Compensation of Interim CEO

     As previously disclosed, on May 3, 2013, the Board of Directors of Meritor, Inc. (“Meritor”) appointed Ivor J. Evans Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer and President. On May 24, 2013, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Meritor (the “Committee”) approved the following compensation for Mr. Evans, retroactive to the date of his start, for the term in which he serves in this role:

  • a base salary of $90,000 per month, pro-rated for May and any other month in which he serves less than a month; and
  • a cash bonus of $250,000 per month, also pro-rated for any month in which he serves less than a month, and awarded by the Committee based on the performance goals set forth below.

     The Committee established the following three discretionary performance goals to be evaluated on a periodic basis for bonus determination purposes:

  • Progress against Meritor’s strategic plan (current year and three-year plan);
  • Evaluation of current organizational structure; and
  • Assistance in identifying and interviewing permanent CEO candidates

     During the period that Mr. Evans serves in the capacity of Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer and President, he will forgo his Board retainer and related fees that he would have received serving as an independent director of Meritor.
