Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
A. Adoption of the June 2005-2006 Long-Term Executive Cash Incentive Award Program
On May 31, 2005 the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors adopted the Ingram Micro Inc. June 2005-2006 Long-Term Executive Cash Incentive Award Program (the June 2005-2006 LTIP Program), effective as of June 1, 2005, pursuant to the Ingram Micro Inc. Executive Incentive Plan. Payments under the June 2005-2006 LTIP Program will be based on the Companys performance relative to pre-established objective performance measures over a period ending December 30, 2006. Minimum performance standards were established below which no payments will be made. The Human Resources Committee also established the eligibility criteria for executive officers and other key management personnel who are designated to participate in the June 2005-2006 LTIP Program.
B. Amendment to Non-Executive Chairman Employment Agreement
As previously disclosed in the Companys Form 8-K dated April 7, 2005 (the April 7th Form 8-K), effective June 1, 2005, Kent B. Foster has retired as chief executive officer and is continuing service to the Company as the non-executive chairman of the board of directors. The Company has entered into a new employment agreement (the Agreement) with Mr. Foster to compensate him in his capacity as the non-executive chairman for a period of two years from June 1, 2005, the terms of which are substantially as disclosed in the April 7th Form 8-K except as otherwise herein described. A copy of the Agreement is also filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is herein incorporated by reference.
Under the Agreement, all stock options previously awarded to Mr. Foster will continue to vest according to their original terms during the time he continues to serve on the Board of Directors, and be exercisable until the earlier of: (i) the expiration date of such options or (ii) the fifth anniversary of the date Mr. Foster ceases to perform services for the Company. Mr. Foster is also eligible to receive payments, if and when paid to other participants, as if he were a participant, under the June 2005-2006 LTIP, whether or not Mr. Foster completes his term as non-executive chairman under the Agreement.
Mr. Foster will also receive a $6 million cash retention bonus at the end of the two year term of the Agreement if he remains as the non-executive chairman throughout the term. If the Company chooses to terminate such Agreement prior to the end of the term other than for cause, Mr. Foster will be entitled to receive in cash: (i) the full amount of the retention bonus, (ii) all accrued and unpaid directors compensation and annual chairmans fee to which he is entitled and (iii) all remaining amount of such annual chairmans fee to which he would have been
entitled if he had served through the term of the Agreement. If the Company terminates the Agreement for cause, Mr. Foster will be entitled to receive in cash all accrued and unpaid directors compensation and annual chairmans fee. If Mr. Foster voluntarily retires before the end of the term and ceases to be the non-executive chairman, he will receive: (i) all accrued and unpaid directors compensation and annual chairmans fees and (ii) a pro-rated portion of the retention bonus. If Mr. Foster dies or becomes disabled before the end of the term, he will receive: (i) all accrued and unpaid directors compensation and annual chairmans fee and (ii) the full amount of the retention bonus.
