On February 27, 2015, TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) approved increases in the base salaries of the Company’s General Counsel and Chief Accounting Officer, of $25,000, and $50,000, respectively. The Company also awarded restricted stock units to these officers, vesting 1/3 each year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the awards. In addition, the Company established a performance metric of pre-tax income for the Company’s 2015 annual incentive program for all executive officers. The payout percentages of base salary for the General Counsel is 30% at threshold (75% of plan), 60% at target (100% of plan) and 120% at maximum (125% of plan). The payout percentages for the Chief Accounting Officer are 37.5%, 75%, and 150%, respectively at threshold, target and maximum. As long as the threshold is met, a multiple of 1.2 will be automatically applied to the payouts, subject to the negative discretion of the Compensation Committee to eliminate or reduce the multiple based on individual performance.
These changes in target total annual compensation are summarized in the table below.
