Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The Company's compensation program is designed to attract and retain highly qualified individuals, reward performance in a manner that maximizes corporate performance, and align individual executives' long-term interests with the Company's strategic objectives and shareholder value. The guiding principle is that executive compensation should be based primarily on the financial and strategic performance of Lakeland and partially on individual performance, while avoiding the encouragement of unnecessary or excessive risks.
