Executive Annual Incentive Program

The Board approved the adoption of an Executive Annual Incentive Program, which provides for a cash bonus to our executive team, including our named executive officers, upon achievement of specific performance milestones. The objective of the Executive Annual Incentive Program is to reward achievement of annual financial performance goals, and to establish appropriate company performance expectations to ensure executives are accountable for the Company’s continued growth and financial performance.

Performance measures and goals for determining named executive officers’ fiscal year 2022 annual incentive awards are based on the Company’s achievement of financial performance goals, including organic revenue growth, net bookings, and adjusted EBITDA. For each performance measure, 100% of the bonus opportunity will be paid with respect to such metric if target performance is achieved. Payout begins at 25% of target for both net bookings and adjusted EBITDA while payout begins at 50% of target for organic revenue growth. All payouts max out at 200% of target. No bonus will be allocated to a performance measure if minimum threshold results are not achieved.

The Executive Annual Incentive Program will be administered by the Compensation Committee.
