In addition, our 2012 pay decisions were in line with changes in our stock price, measured both on an annual and three-year basis.
Our one-year and three-year total stockholder return results, measured as of the end of 2012, were 22% and 63%, respectively. As
the chart below indicates, a comparison of the compensation that we have reported in the Summary Compensation Table since 2009
for Mr. van Paasschen has moved in tandem with our annual total stockholder return over the past four years:

We believe that this chart demonstrates that we have effectively
operated an executive compensation program that has closely
linked CEO pay changes to the stock price results experienced
by our stockholders under Mr. van Paasschen’s leadership. For
purposes of this chart, total stockholder return includes the
reinvestment of dividends and is calculated on a compounded
annual growth rate basis.
Our analysis of our recent results, stock price performance and
trends in CEO pay demonstrate to us that our CEO pay decisions
in both 2012 and in recent years are closely aligned with Company
performance, and refl ect a balanced and responsible approach
to executive compensation.
Compensation Best Practices
For 2012, we engaged in the following pay practices, which we
believe align with market best practices, with respect to our named
executive offi cer compensation program:
All Incentive Awards Subject to Clawback—all incentive
awards received by any senior vice president or more senior
offi cer, including our named executive offi cers, remain subject to
a clawback policy that mandates repayment in certain instances
where there is a restatement of our fi nancial statements.
No Hedging Activities Linked to Company Stock — our offi cers
and directors, including our named executive of cers, were
required to refrain from engaging in any hedging or monetization
transaction directly linked to company stock.
