On June 7, 2010, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the Board of Directors (the Board) of Dollar Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation (the Company), took the actions described below.
2011 Management Cash Bonus Program
The Committee approved a cash bonus program for the Companys fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (Fiscal 2011) pursuant to which certain management personnel of the Company will participate (the 2011 Cash Bonus Program), including each of the Companys named executive officers: Jeffrey Weiss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Randy Underwood, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Norman Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; Syd Franchuk, Executive Vice President and Chairman National Money Mart Company; and Silvio Piccini, Senior Vice President and Managing Director United Kingdom Operations (collectively, the NEOs).
The 2011 Cash Bonus Program provides for target and maximum bonus opportunities as a percentage of each participants annual base compensation for Fiscal 2011, with that percentage determined based upon the Companys achievement of certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) goals, the performance of the business unit in which the participant operates, and/or the Companys achievement of strategic objectives established by the Board.
The following table sets forth the target and maximum bonus opportunities for each of the NEOs under the 2011 Cash Bonus Program, expressed as a percentage of each NEOs annual base compensation for Fiscal 2011:
Named Executive Officer | Target Bonus Opportunity | Maximum Bonus Opportunity | ||||||
Jeffrey Weiss
|
125 | % | 175 | % | ||||
Randy Underwood
|
90 | % | 180 | % | ||||
Norman Miller
|
90 | % | 180 | % | ||||
Sydney Franchuk
|
60 | % | 120 | % | ||||
Silvio Piccini
|
50 | % | 100 | % |
Under the 2011 Cash Bonus Program, the bonuses of Messrs. Weiss, Underwood and Miller will be based on the Companys consolidated EBITDA for Fiscal 2011, the bonus of Mr. Franchuk will be based on the performance of the Companys Canadian business unit during Fiscal 2011 and the bonus of Mr. Piccini will be based primarily on the performance of the Companys U.K. business unit during Fiscal 2011.
The Committee and/or the Board will determine the EBITDA operating targets and methodology on which bonuses are paid pursuant to the 2011 Cash Bonus Program based upon methods historically used by the Company. The Committee and the Board retain the right to amend, alter or terminate the 2011 Cash Bonus Program at any time. Bonuses under the 2011 Cash Bonus Program will be calculated and paid after finalizing the Companys annual financial results for Fiscal 2011.
2011 Long-Term Incentive Program
The Committee approved a long-term incentive program for Fiscal 2011 (the 2011 LTIP), pursuant to which certain management personnel of the Company, including each of the NEOs, are eligible to receive (i) options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock (Options), (ii) restricted stock units of the Companys common stock (RSUs), and (iii) long term incentive cash payments (Incentive Cash Payments).
The Options and RSUs, which have a grant date of June 7, 2010, vest ratably on a quarterly basis over a three-year period beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2010. When vested, the Options will be exercisable at a price of $17.97 per share, the closing price of the Companys common stock on June 7, 2010. The Incentive Cash Payments vest ratably on an annual basis over a three-year period beginning on June 30, 2011 if, and only if, the Company attains a consolidated EBITDA target for Fiscal 2011 and/or other strategic objectives established by the Board.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of the Companys common stock subject to the Options and RSUs, and the amounts with respect to the Incentive Cash Payments, awarded to each of the NEOs under the 2011 LTIP:
