Summary

Parker-Hannifin Corporation has established a 2003 Target Incentive Bonus Plan for its executive officers and Group Presidents. The plan awards bonuses based on the company's performance, specifically its pre-tax return on average assets (ROAA) for fiscal year 2003. Bonus payouts can range from 15% to 150% of a participant's target award, depending on how closely the company meets its planned ROAA of 8.0%. If a payout would cause an executive's compensation to exceed the $1 million tax-deductible limit, the excess will be deferred to a later year.
