Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information set forth under Item 5.02 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed, effective September 14, 2015, Apartment Investment and Management Company (“Aimco”) promoted Paul Beldin to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Also as previously disclosed, effective September 23, 2015, Aimco promoted Charles A. (“Andrew”) Higdon to Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer.
Aimco has agreed to pay Mr. Beldin a base salary of $350,000 per year. Going forward, Mr. Beldin’s target short-term incentive is $300,000, payable in cash. Mr. Beldin’s target long-term incentive, expected to be granted in early 2016, is $500,000, payable consistently with Aimco compensation policies in restricted stock and/or stock options vesting over a period of years, with such mix determined in Aimco’s discretion and with the largest portion subject to performance hurdles. Mr. Beldin’s 2015 target compensation will be prorated based on the portion of the year for which he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer and the portion for which he serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Both Aimco’s performance and Mr. Beldin’s individual performance will determine the amount paid for 2015 short-term incentive compensation, and such amount may be less than or in excess of this target amount.
Aimco has agreed to pay Mr. Higdon a base salary of $200,000 per year. Going forward, Mr. Higdon’s target short-term incentive is $115,000, payable in cash. Mr. Higdon’s target long-term incentive, expected to be granted in early 2016, is $85,000, payable consistently with Aimco compensation policies in restricted stock, stock options or deferred cash to vest over a period of years, with such mix determined in Aimco’s discretion. Mr. Higdon’s 2015 compensation will be prorated based on the portion of the year for which he served as Vice President and Corporate Controller and the portion for which he serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. Both Aimco’s performance and Mr. Higdon’s individual performance will determine the amount paid for 2015 short-term incentive compensation, and such amount may be less than or in excess of this target amount.
