The number of performance shares to be earned can range from 0.5x (threshold) to 2.0 x (maximum) of the number of target shares awarded depending on the extent to which the Registrant attains the level of Contribution Margin, or CM, as adjusted by Return on Invested Capital, or ROIC (all as defined in the performance measure adopted for the cycle).
