ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On April 29, 2005, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of EGL, Inc. (the "Company") approved the following bonuses for 2004 and base salaries for 2005 for the Company’s executive officers:
Executive Officer | 2004 Bonus | 2005 Salary |
James R. Crane Chairman and Chief Executive Officer | $125,000 | $521,066 |
Elijio V. Serrano Chief Financial Officer and Director | $128,370 | $300,000 |
E. Joseph Bento President of North America and Chief Marketing Officer | $150,563 | $300,000 |
Ronald E. Talley Chief Operating Officer | $146,266 | $300,000 |
Vittorio Favati Executive VP – Asia Pacific | (1) | $300,000 |
(1)
Mr. Favati was not an executive officer during 2004.
Also on April 25, 2005, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2005 Incentive Bonus Plan for Executive Management Employees (the “Cash Bonus Plan”). The Cash Bonus Plan is an annual plan, which is calculated on a year-to-date basis and paid quarterly. Under the Cash Bonus Plan, the Company’s executive officers are eligible for incentive bonus based on three criteria: (1) the Company’s financial performance, (2) the target incentive bonus authorized by the Cash Bonus Plan, and (3) the employee’s personal performance against established goals.
Executives are eligible for a target incentive bonus amount equal to up to 100% of base salary. The actual amount of the target incentive bonus will be based on the achievement of pre-established diluted earnings per share targets. Under the Cash Bonus Plan, executives will establish at least three annual goals in conjunction with the CEO and the Board of Directors. Progress and achievement of quarterly milestones associated with the annual completion of these goals will be a key factor in determining incentive bonus.
Under the Cash Bonus Plan, each quarter the Company’s year-to-date financial results will be reviewed against the diluted earnings per share targets. Based on the targets, the applicable overall percentage of bonus will be applied against four factors; (1) the eligible employee’s year-to-date base pay, (2) the target incentive bonus amount, (3) the average percentage of quarterly milestone achievement year-to-date, and (4) the amount of incentive bonus paid year-to-date through this plan.
