Material Changes and Executive Compensation
The filing details significant changes to executive compensation effective April 1, 2012, and the adoption of a new incentive plan:
- 2012 Management Incentive Plan (MIP): Adopted on February 23, 2012. Bonuses are based on 2012 Adjusted EBITDA and individual performance objectives.
- CEO/COO Target: 50% of base salary (85% tied to Adjusted EBITDA, 15% to individual objectives).
- CFO Target: 40% of base salary (75% tied to Adjusted EBITDA, 25% to individual objectives).
- Other Participants: 15% to 40% of base salary.
- Base Salary Increases:
- CEO: Approved increase to $425,000, but voluntarily reduced to $360,000 to match the COO.
- COO: Increased to $360,000.
- CFO: Increased to $250,000.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook: The company scheduled a conference call to discuss 2011 results. The MIP includes a sliding scale for bonuses based on 2012 Adjusted EBITDA thresholds, with potential for excess bonuses if targets are exceeded. Conversely, if Adjusted EBITDA falls below certain thresholds, the individual performance portion of the bonus may be reduced by 50-100%.
Risks/Contingencies: The filing does not explicitly list new risk factors or contingencies beyond the performance-based nature of the new compensation plan.
