Item 5.02(e)                               Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

On March 17, 2009, the registrant’s Board of Directors approved grants of restricted stock and stock options under the registrant’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, to certain of the registrant’s named executive officers as follows:

 

·                                          George L. Duncan, Chairman – 40,000 shares of restricted stock;

 

·                                          James A. Marcotte, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer – 5,000 shares of restricted stock and 2,000 shares subject to a nonqualified stock option; and

 

·                                          Robert R. Gilman, Executive Vice President of Administration – 2,000 shares of restricted stock and 2,000 shares subject to a nonqualified stock option.

 

The foregoing grants were part of a total of 83,200 shares of restricted stock and 51,050 shares subject to nonqualified options, which were granted to the registrant’s officers and employees as a group.  All options were granted at an exercise price of $8.75 per share, which reflected the current market price of the registrant’s common stock on the date of grant.  Copies of the forms of the nonqualified stock option agreement and/or the restricted stock agreement entered into by the registrant with each of Messrs. Duncan, Marcotte and Gilman are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this report.  Each of the executives entered into the same form of agreement, except that in the case of Mr. Duncan his shares of restricted stock vest 50% per year over a two-year period, rather than 25% per year over a four-year period, and in the case of Mr. Gilman his stock options are fully vested on the date of grant, since he has already reached the age of 62, rather than vesting 25% per year over a four-year period.
