(e)

On March 16, 2011, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board of Directors of SuccessFactors, Inc. approved revisions to the operation of its corporate bonus program. Any quarterly bonus will be paid in cash to eligible employees up to a limit of 100% of the target amount for the particular quarter. Any excess quarterly bonus funding accrual above the 100% target amount would be applied to future periods as follows: (1) the excess would first be applied to funding for any subsequent quarter where the quarterly funding calculation falls below 100%, to increase the quarterly payout up to the 100% maximum for the quarter, subject to meeting minimum operating profit targets, and (2) any excess cumulative quarterly accrual not required to augment subsequent quarters will be applied to the annual pool component of the bonus pool. If the calculated bonus accrual causes operating profit to fall below the minimum required for a quarter, funding and accrual reductions will first be applied against the quarterly bonus funding and then (if necessary) against the annual funding amount until the required minimum operating margin is restored.
