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

On January 30, 2019, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of I.D. Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s 2019 Executive Incentive Plan (the “2019 EIP”) for eligible employees of the Company including certain of the Company’s named executive officers. The objectives of the 2019 EIP are to align the interests of all employees with the Company’s performance goals. Under the 2019 EIP, the Company’s performance goals are based on (i) revenue growth and (ii) “adjusted EBITDA,” which for these purposes is defined as the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding acquisition-related expenses, foreign currency translation and one-time extraordinary expenses that are approved by the Committee. Executives are eligible to be awarded cash bonus compensation based on the Company’s annual and quarterly results with respect to revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA. The 2019 EIP may be modified or terminated by the Committee at any time, but incentive awards that have been earned by the participating named executive officers through the date of termination of the 2019 EIP will be payable. In addition, target awards and weightings may be modified by the Committee during the plan year based upon a shift in focus or changing industry standards, or any other factors that the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee has the authority to administer the 2019 EIP and has the final decision on any discrepancies in interpretation of the 2019 EIP. Awards under the 2019 EIP are calculated as a percentage of an executive’s base salary. The target awards for named executive officers range from 75% to 100% of such named executive officer’s base salary. The maximum aggregate amount of the quarterly bonuses and annual bonus under the 2019 EIP for each executive is 300% of the target award for such executive.
