Fiscal 2015 Bonus Plan
On March 18, 2015, the Board of Directors of Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Company’s Fiscal 2015 Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, participants (who range from corporate managers and other key contributors to the CEO) are eligible to receive cash bonuses equal to a percentage of their base salary. The amount of the bonus depends on a combination of: (i) the Company’s achievement of a pre-set “EBITDA” (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, but excluding one-time non-recurring charges) target (the “EBITDA Target”); and (ii) the participant’s individual performance. For participants in support functions (such as finance, legal and human resources, among others) that are senior vice presidents or vice presidents, the EBITDA Target component of the bonus is 75% and the individual performance component of the bonus is 25%. For other participants in support functions, the EBITDA Target component of the bonus is 70% and the individual performance component of the bonus is 30%. For participants in business driver functions (such as merchandise, design and product development, among others), the EBITDA Target and individual components are each 50%. Additionally, participants in business driver functions can earn up to 200% of their individual component if they exceed one or more of the metrics comprising such component.
Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, no bonus is achieved under the Plan unless the Company meets its budgeted EBITDA Target. If that EBITDA Target is achieved, the Plan will be 50% funded. If the Company achieves EBITDA equal to two times the EBITDA Target, the Plan will be 100% funded. The Compensation Committee of the Board has the authority under the Plan to, if circumstances so dictate, award discretionary bonuses to top performing participants even if the EBITDA Target is not achieved, award no bonuses under the Plan even if the EBITDA Target is achieved, modify the split between the EBITDA Target component and the individual performance component, and award bonuses in any form it determines (e.g. in the form of equity awards, retention bonuses, etc.).
Amounts which the executive officers of the Company are eligible to receive under the Plan are as follows:
Name/Title | Base Salary | Target Bonus Percentage | Target Bonus | Maximum Bonus Percentage | Maximum Bonus | |||||
