Compensation Committee Report The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was responsible for reviewing and approving the Company's compensation policies and the compensation paid to executive officers. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Noll, who comprise the Compensation Committee are employee and non-employee directors respectively. Compensation Philosophy The general philosophy of the Company's compensation program, which has been reviewed and endorsed by the Committee, was to provide overall competitive compensation based on each executive's individual performance and the Company's overall performance. There are two basic components in the Company's executive compensation program: (i) base salary and (ii) stock option awards. Base Salary Executive Officers' salaries are targeted at the median range for rates paid by competitors in comparably sized companies. The Company recognizes the need to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated executives through a competitive base salary program, while at the same time considering the overall performance of the Company and returns to stockholders. Stock Option Awards With respect to executive officers, stock options are generally granted on an annual basis, usually at the commencement of the new fiscal year. Generally, stock options vest ratably over a four-year period and the executive must be employed by the Company in order to vest the options. The Compensation Committee believes that the stock option grants provide an incentive that focuses the executives' attention on managing the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. The option grants are issued at no less than 85% of the market price of the stock at the date of grant, hence there is incentive on the executive's part to enhance the value of the stock through the overall performance of the Company. |
