Item 8.01
Other Events
The Board of Directors, (the "Board"), of Covenant Transportation Group, Inc. (the "Company, "we," "us," and "our"), announced adoption of the following policies, consistent with the Board's focus on sound corporate governance principles:
·
Majority vote
·
Overboarding
·
Stock ownership
·
Anti-hedging and anti-pledging
·
Lead independent director
Pursuant to the majority vote policy, in the event that a director does not receive support from holders of a majority of shares voted in an uncontested election of directors, they must tender their resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee will promptly consider the tendered resignation and will recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation or take some other action.
Pursuant to the overboarding policy, our Chief Executive Officer is prohibited from serving on more than three public company boards, including the Board, and our other board members are prohibited from serving on more than five public company boards, including the Board.
Pursuant to the stock ownership policy, each of our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer are required to build certain stock ownership over time (10 times base annual salary for our Chief Executive Officer and 1 times base annual salary for each of our President and our Chief Financial Officer). These requirements are currently met by each of our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer. The stock ownership guidelines set forth the Board's expectation that the specified executive officers will continuously own Company stock with a value equal to a specified multiple of annual base salary. The Company previously had stock ownership guidelines for directors in place ($100,000 currently representing 4 times annual cash compensation).
Pursuant to the anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer are prohibited from hedging our Class A and Class B common stock (including, but not limited to, short-selling, options, puts and calls, as well as derivatives such as swaps, forwards, and futures), pledging our stock as collateral for a loan, or purchasing our stock on margin.
Pursuant to the Board's appointment of a lead independent director ("LID"), the LID was designated to (i) preside at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors, (ii) serve as liaison between the Chairman of the Board and the independent directors, (iii) provide input on meeting agendas for the Board, (iv) approve Board meeting schedules to assure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items, (v) have the authority to call meetings of the independent directors, and (vi) if requested by major stockholders, ensure that he or she is available for consultation and direct communication.
