Adjustments Based on EPS Goals. The Target Amount of units will initially be adjusted based upon performance against the average of the yearly EPS goals, as certified by the Committee (the “Adjusted EPS Units”). Fiscal year and fiscal year EPS goals will result in the following adjustment: 0% if performance is below the threshold level, 50% if performance is at the threshold level, 100% if performance is at target level, 200% if performance is above target, and 300% if performance is at or above the maximum level. Fiscal year EPS goals will result in the following adjustment: 0% if performance is below the threshold level, 25% if performance is at the threshold level, 50% if performance is at the below target level, 100% if performance is at the target level, 200% if performance is at the above target level, and 300% if performance is at or above the maximum level. For performance that falls among any of the attainment levels between the threshold level and the maximum level, a proportionate percentage will be applied based on straight-line interpolation between the attainment levels. At the end of the Performance Period each individual year’s EPS performance will be added together and then divided by three to determine the average EPS performance for the Performance Period, which will then be applied to the Target Amount of units to determine the EPS payout.
Adjustments Based on TSR Goals. After the end of the 3-year Performance Period, the final payout of PARSUs will be determined based on the Adjusted EPS Units, as further adjusted based upon performance against the TSR goal for the Performance Period, as certified by the Committee as follows: if relative TSR performance is in the bottom quartile (lower than 25th percentile), the Adjusted EPS Units will be reduced by 50% (but not below 0% of target) (using the example above, 150%-50% = 100%); if relative TSR is in the top quartile (higher than 75th percentile), the Adjusted EPS Units will be increased by 50% (capped at 300% of target) (using the example above, 150%+50% = 200%); if relative TSR performance is in the second or third quartile (from 25th percentile to 75th percentile), no additional adjustment will be made to the Adjusted EPS Units (using the example above, Adjusted EPS units will be at 150%). In no case may the total number of units exceed 300% of the Target Amount, excluding the effect of dividend equivalents.
Adjustments to EPS. The calculations of Ending Year EPS and Base Year EPS will reflect the following adjustments.
If EPS goals are met for the relevant Segment, the EPS Units that are achieved for that Segment will be credited to the Employee even if the TSR goals for the Segment are not met.
The goals associated with the PARSUs shall be established by the Committee, and will be communicated separately to the Employee by the Company. Shares delivered at the end of each Segment with respect to the PARSUs will range from 0% to 200% of the Target Amount of PARSUs, based upon the Company’s performance against the EPS and TSR goals as certified by the Committee. No PARSUs will be achieved for a segment if performance is below minimum levels.
“EPS Performance Payout” means the percentage of Target Shares to be paid out based upon the Company’s three-year Cumulative EPS goal as determined under paragraph D of [Section III].
Base Year EPS. The term “Base Year EPS” means the Company’s actual adjusted diluted earnings per share and is calculated as the Adjusted Net Income (modified for any applicable adjustments set forth in the Appendix) divided by the Adjusted Diluted WAS, each as determined for the most recent Company fiscal year ended prior to the beginning of the Measurement Period.
EPS Performance Payout. The EPS Performance Payout shall be determined in accordance with the following performance schedule:
For each Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, the Committee shall establish (and may establish for other Awards) performance objectives ("Performance Goals") for the Company, its Subsidiaries, and/or divisions of any of foregoing, using the criteria and other factors set forth in [(b) and (c)])], below. It may also use other criteria or factors in establishing Performance Goals in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing. A Performance Goal may be stated as an absolute value or as a value determined relative to an index, budget, prior period, similar measures of a peer group of other companies or other standard selected by the Committee. Performance Goals shall include payout tables, formulas or other standards to be used in determining the extent to which the Performance Goals are met, and, if met, the number of Performance Shares and/or Performance Units which would be converted into Stock and/or cash (or the rate of such conversion) and distributed to Participants in accordance with [Section 8.6]. Unless previously canceled or reduced, Performance Shares and Performance Units which may not be converted because of failure in whole or in part to satisfy the relevant Performance Goals or for any other reason shall be canceled at the time they would otherwise be distributable. When the Committee desires an Award of Performance Shares, Performance Units, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, as amended, the Committee shall establish or modify the Performance Goals for the respective Award prior to or within 90 days of the beginning of the Performance Period relating to such Performance Goal, and not later than after twenty-five percent (25%) of such period has elapsed. For all other Awards, the Performance Goals must be established or modified before the end of the respective Performance Period.
The Performance Units (50% of all Awarded Units) shall vest in accordance with the following schedule (25% based on EPS Growth measured against the Three Year Plan, 25% EPS Growth measured against Peer Group, 25% Average ROE % measured against the Three Year Plan, and 25 Average ROE % measured against Peer Group)
