(1) The 2020 CIP was adopted by the Compensation Committee, effective February 26, 2020. As previously discussed, the Registrant failed to achieve
the minimum performance threshold for Operating Income, and accordingly, no payouts were made under the 2020 CIP. As described in the 2020
Corporate Incentive Plan portion of the Compensation Elements section above, if a minimum performance threshold for Operating Income had
been achieved in 2020, 25% of Operating Income would have been funded into the 2020 CIP. The 2020 CIP did not have a performance “target” or
a determinable amount payable if the target is met. Amounts in columns (c), (d) and (e) are representative payout amounts based the achievement
of the following varying levels of Operating Income: $250,000 (the minimum funding threshold under the 2020 CIP); $5.6 million (the amount of
Operating Income required for the 2020 CIP payout to equal 100% of the each employee’s target bonus factor, and $12 million (the amount of
Operating Income at which point contributions to the 2020 CIP were “capped”).
(2) Amounts shown represent the targeted number of RSUs established on February 26, 2020 under the 2020 Executive Performance RSU Award
Agreements between the Company and Mr. Arnone. As discussed in the Material Compensation Actions section of the Compensation Elements
section above, on February 25, 2021 the Board determined that, because the Company had failed to achieve the threshold Operating Income of
$1 million in fiscal 2020, no RSUs would be awarded. For illustrative purposes, the table reflects the number of RSUs that would have been awarded
had the Company achieved $1 million, $2 million and $3 million in Operating Income. If granted, all such RSUs would have vested one-third thirteen
months after the grant determination date, one-third after the second anniversary of the grant determination date and the remaining one-third after
the third anniversary date.
(3) Mr. Cummings’ short-term plan compensation during 2020 was contingent upon sales of Fuel Tech’s products and services pursuant to the 2020
APC Officer and General Sales Manager Commission Plan and the 2020 Officer FUEL CHEM Commission Plan. Mr. Cummings earned $______
in sales commission under such plans for fiscal 2020.
