Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 2, 2010, we announced that we have appointed William McGrath to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective immediately.
Mr. McGrath, age 52, has been our interim Chief Financial Officer since February 23, 2010 and prior to that served as our Vice President of Quality Assurance since January 7, 2010. Previously, he was Vice President of Finance and Global Sourcing of QVC, Inc. from May 2009 to November 2009. Prior to that time, he was Vice President Corporate Quality Assurance and Quality Control of QVC from December 1999 to May 2009. At QVC, Mr. McGrath also held the positions of Vice President Merchandise Operations and Inventory Control, Vice President Market Research and Sales Analysis, and Director Financial Planning and Analysis. Prior to QVC, Mr. McGrath served at Subaru of America as Assistant Corporate Controller and Arthur Andersen as Senior Auditor. He earned an MBA in Finance from Drexel University and a BS in Accounting from St. Joseph’s University.
In connection with his appointment as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. McGrath received an increase in his annualized base salary to $250,000, and a one-time salary adjustment payment reflecting his period of service as interim CFO. He received stock options to purchase 55,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price for our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market System on August 2, 2010, the date of grant. The options vest in equal installments over three years and are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant, subject to certain limitations. He will have a target bonus opportunity equal to 40% of his base salary based on our management incentive plan. He is eligible to receive 12 months base salary pursuant to the terms set forth in Exhibit 10.1 (which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02) due to lay-off, job elimination, restructuring or other reasons other than for cause during the first 12 months after the effective date.
A copy of the press release announcing Mr. McGrath’s appointment is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
