30 Dec 2005material agreement● Neutral
On December 29, 2005 ATP signed employment contracts with 12 officers, including Chairman and President T. Paul Bulmahn, CFO Albert Reese Jr. and Senior VP Gerald Schlief. Pay stays at current base salary, and the contracts run to November 30, 2008 with automatic one-year extensions. If an officer is fired without cause or leaves for good reason, they get salary through the contract term plus a pro rata bonus, immediate vesting of restricted stock and one year of benefits. After a change in control, most get 1.5 times salary, Bulmahn gets 2.99 times salary and three years of benefits, and ATP also covers excise taxes under section 4999 on these payments. These are costs to shareholders in a takeover or dismissal, and they sit alongside the October 2005 rights plan.
