Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) At its meeting on August 31, 2009, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors formally approved the Company’s fiscal year 2009 Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan (the "2009 Incentive Plan"). The 2009 Incentive Plan sets forth the methodology by which the Company will calculate annual bonuses for fiscal year 2009 for specified employees of the Company, including executive officers, based upon the achievement of specified corporate and individual performance objectives. The corporate performance objective under the 2009 Incentive Plan has been established by the Compensation Committee and relates to the achievement of a specified level of earnings before adjustments for interest and taxes (EBIT). Bonuses for the named executive officers are based entirely on the Company’s corporate performance objective. The 2009 Incentive Plan also sets forth the fiscal year 2009 target bonus amounts, expressed as a percentage of base salary, for the following executive officers of the Company, each of whom is considered a "named executive officer" for fiscal year 2009 under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules: Name Robert E. Alderson (President and Chief Executive Officer): Target Bonus of $400,000.00 (which is 100% of base salary) W. Michael Madden (Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer): Target Bonus of $195,000.00 (which is 75% of $260,000.00 base salary) The actual bonus payable to a participating employee under the 2009 Incentive Plan may be more or less than his or her target bonus amount, depending on whether actual performance meets or exceeds the stated objectives.
