Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) On December 10, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
(the "Compensation Committee") of EMCORE Corporation (the "Company") approved
the EMCORE Corporation Fiscal 2021 Bonus Plan (the "2021 Bonus Plan"), which
sets forth the terms of the fiscal 2021 annual incentive bonus opportunity for
eligible employees of the Company. Under the 2021 Bonus Plan, the Company's
executive officers are eligible to receive cash bonus awards that are determined
based on the Company's non-GAAP net income, as defined in the 2021 Bonus Plan,
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021. For the Company's executive
officers, the amount, if any, of the annual cash bonus payable under the 2021
Bonus Plan will be based 100% on the Company's achievement of such metric. Under
the 2021 Bonus Plan, the target bonus opportunity for Jeffrey Rittichier, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer, is 90% of his annual base salary at the end
of the fiscal year, the target bonus opportunity for Tom Minichiello, the
Company's Chief Financial Officer, is 50% of his annual base salary at the end
of the fiscal year, the target bonus opportunity for Albert Lu, the Company's
SVP, Engineering, is 60% of his annual base salary at the end of the fiscal year
and the target bonus for Ian Black, the Company's SVP, Operations, is 60% of his
annual base salary at the end of the fiscal year. The amount of cash bonus
payable to each executive officer under the 2021 Bonus Plan will range from 0%
to 120% of the executive's target bonus opportunity based on the Company's
non-GAAP net income, as defined in the 2021 Bonus Plan, for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2021 relative to a target established by the Compensation
Committee. With respect to the Company's executive officers, bonuses, if any,
under the 2021 Bonus Plan will be payable in cash after the end of the 2021
fiscal year and no later than March 15, 2022.
