What is the total value of the new compensation for Mr. Martinetto?

The immediate impact on his compensation includes an increased target bonus percentage and a special one-time equity award valued at $750,000 ($375,000 in RSUs and $375,000 in stock options). His base salary remains $700,000.

How are the stock options structured?

The stock options have a grant date value of $375,000. They will vest in equal installments of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and have a ten-year term. The exercise price is set at the closing price of CSC's common stock on the grant date.

What are the performance conditions for the restricted stock units?

The performance-based RSUs, valued at $375,000, will vest 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date. Vesting is contingent on achieving a performance criterion related to return on common equity divided by the cost of equity over a three-year period (January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020). The number of shares received could be up to 200% of the target award.
