Participate in the Company’s management incentive
compensation plans (the “Plans” or “MIP I” or “MIP II”) for 2017 to determine cash incentives to the Company’s 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan. He will be eligible to receive a target payout of 60% of his annualized base salary. The MIP I Plan covers 80% of the target payout. The MIP I sets goals of pre-tax earnings on a quarterly and annual basis. Participants will begin to earn the incentive pay once at least 80% of a goal is met increasing up to 125% of the pre-tax goal. There is a 3% change in the incentive pay earned for every 1% increase or decrease in actual pre-tax earnings versus the goal with the incentive pay potential ranging from 40% to 175% of the earnings target payout amount. Pre-tax earnings for comparison to the goal will be that amount reported in the annual Form 10-K, adjusted to eliminate the effects of asset impairments, restructurings, acquisitions, divestitures, other unusual or non-recurring items, store closing costs, and the cumulative effect of accounting changes, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable. The MIP II Plan, which does not provide for above target payouts, covers the remaining 20% of the potential target payout. The MIP II Plan is earned for achieving additional performance criteria or specific projects or initiatives tailored to each person as approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has discretion in the administration of the Plans. |
