The above increase in Mr. Knutson’s base salary is effective February 23, 2015.
The target incentive bonus is based on the FY 2015 Corporate Incentive Plan (“CIP”), which the Committee adopted and approved on July 30, 2014. The CIP establishes the target bonus for Mr. Knutson based on the following factors and relative weights for each factor: (i) corporate economic profit (70%), (ii) inventory turns (15%), and (iii) sales growth (15%). In no event will an incentive payment under the CIP exceed 200% of the target. An incentive payment to Mr. Knutson under the CIP may be increased or decreased by up to 20%, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer.
In addition, the Committee also granted 2,500 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Knutson. The shares will vest on July 30, 2017, provided Mr. Knutson remains employed as of such vesting date. The restricted stock will fully vest if Mr. Knutson terminates employment due to death or disability, or following a change in control of the Company. A copy of the Form of Restricted Stock Grant Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1.
Finally, at its February 19, 2015 meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company promoted Mr. Knutson to Vice President – Finance. Mr. Knutson will continue to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Treasurer, as well as Corporate Controller and Secretary.
