Compensation Objectives

 

The compensation paid or awarded to our named executive officers for 2008 was designed to meet the following objectives:

 

   

Provide compensation that is competitive with compensation for executive officers providing comparable services, taking into account the size of the Corporation, the nature of its business, and the location of its headquarters. We refer to this objective as “competitive compensation.”

 

   

Create a compensation structure under which a meaningful portion of total compensation is based on achievement of performance goals relating to the Corporation’s and the individuals’ performance and to enhancement of shareholder value. We refer to this objective as “performance incentives.”

 

   

Provide an incentive for long-term continued employment with us. We refer to this objective as “retention incentives.”

 

We considered various components of our 2008 compensation payments and awards (added to payments and awards granted in prior years) to meet these objectives as follows:
