Second Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan
On August 15, 2017, Marten Transport, Ltd.’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved and adopted the Second Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan effective January 1, 2017. The Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan previously provided for the establishment of a bonus pool for executive officers if the net income in the award year was 110% or more of the net income in the prior year. The Second Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan leaves the terms of the original plan unchanged, except that the bonus pool will be established based upon the percentage change in net income being at least 105% of an established net income goal, which for 2017 is the prior year’s net income. In addition, to the extent the percentage change in net income in the award year equals or exceeds 105% of the established net income goal, the size of the bonus pool will be determined by a multiplier related to the amount of such increase that results in the aggregate available bonus pool being between 5% and 100% of the aggregate base salary for executive officers.
The foregoing description of the Second Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Executive Officer Performance Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1.
