    (e) On January 13, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a long-term cash incentive performance award plan (the “Plan”) for executive officers of the Company. Under the Plan, participants may earn a cash long-term incentive award with a target value of 100% of their annual base salary in effect for 2021, with aggregate possible payouts ranging from 0% to 125% of such base salary, depending on the Company’s relative adjusted operating margin performance as compared to an industry peer group of publicly traded airlines over two-year and three-year performance periods ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Plan payouts, if any, will be made promptly following the date after which all applicable peer companies have reported on SEC Form 10-K with respect to their 2022 and 2023 fiscal periods, to those participants employed by the Company on the respective payment date.
