Mr. Miceli will transition from his role as Senior Vice President, Environmental Solutions Group to Vice President and General Manager of the Company’s Vactor Manufacturing, Inc. subsidiary.

(c)    On December 15, 2017, the Company appointed Mark D. Weber, 60, as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective January 15, 2018. Mr. Weber rejoins the Company after four years at Supreme Industries, Inc. (“Supreme”). Mr. Weber joined Supreme in May 2013 as President and Chief Executive Officer, serving in that capacity up to the sale of Supreme to Wabash National Corporation, which was completed on September 27, 2017. Prior to joining Supreme, Mr. Weber worked for 17 years as an executive within the Company’s Environmental Solutions Group, including a decade as Group President. Mr. Weber holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rose Hulman Institute of Technology and a Master of Business Administration degree from Indiana University.

There are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Weber, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Weber and any of the directors or officers of the Company.

In connection with Mr. Weber’s appointment, the Company and Mr. Weber executed an employment offer letter (“the Weber Employment Letter”) setting forth the terms of Mr. Weber’s employment. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Weber Employment Letter, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus: Mr. Weber will be eligible for an annual cash incentive bonus equal to 65% of his annual base salary at target and capped at 130% of his annual base salary, calculated and paid according to the Company’s Short-Term Incentive Bonus Plan, prorated for 2018 based on the effective date of his employment.

Long-Term Incentive Bonus: Subject to the approval of the Company’s Compensation and Benefits Committee (the “CBC”), Mr. Weber will be eligible to receive long-term equity incentive compensation awards beginning in 2018 with a target value of approximately $500,000.

In addition, Mr. Weber will be eligible for Tier I Change-in-Control benefits under the terms of the applicable agreement. Mr. Weber will not be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive General Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), unless and until both of the following pre-conditions are satisfied: (i) he has worked for the Company as its Chief Operating Officer for a period of one year from his start date; and (ii) Jennifer L. Sherman is no longer serving as Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. If Mr. Weber becomes eligible, his eligibility shall automatically end and discontinue notwithstanding any terms set forth in the Severance Plan to the contrary, without any severance payment or other obligation owed to him, on August 1, 2022. During any period that Mr. Weber is eligible to participate in the Severance Plan, his eligibility shall be as a Tier I Executive. Mr. Weber is not eligible to participate in the Company’s General Severance Pay Plan at any time.
