W&T Offshore Locks In CEO Tracy Krohn's $1 Million Base Salary

1 articles · Updated · Minichart · Aug 8

Summary

  • An Aug. 5 SEC filing shows W&T Offshore amended Tracy W. Krohn’s employment agreement to guarantee a minimum annual base salary of $1 million.
  • The revised terms require the board or a committee to review Krohn’s pay annually, but allow only increases, not cuts, during the agreement’s term.
  • The salary will be paid under normal company payroll practices at least monthly, and the 8-K classifies the change as a material executive compensation arrangement.
  • For investors, the amendment adds a fixed executive cost and signals the board’s continued commitment to Krohn’s leadership at the Houston-based oil and gas producer.
