Equity Awards to Executive Officers

On January 3, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors awarded RSUs to the Company’s executive officers and other key employees in accordance with the Company’s Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program. The performance metrics and weighting percentages for the awards under the LTI were revised for 2022. For the annual Short-Term Incentive (STI), the metrics (and corresponding weight) for Helios corporate employees are: Helios Revenue (30%); Helios Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) (40%); Helios Adjusted Free Cash Flow (20%) and Personal Goal (10%). For subsidiary executives the metrics are: Segment Revenue (20%); Segment Adjusted EBITDA (40%); Segment Adjusted Free Cash Flow (30%); and Personal Goal (10%). Each executive will have a target bonus opportunity that will be set individually as a percentage of the executive’s base salary. For the Long-Term Incentive (LTI), the metrics (and corresponding weight) for Helios executives are: Helios Adjusted EBITDA Margin (50%) and Helios Adjusted Earnings Per Share (50%). The LTI metrics for subsidiary executives are: Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin (50%) and Segment Adjusted Earnings Per Share (50%). For 2022, provided that the minimum threshold performance is met with respect to each performance metric, payout for that performance metric may be up to 200% of the (i) target bonus allocated to that metric for STI, and (ii) number of performance based RSUs allocated to that metric for LTI. RSUs were issued to the executive officers listed below:
