Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In light of the disruption and uncertainty created by the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and its anticipated impact on the Company’s operations, on April 13, 2020, the Company announced that each of the members of the Company’s senior management team, including each of the Company’s named executive officers, will be taking a temporary reduction in base salary for 90 days. Specifically, Mr. Casey will forego all but that portion of his base salary necessary to fund, on an after-tax basis, his contributions to continue to participate in the Company’s health benefits plan and meet certain other legal requirements. Messrs. Gomez, Ebling, Newell and Petersohn will forego 25% of base salary for the same 90-day period. These reductions in pay will be effective in April 2020 and are generally not intended to reduce any other benefits determined by reference to base salary, except as required by law or the terms of applicable plans.
The Company has also implemented a 25% wage reduction plan for all salaried employees of the Company who are above a certain specified salary level, including members of management, where allowed by law. In addition, each member of the Board of Directors has agreed to waive one quarter of his or her annual cash retainer for 2020.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On April 13, 2020, as a result of the near-term impact on the business and uncertainty around the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is withdrawing its previously announced 2020 guidance. The Company anticipates providing a further business update on its next earnings call in May.
