Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

On May 1, 2012, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Parametric Sound Corporation (the “Company”), consisting of the four independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved, and the Board of Directors of the Company subsequently ratified, a Company Cash Bonus Plan (“Bonus Plan”) for the period April 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, pursuant to which each executive officer (Kenneth J. Potashner - Executive Chairman, Elwood G. Norris – President and James A. Barnes – Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary) and certain other officers, consultants and employees designated by the Board of Directors are eligible to receive a target bonus equal to a percentage of the executive officer’s or other individual’s annualized base compensation if applicable performance objectives are met. The performance objectives recommended by the independent directors and adopted by the Board of Directors are based 25% upon the Company achieving minimum revenue performance targets during the performance period, 25% upon the Company achieving minimum licensing targets during the performance period, 25% based on the Company achieving during the performance period technology development targets established by the Board of Directors and 25% on the Company or its licensees or partners achieving new HSS technology product milestones established by the Board of Directors during the performance period. These performance objectives include both objective determinations and subjective determinations to be made by the Board of Directors.

 

The maximum bonus percentage for each participant including Mr. Norris and Mr. Barnes is 50% of his or her annual base compensation. The maximum bonus percentage for the Company’s Executive Chairman is 60% of his base compensation. All computations are adjusted to 75% to reflect the nine-month bonus performance period from April 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

 

Additionally any earned bonuses may only be paid to the extent of the Company has generated sufficient cash from product sale margins, licensing/royalty collections or other earnings during the applicable period to cover the cash bonuses. Such determinations will be made by the Board of Directors. Any bonuses not so payable shall be deferred until such future date that computed amounts generated on a cumulative basis meets the target payout amount.

 

If, during the bonus period, a corporate transaction or event occurs that the independent directors determine has or would distort the applicable performance criteria, the independent directors may adjust the calculation of the performance goals to the extent necessary to prevent a reduction or enlargement of a participant's actual bonus payout.

 

Bonuses, if any, will be determined by January 30, 2013 and paid by March 15, 2013. Each participant must be employed by the Company as of January 1, 2013 in order to receive a bonus, if any, under the Bonus Plan unless otherwise provided in such participant's employment agreement, offer letter or other agreement.

 

Nothing in the Bonus Plan limits the authority of the Board of Directors or the independent members of the Board of Directors to approve and pay out additional or alternative bonuses to the Company's officers or others based on performance or provide the Company's officers or others additional or alternative incentives outside of the terms of the Bonus Plan.

 

On May 1, 2012 the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors approved, and our Board of Directors subsequently ratified, changes to the compensation of two of our executive officers. Elwood G. Norris, President of the Company, will receive an annual base salary, effective April 1, 2012, of $162,000, and James A. Barnes, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary will receive an annual base salary, effective April 1, 2012 of $162,000.
