Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 2, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Blucora, Inc. (the Company) approved the 2017 Executive Bonus Plan (the 2017 Plan). The 2017 Plan provides for annual performance-based cash bonuses to the Companys executive officers. The target bonus amount for individual executive officers varies between 50% and 200% of each executives annual base salary.
The available bonus for each executive is based on the Companys achievement of certain specified financial or operational performance measurements. The specific measures for the financial or operational performance components vary by executive, but may include overall Company Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (as further specified in the 2017 Plan) and/or certain measurements that are specific to the business unit for which the individual executive is responsible.
The performance targets established for the 2017 Bonus Plan correspond to the operating plan targets approved by the Companys Board of Directors. The range of possible bonus component achievement is 0% to 150% of the target. The 2017 Plan further provides, however, that the 2017 bonus payments for the new President of TaxAct and the new Chief Executive Officer of HD Vest will be pro-rated to reflect the number of days of the executives employment in 2017 and will be no lower than the pro-rated amount of the executives target bonus.
The foregoing description of the 2017 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of this plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
