Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The plan is designed to motivate executives to achieve long-term financial success through adjusted EBITDA targets.
Contingencies and Risks:
- Forfeiture: Rights to accrued but unpaid amounts are generally forfeited if employment is terminated before payment dates, unless termination is due to death, disability, or without "cause."
- Change in Control: In the event of a change in control, EBITDA thresholds will be determined by the Committee based on the most recent projection or budget. Earned bonuses must be paid within 60 days.
- Clawback and Tax: Awards are subject to company clawback policies and a "best of net" provision to address Section 280G parachute payments.
