Summary
Summary of the 10-K/A filed April 30, 1999. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This filing is EMCOR Group, Inc.'s Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for fiscal year 1998, filed April 30, 1999.
It contains only Part III information (directors, executive officers, compensation, ownership, and related transactions). It does not include financial statements, revenue, earnings, or a business description, so it cannot be used to assess the company's 1998 operating or financial performance. Investors should consult the original 10-K for those details.
The filing shows a company with a concentrated leadership structure. Frank T. MacInnis serves as Chairman and CEO and holds the most significant compensation package, with a 1998 salary of $700,000,a an $800,000 bonus, and a 200,000-share option grant at $19.75 tied partly to stock price hurdles of $25 to $40.
Jeffrey M. Levy, President and COO, earned a $400,000b bonus. Employment agreements run through December 31, 2000, and Continuity Agreements provide severance of three times salary and bonus following a change of control, which is defined as a 25% acquisition of voting securities.
Investors should weigh these change-in-control protections in any takeover analysis. Ownership is held in part by large outside holders. Steven A.
Van Dyke reported 14.7%c, Oaktree Capital Management 13.1%, and Cumberland Associates 8.1%, with shares outstanding of about 9.67 million as of April 15, 1999. The performance graph shows EMCOR's stock rising from a base of 100 in January 1995 to 358 by December 1998, though it declined sharply in late 1998 and has since recovered.
The peer group is limited to The Turner Corporation, Perini Corporation, and MYR Group. Aggregate non-affiliate market value was approximately $160 milliond.
