Long-Term Incentive Plans

4. Long-Term Incentive Plans

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plans.  All equity awards granted under long-term incentive plans are issued from the Company’s stockholder-approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan.   See Note 5, Stock-Based Compensation.

Under the Company’s First Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017 the Compensation Committee established performance targets which cover a two-year performance period (each a “Performance Period”), thereby creating overlapping Performance Periods.  Each participant in the plan is entitled to receive an award based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her long-term incentive program percentage, which was 100% for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 70% for senior executives and 25% for other participants in the plan.  Because of the overlapping two-year Performance Periods, the Target Cash Value for any award is based on one year of annual salary. All awards granted under both the 2016-2017 LTIP and 2017-2018 LTIP were in restricted stock units (RSUs).

 

For each participant, 50% of the Target Cash Value is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting.  The time-vested portion of the award vests in two installments with 50% of the time-vested portion vesting on April 1 following the fiscal year end which marks the end of the applicable Performance Period and 50% vesting on April 1 the succeeding year. The performance-based vesting is subject to the achievement of the performance target(s) for the applicable Performance Period. Awards for any achievement of performance targets would not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and would then be subject to additional vesting through August 31 following the end of the applicable Performance Period.  

 

For the 2016-2017 Performance Period, the Company achieved 54.4% of its “DXL Comparable Store Marginal Cash-Over-Cash Return” target, defined as the aggregate of each comparable DXL store’s four-wall cash flow for fiscal 2017 divided by the aggregate capital investment, net of any tenant allowance, for each comparable DXL store.  The minimum threshold for the EBITDA target was not achieved.  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Accordingly, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2017, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a 27.2% payout resulting in awards totaling $0.5 million, with a grant date of April 2, 2018.  On that date, the Company granted 265,749 RSUs, which are subject to vesting through August 31, 2018.    

 

On April 2, 2018, in conjunction with the grant of the RSUs, the Company reclassified $0.4 million of the liability accrual from “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” to “Additional paid-in capital.” See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

 

For the 2017-2018 Performance Period, the Compensation Committee established two performance targets under the LTIP (the “2017-2018 LTIP”), each weighted 50%.  The first target is Total Company Comparable Sales and will be measured based on a two-year stack, which is the sum of the Total Company Comparable Sales for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018.  The second target is a Modified ROIC, which is defined as Operating Income divided by Invested Capital (Total Debt plus Stockholders’ Equity).  

 

Assuming that the Company achieves the performance target at target levels and all time-vested awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2017-2018 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.2 million.  Approximately half of the compensation expense relates to the time-vested RSUs, which are being expensed over thirty-six months, based on the respective vesting dates. With respect to the performance-based component, RSUs will be granted at the end of the performance period if the performance targets are achieved. Through the end of the first six months of fiscal 2018, no accrual has been made for performance awards under the 2017-2018 LTIP.    

 

In June 2018, the Company amended its LTIP by executing the Second Amended and Restated LTIP (the “Amended LTIP”), which among other things, extends the performance period for awards to three years, beginning with grants in fiscal 2018. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2018, no performance targets have been established. In accordance with the terms of the Amended LTIP, the Compensation Committee has until November 3, 2018 to establish performance targets for the 2018-2020 performance period.
