On December 15, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of InsWeb Corporation approved the 2011 compensation plan for InsWeb’s directors and executive officers. The compensation plan is comprised of cash compensation and option grants. In approving the 2011 compensation plan, the Committee considered, among other factors, InsWeb’s financial and operating performance, market conditions and general compensation trends for publicly traded companies. The objectives of the compensation plan are to attract, motivate and retain talented and dedicated employees, and to provide InsWeb’s executive officers with both cash and equity incentives to further the Company’s interests and those of our stockholders.
As recommended by the Committee and approved by the Board of Directors, the 2011 annual base cash compensation for Hussein Enan (CEO) increases from $12 to $300,000. Mr. Enan’s annual salary has been $12 since 2006. The 2011 annual base cash compensation for Kiran Rasaretnam (CFO) increases from $206,000 to $212,180; the 2011 annual base cash compensation for Steve Yasuda (Chief Accounting Officer) increases from $160,144 to $169,753; and the 2011 annual case cash compensation for Eric Loewe (General Counsel and Secretary) increases from $206,000 to $218,360. Additionally, the 2011 annual base cash compensation for Rick Natsch, President, Potrero Media Corporation will be $12. Mr. Enan, Mr. Rasaretnam, Mr. Yasuda and Mr. Loewe also were granted stock options which vest over two years.
To align the compensation of the executive officers with increased shareholder value, the Compensation Committee also approved a quarterly performance-based cash bonus for Mr. Enan, Mr. Rasaretnam, Mr. Yasuda and Mr. Loewe. Subject to certain minimum and maximum thresholds, the amount of the cash bonus paid is based on quarterly revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets to be established by the Compensation Committee at its meeting in February, 2011.
A summary of the 2011 compensation for each named executive officer is shown in the table below:
