On March 18, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Quidel Corporation (the “Company”) approved an additional incentive compensation plan applicable to the Company’s executive officers and other members of management for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Incentive Compensation Plan Plus” or “ICP+ Plan”).

Payout under the ICP+ Plan is predicated upon significant achievement of (i) revenue performance targets for a defined key product line and (ii) a related and defined impact goal connected with achievement of such performance targets, each as determined by the Compensation Committee, for the Company’s 2015 fiscal year.  A description of the ICP+ Plan and related target bonuses are set forth on Exhibit 10.1 hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
