This excerpt taken from the GPS DEF 14A filed Mar 28, 2006. Background and Purpose The Plan permits grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, performance units, performance shares, and stock units (collectively, “Awards”) to eligible participants. The Plan is intended to provide incentives to further the growth and profitability of the Company and to encourage stock ownership on the part of (1) employees of the Company and its affiliates, (2) consultants and others who provide significant services to the Company and its affiliates (“consultants”), and (3) directors of the Company who are employees of neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (“non-employee directors”). The Plan also is intended to permit the payment of compensation that qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). |
