A Large Majority of Our NEOs’ Target Pay is At-Risk
Our high performance culture and pay for performance philosophy strongly align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stakeholders. As shown in the following charts, our 2023 target executive compensation program was heavily weighted towards at-risk compensation. Our CEO has 93% of his target compensation at risk with variable components. Approximately 69% is directly linked to performance of the Company through the value of his target AIP and performance-based equity awards, which is 70% of the target long term incentive award made each year. While these graphs represent target awards made during the year, actual earned pay is impacted directly by performance measures as well as stock price performance during the year. On average, our other NEOs also have approximately 85% of their target compensation at risk and 64% of their compensation linked directly to performance.
These figures include annualized salary, target AIP and annual target equity award grant values. Figures exclude the items outlined in the Summary Compensation Table as 'All Other Compensation.' The 'Average Other NEO' figures exclude the CEO.
