As previously disclosed, on June 3, 2019 (the “ Petition Date ”), FTD Companies, Inc. (the “ Company ”) and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “ Debtors ”) filed voluntary petitions commencing cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “ Bankruptcy Court ”).  The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (together, the “ Chapter 11 Cases ”) are being jointly administered under the caption, In re FTD Companies, Inc., Case No. 19-11240 (LSS) (Bankr. D. Del.).  The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

As previously disclosed, the Debtors are engaged in ongoing efforts to implement and consummate value-maximizing asset sales of (a) FTD.COM, Florists’ Transworld Delivery and the ProFlowers business (collectively, “ FTD ”), (b) Personal Creations, and (c) Gourmet Foods (each a “ Potential Sale ” and together, the “ Potential Sales ”) for the benefit of the Debtors’ stakeholders.

 

Key Employee Incentive Plan

 

On June 28, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Company’s Key Employee Incentive Plan (the “ KEIP ”). The KEIP is designed to provide incentive compensation, based on the transaction value of completed Potential Sales, to five of the Debtors’ senior executives, including Scott D. Levin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven D. Barnhart, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Tom D. Moeller, Executive Vice President, Florist Division, and Joseph R. Topper, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer (together, the “ NEO KEIP Participants ”), and provides an aggregate potential threshold award opportunity of $650,000, an aggregate target award opportunity of $2.15 million and an aggregate maximum award opportunity of $4.0 million. The KEIP replaces any cash-based retention agreements previously entered into between the Company and the NEO KEIP Participants. KEIP awards will be paid to the KEIP participants upon the consummation of the Potential Sale(s) and will be paid out of the proceeds from such Potential Sale(s); provided, however, that the first payment cannot be made until FTD is sold.  If Personal Creations or Gourmet Foods is sold prior to FTD, the applicable KEIP awards will be escrowed and paid only upon FTD being sold.  Each NEO KEIP Participant’s threshold, target and maximum KEIP award opportunities for each Potential Sale are included in the tables below.
