On May 16, 2005, the stockholders of JDA Software Group, Inc. (the Company) adopted the
Companys 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (as amended, the Incentive Plan) to, among other
things, increase the linkage between executive compensation and corporate performance and to enable
the Company to make equity awards based upon achievement by the Company of annual operating goals.
On January 28, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee)
approved awards of performance shares to certain employees of the Company, including to the
executive officers listed below (the Performance Share Awards). The primary purpose of these
awards is to encourage employees to achieve an annual EBITDA target. The following table sets forth
the maximum number of performance shares that may be earned by each named participant.

The closing price of the Companys common stock on January 28, 2011 was $30.00.
Each Performance Share Award represents the opportunity of the participant to receive a number
of shares of common stock determined by the extent to which an EBITDA target is achieved or
exceeded by the Company in 2011 (the Distributable Shares), subject to the participants
continued employment with the Company. A participant who remains employed through the initial
vesting date following the end of the Companys 2011 fiscal year is entitled to receive on the
initial vesting date, without payment of monetary consideration, a number of shares of the
Companys common stock equal to 50% of the number of Distributable Shares. In addition, the
remaining 50% of the Distributable Shares, subject to the participants continued employment, will
vest and be settled by the issuance to the participant of shares of common stock in two equal
annual installments over the subsequent two year period. This summary is qualified in its entirety
by the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements.
Also on January 28, 2011, the Committee approved a 2011 cash incentive bonus plan (the Cash
Plan) for certain employees of the Company, including the following executive officers, with the
target bonus established for each set forth below:
Participant | Title | Target Bonus | ||||
Hamish N. Brewer |
President and Chief Executive Officer | $ | 600,000 | |||
Peter S. Hathaway |
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | $ | 400,000 | |||
Jason Zintak |
Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing | $ | 450,000 | |||
David King, Ph.D. |
Executive Vice President, Product Development and | |||||
Management | $ | 295,000 | ||||
Total |
$ | 1,745,000 |
Amounts are payable quarterly under the Cash Plan on the basis of the actual EBITDA achieved
by the Company for the applicable quarter of fiscal year 2011. A partial pro-rata cash bonus will
be paid if the Company achieves a minimum annualized performance threshold. There is no cap on the
maximum amount the executives can receive if the Company exceeds the defined annualized performance
goals.
For Mr. Dziersk, the Committee approved a separate commission plan with a target of $375,000
for 2011, based on achievement of sales targets in the Americas region.
For purposes of calculating whether the EBITDA targets are achieved or exceeded with respect to the
Performance Share Awards and the Cash Plan, the cost of the Performance Share Awards will be
excluded.
