This excerpt taken from the GOOG DEF 14A filed Mar 24, 2009. Overview Google’s compensation programs reflect our philosophy to pay all of our employees, including our executive officers named in the compensation tables below, in ways that support three primary business objectives:
To achieve these objectives for Google’s named executive officers, we intend the bulk of their compensation to be at risk with significant upside potential for strong performance, as well as downside exposure for underperformance. We measure both individual and company performance for our named executive officers annually, and reward executives accordingly. We believe this is appropriate given their ability to influence Google’s overall performance. Although we intend for performance-based incentives and rewards to be substantial when warranted, these incentives are secondary to career growth, work environment and engaging work opportunities. We seek to develop a highly-motivated and collaborative workforce that pursues achievements for the sake of progress and innovation before individual gain. When Google and individual executives achieve our goals, we ensure that appropriately significant economic rewards follow. Eric, Larry and Sergey have voluntarily elected to receive only nominal cash compensation. Their primary compensation continues to come from returns on their ownership stakes in Google. As significant stockholders, their personal wealth is tied directly to sustained stock price appreciation and performance, which provides direct alignment with stockholder interests. We review our compensation philosophy and practices, including those for our named executive officers, with the LDC Committee on an ongoing basis so that the LDC Committee can recommend changes, if needed, to keep our employees aligned with our business objectives. Each member of our LDC Committee is an “outside” director as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, and a “non-employee” director within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. Our board of directors has determined that each of the directors serving on our LDC Committee is independent as defined in the Marketplace Rules of NASDAQ. The LDC Committee oversees all of our executive compensation programs and operates under a written charter that is available at investor.google.com/committee_leadership.html. The LDC Committee may delegate the authority to make compensation decisions regarding consultants or employees of Google who are not executive officers. For these purposes, the LDC Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees composed of LDC Committee members, executive officers or other employees of Google. These excerpts taken from the GOOG 10-K filed Feb 13, 2009. Overview Google is a global technology leader focused on improving the ways people connect with information. Our innovations in web search and advertising have made our web site a top internet property and our brand one of the most recognized in the world. We maintain a large index of web sites and other online content, which we make freely available via our search engine to anyone with an internet connection. Our automated search technology helps people obtain nearly instant access to relevant information from our vast online index. We generate revenue primarily by delivering relevant, cost-effective online advertising. Businesses use our AdWords program to promote their products and services with targeted advertising. In addition, the thousands of third-party web sites that comprise the Google Network use our AdSense program to deliver relevant ads that generate revenue and enhance the user experience. We were incorporated in California in September 1998 and reincorporated in Delaware in August 2003. Our headquarters are located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, and our telephone number is (650) 253-0000.
