Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 29, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a form of Executive Severance Agreement to be entered into with the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and all other executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which severance compensation would be provided in the context of termination of employment outside a change in control scenario. Severance terms include, among others, continuation of base salary for 18 months (24 months for the CEO), a pro rata share of any bonus payment that otherwise would be earned from a then-current Management Incentive Plan, continuation of health coverage, and outplacement services (up to $20,000), if the executive is terminated without cause or for “good reason”. If a change of control takes place, the terms of the Company’s existing change of control agreements will control. A copy of the form of Executive Severance Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Concurrently with the execution of an Executive Severance Agreement by Anthony J. Conway and Philip J. Conway, each of their prior Employment Agreements dated August 31, 1990 will be canceled and replaced with the new Executive Severance Agreement.
On January 31, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a grant of restricted stock units to each of the Company’s executive officers, pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. Such units will vest at the end of fiscal year 2014, based upon the achievement of the Company’s corporate goals for fiscal 2014 operating income, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
