Performance Criteria for Fiscal 2007 Short-Term Incentive Compensation
The Company’s short-term incentive compensation is based upon annual financial targets tied to business unit or overall corporate results. Fiscal year 2007 performance criteria will vary among business segments, but generally will consist of the following: (i) diluted earnings per share growth; (ii) business segment pre-tax earnings growth; (iii) revenue unit growth; and (iv) improved cost-of-service performance. Participants in the Company’s short-term incentive programs can earn more or less than the target award (from 0% to 200% of the target award) depending upon how actual results compare to the pre-established performance targets.
