2013 MICP Bonus Determination

 

On February 20, 2014, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved the annual cash incentive bonuses for the named executive officers under the 2013 WCI Communities, Inc. Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 MICP”).  All other compensation for the named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2013 was previously reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 135 of its Registration Statement filing on Form S-1/A, filed on January 6, 2014 and subsequently withdrawn on February 21, 2014 (the “Registration Statement”).  As of the filing of the Registration Statement, the annual cash incentive bonuses under the 2013 MICP for the named executive officers had not been fully determined and, therefore, were omitted in part from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Registration Statement.  The annual cash incentive bonuses under the 2013 MICP for the named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2013 are set forth below, together with the other compensation previously reported (including the portion of the annual cash incentive bonuses under the 2013 MICP related to land acquisitions) and the new total compensation amounts.
