Enterprise Florida, Inc. Finance and Compensation Committee Charter

I. PURPOSE

The Finance and Compensation Committee shall assist the Board of Directors of Enterprise Florida, Inc. in overseeing the Organization’s financial budget and reporting, including approval of the operating budget. In addition, the committee shall oversee the management compensation policies and practices, including making recommendations to the independent directors with respect to the compensation of the Organization’s Chief Executive Officer, reviewing and approving management incentive compensation policies and program, and reviewing and approving bonus compensation programs for employees and exercising discretion in the administration of such programs.

II. MEMBERSHIP The Committee shall consist of three or more members of the Board, each of whom the Board has selected and determined to be “independent” in accordance with the Board Guidelines. The Chairman and members of the Committee shall be designated by the Vice Chair for Board approval.

III. MEETINGS AND QUORUM The Committee will meet on a regularly scheduled basis, whenever requested by a Committee member and additionally as circumstances dictate. The Committee will meet annually with the Chief Executive Officer and any other officers the Board and Committee deem appropriate to discuss and review the performance criteria and compensation levels of key executives. Notice of meetings shall be given to all Committee members, or may be waived, (in the same manner as required for meetings of the Board). Meetings of the Committee may be held by means of conference telephone or other communications, by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear and speak to each other. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The act of a majority of the Committee members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Committee.

IV. AUTHORITY

In discharging its role, the Committee is empowered to inquire into any matter it considers appropriate to carry out its responsibilities, with access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Organization. The Committee shall have the power to retain outside counsel, compensation consultants or other advisors to assist in carrying out its activities. The Organization shall provide adequate resources to support the Committee’s activities, including compensation of the outside counsel, consultants and other advisors retained by the Committee. The Committee shall have the sole authority to retain, compensate, direct, oversee and terminate counsel, compensation consultants, and other advisors hired to assist the Committee, who shall be accountable ultimately to the Committee.

V. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Subject to applicable corporate governance laws, the Committee shall undertake the following responsibilities, which are set forth as a guide. The Committee is authorized to carry out these activities and other actions reasonably related to the Committee’s purposes or assigned by the Board from time to time. The Committee shall base its decisions on objective, documented and comparable data where such data is available. To fulfill its purposes, the Committee shall:

1. Review, edit and approve the recommended operational budget for Enterprise Florida; 2. Ensure the organization is utilizing assets in adherence to the company mission and approved

budget; 3. When requested, review any contracts in excess of $100,000 that were not a part of the

original budget process and recommend approval or disapproval by the Board;

4. Establish and review the Organization’s overall management compensation philosophy and policy;

5. Review and approve the Organization’s goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Organization’s key executives, including annual performance goals and objectives;

6. Oversee compliance with the compensation policies and procedures and the terms of employment contracts;

7. Review and authorize any severance agreement with key executives; 8. Evaluate at least annually the performance of key executives against the Organization’s goals

and objectives, including the annual performance objectives and, based on this evaluation, determine and approve (or recommend to the Board for approval in the case of the CEO) for the key executives;

9. Review on a periodic basis the Organization’s incentive compensation plans as well as plans and policies pertaining to perquisites, to determine whether they are appropriate, properly coordinated and achieve their intended purpose(s), and recommend to the Board any appropriate modifications or new plans or programs;

10. Review and recommend to the Board any changes in employee retirement plans or programs, and any other employee benefit plans and programs; and

11. Maintain minutes of meetings and regularly report to the Board on Committee findings, recommendations and actions and any other matters the Committee deems appropriate or the Board requests.

VI. REASONABLE COMPENSATION The Committee should ensure that no more than reasonable compensation is paid to the Organization’s employees. “Reasonable compensation” is the value that would ordinarily be paid for like services by similar organizations under similar circumstances. Compensation will be presumed reasonable under the relevant tax rules if the following three conditions are met:

1. The compensation arrangement is approved by disinterested members of the Board or the Committee.

2. The Board or Committee obtained and relied upon appropriate data as to comparability of compensation such as the compensation paid by similarly situated organizations, both taxable and exempt, for functionally comparable positions. This may include reviewing compensation surveys, actual written offers from similar organizations competing for the executive’s services, or other objective external data to establish comparable values for executive compensation.

3. The Board or Committee adequately documents the basis for its determination that the compensation is reasonable concurrently with making that determination.

In some cases, the Board or Committee may find it impossible or impracticable to fully implement each step of the rebuttable presumption process described above. In such cases, the Board or Committee should try to implement as many steps as possible, in whole or in part, in order to substantiate the reasonableness of compensation as timely and as well as possible.

anticipated to be $1M for Enterprise Florida and $500,000 for Team Florida. Event revenue is an estimate of funds collected from companies participating in international events and trade missions. The payroll expense includes salaries for open positions and accrual for bonuses. Marketing expenses are split in two – Team Florida program costs are $2.9 with $723,000 for general marketing. Capital outlay includes software enhancements, renewal of licenses and improvements to Salesforce. EFI Controller Robert Schlotman added that they took a different approach to the budget this year. Each SVP along with Scott Fennell and Mike Grissom participated in the planning for what they wanted to accomplish for the upcoming fiscal year. The budget numbers were identified from that including the larger events and what was expected in revenue from those events, professional fees anticipated and international office contracts. It was a ground up exercise instead of taking what the state appropriated and determining how to spend it. Gene Schaefer asked about the private investment contributions - $1.5M budgeted this year with $2.4M budgeted for 16/17 and an actual of $1.5M. Robert explained that he wasn’t part of the budget process for the previous year. For this year he looked at the roster of board members and their contributions and only included those he was confident they could collect. Gene then asked about the budgeted payroll expenses which were higher than the actual for 16/17. Robert reported that there were several severance payouts last year that increased the amount. The David Wilkins recommendations reduced personnel and payroll overall, but they didn’t expect to realize all of it the first year because of the severances and payouts. He allocated for four open positions in Business Development and Administration. Scott reminded the committee that there were many open positions last year that are now filled or being filled. Some high level positions with larger salaries went unpaid last year. In response to a question from Danny Gaekwad, Robert explained that currently there are four positions that haven’t been filled – General Counsel, an administration position and two Business Developments manager positions. These four positions have been included in the budget. Gene also remarked that payroll as a percentage of total revenues had a significant change. How is the expense structure/payroll being adjusted to reflect the reduction in revenue? Robert responded that a lot of the reduction was on the operational side and not the payroll side. There were no new positions eliminated in the budget. Scott added that with the reduction in the state appropriation ($1M versus $8.5M) for marketing, they came up with $1.9M in efficiencies to beef up marketing. Bonus payments are made from private funds and are part of the payroll expense. Chair Borgmann asked about headcount as compared to a year ago. Robert will get back to the committee with those numbers. There has been attrition due to the David Wilkins report as well as the state appropriation discussions. Scott added that the current headcount is 71 including the open positions. That is down from last year. Vice Chair Connally stated that the year to year comparisons show a leaner budget. He is unhappy with the cutback on marketing. The message from Joe Hice is that they have good creative material done under the prior budget. They won’t be creating new marketing material and ads this fiscal year, but will be as strategic and cost effective as they can with what they have. Mike Grissom added that there may be some carry forward in marketing that can be used. Vice Chair Connally commended the team on continuing operations with reduced resources. It won’t be easy particularly in Business Development and International Trade. Mike remarked that with the tremendous addition of Scott and Robert, he is comfortable with their oversight of the budget. Danny Gaekwad asked about the international expenses. Robert explained that the international professional fees are for payments to the foreign offices that assist EFI (line item in the state appropriation) and the program costs are for events the team puts on. Contracts for foreign offices that were not performing were reduced or eliminated, and the funds were reinvested in other foreign office contracts that were performing well.
