AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan 2008/2009
The AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan is designed to motivate and reward performance that drives the achievement of the new vision and strategy for Allscripts. The Plan is effective for the current fiscal year (June 1, 2008 – May 31, 2009) and supersedes and/or replaces all previous bonus plans. The level of achievement against the Allscripts operating profit target for the fiscal year will determine the overall budget for payments.
Transition from Legacy Allscripts and Misys plans to the new AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan
The Misys Healthcare Systems Bonus Plan has been replaced by the AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan. Legacy Misys employees who are currently eligible for the Misys Healthcare Systems Bonus plan will be eligible for the new AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan for the full fiscal year and be eligible to receive 100% of their target bonus based upon the criteria outlined in this document.
Legacy Allscripts employees who are currently in the WIG/Allscripts Company Bonus Plan will be eligible for the new AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan through the remainder of the fiscal year and are eligible to receive 75% of their target annual bonus based upon the criteria outlined in this document. The WIG/Allscripts Company Bonus Plan has been discontinued.
Plan Summary
For this fiscal year performance will be based upon the results of several Allscripts business objectives and your personal objectives agreed to for the financial year.
Achievement of the Allscripts operating profit target determines the potential bonus payment and a minimum threshold level of achievement of 85% of target must be achieved before any bonus is payable. The targets and corresponding levels of potential bonus payment are detailed in the table below.
Actual individual bonus payments will be calculated based upon the result of the company or business unit operating profit and business objectives results as outlined.
Plan Structure
The plan is comprised of two elements:
| • | the payment budget/funding target which must be achieved before any payments can be made. The target measure used is the Company operating profit; |
| • | a series of performance metrics linked to the Allscripts strategic plan which will determine how any available bonus will be calculated and paid once the minimum funding target has been met. |
Payment Budget Calculation
| • | Allscripts operating profit must achieve a threshold of 85% of target for any payment to be made in the AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan as shown in the table below.The Allscripts Operating Profit ($m) metrics in the table below have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a Request for Confidential Treatment. |
Allscripts Operating Profit ($m) | Operating Profit Achievement (as a % of Allscripts Operating Profit) | Percent of Bonus Funding Achieved | ||
* | <85% | 0% | ||
* | 85% | 25% | ||
* | 90% | 50% | ||
* | 95% | 75% | ||
* | 100% | 100% | ||
* | 105% | 112.5% | ||
* | 110% | 125% | ||
* | 115% | 137.5% | ||
* | 120% | 150% | ||
* | >120% | 150% |
NB. Progression between points is linear.
| • | Business performance is that reported for the financial year 2008/09 by AllscriptsMisys. Details of the business financial targets and progress against these during the year will be confirmed by senior management. |
Performance Metrics
Once the minimum funding has been met, bonuses will be calculated based upon results of business objectives and individual performance. Weighting for the business and individual objectives is shown on Appendix 1.
Company Metrics
| • | The AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan 08/09 uses key objectives directly taken from the Allscripts Business Strategy Scorecard to align all employees in the plan to a single set of objectives that everyone can support. |
| • | All employees have the ability to directly impact some or all of the objectives in the plan and therefore contribute to the success of Allscripts and future bonus payments. |
| • | Actual payments to employees will be calculated based on performance against the results of the business objectives (Company or Business Unit, if the employee is assigned to one business unit within Allscripts) as detailed in Appendix 2 and as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. |
Individual Performance Metrics
| • | Personal performance will be assessed by each individual’s line manager and will take into account individual objectives results during the financial year including input from the Company’s Performance Management Plan (PMP). |
| • | Personal performance result will be the annual performance rating. |
| • | Personal performance will account for 10%, 30% or 50% of your bonus, depending on organizational level/title as shown on Appendix 2. |
| • | The target payment for individual performance will vary for different annual performance ratings with a Successful performer targeted at 100% of their individual bonus target component as shown below. |
| • | Inconsistent rating will reduce overall bonus payment by 50% |
| • | Unacceptable rating reduces the overall bonus to 0% |
| • | All of the individual performance bonus payments will be subject to managers returning an overall performance distribution that is acceptable to the business during the PMP process. |
| Performance Rating | % of Individual Component to be Paid | |||
Exceptional | (Min) 105% - (Target) 120% | |||
Strong | (Min) 100% - (Target) 110% | |||
Successful | (Min) 90% - (Target) 100% |
| • | Note: A range is necessary as the overall bonus spend cannot exceed budget. If a desired performance distribution is achieved, then target percentages would be applied. The individual component percent would need to be revised within the range if the desired performance distribution is not achieved. |
