You will participate in O-I’s Senior Management Incentive Program (“SMIP”) with a target incentive of 80% of annual earned base salary. Actual incentive earned may range from 30% to 200% of the target incentive based on company and personal performance. Once a pool is created based on the Company’s performance against the established financial metrics, 20% of your final award will be discretionary and based on your personal contributions and leadership. For 2015, your SMIP award will be prorated based on your date of hire.

Actual LTI awards may vary based upon the performance of the Company and the participant. Equity grants are made in March of each year to certain eligible employees following the review and approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

On your first day of employment or the first legally allowable date, you will receive a long-term incentive award valued at $1,300,000.
