Rewards - Compensation

Special 2015 Performance Acceleration Bonus Plan

Executive Officers

    

 

Purpose    The Special 2015 Performance Acceleration Bonus is intended to incentivize and reward strong financial performance for the first half of 2015.
Eligibility   

These guidelines apply to Executive Officers.

 

To receive payment under the Performance Acceleration Bonus Plan, the participant must be actively employed as of the end of Q2 2015 and must be considered meeting or exceeding performance expectations under the 2015 mid-year performance review process.

Plan Design   

The plan pays up to 50% of an individual’s annual Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) target if:

 

•       Performance is above threshold for EPS for the first half of the 2015 fiscal year, and

 

•       An individual is a member of an operating segment that achieved its fully allocated operating profit budget in the first half of the 2015 fiscal year.

 

For corporate employees who are not directly associated with a single operating segment, the eligibility criterion with respect to meeting first half fully allocated operating profit will be waived subject to the mechanism described below:

 

•       The maximum bonus that can be earned will be calculated under the following formula: annual target bonus X 50% X “blended operating segment performance factor” in %. The “blended operating segment performance factor” is calculated as follows: sum of budgeted first half operating profit for all operating segments that achieved or exceeded the first half budget / the total first half fully allocated operating profit budget.

 

Payout

 

•       A threshold and target level of performance will be established. A bonus pool will be calculated per the below schedule.
