03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of these PSU awards?
The PSUs are strategic equity performance awards designed to incentivize and retain key senior leadership, including named executive officers, who are responsible for executing Quanta Services' five-year business strategy and achieving its financial goals. They aim to align executive interests with long-term shareholder value creation.
What are the performance metrics for earning these PSUs?
The PSUs have two primary performance metrics: a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) over a five-year period, and a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) modifier. Achieving a specified adjusted EPS CAGR can result in up to 300% of the target PSUs being earned, with an additional TSR performance modifier potentially increasing this to a maximum of 600% of target PSUs.
When will these PSUs vest and be settled?
The PSUs are eligible to vest after the conclusion of the five-year performance period (December 31, 2030), provided the holder remains employed with the company through that date. Vesting can be accelerated under specific circumstances, such as qualifying terminations of employment or in connection with a change in control of the company. Earned and vested PSUs will be settled in shares of Quanta Services' common stock.
Are these awards part of a new plan or an existing one?
These incentive compensation awards were made pursuant to Quanta Services, Inc.'s 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The specific terms are detailed in the PSU Award Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this report.
