(e) Beginning in fiscal 2009, under the terms of our Equity Incentive Deferral Plan, participants were
permitted to elect to defer up to 50 percent of their short-term cash incentive plan (EIP) award in a given
plan year. The deferred amount of such award will be settled with RSUs granted to the participant. For
detailed information on the Equity Incentive Deferral Plan, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,”
above. For detailed information on fiscal 2012 deferrals, see note (b) to “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in
Fiscal 2012” below.
Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2012
Grants of plan-based awards reflect grants made to our Named Executive Officers under our non-equity
incentive plans and equity compensation plans during fiscal 2012.
The following table includes amounts payable under our short-term cash incentive plan (EIP) for
performance during fiscal 2012. The actual amounts awarded under our short-term cash incentive plan (EIP)
for fiscal 2012 were determined by the Compensation Committee in March 2012 and are reflected in the
“Equity Incentive Deferral Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table and Narrative
Disclosure” above for the amount awarded in RSUs and “Non-Equity Incentive Deferral Plan Compensation”
column of the “Summary Compensation Table and Narrative Disclosure” above for the amount awarded in cash.
As described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” above, our Equity Incentive Deferral Plan permits
participants to elect to defer up to 50 percent of their short-term cash incentive plan (EIP) award in a given plan
year. Any such deferrals are reflected in footnote (b) following the table below, and the resulting RSUs granted
under such deferrals are not reflected in the table below as such grants were made in fiscal 2012.
Amounts included for options granted under the 2008 Employee Stock Plan during fiscal 2012 are not
tied to performance against a specific plan, but have values that are tied to the price of our stock. Options
granted under the 2008 Employee Stock Plan shown in the column entitled “All Other Option Awards” vest
over a four year period at a rate of 25 percent per year. See “Change in Control Arrangements and Employment
Agreements” below for a further description of certain terms relating to these awards. Awards made under our
short-term cash incentive plan (EIP) and the grant-date fair value of awards from our 2008 Employee Stock Plan
are included in the Summary Compensation Table above, and do not constitute additional compensation from
the amounts included in the Summary Compensation Table.
See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for further discussion of the role of plan based and
other awards in our overall executive compensation program.
