Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 21, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant established the 2006 Executive Bonus Program, which sets forth performance goals and targets for bonuses for Named Executive Officers in 2006. Compensation guidelines that the Compensation Committee has determined will impact bonuses for Named Executive Officers during 2006 include the following:
Total compensation should be reflective of the compensation practices in a specifically identified peer group of companies.
A meaningful portion of executive compensation should be at-risk by tying it to a measure of the Registrants performance, both short- and long-term.
There should be a strong correlation between executive compensation, individual performance, Registrant business objectives and the Registrants overall performance.
Payments of bonuses under the 2006 Executive Bonus Program are to be made annually.
The performance goals and weight factors applicable to the Named Executive Officers under the 2006 Executive Bonus Program are as follows:
Achievement of Earnings Before Tax from Continuing Operations goal, 70 percent
Achievement of Net Capital Utilized as a Percent of Sales goal, 30 percent
