The annual performance-based bonus each executive officer is eligible to receive is generally based on the extent to which we achieve corporate goals that our board of directors establishes each year. At the end of each year, our board of directors reviews our performance against each corporate goal and approves the extent to which we achieved each of our corporate goals.
On May 26, 2016, our board of directors adopted corporate goals for purposes of determining the eligibility of our executive officers to receive performance-based bonuses for 2016. The corporate goals relate to the following categories: financial performance; commercial metrics; and regulatory and research and development achievements.
There is no minimum percentage of corporate goals that must be achieved in order to earn a bonus. No specific individual goals were established for any of our executive officers for 2016.
