Changes in Executive Compensation
In connection with performance and reductions in force at Golden Minerals Company's (the Company") Velardena Operations, the Company's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved a 10% annual salary reduction effective June 1, 2013 for certain officers of the Company.  The reductions for the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and named executive officers are as follows: $50,000 to an annual salary of $450,000 for Jeffrey Clevenger, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer;  $27,000 to an annual salary of $243,000 for Robert Vogels, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; $25,000 to an annual salary of $225,000 for Warren Rehn, Senior Vice President, Exploration and Chief Geologist; and $17,500 for annual half time compensation of $157,500 for Deborah Friedman, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.   In conjunction with this salary reduction, expected to be in effect for one year, the Compensation Committee also approved a grant of restricted shares effective June 1, 2013, vesting June 1, 2014, for these officers in the following amounts:  44,500 shares for Mr. Clevenger; 24,000 shares for Mr. Vogels, 22,000 shares for Mr. Rehn, and 15,500 shares for Ms. Friedman.  The fair value of these shares on the grant date for each officer is expected to total approximately 10% to 15% of the officer's annual salary prior to the salary reduction.
Also effective June 1, 2013, the Company plans to enter into amendments to its Change of Control Agreements, including the Change of Control Agreements with Mr. Clevenger, Mr. Vogels, Mr. Rehn and Ms. Friedman.  The amendments (i) provide that the termination benefit payable under the agreements will be calculated based on the executive's highest annual salary during the term of the Agreement, rather than on the executive's annual salary at the time of calculation, and (ii) clarify that the Change of Control Agreements will remain in effect and apply in the event of a future Change of Control, as defined in the Agreements.  The Change of Control Agreements and the benefits provided pursuant to those Agreements otherwise remain unchanged.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the Change of Control Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
