APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
On February 20, 2013, the Board of the Company adopted the Company's Performance Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Bonus Plan") under which participating employees of the Company will be eligible to receive incentive payments in cash based on the achievement of performance goals.
Under the Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board will choose performance measures and determine the formula to use for determining awards. If the Bonus Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders on May 22, 2013, it is intended that awards granted under the Bonus Plan to individuals subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code will qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).
The following is a summary of the principal features of the Bonus Plan. The
summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of
the Bonus Plan. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to a copy of the Bonus Plan which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Description of the Bonus Plan
Plan Administration. While the Compensation Committee administers the Bonus
Plan, it may delegate administration to any officer except with respect to
awards to executive officers and Section 162(m) "covered employees."
Eligibility. All United States employees of the Company are eligible for the
payment of an award under the Bonus Plan as long as such employees are employed
by the Company in an incentive-eligible position on or before September 30 for
that particular performance period. The Compensation Committee shall determine
the extent if any, to which non United States employees shall be eligible to
participate in the Bonus Plan.
Amendment or Termination. The Board or the Compensation Committee may amend,
modify, or terminate the Bonus Plan; provided that no amendment of the Bonus
Plan or with respect to a bonus opportunity may be made that would constitute a
modification of the material terms of a "performance goal" (as described in
Treasury Regulation section 1.162-27(e)(2) or any successor thereto).
Performance Period. The first performance period for the Bonus Plan shall be the
period between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013.
Target Incentive Pool. The target incentive pool will equal the sum of the
individual target awards for all eligible participants under the Bonus Plan and
will be funded through the achievement of performance goals. Through a formulaic
process, the Compensation Committee will establish minimum threshold levels that
must be achieved for each performance goal or for all performance goals for the
performance period in order to fund the incentive pool.
Performance Goals. The Compensation Committee shall establish the specific
measures for each goal to be used for purposes of determining the target
incentive pool, within 90 days of the beginning of the performance period. In
creating these measures, the Compensation Committee shall use one or more of the
following performance criteria:
• Revenue;
• Profitability;
• Working capital;
• Return metrics;
• Stock-related metrics;
• Cash-related;
• Costs or expenses;
• Product-related metrics;
• Implementation or completion of critical projects;
• Market share;
• Asset turnover;
• Inventory turnover;
• Capacity utilization;
• Mergers and acquisition integration;
• Environmental, health and safety;
• Quality;
• Diversity;
• Customer-related metrics;
• Financial and other capital-raising transactions; and
• Employee-related metrics.
The actual incentive pool funding will be determined at the end of the
performance period based on actual performance and will range from 0% to 150% of
the target incentive pool. The overall bonus pool will be allocated to the
various divisions or major corporate function of the Company based on
performance against pre-established goals. Bonuses for participants assigned to
the corporate function for bonus purposes will be funded by the allocation for
the corporate function. Bonuses for executive officers intended to qualify under
Section 162(m) will be determined by pre-established, objective formula, subject
to negative discretion only for the final award amount.
Target Award. The amount that the participant could earn if the targeted level
of performance was achieved is expressed as a percentage of the participant's
base salary or a fixed value. In no event will the target award for any
participant exceed 165% of base salary.
Earning an Award. A participant may earn an award for a performance period up to
150% of the target award based on the level of achievement of the performance
goals established for that period and must be employed at the Company at the
time of the award payment. An award may also be increased up to 100% (subject to
Chief Executive Officer or designee approval) for a participant who is not an
executive officer/Section 162(m) "covered employee" or decreased up to 100% in
the case of any participant, based on the assessment of the individual
participant's performance for the applicable performance period. No award to an
executive officer/Section 162(m) "covered employee" may exceed 150% of the
target award or may be increased above the level of actual performance.
Participants hired between March 31st and September 30th will be eligible for a
pro-rated target award.
Maximum Award. The maximum bonus award payable to any Participant under the
Bonus Plan with respect to any calendar year is $3,000,000.
Payment of Awards. The Compensation Committee shall review and certify in
writing the incentive pool funding, individual performance goal achievement for
all executive officers and "covered employees" and aggregate spend for all
awards, prior to the payment of awards.
Cancellation/Recovery. All bonuses granted under the Bonus Plan shall be subject
to the provisions of any clawback, repayment or recapture policy implemented by
the Company.
Determining Awards for 2013 under the Bonus Plan
The Compensation Committee established the following target awards for the
following named executive officers disclosed in last year's Proxy Statement:
• Peter J. Arduini - 110% of base salary
• John B. Henneman, III - 90% of base salary
NEO EBITDA Objective
The Company has established an EBITDA objective for 2013 for the named executive
officers based on prior year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") (non-adjusted EBITDA). Upon achievement of such EBITDA
objective, the bonus pool for the named executive officers will be funded at the
maximum bonus amount for each named executive officer at 150% of his/her
respective target award. Thereafter, the Compensation Committee has the ability
to exercise only negative discretion in order to determine the actual incentive
cash payment for each named executive officer within the bonus plan based on (i)
the achievement of key performance goals that are individual specific as well as
(ii) the achievement of performance goals related to the Company, division or
function of such named executive officer.
Objectives for Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
The Compensation Committee has negative discretion to reduce target awards for
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for 2013 based on the
following metrics:
• 65% weight on financial and quantitative measures including revenue,
operating cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, gross margin improvement, and
strategic plan objective
• 35% weight on qualitative measures including leadership objectives and strategic initiatives
Overall Incentive Pool Funding Model
An overview of the overall incentive pool funding model of the Bonus Plan for
2013 is shown below:
