Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Board of Directors of BWX Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a special grant of performance restricted stock units (“PSU”) and non-qualified performance stock options (“NQPSO”) to Rex D. Geveden, President and Chief Executive Officer, on May 7, 2025 with a target value of $5.5 million. This award is intended to further incentivize long-term shareholder value creation and contains aggressive performance hurdles that must be met to generate payouts under the terms of the award. The PSU component of the award, with a grant date fair value of $2.2 million, will cliff vest on December 31, 2027, subject to the achievement of cumulative revenue (50%) and EBITDA margin expansion (50%) targets for the performance period January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027 (the “First Performance Period”). The number of PSUs earned will be based on the level of performance achieved during the First Performance Period with potential payouts ranging from 0% to 150% on each metric. The terms of the PSU award agreement are largely consistent with the Company’s prior PSU award agreements with the exclusion of retirement-related vesting provisions that would otherwise be applicable to Mr. Geveden. The NQPSO component of the award, with a grant date fair value of $3.3 million, will cliff vest on December 31, 2027, subject to the achievement of total shareholder return relative to the S&P Aerospace and Defense Select Index for the performance period May 7, 2025 through December 31, 2027 (the “Second Performance Period”). The number of NQPSOs earned will be based on the level of performance achieved during the Second Performance Period with potential payouts ranging from 0% to 150%. The forms of NQPSO and PSU award agreements are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 5, 2025 and incorporated herein by reference.
