Assume for purposes of these examples that you are employed throughout 2024 and that your eligible target bonus amount (expressed on an annual basis) is $15,000 (which corresponds to a MIP Target of $7,500 for each 2024 MIP Component).
Example 1
If the Company achieves 115% of the Revenue factor and 100% of the Adjusted EBITDA factor for the H1 Component, your Bonus for the H1 Component would be paid out at 112.5% of your H1 2024 MIP Target:
Achievement Level Against Target
Payout Level
Weight
Weighted Factor (Payout Level*Weight)
Company Performance

62.5%

Combined Performance Factor (sum of the two
weighted factors)
112.5%
The Combined Performance Factor is then applied to your H1 2024 MIP Target for a Bonus payout of $8,437.50 (112.5% of $7,500).
Example 2
If the Company achieves 99% of the Revenue factor for the Full Year Component, your Bonus for the Full Year Component would be paid out at 75.5% of your Full Year Component MIP Target:
Achievement Level Against Target
Payout Level
Weight
Weighted Factor (Payout Level*Weight)
Company Performance

The Performance Factor is then applied to your Full Year 2024 MIP Target for a Bonus payout of $5,662.50 (75.5% of $7,500).
6.DETERMINATION OF ACHIEVEMENT; PAYMENT OF EARNED BONUSES
The Company expects that the assessment of achievement against Company Performance Factors for the 2024 MIP Periods and the payment of any Bonuses earned for the applicable 2024 MIP Periods will occur on the following timeframes:
•H1 Component: assessment of achievement against Company Performance Factors to be completed during the month of August 2024; any Bonus earned to be paid out via payroll before the end of that month.
•Full Year Component: assessment of achievement to be completed during the first quarter of 2025; any Bonus earned to be paid out via payroll by the end of that quarter.
The Company may adjust these timeframes at its discretion.
Achievement against the applicable Company Performance Factors for each of the 2024 MIP Periods is based on the Company’s financial performance for the H1 Component and Full Year Component, as applicable, and is determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has complete discretion to determine the MIP Targets and the extent to which they have been achieved, including discretion to adjust the MIP Targets and/or the achievement of the MIP Targets to address the impact of the following: mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; reorganizations; restructuring charges or transactions; extraordinary nonrecurring items; and other unexpected activities, developments, trends or events. The financial metrics used for purposes of the MIP Targets may be defined and/or calculated differently from similar metrics that the Company reports in its quarterly earnings releases and reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
7.GENERAL TERMS
If your base salary or eligible target bonus amount changes during either 2024 MIP Period, any Bonus amount you earn will be prorated based on the timing of such change. For purposes of this proration, changes that occur on or before the 15th of a given month will be considered to have been in effect for the full month, and changes that occur after the 15th of a month will be considered to take effect on the first of the immediately following month. For example, if your eligible target bonus amount increases from 15% to 20% on September 10, your FY 2024 Bonus amount would be calculated based on eight months of a 15% eligible target bonus amount and four months of a 20% eligible target bonus amount, whereas if the increase happens on September 20, your FY 2024 Bonus amount would be calculated based on nine months of a 15% eligible target bonus amount and three months of a 20% eligible target bonus amount.
If you take a leave of absence during 2024 that is longer than 45 days in either 2024 MIP Period (which days need not be consecutive), any Bonus you earn under for the affected 2024 MIP Period will be prorated based on the number of total days in excess of 45 days in your leave of absence during that MIP Period.
If you switch from a Sales Commission Plan to the 2024 MIP, or vice versa, any Bonus you earn for the applicable 2024 MIP Period will be prorated based on the timing of the change. Changes of this type will generally be effective on the first day of a specified month.
Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, any Bonus amount is not earned until it is determined based on the Company’s financial performance for the applicable 2024 MIP Period as approved by the Board or Compensation Committee. To receive any Bonus for a 2024 MIP Period, and unless prohibited by applicable law, you must be actively working for the Company at the time payment is made. The 2024 MIP is valid for 2024 only and will not continue to apply for future years.
Participants do not have any contractual or otherwise acquired right to MIP participation in any future years. Your participation in the 2024 MIP does not in any way imply, suggest or require that you will participate in any MIP or similar program for future years. There are no promises or guarantees of payments under the 2024 MIP, and the Company reserves the right to unilaterally alter or discontinue the program at its complete discretion, unless specifically prohibited under applicable law.
