Exhibit 10.20


Primo Water Corp.

2010 Executive Incentive Plan




 





Purpose of Plan



This Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is established to assist Primo Water Corp. (the
“Company”) in creating equitable compensation for key employees. The Plan is adopted in accordance
with and will be subject to the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus
Plan”). The Plan is intended to incent performance with a mix of short term and long term
compensation through cash and equity:





	•	 	Cash Award — Pay for performance for exceeding Company objectives
	 
	•	 	Equity Award — Provide an opportunity for annual equity award [subject to both performance
and service conditions,] comprised of 50% options and 50% restricted stock
	 
	•	 	Motivate teamwork among all key employees





Award Formula





	 	•	 	Cash Award = Incentive pool for exceeding targeted EBITDA.






	 	•	 	Incentive pool = Actual EBITDA — target EBITDA subject to following:






	 	•	 	50% of first $1,000,000 in excess of target
	 
	 	•	 	30% of the next $1,000,000 in excess of target
	 
	 	•	 	20% of any remainder excess over target EBITDA






	 	•	 	Incentive pool to be split by
executive team based on portion of individual 2010 salary paid
over total salaries of participants in the pool during the year.






	 	•	 	Equity Award = Issuance based on Company and employee specific performance as
recommended by CEO and approved by Compensation Committee






	 	•	 	Target: percent of salary based on position
	 
	 	•	 	50% Options, 50% Restricted Stock






	 	•	 	Options will be valued using a Black-Scholes model





Calculation and Payment of Awards:





	 	•	 	Awards will be calculated after year-end financial results are known,
generally after completion of the audited financial statements.
	 
	 	•	 	Award payment is dependent on the Company being in compliance with all
applicable loan agreements, as such may be amended. If any loan agreements are not
satisfied, awards shall not be paid for that fiscal year and eliminated.
	 
	 	•	 	The Compensation Committee shall review and approve the cash and equity
awards at its first meeting following the calculation of the award. Equity awards are
to be subjective based on Company and individual performance.
	 
	 	•	 	Equity awards may be subject to additional conditions or vesting
requirements, including continued periods of service beyond the performance
period.




 









 











Separation of Employment:





	 	•	 	A participant that leaves the Company voluntarily, is dismissed for Cause (as
defined in the Omnibus Plan), or is terminated by the Company shall forfeit all rights
to his/her current-year award.
	 
	 	•	 	A participant who separates employment because of death, Disability or Change
in Control (Disability and Change in Control have the same meanings as in the Omnibus
Plan) shall be eligible for a current-year award. In the event of a participant’s
retirement from the Company, the Committee shall have discretion to award the
participant a full or pro-rata share of his or her current-year award. In the case of
a participant’s death, payments shall be made to the participant’s estate.






	 	•	 	Upon separation, awards for the current year shall be at the sole discretion of
the Board.

	 	•	 	The Board may add or remove employees in the Plan at any time without prior notice.

	 	•	 	Nothing contained in this Plan shall give any employee the right to be
retained in the employment of the Company or effect the right of the Company to
relocate, change positions, or dismiss any employee.
	 
	 	•	 	The Compensation Committee reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
make adjustments to the Plan or to individual awards when it believes the integrity,
