Material Changes
- Stock Incentive Plan Expansion: The Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2006 Assumed Stock Incentive Plan, increasing the aggregate number of shares available for issuance from 5,500,000 to 8,500,000.
- Adoption of 2010 Management Incentive Plan (MIP): A new cash bonus plan was adopted for named executive officers and eligible management. Target awards are set at 50% of base salary for the CEO and COO, 40% for the CFO, and 30% for other named executives.
- Executive Salary Increases: Base salaries for the Chairman & CEO and President & COO were increased to $325,000 and $300,000, respectively, effective March 1, 2010.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Performance Metrics: The 2010 MIP ties executive bonuses primarily to the Company's 2010 EBITDA. For the CEO and COO, the target award is based solely on 2010 EBITDA. For the CFO and other named officers, 75% of the award is based on 2010 EBITDA and 25% on individual performance objectives.
Contingencies: Payment of bonuses based on individual performance objectives is contingent upon the Company achieving at least 80% of its 2010 EBITDA goals. Actual bonuses may range from 0% to 200% of target awards.
Shareholder Approval: The amendment to the Stock Incentive Plan requires shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting scheduled for May 2010.
Timing: Bonus payments under the MIP are expected to be made in March 2011.
