Proxy Statement
Program Design and Best Practices
Our executive compensation programs are designed to align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our
stockholders through incentives tied to the annual financial and strategic objectives of the Company and the
creation of long-term value for our stockholders, while also exhibiting strong compensation governance
practices. Accordingly, we:
• Incorporate restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options in our equity
mix to align the equity compensation realized by our NEOs with the performance of the Company;
• Have stock ownership requirements for all executive officers;
• Maintain a “double-trigger” change-in-control plan (with no tax gross-up);
• Do not have executive employment contracts (other than as required by the local jurisdiction); and
• Regularly solicit feedback from our largest stockholders on our executive compensation programs.
