Jordan's annual salary increased 3 percent, but his annual bonus decreased 60.4 percent to $307,141. The company had raised the financial performance goals for executives to earn bonuses at the start of the fiscal year, including 15.4 and 13.7 percent increases to revenue and net income targets, respectively.
