Item 5. Other Information
Item 5. Other Information.
On July 27, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the
“Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors approved an annual incentive cash compensation program for the Company’s
named executive officers. Rather than continue to establish financial targets pursuant to the Company’s Management Bonus Plan which
in preceding years provided annual cash bonuses based upon the achievement of certain annual EBITDA thresholds, the Committee elected,
following consultation with its outside compensation advisors, to implement a discretionary bonus program based upon the Company’s
performance and the individual executive’s contributions. The Committee has determined that a discretionary annual bonus for
the named executive officers enables the Committee (i) to tailor compensation based upon individual performance, (ii) to consider long
versus short term goals, (iii) to evaluate the Company’s overall financial performance (or a business unit or subsidiary performance,
as the case may be), and (iv) to appraise the attainment of other Company objectives.
