Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and reward talented executive officers and to motivate them to pursue our corporate objectives, while fostering the creation of long-term value for our stockholders. We take a 'pay-for-performance' approach that forms the foundation for the design of our executive compensation program, ensuring that a significant portion of compensation is 'at risk' based on corporate performance and equity-based to align the interests of our NEOs and stockholders.
