FTD Companies,Inc. (NASDAQ:FTD) Files An 8-K Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Item 5.02

Story continues below

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

Effective January24, 2019, the compensation committee (the “Committee”) of the board of directors (the “Board”) of FTD Companies,Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the FTD Companies,Inc. 2019 Management Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan is an incentive program under the incentive bonus program and the stock issuance program of the Company’s stockholder-approved Third Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (as last amended and restated as of June5, 2018, the “2013 ICP”).

The Committee has the discretion to determine the portion of the bonus awards to be paid in cash and the portion to be paid in common stock of the Company, which common stock would be issued directly as vested shares under the stock issuance program of the 2013 ICP.

For each participant, bonus awards are tied to corporate performance goals based on the Company’s revenue and net income/loss before net interest expense, provision for/benefit from income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, litigation and dispute settlement charges and gains, transaction related costs, restructuring and other exit costs, corporate reorganization costs, and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets (“adjusted EBITDA”) for the 2019 fiscal year. These corporate goals may relate to the Company’s consolidated revenue and adjusted EBITDA, provided that the relevant consolidated goals are weighted equally at target.

In addition, for all participants other than the president and chief executive officer of the Company, a portion of the bonus awards is tied to achievement of Company key operating metrics approved by the Board, all of which will be weighted equally, and achievement of such participant’s approved individual goals for the 2019 fiscal year.

One hundred percent (50%) of the potential bonus award for the president and chief executive officer of the Company is based on consolidated corporate financial goals. For all other participants, forty percent (40%) of the participant’s potential bonus award is based on consolidated corporate financial goals, forty percent (40%) of the participant’s potential bonus award is based on Company key operating metrics and twenty percent (20%) of the participant’s potential bonus award is based on individual goals.

Up to eleven potential levels of goal attainment from threshold to maximum have been established for the applicable revenue and adjusted EBITDA goals. For each specified level of attainment, there is a specific dollar amount individually allocated to each participant based on a certain percentage of his or her total base salary for the fiscal year. As to each of the key operating metric goals, a dollar amount will be allocated to each participant based on a certain percentage of his or her total base salary for the fiscal year determined with reference to the weighted level of total achievement of such key operating metric goal.

The actual amount of the bonus award will be based on the actual levels at which the applicable goals are in fact attained. If there is not at least threshold attainment of each applicable goal, then no bonus award will be earned with respect to that particular performance metric. In addition, if consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the 2019 fiscal year is more than 10% below target, no payouts will be made under the Bonus Plan regardless of performance as to any other performance metric. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may adjust the actual amount of a participant’s bonus award if it determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.

In order to receive their bonuses, participants generally will be required to continue in the Company’s employ through the last business day of 2019. However, a pro-rated bonus payout based on actual attained levels of performance will be provided to any participant whose employment terminates before such date by reason of death or disability, and such amount will be paid entirely in cash. A pro-rated bonus payout based on actual attained levels of performance also may be provided to any participant who was on a leave of absence during a portion of the 2019 fiscal year. The Bonus Plan imposes a limit of $2.0 million on the maximum bonus amount payable to any participant for the 2019 fiscal year.

The following chart identifies the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and current named executive officers, each of whom has been selected as a participant in the Bonus Plan, and the target

and maximum bonus amounts payable to each of them, based on their current salary, if the applicable performance goals are each attained at the target or maximum level, respectively:
