Symantec has adopted a policy that executive officers and members of the Board hold an equity stake in the
Company. The policy requires each executive officer to hold a minimum number of shares of Symantec common
stock. Newly appointed executive officers are not required to immediately establish their position, but are expected
to make regular progress to achieve it. The Compensation Committee reviews the minimum number of shares held
by the executive officers and directors from time to time. The purpose of the policy is to more directly align the
interests of our executive officers and directors with our stockholders. See “Stock Ownership Requirements” under
Compensation Discussion & Analysis for a description of the stock ownership requirements applicable to our
executive officers.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16 of the Exchange Act requires Symantec’s directors, executive officers and any persons who own
more than 10% of Symantec’s common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in
ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish Symantec with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms furnished to Symantec and written representations from
the directors and executive officers, Symantec believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were met in fiscal
year 2009, except that one Form 4 reflecting a disposition of 4,000 shares by Gregory W. Hughes was filed late.
