TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Adoption of 2011 Short-Term Incentive Plan
On February 7, 2011, the Compensation Committee (the Compensation Committee) of the Board of
Directors (the Board) of The St. Joe Company, a Florida corporation (St. Joe or the Company),
adopted the 2011 Short-Term Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan) and designated target awards
(calculated as a percentage of base salary) for each of Wm. Britton Greene, President and Chief
Executive Officer, and William S. McCalmont, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
The target award percentages are 100% for Mr. Greene and 75% for Mr. McCalmont. The possible
payouts under the 2011 Plan range from 0% to 100% of these target awards based upon achievement of
the Companys performance goals and the Compensation Committees discretion. The Compensation
Committee, in its discretion, may pay more than 100% for exceptional performance.
For the 2011 Plan, the Compensation Committee established performance goals based on four
components of Company performance:
(1) Achieve the 2011 revenue plan and maintain a strong liquidity position;
(2) Advance economic development in West Bay and the region;
(3) Drive residential builder programs and control project costs; and
(4) Enhance forestry operations to generate additional revenue and contribution by year end 2011.
The Compensation Committee will have complete discretion over the weighting and determination of
relative achievement of the goals based on the Compensation Committees qualitative assessment of
Company performance for 2011. The Compensation Committee will determine the actual awards under
the 2011 Plan during the first quarter of 2012.
The foregoing description of the 2011 Plan is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2011 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
10.1 hereto and which is incorporated by reference herein.
Awards of Restricted Stock
On February 7, 2011, the Compensation Committee awarded shares of restricted stock with
performance-based vesting conditions to members of management, including an award of 45,226 shares
to Mr. Greene and 17,462 shares to Mr. McCalmont.
The vesting of these shares will be based on the performance of the Companys stock price
from February 7, 2011 through January 31, 2014. The total shareholder return of the Companys stock
during the performance period will be measured and compared to the total shareholder return of the
companies within the S&P 500 Index (weighted at 40%) and a selected peer group of real estate
related companies (weighted at 60%).
On February 7, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the Form of Restricted
Stock Agreement for performance-based awards. A copy of the Form of Restricted Stock Agreement for
performance-based awards was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 12, 2010 and is
incorporated by reference herein. The amendment changes the methodology for measuring the ending
price used to determine total shareholder return during the performance period. The ending price
was changed from the average of the ten days prior to the end of the performance period, to the
average of the thirty-six month-end closing prices during the performance period. The amendment
also modifies how granted but unvested performance vesting restricted shares are treated upon a
change in control. The new language provides that the better of target or actual
performance through the change in control date will determine the vesting of shares,
rather than an immediate acceleration of vesting of all granted shares.
2
On February 7, 2011, the Compensation Committee also awarded shares of restricted stock with
time-based vesting to members of management, including an award
of 22,613 shares to Mr. Greene and
8,731 shares to Mr. McCalmont. All of these shares will vest in equal installments over four
years.
A copy of the Form of Restricted Stock Agreement for time-based awards was filed as Exhibit 10.3 to
the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2010 and is
incorporated by reference herein.
The Restricted Stock Agreements for the awards contain provisions regarding, among other matters,
the forfeiture of shares, accelerated vesting of shares, the possible receipt of a cash payment in
certain events, transfer restrictions and certain shareholder rights. All of these terms are
consistent with the provisions of the Companys 2009 Equity Incentive Plan described in the
Companys Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on March 29, 2010, which description is
incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 8, 2011, the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating
Committee, unanimously adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Amended and Restated Bylaws),
which amend and restate in their entirety St. Joes former Amended and Restated Bylaws, adopted on
December 14, 2004 and amended on May 11, 2010 (the Former Bylaws). The Amended and Restated
Bylaws became effective immediately upon their adoption by the Board. The Former Bylaws were
either substantially revised, reworded or reordered or new provisions were adopted to reflect
current practices of public companies and with respect to Florida
law, including the Florida Business
Corporation Act (the Florida Act), as well as to enhance the readability of the Former Bylaws and
to clarify certain provisions of the Former Bylaws. The following is a summary of the Amended and
Restated Bylaws and the changes to the Former Bylaws. Such summary is not intended to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated
Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and which is incorporated by reference
herein.
Article I. Offices
This article was added to indicate the parameters within which the Board determines
the location of the corporate offices.
Article II. Meetings of Shareholders
Section 1. Place of Meetings. This section consolidates separate provisions contained
in Article II, 1(a) and Article II, 2 of the Former Bylaws regarding the locations of special and
annual meetings of shareholders (each of which permits the Board to determine the location) into
one provision.
Section 2. Annual Meetings. This section replaces Article II, Section 1 of the Former
Bylaws and, among other changes (including elimination of the requirement that the annual meeting
be held in May of each year), enhances the procedures for shareholders to propose business at
annual meetings. The deadline for shareholder proposals (other than proposals made in accordance
with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) is changed from the
Former Bylaws. To be timely, a shareholders notice of proposal must be received by the Company
not less than 100 (instead of 120) days nor more than 120 (instead of 150) days prior to the
one-year anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting. This section further requires a
shareholders notice to provide detail with respect to the nature of the shareholders equity
ownership and the business proposed to be conducted at the annual meeting. In addition to
disclosing the name and address of, and the class or series and number of shares of the Company
that are beneficially owned by the proposing shareholder, the notice must include a description of
(i) any derivative, swap or other transaction engaged in by the shareholder the purpose or effect
of which is to give the shareholder economic risk similar to the ownership of shares of any class
or series of the Company, (ii) any proxy, agreement or relationship that confers a right to vote
any shares of the Company, (iii) any agreement or relationship engaged in to increase or decrease
the level of risk to, or the voting power of, the proposing shareholder with respect to the shares
of the Company, (iv) any rights to dividends on the Companys shares that are separated or
separable from the underlying shares, (v) any performance-related fees the proposing shareholder is
entitled to based on the increase or decrease in the value of any shares of the Company, and (vi)
any other information relating to the proposing shareholder that would be required to be disclosed
in a proxy statement filed under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. For each item of business, the
proposing shareholder is required to
3
provide a brief description of the proposed business, including the reasons for conducting the
business and any material interest which a proposing person may have in the business, including a
reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between
the proposing shareholder and other shareholders of the Company in connection with the proposed
business. This section further requires that a shareholders proposal be updated and supplemented,
if necessary, so as to be accurate as of the record date and as of the date that is ten business
days prior to the meeting date or any adjournment thereof. This section does not apply to any
proposal made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Section 3. Special Meetings. This section replaces Article II, Section 2 of the
Former Bylaws and provides procedures for requesting a record date for shareholders who seek to
call a special meeting and includes advance notice provisions with respect to business proposed to
be conducted at a special meeting. This section does not change the ability of certain persons to
call special meetings of the shareholders from time to time, including the Chairman of the Board,
the Board, or shareholders holding not less than 30% of the voting power of the Companys issued
and outstanding shares. This section mandates that any shareholder who seeks to call a special
meeting is first required to request that the Board fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the shareholders entitled to demand that the Company call a special meeting. Under
this section, a shareholder requesting a special meeting must set forth his, her or its request in
writing. This requesting shareholders written request must include disclosures similar to those
required under the advance notice provisions for annual meetings, including material information
about the security ownership, economic, voting and other interests of the shareholder seeking to
call a special meeting. In addition, a shareholders request must include, among other
requirements, a brief description of the business to be brought before the meeting, the reasons
for conducting such business at the meeting and a detailed description of all agreements,
arrangements and understanding between the requesting shareholder or shareholders and any other
person or entity in connection with the proposal of such business. If directors are proposed to be
elected at the special meeting, nominee information for each person expected to be nominated by the
requesting shareholder is also required to be included in the written request. Within 20 days
after receipt of a request in proper form to fix a record date, the Board may fix the record date
and if the Board fails to fix a record date the record date is the 20th day after the
Company receives the request. After the record date is set, a special meeting may be called at the
request of shareholders holding not less than 30% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of
the Companys issued and outstanding stock. To be timely, this shareholder request must be
received by the Company no later than the
60th day after the record date. To be in proper
form, the shareholder request must set forth (i) the business proposed to be conducted at the
special meeting or the proposed election of directors at the special meeting, (ii) the text of the
proposal or business and (iii) with respect to any shareholder submitting a demand for a special
meeting by way of a solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A, the more detailed economic,
voting and other information required of a shareholder requesting the Board to fix a record date.
Under this section, the Company is not required to call a special meeting if the items of business
proposed to be considered at the special meeting are substantially similar to an item of business
already presented in the past year to the shareholders. This section further requires that a
shareholders proposal be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so as to be accurate as of the
record date and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting date or any
adjournment thereof.
Section 4. Notice of Meeting. This section replaces Article II, Section 3 of the
Former Bylaws with a more expansive description of notice, including provisions specifying when
notice of an annual or special meeting of shareholders is deemed delivered if sent by electronic
means, and provisions regarding notice requirements to shareholders in the case of adjournment or
undeliverable mail.
Section 5. Waiver of Notice. This section is added to create a standalone waiver of
notice provision, to add a requirement that waivers be signed writings, and to specify grounds upon
which shareholder attendance at a meeting in person or by proxy constitutes waiver.
Section 6. Record Date. This section is added to indicate the parameters within which
the Board may fix the record date (not more than 70 days before the meeting or action requiring a
determination of shareholders), and to add provisions regarding the fixing of a record date in the
case of adjournment or share dividends.
Section 7. Quorum. This section replaces Article II, Section 4 of the Former Bylaws
and further clarifies the quorum requirement.
4
Section 8. Proxies. This section is added to set forth the procedures for the
appointment of shareholder proxies under the Florida Act.
Section 9. Advance Notice of Nominations for Election of Directors at a Meeting. This
section replaces Article III, Section 10 of the Former Bylaws and provides the exclusive procedures
for shareholder nomination of directors. A shareholder of record is entitled to nominate director
candidates for election to the Board at an annual or a special meeting of shareholders if such
shareholder provides timely written notice in proper form. To be timely, (i) in the case of an
annual meeting, the shareholders notice for nominations must be received by the Company in
accordance with the procedures for submitting business to an annual meeting, and (ii) in the case
of a special meeting, the shareholders notice for nominations must be received by the Company not
earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the
90th prior to such special meeting or, if later, the tenth day following the date on
which public disclosure of the special meeting date is first made. To be in proper form, any
shareholder submitting a director nomination is required to disclose, (i) the class and number of
shares owned, (ii) any derivative, swap or other transaction which gives that party economic risk
similar to ownership in the Company, (iii) any proxy, agreement or relationship that confers a
right to vote any shares of the Company, (iv) any agreement or relationship engaged in to increase
or decrease the level of risk to, or the voting power of, the proposing shareholder with respect to
the shares of the Company, (v) any rights to dividends on the Companys shares that are separated
or separable from the underlying shares, (vi) any performance-related fees the proposing persons
are entitled to based on the increase or decrease in the value of any shares of the Company and
(vii) any other information relating to the proposing shareholder that would be required to be
disclosed in a proxy statement filed under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. This section further
requires disclosure of certain financial and other relationships between the between the proposing
shareholder and his, her or its director nominees. This section also requires disclosure of the
same information about a proposed director nominee that would be required if the director nominee
were submitting a proposal.
Section 10. Conduct of Meetings. This section is added to indicate that rules,
regulations and procedures for the conduct of shareholder meetings may be adopted by the Board or
prescribed by the chairman of each shareholder meeting, and to indicate that meetings may be held
by remote communication if authorized by the Board.
Section 11. Organization of Meetings. This section is added to set forth the
procedures for selecting the chairman of each meeting.
Section 12. Voting of Shares. This section is added to set forth the voting standards
for the Companys outstanding shares under the Florida Act and the Companys Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the Articles).
Section 13. Voting Lists. This section is added to set forth the requirements of the
Company to prepare, and make available, shareholder lists.
Section 14. Shareholder Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. This section
replaces Article II, Section 5 and provides procedures for shareholders to request the Board to fix
a record date to determine the shareholders entitled to act by written consent. Shareholders are
entitled to act without a meeting if consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, are
signed by holders of record of outstanding shares of the Company having not less than the minimum
number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. This section requires that a shareholder
request that the Board fix a record date to determine the shareholders entitled to act by written
consent and clarifies the timing for a shareholder to request the record date. Specifically, the
Board is permitted to set a record date within 20 days after receiving a shareholders request, and
the record date will not be more than 20 days after the Board acts. If the Board fails to set a
date, the record date will be the first date after the expiration of such 20 day time period, on
which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered
to the Company. This section further requires disclosures regarding the shareholder making a
request for a record date to act by written consent (and related parties) similar to those required
under the advance notice provisions for annual meetings. As with the advance notice provisions,
these expanded disclosures will provide the Company and the shareholders with material information
about the economic, voting and other interests of the shareholder seeking to act by written
consent, as well as requiring disclosures of financial and other relationships between the
requesting shareholder and its directors nominees, if applicable, substantially similar to those
that would be required under
5
Schedule 14A of the Exchange Act if the requesting shareholder were the Company. A shareholders
request is required to include a reasonably detailed description of the action proposed to be taken
by written consent in lieu of a meeting and all agreements, arrangements and understandings between
the shareholder proposing to take such action (and related parties) and any other person or entity
in connection with the request for the proposed action.
