DETERMINATION OF CEO COMPENSATION / COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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.
