Item 1.01: | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 22, 2006, the Compensation Committee of Cybex International, Inc. (“Cybex”) determined that, based upon 2005 performance, no bonus is payable under the 2005 management incentive compensation bonus program.
On February 22, 2006, the Compensation Committee, acting on authority granted by the Cybex Board of Directors, provided final approval of a management incentive compensation bonus program for 2006 adopted pursuant to the Cybex 2005 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. Employees at the executive officer, officer and director levels are eligible to participate in this program. Named Executive Officers can earn up to 60% of base salary if Cybex meets specified levels of operating income in 2006; any bonus so earned will be payable one-half in cash and one-half in restricted stock. The other participants in the program can earn bonuses, payable in cash, of up to 40% of base salary if the specified levels of 2006 operating income are met.
On February 22, 2006, Cybex entered into a Management Employment Agreement with Arthur W. Hicks, Jr., effective as of January 1, 2006. Pursuant to the Management Employment Agreement, Mr. Hicks serves as the Chief Operating Officer of Cybex, for which Mr. Hicks will receive a salary in 2006 at the rate of $265,000 per year.
On February 24, 2006, Cybex entered into an Amended and Restated Management Employment Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with Ray Giannelli, effective as of January 1, 2006, which amends and restates the Management Employment Agreement dated as of September 1, 2004. Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, Mr. Giannelli will continue to serve as Senior Vice President of Research and Development of Cybex, for which he will receive a salary at the rate of $300,000 per year. The Amended Agreement provides that this employment will have an initial term of five years, with Mr. Giannelli having the right to extended severance upon a termination without cause, his death or, in certain events, a change of control. Under the Amended Agreement, Mr.Giannelli waives and releases any right to revert to a Royalty Incentive Program in which Mr. Giannelli formerly participated. Cybex is paying to him the sum of $299,407.38 for royalties which it had accrued but not paid in prior fiscal periods. Except as indicated, the terms of the original Management Employment Agreement otherwise remain materially the same.
