On March 7, 2012, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (the “Company”), following the recommendation of its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), approved certain adjustments to the salaries of certain members of its senior leadership team, including Messrs. Worth W. Boisture, Jr., the Chairman of Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Shawn W. Vick, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Customers, and William E. Brown, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Global Operations, each effective as of January 1, 2012. These adjustments constitute the retroactive restoration of the 10% voluntary pay reductions which such executives had taken beginning in August 2009 (for Mr. Boisture) and November 2010 (for Messrs. Vick and Brown). After restoring their salaries to the levels they were at prior to the voluntary reductions, the annual salaries for Messrs. Boisture, Vick and Brown, effective as of January 1, 2012, became $630,000 and $330,000 and $290,000, respectively. In addition to resetting salaries to their pre-reduction levels, the Company shall make a lump sum payment of $10,904 to Mr. Boisture, $5,712 to Mr. Vick and $5,019 to Mr. Brown, which amounts represent the amount of salary which each executive has forgone since January 1, 2012.
The Board also approved a salary increase of approximately 4%, effective as of March 5, 2012, for Messrs. Vick and Brown. After accounting for these salary adjustments, the annual salaries for Messrs. Vick and Brown, effective as of March 5, 2012, are $342,000 and $302,000, respectively.
The Board, following the recommendation of the Committee, also authorized the Company to enter into severance agreements (the “Severance Agreements”) with Messrs. Vick and Brown. The Severance Agreements provide that if the Company terminates the subject executive without “Cause” or if the subject executive resigns with “Good Reason” (each as defined in the applicable Severance Agreement), the Company shall pay such executive a lump sum cash amount equal to his salary (as of the time of termination) and his target management incentive plan bonus (for the year in which he was terminated) (the “Severance Amount”). In order to receive the Severance Amount, the subject executive will be required to execute a general release in favor of the Company in a form acceptable to the Company (the “General Release”). The Severance Amount, if any, shall be paid out within 60 days of the termination date and as promptly as practical after the date on which the executive executes the General Release.
