Example 1: If the 2013 Proforma EPS is $3.27, the percentage of Earned RSUs would be 60% plus an additional percentage calculated as follows: (a) the amount by which 2013 Proforma EPS exceeds the highest applicable EPS Threshold multiplied by (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 10% and the (ii) denominator of which is the difference between the highest applicable EPS Threshold and the next-highest EPS Threshold that was exceeded (in this example, $3.29 - $3.21 = $0.08):
$0.06 (10%/$0.08) = 7.5%
The resulting percentage of Earned RSUs correlating to an EPS of $3.27 would be 67.5%. If the Award were 1,000 RSUs, the number of Earned RSUs would be 67.5% of 1,000, or 675 RSUs. The number of forfeited RSUs would be 1,000 minus 675, or 325. The Earned RSUs would be subject to the vesting according to the schedule specified in Section 1.2(b) of this Agreement.

Example 1: For fiscal year 2013, the $4.00 EPS Threshold was not met or exceeded. For fiscal year 2014, the Company’s Pro Forma EPS is $5.00. Because $5.00 is equal to the $5.00 EPS Threshold and greater than the $4.00 EPS Threshold, and because the $4.00 EPS Threshold was not previously met or exceeded, 66% (the corresponding vesting percentages for the $4.00 EPS Threshold and the $5.00 EPS Threshold, added together) of the RSUs vest effective February 1, 2015. If the Award were 1,000 RSUs, then 660 RSUs would vest effective February 1, 2015. |
Example 2: For fiscal year 2013, the Company’s Pro Forma EPS is $4.50. Because $4.50 is higher than the $4.00 EPS Threshold, 33% of the RSUs vest effective February 1, 2014. If the Award were 1,000 RSUs, then 330 RSUs would vest on February 1, 2014. For fiscal year 2014, the Company’s earnings per share again is $4.50. While $4.50 is higher than the $4.00 EPS Threshold, 33% of the RSUs already vested because the Company’s earnings per share exceeded the $4.00 EPS Threshold for fiscal year 2013. Therefore, no additional RSUs vest effective February 1, 2015. For fiscal year 2015, the Company’s Pro Forma EPS is $6.00. Because EPS met or exceeded $6.00, all remaining RSUs, or 670 RSUs, vest effective February 1, 2016. |
