This excerpt taken from the AES 10-K filed Aug 7, 2007. 2003 Long Term Compensation Plan The Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards table include amounts relating to Performance Units (PUs), Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Stock Options (Options) granted under the LTC Plan. 252 Performance Units The amount reported in the Non-Equity Plan Incentive Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table for each executive includes amounts paid in the first quarter of 2007 for PUs awarded in 2004. The amount paid to each executive is set forth in footnote 5 to that table. The amounts paid were based on our realization of the Cash Value Added required by the 2004 PU awards for the three year period ended December 31, 2006. Cash Value Added is our subsidiary operating cash flow less a charge for capital used during the three year period, as determined by the Compensation Committee at the time a PU is granted. Adjustments to the Cash Value Added set forth in any PU may be made based on changes to our portfolio, such as an asset divestiture or sale of a portion of our equity interest in a subsidiary. The PUs vest in equal installments over a three year period. The payments made with respect to PUs are based on the realization of the Cash Value Added set forth in the PU award. If the Cash Value Added is less than 90% of the performance target, no payment is made. If the Cash Value Added is 90 percent, each PU has a value of $0.50. If the Cash Value Added is greater than 90 percent and less than 100 percent, and greater than 100 percent and less than 120% of the performance target, the value of each PU is based upon straight-line interpolation, subject to a maximum value of $2.00 per PU. During the three year period ended December 31, 2006, the Cash Value Added exceeded the target for Cash Value Added set forth in each executives 2004 Performance Units. As a result, the payment made to each executive was $1.1076 per unit. The Summary Compensation Table does not include any amounts payable in the future under Performance Units awarded in years after 2004. Restricted Stock Units The amount reported in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table for each executive is based upon the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the year ended December 31, 2006 of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) held by the executive, including RSUs granted in prior years. Each RSU is awarded pursuant to the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and represents the right to receive a single share of our common stock. Each RSU award vests in equal installments on each anniversary of the award over a three year period if (1) the executive continues to be employed by us on such date and (2) either (A) our total stockholder return (TSR) exceeds the TSR of the S&P 500 Index for the three year vesting period, or (B) our TSR is positive, the S&P 500 Index is positive, and our TSR is within five percent of the TSR of the S&P 500 Index, in each case for the three year vesting period (provided that the Compensation Committee does not exercise the discretion it has in such circumstances to prevent the RSUs from vesting). Once RSUs are vested, the executive must continue holding them for an additional two years before they are paid out. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to direct the payment of the RSUs to be paid in cash, based on the fair market value of our shares on the delivery date. The grant date fair value of the RSUs awarded in 2006 is included in the amounts reported under the Grant Date Fair Value of Awards column of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. Options The amount reported in the Option Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table for each executive is based upon the dollar amount recognized for financial reporting purposes for the year ended December 31, 2006 of Options held by the executive, including Options granted in prior years pursuant to 253 our LTC Plan and prior plans. Each Option is awarded pursuant to the terms of an option agreement and represents the right to purchase a share of our common stock at a fixed exercise price after the Option vests. Each Option vests in equal installments on each anniversary of the award over a three year period, provided the executive continues to be employed by us on that date. Effect of Termination of Employment or Change in Control The vesting of Performance Units, Restricted Stock Units, and Options and the ability of the named executive officers to exercise or receive payments under those awards are affected by a termination of their employment and by a change in control. These events and the related payments and benefits are described in Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control in this Form 10-K/A. 254 This excerpt taken from the AES DEF 14A filed May 25, 2007. 2003 Long Term Compensation Plan The Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards table include amounts relating to Performance Units (PUs), Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Stock Options (Options) granted under the LTC Plan.
