Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On February 10, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2015 long-term incentive awards for the Company’s named executive officers to be granted on February 20, 2015 with the following aggregate grant date award values: James Hallett, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board - $2,700,000; Eric Loughmiller, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer - $1,250,000; Rebecca Polak, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary - $400,000; and Thomas Caruso, Chief Client Officer - $212,500.
The aggregate target award value for each named executive officer is allocated such that 75% of the value is in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) and 25% of the value is in the form of time-vested restricted stock units (RSUs). The PRSUs may be earned (from 0% to 200% of the target award value) based on the Company’s cumulative adjusted net income per share performance during the three-year period ending December 31, 2017 and are on substantially the same terms utilized by the Company for a portion of its PRSUs awards in 2014. The RSUs generally vest and convert into shares of common stock of the Company on a 1-for-1 basis on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date during the named executive officer’s continued employment with the Company.
