Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 21, 2013, the Board of Directors of TRI Pointe Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), adopted a cash bonus plan (the “Bonus Plan”) pursuant to which the employees of the Company, including the named executive officers of the Company, will be eligible to earn cash bonus compensation based on the achievement of Company performance objectives. The material terms of the Bonus Plan are as follows:

Under the Bonus Plan, the named executive officers are eligible to earn a cash bonus of up to 100% of his base salary based on the Company’s achievement of a pre-established consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer. The Compensation Committee may approve positive and negative adjustments. The cash bonus opportunities for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer are as follows:

 

     Threshold     Target     Maximum  

Percentage of EBITDA Achieved

     75     100     125

Bonus Payment (as Percentage of Base Salary)

     50     75     100

The achievement of performance criteria between the threshold, target and maximum levels will result in payments calculated on a linear 1 to 1 increase or decrease. For example, if 87.5% of the target is achieved, the officer’s payout will be 62.5%.

Payments to these officers under the Bonus Plan are paid following the completion of the Company’s fiscal year-end audit.
