Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Adoption of Incentive Program for 2013
On February 21, 2013, the compensation committee of our board of directors (the “Committee”) adopted a short-term incentive program (the “2013 Incentive Program”) to provide the short-term cash incentive compensation element of our total direct compensation program for this year. The Committee set the cash incentive target under the 2013 Incentive Program for each of the following individuals, our Named Executive Officers, as a specified percentage of his base salary:
| Executive Officer | | Title | | 2013 Cash Incentive Target (% of base salary) |
| D. Bradley Childers | | President and Chief Executive Officer | | 100 | |
| William M. Austin | | Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | | 70 | |
| Joseph G. Kishkill | | Senior Vice President | | 70 | |
| Ronaldo Reimer | | Senior Vice President | | 70 | |
| Daniel K. Schlanger | | Senior Vice President | | 70 | |
Each Named Executive Officer’s potential cash incentive payout ranges from 0% to 200% of his target, as may be adjusted by the Committee in its discretion.
Actual payouts under the 2013 Incentive Program will be based on the Committee’s assessment of our performance for 2013 relative to one or more of the following performance indicators, as well as such other factors or criteria that the Committee in its discretion deems appropriate:
| | • | Financial performance, including EBITDA, as adjusted; |
| | • | Safety, to be assessed by specific corporate, regional and group metrics, including the incident rate for recordable injuries; |
| | • | Service quality, to be assessed by various regional and group metrics for measuring and enhancing customer service, including equipment service availability; and |
| | • | People, to be assessed by successful implementation of various regional and group initiatives intended to optimize and enhance our company culture. |
The Committee intends to award performance-based short-term incentive compensation under the 2013 Incentive Program based on its assessment of: (1) for all Named Executive Officers, overall company financial performance, including EBITDA, as adjusted, (2) for Messrs. Kishkill, Reimer and Schlanger, each officer’s operating unit performance relative to the performance indicators, (3) each officer’s individual contribution toward our company and/or operating unit performance, including his demonstrated leadership and implementation of our business strategy, (4) the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to himself), and (5) any other factors or criteria that the Committee may choose to consider, in its discretion. No specific weight will be given to any of these factors. The Committee has reserved the right to modify the list of performance indicators, as well as target levels of one or more of these indicators, in its discretion based on internal and external developments during the course of 2013.
We anticipate that awards earned under the 2013 Incentive Program for the year ending December 31, 2013 will be determined and paid in the first quarter of 2014.
Adjustments to Base Salaries for 2013
On February 21, 2013, the Committee set the 2013 annual base salaries of our Named Executive Officers as follows:
| Executive Officer | | Title | | 2013 Base Salary ($) |
| D. Bradley Childers | | President and Chief Executive Officer | | 650,000 | |
| William M. Austin | | Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | | 300,000 | |
| Joseph G. Kishkill | | Senior Vice President | | 355,000 | |
| Ronaldo Reimer | | Senior Vice President | | 330,000 | |
| Daniel K. Schlanger | | Senior Vice President | | 365,000 | |
We anticipate that adjustments to base salaries will be effective in late March 2013.
