Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
The committee has designed our executive compensation program to serve several key objectives: attract and retain superior executive talent in key positions, with compensation opportunities that are market competitive by generally setting target levels of annual total direct compensation opportunity for the NEOs at or near the 50th percentile of target total compensation for similarly-situated executives at an identified group of peer companies that are viewed as similar to us; reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals; and align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders by placing a significant portion of annual total direct compensation at risk, and rewarding performance that exceeds that of our peer companies, through the use of equity-based LTI awards and a share ownership and retention policy, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value over time.
