Advisory Vote on Our Named Executive Officers’ Compensation (Proposal 3)
For the fifth consecutive year, our shareholders are being asked to cast a non-binding advisory vote on our named executive officers’ compensation. We are gratified that shareholders have overwhelmingly supported our executive compensation program over the last four years, with this proposal receiving the affirmative vote of 98%, 95%, 97% and 96% of votes cast by shareholders at the 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 annual meetings, respectively. In evaluating this proposal, we recommend that you review our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which explains how and why the Human Resources and Nominating Committee arrived at its executive compensation actions and decisions for Fiscal 2014.
Revocation of Proxies
Any proxy may be revoked by the person executing it at any time before the polls close at the annual meeting by filing with the Secretary a written revocation or a duly executed form of proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the annual meeting. The Board of Directors has appointed a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions to act as an independent inspector at the annual meeting.
Record Date, Shares Outstanding and Quorum
Shareholders of record of our common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the close of business on January 9, 2015 (the “Record Date”) may vote on all matters presented at the annual meeting. As of the Record Date, 97,371,112 shares of Common Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote.
A quorum is required to transact business at our annual meeting. Holders of at least a majority of the shares of our Common Stock must be present at the annual meeting in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum. Abstentions, shares for which authority is withheld to vote for director nominees, and broker non-votes (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees regarding proposals for which such broker or nominee lacks discretionary voting authority where the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote have not provided voting instructions) will be considered present for the purpose of establishing a quorum. Once a share is represented at the annual meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes throughout the meeting, including any adjourned meeting, unless a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting.
If less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are present or represented by proxy at the meeting, a majority of the shares that are present or represented by proxy at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

Required Vote
Proposal 1: Election of Directors. In September 2013, the Board of Directors amended our bylaws to adopt a majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections. Under this standard, beginning at the 2014 annual meeting, directors were elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast. A “majority” of votes cast means that the number of votes “for” the election of a director nominee exceed the number of votes “withheld” with respect to such nominee. If an incumbent director in an uncontested election is not elected, he or she would be required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. In the event of a contested election, which is one in which the number of candidates exceed the number of directors to be elected, the individuals receiving the largest number of votes will be elected up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen in the election.
Any shares not voted due to abstention or broker non-vote will not affect the election of directors. If you hold your shares in “street name,” your broker or other nominee will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares if you do not provide instructions as to how your shares should be voted on this proposal.
Proposal 2: Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2015. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock that are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 30, 2015. Any shares present and not voted, whether by abstention or otherwise, will have no effect on the vote to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. If you hold your shares in “street name,” your broker or other nominee will have discretionary authority to vote your shares if you do not provide instructions as to how your shares should be voted on this proposal.
Proposal 3: Advisory vote on our named executive officers’ compensation. At the 2011 annual meeting, shareholders expressed their preference for conducting annual advisory votes on our named executive officers’ compensation. Consistent with this preference, the Board of Directors determined that such votes will occur annually. This vote permits shareholders to express their approval or disapproval of our executive compensation practices for our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement. Although the outcome of this vote is not binding on us, we will consider the outcome of this vote when developing our compensation policies and practices, and when making compensation decisions in the future. Any shares present and not voted, whether by broker non-vote, abstention, or otherwise, will have no effect on this advisory vote regarding our named executive officers’ compensation. If you hold your shares in “street name,” your broker or other nominee will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares if you do not provide instructions as to how your shares should be voted on this proposal.

PROPOSAL #1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors consists of nine members. All members of the Board of Directors are elected by the holders of Common Stock at each annual meeting. The following table shows certain information, including the principal occupation and recent business experience for each of the nine individuals nominated by the Board of Directors for election at the 2015 annual meeting. All of the nominees are presently directors whose terms expire in 2015 and who are nominated to serve terms ending at the 2016 annual meeting following the election and qualification of their successors.
If an incumbent director nominee receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than “for” in an uncontested election, the director must promptly tender his resignation for consideration by the Human Resources and Nominating Committee and the Board (with the affected director recusing himself from the deliberations). The Board will be free to accept or reject the resignation and will disclose its decision within 90 days of certification of the vote results. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board, or if a new nominee for director is not elected, then the Board may fill the resulting vacancy. If a director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board, the director will continue to serve until the 2016 annual meeting and until the election and qualification of his successor.
The Board of Directors believes that each of its nominees possesses the required qualifications, including the experience, knowledge, education, skills, and character necessary for continued service on the Board of Directors. Through their prior experience on our Board of Directors and in our industry, each nominee is well-versed in our operations, markets and strategy, as well as with the duties and responsibilities of serving as a director of a public company in our industry. In addition, the nominees are familiar with the governance requirements applicable to public companies through experience serving in management or as directors of other publicly traded companies. The Board of Directors believes that each nominee’s experience and personal qualities will permit each nominee to make a substantial and active contribution to Board deliberations. If, for any unforeseen reason, any of these nominees should not be available for election, the proxies will be voted for such person or persons as may be nominated by the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL #2: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (“Independent Auditor”) for the fiscal year ending October 30, 2015. Ernst & Young has been our Independent Auditor since Fiscal 2002. For additional information regarding our relationship with Ernst & Young, please refer to the Audit Committee Report on page 65 and the Audit Fees disclosure on page 67.
Although ratification is not required under our Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, Audit Committee Charter, or otherwise, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of the Independent Auditor to shareholders for ratification as a matter of corporate governance practice. A representative of the Independent Auditor is expected to be present at the 2015 annual meeting. The representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate shareholder questions at the meeting.
If the shareholders do not approve the appointment of the Independent Auditor for Fiscal 2015, the adverse vote will be considered a direction to the Audit Committee to consider other auditing firms for Fiscal 2016. However, the Audit Committee will still have discretion to determine which audit firm to appoint for Fiscal 2016 and, due to the difficulty in making a substitution of auditing firms so long after the beginning of the current fiscal year, the appointment for Fiscal 2015 will stand unless the Audit Committee finds other good reason for making a change. If the shareholders ratify the appointment of the Independent Auditor, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, select a different auditing firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our shareholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR ADOPTION OF PROPOSAL #2 TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL 2015.

11



PROPOSAL #3: ADVISORY VOTE ON OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS’
COMPENSATION
At the 2011 annual meeting, our shareholders expressed their preference that we conduct annual non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation. Consistent with this preference, we are providing shareholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on our named executive officers’ compensation, as disclosed in this proxy statement.
We believe our executive compensation and compensation policies and practices are focused on pay-for-performance principles, reflect a strong alignment with the interests of our long-term shareholders, assist us in hiring, retaining, and incentivizing our executive officers, and are reasonable in comparison to the compensation practices of our competitors and other manufacturing companies of similar size and complexity. We also believe that our compensation policies and programs and Fiscal 2014 compensation decisions, as each is described in this proxy statement, appropriately reward our named executive officers for our performance and for their individual performance. You are strongly encouraged to read the full details of our compensation policies and programs under “Executive Compensation” below.
Because this vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the Human Resources and Nominating Committee, nor will it overrule any prior decision or require the Board or Committee to take any action. However, the Board and the Human Resources and Nominating Committee will review the voting results and may consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions about executive compensation programs.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS’ COMPENSATION.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Board of Directors Structure and Operations
The Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of the management and direction of the corporation and for establishing broad corporate policies. The Board’s approach to corporate governance is reflected in our Corporate Governance Principles and the structure of Board committees that operate under written charters. The Corporate Governance Principles and charters for the Board’s three standing committees – Audit, Human Resources and Nominating, and Executive – may be viewed on our website: www.joyglobal.com.
The Board of Directors is comprised of nine directors. The Board determined that all directors other than Mr. Doheny are independent under New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Board completed a self-assessment of Board performance for Fiscal 2014.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board of Directors determines the most suitable leadership structure from time to time. Our bylaws provide that the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are separate positions, but may be held by the same person. Currently, Edward Doheny serves as our Chief Executive Officer. John Hanson, our former Chief Executive Officer who retired in 2007, serves as Chairman of the Board, and Steven Gerard serves as our Lead Independent Director. In 2007, the Board appointed a Lead Independent Director at a time when Mr. Hanson was not considered to be an independent director due to his prior employment as our Chief Executive Officer. Notwithstanding that Mr. Hanson is independent under New York Stock Exchange listing standards, the Board has elected to retain our existing leadership structure and division of responsibilities between the positions of Chairman and Lead Independent Director, and the separation of these positions from the position of Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors concluded that this leadership structure and division of responsibilities between the positions of Chairman, Lead Independent Director, and Chief Executive Officer has served us well in the past and we anticipate maintaining this structure for the current year.
The Lead Independent Director’s responsibilities include:

leading meetings of the independent directors, including executive sessions of the independent directors held in conjunction with meetings of the full board of directors;
calling meetings of the independent directors and setting the agenda for such meetings;
briefing the Chief Executive Officer and any other director not participating in a meeting of independent directors regarding matters discussed in the executive sessions or meetings of the independent directors, and reporting back to the independent directors as appropriate;
soliciting suggestions from management on matters that they would like the independent directors to review or act upon in their meetings or executive sessions;
chairing meetings of the Board when the Chairman is not in attendance;
acting as representative or spokesman for the independent directors where advisable in communications with shareholders, other stakeholders or the media; and
generally acting as liaison among the directors and with management.

Risk Management
As stated in our Corporate Governance Principles, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the major risks facing us and for reviewing options to mitigate such risks as part of its general oversight duties. In executing this responsibility, the Board has delegated authority to the Audit Committee to directly oversee our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including risk assessment, internal control, management of financial risks, and risk management policies generally. It is the role of management to present these and other material risks in a clear and understandable manner as part of its broader responsibility to keep the Board of Directors well-informed on all matters of significance to the corporation. We believe that our current leadership structure facilitates this clear delineation of responsibility with respect to our risk management process.
Meetings
The Board of Directors held nine meetings during Fiscal 2014. Each incumbent director who served on the Board during Fiscal 2014 attended at least 89% of the Board meetings and committee meetings of which he was a member that were held during the fiscal year. The Board of Directors met without the Chief Executive Officer four times in Fiscal 2014. With the exception of Mr. Tate, each person serving as a director at the time of the 2014 annual meeting attended the 2014 annual meeting. We expect all directors to attend the 2015 annual meeting.
Communications
Shareholders, employees, and other interested parties may communicate with the Board of Directors, a committee of the Board, or particular directors by sending communications in care of the Secretary at Joy Global Inc., 100 E. Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 2780, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202. Shareholders, employees, and other interested parties also may submit communications electronically at http://investors.joyglobal.com/interestedparties.cfm. The Secretary will forward all such communications to the Board of Directors, the applicable committee, or to particular directors as appropriate. Communications intended as or relating to shareholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be addressed to the Secretary as specified under the heading “Submission of Shareholder Proposals” below.
Governance, Ethics, and Communications Policies
Corporate Governance Principles
The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Principles to set forth its guiding principles concerning our governance practices relating to the size and function of the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance Principles address, among other items, the Board’s principles regarding director independence, the functions of the Chairman and Lead Independent Director, executive sessions of independent directors, committee structure and responsibilities, evaluations of the board and the Chief Executive Officer, succession planning, and management responsibilities. You may find our Corporate Governance Principles on our website, www.joyglobal.com, under the Corporate Governance tab of the Investor Center page.
Code of Ethics
The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to the Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers, including the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. The most recent version of the Code of Ethics, which is consistent with SEC regulations and New York Stock Exchange

14



listing standards, is available on our website at www.joyglobal.com, under the Corporate Governance tab of the Investor Center page. In the event of any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Ethics, we will promptly post the date and nature of such amendment or waiver, as well as related information, on our website.
Worldwide Business Conduct Policy and Employee Training and Certification
The Board of Directors has adopted the Joy Global Inc. Worldwide Business Conduct Policy, which governs the actions of all officers, employees, and directors of Joy Global and our subsidiaries. The Worldwide Business Conduct Policy is designed to foster compliance with all applicable legal requirements and to reflect our commitment to the highest principles of business ethics and integrity. The Worldwide Business Conduct Policy is published in the primary language of the countries in which we operate and is made available to all employees. The Worldwide Business Conduct Policy is available on our website, www.joyglobal.com, under the Corporate Governance tab of the Investor Center page.
We require U.S. full-time salaried employees who are not members of a collective bargaining group, equivalent employees outside of the United States, and certain third parties worldwide to complete the Joy Global Inc. Worldwide Business Conduct Policy Training and Certification Program on an annual basis. This program includes completion of online ethics training and certification that the employee or third party has reviewed the Worldwide Business Conduct Policy and has disclosed all known violations of this policy to management. The online ethics training provides guidance on how to properly identify potential Worldwide Business Conduct Policy violations and appropriately respond to possible violations. In Fiscal 2014, approximately 6,000 employees and third parties completed the mandatory program, which was conducted in the primary language of the countries where those employees and such third parties were required to participate.
In addition, all members of our Board of Directors annually certify that they have complied with the Worldwide Business Conduct Policy.
Employee Hotline
Communications from employees regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters, or any violation of the Joy Global Inc. Worldwide Business Conduct Policy may be directed to the Secretary, or may be made anonymously through the Joy Global Inc. Employee Hotline. Employees may access the Employee Hotline 24 hours a day, seven days a week through a toll-free number or by making an online report with our third-party Employee Hotline service provider. We prohibit retaliation against any employee who raises a good faith concern regarding compliance with the Worldwide Business Conduct Policy or any other corporate governance policy.
Committees
The Board’s standing committees are the Audit Committee, the Human Resources and Nominating Committee, and the Executive Committee. In addition, the Board may from time to time authorize additional ad hoc committees, as it deems appropriate.

15



Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Audit Committee is a separately designated committee of the Board, established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. Current members of the Audit Committee are Gale E. Klappa (Chair), P. Eric Siegert, and James H. Tate. The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Klappa and Tate are each audit committee financial experts within the meaning of SEC rules. The Board of Directors has also determined that all members of the Audit Committee are independent and financially literate under New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual Sections 303A.02 and 303A.07, respectively.
The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint and replace the Independent Auditor and is directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of the Independent Auditor. The Audit Committee met nine times during Fiscal 2014. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in monitoring:

(1)
the integrity of our financial statements, including our internal control over financial reporting;
(2)
the Independent Auditor’s qualifications and independence;
(3)
the performance of our internal audit function and the Independent Auditor;
(4)
our overall risk management profile, including risk assessment, management of financial risks, and risk management policies; and
(5)
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Human Resources and Nominating Committee
Current members of the Human Resources and Nominating Committee are Richard B. Loynd (Chair), Steven L. Gerard, and John T. Gremp. The Human Resources and Nominating Committee met six times during Fiscal 2014. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Human Resources and Nominating Committee are independent under New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual Section 303A.02.
The primary functions of the Human Resources and Nominating Committee are to:

(1)
develop and recommend to the Board corporate governance principles;
(2)
review management staffing and make recommendations to the Board;
(3)
review and approve management compensation programs;
(4)
administer our equity and incentive compensation plans;
(5)
evaluate the Board and management;
(6)
evaluate Board practices and make recommendations to the Board;
(7)
develop and recommend qualifications for directors to the Board;
(8)
manage a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees;
(9)
evaluate and recommend to the Board director nominees; and
(10)
develop and recommend to the Board director compensation programs.

16



The Human Resources and Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. Shareholder nominations of directors for election at an annual meeting of shareholders must be directed to our principal executive offices, 100 E. Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 2780, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202, to the attention of the Secretary, not less than 90 days before nor more than 120 days before the first anniversary of the preceding date of the previous year’s annual meeting. A shareholder nomination of a director candidate must comply with, and contain all of the information specified in, our bylaws.
When reviewing director candidates, the Human Resources and Nominating Committee is directed by our Corporate Governance Principles to consider the following qualifications for service as a director:

(1)
the background, experience, skills and education of the candidate, which shall include, but not be limited to, consideration of public company experience, industry background, international experience, leadership, diversity (viewed comprehensively, including with respect to background, experience, skill, education, age, gender, race, ethnicity and national origin), capital markets, accounting, legal or regulatory expertise and other qualities it deems important to enhance the ability of the Board of Directors to manage and direct our affairs;
(2)
ability to comprehend and advise with respect to our goals and strategy and ability to effectively oversee management’s actions to implement a strategic plan to accomplish our goals;
(3)
a history of conducting his or her professional and personal affairs with the utmost integrity and observing the highest standards of values, character, and ethics; and
(4)
a willingness to invest the time necessary to prepare for Board and committee meetings, to attend Board and committee meetings, to be present at annual shareholder meetings, and to be available for consultation with other directors and executive management.
The Human Resources and Nominating Committee also believes that it is generally desirable for all non-employee directors to be able to satisfy the criteria for independence established by the SEC and New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Board of Directors has determined that each director, other than Mr. Doheny, is a non-employee director and is independent under New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
The Human Resources and Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors have also developed procedures for identifying and evaluating persons recommended to be nominated for election as directors, including nominees recommended by shareholders. Under these procedures, the Committee will, among other things:

(1)
review the qualifications and performance of incumbent directors to determine whether the Committee recommends that they be nominated for a further term;
(2)
investigate and review the backgrounds and qualifications of candidates recommended by shareholders, management, or other directors to determine their eligibility to be nominated to become directors;
(3)
consider the appropriateness of adding additional directors to the Board; and
(4)
interview candidates for nomination.
In evaluating candidates for the Board of Directors, the Human Resources and Nominating Committee considers the qualifications discussed above. The Human Resources and Nominating Committee will seek to include diverse candidates meeting these qualifications, including women and minority candidates, in the pool of candidates from which it recommends director nominees, consistent with applicable law

17



and the exercise of its fiduciary duties. In addition, if the committee engages a director search firm or other professional to assist in the identification of director nominees, it will provide instructions that diverse candidates meeting our director qualification standards be identified in the candidate pool. The Committee intends to monitor this issue over time.
Executive Committee
Current members of the Executive Committee are John Nils Hanson (Chair), Edward L. Doheny, Steven L. Gerard, and Richard B. Loynd. The Executive Committee may act upon a matter when it determines that prompt action is in the best interests of the corporation and it is not feasible to call a meeting of the full Board. In connection with the performance of its responsibilities, the Executive Committee has all powers of the Board of Directors, except as prohibited by law or otherwise limited by our Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws or by Board resolution.
In addition, the Executive Committee possesses authority to consider specific proposals to:

(1)
modify the corporation’s capital structure;
(2)
acquire or divest businesses;
(3)
acquire a company;
(4)
make significant investments in the corporation; or
(5)
entertain strategic alliances with the corporation.
The Executive Committee does not have regularly scheduled meetings and did not meet during Fiscal 2014.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis discusses the compensation policies and determinations that apply to our named executive officers. These policies and determinations are established by the Human Resources and Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors, which we refer to in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis as the Committee.

This discussion and analysis contains a discussion of our compensation philosophy, including our emphasis on performance-based compensation, the role of the Committee, the process through which compensation is determined, and the components of our compensation program for our named executive officers. When we refer to our named executive officers, we are referring to the following individuals whose Fiscal 2014 compensation is set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table and subsequent compensation tables:

Edward L. Doheny II, our President and Chief Executive Officer;
James M. Sullivan, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;
Randal W. Baker, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer;
Sean D. Major, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary;
Johannes S. Maritz, our Executive Vice President, Human Resources; and
Michael W. Sutherlin, our retired President and Chief Executive Officer.
Overview of Executive Compensation Policies and Fiscal 2014 Compensation

Our Compensation Philosophy, Policies and Practices

Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our goal is to retain and attract experienced and talented executive officers and to motivate them to achieve our short-term and long-term operational and strategic objectives that produce and promote shareholder value. To achieve this goal, we seek to provide opportunity for our executive officers and other senior managers to earn compensation that is competitive with other manufacturing companies of comparable size, global reach and complexity. In addition, we strongly emphasize a culture of pay for performance in order to provide incentives and accountability for our executive officers and other senior managers in working toward the achievement of our strategic and operational objectives. Accordingly, we have designed our incentive programs with the goal of ensuring that actual realized pay varies above or below targeted compensation opportunity based on achievement of challenging performance goals and demonstration of outstanding personal commitment and contribution.

Pay for Performance

Because our executive officers have primary responsibility for developing and executing our short- and long-range business strategy, they have the greatest impact on our performance and should be held most accountable for results. Our executive compensation program is therefore designed to increase the proportion of “at-risk” pay as a percentage of total compensation as an executive’s responsibilities increase. We consider at-risk pay to include annual cash incentive awards and long-term equity awards and believe that such compensation should significantly exceed our named executive officers' base salary. Targets

19



are set for both the annual cash incentive and performance share awards at levels that will reward our executive officers for the achievement of outstanding and sustained Company performance over time. We believe this emphasis on performance-based compensation as the most significant aspect of our executive officers’ compensation package aligns the interests of our executives and shareholders and provides strong incentives to these individuals to execute our corporate strategy and improve our overall performance.

Compensation Governance Practices

Our executive compensation programs include the following governance best practices:

Executive Employment Agreements. We do not maintain employment agreements with our named executive officers that entitle them to minimum base salaries, guaranteed bonuses or guaranteed levels of equity or other incentives.

Equity Grant Practices. We conduct an annual compensation review each December at which the Committee grants equity awards. With the exception of new hire grants and grants made in Fiscal 2013 in connection with our executive leadership succession process, our practice is to grant equity awards only as part of this annual compensation process. Stock option grants are never backdated and are issued with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of the grant. Stock options may not be repriced without shareholder approval, other than pursuant to an adjustment that affects all shares of our Common Stock.

Executive Stock Ownership Levels. Since Fiscal 2010, all of our equity award agreements have contained provisions limiting the ability of our executive officers to sell our Common Stock unless they have satisfied stock ownership requirements. Under these requirements, our Chief Executive Officer is expected to own shares having a market value equal to at least five times his base salary and our other executive officers are expected to own shares having a market value equal to at least two and one-half times their base salaries. Unless these ownership levels are satisfied, at the time a trade is executed our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers are required to retain shares of our Common Stock having a market value at least equal to 50% and 25%, respectively, of pre-tax compensation realized upon payment of any performance shares, exercise of any stock options or settlement of any restricted stock units.

Ability to “Claw Back” Equity Awards. Since Fiscal 2011, all of our equity award agreements have contained “clawback” provisions pursuant to which we may seek to recover equity-based compensation from any current or former named executive officer if we are required to restate any previously issued financial statements due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws.

Performance Awards - No Dividend Accrual. Performance share payouts are based solely on achievement of stated performance criteria. We do not pay dividends or dividend equivalents on performance shares during the three-year performance cycle.

Tax Treatment of Perquisites. In Fiscal 2013 we eliminated tax-gross ups for personal income taxes incurred from the receipt of most perquisites. In January 2015 we also eliminated tax gross-ups for club initiation fees and personal use of corporate aircraft. In the future, we only expect to provide gross ups for personal income taxes incurred in connection with our broad-based relocation program.

20



No Gross-ups on Severance Payments. Our change of control agreements with our named executive officers do not provide for “golden parachute” or other excise tax reimbursements on severance payments. These agreements also permit the executive to elect to receive a lower payment from us if it would result in the executive receiving a higher payment after application of federal excise taxes.

Compensation Program Risk Assessment. We annually evaluate our compensation practices for potential risks. We do not believe that our compensation policies or practices present risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or liquidity.

Independent Compensation Consultant. The Committee has retained an independent compensation consulting firm that does not provide any other services to the Company.

Consideration of Prior Shareholder Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation

We also have considered the views of our shareholders, as expressed through their annual advisory vote on our executive compensation. In this regard, we have considered the approval of our named executive officers’ compensation by 98% of the votes cast at our 2014 annual meeting and by 95% at our 2013 annual meeting, which was the most recent meeting at the time most Fiscal 2014 compensation decisions were made. We view these historical levels of shareholder support for our executive compensation program as indicative of broad shareholder agreement with the philosophy and policies on which our executive compensation program is premised. In particular, we believe that shareholders support our belief that performance-based compensation should be the largest component of executive officer compensation packages. While we have not made any revisions to our compensation program directly in response to this vote, we have considered past levels of shareholder support and continuation of our emphasis on performance-based compensation in making the changes outlined below under “Key Fiscal 2014 Compensation Decisions.” We believe that the changes discussed in that section demonstrate our ongoing commitment to refine and improve our executive compensation program in accordance with our executive compensation philosophy.

Our 2014 Performance and Compensation

2014 Business Performance and Strategic Highlights

We are a leading manufacturer and servicer of high productivity mining equipment for the extraction of metals and minerals. We manufacture and market original equipment and parts and perform services for both underground and surface mining, as well as certain industrial applications. Our equipment is used in major mining regions throughout the world to mine coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold and other minerals. We also offer comprehensive service locations near major mining regions worldwide and provide extensive operational support for equipment used in surface and underground mining.

Fiscal 2014 was one of the most challenging years in our recent history, as our results were influenced by dramatically weaker commodity market conditions and significantly slowing global economic growth. Most commodity markets remained in surplus in Fiscal 2014, which contributed to a depressed pricing environment and a second consecutive annual decline in mining industry capital expenditures. Despite difficult market conditions, we remained focused on improving our cost structure and responding to customers’ requirements with superior service.


21



Fiscal 2014 strategic highlights include:

We exceeded our cost reduction target and grew service bookings by two percent;
We raised our dividend for the first time in five years;
We returned cash to our shareholders through the repurchase of 4.7 million shares of our Common Stock; and
We also advanced our growth strategy by expanding into underground hard rock mining equipment through our acquisition of Mining Technologies Inc.

We continue to focus on optimizing our global manufacturing footprint and controlling costs, while reducing lead times in order to respond faster to our customers. Achieving this balance is critical for our business, as it will make us more efficient, responsive and competitive when market conditions improve.

The following table highlights key metrics of our financial performance for Fiscal 2014 and the two preceding fiscal years.

Key Fiscal 2014 Compensation Decisions

Base Salaries and Target Annual Cash Incentive Opportunity Increases. In January 2014, base salaries were increased by 3% for our named executive officers, which was consistent with the range of annual salary increase provided to our other salaried officers. In addition, Mr. Maritz’s salary was increased in June 2014 by 9% to more closely correspond to the market for professionals with his background and experience. In connection with their promotions to Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer in December 2013, the target annual cash incentive opportunities for Messrs. Doheny and Baker were increased to 100% and 80% of base salary, respectively.

Annual Cash Incentive Payouts. Annual cash incentive awards to named executive officers were paid at approximately 112% of each person’s target cash incentive opportunity based on our achievement of Fiscal 2014 performance goals linked to our adjusted operating profit margin (adjusted operating profit as a percentage of net sales) and average trade working capital velocity (average trade working capital as a percentage of net sales). This was somewhat less than the targeted payout factor for cash incentive opportunity.


22



Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) Award Grants. We granted LTI awards to named executive officers, with an LTI award mix of 50% performance shares, 35% stock options and 15% restricted stock units. This allocation reflects an increased weighting of performance shares and stock options compared to our historical practice of equally weighting the grant date value of all three types of LTI awards. The change in grant mix was intended to increase the percentage of total LTI opportunity that is tied to specific operating goals and changes in share price, thereby fostering stronger alignment between realized pay and shareholder returns.

Performance Share Redesign. In early Fiscal 2014, we re-designed the goal setting process for our performance share program for the Fiscal 2014-2016 performance period. While performance shares granted in Fiscal 2014 continue to be based on a three-year average adjusted EPS goal, the target adjusted EPS for each year of the performance period will be calculated dynamically, based on actual year-over-year changes in net sales and our target operating leverage. We believe this re-design is better attuned to the highly cyclical nature of our business and holds our executives more directly accountable for managing our business. We believe these changes to the performance share component of our LTI grants and the increased weighting of performance share awards will further align our executive compensation program with our pay-for-performance philosophy. Importantly, we believe these changes will diminish the potential for windfalls and substantial deficits resulting from rigid multi-year performance goals that fail to account for market conditions beyond our executives’ control.

No Payout for Fiscal 2012 Performance Share Awards. Our executives received no payout for performance shares granted in Fiscal 2012 due to financial performance that fell below the minimum threshold level of average EPS performance over the three-year performance period that concluded in Fiscal 2014. The minimum threshold for payout for this performance period was $5.58, while our average EPS during this period was $5.25.

Fiscal 2014 Total Direct Compensation

The Committee annually determines the mix and weightings of the elements of our compensation program. We believe the relative weighting of base salary to performance-based compensation, consisting of short-term cash incentives and long-term equity awards, reflects our commitment to pay for performance principles. From time to time we refer to short-term incentives and LTI awards as “at-risk compensation” and, when combined with base salary, as total direct compensation, due to the fact that such compensation varies based on our performance and the performance of our Common Stock.

The following table provides an overview of total direct compensation received by our named executive officers in Fiscal 2014. This table does not include all of the information included in the Summary Compensation Table, which appears on page 40.

At-risk compensation exceeded 75% of total direct compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and two-thirds of total direct compensation for all of our other named executive officers;
Equity awards were the most significant component of our executive compensation program, with future realizable compensation dependent upon our operating performance and change in share price over a number of years; and
Short-term incentive compensation was based on annual operating results and individual performance.

Our Compensation Decision Process

Role of the Committee, Independent Consultant and Management

The Committee serves as our compensation committee and is charged with overseeing and administering all compensation actions related to our named executive officers. The Committee’s charter is available on our website.

The Committee is specifically authorized in its charter to retain external legal, accounting, or other advisors and consultants. The Committee has retained Frederic W. Cook & Co. (“Cook & Co.”) as its independent executive compensation consultant. Cook & Co. was retained directly by the Committee, performed no other services for us in Fiscal 2014, and worked with management only under the direction of the Committee chair. The Committee has assessed the independence of Cook & Co. pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and SEC rules and is not aware of any conflict of interest that would prevent Cook & Co. from providing independent advice to the Committee.

Among other tasks assigned by the Committee, in Fiscal 2014 Cook & Co.:

provided assistance with a review of our long-term incentive programs and the competitiveness of our grant practices; and
prepared annual analyses on the competitiveness of compensation to be paid to our Chief Executive Officer, other named executive officers and our non-employee directors.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Human Resources work with internal resources and Cook & Co. to design programs, implement Committee decisions, recommend amendments to existing, or the adoption of new, compensation and benefit programs and plans applicable to executive officers, and prepare necessary briefing materials for the Committee’s review as part of its decision-making process.

Use of Market Compensation Data

Before the Committee makes the foregoing determinations, the Chief Executive Officer provides his recommendations to the Committee on compensation actions for all executive officers, other than himself. The Chief Executive Officer also discusses with the Committee his assessment of the performance of our executive officers and any other factors that he believes the Committee should consider in making compensation decisions. The Committee reviews competitive market compensation data for our executive officers compared to similarly situated executives in a peer group, which for Fiscal 2014 consisted of the 14 manufacturing companies listed below:


25



    AGCO Corporation
    Ingersoll-Rand plc
    Cameron International Corporation
    The Manitowoc Company, Inc.
    Crane Co.
    Oshkosh Corporation
    Dover Corporation
    Pentair Ltd.
    Flowserve Corporation
    Terex Corporation
    Harsco Corporation
    The Timken Company
    Illinois Tool Works Inc.
    Trinity Industries, Inc.

In selecting the peer group, the Committee considered publicly traded manufacturing companies with reasonably comparable business operations, market capitalization and revenues. The peer group companies generally utilize similar business models and, like Joy Global, operate in highly competitive global markets. However, we are the only large, independent public company in the United States engaged solely in manufacturing and servicing equipment for the mining industry. Accordingly, cyclical fluctuations in the mining industry due to commodity price volatility, competitive pressures or economic factors affecting the industry may cause our results for any particular period to differ significantly from those of some or all of the other manufacturing companies included in the peer group. The Committee evaluates peer group composition annually and makes changes as it deems appropriate. Our Fiscal 2014 peer group was the same as our Fiscal 2013 peer group. Data from the peer group is supplemented by third party survey data from Aon Hewitt and the Hay Group to provide additional insight into market compensation practices. The identity of the companies comprising the survey data is not disclosed to, or considered by, the Committee in its decision-making process.

Establishing Executive Compensation

We have not entered into employment agreements with our named executive officers that determine their annual compensation. Instead, the Committee conducts an annual process to establish executive compensation based upon its evaluation of prior performance and objectives and metrics it selects to measure future performance. The Committee annually reviews our compensation structure and programs, including potential risks that may be associated with particular forms of compensation; retirement, benefit, severance programs; and management succession plans. The Committee also annually reviews the role of the Chief Executive Officer in our performance, his role in advancing our strategic objectives and other factors relating to his individual performance during the year, as well as establishing his performance objectives and targets for the coming year.
 
The Committee makes its annual compensation decisions at its first meeting of our fiscal year, which is normally held in early December. At this meeting, the Committee evaluates performance against targets for the just-concluded performance periods, and determines the associated corporate performance payout components, determines awards earned by executive officers under our annual incentive program for the previous fiscal year, and grants annual equity awards and establishes target cash incentive compensation for executive officers for the upcoming fiscal year.

Our executive compensation program takes into account marketplace compensation for executive talent, internal equity with our employees, past practices, business and individual results, and the talents, skills, and experience of our individual executive officers. With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, the Committee reviews a range of salary adjustments and incentive plan payouts for the most recently concluded one- and three-year performance periods. The Committee then recommends targets for the upcoming one- and three-year performance periods based upon benchmarking studies for other chief executives within our peer group.

26



The Committee begins by establishing target levels of total compensation for our executive officers for a given year. The Committee’s general goal is to position target compensation, on average, at the median of the peer group for the named executive officers. On an individual basis, target compensation for each named executive officer may be set above or below median based on a variety of factors including sustained performance over time, readiness for promotion to a higher level, and skill set and experience relative to external market counterparts. Actual compensation varies above or below the target level based on the degree to which specific performance goals are attained in the variable incentive plans, changes in stock value over time, and the individual performance of each executive. Once an overall target compensation level is established, the Committee considers the weight of each principal component of compensation within the intended total target compensation. The principal components of compensation include base salary, annual cash incentives, performance shares, stock options and restricted stock units, each of which is described in the following section of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

With respect to performance-based compensation, the Committee establishes, in consultation with management, and in consideration of the annual budget and long-term strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors, performance criteria and target goals at the beginning of each performance period. At the conclusion of a performance period, we measure our performance under the pre-established criteria for such program. We utilize multiple measures of performance under our programs to ensure that no single aspect of performance is rewarded in isolation among the various performance criteria affecting shareholder value. We believe this approach results in a balanced evaluation of executive performance and prevents performance incentives from being distorted in a manner that may adversely affect our operations.

Principal Components of Fiscal 2014 Executive Compensation

Our executive compensation program has five principal components that are intended, collectively, to compensate and create incentives for our named executive officers with respect to annual and long-term performance. These five principal components are base salary, annual cash incentives, awards of performance shares, stock options and restricted stock units.

Salary

Base salary is an important component of our executive compensation program, and is intended to provide our executive officers with a level of stable income that is competitive within our peer group. There are also motivational and reward aspects to base salary, as base salary can be adjusted from year to year to account for considerations such as individual performance and time in position. Base salary is also a factor in determining the amount of awards under, and eligibility to participate in, many of our compensation and benefits arrangements. The Committee establishes base salaries for our named executive officers annually at its first meeting of the fiscal year. In January 2014, each of our named executive officers received an ordinary course merit-based salary increase of 3%; Mr. Maritz also received a mid-year market-based adjustment of approximately 9% in June 2014.

Annual Cash Incentives

As part of our pay-for-performance philosophy, we establish annual cash incentives for our executives and managers to achieve selected financial, strategic, and other business goals. This plan is intended to link employee pay to the performance of the business and reward employees for improvements in profitability and asset utilization.

In connection with their promotions to Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, in Fiscal 2014 the target annual cash incentive opportunities for Messrs. Doheny and Baker were increased to 100% and 80% of fiscal year earnings, respectively. The Fiscal 2014 target cash incentive opportunity for each named executive officer was as follows:

As part of our One Joy Global initiative, beginning in Fiscal 2013 the formula under which we award two-thirds of our annual cash incentive opportunity was calculated using a payout factor based entirely on company-wide performance, rather than weights assigned to corporate and segment performance based on each individual’s area of responsibility. While the final annual cash incentive for each named executive

28



officer is in the judgment of the Committee, the payouts are primarily dependent on performance versus the following goals in Fiscal 2014:
 
 
 
Annual Incentive Metric
 
Rationale
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gate:
 
 
Positive Adjusted Pre-tax Income
 
    Qualifies the annual cash incentive for deductibility under Section 162(m). Failure to attain this goal results in no annual cash incentive payout.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Primary:
 
 
Adjusted Operating Profit as Percentage of Net Sales (Adjusted Profit Margin)
 
    Key measure of our profitability
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Multiplier:
 
 
Average Trade Working Capital as Percentage of Net Sales (Trade Working Capital Velocity)
 
    Key measure of our operating efficiency
 

The performance “gate” for annual cash incentive payout is positive adjusted pre-tax income. If this performance level is not achieved for a particular year, the named executive officers will not receive a cash incentive payment. In years when we have had positive adjusted pre-tax income, as we did in Fiscal 2014, the Committee has exercised its discretion to reduce the annual cash incentive payout to an amount calculated in the same manner as our annual cash incentive program for employees other than our executive officers. These amounts are calculated based on our adjusted operating profit margin and application of a multiplier based on average trade working capital velocity. The resulting payout factor ranges from 0.0 to 2.0 of each participant’s target cash incentive as described above, increasing as our profitability and operating efficiency improve. In light of the anticipated difficult operating environment that we faced at the beginning of Fiscal 2014 and in recognition of the Board's objectives of maximizing aftermarket sales in order to maintain profit margins in this environment, the Committee set the Fiscal 2014 target payout factor for annual cash incentives at 1.25.

Adjusted operating profit margin and average trade working capital velocity are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted operating profit margin is derived from our adjusted operating profit, which is our operating profit before unusual items, including restructuring charges, pension curtailment charge and acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by unusual period-end items. The Committee, following consultation with management, determined to exclude certain of these items at the time our Fiscal 2014 bonus targets were established, while it subsequently determined to exclude the period-end items, which were not anticipated when the targets were originally established. Average trade working capital velocity is a measure of operating efficiency that is calculated as an average of our trade working capital calculated over a 13-month period ended October 31, 2014, divided by net sales for Fiscal 2014. Average trade working capital is calculated as the sum of our average accounts receivable and inventories less accounts payable and advance payments and progress billings. Average trade working capital velocity measures management’s efficiency over the year of managing accounts receivable terms and collections, obtaining advance payments on customer orders, negotiating terms with our suppliers and aligning inventory levels with current production schedules, customer demand and our direct service model.

The method of determining cash incentive awards is intended to drive an appropriate balance under which trade working capital performance complements, but does not offset, profitability. The payout scale applicable to Fiscal 2014 is shown in the table below.

The remaining one-third of the calculated incentive opportunity may be adjusted up or down, subject to the overall 200%-of-target cap on payment, based on individual performance measured against a variety of individual performance objectives that are established early in the fiscal year and designed to align with our overall business plans. The table below highlights each named executive officer’s individual performance objectives for Fiscal 2014.

After considering the achievement of the corporate goals and each named executive officer’s personal performance for Fiscal 2014, the Committee determined to pay each named executive officer 100% of the Fiscal 2014 targeted incentive opportunity based on the corporate performance payout factor, with no adjustment, either up or down, for personal performance. The following table outlines the Fiscal 2014 target cash incentive and application of our corporate performance payout factor to calculate the annual cash incentive payout for each of the named executive officers.

The Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time grant an individual bonus to a named executive officer or other senior manager for achievement of certain accomplishments in addition to an executive’s individual objectives under our annual cash incentive program. In Fiscal 2014, the Committee granted Mr. Sutherlin a discretionary bonus of $500,000 at the time of his retirement in recognition of his contributions regarding our executive leadership succession process in Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014.

Performance Shares

The Committee grants performance shares to provide executive officers and other senior management with long-term incentives to improve the quality of earnings and share price performance. The Committee believes that the performance share award program serves as a powerful retention tool and motivates senior management to attain performance levels linked to long-term returns for our shareholders. The Committee, taking into consideration the input of the Chief Executive Officer, annually determines performance objectives and sets the baseline number of performance shares to be awarded based on the attainment of these objectives. In establishing this baseline, the Committee considers the scope of the duties performed by the executive officer, as well as compensation relative to our other employees and for comparable positions within our peer group.

For the performance shares granted to executive officers in Fiscal 2014, the Committee used a two-step approach as more fully described below:

 
 
 
Performance Share Metric
Rationale
 
 
 
 
 

Gate:
 
 

Average Return on Equity during Fiscal 2014-2016
    Ensure achievement of a threshold level of return on shareholders’ equity before any performance shares can be earned

    Qualifies the award for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
 
 
 
 
 
Primary:
 
 
Average Adjusted EPS during Fiscal 2014-2016
    Reward achievement in earnings per share relative to net sales

32



The award cycle for performance shares granted during Fiscal 2014 is the three-year period concluding at the end of Fiscal 2016. The performance “gate” for the performance share awards granted to the named executive officers is average return on equity of 10% for the three-year performance period. If this performance level is not achieved, the named executive officers do not receive an award for the performance period. If this performance level is achieved, the number of performance shares distributable to executive officers will be (i) 180% of the target number of performance shares subject to the award or (ii) at the discretion of the Committee, any lower number that, expressed as a percentage of targeted performance shares, is not less than the percentage of the target number of performance shares generally awarded to employees other than executive officers who were granted performance shares in Fiscal 2014.

Historically, the Committee has exercised its discretion and calculated performance share payouts for our executive officers in the same manner as those awarded to non-executive employees. In the past, these amounts have been based on our achievement of threshold, target or maximum levels of average adjusted EPS goals that were set at the commencement of the performance period. For the Fiscal 2014 performance share awards, the target adjusted EPS goal is based on the actual change in net sales for each year of the performance period. For each such year, target income from continuing operations, the numerator of annual adjusted EPS, is derived based on profitability using a positive 25% operating leverage percentage when the annual change in net sales is positive, and a negative 34% operating leverage percentage when the annual change in net sales is negative. The operating leverage result is then reduced for interest expense and income taxes at the actual effective tax rates. Diluted weighted average shares used in the calculation are as reported in the Corporation's annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each year’s targeted adjusted EPS and actual adjusted EPS are averaged for the total three-year period to determine the final payout factor at the end of the period.

The performance achievement and payout scale shown in the table below will be used to determine earned performance shares at the end of the Fiscal 2014-2016 performance period.

The payout factor is established on a straight-line basis between the points shown in the table.

Goal-setting for performance shares was changed from a static approach to a dynamic approach to reflect the cyclical nature of our business and the significant and uncontrollable impact of country economic and energy policies on customer demand for our equipment and services.

With respect to performance shares granted in Fiscal 2012 for the Fiscal 2012-2014 performance period, no shares were earned because our actual average adjusted EPS of $5.52 was below the threshold performance achievement level $5.58.

Stock Options

The Committee believes that stock options are an important component of a sound executive compensation program that help to further align management’s interests with those of our shareholders because the options only have value if the price of our Common Stock increases after the stock options are granted. In Fiscal 2014, stock options were granted to 184 employees, including executive officers and other senior managers. Stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant and expire 10 years after the grant date. The exercise price of all stock options granted in Fiscal 2014 is the closing market price on the date of the grant.

The number of stock options granted to each named executive officer is shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table.

Restricted Stock Units

The Committee believes that restricted stock unit grants play an important role in retaining our senior management and facilitating the accumulation of a significant ownership stake in the corporation in order to align management’s interests with those of our shareholders. In Fiscal 2014, restricted stock units were granted to 225 employees, including executive officers and other senior managers. Prior to Fiscal 2014, restricted stock units vested in equal installments on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. In Fiscal 2014, the Committee changed the vesting period so that vesting would occur in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The Committee determined that the shorter vesting period for restricted stock units is consistent with the practice of our peer companies.

The number of restricted stock units granted to each named executive officer is shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table.

Determining Composition of Compensation Components

We target a total compensation mix for executive officers that is designed to motivate, retain and attract experienced and talented executives who are capable of achieving our short-term and long-term strategic and financial objectives, thereby increasing shareholder value.

The Committee annually evaluates the allocation of incentives between short- and long-term performance in order to align executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders and to emphasize achievement of the full spectrum of our business objectives and to facilitate the retention of key talent. Historically, the Committee allocated approximately one-third of the grant date value of equity compensation for named executive officers to each of performance shares, stock options and restricted stock units. However, for Fiscal 2014, the Committee determined that equity composition for the named executive officers will be weighted with an allocation of 50% in performance shares, 35% in stock option awards and 15% in restricted stock units. This revised balance further emphasizes compensation that ties directly to our operating results and stock price performance.

The overall mix of compensation reflects the Committee’s intention for named executive officers to have the substantial majority of their total compensation opportunity be at risk, and in particular, subject to our long-term performance and changes in shareholder value. We annually evaluate our compensation practices for all employees for potential risks; however, in light of the compensation mix described herein, the nature of our business, and our organizational structure, the Committee does not believe that our

34



compensation policies or practices present risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or liquidity. As a result, the Committee has not made significant changes to our compensation policies or procedures in response to our risk profile.

Additional Fiscal 2014 Compensation Benefits and Programs

In addition to the principal components of our executive compensation program, we also provide our executives with retirement, health and other personal benefits.

Retirement Plans
Executive officers participate in the full range of retirement plans that are provided for our U.S. salaried employees. The plans are designed to provide replacement income upon retirement. We target our overall benefits to be competitive with median levels at leading manufacturing companies (a group that is somewhat broader than the compensation peer group used for pay comparisons). These benefits consist of:
fixed and matching contributions to the Joy Global Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Savings Plan”), our tax-qualified defined contribution plan;
fixed and matching contributions to the Joy Global Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan”), our supplemental non-qualified defined contribution plan;
continued participation in defined benefit pension plan (the “Joy Global Pension Plan”), for employees whose employment began before May 1, 2005, although the accrual of additional benefits under such plan was frozen on May 1, 2012;
if eligible, continued participation in the supplemental executive retirement plan available to participants in the Joy Global Pension Plan (the “Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan”), although the accrual of additional benefits under such plan was frozen on May 1, 2012; and
if eligible, individual replacement contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan that are designed to offset the estimated effect of our decision to freeze the accrual of benefits under the Joy Global Pension Plan for participants in such plan.

Executive officers participate in these plans on the same terms as provided to U.S. salaried employees, except that individual replacement contributions for executive officers who participate in the Joy Global Pension Plan are capped at 25%. The first such payment was made in February 2013 and was calculated as a fixed percentage of each eligible employee’s eligible compensation between May 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012. We are not obligated to continue making individual replacement contributions and these contributions may be reduced or eliminated in the future.

The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan and the Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan allow us to provide benefits to eligible employees, including executive officers, that are comparable to those that would be available under the Retirement Savings Plan and the Joy Global Pension Plan, respectively, if federal income tax rules applicable to retirement benefits did not include limits on covered compensation and benefits under tax-qualified plans. The supplemental plans use the same benefit formulas as our broad-based tax-qualified plans and use the same types of compensation to determine benefit amounts, including the exclusion from the calculation of retirement benefits of all amounts earned under long-term incentive programs. Neither of our supplemental plans provide for the payment of above-market or preferential interest or dividend rates.

35



Perquisites

We provide our executive officers with a limited number of perquisites to support our efforts to retain and attract executive talent. We believe these benefits allow our named executive officers to proactively manage their health, work more efficiently, provide appropriate settings for business networking and other business functions and meetings and, in the case of the financial and tax planning program, help them optimize the value received from our compensation and benefits programs:

Annual physical exam. We reimburse executive officers for the cost of an annual executive physical and health screening to the extent these charges are not covered by medical.

Company car. We provide a car allowance of up to $1,300 per month ($1,400 in the case of the Chief Executive Officer). In addition, we reimburse the executive officer for the cost of gasoline, routine maintenance, and replacement of normal wear-and-tear items.

Corporate aircraft usage. We permit our executive officers to make limited personal use of our company-owned aircraft.

Club membership. We reimburse executive officers for the initiation fees and annual or monthly dues for belonging to either an appropriate country club or social club. We also reimburse the annual membership costs for one airline club. 

Financial planning and tax preparation. We reimburse executive officers for the cost of annual tax preparation and reasonable financial and estate planning.

Home office. We reimburse executive officers for reasonable costs associated with a home office.

In addition, we reimburse executive officers for the cost of relocation under the same policy and guidelines as all other full-time salaried employees who are hired or transferred at our request.

In Fiscal 2013 we eliminated tax-gross ups on personal income taxes due as a result of the receipt of most perquisites. In addition, in January 2015 we eliminated the tax gross-up on club initiation fees and for personal use of company-owned aircraft. Accordingly, other than with respect to relocation expenses, in the future we will not reimburse our employees for the payment of individual income taxes incurred due to the receipt of perquisites.

We regularly review the benefits provided to our employees, including our named executive officers, and make appropriate modifications based on the Committee’s evaluation of the retentive value of these benefits.
Severance Benefits
To enable us to offer competitive total compensation packages to key executives, as well as to ensure the ongoing retention of these individuals when considering potential takeovers that may create uncertainty as to their future employment with us, we have entered into change of control agreements with our named executive officers. The Committee believes that the benefits provided under these agreements are appropriate and are consistent with our objective of retaining and attracting highly-qualified executives. For a detailed description of the benefits provided under the change of control agreements, see the discussion on page 54.

36



Additional Considerations

Executive Stock Ownership
Since Fiscal 2010, all of our equity award agreements have contained provisions limiting the ability of our executive officers to sell our Common Stock unless they have satisfied stock ownership requirements. Under these requirements, our Chief Executive Officer is expected to own shares having a market value equal to at least five times his base salary and our other executive officers are expected to own shares having a market value equal to at least two and one-half times their base salaries. Unless these ownership levels are satisfied, at the time a trade is executed, our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers are required to retain shares of our Common Stock having a market value at least equal to 50% and 25%, respectively, of pre-tax compensation realized upon payment of any performance shares, exercise of any stock options or settlement of any restricted stock units.
Effect of Past Grants
Although the Committee annually monitors amounts realizable from prior compensation, such as prior option or stock awards, to date such prior compensation has not been given significant consideration in the Committee’s decisions setting other elements of compensation, such as retirement benefits.
Clawback Provision
The Committee’s general position is that no executive officer should be allowed to retain any benefit attributable to an error in the determination of a performance measure. In Fiscal 2011, the Committee began the practice of including provisions in all equity award agreements providing that we may seek to recover equity-based compensation from any current or former named executive officer if we are required to restate any previously issued financial statements due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws.
Accounting and Share Dilution Considerations
In designing our compensatory programs, we consider the various accounting and disclosure rules associated with various forms of compensation as well as the share dilution and cash flow considerations associated with each program. The Committee seeks to implement plans and policies that maximize financial efficiency and avoid unnecessary or excessive share dilution. Each year, we engage Cook & Co. to conduct a study of the competitive share usage and dilution levels and the aggregate economic costs associated with our long-term incentive compensation, and the Committee considers this analysis when setting an annual budget.
Tax Considerations
Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we may not be able to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million that is paid in one year to “covered employees” which are our Chief Executive Officer and three other most highly compensated named executive officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer). Section 162(m) provides exemptions from the deduction limit for compensation that qualifies as “performance-based compensation” or is paid after the executive leaves our employment. The Committee considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) when evaluating particular compensation programs in the context of the Committee’s broader compensation objectives and overall compensation philosophy, but may consider other factors of greater importance than preserving deductibility for a particular form of compensation.

Supplemental Disclosure with Respect to Realized Compensation

The following supplemental table summarizes the compensation that our named executive officers actually realized in Fiscal 2012-2014. The amounts reflected in this table differ substantially from “Total Compensation” disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table by reporting the value realized each year from previously awarded equity compensation, rather than the grant date fair value of awards granted during each year, and excluding the amounts under “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” and “All Other Compensation.” The amounts reported in this table and in the charts below should not be considered a substitute for the Summary Compensation Table, which is calculated using accounting and actuarial assumptions required by SEC rules. In addition, the amounts reported in the table do not reflect potential compensation that our named executive officers may realize based on the future performance of our Common Stock. For information regarding potential future compensation of our named executive officers, refer to Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2014 on page 45, Pension Benefits as of Fiscal 2014 on page 48, Nonqualified Deferred Compensation During Fiscal 2014 on page 50, and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control at Fiscal 2014 Year-End on page 52.

(2) 
Reflects aggregate amounts realized from payout of performance shares, the exercise of stock options and payout of vested restricted stock units, including additional restricted stock units received in lieu of dividends since the date of grant. Performance share payout in Fiscal 2014 was for the Fiscal 2011-2013 performance cycle, performance share payout in Fiscal 2013 was for the Fiscal 2010-2012 performance cycle and performance share payout in Fiscal 2012 was for the Fiscal 2009-2011 performance cycle. All performance share payouts for the years provided were settled in shares of Common Stock. Restricted stock units that vested and were paid out in Fiscal

38



2014 were awarded in Fiscal 2009-2011, restricted stock units that vested in Fiscal 2013 were awarded in Fiscal 2008-2010 and restricted stock units that vested and were paid out in Fiscal 2012 were awarded in Fiscal 2007-2009.
For Mr. Doheny, a portion of the payout of shares upon vesting of his Fiscal 2009 restricted stock units was subject to mandatory deferral pursuant to the terms of his Fiscal 2009 restricted stock unit award agreement. Shares deferred have not been paid out and are not included in the table above. These amounts are reported as executive contributions in the table in this proxy statement labeled Nonqualified Deferred Compensation During Fiscal 2014, the table in the proxy statement relating to the 2014 annual meeting labeled Nonqualified Deferred Compensation During Fiscal 2013, and the table in the proxy statement relating to the 2013 annual meeting labeled Nonqualified Deferred Compensation During Fiscal 2012.

(3) 
Realized equity compensation for Fiscal 2014 for Mr. Sutherlin includes the value realized on the distribution of 189,753 shares previously deferred pursuant to the terms of applicable performance share award and restricted stock unit award agreements, which occurred on June 19, 2014. In connection with this distribution, Mr. Sutherlin realized $7,063,832 in connection with previously deferred performance share award payouts and $4,721,726 in connection with restricted stock units that had been automatically deferred at the time of vesting. These amounts include deferred stock units that were earned in lieu of dividends at a non-preferential rate.

The charts below reflect compensation realized in Fiscal 2014 by our Chief Executive Officer and the average of our other named executive officers, expressed as a percentage of Total Compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

Fiscal 2014 consisted of 53 weeks, which resulted in the inclusion of an additional week of salary in the Summary Compensation Table.

(2) 
The amounts shown in this column represent bonuses paid at the discretion of the Human Resources and Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors, over and above amounts earned through satisfaction of the performance measures in our annual cash incentive plan.

(3) 
Stock awards consist of performance awards and restricted stock unit awards. The amounts reflected in the stock and option awards columns and corresponding disclosure in the total compensation column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of stock and option awards we granted in Fiscal 2014, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Certification Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“FASB ASC Topic 718”). All assumptions made in the valuation of stock awards and option awards for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 are discussed in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014.

(i) Reflects the aggregate incremental cost to us of personal use of our corporate aircraft. Aggregate incremental cost to us of use of our corporate aircraft was determined on a per flight basis based on the amounts we were invoiced by our aircraft management services provider, and includes the cost of fuel, landing fees, in-flight meals and crew expenses. Because our aircraft is used principally for business travel, the calculation does not include the fixed costs that do not change based on usage. From time to time, a spouse or

41



other guest of a named executive officer was a passenger on our aircraft when it was already scheduled for business purposes and had room to accommodate additional passengers. We incurred no incremental operating cost from the travel of these guests.

(ii) This column reports amounts reimbursed for payment of financial planning and tax preparation, physical examinations, and home office expenses.

(B)
Tax reimbursements in Fiscal 2014 are limited to personal income taxes incurred due to our payment of relocation expenses, initiation fees for membership in an appropriate country club or social club, and for personal use of our corporate aircraft, including travel by guests accompanying our employees on business travel (as defined and calculated in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines). Tax reimbursements for periods prior to January 2013, when the Committee limited the practice of providing tax reimbursements for most perquisites, include payments in connection with taxes incurred with respect to personal use of car, club initiation fees and dues, relocation expenses, financial planning and tax preparation services, and physical examinations. In January 2015, we further limited future reimbursement of taxes to those incurred in connection with our broad-based relocation program.

(C)
Company contributions to defined contribution plans in 2014 consist of (i) fixed and matching contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan, our tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, (ii) fixed and matching contributions to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan on compensation in excess of limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) if eligible, individual replacement contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for participants in the Joy Global Pension Plan that are designed to offset the estimated effect of the May 2012 freeze in benefits under the Joy Global Pension Plan. The Joy Global Retirement Savings Plan and Joy Global Pension Plan are discussed under Pension Benefits as of Fiscal 2014, beginning on page 48. The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan is discussed under Nonqualified Deferred Compensation During Fiscal 2014 on page 50.

Mr. Maritz and Mr. Sutherlin are the only named executive officers who participate in the Joy Global Pension Plan. Messrs. Doheny, Sullivan, Baker, and Major were hired after the Joy Global Pension Plan was closed to new participants and, accordingly, did not receive individual replacement contributions designed to offset the May 2012 freeze of benefits under such plan.

The amount reflected for Fiscal 2014 for Mr. Doheny consists of $13,000 in company contributions and $7,674 in matching contributions to his Retirement Savings Plan account and $84,912 in company contributions to his Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan account.

Messrs. Doheny, Sullivan, Baker, and Major, do not participate in the Joy Global Pension Plan or the Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan, as each was hired after May 1, 2005, the date on which the pension plans closed to new employees.

(2) 
Mr. Sutherlin began receiving benefits from the Joy Global Pension Plan and the Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan following his retirement on February 1, 2014. Payments during the last fiscal year reflect pension distributions made to Mr. Sutherlin in Fiscal 2014. The benefits paid to Mr. Sutherlin under the Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan were reduced to take into account the value of this early distribution in Fiscal 2013. The amount of these distributions is included in the calculation of the aggregate change in pension value reported in the Summary Compensation Table.
Material terms of the plans
Joy Global Pension Plan. Named executive officers who began their employment with us prior to May 1, 2005 participate in the Joy Global Pension Plan, which is a broad-based defined benefit plan qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. Benefit accruals under this plan for salaried and nonbargaining hourly participants were frozen on May 1, 2012. This plan entitles certain employees with at least five years of service, including participating named executive officers, to receive monthly payments equal to a percentage of the employee’s average monthly salary and bonus (including amounts shown as non-equity incentive compensation in the Summary Compensation Table) over the highest 60 consecutive calendar month period during the last 120 consecutive calendar months of service ending April 30, 2012. The monthly accrued benefit is calculated as final average earnings multiplied by a percentage, which is the sum of age based percentages defined by the plan. This result is multiplied by years of benefit service at termination divided by projected years of benefit service at the plan’s normal retirement date. The normal retirement age under the plan is 65.
Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan. This non-qualified plan is structured to provide our eligible executives (and other employees with eligible compensation exceeding the annual limits on tax-qualified plans) with a retirement benefit equal to what they would have received if the tax-qualified Joy Global Pension Plan did not reflect the annual income limits imposed under U.S. federal tax regulations. This plan has the same requirements regarding eligibility for participation and retirement as the Joy Global Pension Plan, and was similarly frozen on May 1, 2012. As of May 1, 2012, employees who previously participated in the Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan will receive contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan, as discussed below. To the extent contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan exceed limits for tax-qualified plans, these employees will be permitted to participate in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan so that the annual compensation limits imposed on tax-qualified plans under the Internal Revenue Code do not reduce the overall retirement plan benefits.

48



Joy Global Retirement Savings Plan. Prior to May 1, 2012 all non-union employees, including executive officers, hired on or after May 1, 2005 participated in the Retirement Savings Plan. We contributed a fixed amount to each participating employee’s plan account equal to four percent (4%) of the employee’s eligible compensation and a matching amount equal to fifty percent (50%) on the first six percent (6%) of eligible compensation an employee contributes. Employee accounts for company provided fixed contributions made prior to May 1, 2012 become fully vested after three years of service. Employee accounts for company provided matching contributions made prior to May 1, 2012 are immediately fully vested.
Following our freeze of the accrual of benefits under the Joy Global Pension Plan on May 1, 2012, all non-union employees, including executive officers participate in the Joy Global Retirement Saving Plan regardless of their date of hire. We contribute a fixed amount to each participating employee’s plan account equal to five percent (5%) of the employee’s eligible compensation and a matching amount equal to fifty percent (50%) on the first six percent (6%) of eligible compensation an employee contributes. Certain eligible employees, as discussed below, also will be eligible to receive individual replacement contributions. All company provided contributions after May 1, 2012 are immediately vested in full.
Participants in the Joy Global Pension Plan at the time it was frozen, including our named executive officers, will receive, if eligible, individual replacement contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan that are designed to offset the effect of the freeze. Individual replacement contributions will consist of the percentage of each employee’s eligible compensation that, in combination with the five percent (5%) fixed contributions and the employee’s retirement benefit under the Joy Global Pension Plan on May 1, 2012, was projected to provide approximately equivalent value at retirement as his or her benefit under the Joy Global Pension Plan was projected to provide had the accrual of future benefits under such plan not been frozen. This percentage of eligible compensation to be provided as an individual replacement contribution was calculated at the time the accrual of future benefits under the Joy Global Pension Plan was frozen. We are not obligated to continue making individual replacement contributions and these contributions may be reduced or eliminated in the future. Accordingly, the dollar value of an employee’s individual replacement contributions may change from year to year. Individual replacement contributions ranged from 0.0% to 38.3% of eligible compensation, and eligible employees received an average individual replacement contribution of 10.1%. Individual retirement contributions were capped at 25% of eligible pay for our executive officers.
Years of service
The Joy Global Pension Plan does not currently allow us the discretion to grant extra years of credited service to participating employees. Under the Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan, our general policy is to grant extra years of credited service only where justified by special circumstances. Neither of our named executive officers who participate in the Joy Global Supplemental Pension Plan has been granted extra years of credited service.
Valuation method and material assumptions
Please see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014 for a discussion of the pension obligation valuation method underlying the amounts shown above and all material assumptions applied in quantifying the present value of the current accrued benefit.

(1) 
The amount reported for Mr. Doheny represents deferred stock units created in Fiscal 2014 in connection with the automatic deferral of restricted stock units upon vesting pursuant to the terms of his Fiscal 2009 restricted stock unit award agreement. The amounts reported for Messrs. Baker and Major represent voluntary deferrals of $20,889 and $82,330, respectively, into the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.

(2) 
The amounts shown as registrant contributions relate to the respective named executive officer’s participation in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan described below. Company contributions in the last fiscal year to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan are reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the All other compensation column.

(3) 
Aggregate earnings for Mr. Doheny represent the decrease in the value of his deferred stock units during Fiscal 2014, additional deferred stock units earned in lieu of dividends at a non-preferential rate, and the performance of investments he selected under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, described below. The aggregate earnings for Messrs. Sullivan, Baker, Major and Maritz are based on the performance of the investments selected by each executive officer under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan described below. The value of earnings attributable to deferred stock units paid in lieu of dividends to Messrs. Doheny and Sutherlin are as follows:

Earnings reported in this column are not earned at a preferential rate and accordingly are not reported as Fiscal 2014 compensation in the Summary Compensation Table.
Description of nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements
Prior to May 1, 2012, we maintained a supplemental nonqualified defined contribution retirement plan for certain non-union employees, including executive officers, hired after May 1, 2005. As of May 1, 2012, we maintain the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for certain non-union employees, including executive officers, regardless of date of hire. The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan provides fixed, matching, and, if applicable, individual replacement contributions based on eligible compensation that exceeds limits on compensation that are set annually by the Internal Revenue Code. Beginning in Fiscal 2013, eligible employees were permitted to defer portions of their compensation on a voluntary basis through the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, which permits deferral of 1% to 50% of annual base salary and 1% to 100% of annual bonus.
Prior to May 1, 2012, eligible employees received contributions equal to 4% of compensation exceeding limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code to mimic fixed contributions made on earnings below such limits. As of May 1, 2012, eligible employees receive contributions equal to 8% of compensation

50



exceeding limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code in order to mimic fixed and matching contributions made on earnings below such limits. If applicable, eligible employees receive individual replacement contributions, as discussed above, based on compensation exceeding limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code in order to mimic individual replacement contributions made on earnings below such limits.
Amounts earned on an employee’s plan account depend on the investment choice made by the employee, who selects from similar investment options available under the Retirement Savings Plan. As with the Retirement Savings Plan, the employee may change his or her investment choice as often as he or she may choose. The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan provides for varying distribution options, including lump sum or annual installment payments over 5, 10, or 15 years. The payment commencement date varies and occurs either as soon as administratively possible following death or disability or 180 days after separation from service. The payment commencement date is delayed by 5 years if an employee changes his or her initial distribution election. Contributions based on compensation earned prior to May 1, 2012 require five years of service to become vested and contributions based on compensation earned following May 1, 2012 are immediately vested.

(1) 
In the event of a termination of employment due to death or disability, unvested stock options and restricted stock units are vested in full, and a pro rata number of performance shares may be earned based on actual performance over the performance period.

(2) 
Based on performance through Fiscal 2014, performance share awards reported in this table use the actual payout for performance share awards granted in Fiscal 2012, which was 0% of targeted payout, and an assumed payout level of 50% of targeted payout for performance share awards granted in Fiscal 2013 and 25% of targeted payout for performance for performance share awards granted in Fiscal 2014, which represents the payout levels for achievement of threshold performance that were used for purposes of calculating the outstanding value of performance share awards at fiscal year-end on page 45.


52



(3) 
Other than at the discretion of the Human Resources and Nominating Committee exercised at the time of separation, an executive who is involuntarily terminated without cause or who retires will forfeit all unvested stock options and restricted stock units. A pro rata number of performance shares may be earned based on actual performance over the performance period.

(4) 
This triggering event requires both a “change of control” and within three years thereafter either a termination by the executive for “good reason” or by the corporation without “cause.”

(5) 
In the event of an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary termination for good reason in connection with a change in control, the accelerated equity value reflects the value that would be received from the vesting of unvested stock options and restricted stock units and the payout of performance shares at the higher of (i) the number earned based on performance as of the date of the change in control, or (ii) the pro rata target number of performance shares, at levels assuming the application of discretion by the Committee to reduce payouts to the levels awarded to employees other than executive officers, as is consistent with its historic practice. Based on performance through Fiscal 2014, performance shares would be earned at the same payout levels assumed in Footnote 2 above with respect to performance share awards granted in Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2013, and performance shares granted in Fiscal 2014 would be paid out at the number earned based on performance as of the change of control date.

(6) 
Any amounts payable upon a change of control would depend on the individual circumstances of each executive at the time a change of control occurs. The change of control employment agreements for our named executive officers provide for a reduction in payments if the executive would receive a greater net benefit by reducing the amount to a level that would eliminate any federal excise tax. Mr. Baker’s reported “total” potential payments upon a change of control effective at Fiscal 2014 year-end reflects the application of this provision, as discussed in Footnote 8 below. Reported amounts for our other named executive officers do not reflect application of this provision because the named executive officer would not have been subject to federal excise tax or, in the case of Mr. Sullivan, would not have received a greater net benefit as a result of a reduction in payments to eliminate federal excise tax.

(7) 
If Mr. Sullivan is terminated without cause, he would receive 12 months of severance pursuant to the terms of his offer of employment.

(8) 
For Mr. Baker, the amounts included in involuntary termination without cause reflects the terms of the Senior Executive Retention Agreement that we entered into with Mr. Baker on March 13, 2013, which supplements our standard change of control event to provide for certain payments and benefits in the event Mr. Baker is terminated without “cause” or if Mr. Baker terminates his employment with us for “good reason.” Additional information regarding the Senior Executive Retention Agreement is provided in Change of Control Payments on page 54. The total payment to Mr. Baker upon a change of control effective at Fiscal 2014 year-end has been reduced in order to eliminate the effect of federal excise tax, as discussed in Footnote 6 above. Had a change of control occurred, Mr. Baker would have had discretion to select which individual payments (shown in the table at their full amount) to reduce by an aggregate amount of $632,411 in order to render federal excise tax inapplicable.

(9) 
Mr. Sutherlin retired on February 1, 2014 and the amounts reported reflect Mr. Sutherlin's retirement on that date. In connection with his retirement, the Committee awarded Mr. Sutherlin a cash bonus of $500,000 in recognition of his contribution to our executive leadership process. The Committee also determined that (i) restricted stock units previously granted will become non-forfeitable and (ii) unvested stock options previously granted will become vested in full. The Committee’s decision affected 12,424 restricted stock units granted in Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2011 and additional restricted stock units accrued in lieu of dividends since the date of the initial grants. The restricted stock units will continue to vest and be settled pursuant to the terms of the award agreement applicable to each grant. The Committee’s decision also affected 10,666 stock options granted in Fiscal 2012 with an exercise price of $89.65 and 25,333 stock options granted in Fiscal 2013 with an exercise price of $56.18. The stock options will be exercisable at any time prior to February 1, 2017.
Triggering Events
Our change of control employment agreements and equity award agreements with our named executive officers define the termination events reflected in the table above as follows:
Change of Control. Any of the following would constitute a change of control under our change of control employment agreements and our equity award agreements:
 
any individual, entity, or group acquires beneficial ownership of 40% or more of either our outstanding shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of our outstanding voting securities, subject to limited exceptions;


53



a majority of the Board no longer consists of our current directors and other directors whose election or nomination for election by our shareholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the current directors and other similarly approved directors;

we are party to a business combination transaction, subject to limited exceptions; or

our shareholders approve a complete liquidation or dissolution of the corporation.
Good Reason. Any of the following would constitute termination by the executive for good reason under the change of control employment agreements we have with each of our named executive officers:
 
assignment of duties inconsistent with the executive’s current position, authority, duties, or responsibilities;

failure to pay the compensation called for by the particular change of control employment agreement or substantially altering employee benefits from those currently provided;

requiring relocation to an office at least 35 miles away, to a location other than our principal executive offices, or to travel substantially more on our business;

termination other than as permitted in the applicable change of control employment agreement; or

our successor’s failure to adhere to the terms of the applicable change of control employment agreement.
Other definitions. For the purposes of the table above, these terms have the following meanings:
 
“Disability” generally refers to a total and permanent incapacity of the executive to perform his or her duties.

“Cause” generally refers to: (A) willful and continued failure to perform employment duties in any material respect; (B) willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that materially harms us; or (C) conviction of, or a plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony (other than a traffic-related violation).
Change of Control Payments
Change of Control Employment Agreements. We have entered into change of control employment agreements with each of our named executive officers. The agreements provide that, in the event of a “change of control” (as defined in the agreements and summarized above), termination of the executive’s employment during the three years following the change of control, either by the executive for good reason or by us without cause (as such terms are defined in the agreements and summarized above), we will pay the executive a lump sum equal to two times (three times in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) the sum of the executive’s base salary and annual bonus. In addition, we will provide the executive with outplacement services as well as medical insurance and other welfare benefits for a period of two years (three years in the case of the Chief Executive Officer). We will also pay the executive accrued benefits as of the termination date, including a pro rata bonus, and compensate the executive for any issued stock options, performance shares, or restricted stock unit awards, as described below. The change

54



of control employment agreements also provide that, in the event the aggregate payment would cause a named executive officer to incur an excise tax obligation, we would reduce the aggregate payment to an amount that would result in the executive receiving a greater net benefit, thereby rendering the excise tax obligation inapplicable.
Randal W. Baker Senior Executive Retention Agreement. On March 13, 2013, we entered into a Senior Executive Retention Agreement with Mr. Baker that supplements the standard change of control agreement to provide for certain payments and benefits in the event Mr. Baker is terminated without “cause” or if Mr. Baker terminates his employment with us for “good reason,” as defined above but not requiring a change of control (each being referred to as a “Separation Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Separation Event, and subject to the timely execution of a release of claims against the corporation, Mr. Baker would receive (i) a cash payment equal to two times his annual base salary plus a prorated portion of his targeted annual bonus under the corporation’s annual cash incentive plan and (ii) medical and other welfare benefits and outplacement services for up to one year following the Separation Event. The Senior Executive Retention Agreement also amended equity award agreements between the corporation and Mr. Baker to provide that upon the occurrence of a Separation Event the (i) outstanding stock options covered by such awards would vest and become exercisable for the lesser of the remaining term of the option or 24 months from the termination date, (ii) outstanding restricted stock units covered by such awards would become non-forfeitable and would be settled at the same time the awards would be settled if they had become non-forfeitable due to his retirement, and (iii) performance shares covered by such awards would become non-forfeitable and result in the payment of the target amount of shares at the same time that payment would occur if he had been terminated without cause.
Equity Awards Agreements. We have issued stock options, performance shares, and restricted stock awards pursuant to our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (together, “Equity Awards”) to our named executive officers. Each of the Equity Awards provides for a payment in the event of a “change in control,” as that term is defined in Section 9(b) of our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. This definition is substantively identical to the definition of “change of control” in our change of control employment agreements, and the summary above is equally applicable to each term.
Pursuant to the terms of our nonqualified stock option agreements, in the event of a change in control, we will accelerate the vesting of all outstanding stock options and make such options fully exercisable, so that the executive will be eligible to receive the difference between the market price at the time of the change in control and the exercise price per share of Common Stock underlying the option, multiplied by the number of options exercised. Pursuant to the terms of our performance share agreements, in the event of a change in control we will provide a lump sum cash payment equal to the greater of (i) the value of the performance shares earned as of the date of the change in control, or (ii) the value of the pro rata target number of performance shares through the date of the change in control. In the event of a change in control, we will also cash out all outstanding restricted stock awards issued under our restricted stock unit award agreements, irrespective of whether such awards are vested, by providing a cash payment equal to the product of the executive’s outstanding restricted stock awards multiplied by the value of the shares on the date of the change in control.
Each of our equity award agreements, including those for our named executive officers, require that the party to such agreements will: (1) hold in a fiduciary capacity all secret or confidential information, knowledge, or data relating to us or our affiliates that the executive obtains during the course of his or her employment; (2) except on behalf of us or our affiliates, or with the prior written consent of our President or an Executive Vice President, or as otherwise required by law, not use, communicate, divulge or disseminate confidential information at any time during or after his or her employment for so long as

55



such use or disclosure would reasonably be likely to result in competitive harm to us; (3) for a period of 18 months beginning on the executive’s termination date, within the geographic area where we and our affiliates do business, except with the prior written permission of the President or an Executive Vice President, not work for, consult with, or advise directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant, owner, partner, member, director, or officer, or make passive investments of more than 3% of the equity in, or otherwise engage in business with, specified competitors or any related company engaged in competition with us where the executive’s knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information would be reasonably likely to place us at a competitive disadvantage; (4) for a period of two years beginning on the executive’s termination date, refrain from employing, soliciting the employment, or inducing for employment, or engagement as an independent contractor, on behalf of any individual or organization any person whom we have employed (other than a personal assistant hired to work directly for the executive) within the preceding three months; and (5) prior to and for a one-year period following the executive’s termination date, not directly or indirectly, disrupt, or attempt to interfere with or disrupt, the business relationship between us or any of our affiliates and any of our or their customers, suppliers, or employees. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing provisions, the executive’s stock options will expire and the executive will forfeit his or her right to receive performance shares or restricted stock unit awards. In addition, we may be entitled to injunctive or other relief.

56



Director Compensation
Compensation for our non-employee directors is reviewed annually by the Committee with the assistance of Cook & Co., and set by action of the Board of Directors. The Board’s goal in designing directors’ compensation is to provide a competitive package that will enable it to attract and retain highly skilled individuals with relevant experience and that reflects the time and talent required to serve on the board of a complex, multinational corporation.
Directors who are not employees receive an annual retainer fee of $85,000, as well as a fee of $1,500 for each Board and Board committee meeting attended. If the Chairman of the Board is not an employee of ours, he receives an additional annual retainer of $120,000. The chairs of the Audit Committee and Human Resources and Nominating Committee receive additional annual retainer fees of $15,000 and $12,500, respectively. The Lead Independent Director receives an annual retainer fee of $30,000.
In addition, as of the date of the annual meeting, each non-employee director receives a grant of restricted stock units awarded under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. In Fiscal 2014, the number of restricted stock units granted to each non-employee director was equal to $120,000 divided by the then current market price of our Common Stock. Restricted stock units granted in Fiscal 2014 to directors holding at least 10,000 shares of our Common Stock (including vested restricted stock units) will vest and become non-forfeitable one year after their grant and will be paid out on such date, unless the director elected to defer settlement of such units. Restricted stock units granted in Fiscal 2014 to directors owning fewer than 10,000 shares (including vested restricted stock units) will vest and become non-forfeitable one year after their grant date and will be paid out one year after the director’s duties on the Board terminate. Vesting of restricted stock units will be accelerated in the event a director’s service on the Board terminates by reason of the director’s death or disability or due to a change in control, and restricted stock units subject to acceleration in this manner will be settled as soon as practicable (but no more than 30 days) after such event. Restricted stock units granted to directors prior to Fiscal 2010 became non-forfeitable one year after their grant and will be paid out one year after the director’s duties on the Board terminate. Directors who are our employees earned no additional remuneration for their service as directors. Our Corporate Governance Principles encourage directors to own shares of our Common Stock having a market value equal to at least three times their annual cash retainer. The terms of the restricted stock units granted annually to non-employee directors effectively require each non-employee director to hold an equity interest (either in shares of Common Stock or vested restricted stock units) in excess of this amount.

The beneficial ownership information presented in this proxy statement is based on information furnished by the specified persons and is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, the number of shares reflected in this column includes (i) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are exercisable within 60 days of January 23, 2015, and (ii) shares to be received upon the vesting of restricted stock units within 60 days of January 23, 2015. This information is not necessarily to be construed as an admission of beneficial ownership for other purposes.
Except as noted below, none of the shares shown as owned by directors or executive officers have been pledged as collateral.
Named executive officers and directors also hold restricted stock units that are not included in the beneficial ownership table because vesting will not occur within 60 days of January 23, 2015. The amounts of restricted stock units held by named executive officers and directors are described elsewhere in this proxy statement.
The amounts above include the following number of shares such person or group may acquire upon (1) exercise of stock options exercisable within 60 days of January 23, 2015, (2) shares such person or group has a right to acquire upon settlement of deferred stock units, and (3) shares to be distributed to such person or group upon settlement of restricted stock units within 60 days of January 23, 2015:

Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to our bylaws, we indemnify our officers and directors in the event claims are made against them arising out of their service as an officer or director. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors requiring us to indemnify them against claims made against them arising out of their service as an officer or director. Other than these indemnification arrangements, which the Board believes are consistent with the practice of public companies of our size, there were no other relationships or related transactions during Fiscal 2014 involving any director or executive officer (or any members of their immediate families) to which we or any of our subsidiaries were a party that must be disclosed under SEC rules.
Our Worldwide Business Conduct Policy prohibits the following conflict of interest situations, unless approved in accordance with our Related Person Transactions Policy, as described below, or by the Chief Executive Officer with respect to those situations involving employees who are not executive officers or “Related Persons,” as defined in the Related Person Transactions Policy:

any ownership interest in any customer, supplier, or competitor, other than a nominal amount of stock in a publicly traded company;

any consulting or employment relationship with any customer, supplier, or competitor;

service on the board of directors of any customer, supplier, or competitor;

any outside business activity which competes with any of our businesses or that interferes with the director, officer, or employee’s duties and responsibilities;

supervising, reviewing, or having influence over the job evaluation, pay, or benefits of any close relative;

taking advantage of a corporate opportunity discovered in the course of employment with us;

selling anything to us or buying anything from us; and

using corporate assets for other business or personal endeavors.
Our Related Person Transactions Policy establishes procedures for the review and approval or ratification of all related person transactions, as defined by SEC rules. The Related Person Transactions Policy requires the material facts of any proposed related person transaction to be submitted to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as soon as it is practicable to do so. The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall then determine whether, based on the facts of the transaction, the question will be submitted to the full Audit Committee for further consideration. The Audit Committee will approve related person transactions only when it determines that the transaction in question is not inconsistent with our best interests.
The Worldwide Business Conduct Policy and the Related Person Transactions Policy are posted on our website: www.joyglobal.com.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee has presented the following report for inclusion in this proxy statement.
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that is available on our website, www.joyglobal.com. The Audit Committee’s specific responsibilities are summarized under “Corporate Governance - Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert.”
Management, the independent registered public accounting firm (“Independent Auditor”) and the Audit Committee each have different roles and responsibilities with respect to our financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our consolidated financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws, and regulations. Management is also responsible for objectively reviewing and evaluating the adequacy, effectiveness, and quality of our system of internal control. Our Independent Auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and for expressing an opinion, based on the results of their audit, whether the consolidated financial statements are fairly presented in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, the Independent Auditor is also responsible for expressing opinions on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the conduct of these activities and appointing our Independent Auditor. The Committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management, the internal auditors, and the Independent Auditor in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, including with respect to information provided and representations made to it by management and on the report on our consolidated financial statements that it receives from our Independent Auditor.
In performing its responsibilities in Fiscal 2014, the Audit Committee met with the Independent Auditor nine times and met with management nine times.
Management represented to the Committee that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Committee has reviewed and discussed the financial statements with management and the Independent Auditor. The Committee discussed with the Independent Auditor the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard AU Section 380 (Communication with Audit Committees). This review included a discussion of the quality of the corporation’s accounting principles, the selection of and modification to significant accounting policies, the reasonableness of estimates, and the disclosures in the corporation’s financial statements and the notes thereto.
The Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the Independent Auditor required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) and the Committee discussed with the Independent Auditor that firm’s independence. These disclosures and discussion informed the Committee of any relationships between Ernst & Young or any of its affiliates and the corporation or any persons in financial reporting oversight roles for the corporation in order to assist the Committee in evaluating Ernst & Young’s independence.

Based upon the Committee’s discussions with management and the Independent Auditor and the Committee’s review of the audited financial statements and the representations of management and the report of the Independent Auditor to the Committee, the Committee recommended to the Board of

AUDITORS, AUDIT FEES, AND AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE
Ernst & Young LLP served as our Independent Auditor for Fiscal 2014. A representative of Ernst & Young is expected to be present at the 2015 annual meeting and will be given the opportunity to make a statement and answer questions that may be asked by shareholders.
Audit Fees
Ernst & Young LLP billed us a total of $3,076,658 in fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for Fiscal 2014, the audit of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and the reviews of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for Fiscal 2014. These fees are for services that are normally provided by Ernst & Young in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements including the annual consolidated audit, foreign statutory audits, consents, and accounting consultation for matters that were addressed during the audit work. Fees billed in this category for Fiscal 2013 totaled $3,201,250.
Audit-Related Fees
Ernst & Young LLP did not bill us for audit-related fees and services in either Fiscal 2014 or Fiscal 2013. These fees are for assurance and related services provided by Ernst & Young that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit, including due diligence consultations, accounting consultations not specifically linked to audit work, and fees for access to electronic accounting research.
Tax Fees
Ernst & Young LLP billed us a total of $322,792 in tax fees in Fiscal 2014. These fees are for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning provided by Ernst & Young that are related to various federal, state, and international issues and entity restructuring. Fees billed in this category for Fiscal 2013 totaled $517,457.
All Other Fees
Ernst & Young LLP did not bill us for fees in the “All Other Fees” category in either Fiscal 2014 or Fiscal 2013.
Audit Committee Pre-approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the Independent Auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. Based on information presented to the Audit Committee by Ernst & Young and our management, the Audit Committee has pre-approved defined audit, audit-related, tax, and other services for Fiscal 2014 up to specified cost levels. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The policy requires the Independent Auditor to provide detailed back-up documentation regarding the specific services to be provided. The policy also prohibits the Independent Auditor from providing services that are prohibited under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Although Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X permits the Audit Committee to waive its pre-approval requirement under certain circumstances, the Audit Committee did not rely on that rule in approving any fees reported under the headings Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees, and All Other Fees.
