Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 2, 2006, the Board of Directors of Dover Corporation approved the recommendation of its Compensation Committee to increase the annual compensation of non-employee directors from $120,000 to $140,000, effective January 1, 2007. The percentage of the annual compensation payable in stock and cash remains 60% and 40%, respectively. The Board of Directors also approved an increase in the additional annual retainer for the Chair of the Audit Committee from $10,000 to $15,000 and the payment of an annual retainer of $7,500 to the Chair of each of the Compensation Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee, in each case effective January 1, 2007. The Board also adopted the Compensation Committee’s recommendation that, instead of receiving meeting fees for attending Subsidiary board meetings, Dover directors will receive an annual retainer of $15,000 for serving on a Subsidiary’s board, commencing January 1, 2007.
The Board adopted a policy, which will be stated in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines with effect from January 1, 2007, that Directors hold at any time at least the aggregate number of shares they would have received as the stock portion of their annual retainer during the past five years, net of an assumed 30% withholding tax.
