2003-2005 LTAP

 

Your LTAP grant is denominated in shares of GMH stock. The 3-year plan performance is based solely on GMH Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to selected competitors (as shown in the enclosed materials). This performance against relative TSR will increase or decrease the number of shares awarded to you in three years. Market price appreciation of these shares can also add significantly to the value of final awards in this plan.

Of course, metrics alone cannot drive company performance. HUGHES success depends on your ability as a senior leader to align organizational and individual goals with these overall company metrics. I count on you, as a senior leader of HUGHES, to communicate this line of sight to your employees – keeping them focussed on what matters on a day to day basis.

 

We have already had an eventful first quarter – our due diligence efforts culminated in the News Corp. announcement, terrific operating performance led to an increase in our guidance, we completed the DIRECTV financing package and DIRECTV Latin America filed under Chapter 11 for reorganization. The rest of the year will bring equally tough challenges and successes as we continue to increase operational efficiencies while driving towards our transaction completion. I know you can meet these challenges and inspire your employees to do the same. I look forward to working together with you as we reach our goals and meet our commitments in 2003.

 

Sincerely,
