(e )      Fiscal 2017 Incentive Pay Plan. As previously announced, on December 2, 2016 the Compensation Committee set the overall target payment amount under the Incentive Pay Plan for 2017 at fifty percent of base salary for Ms. Lindsoe and sixty-five percent of base salary for Mr. Demorest. On February 27, 2017, the Compensation Committee set the weighting of each component of the Incentive Pay Plan for 2017 for MOCON’s executive officers named above as follows:

 

  

Operating Income (50%)

 

 

Revenue Growth (25%)

   

 

Specified individual objectives (25%)

  

On February 27, 2017, the Compensation Committee also set the goal amounts for the operating income and revenue growth components of the Incentive Pay Plan, as well as individual goals for all of our executive officers who will be participating in the Incentive Pay Plan for 2017. The Incentive Pay Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.1. The fiscal 2017 percentages of salary and weighting of each component were set forth in resolutions adopted by the Compensation Committee and are not otherwise set forth in any written agreements between MOCON and the executive officers.

 

Fiscal 2017 Special Performance Related Bonuses. The Compensation Committee also established a special performance related bonus arrangement for our executive officers, including the two executive officers named above, to further motivate these individuals to attain certain company-related performance goals in addition to the operating income, revenue growth and objectives goals covered under MOCON’s Incentive Pay Plan. The special performance bonus plan is attached as Exhibit 10.2.

 

While the specific special performance goals under the special bonus arrangement remain confidential, if achieved, the bonuses will be in the form of an extra week of paid vacation and an all-expense paid trip up to maximum amounts ranging from $15,000 to $20,000. The specific terms of the fiscal 2017 special performance related bonuses were set forth in resolutions adopted by the Compensation Committee and are not otherwise set forth in any written agreements between MOCON and the executive officers.
