Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 7, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of ABM
Industries Incorporated approved bonuses for executive officers and key
employees under ABM's 2007 annual performance incentive program for executives
and key employees. The Committee approved bonuses to James McClure, Executive
Vice President & President, ABM Janitorial; James Lusk, Executive Vice President
& Chief Financial Officer; Steven Zaccagnini, Executive Vice President; and
Linda Auwers, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, in accordance with the
terms of the 2006 Executive Officer Incentive Plan and the 2007 annual
performance incentive program. George Sundby, former Executive Vice President &
Chief Financial Officer, under the terms of his Employment Agreement as amended
effective March 9, 2007, was entitled to 100 percent of his target bonus of
50 percent of his base salary. However, in recognition of Mr. Sundby's efforts
during the year, the Committee approved an amount equal to what his bonus would
have been under the 2007 annual performance incentive plan, resulting in a bonus
payment of 112 percent of target.
At the January 7, 2008, meeting, the Committee also reviewed the fiscal year
2008 base compensation and target bonuses for Messrs. Lusk, McClure, and
Zaccagnini and Ms. Auwers, evaluating current duties and responsibilities and
comparative compensation information with the Committee's independent
compensation consultant. Following the review, the Committee established base
salaries effective as of November 1, 2007, and approved the 2008 annual
performance incentive program for executives and key employees.
The criteria used in the annual performance incentive program include Company
performance ("Company Results"), individual performance in providing strategic
leadership, employee leadership, and compliance and administration ("Individual
Performance"), and performance of the operating subsidiaries or department which
such executive heads ("Unit Results"). The Company Results component is based on
certain targets for income from continuing operations ("Company Income") subject
to discretionary strategic results modifiers ("Strategic Results Modifiers") and
achievement of a threshold Company Income amount. The performance metrics for
the Strategic Results Modifiers include revenue growth, operating profit
margins, cash flow, cost reduction and other strategic performance targets.
For Mr. McClure, the Unit Results component of his bonus is based on certain
pre-tax net income targets of the Company's janitorial subsidiaries ("Janitorial
Income"), subject to strategic results modifiers to include achievement of
certain days sales outstanding targets. The Janitorial Results component is
subject to achievement of a threshold amount of Janitorial Income. For Mr.
Zaccagnini, the Unit Results component of his bonus is based on certain pre-tax
net income targets for the Company's Engineering, Parking, Lighting and Security
subsidiaries, subject to achievement of threshold amounts of pre-tax net income
with respect to each of these businesses. The Unit Results component of
Ms. Auwers's bonus will be based on the performance of the Legal Department that
she heads in meeting its major objectives for the year. Ms. Auwers is expected
to retire on May 15, 2008.
The 2008 fiscal year base salaries, target bonuses, bonus factors, weighting and payout ranges for Messrs. Lusk, McClure, and Zaccagnini and Ms. Auwers are shown below:
