Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 25, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of AGCO Corporation (the “Company”) approved a one-time, time-based award in the aggregate amount of 144,611 restricted stock units (the “Award”) to Martin H. Richenhagen, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Compensation Committee designed the Award for Mr. Richenhagen to encourage him to delay his retirement until the end of 2020 and, in the interim, to oversee an orderly succession process, the integration of recent acquisitions, the launch of new products and the execution of near-term strategic milestones.

The Award was made under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Award will vest in one installment on December 31, 2020. Vesting generally will be subject to Mr. Richenhagen’s continued employment by the Company on the date of vesting, except under certain circumstances such as a change in control of the Company. If a change in control occurs prior to the vesting date of the Award, vesting will not be accelerated unless Mr. Richenhagen’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or by Mr. Richenhagen with good reason, as such terms are defined in the Plan and the Award.
