The Named Executive Officers will continue to participate in the Company's Executive Incentive Compensation Plan at the following target awards for the Company's fiscal year ending July 31, 2020:
•Dheeraj Pandey: $600,000;
•Duston Williams: $300,000;
•David Sangster: $300,000; and
•Tyler Wall: $175,000.
Mr. Pandey also received a grant of 200,000 restricted stock units (the "Performance RSUs") that may vest based on the achievement of an average stock price of $65 over an approximately 4.5-year performance period (the "Performance Period"), and subject to Mr. Pandey’s continuous service to the Company on each vesting date.

The Average Stock Price will be measured once per quarter during the Performance Period, and:

•If the Average Stock Price on any given quarterly measurement date equals or exceeds $65, then 1/18th of the Performance RSUs plus the applicable Carryover RSUs, if any, would vest; and/or
•If the Average Stock Price never equals or exceeds $65 during the Performance Period, the Performance RSUs would terminate at the end of the Performance Period.
