Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed, Ciner Resource Partners LLC (the "General Partner"),
the general partner of Ciner Resources LP (the "Partnership"), established the
Ciner Resource Partners LLC 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended to date,
the "LTIP"). The LTIP provides for awards in the form of common units, phantom
units, distribution equivalent rights, cash awards and other unit-based awards.
Certain employees and officers of the Partnership, its parents and subsidiaries
are eligible to participate in the LTIP.
After careful consideration and deliberation, on January 14, 2020, the Board of
Directors of the General Partner (the "Board") approved an updated compensation
policy for certain employees, including each of the General Partner's executive
officers, commencing fiscal year 2020, pursuant to which an affiliate of the
Partnership will provide additional cash consideration as compensation for each
of the General Partner's executive officers and certain employees of the General
Partner or its affiliates that provide services to the Partnership in lieu of
participation in the LTIP (the "2020 Compensation Policy"). Pursuant to the 2020
Compensation Policy, as a substitution for each executive officer of the General
Partner's then-current annual target equity award under the LTIP, each of the
executive officers of the General Partner who are employed by the General
Partner or its affiliates to provide services for the Partnership shall receive
an additional amount of cash consideration as part of such executive officer's
base salary that is approximately equivalent to, (i) for each of Messrs. Oðuz
Erkan, Eduard Freydel and Chris DeBerry, approximately 50% of each such
executive officer's fiscal year 2019 targeted equity awards under the LTIP, and
(ii) for Ms. Marla Nicholson, approximately 100% of Ms. Nicholson's 2019
targeted equity awards under the LTIP, with such greater percentage for Ms.
Nicholson primarily the result of her promotion to Vice President and General
Counsel of the General Partner, effective as of October 29, 2019, and increase
in base compensation in connection with such promotion. A certain percentage of
the additional cash consideration will be allocated to, and reimbursed by, the
Partnership for such executive officers' services to the Partnership based on
the portion of their productive time spent providing services to or on behalf of
the Partnership.
