Material Changes and Executive Compensation

On March 22, 2017, the Compensation Committee approved a new award package for Lisa Jacoba, Chief Human Resources Officer, under the Company's Omnibus Incentive Plan. The package includes:

  • Cash Performance Units (CPUs): 67,073 units with a target award value of $67,073. Payouts range from 50% to 200% of the target value based on stock price performance over three sub-periods.
  • Stock Options: 33,014 options to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $4.35, expiring on March 22, 2027.
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): 5,085 units vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Receipt of the CPU payout generally requires Ms. Jacoba to remain in service for the duration of each performance sub-period, subject to limited exceptions such as death, disability, or qualifying termination following a change in control. She is also subject to non-competition and non-solicitation obligations for one year after service ends.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
