On March 21, 2011, the nominating and corporate governance/compensation committee of our board of directors approved amendment one to the amended and restated employment agreement with our chief executive officer, Michael Bush. The amended and restated employment agreement previously provided that Mr. Bush is eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus (“Incentive Bonus”) during the term of his employment with the Company. Amendment one of the amended and restated employment agreement which became effective as of March 21, 2011, specifically provides that Mr. Bush is eligible for an Incentive Bonus for 2011 (the “2011 Incentive Bonus”) that will be subject to the terms and conditions of the NTN Buzztime, Inc. Executive Incentive Plan for Eligible Employees of NTN Buzztime, Inc. for Fiscal Year 2011; provided that Mr. Bush’s 2011 Incentive Bonus will be guaranteed at a minimum of $50,000. Any Incentive Bonus, including the 2011 Incentive Bonus, will be paid to Mr. Bush within thirty days after receipt of the independent auditor’s report on the Company’s annual financial statements for the year in question, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year that the Incentive Bonus relates. An Incentive Bonus will not be deemed earned and will not be paid to Mr. Bush unless Mr. Bush is employed by the Company on such payment date and it will be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan document governing the Incentive Bonus for the applicable fiscal year. Payment of an Incentive Bonus, if any, will be subject to withholdings in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures.
The foregoing description of Mr. Bush’s amendment one to the amended and restated employment agreement is quantified in its entirety by reference to the full text of amendment one to the amended and restated employment agreement, which will be filed with our periodic report for the applicable period.
