In determining annual cash bonus incentive payments for the Company’s Current Named Executive Officers at the end of the year, the Compensation Committee bases its decisions on a number of factors, including achievement of pre-established Company financial goals for each of the Current Named Executive Officers and additionally, pre-established individual goals and objectives based on the Company's strategy for the Company's chief executive officer. If the Company exceeds its goals or the chief executive officer exceeds his established goals, the annual cash bonus incentive could be subject to increase by the Compensation Committee, up to a maximum of 200% of the executive’s bonus target.
Additional information regarding compensation of the Current Named Executive Officers will be included in the Company’s 2020 Proxy Statement when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
