(1)           Restricted stock unit grants are made pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest over a three-year period commencing on the date of grant at the rate of: 40% at the end of year one, 30% at the end of year two, and 30% at the end of year three.  Figures shown are the number of units/shares.

 

(2)           The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Patrick M. Byrne, declined to accept any bonus payment relating to 2012.

The bonus pool plan (the “2013 Bonus Plan”) is a Company-wide discretionary bonus pool plan, subject to adjustment, upward or downward, by the Compensation Committee after 2013 results are available.  The total bonus pool under the 2013 Bonus Plan is expected to be an amount equal to 20% of the amount, if any, by which a “Measurement Amount” to be calculated under the 2013 Bonus Plan exceeds approximately $41.4 million with individual bonuses to be paid to all eligible employees at December 31, 2013 whose employment date was prior to October 1, 2013 pro rata to the amount of each employee’s salary at that time.  Under the 2013 Bonus Plan an estimated 3.0% or less of the pool would be allocated to the Officers named above.  For purposes of the 2013 Bonus Plan, the term “Measurement Amount” means net income adjusted for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses, capital structure expenses, directors fees, expenses incurred in connection with certain litigation and related matters, capital expenditures, restructuring charges, certain development expenses, international general and administrative expenses, any 2013 bonuses, and other miscellaneous expenses.  The amounts, if any, that may be payable to each of the Officers under the 2013 Bonus Plan are not determinable at present.

 

Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On January 14, 2013 the Compensation Committee increased the cash fees the Company will pay to its outside directors during 2013 from $50,000 annually to $60,000 annually.
