COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS / DETERMINATION OF CEO COMPENSATION



        Determination of CEO Compensation
        At each February Committee meeting, without the CEO present, the Committee reviews and evaluates CEO performance,
        and determines achievement levels for the prior year. At this meeting, the Committee also discusses an evaluation of the
        CEO’s performance, competitive compensation data, and salary and annual incentive pay recommendations with the
        independent members of the Board. In addition, the Committee reviews and discusses an award of RSUs and the target
        PSU grant size for the CEO at that meeting, which is also discussed with the independent members of the Board. The
        Committee’s independent compensation consultant provides the Committee with comparative compensation, background
        materials and analysis, and its recommendation in connection with these determinations.
