RetailMeNot, Inc.

2015 Bonus Plan

(Team Member)

Overview

RetailMeNot, Inc. and its affiliated companies (the “Company”) are committed to sharing their success with the people who make it possible — the Company’s Team Members. The purpose of this 2015 Bonus Plan (this “Plan”) is to encourage the Company’s Team Members to contribute to the achievement of the Company’s goals and to share in the rewards of the Company’s success. The term of this Plan is for the 2015 fiscal year.

Eligible Team Members

To be eligible to participate in the Plan, a Team Member must be a regular full-time employee of the Company. Each Team Member’s aggregate annual target bonus shall be communicated in the Team Member’s 2015 Bonus Plan Summary.

Weighting and Payment

The bonus amounts earned will be paid within 2.5 months following the end of the year after completion of the audit of the 2015 financial statements. Weighting percentages for each Team Member’s Individual Performance Rating and Net Revenues Targets are identified in the Team Member’s 2015 Bonus Plan Summary.

Individual Performance Rating

A Team Member’s Individual Performance Rating is based on their performance against individual goals, the competencies established for the Team Member’s role and the Company’s core values. A Team Member’s performance with respect to the competencies and core values is evaluated once a year at year-end, and assigned a rating of 1-5 by the Team Member’s manager. Individual goals are reviewed twice annually as approved by the Team Member’s manager, with performance evaluated at mid-year and year-end and assigned a rating of 1-5 by the Team Member’s manager. These goals may in some cases be metrics-based and therefore subject to a quantitative performance measurement. At year-end, a final performance rating of 1-5 is assigned to the Team Member based on these evaluations (the “Individual Performance Rating”).

Net Revenue Elements

Consolidated Net Revenues mean the corresponding amount as reported in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the full fiscal year 2015, excluding (1) the amount of Consolidated Mobile Net Revenues and (2) the impact of any acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2015. The target for this element is the corresponding amount per the Company’s annual budget approved by the Board of Directors during the first fiscal quarter of 2015.

Country Net Revenues mean the corresponding amount as derived from the Company’s Statements of Operations for the full fiscal year 2015 for only the primary country for which the Team Member’s duties are performed, excluding (1) the amount of Country Mobile Net Revenues and (2) the impact of any acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2015. The target for this element is the corresponding amount derived from the annual budget approved by the Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2015. NOTE: Certain Team Members with multi-country duties will have a Regional Net Revenues target, as defined below, in lieu of Country Net Revenues target.

Payout Formula

The payout under this Plan will be determined as follows:

NOTE: Discussion of Country/Regional and Consolidated Net Revenue Bonus elements below is intended to incorporate the calculations of (1) Country/Regional Net Revenue and Consolidated Net Revenue bonus elements and (2) Country/Regional Mobile Net Revenue and Consolidated Mobile Net Revenue bonus elements.

 

  A. Adjusted EBITDA Performance Gate

If consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is less than 70% of the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA target, the percentage payout for all bonus elements (Individual, Country/Regional and Consolidated) will be 0%.

 

  B. Base Bonus

Individual Performance Rating

At the conclusion of the year-end review, the Individual Performance Rating will be used to determine a percentage payout for bonus purposes according to the table below. Overachievement will be capped at 150%. The payout percentage will be multiplied by the weighting percentage for the Individual Performance Rating set forth in the Team Member’s 2015 Bonus Plan Summary to determine the percentage of the Individual Performance Rating earned.

Performance Rating Payout Table

 

Rating

   

Rating Description

   

Payout %

     
1    Unsatisfactory    0%   
2    Needs improvement    50% - 85%   
3    Successful    90% - 110%

Net Revenues Targets

Country/Regional and Consolidated Net Revenues

 

  1. The actual amounts for each of the Country/Regional and Consolidated Net Revenues will be divided by the applicable target to determine a percentage achievement for each. These percentages achieved will be applied as set forth below to determine the percentage payout. If the actual Country/Regional and/or Consolidated Net Revenues is less than 70% of the applicable Net Revenues target, the percentage payout for the Country/Regional and/or Consolidated Net Revenues target, as applicable, will be 0%

If the percentage achieved falls between two table results, the percentage payout will be extrapolated. For example, 98% achievement would result in 96% payout since each percentage point drop in achievement between 95% and 100% results in a two percentage point drop in percentage payout.

  2. The percentage payout of each applicable Country/Regional and Consolidated Net Revenues Element will be multiplied by the applicable Net Revenues weighting percentage as set forth in the Team Member’s 2015 Bonus Plan Summary to determine the percentage of each Net Revenues Element earned.

Country/Regional and Mobile Consolidated Net Revenues

 

  1. The actual amounts for each of the Country/Regional and Consolidated Mobile Net Revenues will be divided by the applicable target to determine a percentage achievement for each. These percentages achieved will be applied as set forth below to determine the percentage payout. If the actual Country/Regional and/or Consolidated Mobile Net Revenues is less than 70% of the applicable Mobile Net Revenues target, the percentage payout with respect to the Country/Regional and/or Consolidated Mobile Net Revenues target, as applicable, will be 0%

If the percentage achieved falls between two table results, the percentage payout will be extrapolated. For example, 98% achievement would result in 96% payout since each percentage point drop in achievement between 95% and 100% results in a two percentage point drop in percentage payout.

  C. Net Revenues Accelerator Bonus

The Net Revenues Accelerator Bonus can be earned at both the Country/Regional and Consolidated level. In the event that both the Country/Regional and Consolidated Net Revenues exceed their respective targets, the calculation of the payout will be performed using the Country/Regional percentage payout for the Country/Regional Net Revenue Element and the Consolidated percentage payout for the Consolidated Net Revenue Element.

To be eligible for a Net Revenues Accelerator Bonus all of the following must be true:

 

  1. the actual Country/Regional or Consolidated Net Revenues must exceed the applicable target (i.e., one or the other or both could be earned or not earned);

 

  2. the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA must be greater than or equal to 90% of the target; and

 

  3. the Team Member’s Individual Performance Rating percentage payout must be at least 3.

Country/Regional Net Revenues Accelerator Calculation: The Country/Regional Net Revenues Accelerator will be calculated on a linear basis and applied to the country/regional portion of the base bonus up to 50% of the Team Member’s Country/Regional Net Revenues Bonus target (e.g., if Country/Regional Net Revenues vs. Target is equal to 105.7%, the additional bonus would be equal to the Country/Regional Base Bonus times 5.7%.

Consolidated Net Revenues Accelerator Calculation: The Consolidated Net Revenues Accelerator Bonus will be calculated as follows:

 

  1. Over-performance against the Consolidated Net Revenues target earns a Team Member Additional Bonus percentage points as set forth below.

 

Consolidated Net

Revenues vs. Target  (1)

      Additional Bonus (2)     Consolidated Net
Revenues vs. Target (1)		     Additional Bonus (2)  
  >=1%         2.5 %      >=19 %      93.1 % 
  >=2%         5.0 %      >=20 %      100.0 % 
  >=3%         7.5 %      >=21 %      106.7 % 
  >=4%         10.0 %      >=22 %      113.3 % 
  >=5%         12.5 %      >=23 %      120.0 % 
  >=6%         15.0 %      >=24 %      126.7 % 
  >=7%         20.0 %      >=25 %      133.3 % 
  >=8%         25.0 %      >=26 %      140.0 % 
  >=9%         30.0 %      >=27 %      146.7 % 
  >=10%         35.0 %      >=28 %      153.3 % 
  >=11%         40.0 %      >=29 %      160.0 % 
  >=12%         45.0 %      >=30 %      166.7 % 
  >=13%         51.9 %      >=31 %      173.3 %

  >=14%         58.8 %      >=32 %      180.0 % 
  >=15%         65.6 %      >=33 %      186.7 %

  >=17%         79.4 %      >=35 %      200.0 % 
  >=18%         86.3 %     

 

(1) Percentage by which actual Consolidated Net Revenues exceeds Target Consolidated Net Revenues.
(2) The additional bonus percentage will be multiplied by the actual Consolidated Net Revenues Element. For example, if actual Consolidated Net Revenues exceeds Target by 16%, the Consolidated Net Revenues Bonus would be calculated by multiplying the Consolidated Net Revenues Element by 172.5% (i.e. 100% represents the Consolidated Net Revenues Base amount and 72.5% represents the Consolidated Net Revenues Accelerator amount).

 

  2. The Accelerator portion of both the Consolidated and Country/Region is capped at the percentage set forth in the Team Member’s 2015 Bonus Plan Summary.

 

  3. The Accelerator described herein should be applied in a like manner to the Country/Region and Consolidated Mobile Net Revenues if they exceed their respective targets.
