Change in Directors or Principal Officers
On April 30, 2008, the Board of Directors of Compuware Corporation (the "Company") approved the recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the Board to modify Compuware's Executive Incentive Plan ("EIP"). For fiscal year 2009, worldwide revenue will be replaced as one of the performance measures for awards made under the EIP with total sales commitments, which is defined as the sum of software license and maintenance contracts closed during the fiscal year, professional services revenue, and application services revenue. The Board and Committee believe that the Company's performance in a fiscal year is better measured by using total sales commitments because that measure captures all successful sales activity in a given fiscal year. The other performance measure under the EIP will remain earnings per share. All other terms of the EIP will remain the same.
On April 30, 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board approved salary increases for various executives, including Robert Paul, who was promoted from his position as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Covisint division of the Company to President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective April 1, 2008. Mr. Paul's salary will increase by $75,000 to $550,000, effective April 1, 2008.
