Adoption of Variable Compensation Plan
On June 23, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Paymentus Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), approved and adopted a variable compensation plan for the Company’s executive officers (the “VC Plan”). The VC Plan was developed based on a review of the executive bonus plans at peer companies and is designed to promote the recognition and retention of the Company’s executive officers. The VC Plan is comprised of the following corporate and individual components (along with their relative weights): (i) Contribution Profit (50%), (ii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin (30%), and (iii) individual performance (20%). The cash payout opportunity is contingent upon meeting the threshold achievement level, and thereafter increases for performance above the threshold level, as set forth below:

The award payouts under the VC Plan will be distributed following approval by the Audit Committee of the Board of the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
Approval of RSU Grants
Also on June 23, 2022, the Board, based upon the recommendation of the Committee, approved a broad-based grant of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to certain key employees of the Company, including Messrs. Portocalis and Parson (the “RSU Grants”). Mr. Sharma did not receive an RSU grant. The RSU Grants are designed to improve retention, incentivize future performance and increase the equity holdings of certain of the Company’s key employees, many of whom have little or no unvested equity in the Company. In approving the RSU Grants, the Board considered benchmark data for peer companies and other information from Compensia, the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, including a recent Equity Utilization Analysis and Executive Compensation Review.
Messrs. Portocalis and Parson will each receive 95,238 RSUs. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting. The RSUs were granted on June 23, 2022. One fourth of each RSU Award will vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, and one sixteenth of the RSUs will vest on a quarterly basis thereafter on each quarterly vesting date beginning on November 15, 2023, subject to each recipient’s continued service to the Company through the vesting date. Quarterly vesting dates with respect to any calendar year are February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15. The RSU Awards were granted pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Plan and the form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “RSU Agreement”), which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. This summary description does not purport to be complete and is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of the RSU Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
