On June 29, 2018, William H. Savage (Mr. Savage), who currently serves as the Executive Vice President, Global Supply Chain of Pier 1 Imports, Inc. (the Company), was granted a performance-based restricted stock award (the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award). The grant of the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award was made under the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the 2015 Plan) and is evidenced by the Restricted Stock Award Agreement Performance-Based Award (the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award Agreement) filed as Exhibit 10.25.2 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 2, 2019. Vesting of the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award is based upon the level of performance with respect to a targeted percentage of Sourcing Expense Savings (as defined in the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award Agreement) achieved during the Companys fiscal year ending February 27, 2021 (Fiscal 2021) as compared to Sourcing Expense (as defined in the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award Agreement) in the Companys fiscal year ended March 3, 2018 (Fiscal 2018).
Recognizing that a significant reduction in Sourcing Expense has been achieved since the inception of the sourcing team and key performance indicators established by Mr. Savage in March 2018 but that the incentive provided by the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award for the work being performed by Mr. Savage has lost significant value since the grant date of the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award due to the reduction in the market price of the underlying shares of the Companys Common Stock, by unanimous written consent effective July 15, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee) granted a supplemental cash-based incentive award to Mr. Savage (the Supplemental Cash Incentive Award) with a $300,000 target payment and a $600,000 maximum payment, pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Award Agreement July 15, 2019 Performance-Based Cash Award (the Supplemental Cash Incentive Award Agreement), the form of which is included with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1. The performance metrics and payout curve mirror those of the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award with the measurement date for each being February 27, 2021 (the Measurement Date). The Compensation Committee determined that $150,000 of the target payment was to be paid on or before August 15, 2019 (the Immediate Payment), subject to repayment of the Immediate Payment by Mr. Savage to the Company or one of its affiliates (where relevant, Pier 1 Imports, Inc. and its affiliates are referred to collectively as the Company) if his employment with the Company is terminated for cause or by Mr. Savage without good reason (as such terms are defined in the Supplemental Cash Incentive Award Agreement), within 12 months of the July 15, 2019 grant date of the Supplemental Cash Incentive Award. After the Measurement Date, the payout with respect to the Supplemental Cash Incentive Award will be calculated and paid based on the level of performance achieved relative to the performance metrics, minus the Immediate Payment.
The value of the Supplemental Cash Incentive Award plus the value of the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award (which Award will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms) as of July 2, 2019, approximates the value of the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award at the time of grant of the June 2018 Performance-Based Share Award.
By unanimous written consent effective July 15, 2019, the Compensation Committee also determined to increase Mr. Savages base salary, effective August 11, 2019, from $450,000 to $500,000.
The Companys Board of Directors has changed Mr. Savages position/office with the Company from Executive Vice President, Global Supply Chain of the Company to Executive Vice President, Chief Supply Chain Officer of the Company, effective August 11, 2019, to more accurately reflect the scope of his responsibilities with respect to the enterprise sourcing and supply functions for the Company.
