Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent, reward achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to enhancement of stockholder value, and align executives' interests with those of stockholders through long-term incentives. A significant portion of target total direct compensation is structured as 'at-risk' pay tied to company performance and stockholder returns.
