2009 Corporate Bonus Plan |
In March 2009, our board of directors approved our 2009 corporate bonus plan in which employees of the company may participate, including our named executive officers. Under the 2009 corporate bonus plan, cash bonuses, if any, will be based on the achievement in fiscal year 2009 of an EBITDA, or net income before net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, target which was approved by our board in March 2009.
If we achieve less than 91.5% of the EBITDA target established by our board, no participant will be eligible to receive any specific bonus amount, but 25% of the target bonus amount will be accrued for discretionary bonuses to be determined by our compensation committee with input and guidance from our executive officers. If we achieve the 91.5% threshold of the EBITDA target, the 2009 corporate bonus plan will pay out at 25% of the target bonus amount. If our EBITDA target is fully achieved, the plan will pay out at the target bonus amount. If we achieve an EBITDA between the threshold and target, the percentage of the target bonus amount to be paid will be determined ratably. In addition, if we achieve more than the EBITDA target goal, actual bonuses as a percentage of target bonus amounts will be determined ratably up to a maximum of 200% of the target bonuses. For example, if actual EBITDA in fiscal year 2009 is 113% of target EBITDA, participants will be eligible to receive actual bonuses up to 200% of their target bonuses. For fiscal year 2009, the bonus opportunity is capped at 200%.
Under our 2009 corporate bonus plan, the target bonus opportunity for each of our named executive officers is as follows:
Position | Target Bonus Opportunity | |
|
|
|
Chief Executive Officer | 100% of base salary | |
|
|
|
Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer | 75% of base salary | |
|
|
|
Division President | 60% of base salary |
Under our 2009 corporate bonus plan, bonus amounts to be paid to our named executive officers are based solely on the companys year-end financial results.
