Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

On November 9, 2017, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Mr. John Tyson, Chairman of the Board of Directors. This agreement replaces Mr. Tyson’s previous employment agreement dated May 1, 2014.

The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $1,050,000 and eligibility for participation in the Company’s annual performance incentive plan, as well as any benefit programs generally applicable to employees of the Company. In addition, Mr. Tyson is eligible to receive, on such dates specified by the Company consistent with the Company’s treatment of similarly-situated employees, performance and stock incentive awards under the Company’s incentive plans then in effect (if any), subject to the discretion of the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of our Board of Directors.

Mr. Tyson is also entitled to the use of certain Company-owned assets, including aircraft for up to 275 hours annually. Mr. Tyson is also entitled to personal security services provided by the Company, provided that such services do not exceed the value of $50,000 annually. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Mr. Tyson for the annual premium on a $7,500,000 life insurance policy. The Company will reimburse and gross-up any and all income tax liability of Mr. Tyson in connection with the use or acceptance of such Company-owned or -provided assets.

Mr. Tyson may terminate his employment under the agreement, subject to confidentiality and non-compete obligations contained therein, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors has the right to terminate the agreement at any time upon written notice to Mr. Tyson. Any such termination without cause is subject to the Company’s obligation to pay, in a lump sum, an amount equal to two years of his base salary and two times his target annual cash bonus, plus continued medical coverage for life. Such termination will also trigger vesting of stock options, restricted stock and performance stock awards earlier than stated in the applicable award agreements.

Upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the agreement), all previously granted restricted stock, performance stock and stock option awards will be treated in accordance with the applicable award agreement.

A copy of this agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.76 to this Form 10-K.
