Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On April 27, 2010, Tollgrade Communications, Inc. (the Company) adopted a 2010 commission
compensation plan for Robert H. King, the Companys Vice President, Global Sales and Services, who
was a named executive officer in the Companys last proxy statement. The terms of the plan were
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with the concurrence of the full
Board.
Under the plan, Mr. King will be eligible to receive commission compensation at a rate which is
equal to a percentage of the Companys 2010 revenue. At the base rate, Mr. King will be paid
commission at the rate of 0.2% in addition to his base salary of $228,000. If the Company achieves
its revenue plan established for 2010 (the Revenue Plan), retroactive to January 1, 2010, Mr.
King will be eligible to receive straight commission (in lieu of and not in addition to his base
salary) at the plan rate of 1%, and for any portion of the Companys 2010 revenue which exceeds
the Revenue Plan, at the over plan rate of 3%. Once the Companys Revenue Plan is achieved, Mr.
Kings 2010 compensation will be recalculated in accordance with the appropriate commission rates
retroactive to January 1, 2010, and amounts previously paid to him in the form of base salary and
at the base commission rate will be credited toward the recalculated amount. In the event that the
Company does not achieve its 2010 Revenue Plan, Mr. King will receive as compensation his base
salary and commission earned at the base rate.
