strategic objectives which seek to achieve certain operational goals. The amounts earned pursuant to the performance-based incentive compensation plan are calculated and paid to our named executive officers in the fiscal year following when they are earned. For fiscal 2024, we weighted the metrics as follows: 37.5% for net sales. 37.5% for Adjusted EBITDAS and 25% for the strategic goals.

The table below sets forth for each named executive officer the annual fiscal 2024 base salary, the target bonus percentage, the annualized target cash bonus opportunity, and the actual bonus paid for fiscal 2024:
Annual Cash Incentive Bonuses

The threshold metrics were at least $9.0 million, or 64.7% of Target, for the Adjusted EBITDAS metric for our company and Net Sales of $180.0 million, or 90.0% of Target.

If the Adjusted EBITDAS threshold metric and Net Sales metric are achieved, the target payout for completing these strategic objectives would be paid out in cash up to 25.0% of the executive officer's annual base salary. In the event that the threshold metric for the Adjusted EBITDAS metric and Net Sales metric of $180.0 million, or 90.0% of Target are not met, any bonus earned based on the achievement of the strategic goals is paid out in RSUs that have a one-year vesting schedule from the grant date, with no cash bonus payments made under these circumstances. In fiscal 2024, consolidated Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDAS, for purposes of compensation, were $201.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
These PSUs are earned and vest based on the relative performance of our common stock against the Russell 2000, or RUT, over the approximately three-year period following the date of grant. If the relative performance of our common stock (measured based on the average closing price of our common stock during the 90-calendar-day-period preceding approximately the third anniversary of the date of grant against the average closing price of our common stock during the 90-calendar-day-period immediately following the date of grant) is less than -15% of the relative performance of the RUT (measured based on the average closing price of the RUT during the 90-calendar-day-period preceding approximately the third anniversary of the date of grant against the average closing price of the RUT during the 90-calendar-day-period immediately following the date of grant), then no PSUs subject to the awards will be earned and vest. If the relative performance of our common stock equals -15% of the relative performance of the RUT, then 25% of the PSUs subject to the awards (at target) will be earned and vest, which is referred to as the threshold award. If the relative performance of our common stock is equal to the relative performance of the RUT, then the PSUs subject to the awards will be earned and vest on a straight-line basis from the threshold award level up to the match award level, with 75% of the PSUs subject to the awards (the target number of PSUs) being earned and vesting if the relative performance of our common stock is equal to the relative performance of the RUT. If the relative performance of our common stock exceeds the relative performance of the RUT by up to five points, then the PSUs subject to the awards will be earned and vest on a straight-line basis from the match award level up to the target award level, with 100% of the PSUs subject to the awards (the target number of PSUs) being earned and vesting if the relative performance of our common stock exceeds the relative performance of the RUT by five points. If the relative performance of our common stock exceeds the relative performance of the RUT by over five points up to a level of 20 points, then the PSUs subject to the awards will be earned and vest on a straight-line basis up to the maximum award, with 200% of the PSUs subject to the awards (the maximum number of PSUs) being earned and vesting if the relative performance of our common stock exceeds the relative performance of the RUT by 20 points or more. The underlying shares of our common stock earned, if any, related to these PSUs will be delivered on the ending date of the performance period (approximately three years from grant). RSUs During fiscal 2024, we granted the following RSUs to our named executive officers as part of our long-term incentive compensation program:

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee has sole discretion to retain a compensation consultant and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee retains a compensation consultant to assist in setting the design and goals of the executive compensation program, to review trends in executive compensation, to identify relevant peer companies, and to conduct an assessment and analysis of executive market compensation. The compensation consultant reports directly to the Compensation Committee. Compensia, Inc. served as the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant for fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2024, the compensation consultant identified for the Compensation Committee peer group companies, provided a compensation assessment and analysis of those companies, determined the positioning of each executive officer’s compensation by element among the peer companies and the survey data, developed recommendations and guidelines for the structure of our executive compensation program, reviewed the overall compensation package, and advised the Compensation Committee regarding the appropriateness of our executive compensation program. In addressing Compensia’s independence in light of applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq standards, the Compensation Committee considered relevant factors and concluded that Compensia is independent and the engagement would not raise any conflicts of interest under the applicable rules and standards.
