Bonus Program
As noted above, the cash-based portion of the incentive program (the “Bonus Program”) rewards executives for the achievement of annual financial and operational goals, which are established by the Compensation Committee. Each executive officer has a target bonus opportunity set for each performance period under the Bonus Program, which represents 50% of the individual’s total potential award. Our Compensation Committee took into account market data, relative levels of responsibility across our company, and other relevant factors in order to set the target awards for each of our NEOs. For fiscal year 2024, the NEOs had the following payment targets under the Bonus Program:
| Named Executive Officer | Target Award as a Percentage of Base Salary | Target Award |
|---|---|---|
| Brendan S. Jones | 60% | $465,000 |
| Michael P. Rama | 50% | $217,300 |
| Aviv Hillo | 50% | $215,250 |
| Harjinder Bhade | 60% | $315,000 |
| Michael C. Battaglia | 50% | $185,540 |
The award payable to each NEO was primarily based on actual achievement against performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. For each metric, the Compensation Committee set a target level of achievement and the initial award amount may be adjusted based on performance above or below the target level. In addition, the Compensation Committee may take into account other factors, such as individual performance when arriving at the final award amount.
The targets and outcomes of the Bonus Program are described below.
| Metric · Weighting · Target · Achievement · Percent Achievement · Percentage of Bonus Payout | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 20% | $165 million or more (excluding Blink Mobility) | $120.1 million | 0% | 0% | |
| Gross Margin | 20% | Obtain gross margin of 37% by the end of Q4 2024 | 35% | 50% | 10% | |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 25% | Achieve positive adjusted EBITDA run rate by December 2024 (excluding Blink Mobility) | Positive adjusted EBITDA was not achieved, however, there was substantial progress on cost savings | 20% | 5% | |
| Technology | 15% | Secure and deploy Blink Global Network; deploy new products; and complete prototype of products | Blink 2.0 network deployed in both North America and Europe | 100% | 15% | |
| Customer Satisfaction | 10% | Obtain industry average | PlugShare score not met | 0% | 0% | |
| Spin off of Blink Mobility | 10% | Spin off Blink Mobility by end of Q3 2024 | Filed the Registration Statement on Form S-1 | 100% | 10% | |
| Total | 40 | %(1) | ||||
(1) The total bonus percentage was initially approved by the Board at 40% of the total target amount. Subsequent to payment of the cash portion of such amount to the NEOs, it was determined that the total bonus percentage should have been at the 30% level after further consideration of the company’s performance. As a result, we determined to award the equity portion of the Bonus Program, which had yet to be issued, at the 20% level to compensate for such reduction.
The corporate performance goals will be measured at the end of each performance period after our financial reports have been published or such other appropriate time as our Compensation Committee determines. If the corporate performance goals and individual performance objectives are met, payments will be made as soon as practicable following the end of each performance period. In general, an executive officer must be employed by us on the bonus payment date to be eligible to receive a bonus payment. The Bonus Program also permits our Compensation Committee to approve additional bonuses to executive officers in its sole discretion, which are described below.
Based on review of performance against established goals as well as consideration of individual performance, the Compensation Committee determined the following payouts for our NEOs:
| Named Executive Officer | Target Award | Actual Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Brendan S. Jones | $465,000 | $186,000 |
| Michael P. Rama | $217,300 | $86,920 |
| Aviv Hillo | $215,250 | $86,100 |
| Harjinder Bhade | $315,000 | $126,000 |
| Michael C. Battaglia | $185,540 | $74,216 |
