Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On November 13, 2015, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), based on the recommendation of the compensation committee of the Board, adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan for 2015 (the “Plan”), to be effective as of that date, which sets forth the terms upon which non-employee independent directors (other than Mr. Trevor, who will not receive any compensation) will be compensated for their service on the Board. Under the terms of the Plan, each participating non-employee independent director will receive an annual cash retainer of $60,000, and the Chair of the Board will receive an additional annual cash retainer of $40,000, in each case retroactive to August 1, 2016. In addition, each participating non-employee director will receive, effective December 31, 2015, a grant, under the Company’s 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, of shares of restricted stock having a value on the grant date equal to the product of (i) $75,000 (or, in the case of the Chair of the Board, $100,000) and (ii) a fraction, where the number is the number of days between August 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 that such director serves on the Board and the denominator is 360, in each case subject to vesting over a three-year period commencing on the grant date. The foregoing description of the Plan is a summary and does not purport to be complete. Such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
