This excerpt taken from the PCG DEF 14A filed Apr 1, 2009. What Are the Primary Components of NEO Compensation Paid or Earned During 2008? Compensation programs for NEOs in 2008 were substantially similar to those in 2007. Starting with compensation paid in 2008, the Committee changed the effective date for adjustments to annual base salary to March 1 from January 1. The date was changed to provide PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company with a complete year of individual and corporate performance data for consideration in determining annual compensation adjustments.
Total target annual compensation each year includes (1) base salary, (2) the target amount of the annual cash incentive that could be received under the PG&E Corporation Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) based on a percentage of base salary, and (3) the target value of equity awards granted under the 2006 PG&E Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The actual value of short-term and long-term incentive awards is variable and reflects performance during the relevant measurement period. The following charts illustrate the percentage of target 2008 compensation allocated to base salary, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives for the PG&E Corporation CEO and for the NEOs on average. 41 |
