Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Equity Incentive Grants
     In connection with its regularly scheduled meeting held on September 17, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (the “Company”) made its annual grant of equity incentive awards to officers and employees of the Company, including the following named executive officers: Peter Limeri, Bradley T. Roos and Larry Robinson. The grants to these officers consisted of shares of restricted stock and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.
     The shares of restricted stock were granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the form of Restricted Stock Agreement for Employees, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Certain of the shares of restricted stock are subject to time vesting requirements (the “Service-Based Shares”) and other shares of the restricted stock are subject to performance vesting requirements (the “Performance-Based Shares”). The Service-Based Shares will vest in three equal installments on each of September 17, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The Performance-Based Shares will vest in part if the Company exceeds a cumulative minimum Adjusted EBITDA threshold (the “Minimum Adjusted EBITDA”) established by the Committee for the three-year period ending December 31, 2011 (the “Measurement Period”) and will fully vest if the Company achieves a significantly higher cumulative Adjusted EBITDA objective for the Measurement Period established by the Committee (the “Target Adjusted EBITDA”). In the event the Company does not achieve the Target Adjusted EBITDA, the number of Performance-Based Shares that vest will be based on the amount by which the Company’s actual cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the Measurement Period exceeds the Minimum Adjusted EBITDA.
     Unvested shares of restricted stock (both Service-Based Shares and Performance-Based Shares) will terminate in the event the officer ceases to be employed by the Company. The restricted stock will become 100% vested upon a change of control.
     The options are not considered incentive stock options for tax purposes and were granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the form of Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement for Employees, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The options have an exercise price of $9.51 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 17, 2008, and will vest in three equal installments on each of September 17, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Unvested options will terminate in the event the officer ceases to be employed by the Company. The options will become 100% vested upon a change of control. The options expire on September 16, 2015.
     The numbers of shares of restricted stock and options granted to each of Messrs. Limeri, Roos and Robinson are as follows:
                         
    Shares of Restricted Stock   Non-
    Service-   Performance-   Qualified
    Based Shares   Based Shares   Options
Peter Limeri
    16,222       18,333       12,222  
Bradley T. Roos
    16,784       19,739       13,159  
Larry Robinson
    19,138       25,622       17,081  

 


 

Agreement with Larry Robinson
      In connection with the agreement by Larry Robinson, the Company’s Senior Vice President and President — Americas, to relocate to the United States from Canada for a three-year period, on September 17, 2008, the Committee agreed to provide certain additional compensation to Mr. Robinson, as follows:
    A housing allowance not to exceed $4,000 per month, plus utilities and renter’s insurance;
 
    A one-time relocation allowance in the net amount of $20,000;
 
    Reimbursement of premiums for medical insurance in an amount not to exceed $14,000 per year;
 
    An auto allowance not to exceed $750 per month;
 
    Reimbursement of applicable costs and fees related to all necessary work permits and visas; and
 
    Tax preparation assistance from a Company designated third party and, if Mr. Robinson’s tax liability is higher than it would have been if he had remained in Canada, a tax equalization payment equal to the difference.
     This additional compensation is payable to Mr. Robinson for the three-year period beginning August 1, 2008 and ending July 31, 2011.
