2019 Base Salary for Named Executive Officers

 

The Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cactus, Inc. (the “Company”), after discussions with a compensation consultant, approved base salaries for 2019 for certain of the Company’s executive officers, including the Company’s named executive officers, effective as of February 17, 2019.  The approved 2019 base salary amounts for each of the named executive officers are set forth in the table below:

2019 Management Incentive Plan

 

On February 15, 2018, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved a performance-based bonus plan for 2019, the 2019 Management Incentive Plan (the “2019 MIP”), pursuant to which all eligible Company employees, including named executive officers, will be eligible to receive a cash bonus upon the achievement of certain financial performance and safety metrics. The weighting of each financial performance and safety metric may differ for each participant depending on the group and branch to which they are assigned.

 

Under the 2019 MIP, executive officers, including named executive officers, will be eligible to receive base cash bonus payments equal to a certain specified percentage of their annual base salaries (the “Base Bonus”) if the Company meets the specified performance targets.  The approved 2019 Base Bonus for each of the Company’s named executive officers is set forth in the table below as a percentage of such executive’s 2019 base salary:

 

Name:

 

2019 Base Bonus:

 

Scott Bender—President and Chief Executive Officer

 

100

%

Joel Bender—Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

 

100

%

Steven Bender—Vice President of Operations

 

75

%

 

In addition to the Base Bonus, if the Company meets certain more stringent performance standards (the “Stretch Bonus Targets”), executive officers, including named executive officers, will be eligible to receive an additional bonus (the “Stretch Bonus”) of up to 40% of the executive’s Base Bonus payment.

 

Other than in the case of an employee’s injury, death or ill health (as determined by the Board) or in the case of a change of control of the Company, an employee must remain employed by the Company at the time of any payout in order to be eligible to receive such payout. Any payments under the 2019 MIP will be made in the sole discretion of the Board after considering the Company’s cash needs. However, the Company’s executive officers will not be eligible to receive any bonus payments related to their service during any fiscal year until the Company’s audited financial statements for such fiscal year have been finalized.

 

Amendment to Employment Agreements with Scott Bender and Joel Bender

 

On February 21, 2019 the Company entered into amendments (the “Employment Agreement Amendments”) to the employment agreements dated as of February 12, 2018 (the “Initial Employment Agreements”) with Scott Bender, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Joel Bender, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.  Under the Employment Agreement Amendments, Scott Bender and Joel Bender will each be eligible to receive the Stretch Bonus if the Company satisfies the Stretch Bonus Targets.  All other terms and conditions set forth in the Initial Employment Agreements remain in full force and effect.
