On January 16, 2015, the Compensation Committee conducted its annual review of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen C. Taylor. In connection with that review, the Committee increased the base salary of Mr. Taylor from $505,175 to $543,063. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Taylor’s employment agreement and in recognition of his 2014 performance, the Company granted Mr. Taylor a restricted stock award totaling 83,590 shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2009 Restricted Stock/Unit Plan (the “Plan”).

The closing price of our common stock on January 15, 2015 was $19.49 per share. All 83,590 of the restricted shares are subject to a one year vesting requirement, although such vesting is subject to acceleration and all shares will immediately vest in the case of (i) death, disability, or retirement of the recipient employee, or (ii) a change of control in the Company, as set forth in the Plan. Also, under our Annual Incentive Bonus Plan, for 2015, the Committee maintained Mr. Taylor’s target award opportunity of 100% of his base salary.
