The Board also instituted an incentive package for the outgoing CEO to ensure she stayed through closure of the programs and through hiring and onboarding a new CEO. The Board mandated that the bonuses be calculated using pre-established percentages of individuals prevailing salaries if they were still employed in good standing on the specific dates identified in the Board mandates.
