Each executive has individual
performance goals for the fiscal year. The Compensation
Committee reviews the performance goals and expectations for individual
executive positions. Based on recommendations from the
Executive Chairman and the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the
performance achievement of these goals, the Compensation Committee
determines the resulting bonus and/or changes to salary components for the
executive officers. The Executive Chairman also recommends
individual performance objectives for himself for each fiscal
year. The Compensation Committee approves the performance
objectives of the Executive Chairman and evaluates the Executive
Chairman’s performance measured against these objectives and evaluates and
formulates any potential changes in compensation
accordingly.
|
|
2)
|
The Company’s performance is
compared against the goals for the fiscal
year. Strategic, high level performance expectations are
identified each fiscal year for the Company. The Executive
Chairman provides documentation to the Compensation Committee regarding
the expectations and corresponding results of
operations.
|
|
3)
|
The level of compensation for
executives in similar positions for companies of similar size and
development structure is considered in determining
executive compensation. To enable the Company to
continue to attract and retain executives in the competitive marketplace,
executive compensation for similar companies is reviewed. The
Company typically obtains this data through a review of publicly available
executive compensation information for comparable public
companies.
