Remuneration in summary
This section provides a summary of key remuneration arrangements for our executive directors. More detail of how these were operated during
the year ended 31 March 2012, and are intended to be operated in future, is provided later in this report.
Summary of proposed remuneration arrangements for the year ending 31 March 2013
The Committee reviews remuneration arrangements annually to ensure they remain suitable in the light of both internal and external factors.
This year, the Committee concluded that the key elements of the existing arrangements remained aligned with the core principles of Experians
remuneration policy and long-term business strategy and therefore no changes to the overall structure of the remuneration package were
required. The Committee agreed the following key changes for the year ending 31 March 2013:
Salaries have been increased in line with salaries for the wider employee population; and
Performance targets have been reviewed by the Committee and as a result the cumulative cash flow target which applies to the
Co-investment Plan has increased. The Committee considered that the other long-term targets remain appropriate.
