friday afternoon filing fun

It's always fun to see what filings roll in around 6 pm eastern on a Friday.

Todays is Wellcare (WCG), which despite making the decisions on bonuses and an increase in base salary on Monday (the 14th), just now got around to filing the paperwork. (emphasis and additions mine)

On February 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (the “Company”) determined bonuses under the Company’s annual cash bonus plan for 2010 of $1,015,625 for Alec Cunningham, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; $546,250 for Thomas L. Tran, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and $320,000 for Scott D. Law, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Health Care Delivery. These bonuses are expected to be paid on March 4, 2011.

The Committee also approved increases to base salary for Mr. Cunningham from $650,000 to $800,000 (note: +23%) and for Mr. Tran from$475,000 to $500,000, each effective as of February 13, 2011.
