In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer and President, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in Mr. Bronson's annual base salary to $445,000 and variable incentive target compensation to $445,000, for a total annual target cash amount of $890,000.  The Compensation Committee also approved a special incentive cash compensation target of $500,000 payable upon attainment of certain performance targets.  In addition, the Compensation Committee approved grants to Mr. Bronson under the 2007 Stock Plan, effective October 2, 2012, of (i) 24,575 non-qualified stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the close of trading on the date of grant, a term of seven years with one-third vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vesting monthly in installments of 1/36 per month, (ii) 10,675 restricted stock units ("RSUs") vesting in equal, annual installments over a period of three years with the first installment vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, (iii) additional performance-based RSUs for a target of 19,000 shares (4,750 shares threshold and 22,165 shares maximum) with the same terms and conditions previously disclosed with respect to the Overlay RSUs in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 10, 2012 and (iv) 241,000 non-qualified stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the close of trading on the date of grant, a term of seven years and vesting in equal, annual installments over a period of three years with the first installment vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant.  The Compensation Committee agreed to grant Mr. Bronson 309,000 additional non-qualified stock options in January 2013 with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the close of trading on the date of grant, a term of seven years and vesting in equal, annual installments over a period of three years with the first installment vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant.  The Compensation Committee also approved a grant to Mr. Bronson, effective October 2, 2012, under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") of performance-based RSUs for a target of 75,000 shares (19,688 shares threshold and 187,500 shares maximum) with the same terms and conditions previously disclosed with respect to LTIP RSUs in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 10, 2012.
In connection with his promotion to be the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, the Compensation Committee also approved an amended and restated executive severance agreement and an amended and restated executive change of control agreement for Mr. Bronson.
Under the amended and restated executive severance agreement, if Mr. Bronson's employment with the Company is terminated other than for cause, death or disability, or if he terminates his employment with the Company for good reason, subject to his signing a release of claims, he will be entitled to (i) a payment of 24 months base pay at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination, (ii) up to 12 months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA, (iii) stock-based incentive compensation plan payout under the LTIP pursuant to the terms of and within the periods specified in the LTIP and stock-based incentive compensation plan payout under each other stock-based incentive compensation plan maintained by the Company pursuant to the terms of and within the periods specified in each such other stock-based incentive compensation plan that may then be applicable, (iv) partial cash-based incentive compensation plan payout, if any, and (v) executive outplacement services.
