Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 15, 2009, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of
Directors of Navarre Corporation (the "Company") approved the Fiscal Year 2010
Annual Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to
this report and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The Plan
establishes criteria to be met in order for cash bonuses to be paid to the
Company's executive officers and other management employees. Bonuses may be
earned based on the achievement of certain Company financial objectives and
individual goals during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. The Committee
selected the following financial objectives for fiscal year 2010: target
consolidated EBITDA and, for subsidiary participants, a subsidiary specific
EBITDA target. Other than discretionary awards as discussed below, no bonuses
are earned if funding any portion of the incentive pool will cause the Company
to fail to achieve the consolidated EBITDA target. Additionally, in order for
subsidiary participants to earn a bonus, the applicable subsidiary must attain
80% of the specific subsidiary EBITDA target. If consolidated EBITDA exceeds the
target, the incentive pool will be increased by 25% of the excess amount, and
participants will share in the enhanced incentive pool on a pro-rata basis.
However, bonus payments under the Plan are capped at 150% of the participant's
target bonus. The Committee believes the financial objectives are challenging
but obtainable.
The Committee approved the following target bonus opportunities for our
executive officers: Cary L. Deacon - 80% of base salary; J. Reid Porter - 55% of
base salary; and each of Gen Fukunaga, Joyce Fleck and Calvin Morrell - 50% of
base salary.
The Committee also approved a maximum discretionary pool of $500,000. The
Committee may determine, in its discretion, to reward participants with
exemplary performance during the fiscal year out of the discretionary pool
whether or not financial objectives are achieved.
