Previously, for the month of April 2020, the Board approved a 90% reduction in base salary for the President and Chief Executive Officer and a 75% reduction in the base salaries for each of the Company’s other named executive officers. The Board also agreed to a 50% reduction to the Board and independent Chairman retainer fees for the first and second quarters of 2020 to support the Company’s cost reduction initiatives. The Company has implemented other cost reduction actions across the enterprise in response to customer shut-downs, changes in demand and other government-imposed restrictions on operations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
