Cardtronics, Inc.

2015 Annual Bonus Pool Allocation Plan

 

 

Stockholders of Cardtronics, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2nd Amended and
Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The principal objectives of
the Plan were to provide a means through which the Company: (i) could attract
able persons to serve as employees or directors of the Company; and (ii) provide
such individuals with incentive and reward opportunities designed to enhance the
long term profitable growth of the Company and its Affiliates.  In furtherance
of those objectives, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has adopted by
resolution the following 2015 Annual Bonus Pool Allocation Plan (the “Pool
Plan”) consistent with Section IX.  (b) of the Plan to provide funding of and
limits to awards granted to participants of the Annual Executive Cash Incentive
Plan (the “AECIP”). This Pool Plan is not intended to provide additional
compensation to participants but simply to ensure incentives paid to
participants are qualified performance-based compensation under IRC 162(m).

 

All capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.    Members of the Cardtronics,
Inc. (Cardtronics or the Company) executive leadership team that are designated
in Exhibit A of this Pool Plan are the participants.

Performance Metrics

Company’s 10-K for the fiscal   year.    

 

II.

Calculation of Earned Incentives

A.

The calculation of incentive funding under this Pool Plan shall not infer any
participant’s right to an incentive award for 2015.  Rather, this Pool Plan
provides only the funding for the participants awards which will be determined
by the results of the 2015 Annual Executive Cash Incentive Plan (“AECIP”) per
the terms and conditions of the AECIP.

 

III.

Effective Date

 

The Pool Plan is effective as of January 1, 2015.  Pool Plan funding will be
