For additional information, please see the section captioned “Executive Compensation” of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2018, as amended.

The Committee also approved an increase in the bonus opportunity for Mr. Keeney. Prior to the change, Mr. Keeney was eligible to receive a performance-based target bonus under the Company’s non-equity incentive plan of up to 60% of his base salary, with opportunities for over-achievement. The Committee increased the percentage for Mr. Keeney up to 100% of his base salary, with opportunities for over-achievement of up to 150% of Mr. Keeney’s base salary.
