Item 5.02. |
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On April 25, 2024, by written consent to action, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) implemented a 2024 incentive program for its executives (the “2024 EIP”). Bill Bennett, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Brady Smallwood, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), and Gary Schubert, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) are eligible to participate in the 2024 EIP.
The target incentives for the CEO, COO, and CFO are $231,750, $82,400, and $60,000, respectively, and each incentive is based seventy percent (70%) on the attainment of Adjusted EBITDA and thirty percent (30%) on the attainment of Professional Chef Revenue. For the purposes of the EIP, Adjusted EBITDA refers to the Company’s Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization adjusted by adding back executive incentive payout and growth-related expenses and other non-recurring expenses consistent with Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) reported to investors; examples of non-recurring expenses include, but are not limited to, organizational restructuring, legal fees, lawsuit settlements, capital restructuring, and discontinued operations. Additionally, Professional Chef Revenue refers to the Company’s total revenue less e-commerce, warehouse, and logistics services revenues. The Compensation Committee of the Board has discretion to adjust in good faith the EIP’s thresholds, targets, and maximums, as well as the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Professional Chef Revenue in the event of mergers, acquisitions, or extraordinary events.
