Material Changes and Executive Compensation

On December 11, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved target awards for the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2020:

  • Dheeraj Pandey (CEO): $600,000 target award plus a grant of 200,000 Performance Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
  • Duston Williams (CFO): $300,000 target award.
  • David Sangster (COO): $300,000 target award.
  • Tyler Wall (CLO): $175,000 target award.

The Performance RSUs granted to Mr. Pandey vest based on the Company's average stock price reaching $65 over an approximately 4.5-year period. Vesting occurs quarterly if the threshold is met; otherwise, unvested units carry over or terminate if the target is never reached.
