On October 11, 2019, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Sean Goodman as the Company’s Executive Vice President – Finance and planned transition to the position of Chief Financial Officer next year. On the same day, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding Mr. Goodman’s appointment. This Current Report Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed to provide additional detail on Mr. Goodman’s compensation.
On October 24, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved Mr. Goodman’s compensation package that includes an annual base salary of $675,000, a relocation stipend of $175,000, and a 2019 bonus of $550,000.
On his first date of employment and to compensate him for equity awards forfeited upon departure from his previous employer, Mr. Goodman will be awarded 200,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) with one-half vesting on the first anniversary of his employment and the remaining one-half vesting ratably over a three year period. Mr. Goodman will also be awarded 300,000 Performance Stock Units (“PSU”) pursuant to the EIP that will vest based upon achieving target prices for the Company’s common stock. Achievement of the target prices will be determined using the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock over a 20 trading day period. Any unvested PSUs remaining after 10 years will be forfeited. The target prices and vesting tranches are set forth in the table below:
Target Price | PSUs Vesting |
$15.00 | 75,000 |
$20.00 | 75,000 |
$25.00 | 75,000 |
$30.00 | 75,000 |
Beginning in 2020, Mr. Goodman’s annual target bonus will be 70% of his base salary and will be awarded upon the achievement of specific goals and objectives to be established by the Compensation Committee and subject to the provisions of the Company’s annual incentive compensation program. In 2020, Mr. Goodman will also be awarded RSU and PSU grants, valued at $1,200,000 pursuant to the Company’s long-term incentive plan and the EIP.
The compensation outlined above and other terms of Mr. Goodman’s employment will be included in an employment agreement to be executed on or before commencement of his employment. The employment agreement will also contain the Company’s standard severance arrangements and restrictive covenants for executive officers. The Company will file the employment agreement with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2019 fiscal year.
