  • Company Adjusted Cash Flow: Achieved 152% of the target amount.

Officer Position 2015 Total Compensation 2015 Non-Equity Bonus

Timothy M. Oxley CFO $871,313 $459,035
Shane Chittum COO $1,100,474 $688,553

Note: The filing does not provide consolidated revenue, net profit, or liquidity metrics for the company as a whole, focusing solely on executive compensation and the specific performance targets used to calculate it.

Material Changes and Unusual Items

The primary material change reported is the finalization of executive bonuses which were previously omitted from the Summary Compensation Table in the July 15, 2015 Form S-1 Registration Statement because they were not fully determined at that time. The filing updates the total compensation figures to include these STIP bonuses.

An unusual item noted is a specific cash bonus component included in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column, which recognizes efforts in pursuing and consummating the financing evidenced by the Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement entered into on March 13, 2015.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or management commentary regarding future business outlook. It is strictly a disclosure of past performance-based compensation.

Restricted Stock Contingency: The filing notes that restricted stock awards granted on May 29, 2015, were not included in the "Stock Awards" column because vesting conditions were not probable at the time of grant. However, if all vesting conditions are met, the potential value of these awards (based on the $15.00 initial offering price) would be:

  • Mr. McNew: $8,115,315
  • Mr. Oxley: $1,803,345
  • Mr. Chittum: $2,705,100

Key Facts for Investor Verification

  • Verify the specific vesting conditions for the restricted stock awards granted in May 2015 to assess the likelihood of the potential $12.6 million in equity value being realized.
  • Confirm the exact definition of "Company Adjusted EBITDA" and "Company Adjusted Cash Flow" used in the STIP to understand the performance thresholds.
  • Review the March 13, 2015 Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement to understand the financing terms that triggered the specific cash bonus component.
  • Compare the updated 2015 total compensation figures against the initial Form S-1 filing to ensure accurate disclosure of executive pay.
