The following table outlines our objectives for each of the principal components of executive compensation.
Element of Compensation Objective
Base salary Reward individuals’ current contributions to the company
Compensate individuals for their expected day-to-day
performance
Short-term cash incentive awards Align executive compensation with annual and semi-annual
performance
Make a significant portion of the executives yearly cash
compensation variable and subject to the achievement of
company business goals.
Motivate and reward the executive for above-target performance
Long-term equity incentive awards Support retention of the executive
Directly align executive and shareholder interests
Provide a direct incentive for future performance
Pay Mix
In determining how we allocate an executives total compensation package among base salary, short-term
cash incentives and long-term equity incentives, we emphasize compensation elements that reward performance
against measures that correlate closely with increases in shareholder value. Accordingly, a significant portion of our
executive compensation is at-risk, including the short-term cash incentive awards and the majority of our long-term
equity incentive awards. Our CEO and other executive officers have a higher percentage of at-risk compensation
(and thus greater upside potential and downside risk) relative to Logitechs other employees. We believe this is
appropriate because our executive officers have the greatest influence on Logitechs performance.
The charts below indicate the percentage of total compensation costs in fiscal year 2010 represented by
base salary, short-term cash incentives (bonus payments), and long-term equity incentive awards for Guerrino
De Luca, Gerald Quindlen and all other named executive officers. All underlying amounts are taken from the
Summary Compensation Table.
