Performance Period Generally two-year performance periods will be used.
> For BVA: overlapping cycles beginning each year.
To phase into the program, two performance periods began in 2001.
- 2001: One year cycle with 50% of normal target incentives for those transitioning
from 2000 - 2001 SIP. (Current 2000 - 2001 SIP cycle shortened to one year. Pay out
accrued, but will not be paid until regularly scheduled date - February, 2002.)
- 2001 - 2002: Two year cycle
Beginning in 2002 and in each year thereafter a new two-year cycle will begin.
> For Strategic Factors: two-year, end-to-end cycles. Partial pay outs before the
end of a performance cycle may be considered.
