Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
It
is
expected that Mr. Hemings may be named to the Audit Committee and/or
Compensation Committee of the Board in connection with the Company’s application
to list on the American Stock Exchange in the near future, but no assurances
can
be given in this regard.
Under
the
Company’s new policy for the compensation of its non-employee directors, which
was adopted effective as of April 25, 2008, Mr. Hemings will receive a one-time
restricted stock award valued at $40,000 in connection with his election to
the
Board. The at-election award will be granted during the May 17th
- May
30th
window
following the filing of the Company’s
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its first fiscal quarter and will
consist of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (“Class
A Common Stock”)
having
a $40,000 fair market value as of the close of trading on the grant date. Such
at-election award will vest ratably over a period of four years, subject to
Mr.
Hemings’ continued service on the Board.
As
a
non-employee member of the Board, Mr. Hemings will furthermore be entitled
to
ongoing compensation on an annual basis, consisting of $30,000 cash and a
restricted stock award valued at $30,000. The annual restricted stock award
will
be
granted during the May 17th
- May
30th
window
following the filing of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its
first fiscal quarter and will consist of shares of Class A Common Stock having
a
grant-date fair market value of $30,000 (based on the closing market price
of
the Class A Common Stock as of such grant date), vesting entirely on the first
anniversary of the grant date.
Because
Mr. Hemings joined the Board immediately prior to the granting of the current
year’s annual restricted stock award to the Board, he will not be entitled to
such award. His first such annual restricted stock award will be granted to
him
in 2009.
In
addition to the basic compensation for Mr.
Hemings
as a
non-employee director, he will also receive a $1,000 cash meeting attendance
fee
for each meeting of the Board or a committee thereof that he attends (whether
attending in person or telephonically). As a non-employee member of the Board,
he is also entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the performance of services on the Company’s behalf,
including travel expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board or
committees thereof. Fees and expenses are reimbursed upon submission of
appropriate documentation to the Company in accordance with its then-current
policy.
The
press
release issued by the Company on May 2, 2008 announcing the election of Mr.
Hemings, providing biographical information with respect thereto, and announcing
Mr. Dickinson’s decision to decline election to the Board, is
annexed as Exhibit 99.1
to this
Form 8-K.
