PROXY SUMMARY executive compensation HIGHLIGHTS
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS
Our executive compensation philosophy is as follows:
| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OVERALL OBJECTIVE | | GUIDING PRINCIPLES | | |
| >Encourage and reward creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value | | >Align with shareholders’ interests >Be competitive at target performance level >Attract, retain, and motivate top executive talent | | >Align pay with performance>Motivate achievement of financial goals and strategic objectives |
Target Pay Mix for Fiscal 2025
Target total direct compensation is the sum of base salary, the target annual cash incentive award and the target value of performance share units, stock options and restricted stock units granted as part of our annual cycle of equity-based awards to executive officers. We believe that the greater an executive’s responsibility level and ability to influence results, the greater the portion of the individual’s overall compensation that should be variable, at-risk compensation. The at-risk pay elements include performance-based awards with payouts dependent upon achievement relative to pre-established goals as well as equity awards whose value increases or decreases based upon stock price.
