(e) On June 2, 2011, the board of directors of Serena Software, Inc. approved the FY 2012 Executive Annual Incentive Plan for our executive officers. The annual target bonuses under this plan are equal to 100% of the participant’s annual base salary for our President and Chief Executive Officer, 75% of the participant’s annual base salary for our Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and 50% of the participant’s annual base salary for our Senior Vice President, Worldwide Marketing, Senior Vice President, SBM Solutions and Senior Vice President, General Counsel. The actual bonus amounts are subject to achievement of the following performance metrics: (a) with regard to our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, achievement of annual net license revenue and EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization) targets under our FY 2012 operating plan, weighted equally; and (b) with regard to our Senior Vice President, Worldwide Marketing, Senior Vice President, SBM Solutions, and Senior Vice President, General Counsel, achievement of annual net license revenue and EBITA targets under our FY 2012 operating plan and achievement of management objectives, including functional area performance metrics, weighted at 30%, 50% and 20%, respectively. For bonus amounts based on the achievement of net license revenue, achievement of less than 85% of the metric will result in no payout of the applicable target bonus amount, achievement of 100% of the metric will result in a 100% payout of the applicable target bonus amount and achievement of 115% of the applicable metric will result in a 200% payout of the applicable target bonus amount. For bonus amounts based on the achievement of EBITA, achievement of less than 90% of the metric will result in no payout of the applicable target bonus amount, achievement of 100% of the metric will result in a 100% payout of the applicable target bonus amount and achievement of 107.5% of the applicable metric will result in a 200% payout of the applicable target bonus amount. Payouts based on the achievement of net license revenue and EBITA are capped at 200% of the applicable target bonus amount, and payouts based on the achievement of management objectives are capped at 125% of the applicable target bonus amount. The cash incentive bonuses will be calculated and paid on an annual basis for our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and on a semi-annual basis for our Senior Vice President, Worldwide Marketing, Senior Vice President, SBM Solutions, and Senior Vice President, General Counsel.
