Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 13, 2013, the bonuses for the executive officers of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for 2012 were established, upon the completion of the performance reviews for each of the executive officers for 2012. The Compensation Committee applied the criteria previously established and in conformance with the Executive Officer Cash Bonus Structure as described in Exhibit 10.4 to NovaBay’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2012, and determined that a company performance achievement of 71.3% should be applied to the pre-established target bonuses for the executive officers.
The pre-established target bonuses for NovaBay’s executive officers appearing in NovaBay’s summary compensation table in the company’s latest proxy statement (the “NovaBay’s named executive officers”) are 40% of base salary for Ramin (“Ron”) Najafi, Ph.D., NovaBay’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and 30% of base salary for each of Thomas J. Paulson, NovaBay’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Behzad Khosrovi, Ph.D., NovaBay’s Chief Alliance Officer and SVP, Product Development.
