[YEAR] STORE SUPPORT CENTER (SSC) BONUS PROGRAM USA-CAN Director & Executive |
Program Objective
All team members and leaders play a vital role in helping Savers achieve our core purpose. The SSC Bonus Program is one way that we recognize and reward the day-to-day contributions that SSC team members make toward our success.
Annual Bonus Target
ELIGIBLE ROLE | ANNUAL BONUS TARGET % OF BASE SALARY | ||||
[____] | [____] |
•The annual bonus target for eligible team members is a percentage (%) of base salary effective the last day of the calendar year of the performance period, also considered the last day of the bonus plan year.
•[Bonus target is split between cash and equity.]
•[Equity is awarded in RSU’s as a dollar value and will be converted into # shares at the time of the award.]
•The individual bonus target for each eligible role is tied to job level. If a team member moves into a job with a different bonus target during the calendar year, the annual bonus will be pro-rated based on the number of days during the calendar year in each eligible position at each target rate.
Team Member Eligibility
•All bonus eligibility is based on each team members’ official employment record in the HR system.
•The performance period for bonus eligibility is the calendar year that coincides with the fiscal performance.
•The bonus opportunity will be prorated based upon the number of days they are in the eligible role and meet the eligibility requirements.
•Eligible Roles: Temporary team members, contractors and consultants are not eligible for the SSC bonus.
•New Hires, Promotions, Transfers, Demotions: Bonuses will be pro-rated based on the number of calendar days in a bonus eligible role during the calendar year. The new bonus opportunity will be applied effective and prorated based on the day of the change. If a team member has two or more different bonus levels during the plan year based on eligibility changes, the salary and role in effect on the last day of each bonus level will determine the bonus target and bonus metrics for that period of time. The year end result for each metric is determined and prorated accordingly based on length of time in each eligible role.
•Leaves of Absence: Bonus payment is prorated based on the number of calendar days not actively at work for leaves of absence longer than 6 months. For the USA and Canada, time not actively at work is designated by leave of absence status in the HR system.
•Team members must be employed at the time of bonus payment to be eligible for the bonus unless otherwise required by law. Team members who resign from their employment before the bonus is paid are not entitled to the bonus. In Canada, if a team member’s employment is terminated by the Company, and if the bonus payout date falls within the minimum statutory notice period they are entitled to upon termination, pursuant to applicable employment standards legislation, then they are considered actively employed and eligible for the bonus.

•Management is responsible for the accuracy of team member records in the HR system. Bonuses will be paid based on HR system records.
Bonus Metrics
•All bonus metrics are determined based on year-end performance when calculating bonus payment.
•The SSC bonus payout is determined by the annual measurement of [adjusted EBITDA]1. EBITDA stands for Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization. Annual results compared to the annual target correspond to a payout on the EBITDA portion of the bonus. EBITDA begins to pay out at [__]% achievement of the annual target. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by Savers as net income excluding the impact of interest expense, net income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, lease intangible asset expense, transaction costs, dividend-related bonuses, (gain) loss on foreign currency, and certain other adjustments.
•Certain roles replace EBITDA with other profit metrics. These roles are described on the payout scale page in this document.
•Some functions or departments have a functional goal in addition to EBITDA. If there is a functional goal, [__]% of the bonus is determined by EBITDA performance, and [__]% by functional goal performance. EBITDA must achieve at least [__]% of the annual target to fund payment of functional goal achievement. Teams with functional goals are listed below. Savers will determine and publish the partial and full goal achievement thresholds. The functional goal applies to all team members in the organization of the functional executive/director listed. If there is no functional goal, then EBITDA is the only metric for bonus determination.
•In the case of new hires, promotions, transfers, and demotions, the year end result for each metric is determined, and prorated accordingly based on length of time in each eligible role per the eligibility rules for the plan.

•The target bonus is calculated based on the bonus opportunity for your role(s) as described in the Annual Bonus Opportunity section and applying the rules in the Team Member Eligibility and Bonus Metrics sections.

•Once the metric results are finalized, each metric will be calculated individually based upon the metric weighting. The metric result determines the percent of payout from the payout scale, which determines the bonus earned for that metric.

•[Equity bonuses will be granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSU’s) with a one-year cliff vesting and are subject to the terms of the Omnibus RSU Grant Agreement and the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The number of units granted shall be determined by dividing the equity bonus earned by the closing price of the stock on the day of the grant.]
