Exhibit 10.13

 

CEREVEL THERAPEUTICS HOLDINGS, INC.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE CASH ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

(Adopted: October 27, 2020)

 

1.

Purpose

This Senior Executive Cash Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) is intended to provide a performance-based incentive for pre-identified business results and to also further motivate eligible executives of Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries toward even higher achievement, to tie their goals and interests to those of the Company and its stockholders and to enable the Company to attract and retain highly qualified executives. The AIP is for the benefit of Covered Executives (as defined below).

 

2.

Eligibility

From time to time, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) may select certain key executives (the “Covered Executives”) to be eligible to receive bonuses hereunder. Bonus plans for Covered Executives shall be adopted in each performance period by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each Covered Executive at the beginning of each performance period. In order to be eligible to receive an actual incentive payout, the Covered Executive must be employed with the Company on the last day of the performance period. If a Covered Executive was not employed for an entire performance period, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, pro rate the bonus based on the number of days employed during such period. Participation in the AIP does not change the “at will” nature of a Covered Executive’s employment with the Company.

 

3.

Administration

The Compensation Committee shall have the sole discretion and authority to administer and interpret the AIP.

 

4.

Annual Bonus Targets

The Compensation Committee shall establish a target bonus opportunity for each Covered Executive for the respective performance period. For each Covered Executive, the Compensation Committee may apportion the target award so that the target award is tied to the attainment of (a) Corporate Performance, or (b) a mix of Corporate Performance Goals and individual performance objectives or other performance goals (e.g., division, function, business unit, etc.).

 

5.

Bonus Goals

(a) Corporate Performance Goals. A Covered Executive may receive a bonus payment under the AIP based upon the attainment of one or more performance objectives that are established by the Compensation Committee and relate to financial and operational metrics with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Corporate Performance Goals”), including without limitation the following: research and development, publication, clinical or regulatory milestones; cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow);

Achievement Results of AIP Goals.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may adjust bonuses payable under the Incentive Plan based on achievement of one or more individual performance objectives or pay bonuses (including, without limitation, discretionary bonuses) to Covered Executives under the Incentive Plan based on individual performance goals and/or upon such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may in its discretion determine.

(b) Corporate Performance Goals. Corporate Performance Goals will be calculated in accordance with the Company’s financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles, or under a methodology established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the performance period and which is consistently applied with respect to a Corporate Performance Goal in the relevant performance period.
