Long-Term Incentive Compensation
|
| | Annual equity compensation awards of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units; or long-term incentive-based cash compensation opportunity | | | Align NEO interests with those of our stockholders by rewarding the creation of long-term stockholder value and encouraging stock ownership and/or rewarding the achievement of goals that we believe will drive long-term stockholder value | |
|
Health, Welfare and Retirement Benefits
|
| | Qualified retirement plans and health care and insurance | | | Attract and retain the NEO by providing market-competitive benefits | |
|
Severance and Change in Control
Arrangements |
| | Reasonable severance payments and benefits provided upon an involuntary termination, including an involuntary termination following a change in control of the Company | | | Help attract and retain high quality talent by providing market-competitive severance protection, and help encourage the NEO to direct his or her attention to stockholders’ interests, notwithstanding the potential for loss of employment in connection with a change in control | |
|
WHAT WE DO
|
| | |
WHAT WE DON’T DO
|
|
| Pay-for-performance philosophy emphasizes compensation tied to creation of stockholder value, with a significant portion of NEOs’ overall compensation tied to our performance | | | |
No excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control
|
|
| Robust compensation governance practices, including annual CEO performance evaluation process by independent directors, thorough process for setting rigorous performance goals, compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors and use of an independent compensation consultant | | | |
No discounting, reloading or re-pricing of stock options without stockholder approval
|
|
| Limited perquisites and reasonable severance and change in control protection that requires involuntary termination | | | | No guaranteed incentive awards for executives | |
| Clawback provisions in annual and equity incentive compensation plans | | | |
No “single trigger” change in control acceleration of equity awards or severance payments
|
|
| Policies prohibiting executives for hedging or pledging our stock | | | | | |
| Strong stock ownership guidelines for executives (five times base salary for CEO and three times base salary for other NEOs) | | | | | |
| Annual say-on-pay vote to approve compensation paid to our NEOs | | | | | |
