Chemtura 2006-2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
Chemtura Corporation's 2006-2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) rewards selected employees, as recommended by the CEO, with restricted stock based on the company's stock price growth over a three-year period. Participants earn shares as the stock price reaches and maintains specific milestones for 15 consecutive trading days. Vesting and payout of shares occur on set dates, with higher payouts for exceeding target prices. The plan is designed to align employee incentives with shareholder value by tying rewards directly to stock performance.
