CASH 2018 Proxy Statement

The actual percentage multiplier (81.0% for the CEO, President and CFO and 90.9% for all other NEOs) for fiscal 2018 was multiplied by both the maximum equity incentive compensation percentage and the NEO's base salary, and the product was used to determine the equity incentive compensation awarded to the NEO. The equity incentive awards made to the NEOs, based on actual performance relative to performance targets established by the Compensation Committee for fiscal 2018, were as follows: Equity Incentive Awards Name # of Shares of Restricted Stock Actual Award as a % of Base Salary Maximum Potential Award as a % of Base Salary J. Tyler Haahr 65,639 202.5% 250.0% Bradley C. Hanson 65,639 202.5% 250.0% Glen W. Herrick 23,028 128.5% 158.8% Michael K. Goik 7,973 46.0% 67.5% Sheree S. Thornsberry 7,637 51.1% 56.3% Shelly A. Schneekloth 4,480 34.1% 37.5% The number of shares of restricted stock awarded on October 16, 2018 to each of the NEOs was based on meeting the quantitative measures disclosed above and was determined by taking the indicated percentage multiplied by the applicable individual's base salary, and then dividing by a fixed price of $25.11 (which was the closing stock price on October 16, 2018). Discretionary amounts for Messrs. Haahr, Hanson and Herrick were not yet determined as of this date. The discretionary amounts for Messrs. Haahr, Hanson and Herrick were determined by the Compensation Committee on November 12, 2018. The number of shares of restricted stock awarded on November 12, 2018 to Messrs. Haahr, Hanson and Herrick was determined by taking the indicated percentage of the discretionary amounts determined by the Compensation Committee multiplied by the applicable individual’s base salary, and then divided by a fixed price of $25.11 (which was the closing stock price on November 12, 2018). For all grants related to fiscal 2018 compensation, which were awarded on October 16 and November 12, one-third of such stock grants were immediately vested on the date of grant, one-third vest on October 16, 2019, and the remaining one-third vest on October 16, 2020. The executive officer compensation program is reviewed by the Board of Directors on an annual basis and revised as necessary. Tax Consequences Code Section 162(m) limits deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executives but exempts qualifying performance-based compensation with respect to taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2017, and compensation payable under a written binding contract in effect on, and not materially modified after, November 2, 2017. The Compensation Committee currently intends tomaximize the tax deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers where possible. However, the Compensation Committee also realizes that to attract and retain individuals with superior talent and for other purposes determined to be valuable, it may pay compensation to our executive officers that may not be deductible due to the limit imposed by Code Section 162(m).
