On May 9, 2013, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Hanger, Inc. (the Company) adopted the Hanger, Inc. Defined Contribution Supplemental Retirement Plan (the DC SERP). The DC SERP is a nonqualified defined contribution plan, for participation by certain executive officers and other senior employees of the Company.
Under the DC SERP, an account will be created for each participant. The Company may credit a participants account with either an amount equal to a specified percentage of the participants base salary or a stated flat dollar amount. Earnings on the credited amounts will be based on the performance of various investment funds selected by the participant. A participants right to receive benefits will generally vest after five continuous years of employment and participation in the DC SERP, five continuous years of employment and the participant having reached age 60, or a termination of employment without cause or for good reason within one year after the Company undergoes a change in its ownership or effective control. The DC SERP permits participants to elect to receive distributions, which generally become payable only upon a termination of employment with the Company, in either a lump sum or in up to fifteen annual installments.
The foregoing description of the DC SERP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the DC SERP that is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
