Board Justification
PRSUs granted to our NEOs in fiscal 2022 were eligible to vest based on our TSR relative to the PRSU Index Group for the three-year performance period beginning on March 22, 2021, with any earned PRSUs vesting in April 2024. Our TSR for the three-year performance period ending March 22, 2024 was at the 54th percentile of the PRSU Index Group. As a result, 80% of the target PRSUs granted to our fiscal 2025 NEOs vested on April 15, 2024.
Performance Metrics
Performance metrics are tied to profitable growth strategy. Incentive metrics within our fiscal 2025 annual performance bonus plan are based entirely on key financial measures aligned with our external operating framework. Fiscal 2025 annual bonus payouts remain linked to pre-established objective Company performance goals, with a 100% funding cap and a 125% maximum payout based on individual performance. To further promote profitable growth, fiscal 2025 PRSUs are structured with performance metrics directly aligned to our strategy. These metrics — non-GAAP operating margin and relative TSR — are weighted equally to incentivize both operational efficiency and stock price appreciation.
