My company is using it.

Eg, top 5% get A, next 10% get B, last 5% get D, the rest all get C.

D = 0 bonus
C = 3.x bonus
B = 4.x bonus
A = 5.x bonus

of course if you get A, your up coming annual increment will be the highest at 5+%
B = 4+%
C = 3+%
D = 0%

same for promotion, A grader will get a higher promotional increment % than B, B>C ...etc


For a fairer system, bonus should be pay out equally throughout the board....ie everyone get 3 months of bonus regardless of gradings, those with better grading to be promoted faster or give them more annual increment.
I think if D is getting 2.xbonus and 2% instead of 0, will be a better option. there's still enough incentive to perform better next year, but won't feel so hurt and humiliated. Also, it may help to not just look at one years performance. if D in two consecutive years, then maybe 0 increment. but for a first time D, shall still give chance lah.
