This excerpt taken from the NDAQ DEF 14A filed Apr 3, 2009.

General Philosophy

The management compensation committee recognizes its important responsibilities to our stockholders. The committee has endeavored to create a compensation program that meets the needs of our global company and its stockholders. The following core principles reflect the committee’s current compensation philosophy:

 

  •  

performance-based incentives motivate employees to achieve short- and long-range goals and therefore are the foundation of our compensation program;

 

  •  

our compensation plans and arrangements are designed to attract and retain key employees;

 

  •  

performance-based compensation enables employees to participate in the short- and long-term growth and financial success of the company;

 

  •  

we endeavor to use equity incentives and stock ownership guidelines as tools to align the long-term interests of officers and employees with those of stockholders;

 

  •  

the compensation plans and arrangements should not encourage excessive risk-taking by management;

 

  •  

we reward management for maintaining a premier regulatory program; and

 

  •  

we limit executive perquisites.
