&#8220;Company&#8221;) granted long-term incentive (&#8220;LTI&#8221;) awards under the Company&#8217;s Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, to the Company&#8217;s named executive officers (&#8220;NEOs&#8221;) for fiscal year 2020.</span></div><div style="text-indent:24.75pt;margin-bottom:9pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255,

in terms of both financial performance and share value creation for the Company&#8217;s stockholders. As the Company plans to complete its transformation from a provider of postsecondary education services to an education technology services company in 2020, the Compensation Committee reviewed long-term incentive awards of peer companies from both sectors to establish a value, in targeted dollar amounts, at approximately the 50th percentile for each NEO commensurate with his position and responsibilities. It then computed the number of shares equal to such dollar amount by using a price per share over two times the current market price (and three times the price at time of design) which is significantly higher than the current trading price so NEOs will receive the targeted dollar amount from such awards only if the Company&#8217;s price per share increases significantly.</span></div><div style="text-indent:24.75pt;margin-bottom:9pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The LTI awards are also comprised of time-vested restricted stock units (&#8220;RSUs&#8221;) and performance stock units (&#8220;PSUs&#8221;), with 60% of the total number of shares awarded being PSUs. The RSUs vest 1/3 each year while the PSUs vest only after three years based on the level of attainment against the Company&#8217;s free cash flow target for fiscal year 2020.  With respect to the portion of the target number of PSUs to vest upon achievement of the 2020 free cash flow target, the Compensation Committee determined that if a threshold of the free cash flow target is met, the number of PSUs to vest will be based on the performance within a range of 60% up to a maximum of 140% of the free cash flow target.  The actual number of PSUs that will vest will range from 50% up to 200% of the target number of PSUs.</span></div><div style="text-indent:24.75pt;margin-bottom:9pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The number of RSUs and PSUs granted are shown below:</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;"><table style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt;display:inline-table;width:100.000%;"><tr><td style="width:1.0%;"></td><td style="width:54.578%;"></td><td style="width:1.0%;"></td><td style="width:0.1%;"></td><td style="width:0.384%;"></td><td style="width:0.1%;"></td><td style="width:1.0%;"></td><td style="width:18.029%;"></td><td style="width:1.0%;"></td><td style="width:0.1%;"></td><td style="width:0.384%;"></td><td style="width:0.1%;"></td><td style="width:1.0%;"></td><td style="width:20.225%;"></td><td style="width:1.0%;"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"></td><td colspan="9" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">2020 LTI Awards</span></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none;"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none;"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Name</span></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);"></span></span></td><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">RSUs</span></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);"></span></span></td><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Target Number of PSUs</span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:#cceeff;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;border-top:1pt solid #000;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Andrew S.

Under the 2020 STI Plan they are eligible to receive annual performance-based cash bonuses related to the Company&#8217;s performance in 2020 based on the achievement of company-wide performance targets related to revenue, EBITDA and quality, with such metrics receiving weightings of 35%, 35% and 30%, respectively.

Actual bonus amounts paid may be more or less than the target bonus amounts, provided that if either of the financial performance metrics are below a pre-determined threshold, then zero bonus would be earned for the respective revenue or EBITDA component of the 2020 STI Plan cash bonus. With respect to the portion of the target bonus amount payable upon achievement of the financial performance targets, the Compensation Committee determined that if the threshold of the performance measure is met, the bonus amount will be paid based on performance within a range (i) from 85% up to a maximum of 115% of the revenue target and (ii) from 60% up to a maximum of 140% of the EBITDA target.

Item 5.02.      Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 12, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") of Zovio Inc (the "Company") granted long-term incentive ("LTI") awards under the Company's Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, to the Company's named executive officers ("NEOs") for fiscal year 2020.
The Compensation Committee designed the 2020 LTI awards to be more performance demanding in terms of both financial performance and share value creation for the Company's stockholders. As the Company plans to complete its transformation from a provider of postsecondary education services to an education technology services company in 2020, the Compensation Committee reviewed long-term incentive awards of peer companies from both sectors to establish a value, in targeted dollar amounts, at approximately the 50th percentile for each NEO commensurate with his position and responsibilities. It then computed the number of shares equal to such dollar amount by using a price per share over two times the current market price (and three times the price at time of design) which is significantly higher than the current trading price so NEOs will receive the targeted dollar amount from such awards only if the Company's price per share increases significantly.
The LTI awards are also comprised of time-vested restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"), with 60% of the total number of shares awarded being PSUs. The RSUs vest 1/3 each year while the PSUs vest only after three years based on the level of attainment against the Company's free cash flow target for fiscal year 2020.  With respect to the portion of the target number of PSUs to vest upon achievement of the 2020 free cash flow target, the Compensation Committee determined that if a threshold of the free cash flow target is met, the number of PSUs to vest will be based on the performance within a range of 60% up to a maximum of 140% of the free cash flow target.  The actual number of PSUs that will vest will range from 50% up to 200% of the target number of PSUs.
The number of RSUs and PSUs granted are shown below:
2020 LTI Awards
Name
RSUs
Target Number of PSUs
Andrew S. Clark
224,360
336,540
Kevin S. Royal
70,220
105,330
In addition to the LTI awards above, the two NEOs participate in the Company's 2020 Short Term Incentive Plan (the "2020 STI Plan"). Under the 2020 STI Plan they are eligible to receive annual performance-based cash bonuses related to the Company's performance in 2020 based on the achievement of company-wide performance targets related to revenue, EBITDA and quality, with such metrics receiving weightings of 35%, 35% and 30%, respectively. The performance for the quality target will require the achievement by the Company of certain defined metrics such as customer and employee satisfaction.
Unchanged from 2019, the 2020 STI Plan target bonus amounts for Andrew S. Clark and Kevin S. Royal are 100% and 55%, respectively, of their annual base salaries, although no bonus was paid to either of the NEO's for 2019 as both voluntarily forfeited their STI bonus for the year. Actual bonus amounts paid may be more or less than the target bonus amounts, provided that if either of the financial performance metrics are below a pre-determined threshold, then zero bonus would be earned for the respective revenue or EBITDA component of the 2020 STI Plan cash bonus. With respect to the portion of the target bonus amount payable upon achievement of the financial performance targets, the Compensation Committee determined that if the threshold of the performance measure is met, the bonus amount will be paid based on performance within a range (i) from 85% up to a maximum of 115% of the revenue target and (ii) from 60% up to a maximum of 140% of the EBITDA target. The 2020 STI Plan will pay a minimum of 50% of the target cash bonus for each financial metric if the respective threshold is attained and up to 200% of the target cash bonus for each financial metric if the respective maximum is attained.
The Compensation Committee retained discretion to award a lesser or greater bonus amount if the quality metric is below or above the target and established adjustment rules and principles for both the 2020 STI and 2020 LTI plans.
The Company's Compensation Committee believes that by (i) requiring the Company's share price to increase significantly in order for the NEO to earn the full value of his targeted LTI award based on similar positions in peer companies, (ii) the weighting of the performance portion of the LTI awards at 60%, and (iii) vesting occurring only after the third year for all of the PSUs, along with the cash bonuses under 2020 STI Plan described herein appropriately incentivizes management's short-term and long-term efforts and performance to align with the interests of stockholders.
Item 5.07.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
