Individual Performance Assessment

An executive officer’s individual performance assessment can range from 0% to 180%. The Committee first assigns to the executive officer an individual performance rating based on its consideration of the factors discussed above under “Assessing Individual Performance and Potential” and then determines the executive officer’s individual performance assessment from the range of percentages associated with that rating. Below is a summary of the five performance rating categories and the range of individual performance payouts associated with each category:

 

Individual Performance Rating

   Incentive Pay Out Range
as a Percent of Target
    

Spectacular

   140% -180%   

Exceeds

   110% -130%   

Good

   90% - 110%   

More is Expected

   40% - 60%   

Unacceptable

   0%   

The factors taken into account in determining the individual performance assessments for our named executive officers in 2008 are discussed under “Compensation Paid to Named Executive Officers in 2008.”

Individual Performance Assessment

Individual awards are also determined based on individual contributions. Individual performance can range from 0% to 200% of the target award.

Following our fiscal year-end, the Committee assessed progress against all strategic objectives and other individual performance criteria established for each of the named executive officers. The Committee then reviewed each named executive officer’s progress against the criteria and determined the level and quality of each named executive officer’s performance achievement. Based on that assessment, the Committee determined an appropriate incentive award for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and then reviewed and approved the incentive awards that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer recommended for each of the other named executive officers. Named executive officers that generally met all of the individual performance criteria received an annual incentive award at or near (+/- 10%) their individual target level, adjusted for the applicable business unit rating. Similarly, named executive officers that exceeded their individual performance criteria received an annual incentive award greater than their individual target. Conversely, if a named executive officer did not meet many of his or her individual performance criteria, then the named executive officer’s annual incentive would be below his or her individual target and would likely be zero.

Additional information regarding the manner in which individual performance was assessed for our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers in 2007 is provided under “Compensation Paid to Named Executive Officers in 2007.”

Annual incentive awards paid under this plan satisfied the performance-based requirements for deductible compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Details with respect to tax deductibility of compensation are presented under “Policy With Respect To Qualifying Compensation for Tax Deductibility.”
