Appointment of Officer
On August 28, 2015, our board of directors appointed Kathleen S. Skarvan, our current Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors, to the additional position of President. Ms. Skarvan’s compensation and other arrangements with the company were not modified in connection with this change.
Ms. Skarvan, age 59, originally joined Electromed in December 2012 as Chief Executive Officer, and became a director in November 2013. Ms. Skarvan served as Vice President of Operations at OEM Fabricators from November 2011 until October 2012. Prior to her position with OEM Fabricators, Ms. Skarvan served in various roles at Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, most recently as the President of the Disk Drive Components Division from April 2007 until March 2011. As President of the Disk Drive Components Division, Ms. Skarvan managed a public company division with annual revenues in excess of $300 million. Ms. Skarvan also served as a Senior Vice President of Hutchinson Technology Incorporated from December 2010 to March 2011, and as Vice President of Sales & Marketing of the Disk Drive Components Division from October 2003 until April 2007.
Compensatory Arrangements
On August 28, 2015, the compensation committee of our board of directors established the Fiscal Year 2016 Officer Bonus Plan (the “Officer Bonus Plan”) for officers of our company, including our current named executive officers. On September 3, 2015, the compensation committee further approved an increase in the target bonus amount for our President and Chief Executive Officer to equal 50% of her annual base salary, which is reflected in the following description of the Officer Bonus Plan.
The Officer Bonus Plan is effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 and provides an opportunity for each participant to earn an annual cash bonus, 50% of which will be based on the achievement of target earnings before taxes and 50% of which will be based on two strategic initiatives supporting long-term growth and profitability. If minimum earnings before taxes are achieved, then Ms. Skarvan and Mr. Brock would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 12.50% and 7.50%, respectively, of their annual base salary. If target earnings before taxes are achieved, then Ms. Skarvan and Mr. Brock would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 25.00% and 15.00%, respectively, of their annual base salary. Thirty percent of any earnings before taxes exceeding the target will be allocated to a bonus pool for all bonus-eligible employees and allocated among the bonus-eligible employees pro rata based on his or her targeted bonus payout. Depending on achievement of the strategic initiatives, each of the named executive officers would be eligible to receive an additional bonus amount equal to between 6.25% and 37.50% of annual base salary with respect to Ms. Skarvan and between 3.75% and 22.50% of annual base salary with respect to Mr. Brock.
