Compensation of Named Executive Officers

 

GSE Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-175475) (the “Registration Statement”), which became effective on February 9, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), and filed the related final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) on February 10, 2012. The summary compensation table for the 2011 fiscal year that was included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus did not reflect 2011 non-equity incentive plan compensation under the Company’s performance-based cash incentive plan because these amounts were not calculable on the Effective Date.

 

On March 9, 2012, the non-equity incentive plan compensation earned in 2011 by the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) became calculable. The non-equity incentive plan compensation and total compensation for fiscal 2011, respectively, for the Company’s NEOs were as follows: Mark C. Arnold, $528,000 and $988,807; William F. Lacey, $41,000 and $152,139; Peter R. McCourt, $144,000 and $417,740; Jeffery D. Nigh, $147,000 and $411,769; and Gregg Taylor, $81,000 and $327,592.

 

For more information regarding our non-equity incentive plan, see “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Performance-Based Cash Incentive Awards” in the Prospectus.
