Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
The Compensation Committee has designed a program that generally reflects four key overarching executive compensation principles: (1) A significant portion of compensation opportunities should be at risk. (2) Long-term performance incentives should generally outweigh short-term performance incentives. (3) Executive officers should be aligned with our stockholders through equity-based compensation. (4) The compensation structure should enable the Company to attract, retain, motivate and reward the best talent in a competitive industry.
