Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On January 26, 2016, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of BG Staffing, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a new Employment Agreement between B G Staff Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and L. Allen Baker, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, which was executed on January 26, 2016, effective as of December 28, 2015, and continues through December 31, 2018 with successive one year extensions unless terminated pursuant to the employment agreement. The new employment agreement replaces the employment agreement with Mr. Baker entered into on April 30, 2009.
Mr. Baker’s employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $375,000 which will be evaluated at least annually, and may be raised, but may not be less than $375,000 annualized. It also provides for an annual cash bonus tied to the Company’s meeting certain fiscal year profit objectives based on “adjusted EBITDA” (as defined in the employment agreement) and other objectives as determined solely by the Company and provided he is still employed by the Company on December 31 of the year to which each such bonus relates. Additionally, the employment agreement provides for Mr. Baker to participate in the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”).
Mr. Baker’s employment agreement provides that if he is terminated without cause or terminates his employment for good reason, he will be entitled, after execution of our standard form release agreement, to severance payments equal to twelve months of base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice, plus any earned but unpaid base salary, bonus, expense reimbursements through the date of termination and unused paid time off, and the amount of monthly COBRA premium for Mr. Baker and his dependents, grossed-up for federal income taxes, for eighteen months.
If Mr. Baker is terminated without cause or terminates his employment for good reason within one year after a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled, after execution of our standard form release agreement, to severance payments equal to eighteen months of base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice, plus any earned but unpaid base salary, bonus, expense reimbursements through the date of termination, unused paid time off, and the amount of monthly COBRA premium for Mr. Baker and his dependents, grossed-up for federal income taxes, for eighteen months. Additionally, Mr. Baker will become 100% vested in any awards outstanding under the 2013 Plan or similar plan.
Mr. Baker also entered concurrently into an agreement containing customary non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-interference and non-competition provisions, which is included as an exhibit to the employment agreement. The employment agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1. The above description is not complete and is qualified by reference to such exhibit.
