When, as and if adopted, the programs will award cash bonuses to participants based upon the Company’s achievement of specified performance goals in the applicable fiscal year. Under such programs, a maximum amount will be established for each named executive officer, and the Compensation Committee has discretion to reduce such amounts based on the facts and circumstances as determined by the Compensation Committee, including metrics related to the Company’s financial performance. Such metrics include the Company’s operating income on an excluded items basis, the Company’s total sales, and the Company’s achievement of a threshold level of return on invested capital on an excluded items basis.
Awards under the programs described above are subject to the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy, described in Item 8.01 of the Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 27, 2012, and the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan.
