Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
The Company's executive compensation program reflects a performance-driven compensation philosophy and generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance. The Company does not specifically align its performance measures with 'compensation actually paid' for a particular year, nor does it use financial performance measures to link compensation to NEOs as a smaller reporting company.
