Concentra Incentive Plans
Concentra Incentive Plans Concentra Executive Leadership Team Incentive Plan. Our Executive Leadership Team Management Incentive Plan (the “Management Incentive Plan”) provides certain executives, including our NEOs, the opportunity to earn incentive payments based upon the Company’s achievement of certain EBITDA-based targets for the applicable calendar year. Participants in good standing, including the NEOs, are eligible to receive a cash payment equal to a percentage of their base salary times the applicable EBITDA multiplier associated with the Company’s level of EBITDA achievement for the applicable plan year, with payments ranging from 0% up to 110% of the base salary percentage. The EBITDA multiplier is subject to increase through linear interpolation for incremental EBITDA achievement between the applicable pre-determined milestone levels. Under the Management Incentive Plan, participants may earn additional discretionary amounts in excess of 110% of the applicable percentage of base salary based on such participants’ individual contribution to the Company’s success, generally subject to the participant’s continuous employment by the Company through the date of payment. Under the Management Incentive Plan, we have the discretion to adjust any financial target (whether positively or negatively) based on the effects of unusual events or the effects of any acquisition or other factor that we deem to have inappropriately influenced actual performance. For the 2024 plan year, EBITDA targets under the Management Incentive Plan (as outlined in the plan document) range from a minimum of $378,000,000 to a maximum of $385,000,000, with additional discretionary amounts allowed at higher EBITDA levels. Beginning with fiscal year 2025, targets under the Management Incentive Plan will be based both on Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share. Concentra Executive Leadership Team Long Term Cash Incentive Plan. We sponsor the LTIP for the benefit of certain of our key executives, including the NEOs. The LTIP provides for cash incentive payments at the end of a two-year performance period based upon the per interest equity value of the Company at the end of the performance period. Under the LTIP, participants, including the NEOs, are assigned a target incentive amount which is divided by the per interest equity value of the Company to determine a number of “bonus units” for each such participant. The value of the bonus units at the end of the applicable performance period may increase or decrease from their initial value depending upon the per interest equity value of the Company at the end of the performance period as compared to such value when the number of bonus units were determined. At the end of the two-year performance period, the number of bonus units will be multiplied by the then-current per interest equity value to calculate the payment to be paid to the participant, which will be made in a single lump-sum cash payment no later than March 31 of the year immediately following the performance period to which such incentive amount relates, generally subject to the participant’s continuous employment by the Company through the date of payment. The per interest equity value may be adjusted (upward or downward) to exclude the impact of charges for extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items (including charges for restructurings and discontinued operations), and for the cumulative effects of any accounting changes. The performance cycle for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 was accelerated and paid based on the per interest equity value as of December 31, 2024. Following the fiscal year 2024 payment, no further awards will be granted under the LTIP and the LTIP will be terminated.
Equity Compensation
Equity Compensation 2024 Annual Awards. On November 26, 2024, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee awarded restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to each of the NEOs pursuant to the 2024 Plan, with such shares vesting equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, generally subject to the applicable NEO’s continued employment with the Company through such vesting dates. The number of restricted shares awarded to each NEO is set forth in the table below. The terms of the awards provide for pro-rata vesting of any then-unvested restricted shares of the Company’s common stock in the event that such NEO’s employment is terminated due to death, “disability” (as defined in the 2024 Plan) or upon such NEO’s termination of employment following a “change in control” (as defined in the 2024 Plan).

| Name of Executive | Shares of Restricted Stock Granted | | William K. Newton | 225,000 | | Matthew T. DiCanio | 180,000 | | John A. deLorimier | 60,000 | | John Anderson | 60,000 | | Michael Kosuth | 60,000 | | Su Zan Nelson | 60,000 |
Equity Compensation
In making such restricted stock grants, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee believed that the annual long-term equity award opportunities for the NEOs were in line with the annual long-term equity award opportunities for their counterparts at comparable companies.
Employment Agreements
Employment Agreements We have entered into employment agreements or, in the case of Ms. Nelson, an offer letter, with each of the NEOs (together, the “Employment Arrangements”). Each of the Employment Arrangements provide for the basic terms and conditions of the NEOs’ employment. Under the Employment Arrangements, in the event that Ms. Nelson’s or any of Messrs. DiCanio’s, deLorimier’s or Kosuth’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the Employment Arrangements) or without “due cause” (in the case of Ms. Nelson), in addition to any earned but unpaid base salary through the date of such termination of employment, such NEOs will receive nine months of continued base salary, other than Mr. DiCanio, who will receive eighteen months of continued base salary and Mr. Kosuth, who will receive ten months of continued base salary, in each case, subject to his or her execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with certain post-employment restrictive covenants. In such an event, Mr. DiCanio will also receive a payment in respect of any earned but unpaid bonus relating to any full fiscal year completed prior to his termination of employment. In the event that either of Messrs. DiCanio or Kosuth resigns his employment following the Company’s material reduction of their roles and responsibilities or annual base salaries, or only in the case of Mr. DiCanio, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company or after the Company has required Mr. DiCanio to relocate to a place more than 50 miles from Addison, Texas, such NEO will be entitled to receive their severance described above. Under his Employment Arrangement, in the event that the Company terminates Mr. Newton’s employment without “cause” (as defined in Mr. Newton’s Employment Arrangement) or in the event that Mr. Newton resigns his employment with the Company for “good reason” (as defined in Mr. Newton’s Employment Arrangement and includes a change of control of the Company), in addition to any earned and unpaid base salary through the date of such termination of employment, payment in respect of any earned and unused vacation time, and reimbursement of unreimbursed business expenses through the date of such termination of employment, Mr. Newton will receive (i) any earned but unpaid bonus relating to any full fiscal year completed prior to such termination of employment, (ii) continuation of his base salary for a period of twenty four months, (iii) a pro rata portion of his annual bonus for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs based on actual performance, and paid when such bonuses would otherwise be paid to Company executives; provided that, if such pro rata bonus described in (iii) is less than the greater of (x) Mr. Newton’s target bonus for the fiscal year that includes his termination of employment or (y) the average of the three annual bonuses paid to Mr. Newton immediately prior to such termination of employment (the greater of (x) or (y), the “severance bonus”), then Mr. Newton will be eligible for an additional payment equal to the positive difference between the severance bonus and the bonus amount payable to Mr. Newton in respect of item (iii) above. The severance payable to Mr. Newton described above is conditioned upon Mr. Newton’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company, and his continued compliance with certain post-employment restrictive covenants. Under his Employment Arrangement, in the event that the Company terminates Dr. Anderson’s employment without “cause” (as defined in Dr. Anderson’s Employment Arrangement), in addition to any earned and unpaid base salary through the date of such termination of employment, Dr. Anderson will receive (i) any earned but unpaid bonus relating to any calendar year completed prior to such termination of employment and (ii) continuation of his base salary for up to fifty-two weeks (based on years of service), subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with certain post-employment restrictive covenants. In the event that Dr. Anderson resigns his employment following the Company’s failure to comply with any material provision of his Employment Arrangement, a material reduction of his annual base salary, or after the Company has required Dr. Anderson to relocate to a place more than 40 miles from Bingham Farms, Michigan, he will be entitled to receive the severance described above. Under the Employment Arrangements, each NEO is subject to ongoing confidentiality obligations, as well as a two-year post-employment non-competition and non-solicitation restriction (one year for Dr. Anderson in both cases). Additional information regarding the Employment Arrangement with each of our NEOs, including a quantification of amounts that would have been received by each NEO that is currently employed by the Company had their employment terminated on December 31, 2024, is provided in the section titled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
(1) For purposes of this table, for Mr. Newton, good reason shall be as defined in his Employment Arrangement as described above in Potential Payments upon “Termination or Change in Control: Termination of Employment Not in Connection with a Change in Control — Mr. Newton.” For purposes of this table, for Messrs. DiCanio, Anderson and Kosuth, the term good reason shall mean their respective resignation rights described above in “Termination or Change in Control: Termination of Employment Not in Connection with a Change in Control — Mr. DiCanio,” “Termination or Change in Control: Termination of Employment Not in Connection with a Change in Control — Dr. Anderson” and “Termination or Change in Control: Termination of Employment Not in Connection with a Change in Control — Mr. Kosuth,” respectively. (2) Amounts in this column reflect earned and unpaid bonuses relating to 2024 due to the assumption that the terminations of employment in this table will occur on December 31, 2024. (3) The amount in this column reflects the actual bonus earned by Mr. Newton under the Concentra Executive Leadership Team Incentive Plan for 2024 plus $1,063,850, which equals the difference in the average of Mr. Newton’s prior three annual bonuses and his pro-rata target bonus. The amounts in these columns represent the value of 225,000, 180,000, 60,000, 60,000, 60,000 and 60,000 shares of restricted stock vesting on December 31, 2024, for Messrs. Newton, DiCanio, deLorimier, Anderson, Kosuth and Ms. Nelson, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2024 ($19.78 per share). The number of shares of restricted stock vesting on such date is determined, with respect to each applicable outstanding award, by multiplying the number of shares of restricted stock granted to the applicable NEO under such award by the ratio of (x) the number of days that elapsed from the grant date through December 31, 2024 and (y) the total number of days in the vesting period. Change in Control Because we do not provide tax gross-ups or enhanced severance benefits in the event of a change in control, the amounts set forth above reflect the amounts that would be payable to each of the NEOs upon the occurrence of such terminations of employment in connection with a change in control, assuming that the relevant events occurred on December 31, 2024.
Pay Ratio
Pay Ratio The Company analyzed the total annual compensation for all of its employees and the employees of its consolidated subsidiaries, other than our Chief Executive Officer, in order to identify the employee with the median total annual compensation. In making this determination, the Company examined only payroll records of individuals who were employed by the Company or one of its consolidated subsidiaries on December 31, 2024. The Company annualized the compensation of individuals who commenced employment after January 1, 2024, but did not apply any other adjustments to the data. After the median compensated employee was identified, that employee’s total annual compensation for fiscal year 2024 was determined in the same manner as if such individual was a named executive officer for 2024 whose compensation was required to be determined in accordance with SEC rules and reported in our “Summary Compensation Table” on page 18. Based on the foregoing, the total annual compensation of such employee, as determined in accordance with SEC rules, was $53,213. As provided in our Summary Compensation Table, the total annual compensation for our Chief Executive Officer for the 2024 fiscal year was $7,075,161, which was 133 times the total annual compensation of our median compensated employee for the 2024 fiscal year. The above figures were reported in accordance with SEC rules. However, the Company believes that a more accurate disclosure would exclude “on-call” employees who have no set work schedule and work only on an as-needed basis, which may be a few times a year. If these “on-call” employees were excluded from the determination of our median compensated employee for the 2024 fiscal year, the total annual compensation of our median compensated employee would be $58,868, resulting in a ratio of the total annual compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to such employee of 120:1. Because a significant amount of our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for 2024 was in the form of equity compensation, and only a very small number of our employees receive equity compensation, we thought it would be helpful to our stockholders to see how the above ratios are impacted by excluding equity compensation. Excluding equity compensation, the total annual compensation of our median compensated employee remains unchanged and the total annual compensation for our Chief Executive Officer would be $1,879,911, resulting in a ratio of 35:1 if “on-call” employees are included and a ratio of 32:1 if “on-call” employees are not included.
Pay Versus Performance
Pay Versus Performance The Company’s compensation objectives and philosophy, which are discussed further above, are designed to reward the contributions of its NEOs to the Company’s financial performance and provide compensation which is sufficient to attract and retain individuals who are motivated to contribute to the Company’s financial performance. To achieve these goals, the Company has implemented incentive plans which tie a substantial portion of each NEO’s compensation to pre-determined financial goals. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the most important financial performance measure used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s financial performance were as follows: i. Adjusted EBITDA The following table summarizes the executive compensation earned by the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and other NEOs, the executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s PEO and other NEOs, and certain financial performance measures of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2024, the year in which the Company had its initial public offering.
