Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 13, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Green Dot Corporation (the “Company”) approved the Company's 2012 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Plan (“Plan”), which is designed to reward designated executive officers, including executive officers identified as named executive officers in the Company's 2011 annual meeting proxy statement, if the Company achieves annual profit before taxes and annual revenue objectives for 2012.
The named executive officer participants in the Plan, and their 2012 on-target bonus amounts under the Plan, are: Steven W. Streit, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer -- $210,000; John L. Keatley, Chief Financial Officer -- $170,000; William D. Sowell, Chief Operating Officer -- $164,000; and John C. Ricci, General Counsel and Secretary -- $144,000.
Under the Plan, participants are eligible to receive one annual bonus, each in an amount equal to the participant's full 2012 on-target bonus for achievement of the two financial objectives described below. The actual bonus payment is the on-target bonus payment multiplied by a percentage (which may be more or less than 100% but shall not exceed 150%) that varies depending upon achievement of the financial objectives. Each of the financial objectives is given equal weight, except that no bonus shall be payable if the Company fails to achieve at least 90% of both financial objectives.
The financial objectives under the Plan are expressed in terms of the (i) annual goals contained in the Company financial plan for profit before tax, which is calculated by adding the amount of all stock-based compensation to the amount of income before income taxes reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations; and (ii) annual goals contained in the Company financial plan for annual revenue, which is calculated by adding the amount of stock-based retailer incentive compensation to the amount of total operating revenues reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
The financial targets under the Plan may be modified or adjusted for non-recurring or extraordinary items.
