On November 29, 2018, the Board of Directors (the
Board) of Titan Energy, LLC (the Company) approved the adoption of two management incentive compensation plans: the Key Executive Incentive Plan and the Refinancing Incentive Plan (collectively, the Incentive
Plans). The Incentive Plans are designed to ensure continued engagement for certain of the Companys executive officers as it continues to restructure its balance sheet in light of its ongoing liquidity concerns.
The Key Executive Incentive Plan provides for the potential payment of cash-based incentive compensation to Jeffrey Slotterback, the
Companys Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Christopher Walker, the Companys Chief Operating Officer (collectively, the Key Executives). Pursuant to the Key Executive Incentive Plan, the Board
(i) established written corporate performance metrics relating to proceeds from asset sales and reductions of general and administrative expenses (the performance metrics); (ii) established target awards for the Key Executives, the
payment of which are contingent on achievement of the performance metrics through January 31, 2019; and (iii) prescribed a formula for determining the percentage of such target awards that may be payable based upon the level of attainment
of the performance metrics through January 31, 2019. The target awards are equal to 125% of the executives base salary. The executives will be eligible to receive cash bonuses under the Key Executive Incentive Plan ranging from 50% to
200% of the target awards, based on the levels achieved under the performance metrics.
The Refinancing Incentive Plan provides for the
payment of cash-based incentive compensation to Mr. Slotterback. Pursuant to the Refinancing Incentive Plan, the Board (i) established written performance metrics relating to refinancing the Companys outstanding indebtedness under
its first lien term loan facility and reducing, or eliminating, the indebtedness outstanding under its second lien term loan facility (the refinancing metrics); (ii) established a target award for Mr. Slotterback, the payment of
which is contingent on achievement of the refinancing metrics through April 30, 2019; and (iii) prescribed a formula for determining the percentage of such target award that may be payable based upon the level of attainment of the
refinancing metrics through April 30, 2019. Mr. Slotterback will be eligible to receive a cash bonus under the Refinancing Incentive Plan ranging from 100% to 200% of his base salary, based on certain milestones achieved under the
refinancing metrics.
