On March 30, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Seventy Seven Energy Inc. (the "Company") approved a 2015 incentive program for Company employees. The incentive program is intended to provide cash incentives to employees, including executive officers, for achieving specified performance targets on a business unit and overall Company basis, such as revenue, gross margin, total recordable incident rate and total stockholder return, for 2015. The targets and their relative weighting are specific to each business unit. Each executive's performance will be determined based upon the relative weighting of business unit performance and overall company performance established for such executive. Under the program, the performance of all executive officers is dependent in some measure on the performance of the Company overall. Performance based incentive compensation target amounts under the program for the named executive officers are as follows:
|
| | | | |
| Named Executive Officer | | Target Amount |
| Jerry Winchester | | $ | 890,000 |
|
| Karl Blanchard | | $ | 510,000 |
|
| Cary Baetz | | $ | 337,500 |
|
| James Minmier | | $ | 315,000 |
|
| William Stanger | | $ | 260,000 |
|
Following the end of the performance period, the Compensation Committee will determine the payment amount for each award based on the Compensation Committee's evaluation of the achievement level of the pre-established performance objectives. Such payment amount will range from 0% to 200% of each executive officer’s target amount. Payments pursuant to the awards, if any, are expected to be made in the first quarter of 2016.
