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

 

As described below in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on November 20, 2019, the Board declared a special cash dividend of $0.25 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on December 12, 2019 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on December 3, 2019. On the same date, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a proportionate adjustment to the stock option granted to Mr. Karkus on February 23, 2018 (the “CEO Option”) as required under the Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) as a consequence of the special cash dividend.

 

The 2018 Plan provides for certain proportionate adjustments to be made to stock options granted under the 2018 Plan upon the occurrence of certain events, including a special distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities, or other property). Accordingly, the Compensation Committee has adjusted the terms of the CEO Option, such that the exercise price of the CEO Option will be reduced from $1.75 per share to $1.50 per share, effective as of December 12, 2019, the date the special cash dividend is to be paid and subject to such dividend payment being made.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.
