Proxy
after the date of Mr. Rhodes’ termination of employment by the Company without cause (as defined in the
award agreement) or due to his death or disability. The Restricted Stock Units were earned November 25, 2013,
when AutoZone’s stock price closed at or above the $461.12 target for the fifth consecutive trading day. The
Restricted Stock Units will vest on October 1, 2015, only if Mr. Rhodes is employed by AutoZone through
October 1, 2015.
Life Insurance
AutoZone provides all salaried employees in active full-time employment in the United States a company-
paid life insurance benefit in the amount of two times annual earnings. “Annual earnings” exclude stock
compensation and gains realized from stock option exercises, but include salary and incentive compensation
received. Additionally, salaried employees are eligible to purchase additional life insurance subject to
insurability above certain amounts. The maximum benefit of the company-paid and the additional coverage
combined is $5,000,000. All of the Named Executive Officers are eligible for this benefit.
Disability Insurance
All full-time officers at the level of vice president and above are eligible to participate in two executive
long-term disability plans. Accordingly, AutoZone purchases individual disability policies for its executive
officers that pay 70% of the first $7,143 of insurable monthly earnings in the event of disability. Additionally,
the executive officers are eligible to receive an executive long-term disability plan benefit in the amount of 70%
of the next $35,714 of insurable monthly earnings to a maximum benefit of $25,000 per month. AutoZone
purchases insurance to cover this plan benefit. These two benefits combined provide a maximum benefit of
$30,000 per month. The benefit payment for these plans may be reduced by deductible sources of income and
disability earnings.
