Under the 2013 Bonus Plan, the Company's executive officers are eligible to receive cash incentive bonus payments based on the achievement of (i) quarterly corporate and/or business unit financial targets and (ii) semiannual department or business unit objectives, with 65% of the target cash incentive bonus allocated to the quarterly corporate and/or business unit financial targets and 35% of the target cash incentive bonus allocated to the semiannual department or business unit objectives. The only exception to this allocation is David Gilbertson, the Company's Vice President and General Manager, SaveLocal. In the case of Mr. Gilbertson, 55% of the target cash incentive bonus is allocated to the quarterly corporate financial targets and 45% of the target cash incentive bonus is allocated to the semiannual department or business unit objectives.
The quarterly corporate and/or business unit financial targets under the 2013
Bonus Plan are based on the following corporate and business unit metrics:
(i) quarterly consolidated revenue growth ("QRG"), (ii) in cases of certain of
the executive officers who manage a business unit, quarterly business unit
revenue growth for that business unit ("QBURG"), and (iii) adjusted EBITDA
margin, which is generally calculated by taking net income calculated in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, adding
depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation expense, adjusting
for taxes and contingent consideration adjustment, if any, and subtracting
interest and other income and then dividing by revenue ("Adjusted EBITDA Margin"
or "AEM").
The quarterly QRG, QBURG and Adjusted EBITDA Margin targets are established by the Board as part of the budgeting process and subsequently approved by the Compensation Committee. As of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Compensation Committee has not yet approved the quarterly QRG, QBURG or Adjusted EBITDA Margin targets for the 2013 Bonus Plan.
The Compensation Committee determines the portion of each executive officer's target cash incentive bonus that is allocated to each of the QRG metric, the QBURG metric and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin metric. For the Company's named executive officers, the allocations are as follows:
QRG QBURG Adjusted EBITDA
Name Metric Metric Margin Metric
Gail F. Goodman 50% - 15%
Harpreet S. Grewal 50% - 15%
David Gilbertson 40% - 15%
Rick W. Jensen 50% - 15%
Christopher M. Litster 25% 25% 15%
|
Bonus payments related to the QRG metric or the QBURG metric will be based on the following levels of achievement, as a percentage of the quarterly target QRG bonus or target QBURG bonus, as applicable:
Less 140%
Achievement than and
Level 80% 80% 85% 90% 95% 100% 105% 110% 115% 120% 125% 130% 135% Greater
Payout Percentage 0% 50% 63% 75% 88% 100% 125% 150% 175% 200% 225% 250% 275% 300%
|
Bonus payments related to the Adjusted EBITDA Margin metric will be based on the following levels of achievement, as a percentage of the quarterly target Adjusted EBITDA Margin bonus:
< Target Target Target Target > Target Achievement AEM -1% Point AEM - 1% Point AEM AEM + 1% Point AEM + 1% Point Payout Percentage 0% 95% 100% 105% 105%
Bonus payments for achievement between the two Adjusted EBITDA Margin thresholds described above will be made on a pro rata basis.
Semiannual Department or Business Unit Objectives
The semiannual department or business unit objectives for each executive officer (other than Ms. Goodman) will be established by Ms. Goodman and reviewed with the Compensation Committee and will be tied to the financial and/or operating performance of the department or business unit in which the executive officer is engaged. The Compensation Committee will establish the semiannual objectives for Ms. Goodman. The semiannual department or business unit objectives will be established at the beginning of each of the first and third quarters of 2013. As of the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the semiannual department or business unit objectives for the Company's executive officers have not been established.
Forms of Stock Option Agreements
On December 4, 2012, the Compensation Committee approved a new form of nonstatutory stock option agreement and a new form of incentive stock option agreement for grants of stock options to executive officers under the 2011 Plan. The terms of the new forms of stock option agreements are consistent with the prior forms of stock option agreements, except that the new forms of stock option agreements eliminate the prior automatic vesting of 50% of the unvested portion of each stock option immediately upon a Change of Control (single trigger vesting) and instead provide that the stock option vests in full (rather than the remaining unvested portion) if, prior to the one year anniversary of a "Change of Control" of the Company, the employment of the executive officer is terminated by the Company without "Cause" or by the executive officer for "Good Reason," as each such term is defined in the stock option agreement.
Forms of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreements
On December 4, 2012, the Compensation Committee approved a new form of performance-based restricted stock unit agreement (revenue based) (the "Revenue RSU Agreement") and a new form of performance-based restricted stock unit agreement (total shareholder return based) (the "TSR RSU Agreement") for grants of performance-based RSUs to the Company's executive officers, including its named executive officers, under the 2011 Plan.
Under the terms of the TSR RSU Agreement, the RSUs subject to the agreement will vest upon the achievement of a "Total Shareholder Return" target, as compared to a specified peer group of companies, provided that the executive remains employed through the measurement period. The number of RSUs that will vest upon achievement of the Total Shareholder Return target will vary based on the level of achievement from a maximum of 125% of the target shares specified in the TSR RSU Agreement to a threshold of 50% of the target shares specified in the TSR RSU Agreement, with no vesting, absent certain circumstances in a "Change of Control," if the threshold requirement is not achieved.
The vesting of RSUs under the Revenue RSU Agreement and the TSR RSU Agreement is subject to acceleration in certain circumstances in connection with a "Change of . . .
