HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE:HCI) 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 Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On February 20, 2020, to a performance bonus plan adopted April 8, 2019, our compensation committee awarded a $1,476,572 cash bonus to our chief executive officer, Paresh Patel. The committee determined Mr. Patel exceeded the minimum performance targets under the plan, which were based on two 2019 measures: earnings before interest and income taxes and return on equity.
The committee also exercised discretion to award Mr. Patel an additional 2019 cash bonus of $73,428. In awarding this bonus, the committee determined the formulaic performance bonus did not fully reflect the value of Mr. Patel’s strategic guidance and leadership in transitioning the company toward technology. For example, the growth of TypTap Insurance Company, our technology driven insurance subsidiary, exceeded expectations and led to a return to premium growth at the overall HCI Group enterprise during 2019.
