This excerpt taken from the GPS DEF 14A filed Mar 28, 2005. Awards and Performance Goals
Under the Executive MICAP, the Committee will establish a target award for each participant, the performance goals that must be achieved in order for the participant to actually be paid an award and the formula for calculating the participants award depending upon how actual performance compares to the pre-established performance goals.
The period for measuring actual performance is determined by the Committee and may be a complete fiscal year or any portion thereof (a Performance Period). Each participants target award will be expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary for the applicable Performance Period. The maximum percentage of base salary that may be assigned to a participant as a target award in a fiscal year is 200%. The Committee may set performance goals that differ from participant to participant. For example, the Committee may choose performance goals based on a Company-wide or divisional basis and/or a comparison of actual performance by the Company or a division to actual performance by a group of competitors determined in the discretion of the Committee. A participants award will increase or decrease as actual performance of the Company and/or a division increases or decreases. A participant may be eligible to receive multiple awards under the Executive MICAP in a given Performance Period; however, the aggregate dollar value of the awards payable to a participant in any fiscal year cannot exceed $10,000,000.
The Executive MICAP sets forth a number of performance measures that may be used by the Committee in setting the performance goals for any Performance Period. Specifically, the performance goals applicable to any participant will provide for a targeted level of achievement using one or more of the financial and operational measures set forth in the Executive MICAP, including:
