Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 21, 2018, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Digirad Corporation (the “Company”), recommended for approval, and the Board approved and adopted the Company's 2018 Executive Incentive Bonus Plan (the “2018 Executive Incentive Plan”).

Base Salary
As part of the adoption of the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee determined to not make any changes at that time to the annual base salaries of the Company's executive officers.

Cash Bonus
Cash bonus payouts for our executive officers, pursuant to the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan, will be based on a percentage of base salary and payable based on the achievement of certain performance targets, as described in further detail below:

For each executive officer, the amount of total cash bonus payable under the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan will be based on performance above a target measure of consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for fiscal 2018 (the “Threshold Measure”), subject to other provisions of the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan. Payouts under the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan are calculated and earned when the Company achieves the Threshold Measure. Once the Threshold Measure is met, the cash bonuses are calculated based on EBITDA amounts achieved above the Threshold Measure. No bonuses are paid to executive officers under the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan if the Threshold Measure is not achieved. Each executive officer may earn up to 175% of their target bonus based on achievement relative to the Threshold Measure.
The actual cash bonuses payable (if any) for the achievement of such objectives will be determined by the Compensation Committee, and will be payable upon the completion of the financial audit of the consolidated financial statements, but in any event not later than March 15, 2019, subject to each such executive officer's employment through the date of payment.
The target percentage for each executive officer remained at the current levels established in 2017. The cash bonus targets for our named executive officers, pursuant to the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan, were approved by the Board after being reviewed by the Compensation Committee and recommended for Board approval.

Equity Grants
In connection with the adoption of the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee determined that, as part of a long-term retention mechanism and to incentivize the executive officers to increase the Company’s shareholder value, the following restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) will be awarded effective on February 28, 2018 (the “Grant Date”), to the executive officers listed below. Half of such RSU grants will vest over four years in four equal installments, with each such installment vesting on each anniversary of the Grant Date. The remaining half of such RSU grants will vest over four years in four equal installments, with each such installment vesting on each anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to satisfaction of certain 2018 performance criteria objectives. Each RSU grant will be made pursuant to and subject to the terms of the 2018 Executive Incentive Plan, the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Award Plan, and the respective award agreement that sets forth the terms of the grant.
