 CASH COMPONENT OF LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 The Company established
a reward target for the cash component of the three-year long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) for fiscal 2013-2015 for each Executive Officer, articulated as a percentage of base pay. Payout targets for the cash component of the
long-term incentive plan are detailed in the following table:
