QUARTERLY PLAN COMPONENTS 12 SYMANTEC CORPORATION CY 1999 PRESIDENT AND CEO VARIABLE COMPENSATION PLAN Two metrics determine the bonus payment: 1) quarterly PLANNED TOTAL REVENUE (PTR) and 2) quarterly EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS). The performance targets for these metrics are stated below. The weighting of each metric is 50%. A minimum threshold of 80% of EACH target must be exceeded before the quarterly bonus will be paid for that metric. There is no additional payment for achieving more than 100% of the quarterly target in the Quarterly Plan. o At 80% of the metric target, 0% of the bonus associated with that metric will be paid. o Between 80% and 100% of the metric targets, the bonus will be calculated on a LINEAR basis in relation to the percent of the metric achieved. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PERFORMANCE BETWEEN 80-100% OF PLAN - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ % of Metrics % of Bonus % of Metrics % of Bonus Attained earned Revenue EPS Attained earned Revenue EPS - ------------- ---------- -------- ------ ------------- ---------- -------- ------ Weighting Weighting ----------------- ----------------- 50% 50% 50% 50% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 80 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 81 5% 2.5% 2.5% 91 55% 27.5% 27.5% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 82 10% 5.0% 5.0% 92 60% 30.0% 30.0% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 83 15% 7.5% 7.5% 93 65% 32.5% 32.5% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 84 20% 10.0% 10.0% 94 70% 35.0% 35.0% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 85 25% 12.5% 12.5% 95 75% 37.5% 37.5% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 86 30% 15.0% 15.5% 96 80% 40.0% 40.0% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 87 35% 17.5% 17.5% 97 85% 42.5% 42.5% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 88 40% 20.0% 20.0% 98 90% 45.0% 45.0% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 89 45% 22.5% 22.5% 99 95% 47.5% 47.5% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 90 50% 25.0% 25.0% 100 100% 50.0% 50.0% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ QUARTER BONUS TARGETS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ($000's) MARCH QUARTER JUNE QUARTER SEPTEMBER QUARTER DECEMBER QUARTER - ---------------- ------------- ------------ ----------------- ---------------- PLANNED QTRLY REVENUE TARGET - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 80% Of Threshold ====================================================================================================== EPS TARGET - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 80% Of Threshold - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ANNUAL PLAN COMPONENTS 13 SYMANTEC CORPORATION CY 1999 PRESIDENT AND CEO VARIABLE COMPENSATION PLAN Two metrics will determine the annual bonus: 1) REVENUE GROWTH and 2) EARNINGS PER SHARE for CY 1999. Attainment of each metric will determine 50% of the annual bonus respectively. In addition, a 50% of base salary upside bonus potential exists for performance greater than 100% of plan in the Annual Plan. o A threshold of 80% must be exceeded for each respective metric before that metric's portion of the annual bonus will be paid. There is an additional incentive for achieving more than 100% of each metric. o Between 80% and 100%, 1% performance equals 5% incentive. Between 100% and 130%, the bonus will be calculated on a linear basis in relation to the percent of the metric achieved (1% performance equals 2.5% incentive).
