P&O COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
OVERVIEW OF COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND PROGRAM
* *The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to:
* * * Support the Company's business goals of fostering profitable growth and
* * * increasing shareholder value.
* * * Align the interests of executives and stockholders through the use of
* * * stock-based compensation plans.
* * * Attract, retain and motivate high-caliber executives.
* * * Pay for performance by linking compensation to achievement of established
* * * goals and objectives.
* * * Pay competitively with other leading consumer products and industrial
* * * companies.
* *The P&O Committee, which is made up entirely of non-employee directors,
oversees the Company's compensation practices. It reviews and recommends the
compensation of Reuben Mark, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, subject
to the approval of the other non-employee directors of the Board. In addition,
the P&O Committee reviews and approves, and the Board ratifies, the compensation
of the other executive officers of the Company.

2001 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
* *The P&O Committee reviews and recommends the compensation of Reuben Mark,
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to the approval
of the directors of the Company other than Mr. Mark, all of whom are
non-employee directors.
*SALARY
* *As discussed in the 'Base Salary' section above, the midpoint of the salary
range for executive officers is set at the median of the Comparison Group, with
salaries above the median available to exceptional performers and key
contributors to the success of the Company. In setting Mr. Mark's base salary
for 2001, the P&O Committee considered the following key factors: the Company's
pre-established guidelines for determining salary increases, the Company's
success in exceeding its sales and profit goals in 2000, the salaries of other
CEOs in the Comparison Group and Mr. Mark's individual performance and
contributions to the continuing success and increased value of the Company.
During 2001, the P&O Committee increased Mr. Mark's annual salary by 10.3%. Mr.
Mark's salary is above the median of the Comparison Group.
*ANNUAL CASH BONUS
* *As discussed above in the 'Annual Performance-Based Incentives -- Cash
Bonus' section, the Chief Executive Officer's annual EICP cash bonus, like that
of the other Designated Executives, is payable based upon the successful
attainment of specific performance measures established in advance by the P&O
Committee, subject to the P&O Committee's discretion to adjust the award
downward. During 2001, the Company exceeded its earnings-per-share goal. In
addition, the Company's earnings-per-share growth relative to the peer group
qualified Mr. Mark, along with the other Designated Executives, for a
supplemental award. The award generated by the formula exceeded the limit of two
times target plus the supplemental award. Therefore, the Board reduced the
calculated award from $3,569,691 to $3,475,191, an amount within the formula
limit. This represents a 10.7% increase from the prior year. Total cash awards
for the Chief Executive Officer and all executive officers as a group exceeded
median bonus levels of the Comparison Group.
*RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD
* *Mr. Mark is also eligible for restricted stock awards under the Company's
Long-Term Global Growth Program described above. Mr. Mark's target award
opportunity under this program is established in shares of Common Stock rather
than cash. For the measurement period 1999
through 2001, it was 97,200 shares. As discussed above, the P&O Committee
granted restricted stock awards to Designated Executives and executive officers
under the Long-Term Global Growth Program for 2001 based on sales and
earnings-per-share growth over the 1999 through 2001 measurement period. Mr.
Mark was granted 113,328 shares of restricted stock for the 1999 through 2001
measurement period. The Chief Executive Officer and all executive officers as a
group received an award above target based on a pre-established formula relating
sales and earnings-per-share growth to target.
*STOCK OPTIONS
* *Mr. Mark did not receive a stock option grant in 2001.
CONCLUSION
* *In summary, the P&O Committee believes that executive performance
significantly influences Company performance. Therefore the P&O Committee's
approach to executive compensation is guided by the principle that executives
should have the potential for increased earnings when performance objectives are
exceeded, provided that there is appropriate downside risk if performance
targets are not met.
* *The foregoing report has been furnished by Mrs. Conway (Chair) and Messrs.
Ferguson, Johnson, Kogan and Lewis.
---------------------
Die P&O Mitglieder Mrs. Conway und Messrs. Ferguson, Johnson, Kogan und Lewis (das sind Aufsichtsräte) erbringen den Report.
Alles unterliegt bestimmten Regulierungen, die du alle aus dem Proxy Statement lesen kannst.
Sind das Management und die Aufsichtsräte vertrauenswürdig, werden sie sich im großen und ganzen an die Regeln halten.
Andererseits ist es einfach, die Regeln, ohne groß dagegen zu verstoßen, zu Gunsten des Managements auszulegen.
Und sicher sitzen sie alle im gleichen Boot. Man wird sich gegenseitig keine Steine in den Weg legen.
Deswegen ist für mich ein Management wichtig, das eine bestimmte Wertvorstellung von der Gesellschaft und vom Leben hat. Dieses Management dürfte nicht so sehr sein Ziel in der eigenen Bereicherung sehen.
<@Stock Options, da sie ja allgemein üblich sind und waren, akzeptiere ich bis zu einem bestimmten Umfang.
Bis zu welchem Umfang?>
Ja, ist auch nicht so einfach genau festzulegen. David Marino-Nachison sieht die Grenze bei 3% (bei kleinen Unternehmen bis 500 Mio Umsatz bis zu 5%)
Grüße
flippi
