Significant Majority of Executive Officer Pay Tied to Performance
Our annual compensation program has three primary elements: base salary, annual cash performance-
based incentives and long-term equity performance-based incentives. As the graph below shows, the
performance-based incentives constitute by far the largest portion of target compensation for our NEOs:
