Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 5, 2005, the First Advantage Corporation’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Company’s compensation committee, approved the Senior Executive Annual Incentive Program (“Incentive Program”), which memorializes the qualitative and quantitative measurements to be used to determine whether certain senior executives of the Company are eligible for incentive bonus awards for fiscal year 2005. Eligible participants include the Company’s “name executive officers” and the following senior executives: General Counsel, Chief Information Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Division President. The Company’s “named executive officers” comprised of, John Long, Chief Executive Officer and President, John Lamson, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Akshaya Mehta, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, and Evan Barnett, Business Unit President, each have a target award opportunity equal to 100% of their base salary for fiscal year 2005. The target award opportunity for all participants is based upon the achievement of certain performance measurements. For Messrs. Long, Lamson and Mehta, the performance measurements are comprised of financial measurements of the Company as a whole and non-financial measurements at the following relative weight:

 

Performance

Measurement

  Relative Weight

Earnings Per Share of the

Company

  66 2/3 percent

Individual Non-Financial

Qualitative Performance

Objectives

  33 1/3 percent

 

For Messr. Barnett, the performance measurements are also comprised of financial and non-financial measurements at the following relative weight:

 

Performance
Measurement
  Relative Weight

Earnings Per Share of the

Company

  25 percent

Individual Qualitative

Performance Objectives

  25 percent
Business Unit Pre-tax Profit   50 percent

 

The actual bonuses earned by the Company’s “named executive officers” are then determined by comparing the Company’s actual performance, or the Business Unit’s performance, as the case may be, during fiscal year 2005 against the target performance goals for the above-mentioned performance measurements. The fiscal 2005 bonus threshold and maximum amounts will range from 25% of the target bonus amount to 150% of the target bonus amount for the Company’s “named executive officers” based on performance achievement of between 85% of the target and 115% of target.

 

In the event of termination of employment of any participant during fiscal year 2005, the compensation committee may in its sole discretion, determine the amount, timing, and form or any bonus payments payable under the Incentive Program.
