Compensation Data
    Annual Target Pay: $120,000
 
    Annual Guaranteed Pay: $100,000
 
    Monthly Target Pay: $10,000
 
    Monthly Guaranteed Pay: $8,333
Example #1
    YTD EBT Plan: $1,000,000
 
    YTD EBT Actual: $1,100,000
 
    Percent of Plan Attained: $1,100,000 / $1,000,000 = 110%
 
    Incentive Payout: (110% x $10,000) — $8,333 = $2,667
Example #2
    YTD EBT Plan: $1,000,000
 
    YTD EBT Actual: $900,000
 
    Percent of Plan Attained: $900,000 / $1,000,000 = 90%
 
    Incentive Payout: (90% x $10,000) — $8,333 = $667
Example #3 (CapEx)
    Annual Target Pay: $120,000
 
    CapEx Plan: $25,000,000
 
    CapEx Actual: $24,752,475
 
    Percent of Plan Attained: $25,000,000 / $24,752,475 = 1.01 (or 101%)
 
    Favorable to Plan: 1.01 — 1.00 = .01 (or 1%)
 
    Incentive Payout: 1% x $120,000 = $1,200

 


 

Administration
CapEx / EBT Performance
    If CapEx Actual vs. Plan is unfavorable during the year, the company may withhold payout on the EBT component to offset the future negative variance.
Payout Timing
    All payouts for the monthly incentive will be made via the payroll run which follows the month-end close (24th of the following month). The incentive amount reflects the previous month’s YTD performance.
 
    Any year-end CapEx incentive will be made via the payroll run which follows the December month-end close, typically January 24th of the following year.
Plan Eligibility
    Eligibility for a payout is cancelled when a plan participant voluntarily or involuntarily terminates employment before the payout date.
 
    If the plan participant moves to a new position during the period, which has a different target pay opportunity, any incentive payments will be prorated for time in the respective positions.
 
    Newly hired or promoted plan participants are eligible for plan participation beginning with the first day of the month following their hire date.
 
    A pro-rated payment of the earned monthly incentive payout will be made if plan participant dies or becomes disabled during the eligibility period.
Approvals
    All payouts must to be approved by the Performance Pay Committee of Life Time Fitness, Inc.
 
    The Performance Pay Committee of Life Time Fitness, Inc. must approve any and all exceptions to this plan in advance of any incentive payout.
