Elements of the Compensation Program

The Company’s executive compensation program is simple in design. The compensation program for the named executive officers, other than Mr. Jobs, consists of three elements, listed in order of their importance:

 

   

Long-term equity awards in the form of RSUs under the shareholder-approved 2003 Employee Stock Plan (the “2003 Plan”);

 

   

Annual performance-based cash bonus awards under the 2003 Plan; and

 

   

Base salaries.

The named executive officers are also eligible to participate in the Company’s health and welfare programs, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 401(k) Plan, and other employee recognition programs on the same basis as other employees.

As noted above, in light of Mr. Jobs’s significant equity holdings in the Company, his compensation consists of a salary of $1 per year, and the Compensation Committee from time to time considers additional compensation arrangements for him.
