Performance Criteria for Fiscal 2006 Short-Term Incentive Compensation
The Company’s short-term incentive compensation consists of an objective incentive compensation component based upon annual financial targets tied to business unit or overall corporate results (the “Financial STI Component”) and a discretionary incentive compensation component based on the achieving pre-established individual or strategic objectives (the “Discretionary STI Component”). The Financial STI Component will constitute 80% of targeted short-term incentive compensation for fiscal year 2006, with the Discretionary STI Component constituting the remaining 20% of targeted short-term incentive compensation.
Fiscal year 2006 performance criteria under the Financial STI Component will vary among business segments, but generally will consist of the following: (i) the degree to which the Company attains targeted year-over-year growth in diluted earnings per share; (ii) year-over-year growth in retail tax services clients; (iii) year-over-year reduction in mortgage origination costs as a percentage of mortgage origination volume; (iv) year-over-year increase in mortgage origination volume; (v) year-over-year increase in business segment pre-tax earnings; and (vi) business segment year-over-year growth. Under the Financial STI Component, participants 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.
Payments under the Discretionary STI Component for fiscal year 2006 will be based upon achievement of strategic and individual performance objectives that support the Company’s priorities. Actual incentive payouts under the Discretionary Objective STI Component could be from 0% to 200% of the target award.
