Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management
 
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
In support of Marten Transport, Ltd.’s (the “Company’s”) cost reduction initiatives to mitigate the considerable duration and depth of the freight market recession’s impact on our operations with its oversupply, weak demand and inflationary operating costs, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved management’s recommendation to temporarily reduce named executive officer base salaries effective September 9, 2024. The base salaries of Randolph L. Marten, Timothy M. Kohl, James J. Hinnendael and Douglas P. Petit were each reduced by 7.5%, while the base salaries of Adam D. Phillips and Randall J. Baier were each reduced by 5.0%. The last change to each executive officer’s base salary was in May 2023, or later in 2023 in connection with appointment to an executive officer. The temporary reduction in base salaries will not affect any other items of compensation.
