For 2013, the Company-based performance factor (or CPF) goals were weighted at 100% for Mr. Hasnain and 80% for the balance of the management team.  CPF Goals established and achieved included various financing and drug development activities and objectives.  The individual performance factor (or IPF) goals were weighted at 20% and varied among the non-CEO members of the management team, with categories including strategic leadership, communication, results, performance, collaboration and personnel development.  The Board approved the recommendation of its Compensation Committee for a 2013 CPF achievement of 135%.  Mr. Hasnain’s bonus, weighted 100% on CPF goals determined to be 135% achieved, resulted in a performance-based bonus of $348,233.  A CPF rate of 108% (135% achievement at 80% weighting), combined with IPF achievements of 150% and 140% based on individual performances of Dr. Gujrathi and Mr. Cooper, respectively, resulted in a total bonus of $153,180 for Dr. Gujrathi and $119,707 for Mr. Cooper.
