Item 5.02.                                        Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On May 22, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Summer Infant, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved changes to the Company’s annual, short-term incentive bonus program, effective with the 2017 fiscal year (the “2017 STI Program”), in which the Company’s named executive officers participate.

 

The 2017 STI Program is designed to provide for potential payouts based on the achievement of a specified, pre-bonus adjusted EBITDA target, as compared to three metrics utilized in the fiscal 2016 annual incentive plan (pre-bonus adjusted EBITDA, contribution margin and operating cash flow).  In addition, for members of the Company’s senior management team, including the Company’s named executive officers, 20% of their total target bonus potential under the 2017 STI Program will be contingent on the executive meeting individual strategic objectives.
