On December 18, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2009 Executive Management Incentive Compensation (the "2009 Executive MIC") for the Company's executive officers, including the Company's named executive officers (collectively, the "Executives"). The 2009 Executive MIC, including the 2009 short-term incentive goals (the "2009 Executive MIC Goals"), was established pursuant to and in accordance with the Executive Management Incentive Compensation Plan adopted by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Stockholders' Meeting on June 10, 2008 ("Executive MIC Plan"). The 2009 Executive MIC covers the Company's 2009 fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.
Under the 2009 Executive MIC, Executives are eligible to receive annual bonus awards ("MIC Bonus") based on combinations of performance measures which fall into one of three classes of metrics: (1) Core Company Financial Metric, (2) Key Scorecard Metrics, which may include Company financial metrics as well as business unit specific metrics, and (3) Overhead Expense Budget Metrics. The table below summarizes the 2009 fiscal year performance measures and the range of weighting for such performance measures for Executives:
Executives
Performance Measure
Performance Measure Weighting Range
Core Company Financial Metric: 75%
† Operating Income
Key Scorecard Metrics Up to 25%
Overhead Expense Budget Metrics Up to 25%
|
The objective of the 2009 Executive MIC is to encourage Executives to contribute toward the attainment of the Company's consolidated financial and performance goals for fiscal year 2009 (the "plan period"). If the minimum targets are not achieved for the plan period, no MIC Bonus is paid to the Executive. Earned MIC Bonuses are paid annually and are paid in cash. A MIC Bonus payout may be more or less than 100% (up to a maximum of 200%) depending on the level of attainment for the respective metric as set forth in the table below.
MIC Bonus
Payout
Metric Class Target Attainment Percentage Percentage
Core Company Financial Metric 86% Attainment 14 %
100% Attainment 100 %
116.3% Attainment 200 %
Key Scorecard Metrics Less Than Minimum Attainment 0 %
Target Attainment 100 %
Maximum Attainment 200 %
Applicable Budget Metrics Less Than 86% Attainment 0 %
100% Attainment 100 %
116.3% Attainment 200 %
|
The 2009 Executive MIC further provides that no MIC Bonus payout shall exceed 100% if the Core Company Financial Metric does not exceed target attainment level.
An Executive's MIC Bonus may be adjusted downward by an amount equal to up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Executive's MIC Bonus payout amount in the event that the Executive fails to satisfy certain management performance factors. Management performance factors will be established by, and their achievement determined by, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
In order to be entitled to any payment under the 2009 Executive MIC, the Executive must be an employee of the Company on the date of payment, except to the extent otherwise provided by the Company. If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason prior to the payment date, the Executive will not be eligible for a MIC Bonus for the plan period, and the Executive will forfeit all rights to such payment except to the extent otherwise provided by the Company.
The Company reserves the right at any time during the 2009 Executive MIC plan
period to: (a) amend or terminate the 2009 Executive MIC in whole or in part,
(b) revoke any eligible Executive's right to participate in the 2009 Executive
MIC, and (c) make adjustments to targets at any time during the 2009 Executive
MIC plan period; provided, however, any such adjustments shall be in accordance
with the terms of the Executive MIC Plan.
