2014 Incentive Compensation Award Opportunities for Named Executive Officers On February 19, 2014, the Compensation and Pension Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of Lexmark International, Inc. (the "Company") granted annual incentive compensation award opportunities with respect to the 2014 calendar year (the "IC Performance Period") to each of the Company's Named Executive Officers (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 402(a)(3)), pursuant to the Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Senior Executive IC Plan"). The maximum award which may be earned under the Senior Executive IC Plan by any Named Executive Officer is equal to six-tenths of one percent (0.6%) of Operating Income (as defined in the Senior Executive IC Plan) for the IC Performance Period. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce, but not increase, the award made to a Named Executive Officer based on any factors that the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee under the Company's 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan ("2014 IC Plan").

Under the 2014 IC Plan, the corporate performance measures include strategic revenue, operating income, cash cycle days and individual performance. Business or geographic unit performance measures under the 2014 IC Plan include business unit or geographic unit strategic revenue (including license and subscription revenue for Perceptive Software), operating income, and cash cycle days (days sales outstanding for Perceptive Software). In the event minimum performance objectives are not met for any of the corporate performance measures and any of the business unit/geographic performance measures, if applicable, the Compensation Committee has established free cash flow as an alternative performance measure. Each of the performance measures include restructuring charges, and generally exclude acquisition related adjustments and inkjet revenue. The threshold, target and maximum award opportunities established under the 2014 IC Plan for each of the Named Executive Officers, subject in each case to the maximum award amount under the Senior Executive IC Plan, are set forth in the following table.
