Our Compensation Facts

As administered by our Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), our compensation program seeks to closely link the financial interests of our Company’s executives with those of our stockholders. In making compensation decisions at the outset of fiscal 2015 and throughout the year, the Committee sought to reinforce the linkage between Company performance and executive compensation. In keeping with this objective, base salaries for executive officers in fiscal 2015 remained largely flat, with a continued emphasis on long-term incentives and performance-based cash incentives and equity.

The Committee uses the following guidelines in our compensation program to help achieve this overarching goal.


		What We Do:				What We Do Not Do:
		We closely link performance-based rewards with the achievement of performance goals.				Our compensation plans do not have minimum guaranteed payout levels.

		We cap payouts under our plans to discourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by our executives.				We do not permit hedging and short sales of our stock.

		Two-thirds of our long-term incentives are performance-based.				We do not permit repricing of underwater stock options without stockholder approval.

		We emphasize long-term incentives to align executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.				We do not provide tax gross-ups for our executives (other than with respect to relocation benefits and required spousal travel).

		We have double-trigger change in control provisions.				We do not provide material perquisites.

		We have stock ownership guidelines that encourage ownership and further align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.
		We have a representative and relevant peer group.

		Our Committee retains an independent compensation consultant.

		We hold an annual advisory vote on executive compensation.

		We seek feedback on executive compensation through stockholder engagement.

		We have adopted a compensation recovery, or “clawback,” policy pertaining to both cash and equity incentive-based compensation.

		We have a mandatory minimum vesting period of one year for equity awards.

		We limited the aggregate fair value of equity awards granted in any calendar year to any outside director to no more than $800,000.

		We cap payouts under our severance policies.

2015 Elements of Compensation


Element		Purpose and Philosophy

Base Salary		• Provides executive officers with financial stability and predictable cash flow; and • Determined by evaluating the executive’s role within the Company, experience, performance, and potential for development, as well as base salaries of comparable roles within peer group companies and the broader marketplace.

Short-Term Cash Incentives		• Rewards the achievement of annual Company and individual performance goals; • Expressed as a targeted percentage of base salary determined with reference to the peer group companies and the broader marketplace; and • Participant may earn between zero and 250% of target, depending both upon Company and individual performance.

Long-Term Incentives		• Directly links a significant portion of total executive officer compensation to the market value of Company stock, while promoting retention through multi-year vesting; • Performance Share Units (PSUs) are earned based upon the extent to which annual Company financial targets are achieved with as few as zero and as many as 200% of targeted PSUs possible. Earned units are then subject to multi-year vesting, promoting continued linkage to Company stock price while also promoting retention; • Market Share Units (MSUs) use a performance measure that is based on relative total shareholder return over one-, two- and three-year periods instead of annual financial performance metrics to integrate a longer, multi-year performance period into the Company’s equity compensation program; and • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) represent a more stable equity-based compensation vehicle, ensuring linkage to Company stock price performance while promoting retention over a multi-year vesting period.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Except as otherwise indicated, the following table and accompanying footnotes show information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the record date by:

•

each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock;

•

each current director and nominee for director;

•

each named executive officer; and

•

all directors and executive officers as a group.

As of the dates indicated in footnotes (3) through (6) below, publicly available information indicated that certain stockholders were beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The information in the table below is as reported in their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The percentages noted in the table are as provided by such beneficial owners as of the date of their filing and not as of December 29, 2015. We are not aware of any other beneficial owner of more than five percent of our common stock.

Shares of common stock underlying options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. As of the record date, 31,367,895 shares of common stock were outstanding.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Directors and persons who are considered “officers” of the Company for purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and greater than 10% stockholders are required to file reports with the SEC showing their holdings of and transactions in the Company’s securities. Our employees generally prepare these reports on the basis of information obtained from each director and officer. Based on the information available to us, we believe that all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be filed by the Company’s directors, executive officers, and greater than 10% owners during the last fiscal year were filed on time.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Annual Elections

Directors are elected each year at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to hold office until our next annual meeting or until a qualified replacement is duly elected. Our Bylaws specify that the Board of Directors will establish by vote how many directors will serve on the Board. The Board of Directors has currently set the number of directors at nine, to be reduced to eight as of the Annual Meeting, as further discussed below.

Majority Voting Standard

Director Nominee Selection Process

Our Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee selects nominees on the basis of recognized achievements and their ability to bring various skills and experience to the deliberations of the Board, as described in more detail in the Corporate Governance Guidelines available on the “Investors” page of our website at www.fico.com. The Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee also strongly values diversity and seeks opportunities to promote diversity within the Company’s leadership. This viewpoint is reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee Charter, both of which include diversity as a consideration the Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee takes into account when assessing our incumbents and candidates.

One of our current directors, Duane White, will be retiring from service on the Board effective immediately after the Annual Meeting and will, accordingly, not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Based on the recommendation of the Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee, the Board has determined not to fill the resulting vacancy and has accordingly fixed the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting at eight.

All of the current nominees to the Board were recommended as nominees by the Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee, and the full Board voted unanimously to designate them as nominees for election at the Annual Meeting. All of the nominees are presently serving on our Board and all have been previously elected by our stockholders except for Mr. McMorris.

Stockholder-Recommended Director Candidates

Our Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee considers director candidates recommended by stockholders who are entitled to vote for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and comply with the notice procedures described below. A stockholder who wishes to nominate a candidate must send a written notice to the FICO Corporate Secretary. Each notice must include the following information about the nominee:

•

Name, age, and business and residence addresses;

•

Principal occupation or employment;

•

Class, series and number of shares of FICO beneficially owned, and additional detailed “ownership information” regarding derivatives, voting arrangements, dividend interests, and related matters (as described in detail in our Bylaws);

•

A statement of the person’s citizenship; and

•

Any other information that must be disclosed about nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including the nominee’s written consent to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected).

Each notice must also include the following information about the nominating stockholder and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made:

•

The name and address, as they appear in our records;

•

The class, series and number of shares of FICO beneficially owned, and additional detailed “ownership information” regarding derivatives, voting arrangements, dividend interests, and related matters (as described in detail in our Bylaws);

•

A description of all agreements pursuant to which the nomination is being made, and any material interest of such stockholder or beneficial owner, or any affiliates or associates of such person, in such nomination;

•

A representation that the stockholder giving notice intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice;

•

A representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner intends, or is part of a group that intends, to deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of FICO’s outstanding shares required to elect the nominee or otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of the nomination; and

•

Any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

We may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by us to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as a director.

Our Corporate Secretary must receive this information not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting. In the case of an Annual Meeting which is held more than 25 days before or after such anniversary date, in order for notice by the stockholder to be considered timely, it must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date of the first public announcement of the date of the Annual Meeting.

Director Nominees

Set forth below is biographical information for each director nominee, as well as information regarding the particular experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of the nominees that led the Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee to conclude that they should serve as members of the Board. Each of these nominees is currently serving as a member of the Board.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Battle, Gianforte, Kelly, Kirsner, McMorris and Rey and Ms. Rees meet its independence standards, which are set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines on the “Investors” page of our website at www.fico.com. The Board defines an independent director as one who has no material relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. In addition, independent directors must meet the requirements to be considered independent directors as defined under the current rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Mr. Lansing is not independent, as he is employed by us as our CEO.

Each of the nominees has consented to being named in the proxy statement and to serve if elected. If any nominee becomes unavailable to serve, however, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote the shares represented by the proxy for the election of such other person or persons as may be nominated or designated by the Board of Directors, unless either they are directed by the proxy to do otherwise or the Board of Directors instead reduces the number of directors.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE 2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Background

On November 30, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted the Fair Isaac Corporation 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2012 LTIP”), subject to stockholder approval. Our stockholders approved the 2012 LTIP at the annual meeting held on February 7, 2012. As adopted, the 2012 LTIP authorized the issuance of up to 6,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to awards granted thereunder. On December 17, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to increase the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2012 LTIP by an additional 4,100,000, which our stockholders approved at the annual meeting held on February 11, 2014. Consequently, the 2012 LTIP currently authorizes the issuance of up to 10,100,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to awards granted thereunder. Neither unused shares from predecessor equity plans nor any shares subject to awards made under predecessor equity awards that are forfeited or otherwise do not result in the issuance of shares are available for grants under the 2012 LTIP.

As of December 15, 2015, there were 1,107,848 shares of our common stock remaining available for awards under the 2012 LTIP, which is the only plan under which equity awards can currently be made to our employees and non-employee directors. Because of the importance we attach to providing competitive levels of equity-based compensation to our employees, and in light of our pattern of share usage during recent years, we believe that the shares remaining under the 2012 LTIP make it necessary to seek stockholder approval to increase the number of shares authorized under the plan at this time.

As a result, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) recommended, and on January 7, 2016 our Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to increase the aggregate number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2012 LTIP by an additional 2,500,000, to an aggregate of 12,600,000 shares (the “Share Increase Amendment”).

The Committee also recommended, and on December 8, 2015 our Board of Directors adopted, two amendments to the 2012 LTIP in order to incorporate two additional compensation best practices: imposing a minimum one-year vesting period for awards generally and a maximum fair value limit of $800,000 on annual equity awards that may be granted to any non-employee director. Although both of these two amendments are effective, the Board of Directors is nevertheless requesting as part of this proposal that our stockholders also ratify the limit on annual equity awards to our non-employee directors (the “Director Compensation Amendment,” and together with the Share Increase Amendment, the “Amendments”).

Apart from the three amendments described above, the 2012 LTIP has not been modified in any other respect. The Board believes that the changes to the 2012 LTIP reflected in the three amendments are in the best interest of our stockholders.

Stockholder approval of the Share Increase Amendment is being sought in order to (i) satisfy the stockholder approval requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) obtain stockholder re-approval of the material terms of awards under the 2012 LTIP that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), including the business criteria on which performance goals may be based and the maximum awards that may be made to any individual, and (iii) obtain stockholder approval of the increased number of shares that may be subject to incentive stock options under Code Section 422. Stockholder ratification of the Director Compensation Amendment is being sought for purposes of Delaware corporate law as a stockholder action bearing specifically on the magnitude of compensation that may be provided to non-employee directors.

If our stockholders do not approve the Share Increase Amendment and ratify the Director Compensation Amendment, the 2012 LTIP will remain subject to its existing 10,100,000 share reserve, of which 1,107,848 shares remain available for grant as of December 15, 2015. The limit on annual equity compensation to directors will remain in place.

Determination of Share Increase

The following table summarizes information regarding equity awards outstanding and available for future grant after taking into account the annual equity awards granted and vested on December 8, 2015 and equity awards vested on December 13, 2015:


	Shares Subject to Options Outstanding⁽¹⁾		Full-Value Awards Outstanding⁽¹⁾		Shares Remaining Available for Future Grant⁽²⁾
		2,000,701		1,832,088		1,107,848
Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Options	$	39.86
Weighted-Average Remaining Term of Options		4.16

⁽¹⁾	Represents awards made under the 2012 LTIP and predecessor plan (1992 Long-term Incentive Plan).

⁽²⁾	The 2012 LTIP is currently the only plan with shares available for grant to employees and non-employee directors at FICO.

In making its recommendation to the Board of Directors to increase the 2012 LTIP’s share reserve by 2,500,000 shares through the Amendments, the Committee considered the factors discussed below.

Importance of Long-Term Equity Incentives. Long-term equity incentives play a critical role in our executive compensation program, motivating executives to make decisions that focus on creating long-term value for our stockholders, aligning executives’ interests with the interests of stockholders and serving as an effective employment inducement and retention device. The Committee considers our ability to continue to provide a competitive level of long-term equity incentives to be critical to our success.

Historical Burn Rate. The Company is committed to managing its use of equity incentives prudently to balance the benefits equity compensation brings to our compensation program with the dilution it causes our stockholders. As part of its analysis when considering adoption of the Amendments, the Committee considered our “burn rate,” or the number of shares subject to equity awards granted in each of the past three fiscal years expressed as a percentage of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each of those fiscal years.

The Committee noted that our three-year average burn rate percentage is below the suggested burn-rate benchmark published by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., a leading proxy advisory service (“ISS”), for our industry classification. The Committee believes that our equity grant practices during those years have been in the Company’s and our stockholders’ best interests, noting in particular that our active share repurchase program has elevated our burn rate percentage over the past several years. Over the course of fiscal 2014 and 2015, we have repurchased approximately 5.4 million shares of our common stock from the market (not counting shares delivered by employees in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations). Importantly, these share repurchases have returned value to our stockholders and have mitigated the dilutive effect of our equity grants. However, the repurchases have increased our burn rate percentage by shrinking the number of shares outstanding (the denominator in the burn rate calculation) by approximately 11%. The Committee believes that the share repurchase activity has been beneficial to our Company and its stockholders and that the benefits outweigh the inflation of our burn rate numbers.

Shareholder Value Transfer Test. When deciding on an appropriate number of shares to add to the 2012 LTIP’s share reserve, the Committee engaged Compensia, Inc. to estimate the shareholder value transfer of the request. Compensia evaluated the value of available shares and plan awards as a percentage of the Company’s market capitalization and determined that the addition of 2,500,000 shares to the 2012 LTIP share reserve was reasonable.

Expected Duration. The Committee expects that the shares available for future awards, including the additional shares if the Share Increase Amendment is approved, will be sufficient for currently anticipated awards under the 2012 LTIP at least through the next annual meeting of stockholders. Expectations regarding future

share usage under the 2012 LTIP are based on a number of assumptions such as future growth in the population of eligible participants, including the need to make sizable inducement grants for hires made in the executive ranks and the consequences of acquiring other companies; the rate of future compensation increases; the rate at which shares are returned to the 2012 LTIP reserve upon awards’ expiration, forfeiture or cash settlement; the level at which performance-based awards pay out; and the future performance of our stock price. While the Committee believes that the assumptions it used are reasonable, future share usage will differ from current expectations to the extent that actual events differ from the assumptions utilized.

Description of the 2012 LTIP as Proposed to Be Amended

The major features of the 2012 LTIP as recently amended and as proposed to be amended are summarized below, and references to the “2012 LTIP” in the following discussion assume that the Share Increase Amendment has been approved by our stockholders and becomes effective. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2012 LTIP, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit A. A stockholder may also obtain a copy of the 2012 LTIP from the Company upon request.

Compensation Best Practices

The 2012 LTIP incorporates a range of compensation best practices, including the following key features:

•

No Repricing or Replacement of Underwater Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. The 2012 LTIP prohibits, without stockholder approval, actions to reprice, replace or repurchase options or SARs when the exercise price per share of an option or SAR exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares.

•

No In-the-Money Option or Stock Appreciation Right Grants. The 2012 LTIP prohibits the grant of options or SARs with an exercise price less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (except in the limited case of “substitute awards” as described below).

•

No Single-Trigger Accelerated Vesting/Payment Following a Change in Control. The 2012 LTIP provides that payment for outstanding awards in connection with a merger or acquisition in which the Company is not the surviving entity will only be made if and to the extent that the successor entity does not continue, assume or replace such awards. The 2012 LTIP does not provide for automatic acceleration of vesting under any change in control situation.

•

No Liberal Share Counting. Shares delivered or withheld to pay the exercise price or satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with any award, shares repurchased by the Company using option exercise proceeds, and any shares subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR upon its exercise, may not be used again for new grants.

•

Independent Administration. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, which consists of only independent directors, has overall administrative authority over the 2012 LTIP, and only this committee (or our Board acting as a whole) may make awards to executive officers and directors.

•

One-Year Minimum Vesting Period. Service-based awards under the 2012 LTIP are subject to a minimum initial vesting period of one year. Awards under the 2012 LTIP whose vesting is subject to satisfying performance goals are subject to a minimum performance period of one year.

•

Limit on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. The aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted during any calendar year to any non-employee member of our Board of Directors (excluding awards granted in lieu of compensation otherwise payable in cash) may not exceed $800,000.

•

Dividend Restrictions. Any dividends, distributions or dividend equivalents payable with respect to the unvested portion of a performance-based award will be subject to the same restrictions applicable to the underlying shares, units or share equivalents.

•

Compensation Recovery Policy. Incentive-based compensation under the 2012 LTIP is subject to the Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy adopted by the Board of Directors and

described in this proxy statement under “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy.” The Committee may also provide that awards under the 2012 LTIP shall also be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recovery upon the occurrence of participant misconduct.

Eligible Participants

All employees, consultants and advisors of our Company or any subsidiary, as well as all non-employee directors of the Company, will be eligible to receive awards under the 2012 LTIP. As of December 8, 2015, there were approximately 2,800 persons employed by our Company and its subsidiaries, approximately 250 persons providing service to our Company and its subsidiaries as contractors, and eight non-employee members of our Board of Directors, all of whom would be eligible to receive awards under the 2012 LTIP.

Administration

The 2012 LTIP is administered by the Committee. To the extent consistent with applicable law or stock exchange rules, the Committee may delegate its duties, power and authority under the 2012 LTIP to any of its members, to officers of the Company with respect to awards to participants who are not directors or executive officers of the Company or, in connection with non-discretionary administrative duties, to one or more agents or advisors.

The Committee has the authority to determine the persons to whom awards will be granted; the timing and size of any cash incentive award; the timing, type and number of shares covered by each equity award; and the terms and conditions of the awards. The Committee may also establish and modify rules to administer the 2012 LTIP, interpret the 2012 LTIP and any related award agreement, cancel or suspend an award or the exercisability of an award, or modify the terms of outstanding awards to the extent permitted under the 2012 LTIP. Unless an amendment to the terms of an award is necessary to comply with applicable laws or stock exchange rules, a participant who would be adversely affected by such an amendment must consent to it.

Except in connection with equity restructurings and other situations in which share adjustments are specifically authorized, the 2012 LTIP also prohibits the Committee from repricing any outstanding “underwater” option or SAR without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders. For these purposes, “repricing” includes amending the terms of an underwater option or SAR to lower the exercise price, canceling an underwater option or SAR and granting in exchange replacement options or SARs having a lower exercise price or other forms of awards, or repurchasing the underwater option or SAR.

Subject to certain limits in the 2012 LTIP, the Committee may also establish subplans or modify the terms of awards under the 2012 LTIP with respect to participants residing outside of the United States or employed by a non-U.S. subsidiary in order to comply with local legal requirements or meet the objectives of the 2012 LTIP.

Available Shares and Limitations on Awards

A maximum of 12,600,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP, any or all of which may be the subject of incentive stock option awards. The shares of common stock to be issued under the 2012 LTIP are either authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. Under the terms of the 2012 LTIP, the number of shares of common stock subject to options or SARs granted to any one participant during a calendar year may not exceed 1,000,000, and the number of shares subject to performance-based awards other than options or SARs granted to any one participant during any calendar year may not exceed 1,000,000. Further, the aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted during any calendar year to any non-employee member of our Board of Directors (excluding awards granted at the election of such non-employee member in lieu of all or any portion of retainers and fees otherwise payable in cash) may not exceed $800,000. These share limitations are subject to adjustment for changes in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, as described below. Payouts of performance-based awards denominated in cash may not exceed $6,000,000 to any one participant during any calendar year.

Shares of common stock that are issued under the 2012 LTIP or that are potentially issuable pursuant to outstanding awards will reduce the maximum number of shares remaining available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP by one share for each share issued or issuable pursuant to an option or SAR award, and by 2.17 shares for each share issued or issuable pursuant to an award other than an option or SAR.

Any shares of common stock subject to an award under the 2012 LTIP that expires, is forfeited, is settled or paid in cash or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of such shares will, to the extent of such expiration, forfeiture, settlement or non-issuance, automatically again become available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP. Each share that again becomes available for issuance will be added back as (i) one share if the share was subject to an option or SAR granted under the 2012 LTIP, or (ii) as 2.17 shares if the share was subject to an award other than an option or SAR granted under the 2012 LTIP. However, any shares tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price or satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with any award, any shares repurchased by the Company using option exercise proceeds and any shares subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR on its exercise may not be used again for new grants.

Awards granted under the 2012 LTIP upon the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding equity awards previously granted by an entity acquired by our Company or any of its subsidiaries (referred to as “substitute awards”) will not reduce the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2012 LTIP. Additionally, if a company acquired by our Company or any of its subsidiaries has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of that pre-existing plan may be used for awards under the 2012 LTIP and will not reduce the shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 LTIP, but only if the awards are made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to our Company or any of its subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition.

Share Adjustment Provisions

If certain transactions with the Company’s stockholders occur that cause the per share value of the common stock to change, such as stock splits, spin-offs, stock dividends or certain recapitalizations (referred to as “equity restructurings”), the Committee will equitably adjust (i) the class of shares issuable and the maximum number and kind of shares subject to the 2012 LTIP, (ii) outstanding awards as to the class, number of shares and price per share, and (iii) award limitations prescribed by the 2012 LTIP. Other types of transactions may also affect the common stock, such as reorganizations, mergers or consolidations. If there is such a transaction and the Committee determines that adjustments of the type previously described in connection with equity restructurings would be appropriate to prevent any dilution or enlargement of benefits under the 2012 LTIP, the Committee will make such adjustments as it may deem equitable.

Types of Awards

The 2012 LTIP allows the Company to award eligible recipients stock options, SARs, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards. These types of awards are described in more detail below.

Options. Employees of our Company or any subsidiary may be awarded options to purchase common stock that qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and any eligible recipient may be awarded options to purchase common stock that do not qualify as incentive stock options, referred to as “non-statutory options.” The exercise price to be paid by a participant at the time an option is exercised may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of grant, unless the option is granted as a substitute award as described earlier. “Fair market value” under the 2012 LTIP as of any date means the closing sale price for a share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on that date. On December 8, 2015, the closing sale price of a share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $91.91.

The total purchase price of the shares to be purchased upon exercise of an option will be paid by the participant in cash unless the Committee allows exercise payments to be made, in whole or in part, (i) by means of a

broker-assisted sale and remittance program, (ii) by delivery to the Company (or attestation as to ownership) of shares of common stock already owned by the participant, or (iii) by a “net exercise” of the option in which a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the option are withheld by the Company. Any shares delivered or withheld in payment of an exercise price will be valued at their fair market value on the exercise date.

An option will vest and become exercisable at such time, in such installments and subject to such conditions as may be determined by the Committee, and no option may have a term greater than 10 years from its date of grant.

The aggregate fair market value of shares of common stock with respect to which incentive stock options granted to any participant may first become exercisable during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. Any incentive stock options that become exercisable in excess of this amount will be treated as non-statutory options.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR is the right to receive a payment from the Company, in the form of shares of common stock, cash or a combination of both, equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of a specified number of shares of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR, and (ii) the aggregate exercise price under the SAR of that number of shares. SARs will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the 2012 LTIP, as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee will have the sole discretion to determine the form in which payment of SARs will be made to a participant.

The exercise price per share of a SAR will be determined by the Committee, but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of grant, unless the SAR is granted as a substitute award as described earlier. A SAR will vest and become exercisable at such time, in such installments and subject to such conditions as may be determined by the Committee, and no SAR may have a term greater than 10 years from its date of grant.

Restricted Stock Awards. A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that vests at such times and in such installments as may be determined by the Committee. Until it vests, the shares subject to the award are subject to restrictions on transferability and the possibility of forfeiture. The Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of restricted stock awards as it deems appropriate, including that the participant remain continuously employed by, or in the service of, the Company or a subsidiary for a certain period or that the participant or the Company (or any subsidiary or business unit of the Company) satisfy specified performance criteria. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, a participant who receives a restricted stock award will have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the shares of restricted stock.

Stock Unit Awards. A stock unit award is a right to receive the fair market value of one or more shares of common stock, payable in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both, that vests at such times and in such installments as may be determined by the Committee. Until it vests, a stock unit award is subject to restrictions on transferability and the possibility of forfeiture. Stock unit awards will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the 2012 LTIP, as may be determined by the Committee.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant awards of common stock and other awards that are valued by reference to and/or payable in common stock under the 2012 LTIP. The Committee has complete discretion in determining the terms and conditions of such awards.

Cash Incentive Awards. The Committee may grant performance-based awards that are settled in cash or other forms of awards under the 2012 LTIP or a combination thereof. The Committee has complete discretion in determining the amount, terms and conditions of such awards.

Expiration and Vesting

Each award agreement will set forth the date of expiration of each award, which may not be more than 10 years from the grant date.

Awards that vest based solely on service-based vesting conditions will be subject to a vesting period of not less than one year from the grant date and awards with vesting subject to satisfaction of performance goals over a

performance period will be subject to a performance period of not less than one year. These minimum vesting and performance periods will not, however, apply in connection with (a) a change in control, (b) termination of service due to death or disability, (c) a substitute award that does not reduce the vesting period of the award being replaced, (d) awards made to non-employee members of our Board of Directors who elect to receive awards in exchange for cash compensation to which they would otherwise be or become entitled, and (e) awards involving an aggregate number of shares not in excess of 5% of the share reserve of 12,600,000.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

No dividends are payable on options or SARs. Any dividends or distributions paid with respect to unvested shares of restricted stock will be subject to the same restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate, except for regular cash dividends on shares that are subject only to service-based vesting conditions. The Committee may provide that a recipient of a stock unit award or other stock-based award will be entitled to receive dividend equivalents on the units or other share equivalents subject to the award based on dividends actually declared on our outstanding common stock. Any dividend equivalents paid with respect to unvested units or share equivalents that are subject to performance-based vesting will be subject to the same restrictions as the units or share equivalents to which such dividend equivalents relate.

Term and Amendment of the 2012 LTIP

Unless terminated earlier, the 2012 LTIP will terminate on November 30, 2021. Awards outstanding under the 2012 LTIP at the time it is terminated may continue to be exercised, earned or become free of restriction, according to their terms. The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the 2012 LTIP or any portion of it at any time. The Board of Directors may amend the 2012 LTIP from time to time, but no amendments to the 2012 LTIP will be effective without stockholder approval if such approval is required under applicable laws or regulations or under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, including stockholder approval for any amendment that seeks to modify the prohibition on underwater option repricing discussed above.

Termination, suspension or amendment of the 2012 LTIP will not adversely affect any outstanding award without the consent of the affected participant, except for amendments necessary to comply with applicable laws or stock exchange rules.

Transferability of Awards

In general, no right or interest in any award under the 2012 LTIP may be assigned, transferred or encumbered by a participant, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. However, the Committee may provide that an award (other than an incentive stock option) may be transferable by gift to a participant’s family member or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. Any permitted transferee of such an award will remain subject to all the terms and conditions of the award applicable to the participant.

Performance-Based Compensation Under Section 162(m)

The Committee may grant restricted stock, stock unit, other stock-based awards or cash incentive awards under the 2012 LTIP to employees who are or may be “covered employees” that are intended to be “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code in order to preserve the deductibility of those awards for federal income tax purposes. Under current IRS interpretations, “covered employees” of a company are its chief executive officer and any other executive officer (other than the chief financial officer) who is among the three other most highly compensated executive officers employed by the company at a year end. Participants are entitled to receive payment for a Section 162(m) performance-based award for any given performance period only to the extent that pre-established performance goals set by the Committee for the performance period are satisfied. Options and SARs granted under the 2012 LTIP need not be conditioned upon the achievement of performance goals in order to constitute performance-based compensation for Section 162(m) purposes.

The pre-established performance goals set by the Committee must be based on one or more of the following performance criteria specified in the 2012 LTIP: revenue or net sales; gross profit; operating profit; net income;

earnings before income taxes; earnings before one or more of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments; profitability as measured by return ratios (including, but not limited to, return on assets, return on equity, return on investment and return on revenues or gross profit) or by the degree to which any of the foregoing earnings measures exceed a percentage of revenues or gross profit; cash flow; market share; margins (including one or more of gross, operating and net earnings margins); stock price; total stockholder return; asset quality; non-performing assets; operating assets; operating expenses; balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; improvement in or attainment of expense levels or cost savings; operating asset turnover; accounts receivable levels (including measured in terms of days sales outstanding); economic value added; improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; employee retention; customer satisfaction; implementation or completion of critical projects; and growth in customer base.

The Committee may select one criterion or multiple criteria for measuring performance, and the measurement may be expressed in absolute amounts, on a per share basis (basic or diluted), relative to one or more other performance measures, as a growth rate or change from preceding periods, or as a comparison to the performance of specified companies or a published or special index or other external measures, and may relate to one or any combination of Company, subsidiary, business unit or individual performance. The Committee will define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the performance goals based on the performance criteria it selects to use in any performance period and will establish such performance goals within the time period prescribed by, and will otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m). In determining the actual amount to be paid with respect to an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the Committee may reduce (but not increase) the amount that would otherwise be payable as a result of satisfying the applicable performance goals.

Approval of the Share Increase Amendment at the Annual Meeting will be deemed to include, among other things, approval of the continued eligibility of executive officers and other employees to participate in the 2012 LTIP, the performance criteria upon which awards intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) may be made, and the qualification of options and SARs granted under the 2012 LTIP as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m).

Change in Control of the Company

For purposes of the 2012 LTIP, a “change in control” of our Company generally occurs if (i) a person or group acquires 30% or more of our Company’s outstanding stock, (ii) certain changes occur in the composition of the Board of Directors, or (iii) a reorganization, merger or consolidation of our Company, or a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our Company’s assets, is consummated (unless our Company’s outstanding stock immediately prior to the transaction continues to represent over 70% of the outstanding stock of our Company or the surviving entity immediately after the transaction).

If a change in control of our Company occurs as a result of which our Company does not survive as an operating company or survives only as a subsidiary of another entity, then the consequences will be as described in this paragraph unless the Committee provides otherwise in an applicable award agreement. If any outstanding award is not continued, assumed or replaced by the successor entity in connection with such a change in control, the award will be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to such award in an amount equal to the excess, if any, between the fair market value of the consideration to be received in the change in control for the number of shares remaining subject to the award over the aggregate exercise price (if any) for the shares remaining subject to such award (or, if there is no excess, such award may be canceled without payment). In the case of performance-based awards, the number of shares remaining subject to an award or the settlement amount of a cash incentive award will be calculated by deeming all performance measures to have been satisfied at targeted performance. If any outstanding award is continued, assumed or replaced by the successor entity in connection with such a change in control, the Committee may provide that such award will become fully vested and exercisable upon the involuntary termination of the participant without cause within a specified amount of time following the change in control.

In the event of a change in control of our Company other than as described in the previous paragraph, the Committee may provide that (i) any award will become fully vested and exercisable upon the change in control

or upon the involuntary termination of the participant without cause within a specified amount of time following the change in control, (ii) any option or SAR will remain exercisable during all or some portion of its remaining term, or (iii) awards will be canceled in exchange for payments in a similar manner as described above with respect to a change in control as a result of which our Company does not survive as an operating company or survives only as a subsidiary of another entity.

Effect of Termination of Employment or Other Services

If a participant ceases to be employed by or provide other services for our Company and all subsidiaries, awards under the 2012 LTIP then held by the participant will be treated as set forth below unless provided otherwise in the applicable award agreement.

Upon termination for any reason other than death or disability, all unvested and unexercisable portions of any outstanding awards shall be immediately forfeited, and the currently vested and exercisable portions of options and SARs may be exercised for 90 days after such termination. However, if a participant is 65 or more years old or is 55 or more years old and has been an employee of or provider of other services to our Company for at least 10 years, then the currently vested and exercisable portions of options and SARs may be exercised for one year after such termination.

Upon termination due to death or disability, all outstanding options and SARs will become fully exercisable and will remain exercisable for one year after such termination, and all other awards will fully vest immediately.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the principal United States federal income tax consequences to the Company and to participants subject to U.S. taxation with respect to awards granted under the 2012 LTIP. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any city, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside.

Non-Statutory Options. If a participant is granted a non-statutory option under the 2012 LTIP, the participant will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of the option. Generally, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares acquired at the time of exercise and the exercise price paid. The participant’s basis in the common stock for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of such shares generally will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option was exercised. Any subsequent gain or loss will be taxable as a capital gain or loss. The Company will generally be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the participant recognizes ordinary income.

Incentive Stock Options. If a participant is granted an incentive stock option under the 2012 LTIP, the participant will not recognize taxable income upon grant of the option. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements (a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise) are met, the participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired at the time of exercise over the aggregate exercise price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option are held for the holding period described above, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of sale and the exercise price) upon disposition of the shares will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the incentive stock option will be treated as one that does not meet the requirements of the Code for incentive stock options and the tax consequences described above for non-statutory options will apply.

Other Awards. The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2012 LTIP generally follow certain basic patterns. SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as non-statutory options. An award of nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition by a participant in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received (determined as if the shares were not subject to any risk of forfeiture) at the time the restrictions lapse and the

shares vest, unless the participant elects under Section 83(b) of the Code to accelerate income recognition and the taxability of the award to the date of grant. Stock unit awards and cash incentive awards generally result in income recognition by a participant at the time payment of such an award is made in an amount equal to the amount paid in cash or the then-current fair market value of the shares received, as applicable. In each of the foregoing cases, the Company will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to covered employees.

Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to certain “covered employees” in a taxable year to the extent that compensation to the covered employee exceeds $1,000,000, unless, among other exceptions, the compensation qualifies as “performance-based compensation.” The 2012 LTIP is designed to meet the requirements of Section 162(m), but awards other than options and SARs granted under the 2012 LTIP will only be treated as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) if the awards and the procedures associated with them comply with all other requirements of Section 162(m), including that the maximum amount of compensation a covered employee may receive is based on the satisfaction of pre-established performance goals.

Section 409A of the Code. The foregoing discussion of tax consequences of awards under the 2012 LTIP assumes that the award discussed is either not considered a “deferred compensation arrangement” subject to Section 409A of the Code, or has been structured to comply with its requirements. If an award is considered a deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A but fails to comply, in operation or form, with the requirements of Section 409A, the affected participant would generally be required to include in income when the award vests the amount deemed “deferred,” would be required to pay an additional 20% income tax, and would be required to pay interest on the tax that would have been paid but for the deferral. The 2012 LTIP will be administered in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A.

Incentive Awards Under the 2012 LTIP

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Committee has not approved any awards in excess of the current share reserve under the 2012 LTIP and therefore has not approved awards in reliance on the Share Increase Amendment, nor has it approved any equity awards to non-employee directors in excess of the limit established in the Director Compensation Amendment. Because all awards under the 2012 Plan are granted under the discretion of the Committee, neither the number nor type of future 2012 LTIP awards to be received by or allocated to particular participants or groups of participants is presently determinable. Information regarding awards made to named executive officers under the 2012 LTIP during fiscal 2015 is provided under the caption “Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal 2015” of this proxy statement.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the Share Increase Amendment and ratify the Director Compensation Amendment. If stockholder approval is not obtained, then the Share Increase Amendment to the 2012 LTIP will not become effective.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE SHARE INCREASE AMENDMENT AND RATIFICATION OF THE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AMENDMENT TO THE FAIR ISAAC CORPORATION 2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company seeks a non-binding advisory vote from its stockholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as described under “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and the tabular disclosure regarding named executive officer compensation (together with the accompanying narrative disclosure) in this proxy statement.

This proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the Company’s executive officer compensation. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when making future executive officer compensation decisions.

As we discuss below in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we believe that our compensation policies and decisions are designed to deliver a performance-based pay philosophy, are aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders and are competitive. The Company’s principal compensation policies, which enable the Company to attract, motivate and retain talented executive officers to lead the Company in the achievement of our business objectives, include:

•

We make annual cash compensation decisions based on assessment of the Company’s performance against measurable financial goals, as well as each executive’s individual performance.

•

We emphasize long-term incentive compensation awards that collectively reward executive officers based on individual performance, external and internal peer equity compensation practices, and the performance of the Company’s stock.

•

We delivered approximately two-thirds of the targeted annual long-term award value to top executives for fiscal 2015 in the form of performance-based incentives.

•

We require stock ownership by our senior executive officers.

As a result, we are presenting this proposal, which gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to approve our executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement by voting for or against the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related disclosure contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement for its 2016 Annual Meeting.

We have decided to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation annually until the next vote is held regarding the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation. The next advisory vote on executive compensation will be held at our 2017 Annual Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IS APPROPRIATE AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION AS DISCLOSED IN THE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND THE COMPENSATION TABLES AND OTHERWISE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 4: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to select and retain independent auditors. Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte as our independent auditors for the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. Although stockholder ratification of the Audit Committee’s selection of independent auditors is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of Deloitte to stockholder ratification so that our stockholders may participate in this important corporate decision. If not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection, although the Audit Committee will not be required to select different independent auditors for the Company.

Representatives of Deloitte will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to questions from stockholders present at the meeting.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, for the audit of our annual financial statements and fees for other services rendered by the firm during those respective periods.


	2015		2014
Audit Fees	$	2,290,000	$	2,246,000
Audit-Related Fees		556,000		477,000
Tax Fees		461,000		245,000
All Other Fees		2,000		2,000

Total	$	3,309,000	$	2,970,000

Audit Fees. Audit fees consisted of fees for services rendered in connection with the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements, quarterly reviews of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and the audit of internal control over financial reporting. Audit fees also consisted of services provided in connection with statutory audits, consultation on accounting matters and SEC registration statement services.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees consisted principally of fees for audits of financial statements of employee benefit plans, vendor compliance audits, due diligence related to acquisitions, and fees related to financial and non-financial attestation services (Service Organization Control).

Tax Fees. Tax services consisted of fees for tax consultation and tax compliance services.

All Other Fees. All other fees consisted of fees for access to an online library of accounting and financial reporting literature.

Our Audit Committee considers whether the provision of services other than for audit fees is compatible with maintaining our independent auditor’s independence, and has determined that these services for fiscal 2015 and 2014 were compatible. The services described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

Policy on Audit Committee Preapproval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Our Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation, and overseeing the work of the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding preapproval of all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of service for which it requests the advance approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the independent auditors. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit

Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts. The Audit Committee may also delegate the ability to preapprove audit and permitted non-audit services to a subcommittee consisting of one or more members, provided that any such preapprovals are reported on at the next Audit Committee meeting.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2016.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee selects and retains an independent registered public accounting firm as the Company’s independent auditor and assists the Board in overseeing (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, (2) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, (3) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditor, and (4) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements related to financial affairs and reporting. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee that addresses the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. This charter is available on the “Investors” page of our website at www.fico.com.

While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal and other requirements. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor. Additionally, in performing its oversight function, the Audit Committee necessarily relies on the work and assurances of, and information provided by, management and the independent auditor.

Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) served as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. In fiscal 2015, the Audit Committee met and held discussions with management and Deloitte on numerous occasions. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Deloitte the Company’s quarterly consolidated financial statements prior to the filing of each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees. Deloitte also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte the firm’s independence.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditor, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent auditor to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, as filed with the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSONS TRANSACTIONS

We maintain a written policy for the approval of any related person transactions. A “Related Person,” for purposes of our policy, means:

•

Any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of our last fiscal year was, a director or executive officer or a nominee for director;

•

Any person known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock; or

•

Any immediate family member of the foregoing persons.

“Immediate family members” include children, stepchildren, parents, stepparents, spouses, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law and any other person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of one of these individuals.

Under the Related Persons Transaction Policy, any transaction, arrangement or relationship between us and a Related Person (a “Related Persons Transaction”) must be reviewed by the Audit Committee, except that the following transactions, arrangements or relationships are exempt under the policy:

•

Payment of compensation by the Company to a director or executive officer of the Company for such person’s service to the Company in that capacity;

•

Transactions available to all employees or all stockholders of the Company on the same terms; and

•

Transactions that, when aggregated with the amount of all other transactions between the Company and the Related Person or any entity in which the Related Person has an interest, involve less than $120,000 in a fiscal year.

In determining whether to approve a Related Persons Transaction, the Audit Committee will consider the following:

•

Whether the terms are fair to the Company;

•

Whether the transaction is material to the Company;

•

The importance of the Related Persons Transaction to the Related Person;

•

The role the Related Person has played in arranging the Related Persons Transaction;

•

The structure of the Related Persons Transaction; and

•

The interests of all Related Persons in the Related Persons Transaction.

We will only enter into a Related Persons Transaction if the Audit Committee determines that the Related Persons Transaction is beneficial to the Company, and the terms of the Related Persons Transaction are fair to the Company. No Related Persons Transactions occurred during fiscal 2015.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors does not have a policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Board of Directors to make a determination on this matter when it appoints a new Chief Executive Officer or Chairman. The Board of Directors has determined that, currently, the most effective leadership structure is to have a separate Chairman of the Board, a position held by Mr. Battle since 2002, and Chief Executive Officer, a position held by Mr. Lansing since January 2012, as it provides us the best access to the judgments and experience of both individuals while providing a mechanism for the Board’s independent oversight of management. As a result, the Chairman presides over the meetings of the Board of Directors and the stockholders, and the Chief Executive Officer is allowed more time to focus energies on the management of the Company’s business.

Board Risk Oversight Role

Our management is responsible for identifying the various risks facing the Company, formulating risk management policies and procedures, and managing the Company’s risk exposures. Our Board of Directors’ responsibility is to monitor the Company’s risk management processes by informing itself concerning our material risks and evaluating whether management has reasonable controls in place to address the material risks. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has been monitoring management’s responsibility in the area of risk oversight. Accordingly, our internal risk management team regularly reports to the Audit Committee on our major risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management policies. The Audit Committee, in turn, reports on the matters discussed at the committee level to the full Board of Directors.

Attendance at Board Meetings

During fiscal 2015, the Board of Directors met five times. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served. Health permitting, all Board members are expected to attend our Annual Meeting. All directors serving on the Board at the time attended the 2015 Annual Meeting, with the exception of Rahul Merchant, who did not stand for re-election at the 2015 Annual Meeting.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that independent directors will meet in executive session without the Chief Executive Officer or other management present at each regular Board meeting. A. George Battle, the Chairman of the Board, is independent and presides at executive sessions held in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Annual Board Self-Evaluations

The Board of Directors and committees conduct annual self-evaluations to assess the qualifications, attributes, skills and experience represented on the Board and to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively.

Board Committees

Our Board has three standing committees: Audit; Leadership Development and Compensation; and Governance, Nominating and Executive. All of the members of the committees are independent directors under the applicable SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. Each committee’s charter expressly provides that the committee has the sole discretion to retain, compensate, and terminate its advisors. Current copies of the charters of the three committees are available on the “Investors” page of our website at www.fico.com. The following sets forth membership of each of our committees as of January 20, 2016.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

The following compensation components are paid to our non-employee directors:

•

Annual retainer fees;

•

An equity grant upon initial election to the Board; and

•

An annual equity grant.

Our Program is as described below. For a description of our compensation program in effect prior to this date, see last year’s proxy statement.

Under the Program, each non-employee director was entitled to receive annual retainer fees in the amounts set forth below and were paid in cash quarterly in arrears during their annual term commencing upon their election or re-election at each Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Such amounts were pro-rated for appointments made to the Board of Directors, Chair of the standing Board committee or Chairman of the Board between Annual Meetings.


Annual retainer fee payable to all non-employee directors	$	60,000
Additional annual retainer fee payable to Chairs of the Board’s Audit Committee and Leadership Development and Compensation Committee	$	25,000
Additional annual retainer fee payable to Chair of the Board’s Governance, Nominating and Executive Committee (GNEC)	$	5,000
Additional annual retainer fee payable to Independent Chairman of the Board	$	120,000

The stock price used for purposes of all calculations made under the Program equaled the average closing price of a share of the Company’s stock for the trading days within the 30-calendar-day period that ended on the eleventh calendar day before the date of grant.

Each non-employee director had the right, prior to the Annual Meeting, to elect to receive some or all of these annual retainer fees in the form of fully vested nonqualified stock options instead of cash. A director who elected to receive some or all of these annual retainer fees in the form of a stock option received an option to purchase a number of shares equal to the amount of the retainer or portion of the retainer being converted divided by the Black Scholes value of an option.

Upon initial election to the Board, each non-employee director was entitled to receive a number of nonqualified stock options subject to three-year ratable vesting equal to $460,000 divided by the Black Scholes value of a nonqualified stock option. The director was able to elect to convert either 50% or 100% of these stock options to restricted stock units subject to three-year ratable vesting. The number of restricted stock units was determined by dividing the aggregate Black Scholes value of the nonqualified stock options being exchanged by the value of a restricted stock unit.

Annual equity grants made to non-employee directors who were re-elected at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders after serving on the Board at least since the previous Annual Meeting were in the form of stock options subject to one-year cliff vesting equal to $230,000 divided by the Black Scholes value of a nonqualified stock option, and each committee chair received an additional 750 nonqualified stock options annually. Each director was able to elect to convert either 50% or 100% of these stock options to restricted stock units subject to one-year cliff vesting. The number of restricted stock units was determined by dividing the aggregate Black Scholes value of the nonqualified stock options being exchanged by the value of a restricted stock unit. Equity awards granted upon an Annual Meeting that are subject to vesting will vest upon the dates of successive Annual Meetings.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our policy requires non-employee directors to hold 10,000 shares within five years of beginning service on the Board. All of the directors currently meet the stock ownership guidelines or are making acceptable progress to their applicable level.

Director and Officer Liability Insurance Policies

Directors are covered under our director and officer liability insurance policies for claims alleged in connection with their service as directors. We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors agreeing to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims alleged in connection with their service as directors.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Company Performance in Fiscal 2015

During fiscal 2015, we continued to generate significant free cash flow used to enhance shareholder value through investments in long-term growth initiatives, acquisitions of relevant technologies and products that strengthen our portfolio and competitive position, and our share repurchase program.

We continued to invest in growth initiatives that expand our addressable markets. Our full suite of applications available through the FICO^® Analytic Cloud provide product offerings in our Applications and Tools segments to provide growth opportunities with customers that can benefit from the affordability and simplicity of cloud-based solutions. For our Scores segment, the FICO^® Score Open Access program continued its expansion during the current year. We have more than 100 million consumers with access to their free FICO^® Score through the FICO^® Score Open Access program, which allows our participating clients to provide their customers with a free FICO^® Score along with materials to help them understand what affects their score. In addition, during fiscal 2015, we launched a partnership program with Experian, a leading global information services provider, making the FICO^® Score available to consumers, who can now go to Experian.com to access the credit score lenders use most when determining applicant eligibility for new credit cards, car loans, mortgages or other lines of credit.

We continued to make acquisitions that deliver solutions to the financial services industry and adjacent vertical industries. Our acquisition of TONBELLER addresses the rapidly growing demand for integrated, enterprise-class financial crime and compliance solutions. We integrated this financial crime and compliance technology with our existing fraud detection and analytics to provide broader, more responsive fraud solutions for our customers.

With our strong portfolio of products now in place, we are shifting some of our resources to distribution in our expanded market. This fiscal year, we incurred severance charges to reallocate expenses from building out products to our distribution and go-to-market functions for both the Applications and Tools segments, which includes significant sales enablement and increasing sales resources to reach new market segments.

We also returned significant cash to shareholders through our stock repurchase program. During fiscal 2015, we repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares for a total cost of $130.7 million.

Fiscal 2015 was also a good year from the perspective of our stockholders, with continued strong returns illustrated by the chart below for the past three fiscal years and the period from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

Overview of Fiscal 2015 Compensation Program

As administered by our Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), our compensation program seeks to closely link the financial interests of our Company’s executives with those of our stockholders. The Committee uses the following guidelines in our compensation program to help achieve this overarching goal.


Emphasis on Pay for Performance	•	Base salaries for executive officers remained largely flat;
Emphasis on Pay for Performance	•	Variable short-term cash compensation plan funding based upon Company performance, with individual awards linked closely to individual performance; and
	•	Emphasis on long-term incentives to align executives’ interests with those of our stockholders with two-thirds weighting of targeted long-term incentive value continuing to be placed on performance-based vehicles, the value of which depends on meeting the Company’s financial performance targets and our stock price performance.
Quality Pay Practices and Policies	•	No single-trigger accelerated vesting or payment for equity awards upon a change in control;
	•	Executive stock ownership guidelines that encourage ownership and further align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders;
	•	Prohibition on hedging of Company stock;
	•	Adoption of a compensation recovery, or “clawback,” policy pertaining to both cash and equity incentive-based compensation;
	•	Mandatory minimum vesting period of one year for equity awards;
	•	Annual peer group review with appropriate adjustments to ensure valid comparisons;
	•	No tax gross-ups allowed except with respect to relocation benefits and required spousal travel; and
	•	Independent compensation consultant engaged by the Committee does not provide any other services to the Company.

In making compensation decisions at the outset of fiscal 2015 and throughout the year, the Committee sought to reinforce the linkage between Company performance and executive compensation. In keeping with this objective, base salaries for executive officers in fiscal 2015 continued to remain largely flat as part of the continued focus on prominently featuring performance-based cash incentives and equity.

While the targeted level of short-term cash incentive awards for each executive officer, expressed as a percentage of annual base salary, remained unchanged, actual short-term cash incentive award levels decreased in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. At the beginning of the fiscal year, our Board of Directors approved an Adjusted Revenue target of $825 million and an Adjusted EBITDA target of $242.5 million. These performance metrics were used by the Committee to determine funding of the fiscal 2015 cash incentive pool and to drive sustainable top- and bottom-line growth, balancing both short and longer term considerations. Our fiscal 2015 result of $827.6 million in Adjusted Revenue exceeded target, while our $237.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA fell below target, resulting in funding under both the Broad-Based and Management Incentive Plans at 79.1% of budgeted target. “Adjusted Revenue” means the Company’s GAAP Revenue adjusted at the Committee’s discretion to remove the impact of revenues related to acquisitions or events deemed by the Committee to have been out of Management’s control and occurring in the measurement year. “Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) as adjusted for stock-based compensation

expense, restructuring and acquisition-related charges, and other items reflected in the Regulation G schedule published by the Company as an attachment to its quarterly earnings releases, and further adjusted for such adjustments as may be applicable. In selecting these two financial metrics, both of which are used to determine short-term cash incentive funding and Performance Share Unit (PSU) earnings, the Committee relied on the fact that the Company is making significant investments in technology infrastructure, solution innovation and distribution which tend to sacrifice short-term performance on certain other metrics (e.g., earnings-per share) in favor of enabling longer-term shareholder value creation.

To align executive interests with the creation of stockholder value, equity-based incentive compensation represents a substantial portion of total compensation, and we have continued to maintain a diverse mix of equity award types which favor those that are performance based instead of simply time vested. This mix of long-term incentive vehicles helps ensure the Company’s executive compensation program operates effectively across a wide variety of business scenarios.

Long-term incentive awards to executive officers in fiscal 2015 were granted in December 2014 as part of the Company’s annual year-end performance review and compensation planning process. Two-thirds of the annual long-term incentives were performance based, with only one-third time based. Specifically, the Committee granted one-third of the targeted annual long-term award value to top executives in the form of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”), which were designed to reward the achievement of established Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA goals. Based on Company performance with respect to those metrics, 92.17% of targeted PSUs granted in fiscal 2015 were earned. The Committee granted another one-third of targeted annual long-term award value in the form of Market Share Units, or MSUs. MSUs are earned based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the Russell 3000 index over performance periods of one, two and three years. Based on our one year total shareholder return from December 1, 2014 to November 30, 2015, 200% of the target awards for the first performance period in the MSUs granted in fiscal 2015 were earned. Based on our two year total shareholder return from December 1, 2013 to November 30, 2015, 200% of the target awards for the second performance period in the MSUs granted in fiscal 2014 were earned. The remaining one-third of targeted annual long-term award value took the form of time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) designed to promote stable retention value. In addition to the mix of annual long-term incentive awards, in December 2014, the Committee made special one-time long-term incentive awards to certain executive officers due to exceptional performance contributions in fiscal 2014.

Our strong linkage of pay and performance is illustrated in the chart below. The dollar amounts shown for targeted total direct compensation figures reflect value at grant. The dollar amounts shown for realized total direct compensation figures reflect FY15 realized PSUs at 92.17% of targeted earnings and FY15 MSUs at 200% of first performance period target earnings with second and third performance periods earnings reflected at target.

Preview of Fiscal 2016 Compensation Program

The Committee’s decisions made at the outset of fiscal 2016 reflect a continuation of the philosophy employed during fiscal 2015. Specifically, no executive officer received a base salary increase in the December 2015 annual review cycle and the long-term incentive program continues to reflect a strong emphasis on performance-based vehicles. As described more fully below, and as was the case in fiscal 2015, two-thirds of the value of the annual equity awards made to executive officers in fiscal 2016 is tied to performance-based vehicles.

Named Executive Officers

Our named executive officers for fiscal 2015 consist of the following persons:

•

William Lansing, Chief Executive Officer,

•

Michael Pung, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,

•

Wayne Huyard, Executive Vice President, Sales, Services and Marketing,

•

James Wehmann, Executive Vice President, Scores, and

•

Stuart Wells, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.

Determination of Compensation

Committee Process

Members of executive management participate in the Committee’s meetings at the Committee’s request. Management’s role is to contribute input and analysis, which the Committee considers in making its decisions. The Committee is not bound by management’s recommendations, but the Committee relies on the insights of our CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer in determining compensation for the executive officers, other than the CEO. The Committee also consults with its outside compensation consultant during its review of executive officer compensation. Prior to making decisions impacting executive compensation, the Committee refers to comprehensive statements and reports prepared by its consultant and management that reflect the amount and elements of each executive’s total compensation.

The Committee leads an annual performance review of the CEO in connection with the determination of his compensation. As part of this process, one or more Committee members and/or the Chairman of the Board meet with each senior executive to discuss the CEO’s performance using a structured interview approach. In addition, each Board member completes a written evaluation form for the CEO and submits it to the Committee. Based on these interviews and written evaluations, as well as on its own determinations regarding the CEO’s performance, the Committee prepares a final performance review for the CEO. The Committee then submits a recommendation for the CEO’s compensation to the Board for discussion. Following such discussion, the Committee finalizes its determination of the CEO’s compensation and informs the CEO of such determination, together with the final performance review.

Peer Group Analysis

In connection with our fiscal 2015 executive compensation program, the Committee reviewed summary reports prepared by its consultant and by management reflecting current and proposed base salary, cash incentive and equity award levels for our executives. Each element was analyzed relative to the Company’s compensation peer group. The peer group consisted of 19 companies that were selected as being similar in size to the Company and operating in the application software, data processing and outsourced services sub-industries within the Global Industry Classification Standard taxonomy.

The 19 peer companies that were considered when the Committee set compensation for fiscal 2015 are as follows:


ACI Worldwide		Jack Henry & Associates
Advent Software		Manhattan Associates
ANSYS		Mentor Graphics
Blackbaud		MicroStrategy
Cadence Design Systems		NetScout Systems
Compuware		Nuance Communications
Concur Technologies		Pegasystems
CSG Systems		PTC
FactSet Research Systems		TIBCO Software
Informatica

The composition of the peer group is reviewed annually, with adjustments made that the Committee, with the assistance of its compensation consultants, believes are appropriate to maintain comparability within the employment marketplace and to reflect any mergers or acquisitions among the subject companies. In February 2015, FICO removed Advent Software, Compuware, Concur Technologies, and TIBCO Software from the peer group, as all had either been or were in the process of being acquired. The Committee replaced those removals with the following companies: CoreLogic, Qlik Technologies, Splunk and Verint Systems.

Specific information with respect to relative position follows, using values available at the time the compensation levels were being determined in December 2014:


	Revenue ($ in millions)			Market Capitalization ($ in millions)			Operating Income ($ in millions)			Net Income ($ in millions)
75^th percentile of peer group	$	1,133		$	4,726		$	223		$	138
50^th percentile of peer group	$	896		$	2,492		$	130		$	62
25^th percentile of peer group	$	573		$	1,827		$	80		$	40
Company	$	758		$	1,816		$	165		$	87
Percentile rank		45	%		22	%		58	%		64	%

The Committee considered the peer group information in addition to the factors described above when setting the compensation levels for our executives for fiscal 2015. The Committee does not benchmark total compensation or individual elements of compensation to particular percentiles but aims to create competitive pay packages that are generally above market median if long-term equity incentives pay out at or above target based on challenging required levels of performance.

Use of Consultants

The Committee uses outside compensation consultants to assist it in analyzing our Company’s compensation programs and assessing market levels of compensation. For fiscal 2015, the Committee engaged Compensia, Inc. to provide competitive practice and market compensation data, advice regarding the design of compensation programs for outside directors and executive officers, input regarding specific compensation actions for executive officers, analysis of the constitution of our peer group, and analysis concerning the structure of and any needed amendments to our 2012 LTIP.

Stockholder Vote

At our last Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 24, 2015, we asked our stockholders to approve, by advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related disclosures contained in our proxy statement for that Annual Meeting. The proposal was approved by our stockholders with approximately 98.6% of the votes

cast being “for” approval. In light of the overwhelming approval of our executive compensation practices by our stockholders, the Committee has largely maintained those practices over the past year. The Committee continues to evaluate and adjust the Company’s compensation practices as it deems appropriate to advance the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Elements of Compensation

The fiscal 2015 executive compensation program consisted of three key elements: (1) base salary; (2) short-term cash incentives; and (3) long-term incentives in the form of PSUs, MSUs and RSUs.


Compensation Element		Purpose and Philosophy
Base Salary	•	Provides executive officers with financial stability and predictable cash flow; and
	•	Determined by evaluating the executive’s role within the Company, experience, performance, and potential for development, as well as base salaries of comparable roles within peer group companies and the broader marketplace.

Short-Term Cash Incentives	•	Rewards the achievement of annual Company and individual performance goals;
	•	Expressed as a targeted percentage of base salary determined with reference to the peer group companies and the broader marketplace; and
	•	Participant may earn between zero and 250% of target, depending both upon Company and individual performance.

Long-Term Incentives	•	Directly links a significant portion of total executive officer compensation to the market value of Company stock, while promoting retention through multi-year vesting;
	•	Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) are earned based upon the extent to which annual Company financial targets are achieved with as few as zero and as many as 200% of targeted PSUs possible. Earned units are then subject to multi-year vesting, promoting continued linkage to Company stock price while also promoting retention;
	•	Market Share Units (“MSUs”) use a performance measure that is based on relative total shareholder return over one-, two- and three-year periods instead of annual financial performance metrics to integrate a longer, multi-year performance period into the Company’s equity compensation program; and
	•	Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) represent a more stable equity-based compensation vehicle, ensuring linkage to Company stock price performance while promoting retention over a multi-year vesting period.

Base Salary in Fiscal 2015

Only one of our named executive officers experienced an increase in base salary for fiscal 2015 as part of the Company’s annual year-end performance review and compensation process in November 2014. Mr. Wehmann, our Executive Vice President, Scores, received an increase of 12.5%, related to market competitive analysis in light of his strong fiscal 2014 performance. This conservative approach reflects the Committee’s continued commitment to favor incentive compensation elements directly linked to the achievement of targeted financial goals and the creation of stockholder value.

Short-Term Cash Incentives in Fiscal 2015

We offer a short-term incentive opportunity in the form of cash incentive awards to all of our executive officers. These incentive awards are paid from a single, centralized pool that supports short-term cash incentive payments made to our executive officers under our Management Incentive Plan and to other eligible employees under our Broad-Based Incentive Plan.

Cash incentives paid to our named executive officers under the Management Incentive Plan are intended to be qualified performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. For that purpose, the Committee establishes a formula to determine a maximum amount that may be paid to each of our named executive officers. The Committee has the discretion to pay amounts to the named executive officers under the Management Incentive Plan that are less than the maximum Section 162(m) payouts.

In fiscal 2015, the Committee determined the named executive officers’ cash incentive payouts using the framework set forth below (which was the same for the named executive officers as for all other participants in the Management Incentive Plan and Broad-Based Incentive Plan):

LOGO



Company Budget and Performance Factor	=	A value ranging from 0 to 125%, which is equal to the amount of the budgeted level of bonus pool funding in the fiscal year’s operating plan divided by the aggregate amount of plan participants’ target-level awards multiplied by the extent to which Company Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets are achieved. Fiscal year 2015 = 62%

Participant Performance Factor	=	A value ranging from 0 to 200% reflecting the extent to which individual participant performance goals were achieved.

Participant Target %	=	The percentage of each participant’s annual base salary that represents a target cash incentive payout amount.

As an illustrative example, a participant with an annual base salary of $400,000, a Participant Target % of 50% of base salary, and a Participant Performance Factor of 100% would have had an allocated cash incentive amount of $124,000 for fiscal 2015 (compared to a target payout of $200,000).

The Committee establishes the size of the cash incentive pool by determining the Company Budget and Performance Factor, which is equal to the amount of the budgeted level of bonus pool funding in the fiscal year’s operating plan divided by the aggregate amount of plan participants’ target-level awards multiplied by the extent to which Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets are achieved. The table below illustrates this calculation for fiscal 2015. While the Adjusted Revenue performance metric ramps upward from “target,” the Committee designed the Adjusted EBITDA metric to be constant above target in order to promote strategic business investments throughout the year aimed at fueling future growth. A set of actions totaling $20 million and targeting specified investments in Scores infrastructure, strategic partner enablement, expansion of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) capabilities and incremental sales resources was established at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Using this model, Adjusted Revenue performance above target would only yield above target plan funding to the extent that these strategic investments were effectively executed.

*	When calculating the financial results, the Committee excluded the impact of the TONBELLER acquisition from both Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

In accordance with this calculation, a Company Budget and Performance Factor of 62% was applied to the cash incentive pool and uniformly affected payouts made to all participants in the Management Incentive Plan and Broad-Based Incentive Plan. This fiscal 2015 Company Budget and Performance Factor was lower than in fiscal 2014, when above-target Company performance yielded a multiplier of 88.3%.

The Participant Performance Factor is a function of the extent to which individual performance goals are achieved. These goals can include Company-wide metrics as well as business unit metrics and goals that are highly specific to the functions over which the individual has primary responsibility. The CEO’s goals are established by the Committee after considering input from each outside director, and the CEO’s individual performance evaluation is completed annually by the Committee. Individual performance goals for the executive officers other than the CEO are established by the CEO, and evaluations for those executives are completed annually by the CEO and discussed with the Committee. If an executive receives the lowest performance rating on a three-point scale (“Improvement Needed”), his award will generally be reduced to zero. Conversely, if an executive receives the highest overall performance rating (“Outstanding”), his Participant Performance Factor could be as high as 200%. Distribution guidelines applicable to these performance ratings ensure that participants in the short-term cash incentive program are not all rated on the high or low end of the scale, but are instead distributed above and below the target levels. Discretion can be exercised to make adjustments within the performance scale.

The Participant Performance Factor values for the named executive officers in fiscal 2015, along with key factors considered by the Committee and the CEO, as applicable, in making these valuations, were as follows:


Named Executive Officer	Participant Performance Factor	Key Factors
William Lansing	126%	• successfully targeted and integrated acquired companies • drove investment in innovation • developed and motivated a talented executive team
Michael Pung	111%	• showed effective management of the operating expense budget • built rapport with key investors
Wayne Huyard	130%	• repositioned global sales, services and marketing teams, enhancing our ability to best address market opportunities • delivered strong FY15 revenue results
James Wehmann	132%	• drove innovation in the business-to-consumer Scores business, which led to accelerating revenue growth • leveraged bureau partners relationships to open up new growth opportunities
Stuart Wells	132%	• oversaw important technology innovation, including our FICO^® Decision Management Suite and the FICO^® Analytic Cloud • continued to build-out SaaS-based delivery capabilities for major applications

The Participant Target % for each participant in the Management Incentive Plan is based on market-competitive levels for executives in comparable roles. As provided in their respective employment agreements, Mr. Lansing’s Participant Target % is 100% of annual base salary, and the other named executive officers each have a Participant Target % of 50% of annual base salary.

The combined effect of these inputs led to the following payouts for the named executive officers under the Management Incentive Plan for fiscal 2015 performance, shown along with the target payout levels:


Named Executive Officer	Target Payout for Fiscal 2015		Actual Payout for Fiscal 2015
William Lansing	$	675,000	$	515,000
Michael Pung	$	200,000	$	135,000
Wayne Huyard	$	210,000	$	150,000
James Wehmann	$	225,000	$	180,000
Stuart Wells	$	250,000	$	200,000
Totals	$	1,560,000	$	1,180,000

Long-Term Incentives in Fiscal 2015

The third key element of our executive compensation program for fiscal 2015 was long-term incentive equity awards. This component of compensation is used to drive achievement of the Company’s financial targets while linking compensation to the market value of our Company’s common stock. The value of core annual awards received by the named executive officers in fiscal 2015 consisted of a one third split of PSUs, MSUs and RSUs.

In determining the value of annual awards for fiscal 2015, the Committee considered market data and analysis provided by its outside compensation consultant and described above under “Determination of Compensation — Peer Group Analysis,” the individual performance of each executive, the need to reinforce positive levels of collaboration and teamwork across members of the executive team following significant changes to the team occurring in the prior fiscal year, and the importance of retention.

Additionally, in December 2014, the Committee approved special one-time long-term incentive awards to certain executives in addition to the core annual long-term incentive grants. Those special awards are described further below.

The proportion of each type of equity award in fiscal 2015 is broken down as follows:


Core Annual Awards			Special One-Time Awards
Performance Share Units 1/3	Market Share Units 1/3	Restricted Stock Units 1/3	Restricted Stock Units Varies

Performance Share Units. For fiscal 2015, PSUs represented one-third of the targeted annual equity grants made in December 2014 to the Company’s executive officers. The PSUs granted in fiscal 2015 were earned on the basis of a one-year performance period but vest over the three years following the date of grant. The Committee used a one-year performance period because market uncertainties make it difficult to accurately forecast Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA beyond that point. The Committee believes the complexity of our major products, along with the complexity of our major customers, yields a very long selling cycle, which in turn contributes significant uncertainty into our revenue stream and resulting EBITDA. Using a one-year performance period allows the Committee to reward performance for a time period over which the Company has better visibility instead of creating goals over a longer term that are more likely to be off the mark. In addition, distributing the payout over an additional two years creates long-term alignment with stockholders and retention incentives.

The compensation associated with PSU awards is intended to be deductible under Section 162(m), and the maximum number of PSUs that could have been earned over the performance period of fiscal 2015 by each named executive officer was specified in the applicable award agreement. In each case, the named executive

officer could earn 200% of the target payout if the Company’s Adjusted Revenue for fiscal 2015, calculated in accordance with GAAP, equaled or exceeded the threshold amount of $740 million. The Committee had discretion to determine a lesser number of PSUs that would be earned and established the earnings model below when the awards were granted to inform its exercise of this negative discretion:


Financial Metric (Weighting)	Threshold Performance		Target Performance		Maximum Performance
Adjusted Revenue (50%)	$789.0 million	$805.0 million	$825.0 million	$830.0 million	$850.0 million
Adjusted EBITDA (50%)	$234.2 million	$236.5 million	$242.5 million	$242.5 million	$242.5 million
PSUs Earned (as percent of target)	0%	50%	100%	150%	200%

The Company’s above-target performance on the Adjusted Revenue and below-target performance on the Adjusted EBITDA metrics in fiscal 2015 generated a multiplier of 92.17% of targeted PSUs. As noted previously, above target performance on Adjusted Revenue (50% of total weight) was rewarded in accordance with the above model because the Committee determined that strategic investments established at the beginning of the fiscal year, and designed to drive future growth, had been effectively executed. Because performance fell below Adjusted EBITDA target, the below target portion of the above scale was used to determine funding impact (50% of total weight) for that metric.

The target number of PSUs and the number earned by each named executive officer for fiscal 2015 performance are as follows:


Named Executive Officer	Target Number of PSUs Granted for Fiscal 2015		Actual Number of PSUs Earned for Fiscal 2015
William Lansing		23,160		21,347
Michael Pung		8,676		7,997
Wayne Huyard		10,000		9,217
James Wehmann		8,676		7,997
Stuart Wells		8,954		8,253

Market Share Units. For fiscal 2015, MSUs represented one-third of the targeted annual equity grants made in December 2014 to the Company’s executive officers. The MSUs granted in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are earned based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the Russell 3000 index over performance periods of one, two and three years. The Committee used three performance periods to integrate a longer, multi-year performance period into the Company’s equity compensation program.

The compensation associated with MSU awards is intended to be deductible under Section 162(m). The amount of MSUs earned by a named executive officer in each of the one- and two-year performance periods is determined by taking one-third of the target units in the applicable award agreement multiplied by the relative return factor for the relevant performance period. The amount of MSUs earned by a named executive officer in the three-year performance period is determined by taking the total number of the target units in the applicable award agreement multiplied by the relative return factor for the relevant performance period, and then subtracting any shares earned in the one- and two-year performance periods from the result. The total number of shares earned in the one- and two-year periods is not adjusted if the foregoing calculation results in a negative number. The relative return factor for each performance period is calculated as follows:


Relative TSR Performance	Relative Return Factor
+33.33% or greater		200	%
+16.67%		150	%
0%		100	%
-12.5%		50	%
-25% or less		0	%

The relative TSR performance generally means the difference between our total stockholder return minus the Russell 3000 index’s total stockholder return for the relevant performance period. Importantly, the MSU earnings slope for below-target performance is steeper than the slope for above-target performance, meaning that the penalty for under-performance is higher than the premium for over-performance.

Based on our total shareholder return, 200% of the MSUs granted in fiscal 2015 were earned at the conclusion of the first performance period and 200% of the MSUs granted in fiscal 2014 were earned at the conclusion of the second performance period. The target number of MSUs and the number earned by each named executive officer for fiscal 2015 performance are as follows:


Named Executive Officer	Target Number of FY15 MSUs Subject to One- Year Performance		Actual Number of MSUs Earned
William Lansing		7,720		15,440
Michael Pung		2,892		5,784
Wayne Huyard		3,334		6,668
James Wehmann		2,892		5,784
Stuart Wells		2,985		5,970


Named Executive Officer	Target Number of FY14 MSUs Subject to Two- Year Performance		Actual Number of MSUs Earned
William Lansing		8,626		17,252
Michael Pung		2,908		5,816
Wayne Huyard		—		—
James Wehmann		3,249		6,498
Stuart Wells		3,249		6,498

Restricted Stock Units. For fiscal 2015, RSUs represented the final one-third of the targeted annual equity grants made in December 2014 to the Company’s executive officers. The RSUs provide a link to performance of the Company’s stock price, as well as promote retention over a multi-year vesting period. RSUs granted by the Committee generally vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

In designing the 2015 long-term incentive approach, the Committee permitted executives to exchange up to 100% of annual time-vested RSUs for non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) on an economically equivalent basis, while maintaining the existing four-year vesting schedule. The ratio constituting an economically equivalent basis was determined as follows:



Value of One “Whole” Share	=	Determine the average closing stock price during the 30 calendar days ending 11 days before the grant date

Value of One “Option” Share	=	Calculate using Black-Scholes valuation as of the grant date, with the value of one “whole” share as the basis

Exchange Ratio for RSUs to NQSOs	=	Divide value of one “whole” share by value of one “option” share

In fiscal 2015, the value of one “whole” share was determined to be $68.28, with the resulting value of one “option” share calculation resulting in a value of $18.52. The resulting ratio was 3.6868 “option” shares for each “whole” share, meaning executives could exchange one time-vested RSU for 3.6868 NQSOs in fiscal 2015.

In connection with the implementation of this flexibility, the Committee considered that NQSOs provide attractive leverage to the recipient and permit the holder to determine when taxable income events occur via a

decision to complete an exercise. In fiscal 2015, all executives took full or partial advantage of this equity exchange opportunity.

Special One-Time Long-Term Incentive Awards. In December 2014, the Committee approved special one-time long-term incentive awards to certain executives in addition to the annual long-term incentive grants outlined above, due to the Company’s extraordinary performance and financial results in fiscal 2014 combined with the particularly strong personal performance of the executives receiving these awards. The Committee did not, and does not, intend for these awards to necessarily recur annually, and grants were limited to those executives whose contributions most strongly correlated to the Company’s very strong fiscal 2014 results. These awards were made under the 2012 LTIP and vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The Committee allowed executives to select any combination of RSUs and NQSOs, on an economically equivalent basis as discussed in “Restricted Stock Units” above, for the mix of these one-time awards.

The special one-time awards granted to each named executive officer for fiscal 2015 are as follows:


Named Executive Officer	RSUs		NQSOs
William Lansing		—		97,193
Michael Pung		N/A		N/A
Wayne Huyard		N/A		N/A
James Wehmann		—		53,996
Stuart Wells		6,591		24,299

Continued Developments in Long-Term Incentive Program

The charts below depict the evolution of our long-term incentive program over the last several years to increasingly emphasize performance-based vehicles over those based solely on time vesting. The values reflected assume that all executives (i) elected to convert the maximum allowable portion of their annual stock option grants in fiscal 2013 and earlier to RSUs, which was the typical pattern, and (ii) depicts PSUs and MSUs at target level. The fiscal 2015 chart reflects RSUs, though executives may have elected to convert those RSUs to stock options on an economically equivalent basis, as detailed above. The fiscal 2015 chart also does not reflect the special one-time long-term incentive grants made to certain executives, which are described above. The fiscal 2013 chart reflects the annual grants made to named executive officers other than the CEO, who received an additional 70,000 stock options that were not convertible into RSUs and are not reflected below.

Retirement Arrangements

We offer a 401(k) plan for all eligible employees. Under this program, our executive officers (like all of our eligible employees) can receive a Company matching contribution on amounts they contribute to the 401(k) plan as follows: 100% match of the first 3% of eligible compensation contributed by the executive officer, followed by a 50% match of the next 2% of eligible compensation contributed by the executive officer. Our executive retirement and savings plan allows our vice presidents and more senior officers to defer up to 25% of their base salary and 75% of their cash incentive awards into an investment account. Amounts in this account are payable upon certain termination events as specified in the plan.

Other Compensation Arrangements

Each of our current named executive officers is party to a Letter Agreement that, among other things, provides for pay and benefits in the event of termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason, and a Management Agreement that provides for pay and benefits in the event of such a termination in connection with a change in control. These agreements are described in detail later in this proxy statement. The Committee believes that these severance and change-in-control arrangements are meaningful recruitment and retention devices, are important components in a competitive compensation package for the named executive officers, and will mitigate concerns that the executives may have regarding their continued employment prior to or following a change in control, thereby allowing them to focus their undivided attention on advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Our executive officers participate in our general employee benefit plans and programs, including health and dental benefits, on the same terms as all of our other full-time employees. We also pay the premiums for group life, accidental death and dismemberment, and business travel accident insurance for all eligible employees, including executive officers, in a coverage amount based upon their base salary.

Equity Award Grant Processes

Equity awards granted to named executive officers in fiscal 2015 were granted under the 2012 LTIP. Equity awards for all executive officers are approved by the Committee. The Committee has delegated authority to our CEO to approve the granting of equity awards to employees who are not executive officers, subject to certain parameters approved by the Committee. The exercise price of stock options is set at fair market value on the date of grant, with annual equity awards generally granted by the Committee on a pre-determined day in December of each fiscal year.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted stock ownership guidelines for the Company’s executive officers. The stock ownership guidelines are expressed as a fixed number of shares, varying by role, pegged to a particular level of underlying value. For the Chief Executive Officer, the target is 100,000 shares. For Executive Vice Presidents, the target is 50,000 shares. For Senior Vice Presidents, the target is 25,000 shares. The guidelines provide that executive officers should achieve the stated target within five years of appointment. As of the end of fiscal 2015, all executive officers had met the targeted stock ownership level applicable to their role or were making acceptable progress to their target level.

Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy

In November 2015, our Board of Directors adopted an Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy that governs cash and equity incentive-based compensation to our executive officers, including our named executive officers. Under the policy, the Company will, in the appropriate circumstances as determined by the Committee and to the extent permitted by applicable law, require reimbursement or forfeiture of such compensation from an executive officer in the event that the Company materially restates its consolidated financial statements due to material non-compliance with applicable financial reporting requirements if such executive officer engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that was a significant contributing factor to the restatement. In each

such instance, the Company will seek to recover or cancel the amount by which such executive officer’s incentive-based compensation that was granted, vested or earned during the preceding three-year period exceeds the amount that would have been granted, vested or earned based on the restated financial results, net of taxes paid or payable by the executive officer with respect to the recovered compensation. The Committee will consider relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether to require reimbursement, cancellation or recovery of such incentive-based compensation.

Consideration of Tax Matters

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally precludes a public corporation from taking a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid in excess of one million dollars per year to certain covered officers. Under this section, compensation that qualifies as performance-based is excludable in determining what compensation amount shall qualify for tax deductibility.

The Committee considers the Company’s ability to fully deduct compensation in accordance with the limitations of Section 162(m) in structuring our compensation programs. However, the Committee retains the authority to authorize the payment of compensation that may not be deductible if it believes such payments would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Committee will continue to consider ways to maximize the deductibility of executive compensation while retaining the flexibility to compensate executive officers in a manner deemed appropriate relative to their performance and to competitive compensation levels and practices at other companies.

Leadership Development and Compensation Committee Report

The Committee has discussed and reviewed the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” with management. Based upon this review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Leadership Development and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee serves or has served as an officer of the Company. No executive officer serves, or in the past has served, as a member of the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any entity that has any of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Leadership Development and Compensation Committee.

Compensation Policies and Practices in Relation to Risk Management

The Company’s management and Leadership Development and Compensation Committee are committed to continually assessing the structure of the Company’s compensation programs in the context of recognized best practices. Total compensation consists of a mix of fixed and variable elements, and among our officers a significant component of total compensation comes in the form of long-term equity incentives that vest over several years. The stock ownership guidelines in place for our executive officers also work to align our executives’ long-term interests with those of our stockholders.

Our cash incentive program applicable to both executives and other employees is structured to reward achievement of diverse goals, some of which are tied to Company-wide performance and some of which are tied to business unit performance, but all of which are designed to benefit the Company and its stockholders on a

long-term basis. In addition, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee retains discretion to adjust awards under the cash incentive program if a payout determined under the formula is not appropriate in the circumstances, and maximum award levels are in place to limit windfalls. Finally, our system of internal controls places a strong focus on avoiding undue financial risk through rigorous review processes.

In light of the risk-limiting features of its compensation policies and practices, the Company has concluded that any risks arising from its compensation policies and practices for its employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Compensation Consultant Conflict of Interest Analysis

The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee has considered the relationships that the compensation consultants it engaged in fiscal 2015 have had with the Company, the members of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee and our executive officers, as well as the policies that the consultants have in place to maintain their independence and objectivity, and has determined that no conflicts of interest arose from the work performed by such consultants.

The amounts in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each award granted during the fiscal year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, and do not reflect whether the named executive officer has actually realized a financial benefit from the award. For information on the assumptions used to calculate the value of the awards, refer to Note 14 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, as filed with the SEC.

⁽³⁾	Stock Awards include the grant date fair value of time-based RSU awards, the PSU and MSU awards granted December 8, 2014 under the 2012 LTIP.

The PSUs were tied to the achievement of certain performance goals during fiscal 2015, and the named executive officer must be an employee on the vesting dates of December 8^th of 2015, 2016 and 2017 in order to realize earned PSU value. The values included in the table for the PSUs are at target value, representing the probable outcome of the performance conditions as calculated at the time of grant. The maximum value of the award on the grant date, assuming the highest level of performance conditions achieved, would be $3,328,556 vs. target of $1,664,278 for Mr. Lansing; $1,246,914 vs. target of $623,457 for Mr. Pung; $1,437,200 vs. target of $718,600 for Mr. Huyard; $1,246,914 vs. target of $623,457 for Mr. Wehmann; $1,286,868 vs. target of $643,434 for Dr. Wells. The named executive officers earned 92.17% of their respective target award, resulting in 21,347 units for Mr. Lansing, 7,997 units for Mr. Pung, 9,217 units for Mr. Huyard, 7,997 units for Mr. Wehmann, and 8,253 units for Dr. Wells.

The MSUs were tied to the achievement of certain performance goals over three performance periods ending on November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The named executive officers must be employed on the vesting dates of December 8^th of 2015, 2016 and 2017 in order to realize the earned MSU value. The values included in the table for the MSUs are at target value, representing the probable outcome of the performance conditions as calculated at the

time of grant. The maximum value of the award on the grant date, assuming the highest level of performance conditions achieved, would be $4,717,538 vs. target of $2,358,769 for Mr. Lansing; $1,767,244 vs. target of $883,622 for Mr. Pung; $2,036,934 vs. target of $1,018,467 for Mr. Huyard; $1,767,244 vs. target of $883,622 for Mr. Wehmann; $1,823,870 vs. target of $911,935 for Dr. Wells.

The amounts shown in these columns represent the estimated threshold (or minimum), target, and maximum possible cash incentive awards for each of the named executive officers. Under our Management Incentive Plan, Mr. Lansing’s target amount is equal to 100% of his base salary and the target amount for each of the other named executive officers is equal to 50% of his base salary. The maximum amount in each case equals 2.5 times the target amount, which would result if the Company Performance Factor were 125% and the Participant Performance Factor were 200%. Additional detail regarding the determination of cash incentives to executives for fiscal 2015 is included above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” Actual payments are set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” above.

⁽²⁾	The “Approval Date” is the date on which the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee approved the compensation package, including the equity awards, to be provided to Mr. Huyard upon commencement of his employment and for the annual PSUs and MSUs granted in December.

⁽¹⁾	The amount reported in this column was not reported in the Summary Compensation Table as part of the individual’s compensation for the most recent fiscal year because none of the earnings are considered to be “above market” or “preferential.”

⁽²⁾	Of the amounts shown in this column, the following amounts were previously reported as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table: $123,317 for fiscal 2013 and $289,182 for fiscal 2014.

This plan is intended for a select group of employees of the Company who are in the highest salary band. Employees can defer up to 25% of base salary and up to 75% of incentive award compensation into the plan. These elections are irrevocable and stay in place for the entire calendar year. The Company does not make any employer contributions to this plan, and employees are always 100% vested in their contributions. Employees make their own investment election decisions from a select group of investment choices designated by the Company.

Participating employees also make an irrevocable election for distributions from the plan at retirement. If they terminate employment prior to retirement, then participating employees will receive their distribution on the first day of the seventh calendar month following separation from service due to any reason.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

The information below describes the compensation that would become payable under existing plans and arrangements if a named executive officer’s employment terminates under certain circumstances or if a change in control of the Company occurs.

Executive Officer Management Agreements

Each of our executive officers is a party to a Management Agreement, as amended (the “Management Agreement”) with the Company. The Management Agreements are for a fixed term with automatic one-year extensions. Except in the case of Mr. Lansing, if during the term of the Management Agreements a change of control Event occurs, and if the executive officer’s employment is terminated within 60 days before or two years following the Event due to an involuntary termination by the Company without Cause or for Good Reason by the executive (as defined below), the executive will be entitled to the following pay and benefits: (i) a cash payment in an amount equal to one times the sum of (a) his annual base salary in effect on the last day of his employment, plus (b) the annual cash incentive payment last paid to him before the termination of his employment, such cash payment to be made in a lump sum on the 70th day following his separation from service (subject to certain exceptions), and (ii) continuation of certain benefits pursuant to COBRA for 12 months. In addition, all of such officer’s unvested stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units will vest in full, subject to certain limitations specified in the Management Agreement. The officer’s receipt of these severance amounts is conditioned on the officer’s delivery of a release of claims and agreement not to solicit Company employees for one year following termination of employment.

Mr. Lansing’s Management Agreement provides the same general provisions in the case of a termination of employment in connection with or following a change of control Event, except that Mr. Lansing’s severance will be in the amount of three times the sum of base salary and the incentive payment for the prior fiscal year, and he is entitled to 18 months of continued benefits pursuant to COBRA.

In all of the Management Agreements, an “Event” generally means (i) the acquisition by a person of 30% or more the shares of our Company’s common stock, (ii) continuing directors no longer represent a majority of the members of the Board, (iii) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company or a statutory share exchange unless immediately following such transaction, all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners of the Company’s stock before the transaction own more than 70% of the common stock of the resulting corporation, or (iv) approval by the Company’s stockholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets unless the sale is made to a corporation more than 70% of whose shares are held by persons who were the beneficial owners of the Company’s stock before the transaction.

In all of the Management Agreements, “Cause” generally means (i) willful and gross neglect by the executive officer of his duties, or (ii) a felony committed by the executive officer that is substantially detrimental to the Company.

In all of the Management Agreements, “Good Reason” generally means that one of the following conditions occurs without the executive officer’s consent and the Company does not cure the condition after receiving notice of it: (i) a material reduction in the executive officer’s authority, duty or responsibilities, (ii) a material reduction in the executive officer’s annual base salary or target incentive, (iii) a material reduction in the aggregate benefits the executive officer enjoys under the Company’s wellness and compensatory programs, (iv) a requirement that the executive officer relocate to an office located more than 50 miles away from his current office location, or (iv) a failure by the Company to obtain agreement from any successor to assume the Letter Agreement.

If an executive officer receives any payment or benefit under his management agreement following termination of employment, he will not be entitled to receive severance benefits under his Letter Agreement.

Severance Arrangements

See the description of the named executive officers’ Letter Agreements above for information about severance pay and benefits.

Equity Awards

Under the stock option and RSU agreements entered into pursuant to the Company’s 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “1992 LTIP”), those equity awards will vest in full upon an award recipient’s death or disability. The 2012 LTIP also provides for full vesting of equity awards granted under that plan, including stock options and RSUs, in the event of a recipient’s death or disability. In addition, the award agreements for the PSUs granted to executive officers under the 2012 LTIP provide that 50% of the number of units subject to those awards will vest upon the death or disability of the award recipient or upon a change in control in which the Company does not survive as an operating company or only survives as a subsidiary of another entity; if the death or disability or change in control occurs during the performance period, the target number of units will be deemed earned and will vest in full, and if the death or disability or change in control occurs after the units have been earned but before they are fully vested, the number of earned units will vest in full.

The award agreements for the MSUs granted to executive officers under the 2012 LTIP provide that upon a change in control in which the Company does not survive as an operating company or only survives as a subsidiary of another entity (i) each performance period is truncated to end on the day of such change in control; (ii) the units earned at the end of each adjusted performance period are calculated with a modified calculation of the relative return factor; (iii) a portion of these adjusted period earned units vest immediately (determined by multiplying the adjusted period earned units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the adjusted performance period and the denominator of which is the days in the performance period before adjustment; and (iv) the unvested units after the previous calculation will vest monthly. Furthermore, if the award recipient is terminated for reasons other than Cause all unvested units described in the preceding sentence will vest in full. Except upon an award recipient’s death or disability after the final performance period in the applicable award agreement for an MSU (where only earned units will vest in full), all units will vest in full upon an award recipient’s death or disability.

Insurance Benefits

All FICO employees are covered under our Short and Long Term Disability Policies. For the first six months of a disability, the employee receives 60% of base salary under the Short Term Disability Policy. After six months of disability, the employee becomes eligible to receive 50% of base salary (up to a maximum of $5,000 per month) under the Long Term Disability Policy. These payments continue for the first five years as long as the employee cannot perform the essential functions of his or her own occupation. If after five years the employee is still unable to perform the essential functions of his or her own occupation, he or she can receive benefits until he or she reaches the age of 65. Supplemental disability insurance can also be purchased by employees to increase the percentage of base salary to which they are entitled under the policies.

All employees are also covered by a Company-provided life insurance policy, which provides for the lump sum payment of one times the employee’s base salary in the event of death, or two times base salary in the event of accidental death. Additional amounts may be payable under a Company-provided business travel accident insurance policy.

Estimated Payments That Would Have Been Made to the Named Executive Officers

The tables below quantify the estimated payments and benefits that would have been provided to our named executive officers in connection with the termination of their employment under the circumstances indicated. In all cases, the information assumes that the triggering event occurred on the last day of fiscal 2015, and the price per share of our common stock is the closing market price on that day (which was $84.50). Benefits payable

HELPFUL INFORMATION AND ONLINE RESOURCES

Why did I receive this proxy statement?

The Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) to be held on February 24, 2016, because you were a stockholder of Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”) at the close of business on December 29, 2015, the record date, and are entitled to vote at the meeting.

This proxy statement, the proxy card and the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Proxy Material”) are being mailed to stockholders beginning on or about January 20, 2016. The proxy statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote at the Annual Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. We sent the Proxy Material directly to you. You have the right to vote these shares directly.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. In this case, the Proxy Material has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting by telephone or the Internet.

What am I voting on and how does the Board recommend that I vote?

Election of eight directors: A. George Battle, Greg R. Gianforte, Braden R. Kelly, James D. Kirsner, William J. Lansing, Marc F. McMorris, Joanna Rees and David A. Rey;

Approval and ratification of amendments to the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan;

Approval of the advisory (non-binding) resolution relating to the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement;

Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016; and

Any other such business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Board recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees to the Board of Directors, FOR the approval and ratification of the amendments to the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, FOR the approval of the advisory (non-binding) resolution relating to the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, and FOR the ratification of Deloitte’s appointment as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.

What is the voting requirement to elect the directors (Proposal 1)?

To be elected, the number of votes cast “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. The Company requires that all nominees submit an irrevocable letter of resignation as a condition to being named as a nominee, which resignation will be effective if (i) the nominee fails to receive a sufficient number of votes to be elected and (ii) the Board accepts such resignation. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted. Abstentions will not be counted “FOR” or “AGAINST” a nominee. Your broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on the election of directors, so any shares you hold in street name will not be cast if your broker, bank, trust or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from you. Therefore, broker non-votes will not be counted “FOR” or “AGAINST” a

nominee. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will tabulate affirmative votes, negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is the voting requirement to approve and ratify the amendments to the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Proposal 2)?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to approve and ratify the amendments to the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Abstentions will be counted toward a quorum and have the effect of negative votes with respect to this proposal. In the event that a broker indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular matter, such broker non-votes will also be counted toward a quorum and will have the same effect as negative votes. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will tabulate affirmative votes, negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is the voting requirement for advisory approval of the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement (Proposal 3)?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting is necessary for advisory approval of the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement. Because your vote on executive compensation is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Company or the Board of Directors. However, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive officer compensation programs. Abstentions will be counted toward a quorum and have the effect of negative votes with respect to this proposal. Your broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on compensation-related proposals, so any shares you hold in street name will not be cast if your broker, bank, trust or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from you. Therefore, broker non-votes will not be counted “FOR” or “AGAINST” approval. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will tabulate affirmative votes, negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is the voting requirement to ratify the appointment of Deloitte (Proposal 4)?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to ratify the appointment of Deloitte as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. Abstentions will be counted toward a quorum and have the effect of negative votes with respect to this proposal. In the event that a broker indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular matter, such broker non-votes will also be counted toward a quorum and will have the same effect as negative votes. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will tabulate affirmative votes, negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

What if other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting for stockholder action?

The Board knows of no other matters to be presented for stockholder action at the Annual Meeting. However, if other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy card will have discretion with respect to how to vote the shares represented by them.

How many votes do I have?

You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that you hold for each nominee for director and for each other matter presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting.

What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

•

Sending written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of FICO;

•

Submitting a new proxy by telephone, Internet or paper ballot after the date of the revoked proxy; or

•

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or nominee. You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a legal proxy as described in the answer to the previous question.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of election.

What shares are included on the proxy card?

The shares on your proxy card represent shares you own.

Is my vote confidential?

Any proxy, ballot or other voting material that identifies the particular vote of a stockholder and contains the stockholder’s request for confidential treatment will be kept confidential, except in the event of a contested proxy solicitation or as may be required by law. We may be informed whether or not a particular stockholder has voted and will have access to any comment written on a proxy, ballot or other material and to the identity of the commenting stockholder. The inspector of election will be an independent third party not under our control.

What constitutes a quorum?

As of the record date, 31,367,895 shares of FICO common stock were issued and outstanding. A majority of the outstanding shares, present or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the purpose of adopting proposals at the Annual Meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy, then you will be considered part of the quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in determining if there is a quorum, but neither will be counted as votes cast.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

All stockholders as of the record date may attend the Annual Meeting but must have an admission ticket. If you are a stockholder of record, the ticket attached to the proxy card will admit you. If you are a beneficial owner, you may request a ticket by writing to the Corporate Secretary, 181 Metro Drive, Suite 700, San Jose, California 95110, or by faxing your request to 408-535-1529. You must provide evidence of your ownership of shares with your ticket request, which you can obtain from your broker, bank or nominee. We encourage you or your broker to fax your ticket request and proof of ownership in order to avoid any mail delays. Stockholders who arrive at the Annual Meeting without an admission ticket will be required to present identification matching the corresponding stockholder account name at the registration table located outside the meeting room. If you are a stockholder whose shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee, you will be asked to certify to such ownership at the registration table prior to the Annual Meeting.

What are FICO’s costs associated with this proxy solicitation?

We have hired Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of votes for $12,500 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. FICO employees, officers and directors may also solicit proxies. We will bear the

expense of preparing, printing and mailing the Proxy Material, and reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to the owners of common stock.

How can I obtain the Company’s corporate governance information?

3. Administration of the Plan.

(a) Administration. The authority to control and manage the operations and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Committee in accordance with this Section 3.

(b) Scope of Authority. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to take such actions as it deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan, including:

(1) determining the Service Providers to whom Awards will be granted, the timing of each such Award, the types of Awards and the number of Shares or amount of cash covered by each Award, the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions and other provisions of Awards, and the manner in which Awards are paid or settled;

(2) cancelling or suspending an Award or the exercisability of an Award, accelerating the vesting or extending the exercise period of an Award, or otherwise amending the terms and conditions of any outstanding Award, subject to the requirements of Sections 16(d) and 16(e);

(3) establishing, amending or rescinding rules to administer the Plan, interpreting the Plan and any Award or Agreement made under the Plan, and making all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan; and

(4) taking such actions as are described in Section 3(c) with respect to Awards to foreign Service Providers.

(c) Awards to Foreign Service Providers. The Committee may grant Awards to Service Providers who are foreign nationals, who are located outside of the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory requirements of countries outside of the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to comply with applicable foreign laws and regulatory requirements and to promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan. In connection therewith, the Committee may establish such subplans and modify exercise procedures and other Plan rules and procedures to the extent such actions are deemed necessary or desirable, and may take any other action that it deems advisable to obtain local regulatory approvals or to comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions.

(d) Acts of the Committee; Delegation. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of the Committee, and any act of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present or any act unanimously approved in writing by all members of the Committee shall be the act of the Committee. Any such action of the Committee shall be valid and effective even if the members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied all of the criteria for membership in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 2(i). To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law or stock exchange rules, the Committee may delegate all or any portion of its authority under the Plan to any one or more of its members or, as to Awards to Participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to one or more executive officers of the Company. The Committee may also delegate non-discretionary administrative responsibilities in connection with the Plan to such other persons as it deems advisable.

(e) Finality of Decisions. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan and of any Award or Agreement made under the Plan and all related decisions or resolutions of the Board or Committee shall be final and binding on all parties with an interest therein.

A-4

(f) Indemnification. Each person who is or has been a member of the Committee or of the Board, and any other person to whom the Committee delegates authority under the Plan, shall be indemnified by the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against liabilities and expenses imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claims against such person by reason of the performance of the individual’s duties under the Plan. This right to indemnification is conditioned upon such person providing the Company an opportunity, at the Company’s expense, to handle and defend the claims before such person undertakes to handle and defend them on such person’s own behalf. The Company will not be required to indemnify any person for any amount paid in settlement of a claim unless the Company has first consented in writing to the settlement. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such person or persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise.

4. Shares Available Under the Plan.

(a) Shares Available. Subject to Section 4(b) and to adjustment as provided in Section 13(a), the number of Shares that may be the subject of Awards and issued under the Plan shall be 12,600,000. Shares to be issued under the Plan shall either be authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares. In determining the number of Shares to be counted against this share reserve in connection with any Award, the following rules shall apply:

(1) Shares that are subject to Awards of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against the share reserve as one Share for every one Share granted.

(2) Shares that are subject to Full Value Awards shall be counted against the share reserve as 2.17 Shares for every one Share granted.

(3) Where the number of Shares subject to an Award is variable on the Grant Date, the number of Shares to be counted against the share reserve prior to the settlement of the Award shall be the maximum number of Shares that could be received under that particular Award.

(4) Where two or more types of Awards are granted to a Participant in tandem with each other, such that the exercise of one type of Award with respect to a number of Shares cancels at least an equal number of Shares of the other, the number of Shares to be counted against the share reserve shall be the largest number of Shares that would be counted against the share reserve under either of the Awards.

(5) Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the share reserve, nor shall they reduce the Shares authorized for grant to a Participant in any calendar year.

(b) Effect of Forfeitures and Other Actions. Any Shares subject to an Award that is forfeited, expires, is settled for cash or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, cash settlement or non-issuance, again become available for Awards under this Plan and correspondingly increase the number of Shares available for grant and issuance under Section 4(a) as provided in Section 4(c). The following Shares shall not, however, again become available for Awards or increase the number of Shares available for grant under Section 4(a): (i) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the purchase price of a stock option issued under this Plan, (ii) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award, (iii) Shares repurchased by the Company with proceeds received from the exercise of an option issued under this Plan, and (iv) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right issued under this Plan that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of that Stock Appreciation Right upon its exercise.

(c) Counting Shares Again Available. Each Share that again becomes available for Awards as provided in Section 4(b) shall increase the number of Shares available for grant under Section 4(a) by (i) one Share if such Share was subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan, and (ii) 2.17 Shares if such Share was subject to a Full Value Award under the Plan.

(d) Effect of Plans Operated by Acquired Companies. If a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by shareholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares avail-

A-5

able for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of Shares authorized for grant under the Plan. Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Employees or Non-Employee Directors prior to such acquisition or combination.

(e) No Fractional Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the number of Shares subject to an Award shall always be a whole number. No fractional Shares may be issued under the Plan, and in connection with any calculation under the Plan that would otherwise result in the issuance or withholding of a fractional Share, the number of Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.

(f) Individual Option and SAR Limit. The aggregate number of Shares subject to Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights granted during any calendar year to any one Participant shall not exceed 1,000,000 Shares.

(g) Limit on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. The aggregate grant date fair value (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the United States) of all Option, SAR and Full Value Awards granted during any calendar year to any Non-Employee Director (excluding any such Awards granted at the election of a Non-Employee Director in lieu of all or any portion of retainers or fees otherwise payable to Non-Employee Directors in cash) shall not exceed $800,000.

5. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan is limited to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Employees.

6. General Terms of Awards.

(a) Award Agreement. Except for any Award that involves only the immediate issuance of unrestricted Shares, each Award shall be evidenced by an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions applicable to the Award (and not inconsistent with the Plan) as determined by the Committee. An Award to a Participant may be made individually or in combination with any form of Award. Two types of Awards may be made in tandem with each other such that the exercise of one type of Award with respect to a number of Shares reduces the number of Shares subject to the related Award by at least an equal amount.

(b) Vesting and Term. Each Agreement shall set forth the period until the applicable Award is scheduled to expire (which shall not be more than ten years from the Grant Date) and, consistent with the requirements of this Section 6(b), the applicable vesting conditions and any applicable performance period. Awards that vest based solely on the satisfaction by the Participant of service-based vesting conditions shall be subject to a vesting period of not less than one year from the applicable Grant Date, and Awards whose grant or vesting is subject to the satisfaction of performance goals over a performance period shall be subject to a performance period of not less than one year. The foregoing minimum vesting and performance periods will not, however, apply in connection with: (i) a Change in Control, (ii) a termination of Service due to death or Disability, (iii) a Substitute Award that does not reduce the vesting period of the award being replaced, (iv) Awards made to Non-Employee Directors who elect to receive such Awards in exchange for cash compensation to which they would otherwise be or become entitled, and (v) Awards involving an aggregate number of Shares not in excess of 5% of the Plan’s share reserve specified in Section 4(a). For purposes of Awards to Non-Employee Directors, a vesting period will be deemed to be one year if it runs from the date of one annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders to the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

(c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 6(c), (i) during the lifetime of a Participant, only the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative may exercise an Option or SAR, or receive payment with respect to any other Award; and (ii) no Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section 6(c) shall be of no effect. The Committee may, however, provide in an Agreement or otherwise that an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) may be transferred pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order

A-6

or may be transferable by gift to any “family member” (as defined in General Instruction A.1(a)(5) to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933) of the Participant. Any Award held by a transferee shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to that Award immediately before the transfer thereof. For purposes of any provision of the Plan relating to notice to a Participant or to acceleration or termination of an Award upon the termination of Service of a Participant, the references to “Participant” shall mean the original grantee of an Award and not any transferee.

(d) Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive a payment under any Award payable on or after the Participant’s death. Any such designation shall be on a written or electronic form approved by the Company and shall be effective upon its receipt by the Company or an agent selected by the Company.

(e) Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, and subject to Section 13 of this Plan, if a Participant’s Service with the Company and all of its Affiliates terminates, the following provisions shall apply (in all cases subject to the originally scheduled expiration of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable):

(1) Upon termination of Service for any reason other than death or Disability, all unvested and unexercisable portions of any outstanding Awards shall be immediately forfeited without consideration, and the currently vested and exercisable portions of Options and SARs may be exercised for a period of 90 days after the date of such termination or, in the case of a Participant who is 65 or more years old or who is 55 or more years old with ten or more years of continuous Service, for a period of one year after the date of such termination. If the Participant breaches any noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or other agreement with the Company or any Affiliate during such 90-day or one-year period, however, all unexercised portions of any outstanding Awards may be immediately forfeited without consideration at the Committee’s discretion.

(2) Upon termination of Service due to death or Disability, all outstanding Options and SARs shall become fully exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of one year after the date of such termination, and all outstanding Full Value Awards and Cash Incentive Awards shall fully vest immediately. All performance measures applicable to any performance-based Awards will be deemed to have been satisfied at targeted performance.

(f) Rights as Shareholder. No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Award unless and until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of the Shares, if any, to which the Award relates.

(g) Performance-Based Awards. Any Award may be granted as a performance-based Award if the Committee establishes one or more measures of corporate, Subsidiary, business unit or individual performance which must be attained, and the performance period over which the specified performance is to be attained, as a condition to the vesting, exercisability, lapse of restrictions and/or settlement of such Award. In connection with any such Award, the Committee shall determine the extent to which performance measures have been attained and other applicable terms and conditions have been satisfied, and the degree to which vesting, exercisability, lapse of restrictions and/or settlement in cash or Shares of such Award has been earned. Any performance-based Award that is intended by the Committee to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall additionally be subject to the requirements of Section 12 of this Plan. Except as provided in Section 12 with respect to Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall also have the authority to provide, in an Agreement or otherwise, for the modification of a performance period and/or an adjustment or waiver of the achievement of performance goals upon the occurrence of certain events, which may include but are not limited to a Change of Control, a recapitalization, a change in the accounting practices of the Company, or the Participant’s death or Disability.

(h) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. No dividends, dividend equivalents or distributions will be paid with respect to Shares subject to an Option or SAR. Any dividends or distributions paid with respect to Shares that are subject to the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares to which such dividends or distributions relate, except for regular cash dividends on Shares subject to the

A-7

unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award that is subject only to service-based vesting conditions. In its discretion, the Committee may provide in an Award Agreement for a Stock Unit Award or an Other Stock-Based Award that the Participant will be entitled to receive dividend equivalents on the units or other Share equivalents subject to the Award based on dividends actually declared on outstanding Shares. The terms of any dividend equivalents will be as set forth in the applicable Agreement, including the time and form of payment and whether such dividend equivalents will be credited with interest or deemed to be reinvested in additional units or Share equivalents. Dividend equivalents paid with respect to units or Share equivalents that are subject to the unvested portion of a Stock Unit Award or an Other Stock-Based Award whose vesting is subject to the satisfaction of specified performance objectives will be subject to the same restrictions as the units or Share equivalents to which such dividend equivalents relate. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in an Agreement for restrictions on dividends and dividend equivalents in addition to those specified in this Section 6(h).

7. Stock Option Awards.

(a) Type and Exercise Price. The Agreement pursuant to which an Option is granted shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option. The exercise price at which each Share subject to an Option may be purchased shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, except in the case of Substitute Awards (to the extent consistent with Code Section 409A).

(b) Payment of Exercise Price. The purchase price of the Shares with respect to which an Option is exercised shall be payable in full at the time of exercise. The purchase price may be paid in cash or in such other manner as the Committee may permit, including payment under a broker-assisted sale and remittance program acceptable to the Company or by withholding Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon exercise of the Option or by delivery to the Company of Shares (by actual delivery or attestation) already owned by the Participant (in each case, such Shares having a Fair Market Value as of the date the Option is exercised equal to the purchase price of the Shares being purchased).

(c) Exercisability and Expiration. Each Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part on the terms provided in the Agreement. No Option shall be exercisable at any time after its scheduled expiration. When an Option is no longer exercisable, it shall be deemed to have terminated.

(d) Incentive Stock Options.

(1) An Option will constitute an Incentive Stock Option only if the Participant receiving the Option is an Employee, and only to the extent that (i) it is so designated in the applicable Agreement and (ii) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Option’s Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options held by the Participant first become exercisable in any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Company and its Affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. To the extent an Option granted to a Participant exceeds this limit, the Option shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall equal the maximum number of Shares that may be the subject of Awards and issued under the Plan as provided in the first sentence of Section 4(a).

(2) No Participant may receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan if, immediately after the grant of such Award, the Participant would own (after application of the rules contained in Code Section 424(d)) Shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, unless (i) the option price for that Incentive Stock Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to that Incentive Stock Option on the Grant Date and (ii) that Option will expire no later than five years after its Grant Date.

(3) For purposes of continued Service by a Participant who has been granted an Incentive Stock Option, no approved leave of absence may exceed three months unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is provided by statute or contract. If reemployment is not so provided, then on the date six months following the first day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

(4) If an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Code Section 422, such Option shall thereafter be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

(5) The Agreement covering an Incentive Stock Option shall contain such other terms and provisions that the Committee determines necessary to qualify the Option as an Incentive Stock Option.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Nature of Award. An Award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as are determined by the Committee, and shall provide a Participant the right to receive upon exercise of the SAR all or a portion of the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise of the SAR of the number of Shares as to which the SAR is being exercised, over (ii) the aggregate exercise price for such number of Shares. The per Share exercise price for any SAR Award shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, except in the case of Substitute Awards (to the extent consistent with Code Section 409A).

(b) Exercisability and Expiration. Each SAR may be exercisable in whole or in part at the times, on the terms and in the manner provided in the Agreement. No SAR shall be exercisable at any time after its scheduled expiration. When a SAR is no longer exercisable, it shall be deemed to have terminated. Upon exercise of a SAR, payment to the Participant shall be made at such time or times as shall be provided in the Agreement in the form of cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares as determined by the Committee. The Agreement may provide for a limitation upon the amount or percentage of the total appreciation on which payment (whether in cash and/or Shares) may be made in the event of the exercise of a SAR.

9. Restricted Stock Awards.

(a) Vesting and Consideration. Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to vesting conditions, and the corresponding lapse of forfeiture conditions and other restrictions, based on such factors and occurring over such period of time as the Committee may determine in its discretion. The Committee may provide whether any consideration other than Services must be received by the Company or any Affiliate as a condition precedent to the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, and may correspondingly provide for Company reacquisition or repurchase rights if such additional consideration has been required and some or all of a Restricted Stock Award does not vest.

(b) Shares Subject to Restricted Stock Awards. Unvested Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by a book-entry in the name of the Participant with the Company’s transfer agent or by one or more stock certificates issued in the name of the Participant. Any such stock certificate shall be deposited with the Company or its designee, together with an assignment separate from the certificate, in blank, signed by the Participant, and bear an appropriate legend referring to the restricted nature of the Restricted Stock evidenced thereby. Any book-entry shall be subject to transfer restrictions and accompanied by a similar legend. Upon the vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock and the corresponding lapse of the restrictions and forfeiture conditions, the corresponding transfer restrictions and restrictive legend will be removed from the book-entry evidencing such Shares or the certificate evidencing such Shares, and any such certificate shall be delivered to the Participant. Such vested Shares may, however, remain subject to additional restrictions as provided in Section 18(c). Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or an applicable Agreement, a Participant with a Restricted Stock Award shall have all the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the Shares of Restricted Stock.

10. Stock Unit Awards.

(a) Vesting and Consideration. A Stock Unit Award shall be subject to vesting conditions, and the corresponding lapse of forfeiture conditions and other restrictions, based on such factors and occurring over such period of time as the Committee may determine in its discretion. The Committee may provide whether any consideration other than Services must be received by the Company or any Affiliate as a condition precedent to the settlement of a Stock Unit Award.

(b) Payment of Award. Following the vesting of a Stock Unit Award, settlement of the Award and payment to the Participant shall be made at such time or times in the form of cash, Shares (which may themselves be

A-9

considered Restricted Stock under the Plan subject to restrictions on transfer and forfeiture conditions) or a combination of cash and Shares as determined by the Committee. If the Stock Unit Award is not by its terms exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, then the applicable Agreement shall contain terms and conditions intended to avoid adverse tax consequences specified in Code Section 409A.

11. Cash-Based and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Cash Incentive Awards. A Cash Incentive Award shall be considered a performance-based Award for purposes of, and subject to, Section 6(g), the payment of which shall be contingent upon the degree to which one or more specified performance goals have been achieved over the specified performance period. Cash Incentive Awards may be granted to any Participant in such amounts and upon such terms and at such times as shall be determined by the Committee, and may be denominated in units that have a dollar value established by the Committee as of the Grant Date. Following the completion of the applicable performance period and the vesting of a Cash Incentive Award, payment of the settlement amount of the Award to the Participant shall be made at such time or times in the form of cash or other forms of Awards under the Plan (valued for these purposes at their grant date fair value) or a combination of cash and other forms of Awards as determined by the Committee and specified in the applicable Agreement. If a Cash Incentive Award is not by its terms exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, then the applicable Agreement shall contain terms and conditions intended to avoid adverse tax consequences specified in Code Section 409A.

(b) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may from time to time grant Stock and other Awards that are valued by reference to and/or payable in whole or in part in Shares under the Plan. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, which shall be consistent with the terms and purposes of the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct the Company to issue Shares subject to restrictive legends and/or stop transfer instructions that are consistent with the terms and conditions of the Award to which the Shares relate.

12. Performance-Based Compensation.

(a) Designation of Awards. If the Committee determines at the time a Full Value Award or a Cash Incentive Award is granted to a Participant that such Participant is, or is likely to be, a “covered employee” for purposes of Code Section 162(m) as of the end of the tax year in which the Company would ordinarily claim a tax deduction in connection with such Award, then the Committee may provide that this Section 12 will be applicable to such Award, which shall be considered Performance-Based Compensation.

(b) Compliance with Code Section 162(m). If an Award is subject to this Section 12, then the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of cash, Shares or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement over the applicable performance period of one or more performance goals based on one or more of the performance measures specified in Section 12(d). The Committee will select the applicable performance measure(s) and specify the performance goal(s) based on those performance measures for any performance period, specify in terms of an objective formula or standard the method for calculating the amount payable to a Participant if the performance goal(s) are satisfied, and certify the degree to which applicable performance goals have been satisfied and any amount payable in connection with an Award subject to this Section 12, all within the time periods prescribed by and consistent with the other requirements of Code Section 162(m). In specifying the performance goals applicable to any performance period, the Committee may provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments shall be made to the performance measures on which the performance goals are based, which may include adjustments that would cause such measures to be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of Rule 101 under Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee may also adjust performance measures for a performance period to the extent permitted by Code Section 162(m) in connection with an event described in Section 13(a) to prevent the dilution or enlargement of a Participant’s rights with respect to Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee may adjust downward, but not upward, any amount determined to be otherwise payable in connection with such an Award. The Committee may also provide, in an Agreement or otherwise, that the achievement of specified performance goals in connection with an Award subject to this Section 12 may be waived upon the death or Disability of the Participant or under any other circumstance with respect to which the

A-10

existence of such possible waiver will not cause the Award to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m).

(c) Limitations. With respect to Awards of Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum number of Shares that may be the subject of any Full Value Awards that are denominated in Shares or Share equivalents and that are granted to any one Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed 1,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13(a)). The maximum amount payable with respect to any Cash Incentive Awards and Full Value Awards that are denominated other than in Shares or Share equivalents and that are granted to any one Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $6,000,000 multiplied by the number of full or partial years in the applicable performance period.

(d) Performance Measures. For purposes of any Full Value Award or Cash Incentive Award considered Performance-Based Compensation subject to this Section 12, the performance measures to be utilized shall be limited to one or a combination of two or more of the following: revenue or net sales; gross profit; operating profit; net income; earnings before income taxes; earnings before one or more of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments; profitability as measured by return ratios (including, but not limited to, return on assets, return on equity, return on investment and return on revenues or gross profit) or by the degree to which any of the foregoing earnings measures exceed a percentage of revenues or gross profit; cash flow; market share; margins (including one or more of gross, operating and net earnings margins); stock price; total stockholder return; asset quality; non-performing assets; operating assets; operating expenses; balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; improvement in or attainment of expense levels or cost savings; operating asset turnover; accounts receivable levels (including measured in terms of days sales outstanding); economic value added; improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; employee retention; customer satisfaction; implementation or completion of critical projects; and growth in customer base. Any performance goal based on one or more of the foregoing performance measures may, in the Committee’s discretion, be expressed in absolute amounts, on a per share basis (basic or diluted), relative to one or more other performance measures, as a growth rate or change from preceding periods, or as a comparison to the performance of specified companies or a published or special index (including stock market indices) or other external measures, and may relate to one or any combination of Company, Affiliate or business unit performance.

13. Changes in Capitalization, Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation) that causes the per share value of Shares to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization through an extraordinary dividend, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to (i) the aggregate number and kind of Shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the exercise price of outstanding Options and SARs, and (iv) any maximum limitations prescribed by the Plan with respect to certain types of Awards or the grants to individuals of certain types of Awards. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of Participants. In either case, any such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 13(a) in connection with the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company, or in a manner that would cause Incentive Stock Options to violate Section 422(b) of the Code or cause an Award to be subject to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Change in Control Involving Certain Mergers or Acquisitions. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable Agreement, the following provisions shall apply to outstanding Awards in the event of a Change in Control as a result of which the Company does not survive as an operating company or survives only as a subsidiary of another entity.

(1) Continuation, Assumption or Replacement of Awards. In the event of such a Change in Control, then the surviving or successor entity (or its Parent) may continue, assume or replace Awards outstanding as of

A-11

the date of the Change in Control (with such adjustments as may be required or permitted by Sections 13(a) and 6(g)), and such Awards or replacements therefor shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms, subject to Section 13(b)(3) below. A surviving or successor entity may elect to continue, assume or replace only some Awards or portions of Awards. For purposes of this Section 13(b)(1), an Award shall be considered assumed or replaced if, in connection with the Change in Control and in a manner consistent with Code Sections 409A and 424, either (i) the contractual obligations represented by the Award are expressly assumed by the surviving or successor entity (or its Parent) with appropriate adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to the Award and the exercise price thereof that preserves the intrinsic value of the Award existing at the time of the Change in Control, or (ii) the Participant has received a comparable equity-based award that preserves the intrinsic value of the Award existing at the time of the Change in Control and provides for a vesting or exercisability schedule that is the same as or more favorable to the Participant.

(2) Payment for Awards. If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with such a Change in Control, then such outstanding Awards shall be canceled at or immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control in exchange for payments in cash to the holders as provided in this Section 13(b)(2). The payment for any canceled Award that was denominated in Shares shall be in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Committee) of the consideration that would otherwise be received in the Change in Control for the number of Shares remaining subject to the Award (regardless of whether such Shares are vested or exercisable at the time of the Change of Control), and (ii) the aggregate exercise price (if any) for such Shares. If the amount determined pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence is less than or equal to the amount determined pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence with respect to any Award, such Award may be canceled pursuant to this Section 13(b)(2) without payment of any kind to the affected Participant. In the case of performance-based Awards, the number of Shares remaining subject to an Award or the settlement amount of a Cash Incentive Award shall be calculated by deeming all performance measures to have been satisfied at targeted performance.

(3) Termination After Continuation, Assumption or Replacement. The Committee may provide in its discretion (in the applicable Agreement or otherwise) that if and to the extent that Awards are continued, assumed or replaced under the circumstances described in Section 13(b)(1), and if a Participant experiences an involuntary termination of Service for reasons other than Cause within a specified amount of time following the Change in Control, then (i) outstanding Options and SARs issued to the Participant that are not yet fully exercisable shall immediately become exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable for a period of time to be determined by the Committee (but in no event greater than one year) following the Participant’s termination of Service, and (ii) any Full Value Awards and Cash Incentive Awards that are not yet fully vested shall immediately vest in full.

(c) Other Change in Control. In connection with a Change in Control that does not fit the circumstances described in Section 13(b), the Committee may provide in its discretion (in the applicable Agreement or otherwise) for one or more of the following: (i) that any Award shall become fully vested and exercisable upon the occurrence of the Change in Control or upon the involuntary termination of the Participant without Cause within a specified amount of time following the Change in Control, (ii) that any Option or SAR shall remain exercisable during all or some specified portion of its remaining term, or (iii) that Awards shall be canceled in exchange for payments in a manner similar to that provided in Section 13(b)(2). The Committee will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in such circumstances.

(d) Dissolution or Liquidation. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable Agreement, in the event the shareholders of the Company approve the complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Awards shall vest and become fully exercisable, and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of any such proposed action. The Committee will notify each Participant as soon as practicable of such accelerated vesting and exercisability and pending termination.

14. Plan Participation and Service Provider Status. Status as a Service Provider shall not be construed as a commitment that any Award will be made under the Plan to that Service Provider or to eligible Service Providers

A-12

generally. Nothing in the Plan or in any Agreement or related documents shall confer upon any Service Provider or Participant any right to continued Service with the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall it interfere with or limit in any way any right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the person’s Service at any time with or without Cause or change such person’s compensation, other benefits, job responsibilities or title.

15. Tax Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the right to (i) withhold from any cash payment under the Plan or any other compensation owed to a Participant an amount sufficient to cover any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld with respect to the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of an Award, and (ii) require a Participant or other person receiving Shares under the Plan to pay a cash amount sufficient to cover any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld before actual receipt of those Shares. In lieu of all or any part of a cash payment from a person receiving Shares under the Plan, the Committee may permit the individual to cover all or any part of the required withholdings (up to the Participant’s minimum required withholding rate) through a reduction in the number of Shares delivered or a delivery or tender to the Company of Shares held by the Participant or other person, in each case valued in the same manner as used in computing the withholding taxes or amounts under applicable laws.

16. Effective Date, Duration, Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective on the date it is approved by the Board, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders, and the date of such Board approval shall be considered the date of the Plan’s adoption for purposes of Treasury Regulation §1.422-2(b)(2)(i). No Awards shall be made under the Plan prior to its effective date. If the Company’s shareholders fail to approve the Plan within 12 months of its approval by the Board, the Plan and any Awards made thereunder shall be of no further force or effect.

(b) Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall remain in effect until all Shares subject to it shall be distributed, the Plan is terminated pursuant to Section 16(c), or the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, whichever occurs first (the “Termination Date”). Awards made before the Termination Date shall continue to be outstanding in accordance with their terms unless limited in the applicable Agreements.

(c) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may at any time terminate, suspend or amend the Plan. The Company shall submit any amendment of the Plan to its shareholders for approval only to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or the rules of any securities exchange on which the Shares may then be listed. No termination, suspension, or amendment of the Plan may materially impair the rights of any Participant under a previously granted Award without the Participant’s consent, unless such action is necessary to comply with applicable law or stock exchange rules.

(d) Amendment of Awards. Subject to Section 16(e), the Committee may unilaterally amend the terms of any Agreement previously granted, except that no such amendment may materially impair the rights of any Participant under the applicable Award without the Participant’s consent, unless such amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or stock exchange rules or any compensation recovery policy as provided in Section 18(i)(2).

(e) No Option or SAR Repricing. Except as provided in Section 13(a), no Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan may be amended to decrease the exercise price thereof, be cancelled in exchange for the grant of any new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise price or any new Full Value Award, be repurchased by the Company or any Affiliate, or otherwise be subject to any action that would be treated under accounting rules or otherwise as a “repricing” of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, unless such action is first approved by the Company’s shareholders.

17. Substitute Awards. The Committee may also grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for, or in connection with the assumption of, existing awards granted or issued by another corporation and assumed or otherwise agreed to be provided for by the Company pursuant to or by reason of a transaction involving a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation to which the Company or an Affiliate is a party. The terms and conditions of the Substitute Awards may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan to the extent that the Committee at the time of the grant may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are granted.

A-13

18. Other Provisions.

(a) Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. None of the Company, its Affiliates, the Committee, nor the Board shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under the Plan nor shall anything contained in the Plan or any action taken pursuant to its provisions create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and/or its Affiliates, and a Participant. To the extent any person has or acquires a right to receive a payment in connection with an Award under the Plan, this right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(b) Limits of Liability. Except as may be required by law, neither the Company nor any member of the Board or of the Committee, nor any other person participating (including participation pursuant to a delegation of authority under Section 3(d) of the Plan) in any determination of any question under the Plan, or in the interpretation, administration or application of the Plan, shall have any liability to any party for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith under the Plan.

(c) Compliance with Applicable Legal Requirements. No Shares distributable pursuant to the Plan shall be issued and delivered unless the issuance of the Shares complies with all applicable legal requirements, including compliance with the provisions of applicable securities laws, and the requirements of any securities exchanges on which the Company’s Shares may, at the time, be listed. During any period in which the offering and issuance of Shares under the Plan are not registered under federal or state securities laws, Participants shall acknowledge that they are acquiring Shares under the Plan for investment purposes and not for resale, and that Shares may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under, or an exemption from the registration requirements of, such securities laws. Any book-entry or stock certificate evidencing Shares issued under the Plan that are subject to such securities law restrictions shall be accompanied by or bear an appropriate restrictive legend.

(d) Other Benefit and Compensation Programs. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the termination, indemnity or severance pay laws of any country or state and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan, contract or similar arrangement provided by the Company or an Affiliate unless expressly so provided by such other plan, contract or arrangement, or unless the Committee expressly determines that an Award or portion of an Award should be included to accurately reflect competitive compensation practices or to recognize that an Award has been made in lieu of a portion of competitive cash compensation.

(e) Governing Law. To the extent that federal laws do not otherwise control, the Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles and shall be construed accordingly.

(f) Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

A-14

(g) Code Section 409A. It is intended that (i) all Awards of Options, SARs and Restricted Stock under the Plan will not provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A and thereby be exempt from Code Section 409A, and (ii) all other Awards under the Plan will either not provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the Committee shall endeavor to structure Awards and administer and interpret the Plan in accordance with this intent. The Plan and any Agreement may be unilaterally amended by the Company in any manner deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee or Board in order to maintain such exemption from or compliance with Code Section 409A, and any such amendment shall conclusively be presumed to be necessary to comply with applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Agreement, with respect to any Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A:

(1) If any amount is payable under such Award upon a termination of Service, a termination of Service will be deemed to have occurred only at such time as the Participant has experienced a “separation from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A; and

(2) If any amount shall be payable with respect to any such Award as a result of a Participant’s “separation from service” at such time as the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then no payment shall be made, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, prior to the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the Participant’s separation from Service or (ii) the Participant’s death. Unless the Committee has adopted a specified employee identification policy as contemplated by Code Section 409A, specified employees will be identified in accordance with the default provisions specified under Code Section 409A.

None of the Company, the Committee nor any other person involved with the administration of this Plan shall in any way be responsible for ensuring the exemption of any Award from, or compliance by any Award with, the requirements of Code Section 409A. By accepting an Award under this Plan, each Participant acknowledges that the Company has no duty or obligation to design or administer the Plan or Awards granted thereunder in a manner that minimizes a Participant’s tax liabilities, including the avoidance of any additional tax liabilities under Code Section 409A.

(h) Rule 16b-3. It is intended that the Plan and all Awards granted pursuant to it shall be administered by the Committee so as to permit the Plan and Awards to comply with Exchange Act Rule 16b-3. If any provision of the Plan or of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 18(h), that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and deemed amended in the manner determined by the Committee so as to avoid the conflict. To the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with this intent, the provision shall be deemed void as applied to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent permitted by law and in the manner deemed advisable by the Committee.

(i) Forfeiture and Compensation Recovery.

(1) The Committee may specify in an Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recovery by the Company upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include termination of Service for Cause, violation of any material Company or Affiliate policy, breach of noncompetition, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions that apply to the Participant, a determination that the payment of the Award was based on an incorrect determination that financial or other criteria were met or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates.

(2) Awards and any compensation associated therewith may be made subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to any compensation recovery policy adopted by the Board or the Committee at any time, including in response to the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law. Any Agreement may be unilaterally amended by the Committee to comply with any such compensation recovery policy.
