Approval of Executive Officer Compensation Arrangements

Also on December 6, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Fiscal Year 2022 Corporate Bonus Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan contains targets for the Company’s revenue, non-GAAP operating margin and cash flow from operations for fiscal 2022. The Company’s performance for fiscal 2022 will be measured against these targets.  Should the Company not achieve a minimum performance against these targets, no incentive compensation shall be payable under the 2022 Plan. Each 2022 Plan participant’s actual incentive compensation for fiscal 2022 will be determined by reference to his or her target incentive compensation, the Company’s achievement against its targets and achievement of the participant’s individual/divisional performance goals for fiscal 2022. Target individual incentive compensation payable under the 2022 Plan is expressed as a percentage of annual base salary and, for executive officers of the Company, ranges from 80% to 150%.  The Committee retains the right to terminate or amend the 2022 Plan in any respect, including increasing or decreasing Company and individual incentive compensation targets, and can also adjust an individual’s incentive compensation up or down on a discretionary basis.

In addition, on December 6, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the following increases in the annual base salaries of the Company’s named executive officers listed below, effective January 3, 2022:
