Annual Incentive Bonus Program Performance Criteria for FBFS Employees

Summary

This document outlines the Annual Incentive Bonus Program for employees of FBFS. The program bases bonus payouts on three equally weighted performance criteria: Top Line Growth, Adjusted Net Income, and Return on Equity. Bonus percentages are set by the Board and Compensation Committee, with eligibility requiring at least 30 hours of work per week, employment by October 1, and employment on the payout date. The program includes safeguards to ensure bonuses are only paid if net income after tax covers the total bonus amount. Promotions before October 1 affect bonus eligibility for that year.
