Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
     At the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (the “Company”) held on May 11, 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”).
     The Amended Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Employees of the Company, its affiliates and its subsidiaries, as well as non-employee Directors of the Company, are eligible to participate in the Amended Plan. Up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be authorized for issuance through the Amended Plan, plus any shares subject to outstanding awards under the Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation 2005 Non-employee Directors’ Equity Incentive Plan as of May 11, 2010 that on or after that date cease to be subject to such awards (other than as a result of exercise for or settlement in vested and nonforfeitable shares). The Amended Plan provides the Committee with the authority to award incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units, performance shares, cash-based awards and stock-based awards.
     The Amended Plan provides for limits on the number of shares that may be subject to awards granted to any one participant in any one year as follows: (i) 60,000 shares for awards granted in the form of options; (ii) 60,000 shares for awards granted in the form of SARs, (iii) 60,000 shares for awards granted in the form of restricted stock or RSUs, (iv) 60,000 shares for awards granted in the form of performance shares or performance units and (v) 60,000 shares for awards granted in the form of other stock-based awards. The Amended Plan also provides for an annual per participant limit of $1,200,000 for cash-based awards. In addition, the Amended Plan provides that non-employee directors may not receive awards (regardless of type) covering more than 60,000 shares in any one year. Options and SARs issued under the Amended Plan will not be repriced, replaced, or regranted through cancellation in exchange for cash, other awards, or a new option or SAR at a reduced exercise or base price, or by lowering the exercise price of a previously granted option or SAR, except (i) with the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders or (ii) equitably in connection with changes in outstanding common stock by reason of a merger, stock split, or certain other events. The term of stock options and SARs granted pursuant to the Amended Plan may not exceed ten years, unless granted to participants outside the United States.
     The number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Amended Plan will be calculated pursuant to a share-counting formula, pursuant to which each share of common stock issued pursuant to options or SARs awarded under the Amended Plan will reduce the number of shares that remain available for issuance under the Amended Plan by 1, while each share of common stock issued pursuant to any other award under the Amended Plan will reduce the number of shares that remain available for issuance by 1.5.
     The amendment and restatement of the Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan was effective as of May 11, 2010. The Amended Plan will terminate with respect to the grant of new awards on May 11, 2020.
     The foregoing description of the terms of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Amended Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
