(e) Annual Cash Incentive Agreements.
On June 26, 2019, the Company entered into an annual cash incentive agreement (the Fiscal 2020 Agreement) with each of the executive officers
listed below, which sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the executive officer may receive an annual cash incentive award for the Companys fiscal year ending February 29, 2020. The Fiscal 2020 Agreement provides that each
such executive officers right, subject to review and approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to receive an annual cash incentive award will be determined based on the attainment of certain
pre-set
performance metrics for fiscal 2020. Any award received will not be taken into account when determining an executive officers compensation for purposes of determining benefits under any benefit,
pension or retirement plan of the Company, or under any agreement between the Company and the executive officer.
The performance metrics to be used for
determining awards under the Fiscal 2020 Agreements for the executive officers listed below are net sales, earnings before taxes and days working capital. The table below sets forth certain information with respect to fiscal 2020 annual cash
incentive award payout ranges as a percentage of fiscal 2020 salary for the listed executive officers based on performance at the threshold, target and maximum performance levels.

All Fiscal 2020 Agreement payout recommendations are subject to review and approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. While the
Committee considers and is guided by the amounts that would be payable under the foregoing criteria, it is not bound by these results and may exercise its discretion to pay different amounts.
If an executive officers employment with the Company is terminated during the fiscal year as a result of disability or retirement (under circumstances
that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines to qualify as a disability or retirement) or death, then the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the executive
officer, or the executive officers estate, as applicable, will receive a
pro-rata
cash payment after the end of the fiscal year to the extent that the threshold, target or maximum performance level of
the performance metric is achieved.
All awards under the Fiscal 2020 Agreement are subject to forfeiture or recoupment if the Board of Directors, in its
sole discretion, determines that events have occurred that are covered by the Companys Clawback Policy and that forfeiture or recoupment is appropriate.
The Fiscal 2020 Agreement used in connection with the fiscal 2020 annual cash incentive awards to executive officers listed above, is attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.1.
The Fiscal 2020 Agreement provides that the executive officer must be employed by the Company on the date the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors determines the amount of the award earned and to be paid out.
