Amendment to Charles Horsey Employment Agreement

 

On May 12, 2010, ‘mktg, inc.’ (the “Company”) and Charles Horsey entered into an amendment to Mr. Horsey’s employment agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, among other things,

 

	●	Mr. Horsey now serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in addition to its President.
	●	Mr. Horsey’s base salary has been increased from $330,000 per annum to $349,800 per annum, and will be subject to additional increases of three percent each year beginning April 1, 2011. Notwithstanding the amendment, Mr. Horsey has elected to temporarily forego the salary increase and will continue to be paid a base salary of $330,000 until he decides otherwise.
	●	Mr. Horsey’s target bonus has increased from 40% of his base salary to 50% of his base salary. Such bonus is contingent on achieving EBITDA targets approved of by the Company’s Board of Directors.
	●	The term of Mr. Horsey’s employment has been extended to April 1, 2014.
	●	In the event of the termination of his employment by the Company other than for “Cause” or by Mr. Horsey for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Horsey will be entitled to severance payments equal 12- months of his then base salary, plus $100,000.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the amendment, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amendment, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Adoption of Management Bonus Plan

 

On May 12, 2010, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Management Bonus Plan. Pursuant to the Management Bonus Plan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other employees of the Company selected by him will be eligible to be paid annual cash bonuses from a bonus pool. The bonus pool will only be funded to the extent specified EBITDA thresholds approved of by the Company’s Board of Directors are achieved, and the actual amount of the bonus pool in each year (if any) will be determined by the amount by which such thresholds are exceeded.

 

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Management Bonus Plan, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Management Bonus Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
