(b) On January 19 and 23, 2014 Stephen Phillips and Bernard A. Bianchino, respectively, resigned as members of the Board of Directors of Digital Ally, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company accepted these resignations as part of its new cost cutting initiatives and to reduce the size and streamline the operation of the Board. The Company is grateful for the service of these individuals as Board members. In connection with their resignations and in recognition of their service, the Company accelerated the vesting of the restricted stock awards made to them in May 2013.

 

Mr. Phillips will continue to provide consulting services to the Company for new product development, technological innovation and special engineering projects.

 

(e) On January 17, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) set the annual base salaries of Stanton E. Ross, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas J. Heckman, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, at $175,000 each for 2014, which is unchanged from the three previous years.

 

The Committee determined that Stanton E. Ross and Thomas J. Heckman would be eligible for a bonus of $100,000 each in 2014 based on their performance during the year. The Committee will review each executive officer’s performance on a periodic basis in 2014 and determine what, if any, portion of the bonus he has earned and will be paid as of such point.

 

The Committee also determined that Messrs. Ross and Heckman would be eligible for awards of stock options or restricted stock in 2014 based on their performance.
