Align Executive Compensation with Shareholders’ Interests Focusing incentive programs on the critical performance measures that determine PolyOne’s overall success and reward executives for the attainment of short-term results, balanced with the need for sustainable long-term success. The Compensation Committee’s evaluation demonstrated that the performance measures utilized for this program are the most critical elements of PolyOne’s performance for both 2014 and 2015 and, when combined, contribute to sustainable growth. The SARs were also subject to performance-based vesting and vested upon the attainment of stock price hurdles (based on PolyOne’s closing stock price and sustained for thirty consecutive trading days) for our common shares as follows: one-third at $16.07; one-third at $16.80; and one- third at $17.53.
