Incentive Compensation Plan Performance Goals and Target Payments
On July 24, 2008, the Board of Directors of Key Tronic Corporation (“Company”), upon the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, established the performance goals and target payment percentages for each participant in the incentive compensation plan (“Plan”) for the Company’s fiscal year 2009.
A minimum Company profit goal must be achieved in order for any payments to be made to participants in the Plan. Payments under the Plan for fiscal year 2009 will be based on three profit goal performance levels established by the Board: entry level, expected value level and overachievement level. Payments under the Plan will be a percentage of the participant’s base salary paid during fiscal year 2009.
The following executive officers of the Company are among the participants in the Plan: Jack W. Oehlke, President & CEO; Craig D. Gates, Executive Vice President & General Manager; Ronald F. Klawitter, Executive Vice President of Administration, CFO and Treasurer; and George R. Alford, Executive Vice President of Materials. Under the Plan the potential payment percentages established by the Board for fiscal year 2009 for the President & CEO range from 5% of base salary paid during fiscal year 2009 if entry level performance is achieved to 75% if overachievement level performance is achieved. The potential payment percentages established by the Board for fiscal year 2009 for each of the three Executive Vice Presidents range from 4% of base salary paid during fiscal year 2009 if entry level performance is achieved to 60% if overachievement level performance is achieved. Payment percentages will be interpolated for actual performance levels achieved between entry level and expected value level and between expected value level and overachievement level.
Payments under the Plan will be made as soon as administratively possible after the end of fiscal year 2009. A participant must be an active employee of the Company at the time payments are made under the Plan in order to receive a payment.
Fiscal Years 2009-2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan Performance Measures and Awards
On July 24, 2008, the Board of Directors upon recommendation of its Compensation Committee, established long term incentive plan performance measures for the three fiscal year period 2009 through 2011. The Board of Directors also approved target awards for the three year period for each of the Company’s officers and non-employee Directors. The fiscal 2009-2011 performance measures are based on a combination of sales growth targets and return on invested capital targets. No cash awards will be made to participants if actual Company performance does not exceed the minimum target performance measures. The payments after the end of fiscal year 2011 to each of the named executive officers for the three year performance period, if expected target performance measures are achieved, are as follows: Jack W. Oehlke, President and CEO - $250,000; Craig D. Gates, Executive Vice President & General Manager - $150,000; Ronald F. Klawitter, Executive Vice President of Administration, CFO & Treasurer - $120,000; George R. Alford, Executive Vice President of Materials - $40,000. The payment after the end of fiscal year 2011 to each non-employee director of the Company for said three year period, if expected target performance measures are achieved, is $10,000. Actual cash payments to participants under the target awards may be as much as 50% less than the target award amounts or as much as 50% greater than the target award amounts depending on the extent to which Company performance is less than or exceeds the expected target performance measures.
