Company | FY2019 Revenue (mm) | Company Type | Industry | Action | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ford Motor Company | $127,144 | Public: S&P 500 | Automobiles and Components | Annual Incentive Plan Changes | Revised current, in-process incentive plan – On February 2, 2021, the Committee approved an adjustment, applicable only for 2020, to the “business performance factor” (the “BPF”) used to calculate awards for employees under the Company’s Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (the “AICP”). For 2020, the unadjusted BPF was 23%, but the Committee approved the use of a BPF of 50% to create a supplemental budget for calculating AICP awards for 2020 performance. Employees other than corporate officers will receive their AICP awards in cash. For corporate officers, the awards will be divided into two portions: one portion paid in a cash amount that is attributable to the unadjusted 2020 BPF (23%), and the remaining portion paid in an amount of time-based restricted stock units, with a one year vesting period, equivalent to the balance of the Adjusted BPF (27%), with differentiation based on each corporate officer’s contributions toward the Company’s efforts in response to COVID-19. Historically, the Compensation Committee has refrained from exercising its discretion to modify the AICP awards, but the Compensation Committee believes that the unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic warrant this adjustment and the corresponding equity awards for corporate officers. |

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. | $1,600 | Public: S&P 500 | Consumer Services | Long-Term Incentive Plan Changes | Revised current, in-process incentive plan – Due to these unforeseen circumstances and global economic conditions, the Company’s achievement of the performance targets for the 2018 performance awards became impossible and the achievement of the performance targets for the 2019 and 2020 performance awards highly unlikely, which would result in a zero payout under the Company’s 2018, 2019 and 2020 performance awards.

Henry Schein, Inc. | $10,119 | Public: S&P 500 | Health Care Equipment and Services | Annual Incentive Plan Changes | Effective August 11, 2020, the Compensation Committee suspended the Performance Incentive Plan (“PIP”) for the Company’s 2020 fiscal year with respect to all U.S. participants and certain non-U.S. participants and canceled any corresponding PIP awards relating to the 2020 Year in their entirety. Effective as of July 1, 2020, the Compensation Committee also adopted the Henry Schein, Inc. 2020 Recovery Performance Plan (the “RPP”) to replace and supersede the PIP with respect to the 2020 Year for such participants. The RPP provides pay for performance incentive compensation to the Company’s employees, including the Company’s named executive officers, and is designed to reward them for their contributions to the Company consistent with the Company’s business recovery strategy and enable the Company to continue to attract and retain highly qualified employees. Under the RPP, the Compensation Committee will designate participants in the RPP and will establish Company-wide, functional area/business unit-level, and individual performance measures and goals for the earning of bonuses based on a performance period commencing on July 1, 2020, and ending on December 26, 2020, provided that the outcome at the time that the goals are set is substantially uncertain to be achieved. The Compensation Committee may subsequently adjust the performance goals to take into account such unanticipated circumstances or significant events as the Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion. It is expected that the individual bonus target amount for each named executive officer will be materially less than the individual bonus target amount set under the PIP for the 2020 Year. |

DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. | $3,371 | Public: S&P 500 | Health Care Equipment and Services | Annual Incentive Plan Changes | The HR Committee determined that the performance targets in the Prior Plan were no longer appropriate to properly motivate its key executives to achieve the Company’s goals and objectives. The Revised Plan focuses on incentivizing executives to find opportunities to reduce the Company’s expenses through restructuring and other cost-cutting measures and to implement certain key growth initiatives to position the Company to achieve its objectives in 2021 and beyond. The Revised Plan provides for potential cash incentive payments based on achievement of performance criteria during the third and fourth quarters of 2020. The target payouts as percentages of salary remained consistent with the Prior Plan. However, since the Revised Plan will be based on the performance during the second half of 2020, any payout amounts are prorated for the partial year and will accordingly be 50% of the amounts that could have been earned under the Prior Plan. The funding levels for the achievement of the performance criteria range from 0% to 125% of the second half target payout (0% to 62.5% of the full year target payout), depending on the achievement of such criteria. Under the Prior Plan, the maximum payouts were 200% of the target payout |

Varian Medical Systems, Inc. | $3,168 | Public: S&P 500 | Health Care Equipment and Services | Annual Incentive Plan Changes | Revised current, in-process incentive plan – The Compensation Committee used discretion in determining the financial results payout percentage in light of the pandemic impact. The actual economic profit results prior to any adjustment for the pandemic impact were at 49%, however results were tracking to 197% payout through the early part of the fiscal year prior to the pandemic impact. The Committee determined it was appropriate to cap the payout for the financial results portion at target and approved funding at 100% of target for the Financial Results portion of MIP for fiscal year 2020. The company bases 20% of the MIP target award opportunity on individual, strategic goals. The goals for fiscal year 2020 were tied to our five strategic business priorities plus another two priorities added mid-year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the announced Merger with Siemens Healthineers. The new COVID-related priority added as a part of the individual strategic goals is to “manage the COVID-19 pandemic impact, balancing needs of our customers, employees and stockholders” |

In light of the pandemic impact, the Committee approved funding at 100% of target for these non-MIP participants taking into account (1) the Company missing its original fiscal year 2020 financial target set at the beginning of the fiscal year prior to the onset of the pandemic, balanced by (2) exceeding the Company’s revised second half operating earnings forecast and (3) exceeding resiliency goals tied to supporting customers, employees, stockholders and the overall Company performance during the pandemic. |

IQVIA Holdings Inc. | $11,359 | Public: S&P 500 | Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology and Life Sciences | Annual Incentive Plan Changes | For 2020, the LDC Committee assigned weightings for each performance measure: (1) Revenue/Profit, (2) Cash Flow, (3) Balance Sheet/Liquidity, (4) Operational/Strategic, and (5) Leadership/Governance. The weightings for cash flow and liquidity in 2020 compared to other years reflect a greater attention to these measures in 2020 given the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. After considering the positive and negative impacts of the pandemic, the Committee estimated that the total impact to the Company’s performance in 2020 was approximately $750 million in Revenue and approximately $250 million in Adjusted EBITDA, with a corresponding impact of $1 per share on Adjusted EPS. In acknowledgment of these factors, the LDC Committee approved an adjustment to our Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS results equal to approximately one-third of the estimated impact. This raised the final payout factor for the revenue/profit performance measure payout of the STI to 93% from 87% |

Given that TSR performance was at the 80th percentile, the total payout would have been at the 200% maximum level. Similar to the adjustment made to the STI program, the LDC approved an adjustment to reflect approximately one-third of the total impact of the COVID-19 pandemic when determining the payouts for the 2018-2020 performance shares, resulting in a payout actor of 192% |

The individual performance goals for NEOs that were initially set in October 2019 through January 2020 were also updated in April 2020 to reflect changing business priorities and the extraordinary circumstances caused by COVID-19.

As a result, the portion of the annual cash incentive plan that relates to fiscal year 2020 Net Income Growth and Net Revenue Growth resulted in no annual incentive payment to our NEOs. Similarly, one-third of each outstanding performance share award held by our NEOs resulted in a fiscal year 2020 Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) performance factor of 0%.

The PSUs granted represent a “target” amount, with the number of shares awarded based on the Company’s achievement of threshold (50% awarded), target (100% awarded) and maximum (200% awarded) performance goals over a three-year performance period (fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023) (the “Performance Period”).

If the Company ranks in the bottom quartile of the group, the number of PSUs actually awarded will be reduced by 25%; if the Company ranks in the top quartile of the group, the number of PSUs actually awarded will be increased by 25% (which, based on maximum performance goals achieved, could result in a payment of up to 250% of “target” for the PSUs) |

PTC Inc. | $1,458 | Public: S&P 400 | Software and Services | Long-Term Incentive Plan Changes | Revised go forward incentive plan – For the FY20 tranche of the FY19 PSUs, exercised discretion in determining attainment of certain FY20 performance-based compensation plans by determining that it was appropriate to deem the FY19 PSUs eligible to vest for FY20 at the threshold attainment level of 50%. For the FY20 tranche of the FY18 PSUs, vested the final tranche of the FY18 PSUs at 58% based on forecast achievement of the New ACV performance metric as of the end of the five-month period in FY20 preceding the COVID-19-pandemic. For the FY21 tranche of the FY19 PSUs, adjusted downward the threshold and target Adjusted Free Cash Flow metrics for FY21 to better align those measures with the company’s plan and reduced the amount that could be earned upon achievement of threshold from 50% to 25% given the lower threshold. In approving these adjustments, the Compensation Committee determined to remove the catch-up provision for these awards given the adjustment to the ARR metrics. Accordingly, the executives forfeited the 40.7% of the PSUs not earned for the FY19 period (achievement for FY19 was 59.3%) and the 50% of the PSUs not earned for FY20.

As a result, 62.5% of the PSUs tied to achievement of ARR in the first year of the performance cycle were earned on a weighted average basis. For the FY21 and FY22 tranches of the FY20 PSUs, adjusted downward the threshold and target ARR metrics for FY21 and FY22 and changed from a compound annual growth rate to an annual growth rate given the uncertainty in forecasting the macroeconomic environment and performance opportunities. In approving these adjustments, the Compensation Committee determined to remove the catch-up provision for these awards given the adjustment to the ARR metrics. Accordingly, the executives forfeited the 37.5% of the unearned ARR PSUs for FY20 and will forfeit unearned PSUs foreach of FY21 and FY22 |
