Mattress Firm Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Steve Stagner, the Company’s president and chief executive officer. The First Amendment, which is retroactive to the beginning of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, increases Mr. Stagner’s base salary to $600,000 per year and increases his annual EBITDA target relating to the Mattress Firm Holding Corp. Executive Annual Incentive Plan to 75% of his annual base salary. No other terms of the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Mr. Stagner were revised.
The Company entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Steve Fendrich, the Company’s chief strategy officer. The First Amendment, which is retroactive to May 29, 2014, reflects Mr. Fendrich’s acceptance of a new role with the Company as its Executive Vice President, Mergers and Acquisitions. In this new role, Mr. Fendrich will be responsible for the oversight and direction of the transition and integration of operations and businesses acquired by the Company. The First Amendment reduces Mr. Fendrich’s annual base salary to $250,000 and his annual EBITDA target relating to the Mattress Firm Holding Corp. Executive Annual Incentive Plan to 35% of his annual base salary.
