This excerpt taken from the MMC DEF 14A filed Apr 1, 2008. Total Compensation Framework Our total compensation framework is designed to integrate the primary components of our compensation program for each fiscal year, which runs concurrently with the calendar year. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee:
This approach enables the Compensation Committee to evaluate performance on a consistent basis and consider the appropriate mix and weight of each element of compensation for each senior executives total compensation each year. While the Compensation Committee recognizes that adjusting the level of one element of compensation for a senior executive in any year may affect the determination of another element of compensation for that senior executive, the Compensation Committee does not require or assume any fixed relationship among the various elements of compensation within the total compensation framework. Pension accruals and compensation previously paid to our named executive officers, including amounts realized or realizable under prior equity-based awards, did not affect the Compensation Committees compensation decisions for fiscal year 2007. This reflects the Compensation Committees view that a senior executives total compensation should reflect performance and the market value of his or her services. |
