This excerpt taken from the GIS DEF 14A filed Aug 14, 2007. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each director nominee. 14 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS We structure director compensation to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors and to further align the interests of directors with the interests of stockholders by linking a portion of their compensation to stock performance. A substantial portion of director compensation is linked to our stock performance, and directors can elect to receive their entire Board remuneration in stock and stock-related compensation. Directors are expected to keep all of the shares, net of shares used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes, that they receive as compensation until they own shares equal in market value to at least five times their annual retainer.
