CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION PLAN
This compensation plan is provided pursuant to Section 3.2 of that certain Executive Employment
Agreement (“Employment Agreement”) between Dlorah, Inc., a South Dakota corporation (the “Company”)
and a wholly owned subsidiary of National American University Holdings, Inc. (“NAUH”), and Dr.
Xxxxxx Xxxxx (“Executive”), dated effective as of June 1, 2010.
Component 1: BASE SALARY
Commencing on June 1, 2011, the Executive’s base salary shall be increased to $427,500.00.
Component 2: QUARTERLY ACHIEVEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The second component of the compensation plan will be based on achievement of specific quarterly
organizational objectives (the “Additional Quarterly Compensation”). The Additional Quarterly
Compensation will be based on NAUH quarterly pre-tax profit margin and objectives related to
institutional effectiveness. The amount of the Additional Quarterly Compensation will be
calculated quarterly by taking the appropriate percentage multiplied by the Executive’s current
annual base salary. The Executive will receive a percentage of his annual base salary each quarter
based on achieving the objectives listed below. The two objectives and percentages are listed
below.
Quarterly | Percentage of | |||||
Objective | Annual Base Salary | Description | ||||
1 | 8.75% per quarter | For achieving the approved budgeted NAUH
pre-tax profit margin for the quarter. |
||||
2 | 8.75% per quarter | For achieving predetermined NAUH
quarterly objectives related to
institutional effectiveness. |
Objective 1: successfully achieving the approved NAUH budgeted pre-tax profit margin per
quarter as determined and approved by the Board prior to June 1st.
Objective 2: successfully achieving the predetermined quarterly organizational objectives
related to institutional effectiveness. These objectives will be determined prior to June
1st and published for each Cabinet Level Officer to review.
The Additional Quarterly Compensation is based on achieving the organizational objectives for the
prior quarter. Additional Quarterly Compensation, if any, will be determined quarterly and paid
semi-monthly on the Company’s regular payroll schedule in five (5) equal payroll installments
beginning after the financial statements for the prior quarter have been finalized.
The Board of Directors will be solely responsible for determining whether the objectives for the
Additional Quarterly Compensation are satisfied and the amount of any Additional Quarterly
Compensation.
Component 3: ANNUAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The final component of the compensation plan will be based on NAUH’s Earnings Before Interest and
Taxes (“EBIT”). To the extent that XXXX’s actual EBIT for the fiscal year exceeds XXXX’s budgeted
EBIT for the fiscal year, twenty percent (20%)
of the excess would be designated for an “Annual Achievement Award.” The total Annual Achievement
Award would then be distributed to Cabinet Level Officers, with Executive receiving 25% of the
total. The Executive will be subject to a maximum of 80% of his annual base salary with respect to
the Annual Achievement Award.
Calculations will be based on the annual budget for NAUH, as approved by the Board prior to June
1st, and the final audited financial statements prepared for the fiscal year ending May
31st. The Annual Achievement Award will be paid in six (6) equal payroll installments
beginning September 1st of each year (1st payment will be September
7th).
The Board of Directors will be solely responsible for determining whether the objectives for the
Annual Achievement Award are satisfied and the amount of any Annual Achievement Award.
