ITEM 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On March 12, 2010, the compensation committee of our board of directors made its annual compensation determinations for 2010 and established a bonus plan for our executive officers for 2010. The compensation decisions made with respect to our executive officers who were named executive officers in our most recent proxy statement were as follows:
For 2010, the base salary of our Chief Executive Officer will remain at his 2009 annual rate. Effective, January 1, 2010, the base salary of our Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Business Development will be increased to $180,000 and the base salary of our Chief Financial Officer will be increased to $175,000.
Annual cash bonuses, if any, for 2010 will be awarded in an amount determined by our compensation committee in early 2011, based upon the committees judgment as to the extent to which stated company and individual performance goals have been met. The compensation committee retains discretion over the bonus plan and has the right to terminate it at any time. The material terms of the 2010 executive officer bonus plan are as follows:
| The target bonus for our Chief Executive Officer is $200,000. The amount of this target bonus that is ultimately earned will be based upon attainment, in the compensation committees judgment, of goals relating to our cash flow, achievement of sales goals and individual management objectives. |
| The target bonus for our Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Business Development is $125,000. The amount of this target bonus that is ultimately earned will be based upon attainment, in the compensation committees judgment, of goals relating to our revenue and achievement of sales goals. |
| The target bonus for our Chief Financial Officer is $90,000. The amount of this target bonus that is ultimately earned will be based upon attainment, in the compensation committees judgment, of goals relating to our cash flow, maintenance of effective control over our financial reporting and individual management objectives. |
In addition to the above, the compensation committee awarded our Chief Financial Officer an incentive stock option to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.42, exercisable in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant.
