Item 9B. Other Information
(e)
Pursuant to RBI’s Bonus Swap Program, RBI provides eligible employees, including its named executive officers, or NEOs, the ability to invest 25% or 50% of their net cash bonus into RBI common shares (“Investment Shares”) and leverage the investment through the issuance of matching restricted share units (“RSUs”). The matching RSUs vest ratably over four years on December 15th of each year, beginning the year of grant. All of the unvested matching RSUs will be forfeited if an NEO’s service (including service on the Board of Directors of RBI) is terminated for any reason (other than death or disability) prior to the date of vesting. If an NEO transfers any Investment Shares before the vesting date, he or she will forfeit 100% of the unvested matching RSUs. All of RBI’s eligible NEOs elected to participate in the 2023 Bonus Swap Program at the 50% level. On January 29, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the 2024 bonus swap program on substantially the same terms as the 2023 bonus swap program.
On January 29, 2024, the Compensation Committee determined to increase the base salary of NEOs to reflect the competitive market. These changes will be effective March 1, 2024: Mr. Kobza’s base salary will increase from $900,000 to $950,000, Mr. Dunnigan’s base salary will increase from $650,000 to $685,000 and Mr. Shear’s base salary will increase from $700,000 to $735,000. The bonus targets as a percentage of salary for NEOs have not changed.
On January 29, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the 2024 Annual Bonus Program. For 2024 annual incentive, each of the NEOs will have 25% of the target based on achievement of individual metrics which may be earned from 0% up to 100% and 75% of the target based on a mix of comparable sales achievement, net restaurant growth (“NRG”) achievement, franchisee profitability and on organic adjusted operating income (“AOI”) achievement, each of which may be earned from a threshold of 50% to a maximum of 200%; with the weighting based on the applicable business unit. For corporate roles, the weighting is 15% NRG achievement, 20% comparable sales achievement, 10% franchisee profitability achievement and 30% organic AOI achievement. Overall, any annual incentive payout will require (1) achievement of the threshold amount of organic AOI, (2) that individual achievement must also be earned at no less than 20% and (3) that certain general and administrative expense targets must be met.
On January 29, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved performance based RSUs (“PSUs”) discretionary awards to Messrs. Kobza, Dunnigan, and Shear, which consist of the following PSUs at target based on the closing price on February 22, 2024: $9 million for Mr. Kobza, $2.5 million for Mr. Dunnigan, and $4.5 million for Mr. Shear. The performance measure for purposes of determining the number of PSUs earned by each of Messrs. Kobza, Dunnigan, and Shear is the relative total shareholder return of RBI shares on the NYSE compared to the S&P 500 for the period from February 23, 2024 to February 23, 2027. The Compensation Committee established a target performance level from the 50th to 60th percentile, a performance threshold at or above which 50% of target is earned and below which no shares are earned at the 25th percentile, and a maximum performance level at the 85th percentile at or above which 150% of the target is earned. Amounts earned between threshold and 50th percentile or 60th percentile and maximum will be based on linear interpolation. Once earned, the PSUs will cliff vest on March 15, 2027. In addition, if an executive’s service to RBI is terminated (other than due to death or disability) prior to February 23, 2026, he or she will forfeit the entire award. A copy of the form of the Performance Award Agreement between RBI and each of the NEOs is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.14(c). This summary is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the form of award agreement.
