* | Agenda items for the Annual Meeting |
2
Q: | What am I voting on? |
A: | You are voting on TWO proposals: |
1. | Election of four directors for a term of three years, with the following as the Boards nominees: |
2. | Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2008. |
Q: | What are the voting recommendations of the Board? |
A: | The Board of Directors is soliciting this proxy and recommends the following votes: |
| FOR each of the director nominees; and | |
| FOR ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2008. |
Q: | Will any other matters be voted on? |
A: | We are not aware of any other matters that you will be asked to vote on at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their discretion to vote on these matters as they may arise. Furthermore, if a nominee cannot or will not serve as director, then the proxy holders will vote for a person whom they believe will carry out our present policies. |
Q: | Who can vote? |
A: | If you hold shares of our Common Stock, CUSIP No. 478366107, as of the close of business on November 15, 2007, then you are entitled to one vote per share at the Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting. |
Q: | How do I vote? |
A: | There are four ways to vote: |
| by Internet at http://www.eproxy.com/jci/ |
| by toll-free telephone at 1-800-560-1965; | |
| by completing and mailing your proxy card; or | |
| by written ballot at the Annual Meeting. |
3
Q: | What is the effect of not voting? |
A: | It will depend on how your share ownership is registered. |
| If shares you own are registered in your name and you do not vote, your unvoted shares will not be represented at the meeting and will not count toward the quorum requirement. In the case of a non-routine proposal, if a quorum is obtained and shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Johnson Controls stock cast votes on the non-routine proposal, your unvoted shares will not affect whether the proposal is approved or rejected. There are no non-routine proposals to be voted upon at this years Annual Meeting. | |
| If you own shares in street name through a broker and do not vote, your broker may represent your shares at the meeting for purposes of obtaining a quorum. In the absence of your voting instructions, your broker may or may not vote your shares at its discretion depending on the proposals before the meeting. Your broker may vote your shares at its discretion and your shares will count toward the quorum requirement on routine matters. Your broker may not, however, vote your shares on proposals determined to be non-routine. In such cases, the absence of voting instructions results in a broker non-vote. Broker non-voted shares are counted toward the quorum requirement but they do not affect the determination of whether a non-routine matter is approved or rejected. We believe that Proposals One and Two are routine matters on which brokers will be permitted to vote on behalf of their clients if no voting instructions are furnished. Again, there are no non-routine proposals to be voted upon at this years Annual Meeting. | |
| If you own shares through a Johnson Controls retirement or employee savings and investment plan [401(k)], and you do not direct the trustee of the 401(k) plan to vote your shares, or if the trustee does not receive your proxy card by January 17, 2008, then the trustee will vote the shares credited to your account in the same proportion as the voting of shares for which the trustee receives direction from other participants. | |
| If you sign and return a proxy card for your shares but you do not indicate a voting direction, then the shares you hold will be voted FOR each of the nominees listed in Proposal One, FOR Proposal Two, and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies, upon such other matters that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments thereof. |
Q: | Can I change my vote? |
A: | Yes. You can change your vote or revoke your proxy any time before the Annual Meeting by: |
| entering a new vote by Internet or phone; | |
| returning a later-dated proxy card; | |
| notifying Jerome D. Okarma, Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel, by written revocation letter addressed to the Milwaukee address listed on the front page; or | |
| completing a written ballot at the Annual Meeting. |
4
Q: | What vote is required to approve each proposal? |
A: | Provided a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, shareholders will elect the four director nominees receiving the greatest number of votes. Also provided a quorum is present, the votes shareholders cast for must exceed the votes shareholders cast against to approve the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2008. |
Q: | Is my vote confidential? |
A: | Yes. Only the election inspectors and certain individuals, independent of our company, who help with the processing and counting of the vote have access to your vote. Our directors and employees may see your vote only if we need to defend ourselves against a claim or in the event of a proxy solicitation by someone other than our company. |
Q: | Who will count the vote? |
A: | Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will count the vote. Its representatives will serve as the inspectors of the election. |
Q: | What shares are covered by my proxy card? |
A: | The shares covered by your proxy card represent the shares of our Common Stock that you own that are registered with our company and our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., including those shares you own through our dividend reinvestment plan and employee stock purchase plan. Additionally, shares our employees own that are credited to our employee retirement and savings and investment plans [401(k)] are also covered by your proxy card. The trustee of these plans will vote these shares as directed. |
Q: | What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card? |
A: | It means your shares are held in more than one account. You should vote the shares on all your proxy cards using one of the four ways to vote. To provide better shareholder services, we encourage you to have all your non-broker account shares registered in the same name and address. You may do this by contacting our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., toll-free at 1-877-602-7397. |
Q: | Who can attend the Annual Meeting? |
A: | All shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2007 can attend the meeting. Seating, however, is limited. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be on a first arrival basis. |
5
Q: | What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting? |
A: | To attend the Annual Meeting, please follow these instructions: |
| If shares you own are registered in your name or if you own shares through a Johnson Controls retirement or employee savings and investment plan, bring your proof of ownership of our Common Stock and a form of identification; or | |
| If a broker or other nominee holds your shares, bring proof of your ownership of our Common Stock through such broker or nominee and a form of identification. |
Q: | Will there be a management presentation at the Annual Meeting? |
A: | Management will give a brief presentation at the Annual Meeting. |
Q: | Can I bring a guest? |
A: | While bringing a guest is not prohibited, please be aware that seating availability at the Annual Meeting is limited. |
Q: | What is the quorum requirement of the Annual Meeting? |
A: | A majority of the shares outstanding on November 15, 2007 constitutes a quorum for voting at the Annual Meeting. If you vote, your shares will be part of the quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in determining the quorum, but neither will be counted as votes cast FOR or AGAINST any of the proposals. On the record date, 594,617,318 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding. |
Q: | How much did this proxy solicitation cost? |
A: | We will primarily solicit proxies by mail and we will cover the expense of such solicitation. Georgeson Inc. will help us solicit proxies from all brokers and nominees at a cost of $10,000 plus expenses. Our officers and employees may also solicit proxies for no additional compensation. We may reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses they incur in sending these proxy materials to you if a broker or other nominee holds your shares. |
6
Q: | How do I recommend or nominate someone to be considered as a director for the 2009 Annual Meeting? |
A: | You may recommend any person as a candidate for director by writing to Jerome D. Okarma, our Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel. The Corporate Governance Committee reviews all submissions of recommendations from shareholders. The Corporate Governance Committee will determine whether the candidate is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors by evaluating the candidate using the criteria contained under the Director Qualifications and Selection section of the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines, which is discussed under Proposal One: Election of Directors Nominating Committee Disclosure. Alternatively, if shares you own are registered in your name and you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, then you may nominate any person for director by writing to Mr. Okarma. Your letter must include your intention to nominate a person as a director and include the candidates name, biographical data, and qualifications, as well as the written consent of the person to be named in our proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director. To nominate a person as a director for the 2009 Annual Meeting, our By-Laws require that a shareholder send written notice not less than 45 days and not more than 75 days prior to the month and day in the current year corresponding to the date on which we first mailed our proxy materials for the prior years Annual Meeting. Therefore, since we anticipate mailing this proxy statement on December 7, 2007, we must receive notice of shareholder intent to nominate a person as a director no sooner than September 23, 2008, and no later than October 23, 2008. A copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines is provided at our website at http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/governance, or you may request a copy of these materials by contacting Shareholder Services at the address or phone number provided in the Questions and Answers section of this proxy statement and they will be mailed to you at no cost. |
Q: | When are shareholder proposals due for the 2009 Annual Meeting? |
A: | Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we must receive shareholder proposals by August 9, 2008 to consider them for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2009 Annual Meeting. |
7
Q: | What are the requirements for proposing business other than by a shareholder proposal at the 2009 Annual Meeting? |
A: | A shareholder who intends to propose business at the 2009 Annual Meeting, other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, must comply with the requirements set forth in our By-Laws. Among other things, a shareholder must give written notice of the intent to propose business before the Annual Meeting to us during the 30-day timeframe described above relating to nominating a person as a director. Therefore, based upon the anticipated mailing date of December 7, 2007, we must receive notice of shareholder intent to propose business before the Annual Meeting, submitted other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, no sooner than September 23, 2008, and no later than October 23, 2008. |
Q: | What changes were made to the Companys Articles of Incorporation due to the 3 for 1 stock split? |
A: | We amended and restated the Articles of Incorporation. The total number of authorized shares was changed to 1,802,000,000, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was changed from 600,000,000 to 1,800,000,000, and the par value per share of Common Stock was changed from $0.041/16 to $0.017/18. |
Q: | Where can I find Corporate Governance materials for Johnson Controls? |

Retirement of Paul A. Brunner: | Mr. Paul A. Brunner will retire as a director on December 31, 2007 after having reached our mandatory retirement age for directors. He has served as a director since 1983 and is currently in the class whose terms expire at the 2009 Annual Meeting. Our Board of Directors has not at this time taken formal action to nominate a candidate to serve as a twelfth director after Mr. Brunners retirement, but the Corporate Governance Committee is in the process of identifying and qualifying an appropriate candidate. | |
Board Structure: | As a result, the size of our Board of Directors will decrease to eleven effective upon his retirement, which we expect to be a temporary change. This action did not require a By-laws amendment because our current By-laws provide for a range of no less than ten nor more than thirteen members. Directors are divided into three classes. At each Annual Meeting, the term of one class expires. Directors in each class serve three-year terms, or until the directors earlier retirement pursuant to the Board of Directors Retirement Policy, or until his or her successor is duly qualified and elected. | |
Shareholder and Other Interested Party Communication with the Board: | We encourage shareholder and other interested party communication with directors. General communication with any member of the board may be sent to his or her attention at 5757 North Green Bay Avenue, P.O. Box 591, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53201-0591. You may send communications regarding financial or accounting policies to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Robert A. Cornog, at Robert.A.Cornog@jci.com or to the attention of Mr. Cornog at 5757 North Green Bay Avenue, P.O. Box 591, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53201-0591. You may send other communications to the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee, Robert L. Barnett, at Robert.L.Barnett@jci.com or to the attention of Mr. Barnett at the address noted above. We do not screen emails to these individuals. We do, however, screen regular mail for security purposes. | |
Director Attendance at the Annual Meeting: | We have a long-standing policy of director attendance at the Annual Meeting. All of the directors attended the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. | |
Nominating Committee Disclosure: | The Corporate Governance Committee serves the nominating committee role. We describe the material terms of this role in the committees Charter, a description of which appears under the Board Committees section of this proxy statement. The committees Charter, the Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the committees procedures are published at http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/governance. The Committee Independence section of the Corporate Governance Guidelines requires that all members of the committee be independent, as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines. The committee has a process under which the committee identifies and evaluates all director candidates, regardless of whether nominated as required by the By-laws, or recommended. In order to identify director candidates, the |
11
committee maintains a file of recommended potential director nominees (including those recommended by shareholders), solicits candidates from current directors, evaluates recommendations and nominations by shareholders and will, if deemed appropriate, retain for a fee recruiting professionals to identify and evaluate candidates. The committee uses the following criteria, among others, to evaluate any candidates capabilities to serve as a member of the Board: skill sets, professional experience, independence, other time demands (including service on other boards), diversity, technical capabilities, and international and industry experience. Further, the committee reviews the qualifications of any candidate with those of current directors to determine coverage and gaps in experience in related industries, such as automotive and electronics, and in functional areas, such as finance, manufacturing, technology, labor, employment and investing. The Chairman of the Board and the Chairperson of the committee will also lead an evaluation of each candidate who may stand for reelection based upon the preceding criteria before nominating such director for reelection. Therefore, the committee will evaluate all director candidates in a similar manner regardless of how each director was identified, recommended, or nominated. |

(York) employees who participate in the plan, accrue a smaller benefit than other participants because their service no longer counts under the plans benefit formula. |
| A 401(k) plan. The plan generally covers all of our U.S. employees, including the named executive officers. Under the 401(k) plan, participants can contribute up to 25% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, although our executive officers can contribute only up to 6% of their compensation. We make a matching contribution of 50% to 100%, based on company performance, of each dollar of employee contributions up to 6% of the employees eligible compensation. In addition, for employees that we hired on or after January 1, 2006 and for York employees, including Mr. Myers, we make an annual retirement contribution of 1% to 7% of the |
25
participants annual compensation based on the participants age and service. The York employees, including Mr. Myers, receive this annual retirement contribution because their accruals under the pension plan are smaller than other pension plan participants, as we describe above. Both the matching contribution and the annual retirement contribution are subject to vesting requirements. |
| A Retirement Restoration Plan. Because the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, limits the benefits we can provide under the pension plan and the 401(k) plan, we sponsor our Retirement Restoration Plan. The Retirement Restoration Plan generally allows all employees that the Code limitations impact to obtain the full intended benefit from the pension and 401(k) plans, without regard to the Code limits, upon meeting vesting requirements. These employees include our executive officers, except that Mr. Myers, along with all other York employees, is not eligible for a benefit that supplements his pension plan benefit. In addition, only the executive officers are allowed to contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to 6% of their compensation that is not allowed to be deferred into the 401(k) plan and to receive a supplemental matching contribution. |

|
(1) | We have not reduced amounts that we show to reflect a named executive officers election, if any, to defer the receipt of compensation into our qualified and nonqualified deferral plans. | |
(2) | Amounts are based on the dollar amount of the expense that we recognized in connection with awards to our named executive officers under our 2000 Stock Option Plan for |
29
financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. We determined the amount of the expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payments, which we refer to as FAS 123(R), except that the amounts reported in our Summary Compensation Table do not take into account any estimates of forfeitures relating to service-based vesting, as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In general, FAS 123(R) requires us to expense the value of equity awards ratably over the vesting period of the equity award, and the amounts in our Summary Compensation Table therefore include amounts attributable to awards granted in and prior to fiscal 2007. Footnote 12 to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission not later than November 29, 2007, includes assumptions (other than estimates of forfeitures) that we used in the calculation of these amounts. | ||
(3) | Amounts reflect the cash awards to the named executive officers which we discuss in further detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the headings How do we determine annual incentive performance awards? and How do we determine long-term cash incentive performance awards?. Our named executive officers earned the amounts attributable to the annual incentive awards during fiscal year 2007, and they earned the amounts attributable to the long-term incentive awards based on performance during fiscal years 2005-2007. We paid these amounts after our fiscal year-end (September 30, 2007). | |
(4) | Amounts reflect the actuarial increase in the present value of the named executive officers benefits under all defined benefit pension plans that we have established, determined as of the measurement dates we used for financial statement reporting purposes for fiscal year 2007 and using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those that we used in our financial statements. We changed our measurement date from July 31 to September 30 in fiscal year 2007. As a result, the change in pension value that occurred between July 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 involves a period longer than a year. Therefore, as the Securities and Exchange Commission permits, we elected to reduce the actual change in pension value for each named executive officer to show an annualized amount in the table. The amounts include benefits that the named executive officer may not currently be entitled to receive because the executive is not vested in such benefits. No named executive officer received preferential or above market earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation. | |
(5) | Amounts reflect reimbursements with respect to financial planning, personal use of a vehicle, relocation expenses, personal use of our aircraft and club dues. (We discuss these benefits further under the heading Do we provide perquisites to our executive officers? on page 26.) Amounts also reflect our matching contributions under our qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, as follows: Mr. Barth $216,132; Mr. Roell $126,044; Mr. Wandell $83,813; Mr. McDonald $79,282; and Mr. Myers $140,537. The amount shown for Mr. Barth also includes $40,000 for financial planning services and tax gross up payments totaling $38,383 that we made in fiscal year 2007 for calendar year 2006 amounts. The amount we show for Mr. Wandell also includes payments in the aggregate of $681,999 in connection with the relocation of Mr. Wandells home under our Domestic Relocation Policy for Current & New Hire Executive Employees, excluding related tax gross up payments incurred by the company in fiscal year 2008. The home relocation payments also include $356,883 which represents our reimbursement of Mr. Wandell for 90% of the difference between the original purchase price for his home and the sale price and 100% of the cost of capital improvements on new construction that Mr. Wandell made within the three years preceding the sale. The amount shown for Mr. Wandell also includes tax gross up payments of $19,232 that we made in fiscal year 2007 for calendar year 2006 amounts. |

(1) | These columns show the range of payouts (a) for annual incentive performance awards which we describe in the section titled How do we determine annual incentive performance awards? in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, and (b) for long-term incentive performance awards which we describe in the section titled How do we determine long-term cash incentive performance awards? in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. We made the annual incentive awards for fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008 as we describe in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, and we include the payout amounts under the fiscal 2007 awards in the Summary Compensation Table in the column titled Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. Payouts, if any, under the annual incentive awards for fiscal 2008 will be reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2008. Payouts, if any, under the long-term incentive awards for the 2007-2009 and 2008-2010 performance periods that we granted will be based on performance for fiscal years 2007, 2008, and 2009, and 2008, 2009, and 2010, respectively. We would make any payments due under the 2007-2009 awards after the end of fiscal year 2009, and any payments due under the 2008-2010 awards after the end of fiscal 2010, as we describe in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. | |
(2) | The amounts shown in this column reflect the number of stock options we granted to each named executive officer pursuant to the 2000 Stock Option Plan, adjusted for the three-for-one split of our stock effective October 2, 2007. The stock options vest 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date, contingent on the executives continued employment, and expire, at the latest, on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. |
31
(3) | We awarded the fiscal year 2007 stock option grants to the named executive officers with an exercise price per share equal to the New York Stock Exchange average of the high and low prices of our stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price per share that we include in this table reflects the three-for-one stock split effective October 2, 2007. Going forward, we will award future grants (fiscal year 2008 and after) with an exercise price per share equal to our closing stock price on the grant date as the 2007 Stock Option Plan contemplates. | |
(4) | Amounts reflect the grant date fair value determined in accordance with FAS 123(R). Footnote 12 to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission not later than November 29, 2007, includes assumptions that we used in the calculation of these amounts. | |
(5) | The award reflected in this row is an annual incentive performance award that we granted for the performance period of fiscal year 2007, the material terms of which we describe in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section titled How do we determine annual incentive performance awards? Because we took final action to grant annual incentive awards for fiscal 2007 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, rather than our usual practice of finalizing the awards in the last quarter of the preceding fiscal year, the SECs disclosure rules require the annual incentive awards for both fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 to appear in this table. | |
(6) | The award reflected in this row is an annual incentive performance award that we granted for the performance period of fiscal year 2008, the material terms of which we describe in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section titled How do we determine annual incentive performance awards? Mr. Barth has announced that he plans to retire on January 1, 2008. Assuming he retires on that date, Mr. Barth will receive only 25% of the amount we show in the table for fiscal year 2008. | |
(7) | The award reflected in this row is a long-term incentive performance award that we granted for the performance period of fiscal years 2008-2010, the material terms of which we describe in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section titled How do we determine long-term cash incentive performance awards? Mr. Barth has announced that he plans to retire on January 1, 2008. Assuming he retires on that date, Mr. Barth will receive only 8.3% of the amount we show in the table for fiscal year 2008. |

(1) | We granted all options listed in this column 10 years prior to their respective expiration dates. The options vest 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date, contingent on continuous employment. | |
(2) | Restricted stock vesting dates are as follows: Mr. Barth 120,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2008, 120,000 shares will vest on January 28, 2008, and 120,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2010; Mr. Roell 48,000 shares will vest on January 2, 2008, 60,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2008, 60,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2010 and 7,500 shares will vest on August 1, 2011; Mr. Wandell 54,000 shares will vest on January 2, 2008, 60,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2008, 60,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2010 and 7,500 shares will vest on August 1, 2011; Mr. McDonald 18,000 shares will vest on January 2, 2008, 22,500 shares will vest on January 3, 2008, 22,500 shares will vest on January 3, 2010 and 7,500 shares will vest on August 1, 2011; Mr. Myers 15,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2008 and 15,000 shares will vest on January 3, 2010. | |
(3) | We calculated the market value of shares of stock that have not vested based on the September 28, 2007 closing market price for a share of our common stock, which was $39.37 (adjusted for the three-for-one stock split effective October 2, 2007). |

(1) | We calculated the amounts reflected in this column using the following assumptions: A calculation date of September 30, 2007, a 6.50% discount rate, retirement occurring at normal retirement age based on Social Security Normal Retirement Age minus three years (Mr. Myers assumed retirement age is 62), and applicability of the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table, that we used for financial reporting purposes as of September 30, 2007. | |
(2) | Mr. Myers is a participant in the Johnson Controls Pension Plan as a historical York Plan participant. |
34
| 1.15% of final average monthly compensation times years of service, plus |
| 0.55% of final average monthly compensation in excess of Social Security covered compensation times years of service (up to 30 years). |
| 1.6% of final average compensation minus 1% of the participants primary Social Security benefit payable at normal retirement age, times years of service (up to 30 years), plus |
| 0.50% of final average compensation times years of service in excess of 30, but not more than 40, years. |
| If a Johnson Controls participant terminates employment prior to age 55, then the reduction is 5% for each year that benefits begin before normal retirement age. If a Johnson Controls participant terminates employment on or after age 55 and after completing ten years of service, then the reduction is 5% for each year that benefits begin before the three years preceding the participants Social Security retirement age. |
| If a York participant terminates employment prior to age 55, then the benefit is actuarially reduced. If a York participant terminates employment on or after age 55, |
35
then benefits are reduced 7% for each year that benefits begin before age 62 and 6% for each year that benefits begin before age 59. |

(1) | Mr. Barths Executive Contributions include $72,000 that is also reported in the Salary column in the Summary Compensation Table and $117,600 that is also reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Barths Registrant Contributions include $205,176 that is also reported in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.

(2) | Amounts shown include the company matching contributions that we make under our Retirement Restoration Plan because the Internal Revenue Code limits such contributions under our 401(k) plan. | |
(3) | The Aggregate Earnings are not above-market or preferential earnings and are therefore not required to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table. The Aggregate Earnings represent all investment earnings, net of fees, on amounts that a named executive officer has deferred. Investment earnings include amounts relating to appreciation in the price of our common stock, because the deferred amounts include deferred stock units, the value of which is tied to the value of our common stock. Aggregate Earnings also include dividends that we pay on restricted stock that has not yet vested, which we credit to a named executive officers deferred compensation account subject to vesting. |
| Our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan allows participants to defer up to 100% of their annual and long-term cash bonuses and restricted stock awards. |
| Our Retirement Restoration Plan allows officers to defer up to 6% of their compensation that is not eligible to be deferred into our 401(k) plan because of qualified plan limits that the Internal Revenue Code imposes. The Retirement Restoration Plan also credits participants with a matching contribution equal to the difference between the amount of matching contribution made under the 401(k) plan and what such matching contribution would have been without regard to any limitation that the Code imposes on either the amount of matching contribution or the amount of compensation that can be considered, and determined as if the amount the participant deferred under the Retirement Restoration Plan had been deferred into our 401(k) plan. The Retirement Restoration Plan also credits participants with an amount equal to the difference between the amount of retirement contribution made under the 401(k) plan and what such retirement contribution would have been without regard to the Code limits. |

Board Meetings: | In fiscal year 2007, the Board held a total of six regular meetings. Also in fiscal year 2007, each Director attended 100% of Board meetings and at least 83% of Board committee meetings for the committees on which the director served. The Board has a presiding director position. The presiding director is a rotational assignment held in turn by the independent Chairpersons of the Audit, Corporate Governance, Compensation, and Finance Committees. In addition, the Board requires executive sessions of the non-management directors at least twice annually. During these executive sessions, and when the Chairperson is unavailable for regular Board meetings, the presiding director has the responsibility to lead the meeting, set the agenda, and determine the information to be provided. | |
Board Independence: | The Board of Directors determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director on an annual basis. The Board makes these determinations in accordance with the NYSEs listing standards for the independence of directors. The Board has established categorical standards of independence to assist it in making determinations of director independence, which we have set forth in the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines and posted on our website (at http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/governance). Under these standards, we will not consider the following relationships that currently exist or that have existed, including during the preceding three years, to be material relationships that would impair a directors independence: | |
a) A family member of the director is or was an employee (other than an executive officer) of our company. | ||
b) A director, or a family member of the director, receives or received less than $100,000 during any twelve-month period in direct compensation from our company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service. We will not consider compensation (a) a director receives for former service as an interim Chairperson or Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer of our company or (b) a family member of the director receives for service as a non-executive employee of our company. | ||
c) A director, or a family member of the director, is a former partner or employee of our companys internal or external auditor but did not personally work on our companys audit within the last three years; or a family member of a director is employed by an internal or external auditor of our company but does not participate in such auditors audit, assurance or tax compliance practice. | ||
d) A director, or a family member of the director, is or was an employee, other than an executive officer, of another company where any of our companys present executives serve on that companys compensation committee. |
50
e) A director is or was an executive officer, employee or director of, or has or had any other relationship (including through a family member) with, another company, that makes payments (other than contributions to tax exempt organizations) to, or receives payments from, our company for property or services in an amount which, in any single fiscal year, does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of such other companys consolidated gross revenues. | ||
f) A director is or was an executive officer, employee or director of, or has or had any other relationship with, a tax exempt organization to which our companys and its foundations contributions in any single fiscal year do not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of such organizations consolidated gross revenues. | ||
g) A director is a shareholder of our company. | ||
h) A director has a relationship that currently exists or that has existed with a company that has a relationship with our company, but the directors relationship with the other company is through the ownership of the stock or other equity interests of that company that constitutes less than 10% of the outstanding stock or other equity interests of that company. | ||
i) A family member of the director, other than his or her spouse, is an employee of a company that has a relationship with our company but the family member is not an executive officer of that company. | ||
j) A family member of the director has a relationship with our company but the family member is not an immediate family member of the director. An immediate family member includes a persons spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-laws, and anyone (other than domestic employees) who shares such persons home. | ||
k) Any relationship that a director previously had that constituted an automatic bar to independence under NYSE listing standards after such relationship no longer constitutes an automatic bar to independence in accordance with NYSE listing standards. | ||
The Board has affirmatively determined by resolution that each of Ms. Black and Messrs. Archer, Barnett, Brunner, Clariond Reyes-Retana, Cornog, Joerres, Lacy, Morcott and Teerlink is independent and has no material relationship with our company, except as a director or shareholder. Based on the NYSEs listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board affirmatively determined that Messrs. Barth and Roell are not independent. The Board is therefore comprised of greater than two-thirds independent directors. |
51
When making director independence determinations, the Board considered the following relationships: | ||
We have business relationships with the law firm of
which Mr. Archer is a partner and the company of which
Mr. Joerres is the chief executive officer. The Board
considered the annual amount of payments to and from our company
and the law firm and the company with which Mr. Archer and
Mr. Joerres, respectively, are affiliated for the last
three fiscal years. The Board determined that the dollar amount
of such payments did not preclude the Board from making an
independence determination for either director under the
NYSEs listing standards and that the relationships fell
within our categorical standards of independence.
|
||
In prior fiscal years, the Board determined that
Mr. Clariond Reyes-Retana was not independent due to his
employment at Grupo IMSA, a company with whom we had a business
relationship. Mr. Clariond Reyes-Retana retired from Grupo
IMSA on December 31, 2006. The Board determined that, based
on his retirement, the NYSEs listing standards do not
preclude the Board from finding that Mr. Clariond
Reyes-Retana is independent and that the prior relationship
falls within our categorical standards of independence.
|
||
Board Succession Plan: | We designed the Board Succession Plan to maintain effective shareholder representation. The plan has three important elements. First, the Plan sets the mandatory retirement age for directors at the last day of the calendar year in which a director reaches his or her 72nd birthday. Second, the Plan states that no director may serve as a committee chair of the same committee for more than five consecutive years or of any committee after the last day of the calendar year in which the director reaches his or her 70th birthday. One year prior to a committee chairs mandatory end date, we will implement a transition process in which the new chair will work collaboratively with the retiring chair as they transition duties and responsibilities. Both the current chair and the successor will receive the retainer that we pay to committee chairs. Third, the Plan requires that at the time a Chief Executive Officer either resigns or retires from our company, he or she must resign and retire from the Board as well, following a transition period upon which the Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee mutually agree. | |
We provide the Corporate Governance Guidelines and Corporate Governance Committee Charter on our website at: http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/governance, or you may request a copy of these materials by contacting Shareholder Services at the address or phone number that we provide in the Questions and Answers section of this proxy statement. | ||
Board Evaluation: | Each year, the Board conducts an evaluation of the nominees, the committees, and the Board to determine the effectiveness of the Board. The Corporate Governance Committee annually |
52
determines the manner of these evaluations to ensure that the Board receives accurate and insightful information. During fiscal 2007, each nominee completed a written self-assessment questionnaire and underwent a performance review, and each director completed a written evaluation of each nominee, as a means to evaluate each nominees effectiveness. Also during fiscal 2007, each director was individually interviewed by a third party to discuss the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. Based on the input of each director, issues were identified for further discussion and potential improvement. As a result of the quality of the information gained through these evaluation processes, the Board was able to objectively evaluate its processes and enhance its procedures to ensure greater director, committee and Board effectiveness. | ||

a related
person means any of our directors, executive officers or
nominees for director or any of their immediate family members;
and
|
||
a related person
transaction generally is a transaction (including any
indebtedness or a guarantee of indebtedness) in which we were or

$120,000, and in which a related person had or will have a
direct or indirect material interest.
|
||
Each of our executive officers, directors or nominees for director is required to disclose to the Audit Committee certain information relating to related person transactions for review, approval or ratification by the Audit Committee. Disclosure to the Audit Committee should occur before, if possible, or as soon as practicable after the related person transaction is effected, but in any event as soon as practicable after the executive officer, director or nominee for director becomes aware of the related person transaction. In addition, the questionnaire we send annually to directors and executive officers will solicit information regarding related person transactions that are currently proposed or occurred since the beginning of our last fiscal year. The Audit Committees decision whether or not to approve or ratify a related person transaction is to be made in light of the Audit Committees determination that consummation of the transaction is not or was not contrary to our best interests. Any related person transaction must be disclosed to the full Board of Directors. |
