On December 28, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), CVR Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into Restricted Stock Unit Agreements with each of its named executive officers, awarding such officers the number of restricted stock units summarized below (the “NEO Awards”):

 

Officer		Restricted Stock Units Awarded
John J. Lipinski			62,920
Stanley A. Riemann			37,752
Susan M. Ball			16,779
Edmund S. Gross			16,779
Robert W. Haugen			11,536

The NEO Awards were made pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan. The awards for Messrs. Lipinski and Riemann vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The awards for the remaining named executive officers vest in one-third annual increments beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to (a) the fair market value of one share of the Company’s common stock, plus (b) the cash value of all dividends declared and paid by the Company per share of the Company’s common stock from the Effective Date to and including the vesting date. The descriptions of the awards above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of award agreement, attached hereto as exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, in connection with the NEO Awards, the Company approved a discretionary award of restricted stock units to Mr. Lipinski, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, in an amount of up to $3,000,000 on or before December 31, 2013. This discretionary award remains subject to the review and recommendation of the Compensation Committee and approval of the board of directors of the Company, and is conditioned on Mr. Lipinski continuing to be employed by the Company through December 31, 2013. To the extent awarded, the discretionary award will vest immediately, and include dividend equivalent rights for the time period commencing on December 28, 2012 through the date of the award, but otherwise be on substantially the same terms as the NEO Awards.
