This excerpt taken from the NDAQ DEF 14A filed Apr 21, 2006. Compensation of the CEO and President
For 2005, Robert Greifeld, President and CEO of Nasdaq, received an annual salary of $790,000 and cash incentive bonus of $3,325,000, which was paid in February 2006. For 2005, Mr. Greifelds employment agreement set his annual salary at $790,000 and a target cash incentive bonus opportunity of $1,750,000, which was not guaranteed and subject to discretionary increase based on performance goals as established by the Committee in March 2005 for the ECIP. As with other executive officers, Mr. Greifelds performance goals were tied to Nasdaqs operating income (75% in the case of Mr. Greifeld), and the annual employee satisfaction index results (10% in the case of Mr. Greifeld). The remaining 15% of Mr. Greifelds performance goals were tied to Nasdaqs total revenue. As noted previously, objective performance goals allow bonus payouts of up to 200% of the target bonus opportunity in the event the actual goal results exceed the targets established. Mr. Greifeld earned $2,625,000 for the operating income portion of his target bonus, $175,000 for the results of the annual employee satisfaction index and $525,000 for the total budgeted revenue, for a total of $3,325,000.
In accordance with his employment agreement, Mr. Greifeld was awarded 100,000 shares of restricted stock in May 2005 under the Equity Plan, which will vest as follows: 33,000 shares on May 12, 2006, 33,000 shares on May 12, 2007, and 34,000 shares on May 12, 2008.
