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

 

On March 9, 2010, Thomas Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a second amendment to the employment agreement with Mr. Michael E. McGrath, the Company’s Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. McGrath”).  Pursuant to this amendment, Mr. McGrath has agreed to continue in his roles of Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for 2010 at his existing annual salary of $330,000.  The amendment provides that Mr. McGrath devote substantially all of his business time and energy to his duties with Thomas Group. The amendment also increases from $35,000 to $50,000 the maximum amount that Mr. McGrath may be reimbursed during a 12-month period for the actual cost of airfare for travel from his residences in Maine or Boston to Dallas for Company business. It also provides that Mr. McGrath will no longer be eligible for up to a $200,000 performance-based cash bonus as provided in his previous employment agreement.

 

On March 9, 2010, the Company granted to Mr. McGrath a Restricted Share Award entitling him to receive an aggregate of up to 600,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock in four equal installments under the 2008 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan for Thomas Group, Inc. (the “Plan”).  Pursuant to this award, he will receive 150,000 shares at the end of each calendar quarter of 2010 provided he continues to be employed by the Company in the roles of Executive, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer on the last day of such quarter.  Upon delivery, the shares will be free of restrictions, except as may otherwise be required by law.

 

On March 9, 2010, Mr. McGrath and the Company agreed to cancel the Performance Share Award previously granted on March 1, 2008 under which Mr. McGrath was eligible to receive up to 350,000 performance shares under the Plan, subject to the achievement of certain performance targets for 2008, 2009, and 2010.
