Adoption of 2012 Performance Metrics and Target Bonuses

Under the Restated Incentive Compensation Plan, executive officers (and specified other employees) are eligible to earn annual cash bonuses based on financial performance metrics that are defined in the Plan and established annually by the Committee.  At or near the beginning of each fiscal year, each executive officer is assigned a “Target Bonus,” expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary, and then becomes eligible to earn a bonus based on the extent to which the financial results meet, exceed or fall short of the executive officer’s predefined financial performance targets for that fiscal year.  The Plan also gives the committee the authority and responsibility to adjust the Company's actual GAAP financial results to take into account the objectively determinable impact of unexpected material events for purposes of determining the extent to which performance targets were satisfied.  On March 28, 2012, the Committee established the Target Bonuses and financial performance metrics for the Company’s executive officers under the Plan for fiscal year 2012, as well as financial performance targets for the year that include pre-approved alternative targets relating to the expected acquisition by the Company of Flint Energy Services.  Meeting a minimum corporate net income threshold, as defined in the Plan, is a prerequisite for each executive officer to earn a bonus, and meeting a minimum division operating income threshold, as defined in the Plan, is a prerequisite for each executive officer whose performance targets are measured by division performance to earn a bonus from the bonus pool of that division.  In addition, with respect to our executive officers, the Committee established the following financial performance metrics and weighting and confirmed the Target Bonuses under the Plan for fiscal year 2012:
