ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Retention Arrangements and Annual Cash Bonus Plan Modification
On February 13, 2026, in order to enhance the retention of certain key officers of the Company, the Compensation Committee of the Board authorized and approved retention arrangements with the executive officers of the Company and certain other officers of the Company. Certain officers of the Company and one executive officer (Mr. Garber) will receive a one-time cash payment during the first quarter of 2026. Mr. Garber will receive a one-time cash payment of $150,000. The other executive officers of the Company (Messrs. Lipar, Snider and Merdian) and one other officer of the Company have their one-time cash payments tied to the Company’s Net Debt to Capitalization as of June 30, 2026. The target payment for Messrs. Lipar, Snider and Merdian is $600,000, $350,000 and $300,000, respectively. If the Company’s Net Debt to Capitalization as of June 30, 2026 is: greater than 45%, then the cash payment is 50% of target; between 40% and 45%, then the cash payment is 100% of target; and below 40%, then the cash payment is 150% of target. All of the retention cash payments are subject to payback if the recipient voluntarily leaves the Company before December 31, 2026.
In addition, the Compensation Committee of the Board modified the potential bonus to be paid under the Company’s 2026 annual cash bonus plan for all participants in the plan, including Messrs. Lipar, Snider, Merdian, and Garber. Such participants will receive an additional bonus equal to 25% of such participant’s 2026 bonus paid under the Company’s annual cash bonus plan if the Company’s return on equity (“ROE”) for 2026 is above 10%. ROE for purposes of this potential bonus is defined as the Company’s net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 as reported in the Company’s audited Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 divided by the average of the Company’s total equity as of March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2026 as reported in the respective Balance Sheet of the Company for each such date.
Amendment to Lipar Employment Agreement
On April 22, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement with Eric Lipar, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board (the “Lipar Employment Agreement”). The amendment provides that, if both the Lipar Employment Agreement and the Change in Control Severance Agreement between the Company and Mr. Lipar (the “Lipar CIC Agreement”) provide for benefits upon a qualifying change in control, Mr. Lipar is entitled to receive the benefits that are, in the aggregate, more favorable to him under either the Lipar Employment Agreement or the Lipar CIC Agreement, but not both.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
