Executive Perquisites

 

Our use of perquisites as a component of compensation is limited and largely based on historical practices and policies of our Company.  These perquisites and other benefits are provided to assure competitiveness and provide an additional retention incentive for these executives.  Our Compensation Committee endeavors to adhere to a high level of propriety in managing executive benefits and perquisites.  We do not own a plane and do not provide any personal aircraft use for executives.

Other Compensation

 

From time to time, we make available to employees and executives certain other fringe benefits.  We may provide club memberships, tickets to sporting or cultural events, tickets to community events, and other similar benefits.  To the extent that such items are taxable to the individual, they are considered to be part of the individual’s compensation package. 

 

Review of and Conclusion Regarding All Components of Executive Compensation

 

Based on our performance during the past several years, and in light of our executives’ efforts in directing the Company, the Compensation Committee and the Board have determined that the compensation paid to our named executive officers, serves the best interests of our shareholders and continues to emphasize programs that the Compensation Committee and the Board believe positively affect shareholder value.

Amount paid in cash to non-employee directors for director compensation earned for their 2022-2023 Board service.

(2)

This column shows the grant date fair value of equity awards computed in accordance with stock-based compensation accounting rules (FASB ASC Topic 718). Values for awards subject to performance conditions are computed based upon the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. For a description of certain assumptions made in the valuation of stock awards, see Part II, Item 8, Note 10 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.

(3)

Represents 28,572 shares of restricted stock at a fair market value per share price of $2.80 granted to each non-employee director on July 12, 2023, as described below under “Restricted Stock Grants.” As of December 30, 2023, Messrs. Palma, Sorrells, and Kirchner and Ms. Lassarat each had a total of 21,429 shares of restricted stock that were unvested.

(4)

Ms. Lassarat was elected to the Board on April 24, 2023.

 

The principal objectives of our director compensation programs are to: (i) compensate for time spent on the Company’s behalf, and (ii) align the compensation programs with long-term value to the Company’s shareholders. We attempt to accomplish these objectives in an economical manner through a combination of reasonable director retainer fees and equity incentive grants to the directors.

 

Retainer Fees

 

Historically, our non-employee directors have received a cash retainer as compensation for their service to the Company, and our Chairman of the Audit Committee also received an additional cash retainer as compensation for such service. Our non-employee directors are also eligible for reimbursement of travel and other miscellaneous expenses associated with attendance at Board and Committee meetings. For the 2023-2024 service term, our directors are being compensated in restricted stock awards in lieu of the cash retainer.

 

Restricted Stock Grants

 

Under the Long Term Incentive Plan, non-employee directors are eligible to receive equity grants. Our non-employee directors typically receive the equity grants concurrent with the annual shareholders’ meeting.  On July 12, 2023, in recognition of the services provided by its Board for the 2023-2024 service term, our non-employee directors, Messrs. Palma, Sorrells, and Kirchner and Ms. Lasarrat, each received 28,572 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $80,000 based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, or $2.80 per share. The shares vested and will vest, as applicable, in equal installments on September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

Consists of 496,375 shares of common stock directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Master Fund”), and 496,375 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a common stock purchase warrant (the “warrant”), which is directly held by the Master Fund. These shares of common stock may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by Armistice Capital, LLC (“Armistice”), as the investment manager of the Master Fund, and Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice. Armistice and Steven Boyd disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interest therein. The warrant is exercisable at any time on or after August 6, 2023 and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 6, 2028. The warrant is also subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation (which may be increased to 9.99% at the election of the warrant holder) that prohibits the Master Fund from exercising any portion of it if, following the exercise, the Master Fund’s ownership of our common stock would exceed the ownership limitation.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Director Independence

 

The Board has determined that no non-employee director has a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that all directors, except William A. Coskey, P.E., meet the criteria for independence under NASDAQ rules. The Board has also determined that the members of each of its committees, which include the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee, meet the criteria for membership applicable to each committee under the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

The Board has adopted a policy requiring that all transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders and their respective affiliates be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unrelated third parties and that any such transactions be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Pursuant to such policy, the Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for the review and assessment of all related party transactions.

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) with Alliance 2000, Ltd. (“Alliance”), the family limited partnership of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William A. Coskey, P.E.  The Original Credit Agreement provided for an initial term loan of $1,000,000 made on June 15, 2023 and an additional term loan of $200,000 made on January 30, 2024. The outstanding principal balance of the terms loans bore interest (computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, as the case may be, actual days elapsed) at a per annum rate equal to 8.5%.

 

In connection with entering into the Original Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries, entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) granting a security interest in favor of Alliance on substantially all of the Company’s and Guarantors’ assets to secure all of the indebtedness and other obligations owed to Alliance under the Credit Agreement and the Guarantors entered into a Continuing Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) pursuant to which the Guarantors guaranteed the payment of all indebtedness owed to Alliance.

 

On April 24, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement” and together with the Original Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Guaranty, the “Loan Documents”) with Alliance, pursuant to which the parties amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) modify the existing term loans in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,200,000 (the “Term Loans”) to (a) extend the maturity date to July 2, 2025, and (b) reduce the applicable interest rate from 8.5% to 8.0% per annum, and (ii) provide a revolving credit facility (the “Line of Credit”) of up to the lesser of (a) a borrowing base and (b) $1,000,000. On the Closing Date, accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $72 thousand under the Term Loans and origination fees of $6,000 in respect of the Term Loans were added to the principal balance thereof. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans will bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, as the case may be, actual days elapsed) at a per annum rate equal to 8.0%. The outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit will bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, as the case may be, actual days elapsed) at a per annum rate equal to 12.0%.

 

 
12

 

 

Alliance is the beneficial owner of more than 22% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and is controlled by William A. Coskey, P.E., the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with the charter of the Company’s Audit Committee and the Company’s policy on related party transactions, the Loan Documents and the resulting transactions were reviewed and approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and determined in good faith to be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unrelated third parties and fair to the Company from a financial point of view, and were approved by all of the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

 

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Moss Adams LLP was appointed as the Company’s independent auditors on November 16, 2017 and has audited the Company’s 2023 and 2022 consolidated financial statements.  During 2023 and 2022, Moss Adams LLP did not audit the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because the Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the rules of the Exchange Act.  The Audit Committee has determined that the audit-related services provided by Moss Adams LLP are compatible with maintaining its independence in the conduct of its auditing functions pursuant to the auditor independence rules of the SEC.  No non-audit services were provided by Moss Adams LLP in 2023 and 2022. 

 

On April 17, 2024, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of M&K CPAs, PLLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2024, and the dismissal of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Principal Auditor Fees

 

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by ENGlobal for the audit and other services provided by Moss Adams LLP for fiscal years 2023 and 2022.

As defined by the SEC, (i) “audit fees” are fees for professional services rendered by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and are not reported under “audit fees”; (iii) “tax fees” are fees for professional services rendered by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) “all other fees” are fees for products and services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, other than the services reported under “audit fees,” “audit-related fees,” and “tax fees.”

 

Pre-Approval Policy

 

Under applicable SEC rules, except for the ability to designate a portion of this responsibility as described below, the full Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence from ENGlobal. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee, and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The SEC’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Consistent with the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to ENGlobal or any of its subsidiaries, except that the Audit Committee Chairman has the right to approve up to $25,000 of services in any year. During 2023, all fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
