Item 5. Other Information
As discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Executive Summary—the Impact of COVID-19” and as previously disclosed, the Company took certain proactive measures to weather the economic environment created by COVID-19. As part of these measures, each of our named executive officers agreed that each named executive officer’s base salary would be reduced by 50% for the period from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. In addition, each of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors agreed to a pro-rata reduction by 50% of their annual cash retainer of $85,000 payable for the period from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
In light of the Company’s financial performance for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and, as part of a broader program to restore the reduced cash compensation for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 for all of the Company’s employees whose base salaries were reduced, and similar to the decision that was made in the second quarter of the Company’s 2021 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) on March 10, 2021 approved the payment to the Company’s named executive officers of an amount equal to the reduced base salary not paid to such officers for the third quarter of the Company’s 2021 fiscal year, subject to applicable tax withholding and other deductions. In addition, the Committee also approved the payment to the non-employee members of the Board of an amount equal to the reduced cash retainer not paid to such Board members for the third quarter of the Company’s 2021 fiscal year, subject to such director’s continued service as a director with the Company until the date of such payment.
