PHARMERICA CORPORATION
SUMMARY OF
2012 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM CEO
AND
2012 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM
2012 Short-Term Incentive Program CEO
On January 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of PharMerica Corporation (the Corporation), upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the 2012 Short-Term Incentive Program (the CEO STIP) under the PharMerica Corporation 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the Omnibus Plan), for the Corporations Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gregory Weishar. The CEO STIP provides for a performance-based annual cash award to Mr. Weishar.
Performance Cycle. The CEO STIP performance cycle is for the current year, beginning on January 1, 2012 and ending on December 31, 2012.
Maximum Award. If the Corporations Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) is equal to or greater than a target Adjusted EBITDA for the 2012 fiscal year, then Mr. Weishar is eligible to receive a payment under the CEO STIP equal to the lesser of (i) 2% of Adjusted EBITDA for the 2012 fiscal year; or (ii) $2 million (the Maximum Award). The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may decrease the Maximum Award based on its assessment of the Corporations performance, the Chief Executive Officers individual performance, or any other factors it considers relevant, however in no event may the Compensation Committee reduce the Maximum Award below the annual bonus amount for the Chief Executive Officer (the Bonus Amount).
Bonus Amount. The target Bonus Amount for Mr. Weishar is 125% of 2012 Base Salary. 70% of the target Bonus Amount is based on the Corporations performance and 30% of the target Bonus Amount is based on individual performance goals. The Corporation must at least meet threshold Adjusted EBITDA of 80.0% of the target Adjusted EBITDA amount in order for any payment to be made under the individual performance-based component.
The Corporations performance will be measured by comparing the Corporations adjusted annual earnings before interest, taxes, integration, merger and acquisition related costs and other related charges, depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges of intangibles, and other accounting principle changes (Adjusted EBITDA), to a target Adjusted EBITDA for the entire 2012 fiscal year. Individual performance will be measured by comparing certain individual performance metrics to the target individual performance metrics determined by the Compensation Committee.
The actual Bonus Amount is based on the percentage of the performance target achieved. Generally, the percentage of the Bonus Amount earned at the end of the performance cycle will be determined according to the following schedule; however the actual Bonus Amount will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:
Performance Achievement | Payout Level | |
< 80.0% of Performance Target | 0.0% of Award Target | |
80.0% of Performance Target | 40.0% of Award Target | |

2012 Short-Term Incentive Program Other Named Executive Officers
On January 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the 2012 Short-Term Incentive Program (the STIP) under the Omnibus Plan. The STIP provides for performance-based annual cash awards to the Corporations executive officers, and certain other officers and employees of the Corporation. The STIP advances the Corporations commitment to performance-based compensation practices by providing participants an opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses upon achievement of certain pre-established short-term performance objectives.
Eligibility. Officers and employees of the Corporation may receive STIP cash awards as determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.
Performance Cycle. The STIP performance cycle is for the current year, beginning on January 1, 2012 and ending on December 31, 2012.
Award Targets. The amount of the awards under the STIP are based on individual participant bonus targets. Individual participant bonus targets are established for each participant by the Compensation Committee, in the case of the senior executive officers reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, and by the Chief Executive Officer, for other participants, based upon a determination of the appropriate bonus target amounts which will enable the Corporation to remain competitive, to retain and recruit top employees, and to align such employees interests with certain strategic initiatives of the Corporation. Individual non-executive participant bonus targets range from 5% to 100% of base salary on December 31, 2012, with targets for the Corporations executive officers between 25% and 125% of base salary.
The Compensation Committee established the bonus targets under the STIP for the Corporations fiscal 2011 Named Executive Officers, other than the principal executive officer, as follows:
Executive | Title | Bonus Target | ||
Michael J. Culotta | Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer | 80% of base salary | ||
William Monast | Executive Vice President of Sales and Client Management | 75% of base salary | ||
Robert McKay | Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Trade Relations | 65% of base salary | ||
Thomas Caneris | Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary | 70% of base salary |
Performance Criteria. The performance criteria under the STIP is divided into a company performance-based component and individual/group performance-based component for different employees. The breakdown for the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, is as set forth in the chart below. The Corporation must at least meet threshold Adjusted EBITDA of 80.0% of target in order for any payment to be made under the individual/group performance-based components of the STIP; provided, however, that employees below Vice President may receive payment under the individual/group performance-based component of the STIP if the threshold Adjusted EBITDA is not met.
Executive | Title | Company Performance | Individual/Group Performance | |||||||
Michael J. Culotta | Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer | 70 | % | 30 | % | |||||
William Monast | Executive Vice President of Sales and Client Management | 70 | % | 30 | % | |||||
Robert McKay | Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Trade Relations | 50 | % | 50 | % | |||||
Thomas Caneris | Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary | 50 | % | 50 | % |
Under the STIP, company performance will be measured by comparing the Corporations Adjusted EBITDA, to a target Adjusted EBITDA for the entire 2012 fiscal year. Individual/group performance will be measured by comparing certain individual/group performance metrics to target individual/group performance metrics established by the Corporations Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer for the Named Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.
Award Payouts. Award payout levels are based on the percentage of the performance target achieved. Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle will be determined according to the following schedule; however the actual award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:
Performance Achievement | Payout Level | |
< 80.0% of Performance Target | 0.0% of Award Target | |
80.0% of Performance Target | 40.0% of Award Target | |

The Corporation is entitled to withhold from any payments of awards under the STIP any and all amounts required to be withheld for federal, state and local withholding taxes. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to change terms and conditions of STIP awards as it deems necessary to ensure that the STIP awards satisfy all requirements for performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
