On August, 31, 2026, the Company appointed David Buss to serve as its Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer ("COO"). Mr. Buss, age 62, brings with him over 30 years of experience of executive leadership in transportation and logistics, with experience directing complex operations, strategic planning, business development, and M&A diligence and integration. Mr. Buss most recently served as an independent private equity transportation logistics advisor from August 2025 until July 2026. Beginning in March 2020, he served as the Chief Executive Officer, North America Cluster for DB Schenker, where he led the U.S. division and coordinated business unit and commercial offerings across the organization, helping improve operating margin by more than 200% over a five-year period. He was subsequently promoted in April 2023 into the newly created North America Cluster leadership role and also served on the integration steering committee for the company's acquisition of USA Truck, completed in September 2022, until July 2025.
We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Buss ("Employment Agreement") setting forth the terms and conditions of his employment. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company will pay him an annual base salary of $250,000, subject to annual evaluation and adjustment. Incentive compensation will be awarded to Mr. Buss under the Company's general management compensation plans, based upon the achievement of corporate and individual objectives at the discretion of our audit and executive oversight committee.
In addition to customary employment benefits that are broadly provided to our employees, such as participation in our stock option plans and life insurance, hospitalization, major medical and other health benefits, Mr. Buss is entitled to six months of severance in the form of salary continuation payments in the event his employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability, or by the Company other than for cause; or twelve months of severance if within nine months following a "Change of Control", he voluntarily terminates his employment for "Good Reason" or his employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause. For the purposes of the Employment Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to occur if there occurs a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of substantially all of our assets to another entity, except to an entity controlled directly or indirectly by us, or a merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company other than pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency laws. Additionally, "Good Reason" shall be deemed to occur upon either (i) a breach of the Employment Agreement by us, or (ii) a reduction in salary without Mr. Buss' consent, unless any such reduction is otherwise part of an overall reduction in executive compensation experienced on a pro rata basis by other similarly situated employees.
The description of the Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Mr. Buss has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor are any such transactions currently proposed. There are no family relationships between Mr. Buss and any of the Company's directors or executive officers.
