Performance Criteria
General
The Performance Shares shall be earned as set forth below with respect to the applicable Performance Period; provided that the Company’s RONA for the applicable Performance Period equals or exceeds the Target RONA (as defined below) for such Performance Period. “RONA” means the quotient obtained by dividing “Adjusted Operating Income” (after taxes but excluding amortization) by the monthly average of “Working Capital” and fixed assets, as derived from the Company’s financial statements, with such adjustments as the Committee establishes in writing at the time it establishes the Target RONA, Threshold RONA and Maximum RONA for such Performance Period. “Adjusted Operating Income” for this purpose means income from operations adjusted to remove primarily restructuring charges. “Working Capital” for this purpose means the average of adjusted current assets less adjusted current liabilities, which measures exclude cash and cash equivalents, debt and items reported as held for sale.
“Target RONA”, “Threshold RONA” and “Maximum RONA”, in each case means the specific fiscal year-over-year improvement in RONA, expressed as a percentage, established by the Committee for the applicable Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s RONA for the Performance Period exceeds Threshold RONA, but does not meet the percentage for Target RONA or Maximum RONA, then the Performance Shares award for such Performance Period shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis between Threshold RONA and Maximum RONA. For the avoidance of doubt, if RONA for the Performance Period is below Threshold RONA, no Performance Shares shall be granted for such Performance Period.
The Committee will develop the performance criteria for the subsequent Performance Period within the time period for developing performance goals under the regulations under Code Section 162(m). An amended Exhibit A describing the performance criteria for that Performance Period will be provided to each Participant prior to the end of the first quarter of that Performance Period and will automatically become a part of this Agreement.
