Also during the meeting held on February 14, 2017, the Board of
Directors of the Company, upon recommendation of the Compensation
Committee, established award eligibility and fixed annual
performance targets for the below-named officers under the
Companys short-term incentive program. The Companys short-term
incentive program focuses on achievement of certain annual
financial goals for operating income and revenue growth, as well
as successful execution of key strategic initiatives and
achievement of personal performance goals established for the
evaluation period.
Under the short-term incentive program, individual plan
participants are eligible to receive incentive compensation based
on a target percentage of their base salary. The amount payable
is determined based upon the weighted average percentage
achievement of the financial, strategic and personal performance
goals established for the annual plan period. Subject to certain
minimum thresholds, achievement below 50% of goal on a combined
basis results in payout of less than the target award, and
achievement of greater than 50% of goal on a combined basis
results in a payout of greater than the target award, with a
maximum award of 125% of targeted payout. The target award amount
applicable to each of our named executive officers is set forth
