Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 27, 2014, as part of its annual compensation review process, Quality Distribution, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Modification to Terms of Employment (collectively, the “Modifications”) agreements with certain of its executives, including its named executive officers employed by the Company. The Modifications increase the annual base salary of each of these named executive officers and increase the annual performance-based cash-based management incentive plan (referred to in the Modifications as bonus) target opportunity as a percentage of base salary for certain of these executives. Under the Modifications, these named executive officers are also eligible for an annual equity award, at the discretion of and subject to performance targets and other terms established by, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, at a target equal to a percentage of the executive’s base salary. Any annual equity award must be made at the same time as annual equity awards are normally made to similarly situated employees of the Company. The remaining terms of these named executive officers’ respective employment agreements, including Mr. Wilson’s annual cash management incentive plan target of 50% of base salary, remain unaffected. The table below reflects the base salary, target management incentive plan award and target equity award for each of these named executive officers following the Modifications:
