CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
We are authorized by our Bylaws to maintain a Board of Directors comprised of a minimum of
three directors and no more than nine directors. Our Board currently consists of five directors,
three of whom, Messrs. Norton, Patterson and Cowan, are independent as defined under rules
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Nasdaq Stock Market. In
accordance with the independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, a director must be
determined to have no personal, professional, familial or other relationship with the Company other
than as a director. Our directors are elected for three year terms, or until an earlier
resignation, death or removal. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or
officers.
Board of Directors and Board Committees
The Board of Directors held four regularly scheduled meetings during the last full fiscal year
and three special meetings. No director attended less than 75% of the aggregate of such meetings
and meetings held by committees of the Board on which he served. We do not have a formal policy
regarding attendance by members of the Board of Directors at our annual meeting of stockholders,
but strongly encourage directors to attend all meetings. All members of our Board of Directors
attended the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The standing committees of the Board are as follows: Audit Committee (established in
accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act), Nominating and Governance Committee, and
Compensation Committee. The Board has adopted a charter for its Audit Committee and its Nominating
and Governance Committee, which are available on our website at www.meadowvalley.com by following
the link Investor Information. The Compensation Committee is not operating under a written
charter. Stockholders may also receive a free copy of the committee charters by sending a written
request to 4602 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85018, Attention: Secretary, or calling (602)
437-5400.
In November 2007, the Board established the Special Committee comprised of the Companys
independent directors. The committee was created based upon the disclosure that a management
backed group was and currently is exploring the possibility of tendering an offer to purchase the
Companys common stock. The Special Committee is reviewing the Companys strategic alternatives
and how its strategic alternatives maximize stockholder value. The Special Committee will also
evaluate any acquisition proposals that may be received as a result of this process or as a result
of any management backed acquisition proposal or any other third party proposal.
Members of the Companys Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance
Committee and Special Committee are footnoted below.

The Audit Committee
Our Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Patterson, Cowan and Norton. Mr. Patterson is our
Audit Committee Chairman and has been determined by the Board to be a financial expert as defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Board and as independent is
defined under current standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, these directors are independent of
management and free of any relationship that would interfere with their exercise of independent
judgment as a member of this committee. The Audit Committee reviews in detail and recommends
approval by the Board of our annual and quarterly financial statements, recommends approval of the
remuneration of our auditors to the Board, reviews the scope of the audit procedures and the final
audit report prepared by our auditors and reviews our overall accounting practices, procedures and
internal controls with our auditors. The committee met four times during fiscal 2007.
The Nominating and Governance Committee
The Nominating and Governance Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Cowan, Norton and
Patterson, our independent directors. Mr. Cowan is our Nominating and Governance Committee
Chairman. The committee met four times during fiscal 2007. The purpose of the Nominating and
Governance Committee is as follows:
|
|
|
identify, consider and nominate candidates for membership on the Board, including
any nominees properly received by the Secretary of the Corporation from any
stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
develop, recommend and evaluate corporate governance guidelines and a code of
business conduct and ethics applicable to the Company; |
|
|
|
|
make recommendations regarding the structure and composition of the Board and Board
committees; and |
|
|
|
|
advise the Board on corporate governance matters. |
All members of our Nominating and Governance Committee are independent, as defined under
applicable law and the listing standards for companies traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Nominations of candidates for election as directors may be made by the Board upon recommendation by
the Nominating and Governance Committee, or by stockholders. Stockholders may nominate candidates
for election as directors if they follow the procedures and conform to the deadlines specified in
our Bylaws. For more information, see the disclosure in our Proxy Statement for our 2008 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders under the caption Stockholder Proposals for the 2009 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, which will be filed with the SEC and mailed to our stockholders once a meeting date
has been established.
In evaluating the suitability of potential nominees for membership on the Board, the
Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the Boards current composition, including
expertise, diversity, and balance of inside, outside and independent directors, and consider the
general qualifications of the potential nominees, such as:
|
|
|
Unquestionable integrity and honesty; |
|
|
|
|
The ability to exercise sound, mature and independent business judgment in the best
interests of the stockholders as a whole; |
|
|
|
|
Recognized leadership in business or professional activity; |
|
|
|
|
A background and experience that will complement the talents of the other Board
members; |
|
|
|
|
Willingness and capability to take the time to actively participate in Board and
Committee meetings and related activities; |
|
|
|
|
Ability to work professionally and effectively with other Board members and the
Companys management; |
|
|
|
|
An age to enable the director to remain on the Board long enough to make an
effective contribution; and |
|
|
|
|
Lack of realistic possibilities of conflict of interest or legal prohibition. |
The Nominating and Governance Committee will also see that all necessary and appropriate
inquiries are made into the backgrounds of such candidates. Other than the foregoing, there are no
stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Nominating and Governance Committee may
also consider such other factors as it may deem to be in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders.
The Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Patterson, Cowan and Norton. Mr. Norton is our
Compensation Committee Chairman. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to determine the
compensation to be paid to the Companys executive officers, and to approve any incentive
compensation plans. The Compensation Committee will recommend approval to the Board of the
compensation of our executive officers, the annual compensation budget for all other employees,
bonuses, grants of stock options and any changes to our benefit plans. The committee met four times
during fiscal 2007.
Stockholder Communications with Directors
Stockholders may communicate with any and all members of the Companys Board of Directors by
transmitting correspondence by mail or facsimile addressed to one or more directors by name or, for
a communication to the entire Board, to the President at the following address and fax number:
Meadow Valley Corporation, 4602 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85018; main, (602) 437-5400;
facsimile, (602) 437-1681.
Communications from our stockholders to one or more directors will be collected and organized
by our Corporate Secretary under procedures adopted by our independent directors. The Corporate
Secretary will forward all communications to the President or to the identified director(s) as soon
as practicable, although communications that are abusive, in bad taste or that present safety or
security concerns may be handled differently. If multiple communications are received on a similar
topic, the Corporate Secretary may, in his direction, forward only representative correspondence.
The President will determine whether any communication addressed to the entire Board of
Directors should be properly addressed by the entire Board of Directors or a committee thereof. If
a communication is sent to the Board of Directors or a committee, the Chairman of the Board or the
chairman of that committee, as the case may be, will determine whether a response to the
communication is warranted. If a response to the communication is warranted, the content and method
of the response may be coordinated with our counsel.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our senior management and directors.
Our Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.meadowvalley.com by following the links
Investor Information Code of Ethics. Stockholders may also receive a free copy of this
document by sending a written request to 4602 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85018, Attention:
Secretary, or calling (602) 437-5400. Amendments to and waivers, if any, from our Code of Ethics
will also be disclosed on our website.
In addition, in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the listing standards of
the Nasdaq Capital Market, we have adopted procedures to facilitate the submission, on a
confidential and anonymous basis, of complaints, reports and concerns by any person regarding
(1) accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, (2) actual or potential
violations of laws, rules or regulations, and (3) other suspected wrongdoing, including in
connection with our Code of Ethics.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive
officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of change in their
ownership of our common stock. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations require our
directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders to furnish us with copies of these
reports. Based solely upon a review of such reports and related information furnished to us, we
believe that, during the 2007 fiscal year, each person who served as a director or executive
officer of our company or held more than 10% of our common stock complied with the Section 16(a)
filing requirements.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We use a combination of cash and long-term equity incentive awards to compensate members of
our Board of Directors. The following table provides information regarding compensation earned in
2007 by each individual who served as a non-employee member of our Board of Directors in 2007.

|
Directors receive $15,000 per year for being a member of the Board of Directors and

the awards granted in 2007. Therefore, the values shown here are not representative of the amounts
that may eventually be realized by a director. Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, we have provided a grant date fair value for stock awards in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-based Payments.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview of Executive Compensation Program
The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for assisting the Board in defining and
overseeing the Companys general compensation practices. During fiscal 2007, the Compensation
Committee finalized the executive compensation package, based on the recommendation from FMI
Management Consulting (FMI).
The persons who served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during 2007,
as well as other individuals named in our Summary Compensation Table for 2007, are referred to as
the named executive officers throughout this section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Executive Summary
As discussed in more detail below, the following actions concerning the compensation of the
Companys named executive officers were taken for fiscal 2007:
|
|
|
Alan Terril resigned as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. |
|
|
|
|
Bradley E. Larson, Kenneth D. Nelson, David D. Doty, Robert Bottcher and Robert Terril
received a salary increase during fiscal 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Bradley E. Larson, Kenneth D. Nelson, David D. Doty, Robert Bottcher and Robert Terril
received incentives pursuant to the Companys Non-Equity Incentive Plan (the Incentive
Plan). |
|
|
|
|
Robert Bottcher, Arizona Area President of Meadow Valley Contractors, Inc, and Robert
Terril, Nevada Area President of Meadow Valley Contractors, Inc., were included as named
executive officers for 2007. |
Oversight of Executive Compensation Program and Role of Executive Officers in Compensation
Decisions
While the Compensation Committee approves all aspects of our executive compensation program,
it reports to the full Board of Directors on a regular basis and seeks approval for certain
actions. The Committee coordinates with its consultants and management to obtain marketplace and
internal data analyses, project reports and program recommendations to assist the Compensation
Committee in making executive compensation decisions. Our Chief Executive Officer and, in some
cases, other executive officers make recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to
various elements of executive compensation.
Compensation Objectives and Philosophy
The Companys primary objectives when determining compensation for its named executive
officers are to:
|
|
|
set levels of annual salary, non-equity incentives and equity compensation that are
competitive and that will attract and retain superior executives, taking into account
the difficult industry conditions and competitive environment that the Company faces, |
|
|
|
|
incorporate a performance-based component to executive compensation by linking the
incentive compensation to the Companys financial and operational performance, and |
|
|
|
|
provide long-term equity-based compensation, thereby further aligning the interests
of the Companys executives with those of its other stockholders. |
|
These objectives are designed to reward each executives (1) past individual performance and
contribution to the Companys corporate performance, (2) level and scope of responsibility and
experience, and (3) ability to influence the Companys future growth and profitability.
Components of 2007 Executive Compensation
Our executive compensation has three main parts: a salary paid in cash, an annual non-equity
cash incentive plan, in which payment is contingent on the financial performance of the Company,
and a long-term equity incentive that the Company provides through the award of options to purchase
the Companys common stock. The salary component is intended to reward executives for their
current, day-to-day work. The cash incentive bonus is intended to be a reward for the executives
contribution to the financial success of the Company in a given year. Awards of equity are intended
to create longer-term incentive for the executive to remain with the Company since the benefit is
realized, if the Company is successful, over a multi-year period similar to our stockholders.
Annual Salary
Because an executives annual salary is meant to reflect his value to the Company on a
day-to-day basis, it is a fixed, predetermined element of his compensation. When the Compensation
Committee reviews the level of an executives salary for a possible increase at the end of the term
of his employment agreement or on an annual basis if no employment agreement is in place, that
review is based on two main factors: his prior salary and the salary range of executives in
comparable companies at a comparable level of responsibility. The Compensation Committee members
take an executives prior salary into account because they believe that it reflects the assessment
of prior boards and/or compensation committees of the executives value to the Company.
Compensation levels of comparable companies are obtained from industry trade publications,
management consulting firms such as FMI and other public companies similar to our size and
industry. In addition, the Compensation Committee provides its knowledge of construction industry
compensation levels gained in the course of the work each independent director performs in their
daily business activity.
Non-Equity Incentive Plan
Previously, the amount of cash incentive executive management could earn was derived from a
formula principally based upon the Companys income before income taxes. For the 2007 fiscal year,
the amount of executive management cash incentive payable in 2008 was derived from a formula
principally based upon the Companys return on net assets. The Compensation Committee established
a minimum return on net assets of 7.4% in order for non-equity incentive compensation to be paid in
2008. The Compensation Committee adopted 7.4% as a minimum return on net assets based upon the
results of the compensation review and analysis performed by FMI and the Companys own analysis of
its weighted average cost of capital, industry comparisons, growth rates and market conditions the
Company is experiencing.
The measurement of the return on net assets for each of the four profit centers eligible for
non-equity cash incentive (Area) is the adjusted income from operations for the Area divided by
one fourth of the Companys net assets. The Companys net assets are its total assets less current
liabilities, long-term debt and deferred income taxes. Income from operations from each Area is
determined and then corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to all Areas. The
resulting adjusted Area operating income is subtracted from the calculated minimum adjusted Area
operating income derived from the minimum return of 7.4%. The resulting difference, if any, is
aggregated into a combined total and 30% of this excess adjusted Area operating income, net of
corporate general and administrative expenses, is determined for possible bonus payout. The 30%
allocation of this excess combined adjusted Area operating income to create an incentive bonus pool
was established and approved by the Compensation Committee.
Of the amount allocated to the bonus pool, the Compensation Committee established that 60% be
allocated to Area incentive bonus, 30% be allocated to corporate bonus and the remaining 10% be
allocated for a discretionary pool. Amounts in the Area pool and the corporate pool are
distributed pro-rata by each individuals annual salary within the respective pools to participants
until amounts in the respective pools are exhausted or until amounts distributed individually reach
the participants maximum cap determined by a percent of the participants annual salary. These
maximum allocations of annual salary vary by position and are reviewed and approved annually by the
Compensation Committee.
Maximum non-equity incentive compensation amounts for the following named executives are
expressed as a percentage of their respective annual salaries:

The Compensation Committee authorizes the payment of incentive amounts and, if applicable,
makes any decisions on discretionary amounts, when the results for the year in question are known,
typically in late February or early March of the following year. Incentive amounts for 2007 were
approved in March 2008. The Summary Compensation Table for 2007, below, shows the total 2007 cash
incentive amounts of each named executive officer.
Equity Incentive Plan
The award of an option to buy the Companys common stock is a long-term element of
compensation since on the date of the award, the exercise price, or purchase price, of the shares
subject to the option is the same as the price of those shares on the open market. The recipient of
a stock option will only realize its value if the market price of the shares increases over the
life of the option, the award gives the executive an incentive to remain with the Company and
aligns his interests with those of our stockholders.
The Company calculates the value of a stock option award on the date of its grant under
accounting requirements that involve the use of a complex formula consisting of estimates about the
Company, its stock price and the likelihood of the option holder forfeiting the stock option. The
dollar amount shown in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007, below, for stock option awards is
the value of the options computed under FAS 123R.
In determining the size of a stock option award, the Compensation Committee takes into account
both the value of the award to the recipient and the corresponding accounting cost to the Company.
Other Compensation
The only other forms of compensation of the executive officers are the personal use of Company
vehicles, disability and term life insurance and other benefits made available to all salaried
employees and the perquisites shown in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007, below, in the
column labeled All Other Compensation. A detailed description of the perquisites is shown in
footnote 3 to the table. The payment of Messrs. Larson, Nelson, Bottcher and Terrils term life
insurance premiums is a benefit that has been provided to them by the Company for many years and
was established when the Company determined to carry a key officer life policy on each of the
executives in the same amounts as the policy provided each officer. This benefit is also applicable
to Mr. Doty, however, no amounts were paid in 2007 for term life insurance on his behalf.
Overall Compensation Levels
As with salary, the Company attempts to provide its executives with a total compensation
package that is comparable to their peers in the industry and that the members of the Compensation
Committee believe in their personal judgment and based on their business experience is fair and
appropriate for the executives level of responsibility and contribution to the Company. The
Compensation Committee, which consists of only our independent members of the Board of Directors,
makes the final determination of the compensation of the named executive officers. However, the
Committee discusses their compensation recommendations for each executive officer with the Chief
Executive Officer in advance of making a decision.
Employment Agreements
Messrs. Larson, Doty, Nelson, Bottcher and R. Terril currently are employed by the Company
through employment agreements. In November 2006, the Company entered into two-year employment
agreements with Messrs. Bottcher and Terril and three-year employment agreements with Messrs.
Larson, Doty and Nelson, of which Messrs. Larsons and Nelsons employment agreements were renewed
in November 2007 for three years, providing for an annual base salary. These individuals are also
eligible to receive incentive amounts based upon performance as determined by our Compensation
Committee and approved by our Board of Directors. In the event the Company terminates any of these
individuals without cause (as defined in the agreements) or the Company is the subject of a change
of control (as defined in the agreements), all options granted to the individuals under their
employment agreements will vest and the Company will be required to pay compensation to these
individuals for the remaining terms of their agreements.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
Employment Agreement and Compensation Elements
Mr. Larsons 2007 compensation was determined according to the above compensation components
pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion
and Analysis with management. Based on our review and discussions with management, we have
recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this
Amendment No. 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and
the Proxy Statement for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Submitted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors:
Charles R. Norton Don A. Patterson Charles E. Cowan
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that
incorporates future filings, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in whole or in part, the
foregoing Compensation Committee Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any such
filings.
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently adopted enhanced executive compensation
disclosure requirements for public companies. As a result, the following disclosure regarding the
compensation of our executive officers and directors will be somewhat different in content and
format from previous years.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation Committee currently consists of the following three members of the Board of
Directors: Messrs. Cowan, Norton and Patterson. No member of the Compensation Committee was at any
time during the Companys 2007 fiscal year, or at any other time, an officer or employee of the
Company.
No executive officer of the Company has served on the compensation committee of any other
entity that has, or has had, one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Companys
Board of Directors.
Three of our independent Directors, Messrs. Cowan, Norton and Patterson, are also members of
the Board of Directors of the Companys majority owned subsidiary, Ready Mix, Inc.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table provides information regarding the total compensation earned in 2007 and
2006 by the named executive officers, which include the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Chief Administrative Officer and Area Presidents of the Companys wholly owned subsidiary,
Meadow Valley Contractors, Inc., who are the only other executive officers whose compensation for
2007 exceeded $100,000, or would have exceeded $100,000 if they had been employed by the Company or
its subsidiary at the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The named executive officers
who also serve on the Board of Directors are not compensated for their services rendered to the
Board of Directors. The Company pays compensation to these executive officers according to the
terms of their employment agreements or as determined by the Compensation Committee when no
employment agreement is in place. The amounts include any compensation that was deferred by the
executive through contributions to his defined contribution plan account under Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code. All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar.

This column represents the aggregate dollar amount of the awards granted in each
respective year. Therefore, the values shown here are not representative of the amounts that may
eventually be realized by an executive. Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, we have provided a grant date fair value for option awards in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-based Payments. For
option awards, the fair value is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model, which requires the use of certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest
rate, dividend yield, volatility and expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the
yield at the date of grant of a U.S. Treasury security with a maturity period equal to or
approximating the options expected term. The dividend yield assumption is based on our historical
dividend payouts, which is zero. The volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility
of our common stock over a period equal to the options expected term or trading stocks trading
history which ever is |
|
|
|
|
|
shorter. The expected term of options granted is based on expectations about
future exercises and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be
outstanding. |

The non-equity incentive plan payments for 2007 and 2006 were made on March 7, 2008 and March
9, 2007, respectively. See discussion of non-equity incentive plans under the heading
Compensation Discussion and Analysis above. None of the named executive officers elected to
defer their 2007 or 2006 non-equity incentive plan payments. |

The amounts shown include Company-paid life insurance premiums, defined contribution plan
payments, personal use of Company vehicles and Company-paid portion of health insurance for the
fiscal years ended 2007 and 2006. The following table identifies the separate amounts attributable

Retirement Plans
Pension Benefits
During the fiscal year 2007 we did not have a pension benefit plan. We do not intend on
implementing a pension plan in the near future.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
During the fiscal year 2007 we did not have a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. We do
not intend on implementing a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in the near future.
Equity Incentive Plans
Meadow Valley Corporation Equity Incentive Plan:
In 2005, the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (2004 Plan) was ratified by the stockholders. The
2004 Plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: (1) incentive and
nonqualified stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) stock awards, restricted stock and
stock units, and (4) other stock or cash-based awards. In connection with any award or any deferred
award, payments may also be made representing dividends or their equivalent.
The 2004 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock, all of which
were previously reserved for issuance under the Companys prior plan. Shares of common stock
covered by an award granted under the 2004 Plan will not be counted as used unless and until they
are actually issued and delivered to a participant. Shares relating to awards granted under the
2004 Plan that are forfeited, settled for cash or otherwise terminated and shares withheld by or
tendered to the Company in connection with the exercise of an option or other award granted under
the 2004 Plan or in connection with the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations relating to
awards or exercises of options or other awards are available for grant under the 2004 Plan. Awards
made or adjusted to assume or convert awards in connection with acquisition transactions will not
reduce the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2004 Plan. The shares of stock
deliverable under the 2004 Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares. The plan
administrator may adjust the aggregate number of shares or the awards under the plan in the event
of a change affecting shares of common stock, such as stock dividends, recapitalization,
reorganization or mergers.
The 2004 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which
was comprised of non-employee directors. The 2004 Plan has no fixed termination date. The
Companys Board of Directors or the committee may generally amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or
terminate all or a portion of the 2004 Plan at any time, as long as the rights of a participant are not materially impaired without
the participants consent, subject to stockholder approval to the extent necessary to comply with
applicable law, stock exchange rule or regulatory requirements or, as determined by the committee,
to qualify with tax requirements.
In 2007, we granted, under the 2004 Plan, an aggregate of 15,000 stock options to independent
directors at an exercise price of $13.88.
We have reserved 1,200,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2004 Plan. As of
December 31, 2007, 150,149 shares were available for future grant under the 2004 Plan. The common
terms of the stock options are from five to ten years and generally, may be exercised after
issuance as follows: 33.3% after one year of continuous service, 66.6% after two years of
continuous service and 100% after three years of continuous service. The exercise price of each
option is no less than the market closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.
The Companys Board of Directors has full discretion to modify these terms.
Ready Mix, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan:
In January 2005, RMI adopted an equity incentive plan, which we refer to as RMIs Plan, which
provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options and
non-statutory stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, together with the grant of bonus stock and stock appreciation rights at the
discretion of RMIs Board of Directors. Incentive stock options are issuable only to RMIs eligible
officers, directors and key employees. Non-statutory stock options are issuable only to RMIs
non-employee directors and consultants.
RMIs Plan is administered by RMIs Compensation Committee. Currently, RMI has 673,000 shares
of common stock reserved for issuance under RMIs Plan. Under RMIs Plan, RMIs Board of Directors
determines which individuals shall receive options, grants or stock appreciation rights, the time
period during which the rights may be exercised, the number of shares of common stock that may be
purchased under the rights and the option price.
With respect to stock options, the per share exercise price of the common stock may not be
less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. No person
who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time of the granting of an incentive stock option, more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of RMIs stock is eligible to receive
incentive stock options under RMIs Plan unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair
market value of RMIs common stock subject to the option on the date of grant. The option price for
non-statutory options is established by RMIs Board and may not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of RMIs common stock subject to the option on the date of grant.
No options may be transferred by an optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and during the lifetime of an optionee, the option may only be exercisable by the
optionee. Options may be exercised only if the option holder remains continuously associated with
RMI from the date of grant to the date of exercise, unless extended under RMIs Plan grant.
Options granted under RMIs Plan expire five years after the date of the option grant and the
exercise date of an option is not longer than five years from the date of grant, but can be shorter
when established by the plan administrator. Any options that expire unexercised or that terminate
upon an optionees ceasing to be employed by us become available once again for issuance. Shares
issued upon exercise of an option rank equally with other shares then outstanding.
Initially, RMI reserved 675,000 shares of common stock for issuance to officers, directors and
employees under RMIs Plan described above. Options will be issued to employees and executive
officers based on the recommendation of RMIs compensation committee of the Board of Directors
according to the following:
|
|
|
employees holding positions of responsibility with RMI whose performance can have a
significant effect on RMIs success; and |
|
|
|
|
non-employee directors. |
Currently, RMI has granted under RMIs Plan an aggregate of 386,125 options to purchase common
stock to officers, directors and employees at an exercise price ranging from $6.40 to $12.85.
Typically, the options are exercisable from the grant date as follows: 33% of the options are
exercisable after one year of continuous service to us, 66% after two years of continuous service and 100% after three years of continuous
service. RMIs Board of Directors has full discretion to use different vesting schedules for each
grant made under RMIs Plan.

Audit Committee Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Service
The Audit Committee has a Pre-approval Policy (Policy) governing the approval of all audit
and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accountants in order to
ensure that the performance of such services does not impair the independent registered public
accountants.
According to the Policy, the Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services
and fees that may be provided by the independent registered public accountants during the following
year. The Policy specifically describes the services and fees related to the annual audit, other
services that are audit-related, preparation of tax returns and tax related compliance services and
all other services that have the pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general
pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically
provides for a different period.
Any service to be provided by the independent registered public accountants that has not
received general pre-approval under the Policy is required to be submitted to the Audit Committee
for approval prior to the commencement of a substantial portion of the engagement. Any proposed
service exceeding pre-approved cost levels is also required to be submitted to the Audit Committee
for specific approval.
The services provided by our independent registered public accountants during the year ended
December 31, 2007 were all pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time
based on subsequent determinations. The Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to
pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accountant to management.
