VistaPrint Limited Executive Officer Fiscal Year 2007 Bonus Plan
VistaPrint Limited established this bonus plan for its executive officers for the fiscal year from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The plan outlines eligibility, bonus calculation methods, and payment timing. Bonuses are based on the company’s performance against revenue and earnings per share (EPS) targets set by the Board of Directors.

Bonuses are paid quarterly, with a final adjustment after audited financials are published.
Executive Officer Fiscal Year 2007 Bonus Plan
VistaPrint Limited
July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007
The Executive Officer Bonus Plan (the "Plan") will be reviewed annually and may be changed at any time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of VistaPrint Limited (the "Company"). The Company does not guarantee that a bonus plan will exist each year, or that bonuses will be paid in any given quarter or year. The Plan does not guarantee continued employment with the Company. The Plan is based on Company performance and the Company reserves the exclusive right to modify or terminate the Plan at its discretion at any time. For purposes of illustration and not limitation, the Company may modify its financial targets should it participate in a business combination.
I. Eligibility
Executive officers of the Company and its various subsidiaries, as designated by the Board of Directors of VistaPrint Limited, are eligible to participate in the Plan. The current executive officers and their target bonus compensation under the plan are set forth in Annex A hereto. Executive officers hired or designated during fiscal year 2007 are eligible for a prorated bonus based on eligible base salary earnings for the remainder of the quarter.
II. Participation Levels
All executive officers' incentive bonuses will be determined in accordance with the Plan. Eligible bonus will be based on a fixed target of a given dollar amount but may be less than, equal to, or greater than the target bonus based upon the Company's overall performance against its financial goals.
III. Company Goals: Revenue and Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Executive Officer bonuses shall be based solely upon the Company's performance against quarterly and annual revenue and earnings per share goals that have been determined by the Board of Directors of VistaPrint Limited. The EPS and the Revenue bonus goals and achievement against those goals are based on the worldwide earnings per share and worldwide revenues of VistaPrint Limited.
- "Revenue" is defined as net revenue for the consolidated whole of VistaPrint Limited and all of its subsidiaries; and
- "EPS" is defined as earnings per share, on a fully diluted basis, calculated in accordance with US GAAP but excluding share option compensation expense determined in accordance with FAS 123R, for the consolidated whole of VistaPrint Limited and all of its subsidiaries.
Revenue Earnings Per Share % of Target Bonus Multiplier % of Target Bonus Multiplier <89.99% 0% <89.99% 0% 90% 50% 90% 25% 100% 100% 100% 100% 105% 200% >115% 200% >110% 300%
- Interpolate a straight line between the above table entries.
- Example for an executive with a total target bonus of $30,000: if Company achieves 105% of its Revenue target and 90% of EPS target, the executive gets (200% x $20,000) + (25% x $10,000) = $42,500 actual bonus.
- End-of-year true-up clause for executive officers: upon publication of audited financials for a given fiscal year, fourth quarter bonuses will be adjusted upward (or downward as far as zero Q4 bonus) so that the full-year actual bonuses paid reflect the full-year actual results achieved.
