Effective June 30, 2012, we entered into revised executive agreements with our named executive officers that provide certain payments and benefits upon a change of control of the company. These revised executive agreements amend certain material provisions in the prior executive agreements, as summarized below. The description of our existing executive agreements can be found in our most recent annual proxy statement, which was filed on Form DEF14A on October 4, 2011.
The revised executive agreements eliminated the excise tax gross-up payment payable to our named executive officers. They include instead a “best pay” limitation, which reduces the severance payments and benefits payable to the extent necessary so that no portion of any payments or benefits payable upon a change of control of our company would be subject to the excise tax under Section 280G of the US Internal Revenue Code.
In addition, the revised executive agreements include a provision to reimburse legal fees to the prevailing party in the event of a dispute under the agreement between the company and the named executive officer.
The revised executive agreements are substantially in the form of the executive agreement attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
