~~The~~Item Company has adopted the Canterbury Park Holding Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (the “Annual Bonus Plan”), which is a comprehensive framework pursuant to which opportunities for incentive compensation generally covering periods of one year or less can be awarded the Company’s executive officers, other senior executives and other employees of the Company9.01. Financial ~~Further~~Statements ~~information regarding the Annual Bonus Plan is provided in~~ and ~~the text of the Annual Bonus Plan is an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 5, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference.~~Exhibits

On March 20, 2026, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors adopted, 2026 performance goals under the Annual Bonus Plan and granted cash incentive pay opportunities (referred to as “Incentive Awards”) under the Annual Bonus Plan to the Company’s eligible employees, which include Mr. Sampson and Mr. Dehmer.

Payouts of Incentive Awards will be based on the Company’s 2026 financial performance compared to two performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, which are adjusted income from operations for 2026 and consolidated revenue for 2026, weighted 70% and 30%, respectively. Adjusted income from operations (AIFO) is income from operations, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), adjusted to exclude certain extraordinary, unusual or other amounts as determined by the Compensation Committee. Revenue will be calculated in accordance with GAAP.

On March 20, 2026, the Compensation Committee also recommended, and the Board of Directors also approved, minimum, target and maximum levels of performance for 2026 AIFO and revenue. Under matrices associated with the 2026 Annual Bonus Plan, achievement at less than the target level results in a decreasing bonus and, if achievement fails to meet the minimum performance level, the participants will earn no payout under their Incentive Awards for 2026. The total payout under any Incentive Award will not exceed 150% of target, even if the Company’s 2026 AIFO and revenue exceed the maximum level of performance.

Pursuant to the Annual Bonus Plan, on March 20, 2026, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, 2026 bonus opportunities for Mr. Sampson and Mr. Dehmer, expressed as percentage of 2026 base salary based upon the Company’s achievement at target levels of each performance goal. The payout that the Company’s executive officers may earn at the target level of achievement as a percentage of their respective salaries as follows: Mr. Sampson, 45%, and Mr. Dehmer, 35%.
