This excerpt taken from the DVN DEF 14A filed Apr 24, 2009. Compensation
Weighted Toward Performance-Based Compensation
We believe that the proportion of an employees total
direct compensation that varies based on performance should
increase as the scope of an employees ability to influence
our results increases. Since senior executive officers have the
greatest influence over our results, a significant portion of
their overall compensation consists of cash bonuses and
long-term incentive awards that are at risk. In
2008, for example, approximately 90% of the estimated value of
the total direct compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was
at risk. The estimated value of the total direct compensation at
risk in 2008 for all other named executive officers ranged from
approximately 80% to 85% of their total direct compensation.
