Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The executive compensation program is designed to motivate, reward, attract, and retain high-caliber management by aligning executive compensation with short-term and long-term objectives, financial performance, and stockholder priorities. The program emphasizes variable compensation, ensuring a meaningful portion of total direct compensation is 'at-risk' and contingent on performance to drive company growth and stockholder value.
