Cash Bonuses Awarded under the Management Incentive Plan for the 2006 Fiscal Year.
The Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Complete Production Services, Inc. (the “Company”) approved annual cash bonus awards to its executive officers and members of senior management for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The awards were initially approved by the Compensation Committee on January 26, 2007 but were subject to confirmation and public release of the Company’s financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The cash bonus awards became effective on February 15, 2007 upon such confirmation and public release of the Company’s financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The cash bonus awards were made under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan (the “Bonus Plan”), as more fully described below. The Bonus Plan provided for the payment of the following cash bonuses based upon the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) performing between the “Over Achievement” and “Stretch” levels:
Executive Officers | Title | 2006 Cash Bonus Awards | ||
Joseph C. Winkler | President and Chief Executive Officer | $935,220 | ||
J. Michael Mayer | Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | $312,939 | ||
James F. Maroney III | Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel | $215,820 | ||
Kenneth L. Nibling | Vice President – Human Resources and Administration | $202,331 | ||
Robert L. Weisgarber | Vice President – Accounting and Controller | $166,361 |
The Management Incentive Plan.
The Bonus Plan permits the payment of yearly bonuses based upon pre-established performance criteria for each plan year. The Bonus Plan provides for four levels of performance: “Entry,” “Expected Value,” “Over Achievement” and “Stretch,” with the “Entry” level being the minimum level of performance that will be rewarded by the Bonus Plan and the “Stretch” level being the highest level of performance that will be rewarded by the Bonus Plan. For each calendar year, the Compensation Committee establishes in writing the “Entry,” “Expected Value,” “Over Achievement” and “Stretch” performance levels and potential bonus payouts for each Bonus Plan participant based upon the Company’s EBITDA. Potential bonus payouts are represented as a percentage of each participant’s base salary. The target incentive amount is earned when the “Expected Value” level of performance is reached. Achievement of the “Entry Level” performance level allows a payout of 10% of the target incentive amount, while achievement of the “Over Achievement” performance level allows a payout of 150% of the target incentive amount and achievement of the “Stretch” performance level allows a payout of two times the target incentive amount.

The performance objectives are expressed in terms of the Company’s financial performance for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, and are based 25% on the Company’s financial performance and 75% on the performance of individual divisions for division presidents. Following the end of the year in which the performance objectives are to be achieved, the Compensation Committee will, within the time prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, determine whether and to what extent the specified performance objectives have been achieved for the applicable year. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may reduce the bonus amount otherwise payable for failure to meet certain non-quantitative performance measures.
Under the Bonus Plan, if the employment of a participant is terminated prior to the completion of the performance period for any reason except disability, death, retirement, reduction-in-force or a change of control, any rights to any bonus payouts under the Bonus Plan will be forfeited. In the event of termination due to disability, death, retirement or reduction-in-force (which occurs during the fourth quarter of the plan year), a participant may receive a pro-rated award.
A copy of the Bonus Plan is attached hereto as exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
