In determining 2025 base salaries for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee increased Ms. Whitney’s base salary by 5.8% and increased Messrs. Chambliss’, Little’s, Mittelstaedt’s and Shea’s base salaries by 3% to 4%, effective February 1, 2025. Annual Incentives: Management Incentive Compensation Program Our compensation program includes an annual cash incentive award to reward NEOs and other corporate officers based on our performance and the individual executive’s contribution to that performance. Under our Management Incentive Compensation Program (the “MICP”), which is administered pursuant to the 2016 Plan, each participant has an opportunity to earn an annual incentive based on a targeted percentage of the participant’s annual base salary for the year. The objective of the annual incentive is to encourage participants to manage the Company to achieve financial performance targets based on budgeted revenue. Under the MICP, the NEOs and other corporate officers of the Company are eligible to receive annual incentives. For 2024, the target annual incentives as a percentage of salary for the NEOs were as follows:
