Total 2017 Target Amount
 
 
 
$191,984
 
 
 
(1)    The 2017 annual cash bonus target amount is equal to $191,984, which is 25 percent of Mr. Roth’s base salary per his employment agreement. The actual bonus may range from 0% to 150% of the portion of the target amount allocated to that goal. Based on the Executive Compensation Committee's determination of the level of achievement of each performance goal, the amount payable with respect to that goal will be as follows:

● If the goal is attained at target level, 100 percent of the allocated amount will be paid.
● If the goal is only attained at the minimum level, then 50 percent of the allocated amount will be paid.
● If the goal is attained at or above maximum level, then 150 percent of the allocated amount will be paid.
● Should the actual level of attainment of any such performance goal be between two of the designated levels, then the bonus potential with respect to that goal will be interpolated on a straight-line basis.
● For a goal that does not have a minimum threshold, no amount will be paid if the goal attained is below the target level.        
        
(2)     "San Jose Water Capital Additions" means San Jose Water Company's capital expenditures made in 2017, including expenditures for improvements to the Montevina Treatment Plant and the cost to retire facilities and excluding expenditures made in connection with IRS bonus depreciation infrastructure reinvestments.    
        
(3)    Target is achieved if the Company does not receive a citation during the performance period for violating health-related drinking water standards and treatment techniques specified in the U.S. National Primary Drinking Water Regulations and California Code of Regulations Title 22, Chapter 15. The goal does not take into account additional parameters regulated by other states, nor does it include violations of monitoring requirements. Maximum Performance will be achieved if the Company does not receive a citation during the performance period for violating health-related drinking water standards and treatment techniques and secondary maximum contaminant criteria. The secondary contaminant criteria are associated with the aesthetic quality of drinking water and do not pose a threat to public health at regulated levels.
