The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any award shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

 

	
			4.

				
			PARTICIPATION

			

 

Only employees of the Company designated as Participants by the Committee are eligible under the Plan. Participation in the Plan in one Plan Year is not a guarantee of participation in a future Plan Year.

 

	
			5.

				
			INDIVIDUAL TARGET AWARDS FOR PARTICIPANTS

			

 

At the beginning of each Plan Year, the Committee shall establish one or more Individual Target Awards for each Participant. Individual Target Awards are targets only and the amount of any target may or may not be paid to the Participant. Establishment of one or more Individual Target Awards for an employee for any Plan Year shall not imply or require that Individual Target Awards or an Individual Target Award at any specified level will be set for any subsequent year. The amount of any actual award paid to any Participant may be greater or less than the target. As set forth in Section 7.4 below, the actual award may be increased or decreased, including to zero, as determined by the Committee in its discretion for any Plan Year.

 

 

 

 

	
			6.

				
			BASIS OF AWARDS 

			

 

6.1    Performance Goals. The Committee shall establish measures, which may include financial and non-financial objectives (“Performance Goals”) for the Company. These Performance Goals shall be determined by the Committee in advance of each Plan Year or within such period as determined by the Committee. The performance criteria to be used in setting Performance Goals may be any of the following, either alone or in any combination, which may be expressed with respect to the Company or one or more subsidiaries or business or operating units, as the Committee may determine:

 

	
			revenue

				
			earnings per share

				
			net operating profits, net of taxes

				
			earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)

				
			net operating assets

			
	
			net income and adjusted net income

				
			return on stockholder equity

				
			net asset value

				
			return on equity

				
			general and administrative costs

			
	
			gross margin / gross profit margin

				
			return on capital

				
			cost of capital and weighted average cost of capital

				
			operating income and adjusted operating income

				
			safety incident rate (including total injury incident rate, OSHA recordable injury rate and lost time injury rate, days away, restricted or transferred)

			
	
			operating margin

				
			return on net assets

				
			economic profit

				
			gross profit

				
			total shareholder return

			
	
			selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A)

				
			economic value added

				
			return on assets

				
			return on invested capital

				
			backlog

			
	
			cash flow and operating cash flow

				
			earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

				
			overhead

				 	 

 

Performance Goals may be determined on an absolute basis or relative to internal goals or relative to levels attained in prior years or related to other companies or indices or as ratios expressing relationships between two or more Performance Goals or in such other manner as determined by the Committee. In addition, Performance Goals may be based upon the attainment of specified levels of Company performance under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other corporations.

 

6.2    Adjustment of Performance Goals. The Committee may make adjustments in the method of calculating the attainment of Performance Goals for a Plan Year, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, during the Performance Period. To the extent specified by the Committee in such documents setting forth the Performance Goals at the time the Performance Goals are established (including but not limited to an award agreement), the Committee may make adjustments in the method of calculating the attainment of Performance Goals for a Plan Year to exclude any one or more of the following:

 

(a)    restructuring charges;

 

(b)    exchange rate effects;

 

 

 

 

(c)    the effects of changes to generally accepted accounting principles;

 

(d)    the effects of any statutory adjustments to corporate tax rates;

 

(e)    the effects of the award of bonuses under the Company’s bonus plans;

 

(f)    costs and expenses arising out of the pursuit and/or acquisition and/or divestiture of a business regardless of whether the acquisition or divestiture was consummated, including pre-purchase due diligence costs, expenses, fees and post-acquisition integration in the year of acquisition;

 

(g)    all net income/loss of any acquisitions will be excluded in the year of acquisition; and

 

(h)    impairment charges of long lived assets and intangibles as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

 

6.3    Performance Goals related to more than One Operating Unit of the Company. Awards may be based on performance against objectives for one or more subsidiary or business or operating unit of the Company. For example, awards for corporate management may be based on overall corporate performance against objectives, but awards for a business unit’s management may be based on a combination of corporate, business unit and sub-unit performance against objectives.

 

6.4    Individual Performance. Individual performance of each Participant may be measured and used in determining awards under the Plan.

 

	
			7.

				
			AWARD DETERMINATION 

			

 

7.1    Award Determined by Committee. After any Plan Year for which an Individual Target Award is established for a Participant under the Plan, the Committee shall review and approve, modify or disapprove the amount, if any, to be paid to the Participant for the Plan Year. The amount paid shall be the Individual Target Award adjusted to reflect both the results against the Participant’s Performance Goals and, in the Committee's discretion, the Participant’s individual performance. All awards are subject to adjustment at the sole discretion of the Committee.

 

7.2    Financial and Non-Financial Performance. Individual Target Award amounts may be modified based on the achievement of financial and non-financial objectives by the Company and relevant business or operating units and/or sub-units of the Company. Performance results against objectives shall be reviewed and approved by the Committee in accordance with Section 6.2 above, as applicable.

 

7.3    Individual Performance. Any Individual Target Award, adjusted to reflect financial performance, may be further adjusted with the review and approval of the Committee to give full weight to the Participant’s individual performance during the Plan Year.

 

7.4    Overall Effect. The combination of any financial performance adjustment and individual performance adjustment may increase the amount paid under the Plan to a Participant for any Plan Year as determined by the Committee, and may reduce any amount payable including to zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may increase or reduce (including to zero) any amount payable hereunder for any reason.

 

 

 

 

	
			8.

				
			PAYMENT OF AWARDS 

			

 

An award under the Plan shall be paid in cash in a single sum to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after Determination Date, unless the Participant elects to defer his or her award pursuant to the terms and conditions of the NQDC and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that an award is not deferred under the NQDC, such award shall be paid no later than two and one-half months following the end of the Plan Year.

 

	
			9.

				
			EMPLOYMENT ON PAYMENT DATE 

			

 

9.1    No award shall be made to any Participant who is terminated for Cause.

 

9.2    Except as provided in Section 9.3 below, no award shall be made to any Participant who is not an active employee of the Company on the Payment Date.

The award shall be prorated on the basis of the ratio the numerator of which is the number of whole months of the Participant’s service during the Plan Year and the denominator of which is twelve.

 

	
			10.

				
			WITHHOLDING TAXES

			

 

Whenever the payment of an award is made, such payment shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements and authorized deductions.

 

	
			11.

				
			CLAWBACK/RECOVERY. 

			

 

Awards under the Plan are and will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the Company's current clawback policy or any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by applicable law.

 

	
			12.

				
			EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS 

			

 

Neither the Plan nor designation as a Plan Participant shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain employed by the Company. The Company reserves the right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time, with or without cause or for no cause, subject only to a written employment contract (if any).

 

	
			13.

				
			NONASSIGNMENT; PARTICIPANTS ARE GENERAL CREDITORS 

			

 

13.1    The interest of any Participant under the Plan shall not be assignable either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law (except by designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries to the extent allowed under the NQDC with respect to amounts deferred under Section 8) and any attempted assignment shall be null, void and of no effect.

 

13.2    Amounts paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, and each Participant shall be no more than an unsecured general creditor of the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the Company for payment of any obligations hereunder. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind for the benefit of any Participant, or create any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant with respect to any assets of the Company.

 

 

 

 

	
			14.

				
			AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION 

			

 

The Board may terminate or suspend the Plan at any time. The Committee may amend the Plan at any time; provided that no amendment shall retroactively and adversely affect the payment of any award previously made.

			INTERPRETATION AND SEVERABILITY

			

 

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in the Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer of the Company certifies that the foregoing sets forth the Granite Construction Incorporated Annual Incentive Plan as duly adopted by the Board on 30, 2022.
