On February 14, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Blucora, Inc. Board of Directors approved the 2013 Executive Bonus Plan. This plan provides for annual performance-based cash bonuses to the Company’s executive officers. The target bonus amount for individual executive officers varies, and is between 50% and 100% of each executive’s base salary.
The available bonus for each executive is based on a combination of (a) the Company’s achievement of certain specified financial or operational performance measurements and (b) the individual performance of each executive and the discretion of the CEO (or, in the case of CEO bonus, the discretion of the Compensation Committee). For the financial or operational performance components, the specific measures vary by executive, but may include Company Revenue (as defined in the plan), Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the plan), and/or certain measurements that are specific to the business unit that the individual executive is responsible for. Of the total available bonus payout, 80% is based on the financial and operational performance component and 20% is based on the individual performance/discretionary component.
The performance targets established for this bonus plan correspond to the operating plan targets approved by the Blucora Board of Directors. The range of possible bonus component achievement is 0% to 165% of the target bonus for the operational and financial performance components and 0% to 100% for the individual performance/discretionary component, with the result that the aggregate maximum available payout level is 152%.
The foregoing description of the 2013 Executive Bonus Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of this plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
