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:

 

n  

Considers the performance of MMC and, as applicable, each senior executive’s operating company, as well as individual performance, subject to any prior contractual commitments; and

 

n  

Determines and approves both the annual short-term incentive awards and the annual long-term incentive awards in the month of February following the end of the year.

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 executive’s 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 Committee’s compensation decisions for fiscal year 2007. This reflects the Compensation Committee’s view that a senior executive’s total compensation should reflect performance and the market value of his or her services.
