Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer $1,575,000
Mark Casey, EVP and Chief Legal Officer $900,000
Hugh O’Neill, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer $930,000
Bryan Reasons, EVP and Chief Financial Officer $900,000
Steven Romano, M.D., EVP and Chief Scientific Officer $930,000

The awards for all named executive officers except for Mr. Trudeau were approved by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “HRCC”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, and the full Board approved the award for Mr. Trudeau.

The foregoing awards under the 2020/2021 ERBP were paid to the named executive officers on September 3, 2020 and are subject to the executive’s obligation to repay the net after-tax bonus in the event that he resigns, retires, voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated by the Company for cause prior to the earlier of (x) May 15, 2022, and (y) if the Company files for bankruptcy protection, the date the Company emerges from such bankruptcy proceedings. The executive’s net after-tax repayment amount will be determined based on the highest applicable federal, state and local taxes applicable to individuals in the location that executive lives for the year that repayment is to be made.
