Payment Structure:

 

The payment structure is different than prior quarters and allows for significantly more upside as follows:

 

·                  We will continue to have a 90% new bookings threshold to trigger the quarterly MBB at 90%, then

·                  100% of total product bookings will equate to a 100% payment of the quarterly MBB

·                  104% of total product bookings will equate to a 104% payment of the quarterly MBB

·                  105% of total product bookings will equate to a 125% payment of the quarterly MBB

·                  109% of total product bookings will equate to a 129% payment of the quarterly MBB

·                  110% of total product bookings will equate to a 176% payment of the quarterly MBB

·                  115% of total product bookings will equate to a 184% payment of the quarterly MBB

·                  120% of total product bookings will equate to a 192% payment of the quarterly MBB

·                  125% of total product bookings will equate to a 200% payment of the quarterly MBB (consistent with previous quarters the capped total award is at 125%)

·                  “Tiers” are linear and percentages in between will have a proportionate payment (by way of example 108% will pay out at 128%)

 

Anticipated Payout Date:

 

2 to 3 pay periods after close of quarter
