Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e)

On November 22, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Micron Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”), approved the 2019 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “EIC”), which replaces the Company’s previous executive incentive compensation plan.  The EIC provides for cash and equity incentive awards that may be paid to certain executives approved for participation in the EIC, including the Named Executive Officers of the Company, (each, an “Executive” or “Participant”), based on the Company’s achievement of certain corporate performance metrics beginning with the Company’s 2019 fiscal year.

Any bonuses will be paid, if at all, from a bonus pool to be determined during the budget process, reviewed by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.  Funding of the pool is scaled relative to the extent of achievement of the plan as per the table below, with a maximum funding of 125% of the plan.

Target Awards are determined by position level and will be typically expressed as a percentage of a Participant’s annual base salary as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year.  Annual base salary does not include other forms of compensation (such as, without limitation, bonus payments, long-term incentives, overtime compensation, stock based compensation and other variable compensation).  Target Awards may also be a specified fixed dollar amount.

Payment of Target Awards shall be comprised of cash and equity, and the amount of each will be determined by any employment agreements and the Compensation Committee.  Target Awards, and the split between cash and equity, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee.

The EIC also contains a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) to reward Executives for achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives that lead to the maximization of shareholder value by continual improvement in financial performance or strategic initiatives.  The LTIP is in addition to the annual bonus plan.  The Board will approve LTIP grants, if any, on an annual basis.  LTIP awards shall be awarded 100% in the form of stock-based compensation in accordance with the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

The foregoing description of the 2019 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the 2019 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
