Future Programs
On February 7, 2013, the Committee approved the formulae for determining the maximum award amounts for equity awards issued in 2014 with respect to 2013 and for 2013 incentive compensation awards. The formulae reflect the Company’s intention to preserve, to the extent possible, the tax deductibility of equity awards and cash incentive compensation made to covered officers under Section 162(m) (1) – (4) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under the formula for equity awards, the maximum equity award grant value amounts for the 2014 equity awards are determined based on a performance incentive pool equal to 0.75% of the adjusted net earnings of the Company. Adjusted net earnings of the Company is defined as the net earnings before extraordinary items, discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of accounting changes and excluding certain other items designated by the Committee. In addition, individual awards are limited to the maximum provided in the 2012 Performance Incentive Plan of 500,000 shares or such lesser number as may be provided in any successor plan.
Under the formula for incentive compensation awards, the maximum award amounts are determined based on a performance incentive pool equal to 0.6% of the 2013 adjusted net earnings as defined above. In addition, individual award amounts are limited to the shareholder-approved maximum set forth in the 2012 Performance Incentive Plan of $12.0 million (taking into account both cash and the fair market value of any common stock payable with respect to such award).
At the conclusion of 2013, the performance pools for the 2014 deferred stock awards and the incentive compensation awards will be calculated and divided among the covered officers. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s maximum award from each performance pool is limited to one-third of the pool, and the remaining covered officers each will be eligible for a maximum award equal to one-sixth of the pool, in each case, subject to the individual maximum awards defined in the 2012 Performance Incentive Plan.
The Company will provide additional information regarding the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be issued in March 2013.
