Approval of Base Salaries
On November 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors of the Company approved increased base salaries for certain named executive officers of the Company (for
whom disclosure was required in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for its 2012 annual meeting of stockholders)
as follows: $927,000 for Robert A. Cascella, President and Chief Executive Officer; $600,000 for Glenn P. Muir, Executive Vice
President, Finance and Administration, and Chief Financial Officer; $400,000 for Peter K. Soltani, Senior Vice President and General
Manager, Breast Health; and $400,000 for David P. Harding, Senior Vice President and General Manager, International. These new
base salaries were made effective as of October 1, 2012.
Adoption of 2013 Short-Term Incentive
Plan
On November 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee
approved the Company's 2013 Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "STIP"). The STIP provides performance-based awards
for eligible employees, subject to a maximum limit, as described in more detail below. Targeted payout levels will be achieved
at a combination of corporate, divisional and/or individual goals established for each participant. An individual's bonus
components and the weighting of those components are determined by such individual's title and/or role.
The maximum bonus payouts will be
200% of targeted payout levels (e.g., an individual with a targeted payout level of 50% of annual base salary target would
be eligible for a 100% payout). Upon adoption of the STIP, the Compensation Committee also approved separate bonus
pools totalling $4.5 million for fiscal 2013 to be adjusted and
allocated at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to decrease any bonus payouts to any participant under the STIP regardless of the level of corporate, divisional
and/or individual goals that have been achieved.
Targeted payout levels for each of the named
executive officers under the STIP as measured by a percentage of base salary are as follows: Mr. Cascella, 120%; Mr. Muir, 85%;
and Senior Vice Presidents, 50%.
The above description of the STIP does not
purport to be complete and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the STIP, a copy of which is attached to this report
as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Adoption of 2013 Synergy Bonus Plan
On November 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee
approved the Company's 2013 Synergy Bonus Plan (the "Synergy Plan"). The Synergy Plan provides performance-based
awards for eligible employees, subject to a maximum limit, as described in more detail below. Targeted payout levels will be based
upon the achievement of cost synergy goals established by the Compensation Committee.
The maximum bonus payouts will be 170% of
targeted payout levels (e.g., an individual with a targeted payout level of 50% of annual base salary target would be eligible
for an 85% payout). The Compensation Committee reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to decrease any bonus payouts to any
participant under the Synergy Plan regardless of the level of cost synergy goals that have been achieved.
Targeted payout levels for
named executive officers under the Synergy Plan are as follows: Mark J. Casey, Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative
Officer, General Counsel and Secretary, $200,000; and Mr. Harding, $125,000. Messrs. Cascella and Muir are not eligible to
receive awards under the Synergy Plan.
The above description of the Synergy Plan
does not purport to be complete and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Synergy Plan, a copy of which is attached
to this report as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Form of Market Stock Unit Award Agreement
On November 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee
approved a form of market stock unit ("MSU") award agreement. Under the MSU award agreement, the number of MSU's
that will vest for each MSU granted will be determined at the time of vesting based upon the market price of the Company's
common stock at that time. A copy of this form is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein in its entirety
by reference.
