NEW YORK MORTGAGE TRUST, INC. (NASDAQ:NYMT) 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. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 8, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that Kevin M. Donlon will be slotted into the Company’s 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, for the 2016 fiscal year (the “2016 Bonus Plan”) in a manner similar to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). As such, Mr. Donlon’s incentive compensation under the 2016 Bonus Plan is weighted such that 80% is based on performance under the quantitative component and 20% under the qualitative component contained in the 2016 Bonus Plan. In addition, the quantitative and qualitative performance measure hurdles and corresponding payout percentages for Mr. Donlon, as well as the calculation of the amount of aggregate compensation that is required to be paid in restricted common stock of the Company will be consistent with those previously established for the CEO. Mr. Donlon was named the President of the Company on May 16, 2016 and his employment agreement with the Company provides that he is eligible to participate in the Company’s 2016 Bonus Plan.
