(e) Cash Retention Performance Awards Plan
On April 4, 2018, the Compensation and Executive Development Committee (the Committee) of the Board of Directors of Jamba, Inc. (the Company) established a cash retention performance awards plan (the Plan) where cash incentive awards (the Awards) were provided to certain key executives which provide for payout to participants based upon stock price performance using the payout schedule set forth in the chart below. Target payouts would occur based upon the Companys common stock trading at a price per share of $15.00, with linear interpolation between higher and lower payout levels based on the price thresholds set forth below.

The Awards for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice Presidents were designed to supplement the previously granted performance-based restricted stock units which have existing vesting thresholds at $19.50, $24.00 and $28.50 to restore continuing incentive in the equity compensation of such executives in consideration of the Companys current trading price. The Plan provides that for Senior Vice Presidents and above, the Awards would be cancelled if previously granted $19.50 performance shares are earned during the Performance Period; if $19.50 performance shares are not earned, then the maximum stock price achievement under the Plan is $19.49 per share. The Awards were also provided to certain Company Vice Presidents.
The performance period continues through June 30, 2019 (the Performance Period) which aligns with the last performance period of such previously issued performance-based restricted stock units. The determination of stock price achievement would be the 20-day average closing prices at the end of the Performance Period. The vesting of the Awards would be 100% at the end of the Performance Period, with double-trigger vesting upon a Change In Control as defined in the Companys Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The Committee retains the discretion to interpret and modify the terms of the Plan and the underlying Awards.
