ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

(e) Compensation of Named Executive Officers

On December 12, 2011, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (1) set the annual base salaries of our named executive officers for 2012 and (2) established a senior management bonus plan for 2012. In addition, on December 12, 2011, based on the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors made certain modifications to the compensation payable to non-employee directors commencing in 2012.

2012 Base Salaries

2012 annual base salaries for our named executive officers will remain at 2011 levels.

2012 Senior Management Bonus Plan

Certain members of our senior management team who are ineligible to participate in our profit-sharing bonus program for associates and who are not commissioned salespeople may be eligible to receive incentive awards under our 2012 senior management bonus plan if certain performance targets set by the compensation committee are achieved under such plan for 2012. Bonuses under such plan will be based 50 percent upon our company’s gross revenue dollars and 50 percent upon our company’s adjusted EBITDA, which will be calculated based upon our company’s accounting practices, consistently applied and upon GAAP standards applicable to our company. “Adjusted EBITDA” as used by our Compensation Committee equals our company’s earnings before all interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and stock-based expenses but after payment of non-equity based employee bonuses.

The following chart sets forth the target bonus under the 2012 senior management bonus plan for each of our named executive officers.

Name and Position of Executive Officer

     2012 Target
Bonus
 

Scott W. Koller

President and Chief Executive Officer

     $ 250,000   

Darin P. McAreavey

Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

     $  75,000   

If earned, the foregoing amounts will be payable 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in the form of a stock bonus granted on the date of the audit report on our 2012 financial statements (and calculated using the closing price on that date); provided, however, that our Compensation Committee reserves the right to pay such amounts entirely in stock (calculated in the same manner). Any portion of such bonuses that is paid in equity will be issued pursuant to our Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

The foregoing discussion of our 2012 senior management bonus plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the plan itself, which is attached as Exhibit 10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 5.02(e).

Compensation for Non-Employee Directors

As previously reported, on October 27, 2011, our Board of Directors reduced the compensation paid to non-employee directors to the following amounts, effective January 1, 2012:

 

   

$10,000 in annual compensation for each director;

 

2


   

An additional $24,000 in annual compensation for the Chairman of the Board (compared to $45,000 previously);

 

   

Elimination of per-meeting fees;

 

   

An additional $2,000 annually, per committee, for service on each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee; and

 

   

An additional $2,000 annually for the Chairmen of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

On December 12, 2011, our Board of Directors modified the form such payments will take, the timing of such payments and the vesting of the equity component of such payments. In particular, the foregoing amounts will be payable 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in the form of a stock bonus (rather than a restricted stock award). The cash component will be paid quarterly in arrears. The equity component will be granted on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter during which the Board Chairman, Board member, Committee member, and Committee Chairman served our company in such capacity. Such stock bonuses will be issued pursuant to our 2006 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan.
