- Target (100% of Budget): $3,300 total funding ($1,650 per objective).
- Maximum (110% of Revenue Target): $6,600 total funding ($4,950 for revenue; $1,650 cap for operating income).
- Executive Target Bonus Percentages (of Base Salary):
- President and CEO: 85%

- 2019 PRU Performance Measures:

- Earnings Target (40% weight): Annual consolidated EPS or income before taxes for the award year.
Material Changes and Plan Modifications
The Board modified the standard LTIP structure for the 2019 PRUs to place greater emphasis on revenue growth:
- Weighting Shift: Changed the PRU performance split from 50% Revenue/50% Earnings to 60% Revenue/40% Earnings.
- Upside Potential: Decided to allow increased share settlement only for exceeding the Revenue Target, removing the upside multiplier for the Earnings Target.
- Role Expansion: Jack E. Jerrett was appointed Chief Compliance Officer in addition to his role as Senior Vice President and General Counsel, resulting in a target bonus increase from 35% to 40% of base salary.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide specific financial guidance or outlook for the company's future performance. However, it notes the following regarding risks and contingencies:
- Discretionary Adjustments: The Compensation Committee and Board retain the right to adjust bonus pool funding by +/- 10% of the formula amount and may reject or alter awards based on business conditions.
- Clawback Policy: All bonus awards and equity awards are subject to the Company's Compensation Recoupment Policy.
- Equity Adjustments: Award terms may be adjusted to reflect unusual events such as mergers, recapitalizations, or changes in common stock.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific 2020 budget targets for consolidated revenue and operating income to understand the baseline for the $3,300 target bonus pool.
- Review the 2019 PRU grant date and stock price to calculate the potential equity value for executives.
- Monitor future filings for actual 2020 performance against the Threshold (90%), Target (100%), and Maximum (110%) revenue levels.
- Confirm if the Board exercises its +/- 10% discretionary adjustment on the bonus pool in the final 2020 compensation report.
