On March 24, 2015, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the 2015 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”) which sets forth terms and conditions on which equity awards may be made by the Company under the Orchid Island Capital, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) which was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders.
Participants under the 2015 Plan will be eligible to earn awards for performance over the next one year, three year and five year periods. A bonus pool will be established under the 2015 Plan for each of the one, three and five year measurement periods. The amount credited to the bonus pool will be based on the Company’s performance under each of the three performance measures of the 2015 Plan for each of the three measurement periods. The Committee, in its discretion, will determine each Participant’s award.
Full details of the Plan are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K. Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
