returned to the U.S. in 2019 and has most recently served as the Company's Vice
President, Global Financial Planning & Analysis.
In connection with Mr. Puckett's appointment, he will receive the following
compensation package: (i) an annualized base salary of $600,000, effective as of
the Effective Date, (ii) an annual incentive target equal to 100% of base
salary, effective as of the Effective Date, and (iii) a long-term incentive plan
annual equity award with a target value of $1,800,000, expected to be made in
May 2021 concurrent with long-term incentive plan annual equity awards to the
Company's other executive officers.
