Management Incentive Plans (“MIPs”)

 

On January 16, 2020, the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board approved individual MIPs for the calendar year 2020 for Mark Duff, our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”); Ben Naccarato, our EVP and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”); Dr. Louis Centofanti, our EVP of Strategic Initiatives and Andy Lombardo, our EVP of Nuclear and Technical Services. The MIPs are effective January 1, 2020 and applicable for year 2020. Each MIP provides guidelines for the calculation of annual cash incentive-based compensation, subject to Compensation Committee oversight and modification. Each MIP awards cash compensation based on achievement of performance thresholds, with the amount of such compensation established as a percentage of base salary. The potential target performance compensation ranges from 5% to 150% of the 2020 base salary for the CEO ($17,220 to $516,600), 5% to 100% of the 2020 base salary for the CFO ($14,000 to $280,000), 5% to 100% of the 2020 base salary for the EVP of Strategic Initiatives ($11,667 to $233,336) and 5% to 100% of the 2020 base salary for the EVP of Nuclear and Technical Services ($14,000 to $280,000).

 

The performance compensation payable under each MIP for the CEO, CFO and EVP of Strategic Initiatives is based upon meeting certain corporate revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), health and safety, and environmental compliance (permit and license violations) targets and objectives during fiscal year 2020 from our operations, with such targets and objectives approved by the Company’s Board. The performance compensation payable under the MIP for the EVP of Nuclear and Technical Services is based upon meeting certain corporate revenue, EBITDA, health and safety, and cost performance index (“CPI”) (a metric used in measuring project performance) The Compensation Committee believe performance compensation payable under each of the MIPs should be based on achievement of EBITDA, a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measurement, as the Company believes that this target provides a better indicator of operating performance as it excludes certain non-cash items. EBITDA has certain limitations as it does not reflect all items of income or cash flows that affect the Company’s financial performance under GAAP.

 

Performance compensation is paid on or about 90 days after year-end, or sooner, based on finalization of our audited financial statements for 2020.

 

The Compensation Committee retains the right to modify, change or terminate each MIP and may adjust the various target amounts described below, at any time and for any reason.

 

The total paid to the CEO, CFO, EVP of Strategic Initiatives and EVP of Nuclear and Technical Services will not exceed 50% of the Company’s pre-tax net income prior to the calculation of performance compensation.

 

Each MIP is briefly described below, and the descriptions contained herein are qualified by reference to the respective MIPs attached as exhibits 99.1 to 99.4 to this Report.

No performance incentive compensation will be payable to the CEO for achieving the health and safety, permit and license violation, and revenue targets unless a minimum of 60% of the EBITDA target is achieved. Each of the revenue and EBITDA components is based on our Board-approved revenue target and EBITDA target. The 2020 target performance incentive compensation for our CEO is as follows:
