Item 2.02 Results of
Operations and Financial Conditions
On February 14, 2011, Advanced
Energy Industries, Inc. (the “
Company
”) announced via press
release its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010 and full year
ended December 31, 2010. A copy of the press release is furnished with
this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 5.02 Departure of
Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 15, 2011, the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved
amendments to the Company’s Leadership Corporate Incentive Plan
(“
Leadership Plan
”) for cash bonuses payable in respect of
2011 and later. As previously disclosed, the Company maintains two cash bonus
plans: the Leadership Plan and the Employee Corporate Incentive Plan
(“
Employee Plan
”). The Leadership Plan provides the
Company’s executive officers and other key leaders with the opportunity
to earn cash bonuses based on achievement of corporate performance metrics and
individual performance objectives. Participants in the Leadership Plan do not
participate in the Employee Plan. As amended, the Leadership Plan provides
that, following the end of each fiscal year, the Company will fund a joint
bonus pool for awards under the Leadership Plan and the Employee Plan, only if
(a) the Company’s total revenue for the year equals or exceeds the
total revenue set forth in the Company’s annual operating plan approved
by the Board of Directors, and (b) the Company’s operating income
for the year exceeds 10% of the Company’s total revenue. Achievement of
both of these corporate performance metrics is required in order to fund the
bonus pool for the Leadership Plan, and achievement of the operating income
target only is required to fund the Employee Plan. The amount of the bonus pool
for both plans, if a bonus pool is funded, will be equal to 10% of the
Company’s operating income for the year.
If the bonus pool is funded, any
individual bonus payable to an executive officer under the Leadership Plan will
be based upon such executive officer’s (a) pre-established target
bonus, (b) annual performance review and (c) achievement of
individual performance objectives, subject to consideration of the total size
of the bonus pool and the limitation that no participant may receive a bonus
greater than 150% of his or her pre-established target bonus.
The pre-established target bonuses for
the Company’s executive officers under the Leadership Plan are as follows:
|
•
|
|
Hans Georg Betz, Chief Executive Officer — 100% of base salary
|
|
•
|
|
Yuval Wasserman, President and Chief Operating Officer / General Manager
of Thin Films — 70% of base salary
|
|
•
|
|
Danny Herron, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
— 60% of base salary
|
|
•
|
|
Gregg Patterson, Executive Vice President and General Manager Renewables
— 60% of base salary
|
Individual performance objectives for
the executive officers for 2011 will be established by the Compensation
Committee, in the case of the executive officers other than the chief executive
officer, and by the Board of Directors, in the case of the chief executive
officer. The Board of Directors maintains the discretion to evaluate each
executive officer’s performance against his individual performance
objectives and determine the relative weight of such objectives.
