(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 restricted stock units granted to the participant. For
detailed information on the Equity Incentive Deferral Plan, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—
Equity Grant Policies,” above. For detailed information on fiscal 2011 deferrals, see note (b) to “Grants of
Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2011” below.
Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2011
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 2011.
The following table includes amounts payable under our short-term cash incentive plan (EIP) for
performance during fiscal 2011. The actual amounts awarded under our short-term cash incentive plan (EIP) for
fiscal 2011 were determined by the Compensation Committee in March 2011 and are reflected in the “Equity
Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table and Narrative Disclosure” above
for the amount awarded in restricted stock units and “Non-Equity Incentive 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—Equity Grant Policies,” 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
restricted stock units 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 2011 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.
