TPG Inc. board approves $50 million equity award for founder James Coulter

The board of directors of TPG Inc . (NASDAQ:TPG) has approved a long-term performance incentive award for the company’s founder and chairman, James Coulter, according to a statement released in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

The award, valued at $50 million, will be granted on August 19 and consists of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PRSUs) issued under TPG’s Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The RSUs will account for 40% of the award’s face value, while PRSUs will make up the remaining 60%. The number of units will be determined based on the 10-trading day volume weighted average price of TPG’s Class A common stock prior to the grant date.

RSUs are scheduled to vest in four equal installments on July 15 of each year from 2026 through 2029, contingent on Mr. Coulter’s continued service. PRSUs are scheduled to vest in five equal installments from July 15, 2026, through July 15, 2030, and require the achievement of specific stock price hurdles. These hurdles are set at premiums of 150%, 167%, 183%, and 200% above the closing price on the grant date. The first hurdle must be reached by July 15, 2030, while the remaining hurdles must be met by July 15, 2031. Any PRSUs not meeting these conditions will be forfeited.

Upon termination of service, any unvested portion of the award will be forfeited, with certain exceptions in cases such as involuntary termination without cause, resignation for good reason, or termination due to death or disability. In the event of a change in control, vesting and performance conditions may be assessed or accelerated as specified in the award terms.

The award is subject to TPG’s recoupment and Dodd-Frank clawback policies. Dividend equivalents will be paid on vested and unvested RSUs as dividends occur, and on PRSUs only if vesting conditions are met.
