The cash bonus for Phillip A. Clendenin, the Company’s Executive Vice President — Operations, will be based 20% upon the attainment of Company earnings targets, 30% upon the attainment of personal performance goals, 30% upon targets related to surgery center profits, and 20% upon the annual EBITDA of surgery centers acquired and de novo surgery center partnerships formed during 2014.
