Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On March 3, 2014, the Registrant announced the election by its Board of Directors of Robert Harrer as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. The Registrant made the announcement in a press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The second and third paragraphs of the text of that release are incorporated herein by reference.
The Registrant expects to enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Harrer substantially consistent with, and in form similar to, those currently in use for its other senior executive officers in the U.S. as described in the Registrant's proxy materials for its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The principal terms of Mr. Harrer's employment expected to be embodied in the agreement are for (i) an initial starting base salary of $350,000, (ii) initial participation in the Company's short term incentive plan at a target level equal to 55% of base salary, (iii) initial participation in the Company's long term incentive program (currently, the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan) at a target level of 80% of base salary, and (iv) participation in the Company's pension and welfare benefits plans consistent with his senior executive position.  Mr. Harrer's employment agreement is also expected to contain termination severance arrangements consistent with those for similarly situated executives (expanded under circumstances involving a change of control of the Registrant, but without tax gross ups, pursuant to the Registrant's policy in that regard
since 2010) with such benefits pro rated until completion by Mr. Harrer of a minimum period of service.
Effective upon Mr. Harrer's election, Mark Feuerbach, who had served in the interim since July 2013 as the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer, continues in his positions as Vice President, Investor Relations, Treasury, Financial Planning & Analysis.
Item 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
Effective March 3, 2014, the Registrant's Board of Directors, which also serves as the board of its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc. and Innophos, Inc., adopted an amendment to the Bylaws of those companies authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to designate certain persons serving supervisory or managerial functions with the titles of vice president, assistant vice president or other titles considered appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer.  The designated persons are to serve at the pleasure of the Chief Executive Officer and have such duties and responsibilities as established by the Chief Executive Officer, but are not to be considered officers of the corporations, nor have titles, duties or responsibilities in derogation of board-elected officers. The Bylaw amendment was adopted to facilitate management flexibility in the organization of corporate personnel.
The foregoing description of the Bylaw amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
