In November 2019, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company’s (“HPE”) HR and Compensation Committee (“HRCC”) approved HPE’s fiscal 2020 annual incentive program (“AIP”), providing participants, including our named executive officers, an opportunity to earn a cash incentive bonus under the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2015 Stock Incentive Plan.
Performance measures under the AIP consisted of core financial metrics of revenue and operating profit, linked to corporate or business segment results, as applicable, Edge-specific revenue, as well as Annualized Revenue Run-rate. In recognition of critical financial, operational and strategic priorities that surfaced during the year in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and, in order to support the retention of talent and to provide a continuing incentive for performance, the HRCC has adopted an additional structured framework to guide potential discretionary decisions by the committee.
Under this additional framework, the HRCC may exercise discretion to adjust fiscal 2020 bonus funding under the AIP, based on the achievements in employee safety and engagement, operations execution, financial metrics including around revenue improvement, liquidity, and progress against our previously announced cost savings and optimization plan, and progress against our strategic pivot to everything-as-a-service.
The HRCC believes these performance categories to guide any potential HRCC discretionary action are aligned as drivers of shareholder value for fiscal 2020 given the business disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic.
