Approval of 2012 Performance Bonus Plan
An Annual Meeting of the stockholders of National CineMedia, Inc. (the Company) was held on May 1, 2012. At the Annual
Meeting, stockholders approved the National CineMedia, Inc. 2012 Performance Bonus Plan (the Bonus Plan) for the Companys executive officers. The Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors adopted the Bonus
Plan on January 11, 2012, and the Board of Directors approved and directed that the Bonus Plan be submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
The purpose of the Bonus Plan is to create a financial incentive for executives of the Company to meet or exceed certain key internal financial performance metric targets (or budgets). All executive
officers of the Company are eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan.
Under the Bonus Plan, each executive officer will have
a performance bonus potential based on a specified percentage of his annual base salary at the end of the 2012 fiscal year for which a bonus is being paid (prorated in the case of an executive not employed for the full year). The performance bonus
potential will vary depending on the executive officers title, business unit and level of responsibility. In addition to the potential performance bonus award, all officers (including the executive officers) will be eligible for a
stretch bonus under the Bonus Plan. The stretch bonus, if any, will be payable only if the Company exceeds the Adjusted OIBDA budget and will be incremental to the performance bonus awards described above. The amount of the stretch bonus
will be equal to: (i) the actual performance bonus award paid to the executive, times (ii) 50%, times (iii) the percentage that the Companys actual Adjusted OIBDA is in excess of the budgeted Adjusted OIBDA (capped at 10%)
divided by 10%.
The performance bonus awards and stretch bonus awards, if any, will be paid as soon as practicable after the
fiscal 2012 annual audit is completed by the Companys independent auditors. No executive will be eligible for a bonus award under the Bonus Plan if he is not employed by us on the date the bonus awards are paid unless otherwise approved by the
Compensation Committee.
Awards under the Bonus Plan are based on actual future performance. As a result, the amounts that
will be paid under the Bonus Plan are not currently determinable. The following table sets forth the maximum awards payable under the Bonus Plan based upon the maximum potential per the terms of the Bonus Plan and the maximum limit of 250% of each
officers base salary in effect on January 11, 2012.
