Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On March 31, 2008, the Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors of Repros
Therapeutics Inc. (the Committee) approved a base salary increase effective retroactive to
January 1, 2008, of 20% for Joseph S. Podolski, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer
and Louis Ploth, Jr., the Companys Vice President, Business Development and Chief Financial
Officer. Mr. Podolski will now receive an annual salary of approximately $424,684 and Mr. Ploth
will receive an annual salary of approximately $268,966.
The Committee approved the following amounts as the cash bonuses for fiscal 2007 to be paid to
the following executive officers of the Company:
|
|
|
|
|
Joseph S. Podolski, President and Chief Executive Officer
|
|
$ |
18,579 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Louis Ploth, Jr., Vice President, Business Development and
Chief Financial Officer
|
|
$ |
44,827 |
|
In addition, the Committee has modified the method by which it evaluates the possible cash
bonuses and grant awards available to Messrs. Podolski and Ploth pursuant to their employment
contracts. The Committee meets with Messrs. Podolski and Ploth to establish suitable incentive
milestones for each of them according to the Companys needs and their particular job
responsibilities. In previous years, the Committee would then establish applicable value weights or
percentages for each particular milestone, which would be used for purposes of earning their bonus.
For calendar year 2008, the Committee will no longer assign specific value weights for each
milestone and may permit the milestone target to change mid-year. The Committee will determine
bonus payout based in part on the specific milestone objectives and in part on each executives
performance of management duties and leadership efforts. The Committee will review their goals and
objectives periodically during 2008 as needed to adjust and align incentives with changes to
corporate goals and strategies should such be necessary.
