The annual incentive awards were made pursuant to bonus guidelines used in the preparation of the Company’s budget for 2007. Although the budget was approved by the Board of Directors, including members of the Committee, the Committee retained full discretion to make such specific incentive bonus awards, if any, as it deemed appropriate, after the end of the year. The awards made were based on the Company’s achievement of revenue growth target for fiscal 2007, its earnings per share target for fiscal 2007 and the assessed contribution of each executive to the Company’s success based on individual goals. As a starting point, the Committee considered the target bonus for each executive used in the fiscal 2006 budget. This target was 75% of base salary for Lukas Braunschweiler, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and 40% of base salary for the other executive officers, but the annual incentive award for any executive may be more or less than the applicable target, depending on the Company’s financial performance, the Committee’s assessment of the executive’s contribution and such other factors as the Committee may choose to consider.
For fiscal 2008, the target bonus for Dr. Braunschweiler is 75% of base salary, 50% of base salary for Mr. Chance and 40% of base salary for the other executive officers. The Committee has full discretion to make such specific incentive bonus awards, if any, as it deems appropriate, after the end of the fiscal 2008. The awards made will be based on Company-wide growth targets for the year and the assessed contribution of each executive to the Company’s success based on individual goals.
