(*) (Gain) / Loss (**) For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2014, the table above shows a reduction of compensation costs for LTRP 2009, 2010 and 2011 as a consequence of a decrease in the Company’s stock price during the quarter. On August 4, 2015, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the 2015 Long-Term Retention Plan (“2015 LTRP”). In order to receive an award under the 2015 LTRP, each eligible employee must satisfy the performance conditions established by the Board of Directors for such employee. The awards under 2015 LTRP are payable in cash, common stock or a combination thereof, in addition to the annual salary and bonus of each employee. The Company has granted the right to any LTRP participant to request settlement in cash. If these conditions are satisfied, the eligible employee will, subject to his or her continued employment as of each applicable payment date, receive the full amount of his or her 2015 LTRP bonus, payable as follows:
| · the eligible employee will receive a fixed payment equal to 8.333% of his or her 2015 LTRP bonus once a year for a period of six years starting in March 2016; and
| · on each date the Company pays the Annual Fixed Payment to the officer, he or she will also receive a payment equal to the product of (i) 8.333% of the applicable 2015 LTRP bonus and (ii) the quotient of (a) divided by (b), where (a), the numerator, equals the Applicable Year Stock Price (as defined below) and (b), the denominator, equals the 2014 Stock Price (as defined below). For purposes of the 2015 LTRP, the “2014 Stock Price” shall equal $127.29 (the average closing price of the Company´s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market during the final 60-trading days of 2014) and the “Applicable Year Stock Price” shall equal the average closing price of the Company´s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market during the final 60-trading days of the year preceding the applicable payment date for so long as the Company´s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ.
Additionally, on the same date, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an amendment of each of the Company´s 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013 and 2014 Long Term Retention Plans (“LTRPs”), effective as of January 1, 2015. These LTRPs were amended to (a) revise the prior LTRPs’ definition of the term “Market Value” to distinguish between a Change in Control (as defined in the amended LTRPs) in which the Company is the surviving entity and those transactions in which it is not the surviving entity and (b) include special payment rules in the case of participants who experience a Covered Termination within 120 days before a Change in Control or after a Change in Control. These amendments are also included in the 2015 LTRP described above. Under these amendments, (a) each participant should receive a single payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Award payments scheduled to be paid after a Change in Control (based on the Market Value on the date the Change in Control occurs), and (b) each award payment scheduled to be paid after the Change in Control shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%), to reflect the single payment, and should continue to be paid on March 31 every year. As of the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the probability of a Change in Control is remote. According to the amended Change in Control provision, the effects of the acceleration in vesting shall be recorded once the Change in Control event becomes probable.
