Executive Officer Compensation

The Executive Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of four independent directors, oversees the company’s executive compensation programs and establishes its executive compensation policies. The Committee reports on executive compensation to all of the independent directors of the board and makes recommendations to them regarding those executive compensation matters with respect to which the independent directors have final approval. (See “Report of the Executive Compensation Committee” beginning on page 9.)
