Summary of Compensatory Plans and Arrangements Adopted February 2, 2005
On February 2, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Juniper Networks, Inc. (the Company) met and (i) adopted the Companys 2005 Bonus Incentive Plan for Executive Officers (the Plan); (ii) approved certain bonus payments to 2004 executive officers under the 2004 executive officer bonus plan; and (iii) approved a bonus payment to Krishna Kittu Kolluri, in each case as summarized below.
i) 2005 Executive Officer Bonus Plan. The participants in the Plan are divided into two categories as follows:
Corporate Participants | Title | |
Scott Kriens James A. Dolce Robert R.B. Dykes Pradeep Sindhu | Chairman and CEO Executive Vice President, Field Operations Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Business Operations Vice Chairman and Chief Technology Officer | |
Business Team Participants | ||
Krishna Kittu Kolluri Carol Mills | Vice President and General Manager, Security Products Group Vice President and General Manager, Infrastructure Products Group |
The payment of bonuses under the Plan for all participants is based on performance against revenue, earnings and margin targets. The relative weighting of each metric varies between corporate and business team participants, such that corporate participant bonuses are based 50% on overall corporate performance and 25% on the performance of each business team. Business team participant bonuses are based 50% on overall corporate performance and 50% on the performance of their respective business team.
The target bonus of Scott Kriens is 150% of base salary. The target bonus for each other participant is 100% of base salary.
For each of the participants, a specified minimum achievement against all target metrics is required for any payment of bonuses. Overachievement of the target metrics can result in payment of bonuses in excess of the target bonus (up to a maximum of 200% of target bonus).
The final bonus for each participant, calculated as described above, is subject to adjustment. For corporate participants, those adjustments are based upon a combination of the companys performance compared to industry peers and individually set performance goals. For business team participants, the adjustments are based upon individually set performance goals.
