Equity Compensation

Non-employee directors receive the following under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan:

 

   

Each new non-employee director automatically receives stock units with an initial value of $100,000 based on the then-current fair market value of the Company’s common stock;

 

   

Each continuing non-employee director automatically receives, on an annual basis, stock units with an initial value of $100,000 at the then-current fair market value of the Company’s common stock; provided that the value of the first annual stock unit grant for newly-appointed non-employee directors (i.e., non-employee directors who were appointed after the Company’s last annual shareholders meeting) is prorated based on the number of days that the director has served between his or her appointment and the date of the first annual stock unit grant; and

 

   

For 2009, the Board voluntarily decided to reduce the initial value of the annual stock unit grants, as well as the initial value of any stock unit grants for new directors, by 15%, to $85,000.

The annual stock units granted to continuing non-employee directors following the Company’s annual shareholders meeting, as well as the initial grant made to any non-employee director who is first elected to the Board at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting, are granted on June 30 of each year; provided, however, that if the Company’s annual shareholders meeting takes place after June 30, then the related stock unit grants will be granted on the first business day following that meeting. All initial stock units to new non-employee directors who are appointed other than at the annual shareholders meeting are granted on the date of appointment. The number of stock units are rounded down to the nearest whole share. These stock units are fully-vested but are subject to a three-year deferral period. During the deferral period, the stock units earn dividend equivalents which are reinvested in additional units annually. Following the deferral period, shares in an amount equal in value to the stock units, including units acquired through dividend equivalent reinvestment, will be issued to each non-employee director unless a further deferral election has been made; provided, however, that shares and accumulated dividend equivalents will be issued immediately upon the resignation or retirement of a non-employee director.
