Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On December 4, 2017, Knoll, Inc. (the "Company") approved 2018 non-equity incentive awards in the form attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K for the following executive officers: Andrew B. Cogan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Charles W. Rayfield, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Joseph T. Coppola, Chief Operating Officer, Benjamin A. Pardo, Executive Vice President - Director of Design, and David L. Schutte, Executive Vice President - Specialty Businesses. Pursuant to the award letters, each executive officer was granted a 2018 target non-equity incentive award equal to one hundred percent (100%) of his base salary. The award would be paid in 2019 based on 2018 operating performance. The amount ultimately paid will depend on the executive officer’s achievement of individual goals and the Company’s achievement of its operating profit plan; however, the Company's Board of Directors (or appropriate committee of the Company's Board of Directors) may exercise discretion in adjusting any award up or down based on factors deemed appropriate by the Company's Board of Directors (or appropriate committee of the Company's Board of Directors), but such award may not exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the executive officer’s base salary.
