Key Compensation Program Features
Our executive compensation program continues to reflect an alignment with current governance trends, while maintaining a competitive compensation design to appropriately reward our executive officers for their contribution to the achievement of our short-term and long-term business goals and the creation and enhancement of stockholder value. Certain best practice, stockholder-friendly elements of our compensation program are described below.
Compensation Program Best Practices
| | |
|---|---|
| ✓ | Strong pay-for-performance linkage between company performance, individual performance, and executive compensation outcomes |
| ✓ | Significant performance-based pay structure for our NEOs |
| ✓ | Structured Annual Bonus Plan, including bonus targets and metric weightings, tied to key financial, strategic, operational, and organizational goals |
| ✓ | Majority of Annual Bonus Plan goals tied to quantitative metrics measuring returns, free cash flow* generation, safety and environmental performance, unit costs, and well cost and quality |
| ✓ | Maximum payout opportunity of 200% under Annual Bonus Plan |
| ✓ | Long-term incentive program with majority of program tied to relative TSR against industry peers and broader market and absolute ROCE* |

| ✓ | Performance awards may not be earned above target (100%) if EOG’s absolute TSR over the three-year performance period is negative |
| ✓ | EOG’s TSR performance is required to be above the median (i.e., the 50th percentile) of the Performance Peer Group (as defined below) in order to earn target (100% of the award) (subject to adjustment pursuant to the ROCE* modifier and negative TSR cap provisions discussed in further detail below) |
| ✓ | Clawback policy in place requiring recoupment of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in the event EOG is required to prepare a financial statement restatement |
| ✓ | Vesting of restricted stock/RSU and performance unit grants held by retiring NEOs based on original vesting date and subject to NEO’s compliance with non-compete agreement expiring on original vesting date |
| ✓ | Meaningful stock ownership by, and above market stock ownership requirements for, the NEOs |
| ✓ | Minimal perks and limited supplemental pension benefits |
| ✓ | No employment agreements |
| ✓ | No single-trigger change-in-control stock grant vesting or severance benefits and no excise tax gross-ups |
