Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On February 23, 2022, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Repay Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) approved the program terms and performance objectives for annual cash bonuses for the Company’s executive officers under each of their respective employment agreements (the “AIP”). Executive officers will participate in the AIP at the individual target levels in accordance with their employment agreements.  In connection with such AIP approval, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in the individual target level for John A. Morris, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, from 50% to 100% of base salary.  On March 1, 2022, the Company (through its applicable subsidiary) and Mr. Morris entered into an amendment to his employment agreement to reflect such increase.  A copy of the amendment is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The individual target levels for the other executives range from 50% to 75% of base salary.  

 

For the performance period of January 1 to December 31, 2022 under the AIP, the Compensation Committee established that 75% of the annual bonus amounts would be based upon the achievement of performance goals tied to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, with the remaining 25% of the annual bonus amounts based on the achievement of individual performance goals. If performance of any measure does not meet the applicable minimum threshold for that measure, no award will be earned for that measure. If the performance of a measure reaches the applicable minimum threshold, the award earned for that measure will be 50% of the target bonus amount. If the performance of any measure reaches the applicable targeted performance goal, the award earned for that measure will be 100% of the target bonus amount. If the performance of any measure reaches or exceeds the applicable maximum performance goal, the award earned for that measure will be 200% of the target bonus amount. The actual bonus amount earned for results between these percentages will be calculated using straight-line interpolation.

 

On February 23, 2022, the Compensation Committee also approved the grant of certain equity awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other employees, pursuant to the Repay Holdings Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan. The awards granted to executive officers consisted of 50% time-based restricted stock (“RSAs”) and 50% performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), in each case subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date. The RSAs are scheduled to vest in four equal annual installments commencing February 23, 2023. The PSUs will vest, if at all, at the end of a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024, based upon relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the Russell 2000 Index. If the Company’s relative TSR performance is below the 25% percentile, the award will be forfeited. If the Company’s relative TSR performance is at the 25% percentile, then 50% of the targeted award will be earned. If the Company’s relative TSR performance is at the 50% percentile, then 100% of the targeted award will be earned. If the Company’s relative TSR performance is at or above the 75% percentile, then 200% of the targeted award will be earned. The actual award earned for results between these percentiles will be calculated using straight-line interpolation. Vested PSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
