(1) Core Business Service Revenue includes: Core United States and Canada
business.
(2) Growth Service Revenue includes: Mobile and International business and
opportunities.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding certain
items including depreciation and amortization and share-based expense.
(4) Churn relates to the average monthly percentage of customers that terminate
service in our core business. The Company calculates churn by dividing the
number of customers that terminate during the year by the simple average number
of customers during the year, and dividing the result by twelve. The simple
average number of customers is the number of customers on the first day of the
year plus the number of customers on the last day of the year, divided by two.
For each metric, there is a target level of performance that would result in a
payment equal to 100% of the weighted target bonus for the metric, a minimum
level of performance that would result in a payment equal to 50% of the weighted
target bonus for the metric, and an outstanding level of performance that would
result in a payment equal to 175% of the weighted target bonus for the metric.
Reflecting the Company's focus on growing revenues, no payments above 85% of the
target bonus will be made unless the target level of performance under the Core
Business Service Revenue metric is met. If the target levels of performance for
all four metrics are met, the payments would equal 130% of the weighted target
bonus for each metric with additional payments up to a maximum of 175% for each
metric in proportion to the amount by which the Company's performance for the
metric exceeds the target level of performance compared to the outstanding level
of performance. In the event that outstanding levels of performance are attained
for all four metrics, the payment will equal 225% of an individual's target
bonus.
With respect to officers and bonus-eligible employees in certain functional
groups, 15% of the target bonus will be based upon an additional metric specific
to the function. The additional metrics are as follows:
• Vonage Mobile - Revenue and EBITDA. Each metric, as measured for
Vonage Mobile performance only, represents 7.5% of the target bonus,
and is measured independently.
• International Markets - Revenue and EBITDA. Each metric, as measured
for International Markets performance only, represents 7.5% of the
target bonus, and is measured independently.
|
• Marketing - Marketing Efficiency. This metric reflects the ratio
between marketing controlled costs and annualized revenue from new
accounts.
• Network Operations, Development and Information Technology -
Enterprise System Availability and Call Processing Availability.
These metrics measure the percentage of time during the year that
enterprise systems and call processing systems are available.
Performance is blended into a single metric, representing 15% of
target bonus.
• Carrier Operations - Cost of telephony services per line ("COTS").
COTS is a blend of per-minute termination rates, including domestic
and international calls, plus a component for non-termination COTS
costs.

For Mr. Lefar, 15% of his target bonus will be based upon an equal weighting of
the additional metrics specified above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee retains the discretion to adjust
the amount of any bonus to be paid, regardless of whether or the extent to which
any of the objective criteria are achieved, to change the metrics and
weightings, and to add additional metrics specific to functions.
Additional information with respect to the compensation arrangements for the
Company's executive officers, including salary increases, annual bonus awards,
and equity grants will be set forth in the Company's Proxy Statement for its
2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Payouts Pursuant to 2012 Bonus Metrics and Weightings
On February 6, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved the payouts for all
eligible employees, including our named executive officers, with respect to our
2012 Bonus Metrics and Weightings. The Company's bonus program allows for the
use of discretion by the Compensation Committee to award lower or higher payout
levels than the pre-established metrics and weightings would provide when
determining actual payouts. In determining payouts under the 2012 Bonus Metrics
and Weightings, the Compensation Committee considered a broad range of results
during 2012, including major milestones and achievements, the stability of core
business despite competitive pressures, and progress on growth initiatives. In
light of these factors, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to
increase the payouts under the 2012 Bonus Metrics and Weightings from
approximately 50% to 70% of target for all eligible employees, including our
named executive officers.
