The Nominating and Governance Committee has adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of any Director candidates recommended by shareholders other than 734 Agriculture or its affiliates, including 734 Investors, Alico’s largest shareholder group. Subject to the foregoing, the criteria for consideration of shareholder recommendations are as follows: (a) for each Annual Meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Nominating and Governance Committee will accept for consideration only one recommendation from any shareholder or affiliated group of shareholders; (b) only candidates who satisfy the Company’s minimum qualifications for Directors will be considered; and (c) in considering shareholder recommendations, the Nominating and Governance Committee will take into account, among other factors, the size and duration of the recommending shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company and whether the shareholder intends to continue holding that interest through the Annual Meeting date.

Corporate Governance

General

As of November 19, 2018, we no longer qualify as a “Controlled Company” under Nasdaq listing rules. Although we currently comply with certain of the Nasdaq listing rules applicable to companies that are not Controlled Companies, there are certain exemptions for Controlled Companies that we no longer benefit from, including that the Nasdaq listing rules require that each of the Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees be composed of at least a majority of Independent Directors within 90 days of the date on which we no longer qualified as a “Controlled Company” and that each such committee be composed entirely of independent directors within one year of such date. During these transition periods, we will continue to qualify for and may continue to utilize the available exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements as permitted by the Nasdaq listing rules. As indicated above, our Compensation Committee is already composed entirely of independent Directors. By February 17, 2019, we intend to adjust the composition of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to be composed of at least a majority of independent Directors, and by November 19, 2019, we intend to adjust the composition to be composed of all independent Directors.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Principles

The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all Directors, officers and employees. The code covers all areas of professional conduct, including conflicts of interest, unfair or unethical use of corporate opportunities, protection of confidential information, compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and oversight and compliance. The Board of Directors has also adopted Corporate Governance Principles to guide its own operations. Both documents are available on the Company’s website at http://www.alicoinc.com in the Corporate Governance section of the Investors webpage and are

available in printed form upon request from the Corporate Secretary, 10070 Daniels Interstate Court Suite 100, Fort Myers, FL 33913.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors currently consists of seven members. Currently the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by separate people. Effective December 31, 2016, Mr. Slack, who was at that time serving as the non-executive Chairman of the Board, became the Executive Chairman of the Company, and Mr. Brokaw, who was serving as a non-executive Director, became the Executive Vice Chairman of the Company. The Board of Directors believes that the current separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus his time and energy on managing and operating our Company while permitting our Company to take advantage of Mr. Slack’s broad business experience, financial business perspectives and extensive background in monitoring public companies. The Board of Directors determined to create a separate Vice Chairman role to focus on strategic initiatives and on optimizing the Company’s capital structure. The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Brokaw as Vice Chairman effective December 31, 2016, because of his extensive financial and investment expertise and strong background in mergers and acquisitions and capital markets. The Board of Directors also believes that its Independent Directors provide strong leadership and complement the talents of our management team.

The Board of Directors has delegated certain duties with respect to risk oversight for the Company to the Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of Independent Directors. Under the terms of the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is charged with discussing with management our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies. The Audit Committee provides regular reports to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors considers risk assessment and risk management policies where appropriate.

Communications with Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with the Board of Directors by forwarding written comments to the Board of Directors of Alico, Inc., 10070 Daniels Interstate Court, Suite 100, Fort Myers, Florida 33913. The Company's contact information and procedures are also included on the Company’s website at http://www.alicoinc.com.

Board of Directors Meetings

The Board of Directors met four times during fiscal year 2018. Each Director attended all of the Board of Directors meetings and committee meetings held by all committees on which they served. It is the Company’s policy to strongly encourage its Directors to attend the Annual Meeting of shareholders, in addition to attendance at regular Board of Directors and committee meetings. All of the Directors attended the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, either telephonically or in person.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis discusses the compensation program provided to our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs") in fiscal year 2018 and describes the compensation philosophy on which the fiscal year 2018 compensation was based. In fiscal year 2018, our NEOs were: George R. Brokaw, John E. Kiernan, Richard Rallo, James Sampel, Henry R. Slack and Remy W. Trafelet.

The Company’s compensation philosophy and program design is intended to support the Company’s business strategy and align executives’ interests with those of shareholders and employees. A significant portion of the Company’s executive compensation opportunity is related to factors that influence shareholder value, including return on assets, long-term stock performance, and operational performance. The Company believes that as an executive’s responsibilities increase, so should the proportion of his or her total pay comprised of variable compensation and tied to long-term shareholder value creation.

Say on Pay Vote

The Company implemented the Stock Incentive Plan of 2015 following approval by shareholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The plan includes a clawback provision and prohibits stock option repricing.

At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders expressed their support of our executive compensation philosophy and program by approving the non-binding advisory vote on our executive compensation. Approximately 94% of votes cast supported our executive compensation policies and practices.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews best practices related to executive compensation to ensure consistency with the Company's compensation philosophy. Consistent with this philosophy and taking into account business results, the following executive compensation practices were in place for fiscal year 2018:


•	total compensation levels for executives were generally positioned at or below the median (50th percentile) of the market;


•	discussions with compensation consultants were used to provide a reference point in the evaluation of executive compensation;


•	modest perquisites for executives; and


•	historical share awards have generally been paid from treasury stock, subject to availability.

The intent of the Company’s executive compensation program is to attract and retain talent and to create incentives for and reward excellent performance. To that end, we seek to compensate our executives in a manner that:


•	is competitive;


•	rewards performance that creates shareholder value and recognizes individual contribution; and


•	encourages longer-term value creation.

Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s financial performance and evaluates each executive’s role in influencing such performance to determine if, and to what extent, each NEO’s individual contribution merited discretionary compensation. The Compensation Committee utilizes quantitative and qualitative factors, including the accomplishment of initiatives, attitude, and leadership, to assess performance, taking into account the financial condition of the Company and the contribution of the NEOs in the context of relevant conditions. Conditions may include many factors beyond the executive’s control, such as weather, commodity prices, and strategic opportunities.

Compensation Consultants

The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors for all aspects of executive compensation, including the structure and design of the compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for retaining and terminating compensation consultants and determining the terms and conditions of their engagement. The Compensation Committee, from time to time, has engaged Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC to advise the Compensation Committee with respect to the Company’s compensation program and to perform various related studies and projects. The Compensation Committee reviewed the role of its compensation consultants and has concluded that no conflict of interest exists with Semler Brossy Consulting

Group, LLC and further believes that Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC is independent for the purpose of providing ongoing recommendations regarding executive compensation.

Pay Mix

As noted above, the Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of each executive’s compensation opportunity should be comprised of variable compensation and tied to value creation for shareholders. The Compensation Committee believes that this mix provides an appropriate balance between the fixed compensation required to attract and retain qualified individuals and the Compensation Committee’s goal of ensuring that executive compensation rewards performance that benefits shareholders over the long term.

Base Salaries

Base salaries for the Company’s NEOs are based on their scope of responsibilities, education and training levels, leadership abilities, performance and specialized skills. Determination of salaries is based on the Company’s financial performance, overall financial condition, individual performance, and the current competitive market environment, and may include a review of the Company’s peer group and other relevant data. Because the Compensation Committee wishes to incentivize executives with pay for performance, base salary levels of the Company are generally lower than the market median.

Annual salary rates for the NEOs for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are summarized in the table below:



NEO	FY 2018		FY 2017		FY 2016
Remy W. Trafelet	$	400,000	$	400,000	N/A
Henry R. Slack	$	—	$	250,000	N/A
George R. Brokaw	$	—	$	250,000	N/A
John E. Kiernan	$	360,000	$	360,000	$	325,000
Richard Rallo, CPA	$	225,000	$	225,000	N/A
James Sampel	$	200,000	$	200,000	$	200,000

Annual Discretionary Cash Bonuses

The Company has an annual discretionary cash bonus program (the “discretionary bonus program”). The Compensation Committee works closely with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to evaluate the Company’s financial performance and overall financial condition to determine whether or not discretionary bonuses are to be paid for the particular fiscal year.

When the Compensation Committee determines that the interests of the Company and its shareholders would be served by the payment of discretionary bonuses, the Compensation Committee considers the individual performance of each executive and his or her role in influencing Company performance and the financial condition of the Company. In the case of NEOs other than the CEO, these evaluations are based in part on input from the Company’s CEO regarding each executive’s performance. All Compensation Committee actions regarding the discretionary bonuses are subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors.

On September 4, 2018, the Compensation Committee approved the eligibility of Messrs. Trafelet and Kiernan for a 2018 annual bonus of up to $550,000 (in the case of Mr. Trafelet) and no less than $125,000 (for Mr. Kiernan), as determined by the Compensation Committee, based on its discretionary evaluation of their performance, and payable by the Company in a cash lump sum in accordance with its normal payroll practices no later than December 31, 2018, subject to their continued employment with the Company through the payment date.

Based on the Company’s financial results in fiscal year 2018, the Compensation Committee approved discretionary bonuses as follows:



Executive	Payout		% of Salary
Remy W. Trafelet	$	550,000	138	%
John E. Kiernan	$	545,000	151	%
Richard Rallo, CPA	$	90,000	40	%
James Sampel	$	60,000	30	%

The Compensation Committee believes that these discretionary bonuses are consistent with the Company’s fiscal year 2018 financial performance, reflect the competitive market, and are appropriate to the scope of responsibility and contribution made by each NEO.

Also on September 4, 2018, the Compensation Committee approved an aggregate bonus pool for Messrs. Trafelet and Kiernan for fiscal year 2019 of no less than $600,000 and no more than $2.35 million. The actual amount earned under the 2019 bonus pool will be allocated 70% to Mr. Trafelet and 30% to Mr. Kiernan.

Equity Compensation

On September 7, 2018, Mr. Trafelet was granted a stock option to purchase 210,000 shares of Alico common stock and Mr. Kiernan was granted a stock option to purchase 90,000 shares of Alico common stock. These stock options shall vest as follows: (a) 25% will vest if the fair market value of a share of Alico common stock exceeds $35.00 for 20 consecutive trading days; (b) 25% will vest if the fair market value of a share of Alico common stock exceeds $40.00 for 20 consecutive trading days; (c) 25% will vest if the fair market value of a share of Alico common stock exceeds $45.00 for 20 consecutive trading days; and (d) 25% will vest if the fair market value of a share of Alico common stock exceeds $50.00 for 20 consecutive trading days.

In connection with the grants to Messrs. Trafelet and Kiernan described above, each of Messrs. Slack and Brokaw (who held mirror outstanding stock options) agreed to forfeit a portion of their outstanding stock options as follows:


•	18,750 options with vesting price of $60.00;


•	56,250 options with vesting price of $75.00;


•	56,250 options with vesting price of $90.00; and


•	56,250 options with vesting price of $105.00.

As a result of the Compensation Committee’s overall assessment of the Company’s performance during the prior fiscal year, the Compensation Committee determined that additional option grants for Messrs. Trafelet and Kiernan were appropriate to properly incentivize management.

Retirement Benefits

Executives are allowed to participate in the Company’s tax-qualified 401(k) and profit sharing plan offered to all full-time employees. Under the plan, the Company provides a matching contribution of up to 4% of a participating employee’s eligible compensation. Additionally, annual discretionary contributions, based on a percentage of salary determined at the Board of Directors’ sole discretion, may be contributed pursuant to the qualified profit-sharing portion of the plan. There were no discretionary contributions authorized in fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2017. The Company authorized 3% discretionary contributions for fiscal year 2016.

Health and Welfare Benefits, Perquisites, and Other Fringe Benefits

The Company’s executives receive health and insurance benefits, such as group medical and life insurance, under plans generally available to all salaried employees. Other fringe benefits consist of supplemental life insurance, Company-provided vehicles, and housing allowances where appropriate. The Company does not own a corporate jet or helicopter (or any interest therein) nor does it pay for country club dues or other such perquisites.

Compensation Risk Assessment

From time to time, a comprehensive assessment is conducted to identify potential risks within the Company’s compensation program. The Company does not use highly leveraged short-term incentives that could encourage short-term, high-risk strategies at the expense of long-term performance and value. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee is heavily involved in making compensation decisions that are consistent with the Company’s business strategy. The Company’s compensation program promotes consistent, long-term performance by heavily weighting variable compensation so that it rewards executives for favorable operating and financial performance.

Employment Agreements

The Company entered into employment agreements with Mr. Kiernan during fiscal year 2015, and with Messrs. Trafelet, Slack and Brokaw at the end of calendar year 2016. These employment agreements are intended to provide continuity and stability in the leadership of our organization, and generally provide for a minimum annual base salary, a target annual bonus, grants of company shares tied to long-term performance, severance upon a qualifying termination of employment, and restrictive covenants. The employment agreements are described in further detail in “Executive Compensation-Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers” below.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its officers and Directors (each, an “Indemnified Party”). Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company agreed to indemnify each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against all expenses, judgments, and fines incurred in connection with any legal proceeding brought against an Indemnified Party by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer or Director of the Company or by reason of any action taken by him or her while acting on behalf of the Company. The Company also agreed to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies at existing coverage levels for as long as an Indemnified Party continues to serve as an officer or Director of the Company and for a period of six years thereafter.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for CEO and Directors

The Company believes that its CEO should have a financially significant investment in the Company so that his or her interest and the interest of the Company’s shareholders are aligned. In furtherance of this goal, in January 2013 the Board of Directors adopted a CEO Stock Purchase Policy requiring the CEO to beneficially own shares in the Company with a value equal to the higher of the market value or the price at which the CEO acquired the stock that is equal to or greater than $250,000 or the lesser amount applicable to a phase-in period (the “Company CEO Target Stock Ownership Requirement”), determined as of the end of each fiscal year. Mr. Trafelet met the Company CEO Target Stock Ownership Requirement throughout fiscal year 2018.

In 2005, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, a Director stock purchase policy requiring that all Directors own Alico common stock with a market value (or cost, if higher) that is equal to or greater than $200,000 or such lesser amount as is applicable to a phase-in period (the “Company Director Target Stock Ownership Requirement”). To provide Directors serving on the Board of Directors as of the date of the adoption of this policy and new Directors who subsequently join the Board of Directors the opportunity to meet this requirement over a reasonable period of time, each such Director has three years to achieve the overall Company Director Target Stock Ownership Requirement. If the Director is elected to the Board of Directors at a time when there is less than four months remaining in the fiscal year, then the three-year period for overall compliance with the Company Director Target Stock Ownership Requirement would be extended until two years following the end of the next full fiscal year. The Company Director Target Stock Ownership Requirement is measured at the end of the phase-in period and annually thereafter at the end of each fiscal year.

Tax Impact on Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) places a $1 million limit on the amount of compensation the Company may deduct for tax purposes in any year with respect to each NEO, exclusive of certain legacy performance-based compensation that meets applicable requirements. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”) generally eliminated the ability to deduct compensation qualifying for the “performance-based compensation” exception under Code Section 162(m) for tax years commencing after December 31, 2017. Code Section 162(m) imposes a $1 million limit on the amount that a public company may deduct for compensation paid to anyone who has ever been the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer or one of the three highest compensated officers in any fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2016 (i.e., a “covered employee”). For fiscal year 2018 and prior taxable years, an exception to this deduction limit applied to “performance-based compensation,” such as stock options and other equity awards that satisfied certain criteria. Under the Tax Act, the performance-based pay exception

to Code Section 162(m) was eliminated, but a transition rule may allow the exception to continue to apply to certain performance-based compensation payable under written binding contracts that were in effect on November 2, 2017.

The Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of compensation when designing the Company’s executive compensation program; however, there can be no assurance that all compensation, if and when any is paid to any NEO, will ultimately prove to be deductible to the Company under the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Further, when warranted due to competitive or other factors, the Compensation Committee may decide to exceed the deductibility limit under Section 162(m) of the Code or to otherwise pay nondeductible compensation.

Subsequent Developments

On November 19, 2018, Alico, with unanimous approval of the members of the Board other than Mr. Trafelet, notified Mr. Trafelet that it intends to consider terminating his employment for “cause” pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with the Company and option agreements entered into under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan of 2015. As required by such employment and option agreements, the Company will schedule a special meeting of the Board at a future date, at which meeting Mr. Trafelet and his counsel (if he so elects) may meet with the Board to address this matter. The Board will make its final determination as to Mr. Trafelet’s employment following such meeting. Mr. Trafelet has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of these proceedings.

In connection with the commencement of the termination proceedings described above, Mr. Fishman was appointed to serve as Interim President, effective as of November 19, 2018. Messrs. Slack and Fishman will manage the Company during the pendency of Mr. Trafelet’s administrative leave.

Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers

Remy W. Trafelet, Henry R. Slack, and George R. Brokaw

On December 31, 2016, the Company entered into new employment agreements with each of Messrs. Trafelet, Slack, and Brokaw. The employment agreements provided for an initial annual base salary of $400,000 in the case of Mr. Trafelet and $250,000 in the case of each of Messrs. Slack and Brokaw, in each case subject to increases from time to time as determined by the Company.

In connection with their execution of the employment agreement, each of Messrs. Trafelet, Slack, and Brokaw also received a stock option grant of 300,000 options (in the case of Mr. Trafelet) and 225,000 options (in the case of each of Messrs. Slack and Brokaw). Each of these option grants were to vest as follows: (a) 25% of the options will vest if the fair market value of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 20-trading day period exceeds $60.00; (b) 25% of the options will vest if such fair market value exceeds $75.00; (c) 25% of the options will vest if such fair market value exceeds $90.00; and (d) 25% of the options will vest if such fair market value exceeds $105.00. If the applicable stock price hurdles have not been achieved by (i) the second anniversary of the executive’s termination of employment, if the executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, (ii) the date that is 18 months following the executive’s termination of employment, if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, by the executive with good reason, or due to the executive’s retirement, or (iii) the date of the termination of the executive’s employment for any other reason, then any unvested options will be forfeited. In addition,

if the applicable stock price hurdles have not been achieved by the fifth anniversary of the grant date (or the fourth anniversary of the grant date, in the case of the tranche described in clause (a) above), then any unvested options will be forfeited. These option grants will also become vested to the extent that the applicable stock price hurdles are satisfied in connection with a change in control of the Company. As described above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Executive Compensation,” Messrs. Slack and Brokaw each agreed to the termination and forfeiture of 187,500 options in fiscal year 2018, such that they now each hold 37,500 options that will vest if the applicable stock price hurdle set forth in clause (a) is satisfied.

The employment agreements also provide that, if the applicable executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or the applicable Executive resigns with “good reason” (as each such term is defined in the employment agreements), then, subject to his execution, delivery, and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, the executive will be entitled to cash severance in an amount equal to 24 months (in the case of Mr. Trafelet) or 18 months (in the case of Messrs. Slack and Brokaw) of the executive’s annual base salary.

The employment agreements include various restrictive covenants in favor of the Company, including a confidentiality covenant, a nondisparagement covenant, and 12-month post-termination noncompetition and customer and employee non-solicitation covenants.

John E. Kiernan

On June 1, 2015, the Company entered into an employment agreement with John E. Kiernan, which provided for (i) an annual base salary of $325,000 (subject to increases from time to time as determined by the Company), (ii) a target annual bonus equal to 50% of his annual base salary and (iii) an initial equity award grant of 4,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock that vests in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date (the “Kiernan Sign-On Grant”) and an additional equity award grant of 4,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock that vests in full on the fifth anniversary of the grant date (the “Kiernan Additional Grant”), in each case subject to continued employment.

On November 27, 2017, Mr. Kiernan received a grant of 5,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock that vests in equal annual installments over three years, with the first set of shares vesting on June 1, 2018.

Mr. Kiernan’s employment agreement also includes various restrictive covenants in favor of the Company, including a confidentiality covenant, a nondisparagement covenant, and 12-month post-termination noncompetition and customer and employee nonsolicitation covenants.

Richard Rallo

On June 19, 2017, the Company entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Rallo establishing his compensation.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

Remy W. Trafelet, Henry R. Slack, and George R. Brokaw

As described above in “-Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers,” the employment agreements with each of Messrs. Trafelet, Slack, and Brokaw provide that, if the applicable executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or the applicable Executive resigns with “good reason” (as each such term is defined in the employment agreements), then, subject to his execution, delivery, and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and subject to his compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreements, the executive will be entitled to cash severance in an amount equal to 24 months (in the case of Mr. Trafelet) or 18 months (in the case of Messrs. Slack and Brokaw) of the executive’s annual base salary.

As described above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Subsequent Developments,” on November 19, 2018, Alico, with unanimous approval of the members of the Board other than Mr. Trafelet, notified Mr. Trafelet that it intends to consider terminating his employment for “cause” pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with the Company and option agreements entered into under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan of 2015. Mr. Trafelet has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of these proceedings.

John E. Kiernan

The employment agreement with Mr. Kiernan provides that, if the Company terminates Mr. Kiernan’s employment without cause or if, following a change of control of the Company, Mr. Kiernan resigns for good reason, then Mr. Kiernan will be entitled to receive, subject to his execution, delivery, and non-revocation of a release of claims and subject to his compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreement, an amount equal to his base salary for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Kiernan Sign-On Grant will also vest fully and immediately upon such a termination and, the Kiernan Additional Grant will vest on a pro rata basis upon such a termination.

The following table sets forth estimates of the amounts payable to each of the NEOs under their respective agreements, assuming a change of control occurred or the NEO experienced a qualifying termination of employment under his agreement on September 30, 2018.



Named Executive Officer	Termination without Cause prior to Change of Control ⁽¹⁾		Resignation for Good Reason prior to Change of Control ⁽²⁾		Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Following a Change of Control ⁽³⁾
Remy W. Trafelet	$	800,000	$	800,000	$	800,000

John E. Kiernan	$	607,855	$	—	$	607,855	⁽⁴⁾


(1)	Amounts in this column are payable over 24 months for Mr. Trafelet, 18 months for Mr. Slack and Mr. Brokaw and 12 months for Mr. Kiernan.


(2)	Amounts in this column are payable over 24 months for Mr. Trafelet and 18 months for Mr. Slack and Mr. Brokaw.


(3)	Severance amounts in this column are payable in a lump sum during the two-year period following a change of control.


(4)	Amounts in this column for Mr. Kiernan equal the amount of cash severance plus the value of plan-based stock award vesting due to Mr. Kiernan under his employment agreement (based on a price per share of common stock equal to the closing market price as of September 30, 2018).

CEO Compensation Pay Ratio

In August 2015, pursuant to a mandate of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the SEC adopted a rule requiring annual disclosure of the ratio of the median employee’s annual total compensation to the total annual compensation of the CEO. We believe that executive pay should be internally consistent and equitable to motivate our employees to create stockholder value. The annual total compensation for fiscal year 2018 for Mr. Trafelet, our President and CEO during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, was $2,541,757 as reported under the heading “Summary Compensation Table,” excluding stock compensation for Board of Director services. Our median employee’s total compensation for fiscal year 2018 was $76,506. As a result, we estimate that Mr. Trafelet’s fiscal year 2018 total compensation was approximately 33 times that of our median employee.

Our CEO to median employee pay ratio was calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We identified the median employee by examining fiscal year 2018 total compensation consisting of base salary, annual bonus amounts, stock-based compensation (based on the grant date fair value of awards during fiscal year 2018) and other incentive payments for all full-time, part-time, seasonal and hourly employees who were employed by the Company on September 30, 2018, other than our CEO. After identifying the median employee based on fiscal year 2018 total compensation, we calculated annual total compensation for such employee using the same methodology we use for our named executive officers as set forth in the “Total” column in the Summary Compensation Table.

The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Director Compensation

Director Fees

Under our director compensation arrangement that became effective on April 1, 2013, our Directors (including employee directors) receive an annual fee of $75,000 in cash. No additional fees are payable for attendance at Board of Directors meetings. For service as a standing committee chairman, Directors are paid $5,000 annually, with the exception of the chairman of the Audit Committee, who receives $10,000 annually, the chairman of the Executive Committee, who receives $40,000 annually and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, who receives $50,000 annually. All annual fees are payable in quarterly basis.

Prior to the beginning of each calendar year, each Director may elect to receive all or any portion of his or her Director fees, including those received for chairing any committee, in the form of common stock with a market value at the time of such quarterly installment equal to 150% of the amount of such fees otherwise payable in cash.

Additional Arrangements

The Company pays for or provides (or reimburses Directors for out-of-pocket costs incurred for) transportation, hotel, food and other incidental expenses related to attending Board of Directors, committee or Company meetings or participating in Director education programs and other Director orientation or educational meetings.

2018 Director Compensation

The following table provides information concerning the compensation of the Company’s Directors for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. There were no stock options outstanding for any Director, relating to director services, as of September 30, 2018.

Equity Compensation Arrangements

The 2015 Plan was approved by stockholders in February 2015. The adoption of the 2015 Plan supersedes the 2013 Incentive Equity Plan, which had been in place since April 2013.

The following table illustrates the common shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan:

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Director Independence

As of November 19, 2018, we no longer qualify as a “Controlled Company” under Nasdaq listing rules. Although we currently comply with certain of the Nasdaq listing rules applicable to companies that are not Controlled Companies, there are certain exemptions for Controlled Companies that we no longer benefit from, including that the Nasdaq listing rules require that each of the Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees be composed of at least a majority of Independent Directors within 90 days of the date on which we no longer qualified as a “Controlled Company” and that each such committee be composed entirely of independent directors within one year of such date. During these transition periods, we will continue to qualify for and may continue to utilize the available exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements as permitted by the Nasdaq listing rules. As indicated above, our Compensation Committee is already composed entirely of independent Directors. By February 17, 2019, we intend to adjust the composition of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to be composed of at least a majority of independent Directors and by November 19, 2019, we intend to adjust the composition to be composed of all independent Directors.

To be considered independent under Nasdaq rules, a Director may not be employed by Alico or engage in certain types of business dealings with Alico. In addition, as required by Nasdaq rules, the Board of Directors is required to make an affirmative determination that the Director has no relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities as a Director.

The Board of Directors has determined that there are no material relationships between the Company and each of Messrs. Eisner, Krusen and Sambuco. Accordingly, Messrs. Eisner, Krusen and Sambuco qualify as, and are determined to be, independent in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

It is the policy of the Board of Directors to have separate meetings for Independent Directors at least twice a year and at other times as requested by an Independent Director. Each meeting shall be led by a chairman chosen pro tem by the Independent Directors. The Company met this requirement during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.

Related Person Transaction Policy

Alico may engage in a transaction or series of transactions with our directors, executive officers and certain persons related to them. All such transactions are subject to approval or ratification in accordance with a written related person transaction policy adopted by the Board of Directors. This policy defines a “related person” as: (1) any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of Alico’s last fiscal year was, a director or executive officer of Alico or a nominee to become a Director of Alico; (2) any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of Alico’s voting securities; (3) any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, and any person (other than domestic employees or tenant) sharing the household of such person; and (4) any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest. This policy defines a “related person transaction” as a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) that occurred since the beginning of Alico’s most recent fiscal year in which (1) Alico was, is or will be a participant, (2) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year; and (3) any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Under Alico’s policy, all related person transactions are to be approved by the Audit Committee or an ad hoc subcommittee comprised of independent directors (including at least one audit committee financial expert) in certain circumstances. In reviewing related person transactions, the Audit Committee or ad hoc subcommittee will consider all relevant material facts and circumstances available to it, including the benefits of the transaction to Alico, the nature and extent of the related person interest, the impact on any interested Director’s independence and judgment to act in the best interests of Alico and whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than those generally available to an unaffiliated third party under similar circumstances. The following transactions were pre-approved under this policy, subject to certain limitations: (1) employment of executive officers if compensation is required to be reported in Alico’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Alico’s proxy statement or if the officer is not an immediate family member of a related person and the compensation was approved or recommended for approval by the Compensation Committee; (2) Director compensation or reimbursement and reimbursement of expenses in connection with such service if consistent with a Board of Directors-approved reimbursement policy; (3) reimbursement of employee expenses if consistent with a Board of Directors-approved reimbursement policy; (4) transactions where the related person’s interest arises solely from owning Alico common stock and all holders of Alico common stock receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis; (5) transactions available to all Alico employees generally; (6) charitable contributions, grants or endowments to an organization where the related person is an employee or director (but not an executive officer) if the aggregate amount does not exceed the lesser of $200,000 or 2% of

the organization’s total annual receipts, expenditure or assets; and (7) transactions previously approved by the Audit Committee prior to the adoption of the policy.

In addition, the policy provides that the Audit Committee or ad hoc subcommittee, as applicable, will not approve or recommend a “subject transaction” (as defined below) during the period ending on the earlier of September 2020 and the date when the “investor group” (as defined below) files an amended Schedule 13D indicating an aggregate voting interest in Alico of less than 40% unless the definitive transaction agreement related to it expressly conditions the closing of the subject transaction on the receipt of the affirmative vote of a majority of shares of Alico common stock voted on the matter that are not held beneficially or of record by the investor group. For this purpose, the “investor group” means (1) any officer, manager or controlled affiliate of 734 Investors, LLC, (2) any officer, manager or member of 734 Agriculture, LLC, or any of their controlled affiliates, or (3) any immediate family members of the foregoing, and a “subject transaction” means a transaction in which a related person that is also a member of the investor group proposes to transfer or dispose of to Alico any business, assets or properties owned or controlled by that related person and involves consideration payable by Alico in excess of $200 million to such related person, or would involve the issuance to such related person of more than 20% of Alico’s outstanding common stock (after giving effect to the stock issuance).

734 Investors and 734 Agriculture

On November 19, 2013, 734 Agriculture and its affiliates, including 734 Investors, acquired all of the approximately 51% of Alico’s common stock then owned by Atlanticblue Group, Inc. (the “Share Purchase”). 734 Investors now beneficially owns approximately 42.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. 734 Agriculture is the managing member of 734 Investors. Pursuant to a stipulated status quo order agreed to by the parties to a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned In re 734 Investors, LLC Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 2018-0844-JTL, 734 Agriculture may not take any actions outside of the ordinary course of business of 734 Investors without the consent of two-thirds of the membership interests of 734 Investors, including exercising any voting rights with respect to any shares beneficially owned by 734 Investors.

Shared Services Agreement

Effective January 1, 2018, Alico and Trafelet Brokaw Capital Management, L.P. (“TBCM”) entered into a shared services agreement under which TBCM provides shared office space at TBCM’s offices in New York, New York and certain related administrative support services to Alico. Messrs. Brokaw and Trafelet, who are Directors and are executive officers of Alico, were the Managing Partners of TBCM. Alico reimburses TBCM for TBCM’s actual costs of providing office space and providing such administrative services (including internal allocations), in consultation with Alico. The initial term of the agreement is for one year and is thereafter automatically renewed for additional 1-year periods unless terminated by Alico. During fiscal year 2018, Alico paid approximately $592,000 to TBCM pursuant to the shared services agreement. On November 19, 2018, the Board of Directors elected not to extend the shared services agreement beyond December 31, 2018.
