• | Bonus Compensation. You will be eligible for a full year target incentive of $382,500.00, provided that your 2020 incentive will be prorated based on your start date. Your incentive will be based on corporate objectives, as determined by PROS Chief Executive Officer each year. |
• | Equity. PROS will issue you $4,000,000 USD in Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) vesting 25% annually on each anniversary of your start date.
