Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
Our executive compensation program seeks to attract and retain talented, qualified senior executive officers and to motivate them to pursue and achieve our corporate objectives by aligning pay with creating stockholder value. The program reflects a mix of cash and equity elements to focus executive officers on both short-term results and long-term success, with a majority of compensation being performance-based and 'at-risk.'

Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named SWI in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
