On December 11, 2020 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Matrix Service Company (“the Company”) took the following actions:
(b) Effective December 31, 2020, Jason W. Turner, President – Matrix North American Construction, Inc. (“Matrix NAC”), a subsidiary of the Company, will no longer be employed by Matrix NAC. In accordance with his 2017 Amended and Restated Severance Agreement, Mr. Turner will receive cash severance, which represents one year of base salary and the average of his short-term incentive bonus over the previous three years. All unvested restricted stock units and performance share units were forfeited. Mr. Alan R. Updyke, in addition to his current role as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, will serve as Interim President – Matrix NAC.

The Company also instituted a reduction in base pay of 10% for all other executive officers of the Company. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company are taking a voluntary temporary reduction of 10% of their cash retainer fees effective January 1, 2021.
