Item 5.02
Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.
Modification of 2019 Performance-Based Cash Compensation Plan for Certain Executive Officers
On February 12, 2019, the Compensation Committee (the "
Compensation Committee
") of the Board of Directors (the "
Board
") of Marin Software Incorporated (the "
Company
") approved a performance-based cash bonus plan for 2019 (the "
2019
Bonus Plan
"), pursuant to which the Compensation Committee set target cash bonus amounts for certain Company personnel, including the Company's named executive officers. For all participants in the 2019 Bonus Plan, the Board established a sliding scale of payout percentages based on the Company's revenue, which constitutes 75% of bonus weighting, and ending cash balance as of December 31, 2019, which constitutes 25% of bonus weighting. Payouts would range from 0% to 100%.
On June 17, 2019, the Board approved a modification to the 2019 Bonus Plan (the "
Modified Plan
") that will apply to certain 2019 Bonus Plan participants, including Bradley Kinnish and Wister Walcott, but which modification excludes Christopher Lien, the Company's Chief Executive Officer (such included personnel, the "
Included Personnel
"). To enhance employee retention, the Board approved the Modified Plan whereby the minimum payout percentage will be 75% of each Included Personnel's target annual bonus amount, regardless of the Company's revenue and ending cash balance as of December 31, 2019. Mr. Kinnish and Mr. Walcott each have a target cash bonus amount equal to 50% of their respective base salaries.
Mr. Lien's eligibility for a cash bonus will continue to be determined in accordance with the 2019 Bonus Plan, in its unmodified form.
