On October 31, 2013, CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into amendments of its employment agreements with each of Edward J. Fred, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Executives”).
Mr. Fred’s amended and restated employment agreement with the Company, dated as of December 16, 2009 (as amended on November 4, 2011 and February 3, 2012), was amended to extend the end of its term from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2016 and to provide for Mr. Fred’s base salary to be $400,000 for each of 2015 and 2016. For each of 2015 and 2016, Mr. Fred may also be awarded a merit bonus in an amount not to exceed five percent of his base salary, such merit bonus, if any, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company on the basis of Mr. Fred’s attainment of individual performance goals.
Mr. McCrosson’s employment agreement with the Company, dated as of December 16, 2009 (as amended November 4, 2011), was amended to extend the end of its term from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2016 and to provide for Mr. McCrosson’s base salary to be $275,000 for 2015. Mr. McCrosson’s base salary for 2015 is subject to a merit increase of up to five percent of $275,000, such increase, if any, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee on the basis of Mr. McCrosson’s attainment of individual performance goals. Mr. McCrosson’s base salary for 2016 will be at least equal to his base salary for 2015 (including any merit increase in base salary for 2015), subject to a merit increase of up to five percent, such increase, if any, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee on the basis of Mr. McCrosson’s attainment of individual performance goals.
Mr. Palazzolo’s employment agreement with the Company, dated as of December 16, 2009 (as amended on November 4, 2011), was amended to extend the end of its term from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2016. Mr. Palazzolo’s base salary for 2015 will be at least equal to his base salary for 2014, subject to a merit increase of up to five percent, such increase, if any, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee on the basis of Mr. Palazzolo’s attainment of individual performance goals. Mr. Palazzolo’s base salary for 2016 will be at least equal to his base salary for 2015, subject to a merit increase of up to five percent, such increase, if any, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee on the basis of Mr. Palazzolo’s attainment of individuall performance goals.
Each of the Executives will continue to earn a performance bonus based on changes in the Company’s revenues and EBITDA from the prior year. The target annual bonus for Messrs. Fred and Palazzolo remain unchanged from prior years; however, for 2015 and 2016, Mr. McCrosson’s target annual bonus will be increased from forty-five percent to fifty percent of his annual base salary. The general method of calculating such bonuses remains the same, except that the growth targets for 2015 and 2016 have been modified as follows:
