Incentive Award structure and Determination

General Structure

This Plan is structured to deliver an objectively defined incentive pay opportunity based on both Company financial performance and individual performance for the Performance Period. The two principal components or award factors that determine Awards payable under the plan are:

 

 

The Funding Factor; and

 

 

Participant’s Target Award %

 

Setting Annual Target Award %

Before the beginning of each Performance Period, Target Awards are to be established for each Plan Participant by the Committee. Such Target Awards will be expressed as a percent of the Participant’s annual base salary for the Performance Period, and will be set at levels consistent with the executive compensation philosophies and objectives of the Board. Target Award % for 2015 is set forth on Appendix B hereto.

 

Determination of Awards 

At the end of each Performance Period, the Award paid under the Plan for the Performance Period shall be determined as follows:

 

Step 1: The Compensation Committee, in its absolute discretion, sets the aggregate size of the award pool.

 

Step 2: Determine the Funding Factor based upon Net Operation Income performance (refer to the funding schedule under Appendix A)

 

Step 3: The Award will be calculated as follows:

 

(Funding Factor) X (Participant’s Target Award %) X (Base Salary)

 

 

The Committee reserves the sole discretion to adjust the total Award pool resulting from the above process to reconcile to the total Award pool funded.

 

Adjustment of Performance Conditions

The Committee may modify or adjust the determination of corporate financial performance under the Plan to account for unusual or extraordinary events that occur during the Performance Period such as:

 

 

Corporate reorganizations, acquisitions, including spin-offs and other distributions of property; or

 

 

Changes in applicable laws or regulations that impact financial performance; or

 

 

Accounting changes mandated by FASB that affect financial performance; or

 

 

Material financial transactions that result in performance that in the judgment of the Committee does not fairly reflect outcomes normally expected to be under the control of management.

 

 
 

 

 

Payment of Awards

Payment of Awards 

Awards earned and payable as determined by the Committee shall be paid to the Participant in cash no later than March 15 of the year immediately following the Performance Period. In the event of a Participant’s death after the end of the Performance Period, but before payment of the Award, such Award shall be paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in writing by the Participant and filed with the Company or, in the absence of and such designation, or if no such designated beneficiary survives the Participant, to the Participant’s estate.

 

Termination of Employment 

A Participant must be employed in an Executive Officer capacity at the end of the Performance Period to receive payment of Awards earned under this Plan for such Performance Period.

 

General Provisions

Amendment or Discontinuation of this Plan

The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue this Plan at any time, provided that no amendment, alteration, or discontinuance may be made, which would materially and adversely affect the rights of a Participant under any Award opportunity in effect for the Performance Period during which such Board action is taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan may be amended at any time to: (i) comply with any law; (ii) preserve any intended favorable tax effects for the Company, the Plan or Participants; or (iii) avoid any unintended unfavorable tax effects for the Company, the Plan or Participants.

 

Tax Withholding 

 

The Company shall withhold any taxes which the Committee determines the Company is required by law or by the terms of this Plan to withhold in connection with any Awards made under the Plan. The Company may withhold cash, in an amount equal to the amount which the Committee determines is necessary to satisfy the obligation of the Company to withhold federal, state and local income taxes.

 

No Implied Rights to Employment

 

Neither this Plan nor any award hereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any right to continued employment with the Company. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and the Company expressly reserves the right at any time to terminate employees free from liability, or any claim, under this Plan, except as may be specifically provided for under this Plan.

Guidelines for 2017

 

 

We have also established the minimum earnings threshold for non-executive officer payout to equal 66.7%. Please refer to the funding table in the Officer Bonus Template.

     
 

The upper limit is 120% of the net operating income budget, which will result in a maximum incentive payout of 150%, as indicated by the attached schedule.

     
 

The minimum threshold for the Executive Officer Group will remain at the traditional 85% of budget as in the past.

 

 

The incentive payment for non-officer employees of the Corporation is included in the 2017 award pool in Appendix A.
