Repayment of Bonus contract clause examples

Annual Bonus. For each complete calendar year, Employee shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of up to 45% of the Base Salary in accordance with Company policy and procedure for granting of a management specified employee bonus, based on achievement of Company and individual performance targets that will be set by the Company as part of the annual budget process and within the Company’s sole discretion. The determination as to whether applicable targets have been achieved, and whether and to what extent any Annual Bonus is to be paid with respect to such targets, shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. Any Annual Bonus so determined shall be paid in the month of March following the applicable bonus year, no later than March 31, less such deductions as are required by law or that Employee may elect in accordance with Company policy and procedure. Employee must be fully and actively employed as of the payment date and must not have provided notice of termination for any reason prior to the payment date to be entitled to the Annual Bonus. The Annual Bonus shall be reviewed at least annually by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and may increase (but not decrease) at the Board’s sole and absolute discretion.

Annual Bonus. Executive will be granted an Annual Performance Period (“APP”) award for service performed in 2018 under the Company's 2017 Incentive Plan, to be determined and paid in cash during early 2019. Under this award, Executive will be entitled to receive between 0% and 200% of his target award, based on performance goal attainment during 2018. Executive’s 2018 APP target award amount will be equal to 100% of his actual 2018 Base Salary, pro-rated for the portion of the year during which he is actually employed. (For example, as the Effective Date is March 1, 2018, the target amount would be $775,000 x 10/12, or $645,833.33). The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has determined that the 2018 APP award goal for senior management, including Executive, will be a specified level of Company Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the award agreements). The Committee retains the right to exercise its discretion, after the end of 2018, as in prior years, to determine to what extent the APP awards Executive and the other executive officers have been earned, and reserves the right to take individual performance factors into account, and to employ subjective and objective criteria. (The other terms of this award shall be as specified in the 2018 Annual Performance Award Agreement). Executive will be eligible in 2019 and thereafter to participate in the 2019 APP award or any other annual executive bonus program, as the same may be adopted, amended, modified or terminated by the Company, in accordance with its terms. Target bonuses in future periods will be at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Discretionary Bonus. Although it is not anticipated by the parties, Executive may become eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus. The actual amount of the annual discretionary bonus, if any, is to be determined by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to appropriate withholdings and deductions); provided, however, that to be eligible to receive such bonus Executive must be employed by the Company on the date any such bonus is paid.

Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this paragraph (b), the Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period an annual cash bonus (the "Annual Bonus") equal to a percentage of his Annual Base Salary. Such percentage shall be substantially consistent with the targeted percentages generally awarded to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliated Companies, but at least equal to the higher of # the percentage obtained by dividing his targeted annual bonus for the then current fiscal year by his then Annual Base Salary or # the average percentage of his annual base salary (as in effect for the applicable years) that was paid or payable, including by reason of any deferral, to the Executive by the Company and its Affiliated Companies as an annual bonus (however described, including as annual incentive compensation) for each of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs (or, if higher, for each of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a Change of Control occurs, if a Change of Control occurs following the Effective Date). For the purposes of any calculation required to be made under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, an annual bonus shall be annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve full months or with respect to which the Executive was employed for, and received pro-rated annual incentive compensation with respect to, less than the full twelve months, and, if the Executive has not been employed for the full duration of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which the Effective Date occurs, the average shall be calculated over the duration of the Executive's employment in such period. Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the second month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive otherwise elects to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus in accordance with a deferred compensation plan of the Company or its Affiliated Companies that complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The foregoing provisions of this paragraph # shall be qualified by the following terms and conditions. If # as of the end of any fiscal year during the Employment Period the Executive is a “Covered Employee” as defined in Code Section 162(m), (B) Code Section 162(m) remains in effect as of the end of such fiscal year and as of such date is applicable to the payment of an Annual Bonus for such fiscal year and # the Executive participated for such fiscal year in an Annual Incentive Plan (as hereinafter defined), the Annual Bonus for such fiscal year shall be paid to the Executive pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan, rather than in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph (b), in the amount, at the time and upon the other terms and conditions specified in such Annual Incentive Plan; provided, however, that if a Change of Control occurs before such payment is made, the Executive shall be paid, in lieu of such amount and on the date on which such Change of Control occurs, as follows: # as the Annual Bonus for such fiscal year, an amount equal to the greater of # the maximum amount payable to the Executive under the Annual Incentive Plan for such fiscal year assuming achievement thereunder of the Corporate Performance Objective (as hereinafter defined) for such fiscal year and # the maximum amount payable in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph (b) and (B) as Annual Bonuses for all prior fiscal years ended during the Employment Period, an amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, by which the maximum amount otherwise payable in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph # for all such prior fiscal years exceeds the aggregate amount of all Annual Bonuses previously paid to the Executive for such prior fiscal years pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan or otherwise under this paragraph (b). If, as of the end of any fiscal year for which an Annual Bonus is payable pursuant to this paragraph (b), the Executive is not, and at any time during the three full fiscal years preceding such date was not, a “Covered Employee” as defined in [Section 162(m)], the Executive shall be paid the Annual Bonus for such fiscal year in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph (b); provided, however, that the amount of the Annual Bonus so paid to the Executive shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of the annual cash bonus paid to the Executive for such fiscal year pursuant to an Annual Incentive Plan. For purposes of this paragraph (b), “Annual Incentive Plan” means an annual cash incentive compensation plan of the Company that # is intended to result in, and, in the opinion of a nationally reputable law firm having significant experience with Code Section 162(m), does result in, the payment of qualified performance-based compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m) (assuming solely for this purpose achievement of the Corporate Performance Objective to which the payment of such compensation is subject), # conditions the payment of all compensation pursuant thereto on the achievement of a Corporate Performance Objective that is generally applicable to all participants in such plan, and # is administered, and includes a Corporate Performance Objective that is selected, in a manner that is consistent in all material respects with past practice as applied to the most recent annual cash incentive compensation plan of the Company that was in effect prior to the date of this Agreement (December 31, 2009) for which the applicable Corporate Performance Objective was achieved. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Corporate Performance Objective” to which any payment of compensation is subject shall mean the objective performance objective which is selected and established by the Compensation Committee of the Board for purposes of making such payment fully deductible for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 162(m).

Cash Bonus. Executive shall be entitled to a fraction of any Cash Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company within which Executive’s termination of employment occurs which, based upon the criteria established for such Cash Bonus, would have been payable to Executive had she remained employed through the date of payment, the numerator of which is the number of days of such fiscal year prior to her termination of employment and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365); and

Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual target bonus (a “Bonus”) if, as reasonably determined by the Board or, to the extent delegated by the Board, the Committee one or more of the performance targets annually determined by the Board or the Committee (“Performance Targets”) is achieved. If all of the Performance Targets are achieved, the Bonus will equal not less than 40 percent of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”). In the event that less than all of the Performance Targets are met by Executive, the Bonus paid in respect of this paragraph may be less than the Target Bonus. Except as set forth in Section 5(a) hereof, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day any such earned Bonus is paid which shall be not later than 2½ months after the end of each calendar year. The Executive’s target bonus opportunity as a percentage of Base Salary may be reviewed periodically and adjusted in the sole discretion of the Board. After any such adjustment, the term “Target Bonus” shall refer to the increased amount.

Target Bonus. Executive will be eligible for an annual target bonus (the “Target Bonus”) in an amount equal to 100% of Executive’s then-current annual Base Salary, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company Incentive Plan (“CIP”) in effect for each applicable fiscal year. The CIP for the Company’s 2023 fiscal year provides for semi-annual payments, with 40% of the Target Bonus payable for the performance period of February 1st through July 31st (the “First Half”, and such bonus, the “First Half Bonus”) and 60% of the Target Bonus payable for the performance period of August 1st through January 31st (the “Second Half”, and such bonus, the “Second Half Bonus”), with the actual bonus amounts awarded to Executive (the “Actual Bonuses”) to be earned upon achievement of performance objectives to be established by the Board for such performance periods. For the Company’s 2023 fiscal year, Executive shall be eligible for the Second Half Bonus (i.e., $600,000 at “target”), with the Actual Bonus payable with respect thereto prorated based upon the number of days Executive is employed as CEO during the Second Half. To receive payment of any Actual Bonus, Executive must be employed by the Company on the last day of the period to which such bonus relates and at the time bonuses are paid, except as set forth below in Section 7.

Bonus Compensation. In addition to your base salary, you will be entitled to receive an annual bonus equal to five percent (5%) of the Company’s EBITDA for the year starting in Fiscal year 2023. The Board of Directors will review your stock and cash compensation every December, starting 2022, and may choose at their discretion to add additional stock or cash bonuses as deemed appropriate at any time during the employment on a quarterly basis.

Discretionary Bonus. At the sole discretion of the Board and [[Organization A:Organization]], promptly following each calendar year of employment CFO shall be eligible to receive a discretionary cash bonus of up to 30% of CFO’s then-current base salary (the “Bonus”), based on CFO’s achievement relative to certain performance goals (“Performance Goals”) to be established by the [[Organization A:Organization]] in writing in a manner reasonably consistent with the Company’s priorities. The determination of whether CFO has met the Performance Goals for any given year, and if so, the amount of any Bonus that will be paid for such year (if any), shall be determined by the Board and [[Organization A:Organization]] in their sole and absolute discretion. In order to be eligible to earn or receive any Bonus, CFO must remain employed by the Company through and including the date of payment of such Bonus. For the first calendar year of CFO’s employment with Company, the Bonus payable shall be pro-rated in accordance with the percentage of the calendar year that the CFO is an employee of the Company.

Prorated Bonus In satisfaction of the provisions of [Section 402(a)] of the Severance Plan, Executive shall be eligible for the cash bonus that would have been payable to him under the Senior Executive Bonus Plan for 2017, prorated based on a fraction # the numerator of which is the number of days between January 1, 2017 and the Termination Date, and # the denominator of which is 365. The actual amount of the bonus (if any) shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, and shall be paid at the same time as such bonuses are otherwise generally paid to the Company's executives and in any event no later than March 15, 2018.
