The annual cash incentive for each executive officer for the Company’s 2023 fiscal year, which ends January 29, 2023, will be paid if the Company attains 80% or more of its budgeted fiscal 2023 consolidated net income target, as approved by the Board of Directors. Each executive officer is eligible to receive a percentage of his or her calendar 2022 base salary under the annual incentive program. The annual cash incentive is based on each executive officer’s Base Salary as detailed above. No cash bonus is payable if the Company fails to reach at least 80% of the budgeted consolidated net income target and a maximum cash bonus is payable if the Company reaches 125% or more of target consolidated net income.
