event of his death, his heirs, executor, administrator or other personal representative, (each, an "Indemnitee") from and against any Federal, state or local tax liability, interest and penalties (including reasonable attorney's fees and out- of-pocket disbursements, whether incurred in connection with an audit or other legal or tax court proceeding) (collectively, the "Tax Liability") to which Indemnitee may be subject or which Indemnitee may incur, resulting from the issuance of the Bonus Shares to Mancuso, except to the extent that any such Tax Liability relates to Mancuso's failure to have reimbursed MGM for the full amount of the Withholding Liability pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereinabove; provided, however, that such indemnity shall be operative only to the extent that the Tax Liability resulting from or relating to the issuance of the Bonus Shares exceeds the Tax Liability to which Indemnitee would have been subject had the Bonus Interests been paid in cash pursuant to the terms of the Bonus Interest Agreement. In the event of any audit, or other legal or tax court proceeding in respect of which a claim is to be made hereunder, MGM shall have the right to select counsel and to make any final determination as to whether to settle any such proceeding.
4 {PAGE}
The Joint and Several Indemnity Agreement, dated as of October 10, 1996 (the "Indemnity Agreement") by and between the Company (then known as P&F Acquisition Corp.) and MGM (then known as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.), on the one hand, and Mancuso, on the other hand, remains in full force and effect and shall apply to this Agreement and the Trading Plan and the transactions contemplated herein to the same extent as if set forth herein in full.
7. In the event Mancuso is unable to sell the Bonus Shares before the end of the Trading Period (as it may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 3 hereof) (a) due to the restrictions and limitations contained in Rule 144(c) or Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and/or (b) one or more Market Disruptions and/or (c) because MGM is engaged in an underwritten offering of its securities pursuant to the Securities Act and the lead underwriter of such offering has required that MGM's directors and executive officers enter into a market stand-off or lock-up agreement, then, in each such event, Mancuso shall have the option, exercisable in his sole discretion, either (i) to transfer and convey to MGM the number of unsold Bonus Shares which are then subject to this Agreement (the "Unsold Bonus Shares") or (ii) to retain all Unsold Bonus Shares and sell them pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise. If Mancuso elects to transfer and convey the Unsold Bonus Shares to MGM, he may do so only if (A) he shall have notified MGM of such election as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the precipitating event, (B) he owns such Shares free and clear of any and all claims, liens, security interests and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, and (C) such transfer may be made without violating any applicable Federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, or any contract or agreement to which Mancuso is a party or by which any of his assets or properties are bound or affected. In connection with such transfer and conveyance, MGM shall pay to Mancuso in cash an amount equal to the product derived by multiplying (x) the number of Unsold Bonus Shares by (y) the Fair Market Value per Common Share, as defined in Recital D of this Agreement, which payment shall be made by MGM on or about the end of the Trading Period. Mancuso will execute and deliver to MGM any agreements, instruments or documents which MGM shall reasonably request in order to confirm Mancuso's compliance with this Paragraph 7.
8. MGM represents and warrants to Mancuso that this Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms as to MGM, and all necessary corporate action has been taken in order to approve the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The Bonus Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Bonus Interest Agreement and this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such shares, when issued, shall have
5 {PAGE}
been duly registered under the Securities Act and will be freely transferable. Prior to the beginning of the Trading Period, all necessary action will have been taken to list the shares for trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
9. Mancuso hereby represents and warrants that (i) he is the sole owner of the Bonus Interests and has not sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner any of the Bonus Interests or any right to or interest in the Bonus Interests to any person, (ii) the number of Bonus Interests set forth in the Bonus Interest Agreement represents all of the Bonus Interests granted to him, (iii) he, or his representative, has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers and to undertake whatever additional inquiry regarding the subject matter of this Agreement as he has deemed necessary or appropriate under the circumstances in order to reach an informed decision regarding the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) he has carefully reviewed and
