Establishment of 2008 Incentive Plan

 

On February 18 2008, the Compensation Committee approved and on February 19, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified the establishment of the Company’s cash incentive compensation program for 2008 (the “2008 Incentive Plan”) for the Company’s current executive officers. The current executive officers are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Bernard P. Aldrich; the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Robert M. Wolf; the Company’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Manual M. Almeida; and the Company’s Vice President Planning and Organization Development, Pamela V. Lampert. While David J. Suden was a executive officer in fiscal year 2007, and a Named Executive Officer with respect to that year, he ceased serving in that capacity as of December 31, 2007 and is not eligible to participate in the 2008 Incentive Plan.

 

Under the 2008 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee determined minimum, target and maximum goals relating to sales and operating income in the form of a matrix comprised of incrementally increasing percentages of sales growth over the prior fiscal year and incrementally increasing percentages of operating income as a percentage of sales. No bonus amounts will be earned by any executive officer in the event the minimum goals are not achieved and no amounts will be paid out under the 2008 Incentive Plan unless the minimum sales goal is met. The Compensation Committee also approved the cash bonuses that executive officers may earn under the 2008 Incentive Plan based upon percentages of their respective salaries. The following table shows the bonus amounts as a percentage of salary that will be earned by the executive officers under the 2008 Incentive Plan upon the Company’s achievement of the minimum, target and maximum goals relating to sales and operating income.
