Item 1.01Entry into a Material Agreement
On February 11, 2014, Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Joseph Tomarchio, Jr. The Agreement becomes effective April 1, 2014. At that time, the Agreement will supersede and replace the Company’s existing employment contract with Mr. Tomarchio, which is set to expire in December 2014. As planned, the Agreement extends Mr. Tomarchio’s employment as an Executive Vice President of the Company through June 2017 at a reduced schedule. Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Tomarchio will render exclusive services to the Company. Specifically, he will continue to lead the Company’s growing tire purchasing programs and related vendor relationships. In addition, he will continue to assist on sourcing acquisitions, provide input on advertising and marketing and contribute at field meetings.
Under his Agreement, Mr. Tomarchio (i) will be paid a base salary of $242,500; (ii) will be eligible to earn a target annual bonus, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s bonus plan, of up to 87.5% of his base salary upon the achievement of certain predetermined corporate objectives, which is consistent with both other Company executives and Mr. Tomarchio’s current employment agreement; and (iii) will participate in the Company’s other incentive and welfare and benefit plans made available to executives. In addition, under the Agreement, Mr. Tomarchio is entitled to certain payments upon a termination without Cause (as defined therein), a resignation by Mr. Tomarchio for Good Reason (as defined therein) or a termination in the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined therein), all as set forth in detail in the Agreement.
