Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to officially submit a press release announcing DexCom's financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and to inform investors about the company's 2016 Bonus Plan.

The 2016 Bonus Plan links cash bonuses for management and select employees to the achievement of specific targets. These include annual revenue goals (60% weighting), targeted operating income (20% weighting), and corporate performance milestones (20% weighting).

The target bonus for the CEO is 125% of their base salary. For other Named Executive Officers and executives, target bonuses range from 40% to 75% of their base salaries, depending on their role. Importantly, bonus payouts can be significantly increased, potentially up to 175% of target for revenue and operating income components, and an additional 25% for other performance milestones, if the company exceeds its goals.

The 8-K filing itself does not contain the detailed financial results. Instead, it 'furnishes' a press release (Exhibit 99.01) that announces these results. Investors would need to refer to that accompanying press release for the specific figures and performance metrics for the year ended December 31, 2015.
