Ourexecutiveofficercompensationprogramisdesignedtoincreaselong-termstockholdervaluebyattracting,retaining,motivatingandrewarding
leaderswiththecompetence,character,experienceandambitionnecessarytoenabletheCompanytomeetitsgrowthobjectives.
ThoughIACisapubliclytradedcompany,weattempttofosteranentrepreneurialculture,andattractandretainseniorexecutiveswithentrepreneurial
backgrounds,attitudesandaspirations.Accordingly,whenattemptingtorecruitandretainourexecutiveofficers,aswellasotherexecutiveswhomaybecome
executiveofficersatalatertime,wecompetenotonlywithotherpubliccompanies,butalsowithearlierstagecompanies,companiesfundedbyprivateequityand
venturecapitalfirmsandprofessionalfirms.Westructureourcompensationprogramsothatwecancompeteinthisvariedmarketplacefortalent,withanemphasis
onvariable,contingentcompensationandlong-termequityownership.
Whileweconsidermarketdatainestablishingbroadcompensationprogramsandpracticesandmayperiodicallybenchmarkthecompensationassociated
withparticularexecutivepositions,wedonotdefinitivelyrelyoncompetitivesurveydataoranybenchmarkinginformationinestablishingexecutive
compensation.TheCompanymakesdecisionsbasedonahostoffactorsparticulartoagivenexecutive’ssituation,includingitsfirsthandexperiencewiththe
competitionforrecruitingexecutivesanditsunderstandingofthecurrentenvironment,andbelievesthatover-relianceonsurveydata,orabenchmarkingapproach,
istoorigidandstaleforthedynamicandfastchangingmarketplacefortalentinwhichwecompete.
Similarly,webelievethatarithmeticapproachestomeasuringandrewardingshort-termperformanceoftenfailtoadequatelytakeintoaccountthe
multiplefactorsthatcontributetosuccessattheindividualandbusinesslevel.Inanygivenperiod,theCompanymayhavemultipleobjectives,andthese
objectives,andtheirrelativeimportance,oftenchangeasthecompetitiveandstrategiclandscapesshift.Accordingly,wehavehistoricallyavoidedtheuseofstrict
