The restricted stock vests in one-third increments on each of June 2, 2006, 2007 and 2008.  No consideration was paid for the restricted stock.  The options vest and become exercisable on December 2, 2005 and expire on June 2, 2015.  The option exercise price is $15.85 (the closing price of our stock on the Nasdaq National Market System on the date of grant).

 

                  Changed the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan bonus pay-out for achieving the minimum earnings per share target for the year from 1% of base target bonus to 75% of base target bonus (affected executive officers are Donald T. Johnson, Jr., Todd R. Peters, John J. Machota, John M. Pinkerton, Mary T. Ryan, Joseph Salamunovich, John R. Colarossi, William L. Conley, Jr. and Brett O. Dickson).

 

                  Adopted a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides for, among other things, a company contribution of 50 cents for each dollar of base salary deferred, up to 10% of base salary.  The plan is designed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

On June 2, 2005, we also granted 2,500 shares of restricted stock and 7,500 stock options to each of our independent directors (Robert L. Evans, Curtland E. Fields, Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Michael D. Jordan, S. Lawrence Prendergast and Edward Stewart).  The restricted stock vests in one-third increments on each of June 2, 2006, 2007 and 2008.  No consideration was paid for the restricted stock.  The options vest and become exercisable on December 2, 2005 and expire on June 2, 2015.  The option exercise price is $15.85 (the closing price of our stock on the Nasdaq National Market System on the date of grant).

 

On June 2, 2005, we accelerated the vesting of the following “out-of-the-money” stock options previously granted to executive officers and directors:

*                 The closing price of our stock on the Nasdaq National Market System on the date of acceleration of vesting was $15.85.

 

The acceleration of these options is intended to eliminate a possible compensation expense associated with these options in future periods due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment.  The expense on a pre-tax basis would have been approximately $208,000 over the course of the original vesting periods of the accelerated options (which on average is approximately 1.9 years from June 2, 2005).

 

We believe that because the options have exercise prices in excess of the current market value of our common stock, the options have limited economic value and are not fully achieving their original objective of incentive compensation and executive retention.

 

Item 5.02.                                          Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

 

On June 2, 2005, the following occurred:

 

                  Robert L. Evans, Curtland E. Fields, Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Donald T. Johnson, Jr., Michael D. Jordan, S. Lawrence Prendergast and Edward Stewart were reelected as directors of Aftermarket Technology Corp.

 

                  Robert Anderson, Michael T. DuBose, Dale F. Frey, Mark C. Hardy and Gerald L. Parsky retired from the Board of Directors.

 

                  Donald T. Johnson, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed Chairman of the Board.

 

                  Michael D. Jordan was appointed Lead Director.

 

                  John M. Pinkerton was appointed Vice President and Controller, our principal accounting officer.  Mr. Pinkerton joined Aftermarket Technology Corp. in 1999 as Manager, Planning and Analysis and became Controller in 2000.  Prior to joining us, he was an independent financial consultant during 1998 and prior to that he spent ten years with Grimes Aerospace Company where he held several different finance positions including Director of Strategic Planning.  Mr. Pinkerton holds an M.B.A. from the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and is a certified public accountant (inactive).

Item 8.01.                                          Other Events.

 

On June 2, 2005, we accelerated the vesting of 27,173 “out-of-the-money” stock options previously granted to non-executive officer employees.  The acceleration of these options is intended to eliminate a possible compensation expense associated with these options in future periods due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment.  The expense on a pre-tax basis would have been approximately $69,000 over the course of the original vesting periods of the accelerated options (which on average is approximately 1.9 years from June 2, 2005).

 

We believe that because the options have exercise prices in excess of the current market value of our common stock, the options have limited economic value and are not fully achieving their original objective of incentive compensation and employee retention.
