ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors

 

On April 20, 2020, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) at which the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. 2011 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors renamed as the M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2020 Director Equity Plan”). The 2020 Director Equity Plan had been previously recommended for approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, in each case, subject to shareholder approval. The 2020 Director Equity Plan became effective as of the date of such shareholder approval – April 20, 2020.

 

In addition to the plan being renamed, the 2020 Director Equity Plan, among other things, increased the number of shares covered by the annual grant of each stock option (without increasing the total number of shares authorized under the plan) to reflect, on a going forward basis, the three stock dividends since the first effective date of the plan.

 

The material features of the 2020 Director Equity Plan are described in the section entitled “Proposal Three - Approval of Amendment and Restatement of the M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors” appearing on pages 61-68 of the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on February 25, 2020 in connection with the 2020 Annual Meeting, which description is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the 2020 Directory Equity Plan, as restated, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
