(e) On January 22, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of H.B. Fuller Company (the “Company”) approved the following compensation programs applicable to executive officers (except as noted) as attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2:

 

  i) A Bonus Multiplier Program: This program is intended to incentivize and reward individual performance. The plan pays plus or minus five percent of an individual’s Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) payout based on performance related to an individual metric. Each eligible employee (including all executive officers except the CEO and CFO) will have an individual metric and target. If the employee achieves their performance target as of fiscal year-end, the employee will receive an additional five percent of their annual STIP bonus payout. If the employee does not achieve their performance target as of fiscal year end, the employee will receive a five percent reduction to their annual STIP bonus payout; and

 

  ii) A Special 2015 Performance Acceleration Bonus Plan: For fiscal year 2015 only, this program will pay an amount equal to up to 50% of an eligible individual’s (including all executive officers) STIP target if:

 

  a) Performance is above threshold for earnings per share for the first half of the 2015 fiscal year, and

 

  b) An individual’s applicable operating profit budget for the first of the 2015 fiscal year is achieved or exceeded.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the H.B. Fuller Company Bonus Multiplier Program and the H.B.
