In addition, in connection with his promotion to President of the Company and relocation from the Company’s Australian office to the Company’s corporate headquarters in Huntington Beach, California, the Committee approved a relocation package for Mr. Healy consisting of a $75,000 relocation bonus, reimbursement of moving expenses, a monthly housing allowance, payments for two return trips to Australia per year, tax advisory services and the use of a Company vehicle.

As reported on the Previous 8-K, the Board removed Andy Mooney as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, effective March 27, 2015. On April 7, 2015, the Company and Mr. Mooney entered into a separation agreement with respect to his departure from the Company (the “Separation Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, consistent with the terms of the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Mooney dated January 2, 2013, as amended, the Company will pay Mr. Mooney wage continuation pay in the total amount of $2,504,800, less required tax deductions and withholdings, payable commencing May 2015 and ending March 2017. In addition, if Mr. Mooney would have actually earned a bonus award pursuant to the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan for the Company’s fiscal year 2015, Mr. Mooney will be paid a pro rata portion of such bonus, as and when such bonus awards are made to other executives of the Company.

The Separation Agreement further provides that Mr. Mooney will retain: (i) 480,000 Stock Price-Based RSUs (as defined in the 2015 Proxy on page 26), pursuant to the restricted stock unit agreement between the Company and Mr. Mooney, dated January 11, 2013, (ii) 669,767 Stock Price-Based RSUs, pursuant to the restricted stock unit agreement between the Company and Mr. Mooney, dated March 19, 2013, and (iii) 140,000 2015 PSUs (as defined in the 2015 Proxy on page 28), pursuant to the performance restricted stock unit agreement between the Company and Mr. Mooney, dated November 3, 2014. The foregoing retained Stock Price-Based RSUs and 2015 PSUs will continue to be subject to the vesting conditions set forth in the applicable award agreement. In addition, pursuant to the amendment to Mr. Mooney’s employment agreement entered into on November 3, 2014, and the related restricted stock unit agreement, 281,532 restricted stock units granted to Mr. Mooney in lieu of a cash base salary for fiscal year 2015 will vest and the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued to Mr. Mooney. All other restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Mooney will be cancelled and forfeited.

The Separation Agreement also provides for other customary terms and conditions, including a release of claims against the Company and its affiliates by Mr. Mooney.
