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

 

On April 6, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Good Times Restaurants Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Ryan M. Zink as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Zink previously served as the Company’s Acting Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. As Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Zink will report exclusively to the Board.

 

Prior to assuming the role of Acting Chief Executive Officer in October 2020, Mr. Zink was serving as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since August 1, 2017. Prior to his appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, from March 2014 to July 2017, Ryan held positions with INVISTA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Industries Inc., most recently as Corporate Finance Director and formerly as Operations Controller.

 

In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Company has entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Zink.

 

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Zink will receive a minimum annual base salary of $250,000, which base salary may be increased, but not decreased, if the Company’s Board determines that such increase is appropriate based upon a performance review of Mr. Zink. Mr. Zink will also continue to be eligible for performance cash bonuses and equity awards during each year of his employment in amounts determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Zink will continue to receive an annual discretionary allowance of $15,000 and other benefits generally provided to the Company’s other executive officers under the Company’s welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs. The agreement provides for certain severance benefits in connection with a termination of employment.

 

Notwithstanding the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Zink has voluntarily agreed to a temporary 30% reduction in his base salary in connection with the COVID 19 outbreak. The Company’s other executive officers, Scott G. LeFever (VP of Operations) and Susan M. Knutson (Controller and Corporate Secretary), along with the Company’s other senior staff, are similarly taking temporary reductions of up to 20% in their base salaries.

 

The above description of Mr. Zink’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of Mr. Zink’s Amended and Restated employment agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.
