On January 17, 2024, the Committee also granted long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards under the Company’s previously disclosed LTI plan to its named executive officers for services to be rendered in fiscal 2024.
Each LTI award consists of (1) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which vest ratably over four years (i.e., 25% on each anniversary of the award) and (2) performance stock units (“PSUs”) which contain a performance vesting condition by which the PSUs will vest upon the Company achieving a cumulative 3-year income from operations of $630 million.
If the Company achieves the Company-wide performance target, the executive will be entitled to receive 100% of their PSUs. Achievement of 80% of the performance target (the “threshold”) would result in the vesting of 50% of the target PSUs, and achievement of 120% of the performance target (the “maximum”) would result in the vesting of 200% of the target PSUs. Achievement of less than 80% of the performance target would result in the vesting of no PSUs, and achievement of above 120% of the performance target would not result in the vesting of more than 200% of the target PSUs. Achievement of between the threshold and the target, and between the target and the maximum, would result in the vesting of a prorated number of PSUs.
2024 Long-term Incentive (LTI)
