Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Compensation Committee. The Board established the Compensation Committee in November, 2017. The Board has appointed Messrs. Jolly and Herlin to the Compensation Committee, each of whom the Board has determined is independent pursuant to the independence tests under the NYSE American Company Guide. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the terms and structure of the compensation of the Company’s executive officers.
The Company considers various factors when evaluating and determining the compensation terms and structure of its executive officers, including the following:
1. The executive's leadership and operational performance and potential to enhance long-term value to the Company's stockholders;
2. The Company's financial resources, results of operations, and financial projections;
3. Performance compared to the financial, operational, and strategic goals established for the Company;
4. The nature, scope, and level of the executive's responsibilities;
5. Competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions, experience, and performance levels; and
6. The executive's current salary, the appropriate balance between incentives for long-term and short-term performance.
Company management is responsible for reviewing the base salary, annual bonus and long-term compensation levels for other Company employees, and the Company expects this practice to continue going forward. The entire Board remains responsible for significant changes to, or adoption, of new employee benefit plans.
The Company believes that the compensation environment for qualified professionals in the industry in which we operate is competitive. In order to compete in this environment, the compensation of our executive officers is primarily comprised of the following four components:
■ Base salary;
■ Annual short-term incentive plan compensation (cash bonus awards);
■ Long-term incentive compensation (equity awards); and
■ Other employment benefits.
Base Salary
Base salary, paid in cash, is the first element of compensation to our officers. In determining base salaries for our key executive officers, the Company aims to set base salaries at a level we believe enables us to hire and retain individuals in a competitive environment and to reward individual performance and contribution to our overall business goals. The Board believes that base salary should be relatively stable over time, providing the executive a dependable, minimum level of compensation, which is approximately equivalent to compensation that may be paid by competitors for persons of similar abilities. The Board believes that base salaries for our executive officers are appropriate for persons serving as executive officers of public companies similar in size and complexity similar to the Company.
The Company’s named executive officers have received base salaries in accordance with the terms of their respective employment agreements (which are described below).
Cash Bonuses
Historically, discretionary cash bonuses were another element of our compensation plan. These discretionary cash bonuses provided executive officers and other employees with the potential to receive a portion of their annual cash compensation as a cash bonus in order to encourage performance to achieve key corporate objectives and to be competitive from a total remuneration standpoint. We did not establish a set formula for determining or awarding discretionary cash bonuses to our other executives or employees. In determining whether to award bonuses and the amount of any bonuses, we have taken and expect to continue to take into consideration discretionary factors such as the individual’s current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities, retention considerations, and the total compensation package, as well as the Company’s overall performance including cash flow and other operational factors.
In 2018, we adopted the 2018 Short Term Incentive Plan (“2018 STIP”) in order to motivate and reward our named executive officers for meeting or exceeding corporate performance goals. Under the 2018 STIP, the Compensation Committee set target opportunities of 100% of base salary for our CEO, and 70% of base salary for our CFO and COO. The Compensation Committee also determined that 60% of the total cash incentive bonus for each named executive officer should be based on the Company’s attainment of a threshold ratio of EBITDA to debt, 20% should be based on the Company’s achievement of certain safety goals, and 20% should be discretionary at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in each case subject to the Compensation Committee’s further adjustment in order to realign with corporate goals.
In reviewing the performance of the Company for 2020, the Compensation Committee determined that cash bonus awards would not be paid out for 2020. This determination was based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of corporate objectives during 2020.
Equity-Based Compensation
Each of the Company’s executive officers are eligible to be granted awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans. The Company believes that equity-based compensation helps align management and executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. Our equity incentives are also intended to reward the attainment of long-term corporate objectives by our executives. We also believe that grants of equity-based compensation are necessary to enable us to be competitive from a total remuneration standpoint. At the present time, we have one active equity incentive plan for our management and employees, the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"), and one dormant equity incentive plan for our management and employees, the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"), pursuant to which there are still outstanding awards.
Historically, in determining whether to grant awards and the amount of any awards, the Company took into consideration discretionary factors such as the individual’s current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities, retention considerations, and the total compensation package. In 2018, the Company adopted the Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), which is intended to balance the short-term orientation of other compensation elements, further align management and shareholder interests, focus named executive officers on achievement of long-term results, and retain executive talent. The Company’s named executive officers and senior managers have been eligible to receive awards under the LTIP. All awards granted under the LTIP have been made pursuant to the 2016 Plan. Awards granted during 2019 under the LTIP contain the following terms: (i) 60% shall vest upon the Common Stock achieving a 90-day moving average price of at least $27.75 per share and (ii) 40% shall vest upon the Company achieving a ratio of trailing twelve-month debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.50 to 1.0. No awards were granted during 2020 under the LTIP.
The Company has granted to named executive officers as described below under the captions “Employment Agreements” and “Grants and Forfeitures of Equity Awards,” and as reflected in the table entitled “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End.”
Grants and Forfeitures of Equity Awards
The Compensation Committee granted restricted stock awards to Mr. Dickinson and Ms. Hargrave in fiscal year 2019 under the 2016 Plan.
Mr. Dickinson: On June 14, 2018 and June 19, 2019, the Company’s Compensation Committee granted Mr. Dickinson 15,000 and 38,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively. In connection with Mr. Dickinson’s severance agreement dated May 29, 2020, Mr. Dickinson was granted 6,667 shares of unrestricted stock and the 53,000 shares of restricted stock previously granted to him were converted to unrestricted. Both were granted at $0.15 totaling $119,250 of compensation.
In conjunction with her employment agreement, on July 23, 2019 Ms. Hargrave was granted 22,000 shares of restricted stock.
Other Compensation/Benefits
Another element of the overall compensation is through providing our executive officers various employment benefits, such as the payment of health and life insurance premiums on behalf of the executive officers. Our executive officers are also eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan on the same basis as other employees and the Company historically has made matching contributions to the 401(k) plan, including for the benefit of our executive officers. In April, 2020, the Company ceased all matching to all employees including officers of its 401k plan.
Discretionary Bonuses
As indicated above, during 2019, the Board did not award any discretionary bonuses to the named executive officers. No 2020 discretionary bonuses have been awarded to the named executive officers.
