    Fiscal 2019 Cash Incentive Bonuses. On April 23, 2019 the Compensation Committee approved target incentive cash compensation for our executive officers for 2019 under our Management Bonus Plan (the “Management Bonus Plan”). The Company’s executive officers were eligible to participate in the Management Bonus Plan, which provided for the opportunity to earn quarterly and annual bonuses based on corporate and individual performance during the fiscal year. Bonuses under the Management Bonus Plan are based on each executive officer’s annual target cash incentive opportunity (established as a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary, referred to as the “Target Bonus”). For each executive officer, 85% of the cash bonus opportunity under the Management Bonus Plan was evaluated based on multiples (ranging from 0 to 2) of the Target Bonus based on performance of the Company against corporate goals and objectives as approved by the Compensation Committee for the applicable measurement period, 65% of which was based on quarterly financial and operating performance and paid out quarterly, and 35% of which was based on annual corporate goals and objectives and paid out annually. In addition, for each executive officer, an additional 15% of their cash bonus opportunity under the Management Bonus Plan was evaluated based on a multiple (ranging from 0 to 1) of the Target Bonus based on individual performance against annual individual goals and objectives as approved by the Compensation Committee and paid out annually. Under this Management Bonus Plan, bonuses based on corporate goals and objectives were limited to no more than twice the amount of 85% of the applicable executive officer’s Target Bonus, and bonuses based on individual goals and objectives were limited to no more than 15% of the applicable executive officer’s Target Bonus. The Compensation Committee may increase or decrease bonuses calculated under the Management Bonus Plan in its discretion based on corporate or individual performance.
