Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
 (e). Approval of Named Executive Officer Compensation Plan.
On April 4, 2016, the Board of Directors of National American University Holdings, Inc. (the Company) approved the Named Executive Officer Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), in connection with establishing the overall compensation levels for the executive management team of the Company, other than the Chief Executive Officer, for the upcoming 2017 fiscal year. The Plan is applicable to the Company’s executive officers, including Dr. David Heflin, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Robert Paxton, the Company’s President of Strategic Initiatives, but is not applicable to the Chief Executive Officer. The Plan will become effective on June 1, 2016. The Plan has a base salary component, a quarterly achievement award component and an annual achievement award component.
Base Salary
Under the Plan, Dr. Heflin’s annual base salary for fiscal 2017 will be $185,000 and Dr. Paxton’s annual base salary for fiscal 2017 will be $190,000.
Quarterly Achievement Award
The Plan provides for a quarterly achievement award based on meeting the Company’s quarterly pre-tax profit margin goals and certain quarterly organizational objectives related to institutional effectiveness goals. For each fiscal quarter in which the Company achieves the pre-approved budgeted quarterly pre-tax profit margins (“profit target”), Dr. Heflin and Dr. Paxton would receive an award equal to 10% of their annual base salaries or 5% for achieving more than 90% but less than 100% of the profit target. In addition, for each fiscal quarter in which the Company achieves a performance index of 90% or better for institutional effectiveness, Dr. Heflin and Dr. Paxton would receive an award equal to 10% of their annual base salaries or 5% for achieving a performance index of greater than 80% but less than 90% for institutional effectiveness. The maximum amount of quarterly achievement awards that Dr. Heflin and Dr. Paxton may be entitled to receive in fiscal 2017 is 80% of their annual base salaries.
Annual Achievement Award
The annual achievement award component is determined based on the Company’s actual earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT, for the fiscal year 2017. To the extent that actual EBIT exceeds budgeted EBIT for fiscal 2017, as determined by the Board, each of Dr. Heflin and Dr. Paxton would receive an award equal to 5% of the excess up to a maximum of 75% of his annual base salary.
The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
