Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On May 26, 2011, the shareholders of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), approved the Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. Annual Cash Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”), which replaced the Company’s annual cash bonus plan that had expired.
The Bonus Plan provides for granting of cash bonuses upon achievement of specified performance goals, referred to as “Management Objectives,” to “Eligible Executives,” who are defined as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and any other executive officer of the Company designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). Management Objectives may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the individual Eligible Executive or of the subsidiary, division, department or function within the Company or subsidiary in which the Eligible Executive is employed. Management Objectives may be measured on a relative or absolute basis. The Management Objectives are limited to specified levels of, growth in or relative peer company performance in one or more or a combination of the following: earnings per share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before taxes; return on invested capital; return on total capital; return on assets; return on equity; total shareholder return; net income, revenue, cash flow or operating profit; and productivity improvement. Not later than the 90th day of each fiscal year of the Company, the Committee shall establish the Management Objectives for each Eligible Executive and the amount of incentive bonus payable (or formula for determining such amount) upon full achievement of the specified Management Objectives.
Incentive bonus payments made under the Bonus Plan are intended to constitute qualified “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.162-27 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and in no event shall the incentive bonus paid to an Eligible Executive under the Bonus Plan for a year exceed $3.0 million.
The Committee has established the Management Objectives under the Bonus Plan for all future awards made to Edward F. Crawford pursuant to the Bonus Plan. Mr. Crawford is the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and is currently the only Eligible Executive. Mr. Crawford will be entitled to an annual award equal to 4% of the Company’s annual consolidated adjusted income before taxes.
The description contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bonus Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
