2020 Target Bonus Program
On July 20, 2020, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of NeoPhotonics Corporation (the “Company”) approved a 2020 incentive bonus program (the “2020 Bonus Program”) for the Company’s executive officers and other employees. The Compensation Committee structured target bonuses for the fiscal year 2020 so that payouts would be determined based in part on achievement against corporate objectives, including:
· | Non-GAAP net income from operations for the fiscal year 2020; |
· | Free cash flow for the fiscal year 2020; and |
· | Completion of research and development product milestones in fiscal year 2020. |
For target bonuses for the fiscal year 2020, the Compensation Committee established performance goals for each of the above metrics that are aligned with corporate objectives. While these various performance goals were selected, they are merely non-binding guidelines to be used as one factor in determining the actual bonuses earned. For executives other than the chief executive officer, individual performance goals will also be included in the 2020 Bonus Program.
It is expected that, in the first quarter of 2021, the Compensation Committee will review the Company’s fiscal year 2020 corporate performance against each of the corporate goals and other aspects of corporate and individual performance to determine any actual bonus awards for performance related to the fiscal year 2020.
On July 20, 2020, the Compensation Committee also confirmed that target bonus opportunities for 2020 for the Company’s “named executive officers” would be unchanged from 2019, which are as follows:
Named Executive Officer | 2020 Target Bonus Percentage | ||
Timothy S. Jenks, President and Chief Executive Officer | 100 | % | |
Elizabeth Eby, Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer | 60 | % | |
Dr. Raymond Cheung, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer | 60 | % | |
Dr. Wupen Yuen, Senior Vice President, Chief Product Officer and General Manager | 60 | % | |
Yang Chiah Yee, Senior Vice President of Global Sales | 60 | % |
