Annual Grants

On February 22, 2017 (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of DMC Global Inc. (the “Company”) approved grants of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain of the Company’s officers pursuant to the DMC Global Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in the amounts set forth below.



Name	Title	Number of Shares of Restricted Stock/RSUs Granted	Number of PSUs Granted
Kevin Longe	President and Chief Executive Officer	20,000 Shares	10,000
Michael Kuta	Chief Financial Officer	8,000 Shares	4,000
Michelle Shepston	Chief Legal Officer	6,000 Shares	3,000
John Scheatzle	President, NobleClad	6,000 Shares	3,000
Ian Grieves	President, DynaEnergetics	6,000 RSUs	3,000

Each restricted stock/RSU grant set forth above vests over a three-year period, with one-third of such shares vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date.

Each PSU set forth above represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock based on certain vesting conditions. The number of PSUs reported equals the target number awarded on February 22, 2017. The actual number of shares of common stock that may vest, if any, is contingent on the Company’s average Adjusted EBITDA over the three-year period from 2017 to 2019 (the “Performance Period”) as compared to target Adjusted EBITDA and the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of identified peer companies achieved over the Performance Period, with potential to earn a number of shares of common stock between 0% and 200% of the number of target PSUs awarded. Adjusted EBITDA and TSR are weighted equally (50%/50%) for purposes of calculating the number of PSUs that vest. The PSUs will cliff vest, if at all, after the end of the Performance Period.

Retention Grants

In addition, on the Grant Date, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board approved a one-time grant of restricted stock or RSU’s pursuant to the Plan to certain of the Company’s officers as retention grants in the amounts set forth below:



Name	Title	Number of Shares of Restricted Stock/RSUs Granted
Kevin Longe	President and Chief Executive Officer	100,000 Shares
Michael Kuta	Chief Financial Officer	35,000 Shares
Ian Grieves	President, DynaEnergetics	25,000 RSUs

Each retention grant set forth above vests over a five-year period, with one-third of such shares vesting on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date.

Item 5.05. Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

As part of its regular review of the corporate governance policies of Company, the Board adopted and approved amendments to the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code”) on February 22, 2017. The amendments reflect revisions seeking to, among other things, clarify existing provisions of the Code and harmonize the provisions of the Code with the Company’s other governance policies.
