Establishment of Performance Goals under the 2023 Bonus Program

 

On May 3, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MercadoLibre, Inc. (the “Company”) established the performance goals for the Company’s bonus program for the 2023 fiscal year (the “2023 Bonus Program”). Under the 2023 Bonus Program, the bonus payout for each person who was a “named executive officer” in the Company’s proxy statement for its most recent Annual Meeting (referred to below as “NEOs”) is based on achievement of Net Revenue (in constant dollars), Income from operations (in constant dollars), Total payment volume - adjusted (the total sum of all transactions paid for using Mercado Pago, including only On Platform, Online Payments Aggregator, Wallet, Point, Credit Card and Prepaid transactions) (in constant dollars) and the Company’s Competitive Net Promoter Score. The Board has determined a target bonus for each NEO and applies an adjustment of up to + 50% or -50% to each bonus based upon the individual performance of each NEO.

    

The Board set each NEO’s target bonus under the 2023 Bonus Program as four months of base salary (33.33% of each NEO’s annual base salary).

 

Adoption of the 2023 Long Term Retention Program

 

On May 3, 2023, the Board approved the adoption of the 2023 Long Term Retention Program (the “2023 LTRP”) and, after taking into account a compensation competitiveness analysis carried out by the Company’s independent third-party compensation consultant, established the target award for each NEO under the 2023 LTRP. The 2023 LTRP provides the NEOs, along with other members of senior management, with the opportunity to receive cash payments annually for a period of six years (with the first payment occurring between January 1, 2024 and April 30, 2024, as determined by the Company), subject to continued employment on each payment date (other than in specified circumstances). Under the 2023 LTRP, each NEO shall receive:

 

    16.66% of half of his or her target 2023 LTRP award annually for a period of six years (with the first payment occurring between January 1, 2024 and April 30, 2024) (the “Annual Fixed Payment”); and

 

    on each date the Company pays the Annual Fixed Payment, each NEO will also receive a payment equal to the product of (i) 16.66% of half of the NEO’s target 2023 LTRP award and (ii) the quotient of (a) the Applicable Year Stock Price (as defined below) over (b) the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ during the final 60 trading days of 2022. For purposes of the 2023 LTRP, the “Applicable Year Stock Price” is the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ during the final 60 trading days of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the applicable payment date occurs, for so long as our common stock is listed on NASDAQ.

 

The target 2023 LTRP awards for our NEOs are set forth below.

 

Name   Title   Target 2023 LTRP Award (nominal)
Marcos Galperin   President & Chief Executive Officer   $10,000,000
Osvaldo Giménez   Fintech President   $3,500,000
Daniel Rabinovich   Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer   $3,500,000
Pedro Arnt   Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer   $2,200,000
Juan Martín de la Serna   Executive Vice President – Corporate Affairs   $2,700,000
