On March 28 2014, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of P & F Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) held a meeting (the “March 28 Meeting”) pursuant to which it modified certain terms of the Executive Employment Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”), between the Company and Richard A. Horowitz, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board (“Mr. Horowitz”). At the March 28 Meeting, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Horowitz’s annual rate of base salary for 2014 from $650,000 to $700,000 effective as of January 1, 2014. Additionally, with respect to the potential 2014 bonus pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive 162(m) Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”), the Compensation Committee increased the target from 50% of Mr. Horowitz’s then-current base salary to 55% of his current base salary, and the maximum bonus based on exceeding performance targets was increased from 150% of his then-current base salary to 165% of his current base salary.

 

Further, at the March 28 Meeting, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Horowitz and Joseph A. Molino, Jr., the Company’s Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer would each be participating in the Bonus Plan for 2014, and the Compensation Committee set the maximum bonus for 2014 for each such officers, based on the level of earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization to be achieved by the Company for fiscal 2014 with certain adjustments, which is subject to reduction by the Compensation Committee based on a narrower earnings-based achievement standard and other factors.
