The press release related to Mr. Maddock's retirement is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition to the severance and other benefits that Mr. Maddock will receive pursuant to his existing executive agreement, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved that the equity awards granted to Mr. Maddock on October 24, 2017 will be eligible for vesting credit during the one-year severance period under his executive agreement.
  Appointment of David A. Zinsner
  On February 1, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed David A. Zinsner (49) to serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective as of February 19, 2018. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Zinsner and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as an officer. The press release related to Mr. Zinsner joining the Company is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
  Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Zinsner served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Affirmed Networks, a leader in virtualized mobile networks. From 2009 to 2017, Mr. Zinsner served as the Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Analog Devices, a global high-performance analog technology company and from 2005 to 2009 he served as the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Intersil Corporation, a provider of analog solutions.
  Mr. Zinsner will receive an annual base salary of $620,000 and participate in the Company's Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan (the "EIP") with a target payout percentage of 100% of his annual base salary. Mr. Zinsner's payout under the EIP for fiscal 2018 (commencing September 1, 2017) will be prorated based on his period of employment with the Company during fiscal 2018.
  For fiscal 2018, Mr. Zinsner will receive equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $2,250,000 pursuant to the Company's long-term incentive equity program ("Annual Equity"). In addition, Mr. Zinsner will receive a one-time equity inducement award with an approximate grant date fair value of $2,000,000 (the "Inducement Award"). Annual Equity and Inducement Award will vest over four years, with 25% of each award vesting on each of the 1
  st
  , 2
  nd
  , 3
  rd
  and 4
  th
  anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Zinsner's continued employment on each vesting date. Approximately 50% of each award will be made in the form of restricted stock and 50% of each award will be made in the form of nonqualified stock options.
  Mr. Zinsner's compensation includes a severance benefit. Upon Mr. Zinsner's involuntary termination of employment without "cause" or upon Mr. Zinsner's termination of employment within 12 months of a "change in control" that is either an involuntary termination without "cause" or resignation for "good reason" (a "Change in Control Separation"), Mr. Zinsner will receive the following severance benefits:
  •
  a cash amount equal to one times Mr. Zinsner's annual base salary in effect upon the date of termination paid in installments during the one year period following termination (or, in the case of a Change in Control Separation, one and one-half times Mr. Zinsner's annual base salary paid in a lump sum following termination);
  •
  a cash amount equal to the medical benefits and employer qualified plan matching contributions Mr. Zinsner would have received had Mr. Zinsner remained employed for an additional 12 months, paid in installments during the 12-month period following termination (or, in the case of a Change in Control Separation, such benefits as if Mr. Zinsner remained employed for an additional 18 months paid in a lump sum following termination);
  •
  the annual bonus Mr. Zinsner would have received under the EIP for the year of termination, subject to achievement of applicable performance criteria, paid in accordance with the terms of the EIP for the performance period in which the termination occurs (or, in the case of a Change in Control Separation, Mr. Zinsner's target annual bonus for the performance period in which the termination occurs, reduced by any amount previously paid to Mr. Zinsner under the EIP for that same performance period as a result of the change in control); and
  •
  continued vesting and exercisability of any options, restricted stock or other time-based equity, and, subject to achievement of applicable performance criteria, performance-based equity for the one-year period following Mr. Zinsner's termination (or, in the case of a Change in Control Separation, accelerated vesting, and exercisability, of any
  options, restricted stock or other time-based equity, and subject to achievement of applicable performance objectives, performance-based equity).
  Mr. Zinsner's compensation agreement also includes an Internal Revenue Code Section 280G ("Section 280G") "cut-back" provision, which provides that Mr. Zinsner's benefits under the agreement will be reduced so that no Section 280G excise tax will apply, if such reduction will result in a higher net after-tax benefit to Mr. Zinsner; provided that the Company shall provide no tax gross-up under the agreement. Mr. Zinsner's entitlement to the foregoing severance benefits are conditioned on Mr. Zinsner signing a release of claims in favor of the Company and on Mr. Zinsner's compliance with the terms of the Company's non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure agreement.
  Mr. Zinsner's compensation agreement also provides for relocation assistance, including home sales and purchase assistance, incidental expense coverage, temporary housing, vehicle shipment, storage rental, home sale loss protection, and duplicate housing expense coverage. Mr. Zinsner will be subject to the Company's compensation recoupment policies as in effect from time to time.
