Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 6, 2017, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Mastercard Incorporated (the “Company”) approved performance targets for the year ending December 31, 2017 that will be used to determine the amounts of cash bonus awards that may be paid to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and the other named executive officers disclosed in the Company’s most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (on April 29, 2016) under its Senior Executive Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (“SEAICP”). The funding of the 2017 SEAICP bonus pool will be based upon the Company’s achievement of predetermined net income and net revenue targets using a weighting of two-thirds for actual performance achieved against the net income target and one-third for actual performance achieved against the net revenue target. The Compensation Committee may decide to reduce the total amount awarded under the SEAICP at its discretion. The Compensation Committee set the individual 2017 annual cash incentive awards (as a percentage of base salary) under the SEAICP for the Company’s named executive officers as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
Name | Performance Level Achieved |
| Threshold |
| Target |
| Maximum |
|
Ajay Banga | 100 | % | 200 | % | 500 | % |
Martina Hund-Mejean | 62.5 | % | 125 | % | 312.5 | % |
Gary J. Flood | 62.5 | % | 125 | % | 312.5 | % |
Ann Cairns | 62.5 | % | 125 | % | 312.5 | % |
Chris McWilton, a previously disclosed Named Executive Officer, left the Company on December 31, 2015 and therefore does not have a performance target for 2017.
Performance below threshold would result in no cash bonus payout.
