At the 2017 annual meeting, the Companys stockholders approved
the Five Star Senior LivingInc. Management Incentive Plan, or the
MIP, the purpose of which is to encourage the executive officers
of the Company to continue their efforts for the Company by
providing opportunities for them to earn cash bonuses and
share-based awards which constitute qualified performance-based
compensation under Section162(m)of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. The performance objective under the MIP is the
Companys EBITDAR which is defined in the MIP as the Companys
earnings excluding interest expense, income tax provision or
benefit, depreciation and amortization expenses (including gain
or loss on sales of fixed assets), real estate rent expense, gain
or loss on extinguishment of debt, results of discontinued
operations, unusual or infrequently occurring items, executive
compensation under the MIP and litigation settlements. Each
element of EBITDAR will be calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The maximum amount
payable under the plan is 5% of EBITDAR for each twelve month
performance period under the MIP (which periods run annually from
October1 to the following September30). The Compensation has the
discretionary authority to reduce amounts otherwise payable to
MIP participants. Eligibility to participate in the MIP is
limited to individuals who are executive officers of the Company
on the date the Compensation Committee (which administers the
MIP) determines the participants in the MIP for the applicable
plan year. Participants in the MIP shall be selected by the
Compensation Committee from those executive officers. The MIP
will remain in effect until terminated by the Compensation
Committee or the Board of Directors.
