Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan

 

On December 1, 2015, Marten Transport, Ltd.’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan effective January 1, 2016. The original Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan provided for the establishment of a bonus pool for executive officers if the diluted net income per share, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, prior to accounting for the aggregate value of vesting Performance Unit Awards, the aggregate value of the Bonus Awards and the related tax effects, in the award year is 110% or more of the diluted net income per share in the prior year. The Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan leaves the terms of the original plan unchanged, except that the bonus pool will be based upon the percentage change in net income instead of diluted net income per share.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1.
