Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 23, 2016, upon recommendation from its Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”) approved the Enstar Group Limited 2016-2018 Annual Incentive Compensation Program (the “Annual Incentive Program”), which provides for the annual grant of bonus compensation to the Company’s officers and employees, including its senior executive officers. This plan replaces the 2011-2015 Annual Incentive Compensation Program.
The Compensation Committee will administer the Annual Incentive Program and will determine, in its sole discretion, the allocation of the bonus pool among the participants. Bonus awards for each calendar year will be determined based on a percentage of the Company’s consolidated net after-tax profits. The percentage will be 15% unless the Compensation Committee exercises its discretion to change the percentage no later than 60 days after the Company’s year-end. Pursuant to the Annual Incentive Program, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to establish quantitative or qualitative performance objectives and corresponding target bonus amounts. Awards under the Annual Incentive Program may be paid in cash, ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan, or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
