ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

On April 13, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PCTEL, Inc. (the “Company” or “PCTEL”) granted to Anthony Kobrinetz, the Company’s Vice President, Site Solutions Operations, Chief Technology Officer and Export Compliance Officer, in addition to his 2015 base salary and participation in the 2015 Short-Term Incentive Plan as set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 19, 2015, the opportunity to earn an equity award of up to 7,000 shares of PCTEL common stock based upon achievement of two performance measures in 2015. This stock incentive was awarded in conjunction with a decrease in Mr. Kobrinetz’s base compensation from $248,000 to $215,000. Mr. Kobrinetz will earn seventy-five percent (75%) of the award if he establishes a company-wide Export Compliance Program which defines and implements an appropriate process to assure compliance with all relevant United States export laws and regulations, utilizes necessary software and other tools to provide the current Entity List and other export-related information, trains appropriate personnel, monitors compliance with the Company’s export procedures, and resolves all export-related issues in a timely manner.

Mr. Kobrinetz will earn twenty-five percent (25%) of the equity award if the Company achieves its target 2015 revenue of $127 million (the “Target Amount”). If the Company achieves 2015 revenue of $114 million (the “Threshold Amount”), Mr. Kobrinetz will receive 875 shares. The equity award will be interpolated if the Company’s 2015 revenue is between the Threshold Amount and the Target Amount. For the purpose of calculating the Company’s 2015 revenue, there is a limit of $5 million of revenue contributed by acquired entities during the year, and the award is also subject to an Adjusted EBITDA penalty, as described below.

The equity award for Mr. Kobrinetz will be reduced by 25% if the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of the Company’s revenue (“Adjusted EBITDA Percentage”) is 8% or less, and the equity award will be reduced by 10% if the Adjusted EBITDA Percentage is less than 11% but greater than 8%. The term “Adjusted EBITDA” means GAAP operating profit excluding stock compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, restructuring charges, impairment charges, gain/loss on sale of product lines, and expenses included in GAAP operating profit to the extent their recovery is recorded below operating profit.
