This excerpt taken from the LTD DEF 14A filed Apr 16, 2007. Purpose The Plan is intended to enhance our ability to attract and retain highly qualified executive and managerial-level associates and to provide additional financial incentives to such associates to promote the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. Incentive compensation payable under the Plan is intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, Code Section 162(m) disallows deductions for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any of the five executives of a public corporation required to be named in its proxy statement (a “Section 162(m) Executive”) unless the compensation is based on attainment of objective performance criteria. However, the Company reserves the right to pay discretionary bonuses, or other types of compensation outside of the Plan, including under the Company’s 1993 Stock Option and Performance Incentive Plan, as amended. |
