On July 29, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors appointed Malcolm F. Moore to serve as the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective August 1, 2016. Mr. Moore had previously been serving as the Company's Executive Vice President, Operations, since July 1, 2015. Prior to that date, Mr. Moore had served on the Company's Board of Directors since October 2006.
Mr. Moore's annual base salary as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer will be $375,000. Mr. Moore also receives a housing benefit of $25,000 per year. Mr. Moore's target incentive bonus under the FY 2017 Corporate Incentive Plan ("CIP") will be 50% of his base salary. The CIP establishes the target bonus for Mr. Moore based on the following factors and relative weights for each factor: (i) EBITDA (40%); trade working capital as a percentage of sales (20%); sales growth (20%); and strategic objectives (individual achievement) (20%). In no event will an incentive payment under the CIP exceed 200% of the target. An incentive payment to a named executive officer under the CIP may be increased or decreased by up to 20%, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Moore is also the recipient of a target number of 11,164 performance shares granted on July 31, 2015; a target number of 19,386 performance shares granted on July 28, 2016; 11,164 shares of restricted stock granted on July 31, 2015; and 19,386 shares of restricted stock granted on July 28, 2016. The terms of these awards are identical in all material respects to the awards of performance shares and restricted stock granted to the Company's named executive officers on the above dates. The forms of agreements under which these awards were made are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Moore is also a party to a Change in Control Severance Agreement with the Company, as well as an Indemnity Agreement with the Company. The forms of these agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Moore, age 65, was appointed Executive Vice President, Operations, on July 1, 2015. From June 2013 through June 2015, Mr. Moore served as President and CEO of Digi-Star, LLC, a global supplier of electronic components and software used in precision agriculture based in Fort Atkins, Wisconsin. Mr. Moore also served as Chairman of Digi-Star, LLC, from November 2011 through June 2013. From 1999 to 2010, Mr. Moore held various positions, including Executive Vice President and COO, President and COO, and President and CEO of Gehl Company, a manufacturer and distributor of compact equipment for construction and agricultural markets based in West Bend, Wisconsin.
Since 2010, Mr. Moore has also served as President and CEO of Naples, Florida-based Port Royal Partners, LLC, an enterprise focusing on investments in the marine industry. Mr. Moore also serves on the Board of Directors of Ag Growth International and Freightcar America, Inc.
Mr. Moore received an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and a BSBA from American University, with a major in International Business.
There are no family relationships, as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, between Mr. Moore and any of the Company's executive officers or directors, or any person nominated to become a director or executive officer. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Moore and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Moore was appointed as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. There are no transactions in which Mr. Moore has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
