2018 Executive Incentive Plan
On April 2, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”)
of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ePlus inc. (the
“Company”) finalized the structure of cash incentive award
agreements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, under the
Company’s Executive Incentive Plan (the “EIP”), in which
Phillip G. Norton (President and Chief Executive Officer), Mark
P. Marron (Chief Operating Officer) and Elaine D. Marion (Chief
Financial Officer) will participate.
The awards to Messrs. Norton and Marron are designated as Covered
Awards (as defined in the EIP). The fiscal year 2018 performance
goals and their relative proportions, which are the same for all
three executives, are as follows:
2018 Performance Goals
Weighting
Earnings before tax
85%
Financing origination volume
15%
The Committee must certify in writing prior to payment of the
Covered Awards that the performance goals were met. Any awards
earned under the EIP will be paid in cash.
In calculating whether performance goals have been achieved,
actual results will be adjusted to exclude the following, as
applicable:
(i) the incentive compensation expensed by ePlus for
payments under the plan;
(ii) all items of revenue, gain or loss determined by the
ePlus Board of Directors to be extraordinary or unusual in
nature and not incurred or realized in the ordinary course
of business; and
(iii) any revenue, gain or loss attributable to the
business operations of any entity acquired by ePlus during
the 2018 fiscal year.
The cash incentive compensation for fiscal year 2018 can range
from $0 to a maximum of: for Mr. Norton, $300,000; for Mr.
Marron, $800,000; and for Ms. Marion, $415,000.
The award amount payable is a target award based on the level of
attainment of the applicable performance goals as set forth in
the participant’s award agreement. The Committee may not waive
or amend performance goals or increase the amount payable to
Covered Awards (as defined in the EIP) after the performance
goals have been established but has discretionary authority to
reduce the amount that would otherwise be payable with respect to
any award. In the event it is determined that an award was paid
based on incorrect financial results, the Committee may lower the
payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, require
the participant to reimburse the Company for any amount paid with
respect to such an award. Additionally, the EIP provides that
cash payments are subject to recovery by the Company to the
extent required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any
regulations promulgated thereunder.
