The awards will be earned based upon the Company’s performance, over a three year period, measured by the Company’s pre-tax income plus amortization (“EBTA”) growth relative to a select peer group (excluding non-recurring items), subject to adjustment based upon the application of a return on invested capital (“ROIC”) modifier, as set forth below. The “Performance Period” for the awards is a three-year period commencing December 30, 2019 and ending January 1, 2023. Vesting of awards is contingent upon each named executive’s continued employment, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the award agreement.
