Changes to Board of Directors

the Company that he is resigning from the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board"), effective November 8, 2020. Lt. Gen. Harris's departure is not due to

to the Company's operations, policies, or practices. On November 8, 2020, the
Board appointed Mr. Fredrick Schaufeld to the Board to serve until the next
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company. Mr. Schaufeld will serve on
the Management Development and Compensation Committee.A copy of the press
release announcing Lt. Gen. Harris's departure and Mr. Schaufeld's appointment
is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated by reference herein.
On November 8, 2020, Robert J. Marino informed the Company that he is resigning
from the Board contingent upon the consummation of the Company's contemplated
initial public offering ("IPO") and effective as of the closing of such IPO. Mr.
Marino's departure is not due to a disagreement with the Company, the Board, or
management on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or
practices.
Adoption of Annual Cash Incentive Plan
On November 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved, and on
November 8, 2020, the Board reviewed and adopted an Annual Cash Incentive Plan
("AIP") for 2021, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on form 8-K
as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company's senior officers are eligible for incentive cash bonus awards
under the AIP. The purpose of the AIP is to provide each senior executive
officer the opportunity annually to earn a cash bonus as an incentive to put
forth maximum efforts for both our short-term and long-term success and to drive
achievement of the Company's long-term growth and profitability objectives. The
AIP is based upon one or more financial performance targets as determined by the
Compensation Committee on an annual basis. Awards under the AIP are an integral
component of compensation that link and reinforce executive decision-making and
performance with the annual objectives of the Company. The AIP is administered
by the Compensation Committee, and determinations by the Compensation Committee
are final, conclusive and binding on all parties. The Compensation Committee has
the discretion to determine the appropriate performance targets, the amount of
the awards, and the leverage features described below. The amount of the awards,
performance targets, and leverage features generally are established in writing
prior to or during the first quarter of each year.
The amounts of the potential AIP awards to the Company's senior executives
range from 40% to a maximum of 100% of the annual salaries of the various senior
executives (with the CEO set at 100% of his annual salary and all other senior
officers set at lower percentages of each of their salaries), subject to
leveraging in accordance with an AIP Award Leverage Schedule. The amount of
leverage ranges from a low of 0% (in the event performance falls below 100% of
the performance target), in which case no AIP award would be earned, to a high
of 200% (in the event performance is achieved equal to or higher than 120% of
the performance target), with the performance at target set to a leverage amount
of 100% of the senior officer's potential AIP award. The performance targets are
subject to equitable adjustment, in the discretion of the Compensation
Committee, in the event of significant transactions such as corporate
acquisitions or dispositions. The AIP and the annual cash incentives potentially
payable under it for the Company's senior officers are generally competitive
with similar annual incentive compensation earned by senior executives at our
peer companies, as evaluated by the Company's independent executive compensation
advisor and reported to the Compensation Committee.
