Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 29, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "
Compensation Committee
") of BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. (the "
Company
") adopted a Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan (the "
Bonus Plan
"). The Bonus Plan provides for cash bonus payments based upon the attainment of performance targets established by the Compensation Committee, or its delegee. The performance targets may be related to financial and operational measures or objectives with respect to the Company (the "
Corporate Performance Goals
"), as well as individual performance objectives. The Bonus Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee, which will have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Bonus Plan, and under the terms of the Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer full power and authority to administer and interpret the Bonus Plan and any cash bonuses awarded under the Bonus Plan with respect to Non-Executive Participants (as defined in the Bonus Plan).
Each key employee who is selected to participate in the Bonus Plan (a "
Covered Participant
") will have a target bonus opportunity set for each performance period. The bonus formulas will be adopted in each performance period by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each Covered Participant at the beginning of each performance period. The Corporate Performance Goals will be measured at the end of each performance period. If the Corporate Performance Goals and individual performance objectives are met, payments will be made as soon as practicable following the end of each performance period, but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the fiscal year in which such performance bonus is deemed earned by the Compensation Committee or its delegee. Subject to the rights contained in any agreement between the Covered Participant and the Company or unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, a Covered Participant must be employed by the Company on the bonus payment date to be eligible to receive a bonus payment.
The foregoing description of the Bonus Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Bonus Plan, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
