    At a meeting held on April 7, 2014, the Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) took the following actions with regard to certain compensatory arrangements for certain of the Company’s senior management personnel, including its Executive Officers.

Fiscal 2014 Incentive Awards

    The Committee determined the amount to be paid in annual incentive awards under the Company’s Annual Management Incentive Plan (the “AMIP”) in accordance with its 2014 Fiscal Year Award Program for Executive Officers (the “2014 Program”). The following table sets forth the cash payments to those Executive Officers identified below with respect to their annual incentive awards under the 2014 Program:

Approval of Fiscal 2014 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Contribution

    The Committee approved contributions for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, to the Constellation Brands, Inc. 2005 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) in the amounts and for the accounts of those Executive Officers identified below:

Criteria for 2015 Fiscal Year Incentive Award

    The Committee adopted the 2015 Fiscal Year Award Program for Executive Officers (the “2015 Program”), thereby establishing the performance criteria and bonus opportunity under the Company’s AMIP for Fiscal 2015. Pursuant to the 2015 Program, potential incentive awards for Fiscal 2015, if any, will equal 0.5% of the Company’s “Earnings Before Interest and Taxes” for each of Richard Sands and Robert Sands and 0.25% of “Earnings Before Interest and Taxes” for each other executive officer, all as calculated under the AMIP and the 2015 Program and measured for the period from March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015. The Committee reserves the right to exercise its negative discretion at the end of Fiscal 2015 to reduce the amounts calculated in the preceding sentence to a bonus payment for each of the Company’s Executive Officers that the Committee believes to be appropriate based on such quantitative and qualitative factors as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to the Company’s performance.
