The awards, made under the terms of the Company&#8217;s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, are based on a percentage (ranging from 110% to 125% for the Company&#8217;s Senior Vice Presidents and 275% for Mr. Rebelez) of base salary for the 2020 fiscal year, and consist of three types of equity awards: (i) time-based restricted stock units (&#8220;RSUs&#8221;), comprising 25% of the award amount; (ii) performance-based restricted stock units (&#8220;PSUs&#8221;) subject to return on invested capital (&#8220;ROIC&#8221;) performance goals, comprising 37.5% of the award amount; and (iii) PSUs subject to relative total shareholder return (&#8220;TSR&#8221;) performance goals, comprising 37.5% of the award amount. The PSUs awarded based on ROIC and relative TSR represent a &#8220;target&#8221; amount, with the actual number of shares earned ranging from 0% to 200% of each &#8220;target&#8221;, based on performance over a three-year performance period (fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022). Such RSUs and PSUs will vest in full on June&#160;15, 2022 (or, in the case of Mr. Rebelez, June 24, 2022), subject to continued employment with the Company through the vesting date and the satisfaction of the applicable performance metrics, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;font-style:italic;">2020 Fiscal Year Named Executive Officer Base Salaries</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;">On June 5, 2019, the Board, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved base salaries for the following named executive officers for the 2020 fiscal year: (i) Mr. Walljasper, $613,000; (ii) Ms. Jackowski, $592,500; (iii) Mr. Soupene, $453,200; and (iv) Ms. Summers, $445,000.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;font-style:italic;">2020 Fiscal Year Annual Incentive Plan Awards</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:13pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:13pt;">On June 5, 2019, the Board, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, also approved annual incentive compensation for the 2020 fiscal year (the &#8220;2020 Annual Plan&#8221;).

  .
  2019 Fiscal Year Annual Incentive Plan Payments
  On June 4, 2019, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized payment to the Company's named executive officers under the 2019 fiscal year Annual Incentive Plan (the "2019 Annual Plan"). Based on the Company's performance during the 2019 fiscal year, the payments are equal to 128.7% of the "target" payout under the 2019 Annual Plan for each named executive officer (which "target" is represented by a percentage of their 2019 fiscal year base salary), resulting in the following payments: (i) Terry W. Handley, President and Chief Executive Officer, $1,190,475; (ii) William J. Walljasper, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, $536,036; (iii) Julia L. Jackowski, Senior Vice President-Corporate General Counsel and Secretary, $495,656; (iv) John C. Soupene, Senior Vice President-Operations, $396,396; and (v) Cindi W. Summers, Senior Vice President-Human Resources, $363,899.
  2020 Fiscal Year Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards
  On June 4, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved annual long-term equity incentive awards to its named executive officers (other than Mr. Handley, who is retiring from the Company effective June 23, 2019, but including Darren M. Rebelez, who has been elected to succeed Mr. Handley as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer effective June 24, 2019).  The awards, made under the terms of the Company's 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, are based on a percentage (ranging from 110% to 125% for the Company's Senior Vice Presidents and 275% for Mr. Rebelez) of base salary for the 2020 fiscal year, and consist of three types of equity awards: (i) time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"), comprising 25% of the award amount; (ii) performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") subject to return on invested capital ("ROIC") performance goals, comprising 37.5% of the award amount; and (iii) PSUs subject to relative total shareholder return ("TSR") performance goals, comprising 37.5% of the award amount. The PSUs awarded based on ROIC and relative TSR represent a "target" amount, with the actual number of shares earned ranging from 0% to 200% of each "target", based on performance over a three-year performance period (fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022). Such RSUs and PSUs will vest in full on June 15, 2022 (or, in the case of Mr. Rebelez, June 24, 2022), subject to continued employment with the Company through the vesting date and the satisfaction of the applicable performance metrics, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement.
  2020 Fiscal Year Named Executive Officer Base Salaries
  On June 5, 2019, the Board, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved base salaries for the following named executive officers for the 2020 fiscal year: (i) Mr. Walljasper, $613,000; (ii) Ms. Jackowski, $592,500; (iii) Mr. Soupene, $453,200; and (iv) Ms. Summers, $445,000.
  2020 Fiscal Year Annual Incentive Plan Awards
  On June 5, 2019, the Board, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, also approved annual incentive compensation for the 2020 fiscal year (the "2020 Annual Plan").  Similar to the 2019 fiscal year, the 2020 Annual Plan will continue to be based on diluted EPS (50%), with the remaining 50% based on same-store sales growth and gross profit margin in both fuel (20%) and inside sales (30%).  A "circuit breaker" will be utilized, under which a minimum level of diluted EPS is required before any bonus can be earned. The payout at "target" is based on a percentage (ranging from 65% to 70% for the Company's Senior Vice Presidents and 100% for Mr. Rebelez) of base salary for the 2020 fiscal year, with an overall payout range from 0% to 200% of "target" depending on performance. All bonuses earned under the 2020 Annual Plan will be paid in cash.
