| (1) | Restricted stock awards are calculated based upon a cash bonus pool, which is itself based upon annual profit. The number of shares of restricted stock awarded in a given year is equal to the number of shares that could be purchased at the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the award (no awards were made in fiscal 2006) with 10% of the cash bonus pool. The cash bonus is described under the heading “Incentive Compensation Plans,” below. |
Incentive Compensation Plans. The fiscal years 2003-2006
Annual Cash Bonus and Incentive Compensation Plans (the
’03-’06 Plans”) provided for the award of cash
bonuses and stock options based upon operating results. Results
were measured by a wide range of goals which must be met,
including goals for operating income, return on investment,
individual strategic and/or operational issues, profitability,
achievement of plan and annual income growth. The stock feature
of the ’03-’06 Plans provided for the award of
restricted stock and stock options to executive officers and
other key personnel. In fiscal 2006, no shares of restricted
stock were awarded, while in fiscal years 2004 and 2005, the
number of shares of restricted stock awarded was equal to the
number of shares that could be purchased at a price equal to the
fair market value of the shares of Common Stock determinable on
the date of the award. Voting and dividend rights vested
immediately. Restrictions on sale lapse over three years in
annual one-third increments. Shares for which restrictions have
not yet expired are forfeited upon termination of employment.
Stock options were awarded at an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the shares of Common Stock determinable on
the date of grant. Options awarded become exercisable in annual
equal installments over three years and expire ten years after
grant date. During fiscal 2006 stock options, and during fiscal
years 2004 and 2005, both restricted stock and stock options,
were awarded pursuant to the 1999 Long Term Incentive Plan and
the 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan, which plans provided
mechanisms for awarding various kinds of stock based awards.
Retirement Plans. The executive officers are participants
in the TransTechnology Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the
“Retirement Savings Plan”), a defined contribution
plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code
which covers employees who have been employed by the Company for
more than thirty (30) days. Approximately 132 employees
participated in the Retirement Savings Plan at March 31,
2006. Benefits are payable on retirement, disability, death, or
other separation from service. Participants in the Retirement
Savings Plan may defer receipt and taxation of up to 15% of
their compensation by contributing such compensation to the
Plan. The Company contributes a minimum of 3% and a maximum of
6% of employees’ compensation to the Retirement Savings
Plan, depending on the level of contribution by each employee.
