Approval of Base Salaries
On November 1, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved new base salaries for certain named executive officers of the Company as follows: $900,000 for Robert A. Cascella, President and Chief Executive Officer, $575,000 for Glenn P. Muir, Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration, and Chief Financial Officer, $375,000 for Peter K. Soltani, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Breast Health, $385,000 for David P. Harding, Senior Vice President and General Manager, International, and $360,000 for Steven S. Williamson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, GYN Surgical Products. These new base salaries were made effective as of October 1, 2011.
Adoption of 2012 Short-Term Incentive Plan
On November 1, 2011, the Compensation Committee also approved the Company’s 2012 Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “STIP”) adopted pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. It is intended that the awards granted under the STIP qualify, to the extent consistent therewith as “Annual Incentive Awards” under Section 7 of the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.
The STIP provides objective performance-based awards for covered employees, subject to a maximum limit, as described in more detail below. Targeted payout levels (“Targeted Payout Levels”) will be achieved at a combination of corporate, divisional and/or individual goals established for each participant. An individual’s bonus components and the weighting of those components are determined by such individual’s title and/or role.
The maximum bonus payouts will be 200% of Targeted Payout Levels (e.g., an individual with a Targeted Payout Level of 50% of annual base salary target would be eligible for a 100% payout). Upon adoption of the STIP, the Compensation Committee also approved a separate discretionary bonus pool of $3.0 million, to be adjusted based upon the Company’s achievement of the corporate bonus targets and allocated at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to decrease any bonus payouts to any participant under the STIP, regardless of the level of bonus targets that have been achieved.
Targeted Payout Levels for each of the Company’s named executive officers (for whom disclosure was required in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for its 2011 annual meeting of stockholders) under this plan as measured by a percentage of base salary are as follows: Mr. Cascella, 105%; Mr. Muir, 85%; John W. Cumming, Global Strategic Advisor, 50%; and Senior Vice Presidents, 50%.
The above description of the STIP does not purport to be complete and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the STIP, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
