Item
5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Pursuant to Item 5.02(e) of
Form 8-K, United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”) is filing this
Form 8-K to report the amount of bonuses paid to its named executive officers
in 2015 with respect to 2014 performance.
Officers are not entitled to
any bonus unless and until paid.
U.S. Cellular is filing this
Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the amounts of bonuses paid to its named
executive officers in 2015 with respect to 2014 performance. Pursuant to
Instruction 4 of Item 5.02, the below persons include the persons who were
identified as named executive officers in U.S. Cellular’s most recent proxy
statement filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2014,
and who will continue to be named executive officers in the 2015 proxy
statement.
Pursuant to the foregoing, the
following amounts of bonuses were paid on March 12, 2015 relating to 2014
performance to the below persons:
|
|
|
Kenneth R.
Meyers
|
|
Steven T.
Campbell
|
|
Jay M.
Ellison
|
|
Michael S.
Irizarry
|
|
Bonus Paid in 2015 for 2014 Performance
|
|
$743,000
|
|
$333,000
|
|
$411,000
|
|
$332,000
|
The above shows the entire
amount of the bonus paid, whether or not some or all of such bonus has been
deferred and whether or not some portion of such amount will be reported as
non-equity incentive plan compensation in the 2014 proxy statement.
U.S. Cellular established
guidelines and procedures for awarding bonuses to the President and CEO,
Kenneth R. Meyers. These guidelines and procedures were filed by U.S. Cellular
as Exhibit 10.2 to U.S. Cellular's Form 8-K dated August 19, 2014. Mr. Meyers’
informal target bonus was 80% of his base salary or $692,240. The Chairman
approved a bonus to Mr. Meyers of $743,000 with respect to 2014 performance.
This was approximately 107% of the informal target bonus amount reflecting U.S.
Cellular's overall company performance of 89.4% and the Chairman's subjective
views regarding Mr. Meyers’ contributions to such performance and achievements
in 2014.
The above bonus payments to the
other named executive officers were made pursuant to the U.S. Cellular 2014
Officer Annual Incentive Plan. A copy of this plan was filed with the SEC as
Exhibit 10.1 to U.S. Cellular’s Form 8-K dated August 19, 2014. Kenneth R.
Meyers does not participate in this plan. The bonus payments to the other
officers under this plan reflect U.S. Cellular’s company performance in 2014 of
89.4%, and individual performance and other factors, as set forth in this plan.
