Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Director | Compensation Policy |
On July 21, 2005, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Bio-logic Systems Corporation (the “Company”) approved a compensation policy (the “Policy”) for directors who are not employees of the Company (the “Eligible Directors”). Pursuant to the Policy, the Company will make a one-time, initial grant of 3,333 fully vested shares of Company stock to each new Eligible Director upon joining the Board and will make subsequent grants of restricted shares and pay cash compensation to Eligible Directors for Board and Board committee service as described below.
Compensation for Meetings of the Board
The Policy provides that each Eligible Director is to receive an annual retainer of $12,000 payable quarterly, and $1,000 for each regularly-scheduled Board meeting attended in person ($700 in the case of special and telephonic meetings). In addition, each Eligible Director will receive an annual grant of 1,250 restricted shares of Company stock that fully vests on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
Compensation for Meetings of Committees of the Board
Each Eligible Director will receive $700 per meeting of a committee of the Board requiring such director’s attendance in person and $500 in the case of a telephonic meeting. However, Eligible Directors will not receive any additional compensation for attendance at a committee meeting that is held on the same day as a meeting of the Board. In addition, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board will receive an additional $1,500 annual retainer, payable quarterly. Each Eligible Director who serves on one or more committees of the Board will also receive an annual grant of 1,250 restricted shares of Company stock (regardless of the number of committees on which the Eligible Director may serve) that fully vests on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances.
Restricted Stock Grants to Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer
On July 21, 2005, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved awards of 22,500 shares of restricted stock to Gabriel Raviv, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and 15,000 shares of restricted stock to Roderick G. Johnson, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The shares of restricted stock granted to each of Messrs. Raviv and Johnson will vest in four equal annual installments commencing on July 21, 2006, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances. On July 21, 2005, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, also approved a form of Restricted Stock Agreement for the issuance of restricted stock under the Incentive Plan. The form of Restricted Stock Agreement under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan that was approved by the Board is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and made a part hereof.
The description contained above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Policy and form of Restricted Stock Agreement attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and made a part hereof.
