Compensation Objectives and Program Design

The Company’s executive compensation program seeks to promote the creation of long-term shareholder value by:

 

•  

tying a substantial portion of executives’ total compensation to financial performance measures that align with long-term shareholder value and leadership actions that are expected to position the Company for long-term success; and

 

•  

attracting and retaining high-caliber executives in a competitive market for talent.

We use five different types of compensation in pursuing these objectives:

 

•  

a base salary;

 

•  

a variable, annual, performance-based bonus;

 

•  

periodic grants of long-term, equity-based compensation such as stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units;

 

•  

retirement plans and agreements and arrangements regarding compensation upon termination of employment; and

 

•  

benefits and perquisites.

This section discusses how we have designed our compensation program to address these objectives.

 

•  

“Roles and Responsibilities” addresses the process used to make compensation decisions for executive officers.

 

•  

“Compensation Mix” addresses how we balance fixed and performance-based compensation to achieve our objectives.

 

•  

“Performance-Based Compensation” addresses the specific design elements of the Company’s performance-based bonus and equity compensation programs that are designed to align compensation with the creation of long-term shareholder value.

 

•  

“Fixed Compensation” addresses base salary, benefits and perquisites and retirement plans.

 

•  

“Competitive Considerations” addresses how we evaluate the competitive market for talent and use that evaluation in designing compensation packages.

 

•  

“Other considerations” addresses the use of employment agreements and tax deductibility of executive compensation.

Specific compensation decisions relating to fiscal 2009 are discussed in the section titled “2009 Decisions.”
