Annual Cash Incentive for 2018
On February 26, 2018 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Brown & Brown, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the annual cash incentive for 2018 for the Company’s executive officers, including the named executive officers, pursuant to which they are eligible to receive a cash incentive payment based on the achievement of certain performance objectives in 2018. The terms of the annual cash incentive are not contained in a formal written document.
Each named executive officer’s annual cash incentive payment amount will consist of three components (the calculation of which may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee, at its discretion, to exclude the effect of items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring), which are as follows:
• | The first component, which will affect 40% of the 2018 cash incentive amount, is based on specified organic revenue growth targets, which, for named executive officers whose responsibilities encompass the Company as a whole rather than being tied to a particular division, will be calculated based upon the organic revenue growth of the Company as a whole, and for named executive officers with divisional operational responsibilities, will be calculated based upon the organic revenue growth of the offices for which each such executive officer has oversight responsibility. |
• | The second component, which will affect 40% of the 2018 cash incentive amount, will be determined based upon performance of the Company’s EBITDAC margin (“EBITDAC Margin”), which is the Company’s income before income taxes less amortization, depreciation, interest, and the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables, divided by total revenues. |
• | The third component, which will affect 20% of the 2018 cash incentive amount, will be linked to the achievement of personal objectives of the named executive officer as determined by the Compensation Committee. |
Each of the components described above contemplates a minimum payout of 0% of each named executive officer’s target cash incentive amount and a maximum payout of 200% of each named executive officer’s target cash incentive amount (in the case of Mr. Penny, however, the foregoing components are weighted 25% based on specified organic revenue growth targets, 25% based upon EBITDAC Margin, and 50% based on achievement of personal objectives). The target cash incentive amounts for our named executive officers for 2018 are as follows: J. Powell Brown - $1,400,000; R. Andrew Watts - $625,000; J. Scott Penny - $800,000; Anthony T. Strianese - $850,000; Chris L. Walker - $900,000.
