Elements of Director Compensation
Compensation for Non-Employee Directors during fiscal year 2013 generally consisted of annual
retainers and annual share-based awards. The Compensation Committee, consisting solely of independent
directors, has the primary responsibility for reviewing and considering any revisions to Non-Employee
Director compensation, and recommending any such revisions to the Board for review. The Compensation
Committee periodically reviews Non-Employee Director compensation. In such review, the Compensation
Committee may review and consider data regarding the competitiveness of the Company’s Non-Employee
Director compensation program relative to the Company’s peer companies and general industry trends,
which data may be compiled by the Company’s management and/or with the assistance of a compensation
consultant. The Board reviews the Compensation Committee’s recommendations and determines the
amount of director compensation.
