Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On December 1, 2016, the compensation committee of the board of directors
(the Board) of Empire Resorts, Inc. (the Company) adopted the Empire Resorts Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) which Plan is effective on January 1, 2017. The Plan is a nonqualified deferred
compensation plan under which eligible participants may elect to defer the receipt of current compensation. Eligible participants include select employees of the Company, including its executive officers. Pursuant to the Plan and subject to
applicable tax laws, participants may elect to defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 100% of any cash bonus. In addition to elective deferrals, the Plan permits the Company to make discretionary contributions. Participants may elect to
receive payment of their vested account balances in a single cash payment or in annual installments for a period of five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15) years. Payments will be made or commence upon the earliest of a participants separation
from service, death or disability. If a participant so elects, payments will be deferred until a fixed and determinable date. Compensation deferred under the Plan represents an unsecured obligation of the Company.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed as
Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
