Material Changes and Compensation Structure
The bonus structure for fiscal 2018 consisted of two components: an 80% Company-wide performance component and a 20% individual performance component. The Company-wide component was weighted 20% on revenue targets and 80% on non-GAAP earnings per share targets. The payout scale ranged from 0% (for less than 80% target achievement) to 200% (for 120% target achievement). In December 2018, 80% of the target bonuses were paid based on unaudited nine-month results and projections. The remaining balance was approved on February 18, 2019, following the determination of actual fiscal 2018 performance.

It notes that the final bonus amounts were determined after the filing of the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The text does not provide a clear value for the specific revenue or non-GAAP EPS targets achieved, only the resulting bonus payments.
