(e) On February 18, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the performance measures for fiscal year 2014 under the Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“EIC Plan”). The Company’s executives, including the named executive officers, have the potential to earn incentive compensation under the EIC Plan. The cash-incentive bonus opportunity for each participant varies depending upon the position held and ranges from 4% to 130% of the participant’s base salary earned during the year. The threshold, target and maximum bonus potentials for the participants consist of the following:
Position
Threshold

Maximum
Chief Executive Officer

78%
130%
CFO; Sr. VP, Corporate General Counsel; Chief Commercial Officer; Subsidiary President
4%
60%
100%
Vice President; Subsidiary Vice President
4%
48%
80%

The Compensation Committee determines the performance measures, and the extent of the achievement thereof, for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executives, although the latter are determined in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer.

Joseph C. Hete, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Quint O. Turner, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, W. Joseph Payne, the Company's Senior Vice President, Corporate General Counsel and Secretary, and Richard F. Corrado, the Company's Chief Commercial Officer, are participants in the EIC Plan at the levels reflected in the table above. For fiscal year 2014, 80% of their bonus opportunity will be based upon the level of achievement of net income targets established by the Compensation Committee, and 20% of their bonus opportunity will be based upon the level of achievement of strategic objectives, as determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph.

The foregoing description of the EIC Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the EIC Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2013, and is incorporated herein by reference.
