Incentive Compensation Plan Performance Goals and Target Payments
On September 3, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Key Tronic Corporation ("Company"), upon the recommendation of its Compensation and Administration Committee (the "Compensation Committee"), established the performance goals and target payment percentages for each participant in the incentive compensation plan ("ICP") for the Company's fiscal year 2025.
A minimum Company profit goal must be achieved in order for any payments to be made to participants in the ICP. Payments under the ICP for fiscal year 2025 will be based on three profit goal performance levels established by the Board: entry level, expected value level and overachievement level. If overachievement level is exceeded, the participants will participate in a bonus pool equal to 25% of the profit goal performance achieved in excess of overachievement level. Payments under the ICP will be a percentage of the participant's base salary paid during fiscal year 2025.
The following executive officers of the Company are among the participants in the ICP: Brett R. Larsen, President & CEO; Anthony G. Voorhees, Executive Vice President of Administration, CFO and Treasurer; and Philip S. Hochberg, Executive Vice President of Customer Relations and Integration. Under the ICP, the potential payment percentages established by the Board for fiscal year 2025 for Mr. Larsen range from 10% of base salary paid during fiscal year 2025 if entry level performance is achieved to 150% if overachievement level performance is achieved. The potential payment percentages established by the Board for fiscal year 2025 for both Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Hochberg range from 7% if entry level performance is achieved to 105% if overachievement level performance is achieved. Payment percentages will be interpolated for actual performance levels achieved between entry level and expected value level and between expected value level and overachievement level.
Payments under the ICP will be made as soon as administratively possible after the end of fiscal year 2025. A participant must be an active employee of the Company at the time payments are made under the ICP in order to receive a payment.
Base Salary Increases
On September 3, 2024, the Board, upon the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, approved an increase in the bi-weekly salary, effective September 3, 2024, of Mr. Hochberg from $15,162 to $16,678.
Fiscal Years 2025-2027 Long-Term Incentive Plan Performance Measures and Awards
On September 3, 2024, the Board, upon recommendation of its Compensation Committee, established long term incentive plan performance measures for the three fiscal year period 2025 through 2027. The Board also approved target awards for the three year period for each of the Company's officers and non-employee directors. The fiscal 2025-2027 performance measures are based on a combination of sales growth targets compared to the industry and return on invested capital targets. No cash awards will be made to participants if actual Company performance does not exceed the minimum target performance measures. The payments after the end of fiscal year 2027 to the following executive officers for the three year performance period, if expected target performance measures are achieved, are as follows: Mr. Larsen - $400,000, Mr. Voorhees - $190,000 and Mr. Hochberg - $190,000. The payment after the end of fiscal year 2027 to each non-employee director of the Company for said three year period, if expected target performance measures are achieved, is $35,000. Actual cash payments to participants may range from $0 to 150% above target depending on the extent to which Company performance is less than or exceeds the expected target performance measures.
