On May 16, 2005, the stockholders of JDA Software Group, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Company’s 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, primarily net income.
On February 7, 2008, 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.
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | Number of |
| | | | | Performance |

| Christopher Koziol | | Chief Operating Officer | | | 19,735 | |
| Philip Boland | | Senior Vice President, Worldwide Consulting Services | | | 9,868 | |

| | | | | | | |
| | | Total | | | 161,829 | |
The closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 7, 2008 was $17.34.
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 2008 (the “Distributable Shares”), subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company. A participant who remains employed through the settlement date is entitled to receive, without payment of monetary consideration, on the settlement date, an immediate grant of a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the number of Distributable Shares. In addition, on the settlement date, the participant will be granted a restricted stock unit award for the remaining 50% of the Distributable Shares. Subject to the participant’s continued employment, the restricted stock units will vest and be settled by the issuance to the participant of shares of common stock in 24 monthly installments over the subsequent two year period under the terms of the Company’s standard restricted stock unit agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements.
Also on February 7, 2008, the Committee approved a 2008 cash incentive bonus plan (the “Cash Plan”) for the following executive officers of the Company, with the target bonus established for each set forth below:
| | | | | |
