Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 26, 2022, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors adopted the Executive Officer Bonus Program (the “2023 Plan”) for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. The 2023 Plan provides for Base Salary, Cash Bonus and Base Equity awards for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer as follows:
Position | Base Salary | Target Bonus * | Base Equity (shares of common stock) ** |
CEO | $300,000 | 100% | 306,240 |
CFO | $230,000 | 100% | 222,720 |
COO | $230,000 | 100% | 167,040 |
* Bonus will be based upon satisfaction of actual realized amounts of Total Revenues and Net Loss relative to budgeted amounts.
** 50% vested on the date of grant and 50% upon attainment of certain milestones, provided the awardee is still employed by the Company on the date of vesting.
The Compensation Committee has established revenue growth as the primary bonus metric, with net loss a secondary metric. Bonuses will paid quarterly based on financial results for each respective quarter, with a cumulative adjustment at year end and claw-back rights. For the first three quarters, the bonus will be calculated in a two-step manner, as follows: First, the base bonus will be determined by comparing the actual gross revenues for the quarter to the Company’s budgeted gross revenues, and then determining the percentage realized based on the actual revenue versus the budgeted revenue. Second, the actual net loss ratio for the quarter would be compared to the Company’s budgeted net loss ratio to determine a bonus adjustment percentage that would be applied against the base bonus amount to determine the final bonus amount for the quarter. For the fourth quarter, a year-to-date cumulative calculation would be completed to determine the final total bonus for the year.
An executive may elect to receive all or a portion of their bonus in shares of restricted stock of the Company instead of cash payment, for quarters 2-4. In such case, the number of shares shall be determined by doubling the cash bonus and then dividing that value by the Company’s closing stock price on the day the bonus is earned, which would be the last day of the quarter. The executive would have until the 15th day of the next month following when the bonus is earned to determine if they want to receive any or all of the earned bonus in stock or cash.
