Frequently Asked Questions

This 8-K filing by Dominion Energy, Inc. reports on the approval of its 2007 Long-Term Compensation Program for officers and a separate program for the head of its Exploration & Production segment. It details the structure, vesting, and performance metrics of these incentive plans.

The program consists of two components of equal value: a restricted stock grant that vests after three years (cliff vesting) and a cash-based performance grant.

For the general officer program, payouts for the performance grant are expected by March 15, 2009. For the Dominion Exploration & Production segment program, performance grant payouts are expected by March 15, 2008.
