Fiscal 2023 Annual Executive Cash Bonus Program. On June 2, 2022, Graham Corporation’s (the “Company”) Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors renewed and amended the Company’s Annual Executive Cash Bonus Program (the “Cash Bonus Program”) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”). The objective of the Cash Bonus Program is to motivate the Company’s named executive officers to attain short-term objectives through an annual cash bonus related both to Company and personal performance.

Thoren — 100% of base salary, Christopher J. Thome — 50% of base salary, and Alan E. Smith — 50% of base salary. Each named executive officer will be eligible to receive anywhere from 0% to 200% of his target bonus level depending on the attainment of such objectives. A summary of the performance goal weightings for the Company’s named executive officers for Fiscal 2023 is as follows:
