Summary of
Fiscal 2012 Management Incentive Plan
for Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc.
Pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors of Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (the “Company”), on June 24, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s fiscal 2012 management incentive plan, pursuant to which cash bonuses for the Company’s executive officers will be determined for fiscal 2012. Under the management incentive plan, target payout opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary, with threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities expressed as a percentage of the target award (actual payouts may generally range anywhere between the threshold and maximum percentages). No cash bonuses will be paid if threshold performance is not achieved. All executive officer payouts are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.
Bonus amounts will vary depending on the Company’s performance against target goals. If the Company achieves (a) the threshold level, the participant would be eligible for 50% of the target bonus, (b) the target level, the participant would be eligible for 100% of the target bonus, and (c) the maximum level, the participant would be eligible for 200% of the target bonus. The actual bonus paid may be varied up to 20% higher or lower based on a subjective assessment of the individual’s performance and contribution to achieving the Company’s goals.
Payout opportunities are set at performance levels that, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee, will facilitate the Company’s overall growth and performance. In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, adjust the target performance measures to exclude one-time, non-operating items that may occur during the performance period.
