2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan

On February 26, 2019, at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Shiloh Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company approved the Company’s 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Plan”), which replaces the Company’s 2016 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”). The following description of the Equity Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In general, the Equity Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will enable the Compensation Committee to provide equity and incentive compensation to (1) officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including persons who have agreed to commence serving in such capacity within 90 days of the grant of the applicable award, (2) non-employee directors, and (3) certain other individuals who provide employee-type services. Pursuant to the Equity Plan, the Company may grant equity-based and cash-based compensation generally in the form of stock options, appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash incentive awards, dividend equivalents, and other stock-based awards, in each case, subject to terms and conditions as further described in the Equity Plan.

Subject to adjustment as described in the Equity Plan, and subject to the Equity Plan’s share counting rules, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are available for awards under the Equity Plan is equal to 1,500,000, plus the remaining number of shares of common stock available under the Predecessor Plan as of the date of its termination. These shares may be shares of original issuance or treasury shares, or a combination of both. The aggregate number of shares available under the Equity Plan will be reduced by one share of common stock for every one share subject to an award granted under the Equity Plan.

The Equity Plan also provides that, subject to adjustment as described in the Equity Plan:

Shares of common stock subject to, or issued or transferred in settlement of, awards granted under the Equity Plan in substitution for, conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other stock or stock-based awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger transaction with the Company or any of its subsidiaries will not count against (or be added back to) the aggregate share limit or other Equity Plan limits described above. Additionally, shares available under certain plans that the Company or its subsidiaries may assume in connection with corporate transactions from another entity may be available for certain awards under the Equity Plan, under circumstances further described in the Equity Plan, but will not count against the aggregate share limit or other Equity Plan limits described above. Shares underlying certain awards under the Equity Plan and the Predecessor Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, expire, or are settled for cash will again be available under the Equity Plan, as further described in the Equity Plan.

The Board generally will be able to amend the Equity Plan, subject to stockholder approval in certain circumstances as described in the Equity Plan.

NEO Management Incentive Plan

On February 26, 2019, at a meeting of the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee approved the Company’s NEO Management Incentive Plan (the “NEO Incentive Plan”). The NEO Incentive Plan will become effective—and named executive officers will become eligible to participate in—the NEO Incentive Plan beginning November 1, 2019, which coincides with the expiration of the Shiloh Industries, Inc. Management Incentive Plan on that same date. The NEO Incentive Plan will remain in effect unless terminated by the Compensation Committee at any time that there are no outstanding award payments under the NEO Incentive Plan that are not completed.

In general, the NEO Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee and is intended to retain and motivate the Company’s named executive officers to consistently and productively work towards the achievement of the organizational and individual objectives and performance goals of the Company measured on a short term basis. Under the NEO Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may provide a cash incentive bonus (an “Incentive Bonus”) when the Company’s objectives and individual goals are achieved, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee will determine, at the time an Incentive Bonus is granted, the management objectives for each eligible participant and the amount of Incentive Bonus (or formula for determining such amount) upon full achievement of the specified management objectives. The Compensation Committee may stipulate a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no Incentive Bonus will be paid and will set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of the management objectives or if performance exceeds the achievement of the management objectives. Payment of each Incentive Bonus will be made as soon as practicable after the end of the performance period to which the Incentive Bonus relates and after the Compensation Committee certifies the management objectives were satisfied.

The Annual Meeting was held on February 26, 2019 in Valley City, Ohio. The Annual Meeting proposals were described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on January 17, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The final results of the voting are shown below.
