    Annual (Cash) Incentive Compensation

    

    

    As an Otis executive, you are eligible to receive annual awards under the Otis annual cash Incentive Compensation (IC) program.  Individual awards, when made, are a function of one or more individual, company and Otis Group performance, measured

      income tax payable for such awards.
