Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On April 27, 2015, American National Insurance Company (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) announcing the April 24th election by the Board of Directors of James E. Pozzi as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company is filing this amendment to the Original Report to disclose the material compensation arrangements with respect to Mr. Pozzi.
At its regular meeting on July 28, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved certain material changes to Mr. Pozzi’s compensation. First, his annual base salary was increased to $900,000. Second, his aggregate Level 1 (threshold) and Level 2 (target) incentive award opportunities under the 2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan were increased to 150% and 300% of base salary, respectively. The Compensation Committee also capped his aggregate incentive award opportunity at target and directed that his incentive award be paid one-third in cash and two-thirds in restricted stock units, with quarterly payments as previously provided. The Compensation Committee further directed that these changes be effective as of May 1, 2015, with the Company to make “catch up” payments for Mr. Pozzi’s base salary and quarterly incentive compensation payments to implement these changes as of such date.
