On September 9, 2011, Body Central Corp.

Mr. Stoltz comes to the Company from Fanatics, LLC, where he served as Chief Financial Officer from 2008 to present.  His previous employment includes Chief Financial Officer of Cato Corporation, Citi Trends, Inc., and Factory Card Outlet.  He has also held senior financial positions with Dollar General Corporation and Food Lion, Inc.  Mr. Stoltz has been a licensed CPA in North Carolina since 1985 and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

 

Mr. Stoltz will receive an annual base salary of $350,000 and will have an opportunity to earn a bonus based upon his and the Company’s performance.  Mr. Stoltz will also receive stock options to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing price on his start date. If Mr. Stoltz’s duties are determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee to have increased in a material manner beyond the duties normally commensurate with the position of Chief Financial Officer within 18 months of his start date, Mr. Stoltz will be eligible to receive stock options to purchase at least 25,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Stoltz shall be eligible to receive an annual long-term grant valued at $150,000 and comprised of 2/3 of such value (as determined based on the Black-Scholes model) being in the form of options to purchase the Company’s common stock and 1/3 of such value being in the form of the Company’s restricted stock.  If the Company terminates Mr. Stoltz’s employment without cause, he will be entitled to receive a severance payment of twelve months of his base salary.

 

The Company also announced that Richard L. Walters, formerly its Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, is no longer with the Company as of September 7, 2011.
