Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) At the 2019 Annual Stockholder Meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of Capital One Financial Corporation (the “Company”) held on May 2, 2019, the Company’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company, approved and adopted the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”).
The Amended Plan addresses changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) resulting from the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Specifically, the Amended Plan revises the Fourth Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to delete certain defined terms that are no longer applicable, eliminate the distinction between performance criteria that were applicable to awards designed to comply with the “performance-based compensation” exemption under Section 162(m) and other performance criteria, and extends the Compensation Committee’s discretion in determining and modifying the allocation of the annual incentive pool to all individual participants.
For a description of the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan, see “Summary of Material Provisions of the Fifth Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan” under proposal 4 “Approval and Adoption of the Capital One Financial Corporation Fifth Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan” on pages 108-115 of the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”), which description is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions of the Amended Plan contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
