PROPOSAL 2: PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the charter amendment increasing the authorized number of shares of common stock from 380,000,000 shares to 980,000,000 shares and unanimously recommends that you vote FOR approval of the Authorized Shares Amendment. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is required to approve this amendment.

What is the proposed charter amendment?

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, currently authorizes the issuance of a total of 385,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 380,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. The charter amendment would increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 380,000,000 to 980,000,000 shares and is being proposed for approval at the 2006 annual meeting of our stockholders.

The full text of the proposed charter amendment is set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement. The newly authorized shares of common stock would constitute additional shares of the existing class of common stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently authorized. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock would not be affected.

Why is the amendment necessary?

On December 8, 2005, the Board of Directors voted to recommend to the stockholders that the number of authorized shares of the common stock of BJ Services be increased from 380,000,000 shares to 980,000,000 shares.

As of December 15, 2005, approximately 323.8 million shares were issued and outstanding and approximately          million shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to stock option and employee benefit plans, leaving fewer than                      shares of common stock currently unreserved and available for future use. After a stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend to stockholders on September 1, 2005, the Company has insufficient shares of common stock available for future use.

How will the additional authorized shares be used?

The Board believes that increasing our authorized common stock will afford BJ Services continued flexibility to issue common stock for valid corporate purposes, including acquisitions, financings, incentive compensation and further stock dividends or stock splits. The proposed charter amendment would permit the Board to issue the additional shares without further action or authorization by stockholders, except as may be required in certain cases by law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

A stockholder vote against the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of BJ Services common stock would have the effect of restricting the use of common stock by the Company. Although at present the Board of Directors has no plans, other than under existing stock incentive plans and agreements, to issue additional shares of common stock, the Board desires to have additional shares available to provide flexibility to use its common stock for business and financial purposes in the future. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed increase in the authorized shares of common stock is necessary to provide BJ Services with the flexibility to pursue corporate opportunities without added delay and expense.

Are there disadvantages of having additional authorized shares?

The Company’s stockholders do not have preemptive rights, which means they do not have the right to purchase shares in any future issuance of common stock in order to maintain their proportionate equity interests

5

in BJ Services. Although the Board of Directors will authorize the further issuance of common stock after the stock split only when it considers such issuance to be in the best interests of BJ Services, stockholders should recognize that any such issuance of additional stock would have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of BJ Services common stock and the equity and voting rights of holders of shares of common stock.

What are the potential anti-takeover effects of the charter amendment?

The increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of BJ Services without further action by the stockholders. Shares of authorized and unissued common stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that would make a change of control of BJ Services more difficult, and therefore less likely. The additional authorized shares could be used to discourage persons from attempting to gain control of BJ Services, by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding or increasing the voting power of persons who would support the Board in a potential takeover scenario. We are not currently aware of any pending or threatened efforts to acquire control of BJ Services.

In addition, the increased shares authorized by the charter amendment could permit the Board of Directors to issue common stock to persons supportive of management’s position. Such persons might then be in a position to vote to prevent or delay a proposed business combination that is deemed unacceptable to the Board of Directors, although perceived to be desirable by some stockholders. Any such issuance could provide management with a means to block any vote that might be used to effect a business combination in accordance with the certificate of incorporation.

What is the recommendation of the Board of Directors?

The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the proposed charter amendment and has determined that the increase in authorized common stock is in the best interests of BJ Services and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR the proposed charter amendment.

Is my vote important?

Your vote counts. Please note that not returning your proxy or abstaining from the vote on the charter amendment has the same effect as voting against the amendment. Approval of the amendment requires the affirmative vote of an absolute majority of the common stock outstanding, rather than simply a majority of those who actually vote.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Meetings.    During fiscal 2005, the Board of Directors held eight meetings of the full Board and sixteen meetings of committees. The Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting, the Executive Compensation Committee held two meetings and the Audit Committee held thirteen meetings during fiscal 2005. In addition, the Company’s independent auditors and management met with the Audit Committee Chairman prior to the issuance of earnings press releases, and the other members of the Audit Committee were invited to attend, and often do attend, these meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of committees of the Board on which he served. It is the policy of the Board of Directors that directors are encouraged to attend each meeting of stockholders, and all of the directors attended the last Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Compensation.    During the first two months of fiscal 2005, the Company paid non-employee directors a monthly retainer based on an annual retainer of $50,000, an annual retainer of $10,000 to committee chairman, and an attendance fee of $1,500 for each Board or committee meeting attended. Members of the Audit Committee receive a fee of $1,500 for each quarterly pre-earnings release conference call in which they participate. Effective December 1, 2004, the Company increased the annual retainer for non-employee directors to $60,000 and raised the annual retainer for the Audit Committee Chairman to $25,000. Committee chairmen are also paid an additional attendance or participation fee equal to 50% of the meeting fee paid to other committee members. The Lead Director also receives an annual retainer of $10,000. Directors who are employees of the Company are not paid directors’ fees. The Company reimburses the directors’ out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, under the terms of the 1995 Incentive Plan, the 1997 Incentive Plan and the 2000 Incentive Plan, non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards of options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Under the terms of the 2003 Incentive Plan, non-employee directors are eligible to receive any awards except incentive stock options. Each non-employee director was granted 16,000 options for fiscal 2005 (with an exercise price of $35.38). These awards were made under the 2000 Incentive Plan. Also, each non-employee director was granted 8,000 shares of phantom stock for fiscal 2005. These awards were made under the 2003 Incentive Plan. Each share of phantom stock represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock. These options and shares of phantom stock vest in one-third installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

Under the Directors’ Benefit Plan, which was adopted in 2000, each non-employee director serving on the Board for more than three years will earn an annual benefit for each year of service on the Board equal to the annual retainer in effect for directors at the time of termination of his Board service. Payment of the benefit commences following the director’s termination of service and continues for the number of years equal to his years of service as a director of the Company. Directors who have served on the Board for more than ten years will receive an amount based on their years of service, paid over a ten-year period. In the event of the death of a participant, benefit payments will be made to the director’s beneficiaries over the remainder of the benefit period. The three-year minimum period is waived in the case of death. For purposes of the plan, each director completes a “year of service” on the anniversary of the date on which he was first elected to the Board. The non-employee directors were first elected on the following dates: Mr. Heiligbrodt—May 7, 1992; Mr. Huff—May 7, 1992; Mr. Jordan—August 20, 1990; Mr. Patrick—April 13, 1995; Mr. Payne—January 28, 1999; and Mr. White—January 22, 2003.

Non-Management Sessions; Communications.    For fiscal 2005, the non-management directors met in three regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present. Mr. Payne was selected by the Board to serve as Lead Director for 2005 and presided at these sessions. Mr. Patrick has been selected by the Board to serve as Lead Director for 2006. Interested parties may communicate directly with the Board, non-management directors or the Lead Director by sending a letter to the attention of the Board, non-management directors or the Lead Director, as applicable, c/o Vice President and General Counsel, BJ Services Company, 5500 Northwest Central Drive, Houston, Texas 77092.

8

Independence.    The Board has determined that each of the directors except for Mr. Stewart is independent as that term is defined by rules of the New York Stock Exchange and, in the case of the Audit Committee, the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board determined that Mr. Stewart is not an independent director because he is an officer and employee of the Company. In determining that each of the other directors is independent, the Board considered that the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business buy from and sell products and services to other companies, including those at which certain directors serve (or recently served) as executive officers or directors. Mr. Huff currently serves as an executive officer of Oceaneering International, Inc., a subsidiary of which is a vendor to the Company in amounts that are immaterial, and as a director of Suncor Energy Inc., which is a customer of the Company. Mr. Payne served as an executive officer of Nuevo Energy Company, a customer of the Company, prior to his resignation from Nuevo Energy in 2004. In addition, Mr. Payne served as an executive officer of a charitable organization to which the Company makes contributions from time to time, prior to his resignation from that organization at the end of 2004. In each case, the transactions and contributions did not automatically disqualify the directors from being considered independent under the NYSE rules. The Board also determined that these transactions were not otherwise material to the Company or to the other company involved in the transactions and that none of our directors had a material interest in the transactions with these companies. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of the directors except for Mr. Stewart is independent and that none of these independent directors has a material relationship with the Company.

The following table shows the committees on which each director serves:

John R. Huff	X		X

Michael E. Patrick	X		X
James L. Payne		X	X

Audit Committee.    The responsibilities of the Audit Committee, composed of Messrs. Huff (Chairman), Jordan, Patrick and White, include:

• engaging the independent auditors;

• reviewing interim financial information;

• reviewing the scope and results of the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with the independent auditors, internal auditors and management;

• reviewing the independence of the independent auditors;

• reviewing actions by management on the independent and internal auditors’ recommendations; and

• meeting with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors to review the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls and internal audit procedures.

To promote the independence of the audit, the Audit Committee consults separately and jointly with the independent auditors, the internal auditors and management. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the Audit Committee members are audit committee financial experts. The Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website (www.bjservices.com).

Executive Compensation Committee.    The responsibilities of the Executive Compensation Committee, composed of Messrs. Jordan (Chairman), Heiligbrodt, Huff, Patrick and Payne, include:

• reviewing the Company’s executive salary and bonus and overall compensation structure;

9

• reviewing the Company’s employee stock incentive plans, thrift plan and employee stock purchase plan as well as incentive alternatives;

• reviewing the Company’s perquisite program;

• conducting annual performance evaluations of senior executives;

• adopting a succession plan for senior management; and

• recommending directors’ fees.

The Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Executive Compensation Committee, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website (www.bjservices.com).

In 2005, the Board of Directors has formalized stock ownership guidelines for executive officers, providing for executive officers to own three times the officer’s salary in value of common stock. These guideline amounts come into effect over time as an officer receives performance units. As an officer receives performance units with the specified value, an officer is expected to hold the specified value of common stock and not sell shares below that amount. In addition, the Board of Directors has increased its stock ownership guidelines for directors, providing for each director to own five times the director’s annual retainer in value of common stock. These guideline amounts will come into effect over a three-year period for new directors.

Nominating and Governance Committee.    The responsibilities of the Nominating and Governance Committee, composed of Messrs. Heiligbrodt (Chairman), Payne and White include:

• selecting candidates to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors;

• reviewing the structure and composition of the Board;

• reviewing the responsibilities, organization and membership of all Board committees;

• reviewing director policies on retirement and indemnification issues;

• considering corporate governance principles and guidelines; and

• considering qualifications required for Board service and for nominations by the committee and by stockholders.

The Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Nominating and Governance Committee, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website (www.bjservices.com).

The Nominating and Governance Committee has established the following minimum qualifications for non-employee director candidates that it recommends for nomination:

• ability to provide insight, wisdom and experience;

• willingness to demand high expectations of management;

• availability for attendance at, and willingness to participate in, Board and committee meetings;

• ability to contribute to the Board’s decision-making process; and

• ability to identify, and willingness to avoid, conflicts of interest.

The Nominating and Governance Committee has established procedures for identifying and evaluating nominees. First, the Committee considers the Board’s needs. For instance, the Committee may determine that, due to vacancies or current developments, the election of a director with a particular specialty (e.g., in a specific industry) would benefit the Board. The Committee then solicits recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer and other Board members and considers recommendations, if any, made by stockholders. The Committee then evaluates these recommendations and identifies prospective nominees to interview. Results from the interview process are reported to the Committee, and the Committee then recommends nominees to the full Board, which, upon approval by the Board, recommends the nominees for election by the stockholders.

10

Stockholders may nominate director candidates in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws. To summarize, such nominations must be made in writing to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices. The recommendation must set forth certain information about both the nominee and the nominating stockholder(s). The foregoing is a summary, and the specific requirements and procedures of the Bylaws control.

It is the policy of the Nominating and Governance Committee to consider nominating any director candidate nominated by one or more stockholders in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, provided that the nomination includes the following additional information:

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consists of four directors who are independent, as defined by the standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the charter approved by the Board, the Committee assists the Board in overseeing matters relating to the accounting and financial reporting practices of the Company, the adequacy of its internal controls and the quality and integrity of its financial statements and is responsible for selecting and retaining the independent auditors. The Company’s management is responsible for preparing the financial statements of the Company and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee’s role under the charter is to provide oversight of management’s responsibility. The Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Company’s financial statements or any professional certification as to the independent auditors’ work. The Committee met thirteen times during the year ended September 30, 2005.

The independent auditors provided the Committee a written statement describing all the relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors’ independence consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.” The Committee also discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact the independence of the auditors.

The Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all communications required to be discussed by standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including those described in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees.”

The Committee reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2005, and discussed them with management and the independent auditors. Based on such review and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of five directors who are not employees of the Company and who are independent, as defined by the standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Committee annually reviews the Company’s compensation program and policies for executive officers and directors and determines the compensation of executive officers and directors.

Compensation of Executive Officers.    The Committee’s overall policy regarding compensation of the Company’s executive officers, including Mr. Stewart, is to provide competitive salary levels and compensation incentives that (1) attract and retain individuals of outstanding ability in these key positions, (2) recognize individual performance and the performance of the Company relative to the performance of other companies of comparable size, complexity and quality, and (3) support both the short-term and long-term goals of the Company. The Executive Compensation Committee believes this approach closely links the compensation of the Company’s executives to the accomplishment of Company goals that coincide with stockholder objectives.

In addition, the Executive Compensation Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment of the Company’s executive compensation program. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally limits the corporate tax deduction for compensation paid to executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table to $1 million, unless certain conditions are met.

The executive compensation program has in the past included three elements that, taken together, constitute a flexible and balanced method of establishing total compensation for the Company’s executive officers. These elements are (1) base salary, (2) annual bonus plan awards, and (3) long-term incentive awards, which in the past have included stock option grants and performance unit awards.

Providing Competitive Levels of Compensation.    The Executive Compensation Committee generally attempts to provide the Company’s executives, including Mr. Stewart, with a total compensation package that is competitive and reflective of the performance achieved by the Company compared to the performance achieved by the Company’s peers. The compensation is typically weighted toward long-term incentives with base compensation targeted in the range of the 50th percentile of the compensation comparator group considered by the Committee. The Committee determines a competitive level of compensation for each executive based on information drawn from a variety of sources, including proxy statements of other companies and surveys conducted by compensation consultants. An independent consultant periodically reviews and provides survey data to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Compensation Committee to compare the Company’s executive compensation with compensation levels at companies in an industry peer group. The Committee obtained an independent survey in the fall of 2005 for the purpose of determining 2006 compensation for directors and executive officers.

While the targeted value of an executive’s compensation package may be competitive, its actual value may exceed or fall below competitive levels depending on performance, as discussed below.

Base Salaries.    The Committee periodically reviews and establishes executive base salaries. Generally, base salaries are determined according to the following factors: the individual’s experience level, scope and complexity of the position held and annual performance of the individual. In addition, the Committee considers the survey data. Based on fiscal 2005 performance, all executives received salary increases for fiscal 2006, including Mr. Stewart. The Company provides perquisites to its senior executives, who choose from the following perquisites: club memberships, extended life insurance, financial counseling and charitable contributions. The perquisite plan has been approved by the Committee.

The Annual Bonus Plan.    The purpose of the annual bonus plan is to provide motivation toward, and reward the accomplishment of, corporate annual objectives and to provide a competitive compensation package that will attract, reward and retain individuals of the highest quality. As a pay-for-performance plan, cash bonus awards are paid based upon the achievement of corporate performance objectives established for the fiscal year.

13

Targeted bonus award levels for the Company’s executive officers are established by the Committee each year. The Company’s annual performance measures are established jointly by the Committee and management. For fiscal 2005, bonus targets for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its other executive officers were based on earnings per share objectives. These objectives are established at three levels: entry level, expected value (target level) and over-achievement level. The Committee does not disclose the specific earnings per share objectives because it believes such disclosure would be detrimental to the Company’s competitive position in the industry. The Company’s fiscal 2005 earnings per share achievement was 90 percentage points above the target (expected value) level. All of the executive officers, including Mr. Stewart, received a bonus at this level for fiscal 2005.

Long-Term Incentive Program.    The long-term incentive program was introduced in fiscal 1993 to focus management attention on Company performance over a period of time longer than one year in recognition of the long-term horizons for return on investments and strategic decisions in the energy services industry. The program is designed to motivate management to assist the Company in achieving a high level of long-term performance and serves to link this portion of executive compensation to long-term stockholder value. The Executive Compensation Committee generally attempts to provide the Company’s executives, including Mr. Stewart, with a total compensation package that is competitive and reflective of the performance achieved by the Company compared to its peers, and is typically weighted toward long-term incentives. Aggregate stock or option holdings of the executive have no bearing on the size of a performance award.

The incentive plans approved by the stockholders of the Company provide flexibility to the Committee in the types of long-term incentive awards that can be made. For fiscal 2005, the Committee made grants of performance units, which are payable in stock and have an attached tax gross-up, and stock options. Performance units and stock options were granted to Mr. Stewart and the other officers named in the summary compensation table on November 22, 2005. The performance units generally vest at the end of a three-year period, based on Company performance over such period measured against pre-established objectives. No performance units were scheduled to vest in fiscal 2005.

CEO Compensation.    A separate, formal process of evaluating Mr. Stewart was conducted, and the results of that process were considered in determining Mr. Stewart’s compensation. Specifically, the Committee’s considerations included whether Mr. Stewart achieved his goals for fiscal 2005, the Company’s stock performance, the Company’s return on assets, and whether the Company’s earnings improved. The Committee also compared the Company’s financial performance for fiscal 2005 to the Company’s one- and five-year plans. Further, the Committee considered various qualitative factors, including leadership skills and dedication to strategic planning. The Committee did not base its considerations on any single factor or specifically assign relative weights to factors.

Key Employee Share Option Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan.    In 1997, the Committee approved the BJ Services Company Key Employee Share Option Plan, called the “Keysop Plan,” which allows participants to elect to receive, in lieu of salary and bonus, options to purchase certain designated mutual funds. An executive will not be taxed on the value of the mutual funds until the Keysop option is exercised, and the Company does not deduct such amount for tax purposes as compensation until the option is exercised. Beginning January 1, 2005, future elections were discontinued. In 2000, the Company also implemented a deferred compensation plan for officers and certain key employees that enables participants to defer taxation on their bonus and a portion of their salary. Amounts deferred after January 1, 2005, are subject to new Section 409(A) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409”) and the plan will be modified to conform to this law.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.    In 2000, the Committee approved the BJ Services Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which provides supplemental retirement benefits to the Company’s executive officers. The purpose of this plan is to insure that the Company’s overall compensation program for its executives is competitive.

Compensation of Directors.    The Committee is also responsible for determining the annual retainer, meeting fees, stock options and other benefits for members of the Board of Directors. The Committee’s objective

14

with respect to director compensation is to provide compensation incentives that attract and retain individuals of outstanding ability.

During the first two months of fiscal 2005, the Company paid non-employee directors a monthly retainer based on an annual retainer of $50,000, an additional annual retainer of $10,000 to committee chairmen, and an attendance fee of $1,500 for each Board or committee meeting attended. Members of the Audit Committee received a fee of $1,500 for each quarterly pre-earnings release conference call in which they participated. Effective December 1, 2004, the Company increased the annual retainer for non-employee directors to $60,000 and raised the annual retainer for the Audit Committee Chairman to $25,000. Committee chairmen are also paid an additional attendance or participation fee equal to 50% of the meeting fee paid to other committee members. The Lead Director also receives an annual retainer of $10,000. Directors who are employees of the Company are not paid directors’ fees. The Company reimburses the directors’ out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, under the terms of the 1997 Incentive Plan and the 2000 Incentive Plan, non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards of options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Under the terms of the 2003 Incentive Plan, non-employee directors are eligible to receive any awards except incentive stock options.

Under the Directors’ Benefit Plan, which was adopted in 2000, each non-employee director serving on the Board for more than three years will earn an annual benefit for each year of service on the Board equal to the annual retainer in effect for directors at the time of termination of his Board service. Payment of the benefit commences following the director’s termination of service and continues for the number of years equal to his years of service as a director of the Company. Directors who have served on the Board for more than ten years will receive an amount based on their years of service, paid over a ten-year period. In the event of the death of a participant, benefit payments will be made to the director’s beneficiaries over the remainder of the benefit period. The three-year minimum period is waived in the case of death.

American Jobs Creation Act (“AJCA”).    On October 22, 2004, a new law was enacted which made sweeping changes to the administration, design and taxation of all deferred compensation arrangements. AJCA is generally effective for deferrals made on or after January 1, 2005, but may also apply to amounts deferred before that date if such amounts are not vested as of December 31, 2004 or are made pursuant to a plan that either was not in existence on or was materially modified after October 3, 2004. Failure to comply with the new law will result in adverse tax consequences to participants and possible reporting penalties to the Company. The new law impacts, and changes are required under, the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, and the Directors’ Benefit Plan, as well as other benefit arrangements applicable to officers and directors. The Internal Revenue Service has issued proposed regulations implementing the new law, and final regulations are expected some time during 2006. The Company’s plans and arrangements are being reviewed to insure that the requirements of AJCA are timely met.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Company implemented the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for its senior executives, including Mr. Stewart, effective October 1, 2000. The following table indicates the hypothetical annual benefit payable under the plan based on a hypothetical single life annuity computation starting at age 60, using a formula of 2% per year of service, but not more than 60%, of the participant’s “highest average compensation,” which is the average base salary and bonus paid for the three highest consecutive years out of the participant’s last ten years of employment. This benefit would be reduced by Social Security and other benefits listed below.

The credited years of service of the named executive officers, at September 30, 2005, are as follows: Mr. Stewart—36 years; Mr. Williams—32 years; Mr. Dunlap—15 years; Mr. Whichard—16 years; and Ms. Shannon—11 years.

The hypothetical annuity shown above would be reduced by (i) the Social Security benefit payable at age 62, (ii) certain contributions by the Company for the participant’s account under the Company’s 401(k) plan and 401(k) restoration plan, and (iii) any annual benefit the participant will receive under a defined benefit pension plan maintained by the predecessors of the Company. The average annual reduction in benefit currently projected by the Company for the five named officers is $67,317. In the case of early retirement, death, disability or change in control before the participant reaches age 60, the benefit is reduced. The compensation covered by the plan for the most recent three years does not differ by more than 10% from the annual compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

The actual benefit payable is the actuarial equivalent of the hypothetical annuity, after applicable offsets, paid out over a period elected by the participant of from five to 30 years.

A participant’s benefit is fully vested upon the later of the participant’s 55th birthday or the date the participant completes five full years of service. Prior to age 55, no part of the benefit is vested, unless the participant dies, becomes disabled, or a change in control occurs. If one of these events occurs, the participant’s benefit will be fully vested. In the event of a change in control, the participant will be given three years’ extra credit for years of service and age in calculating the benefit.

A participant’s interest in the plan is generally distributed upon retirement in accordance with the participant’s distribution election. The Executive Compensation Committee may, however, direct that the benefits be paid as a lump sum. A lump sum payment will be paid in the event of death or a change in control, and may be paid by the Committee at the request of the participant in the case of disability. In the event of a change in control, the participant will receive a “gross-up” payment sufficient to satisfy any excise tax payments that may be imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any additional taxes imposed with respect to such gross-up payments, in accordance with the provisions of the plan.

The Company has purchased life insurance to finance the benefits under this plan.

SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS

The Company has severance agreements with its executive officers, including each of the named executive officers shown in the Summary Compensation Table. The severance agreements were effective August 27, 1993, except for Ms. Shannon’s agreement, which was effective February 14, 1994 and Mr. Dunlap’s agreement, which was effective November 27, 1995. In 1999, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the form of executive severance agreements. The following describes the terms of the form of severance agreement, as so amended. The term of each agreement is automatically extended for an additional year at the end of each year, unless the Company has given one year’s prior notice of termination. The agreements are intended to provide for continuity of management in the event of a change in control of the Company. The agreements provide that covered executive officers could be entitled to certain severance benefits following a change in control of the Company. If, following a change in control, the executive is terminated by the Company for any reason, other than for death, disability or for cause, or if such executive officer terminates his or her employment for good reason (as this term is defined in the agreements), then the executive officer is entitled to a severance payment that will be three times the sum of the executive officer’s base salary and bonus amount, as defined in the agreements, plus an amount equal to three times the value of the executive’s largest stock option and/or performance unit grant in the prior three years. Option awards that are intended as two-year awards will be annualized for purposes of this calculation. The severance payment is generally made in the form of a lump sum. For a period of up to three years, the Company would also provide life, disability, accident and health insurance coverage substantially similar to the benefits provided before termination. Further, the Company would provide outplacement services, and the Company would provide retiree medical coverage if the executive were within five years of eligibility at the time of termination following a change in control.

If a change in control occurs, the severance agreements are effective for a period of two years from the date of such change in control. Under the severance agreements, a change in control would generally include any of the following events: (i) any “person” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, acquires 25 percent or more of the Company’s voting securities; (ii) a majority of the Company’s directors are replaced during a two-year period; (iii) stockholders approve a merger, resulting in (a) 60% or less of the common stock and voting securities of the surviving corporation being owned by the same persons that owned the Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger, (b) a person owning 25% or more of the surviving corporation’s common stock or voting securities, or (c) replacement of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors; or (iv) the Company’s stockholders approve a liquidation or sale of the Company’s assets. In the event that any payments made in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the Company would pay an additional payment (a “gross-up” payment) sufficient to satisfy such excise tax obligations and any additional taxes imposed with respect to such gross-up payment.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

None.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Based solely upon a review of reports on Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company during fiscal 2005, reports on Form 5 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to fiscal 2005, and written representations from officers and directors that no Form 5 was required to be filed, the Company believes that all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Common Stock under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, were complied with during fiscal 2005.

21

SOLICITATION

The Company is soliciting proxies for the 2006 Annual Meeting and will bear the cost of solicitation. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of the directors, officers or regular employees of the Company may, without extra compensation, solicit the return of proxies by telephone or electronic media. Arrangements will be made with brokerage houses, custodians and other fiduciaries to send proxy material to their principals, and the Company will reimburse these parties for any out-of-pocket expenses. Georgeson & Company Inc. will assist the Company in the proxy solicitation and will receive a fee of $8,000, plus reimbursement of certain charges and expenses.

VOTING PROCEDURES

A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the 2006 Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. ADP Investor Communication Services will tabulate all votes cast, in person or by submission of a properly executed proxy, before the closing of the polls at the meeting. The Company will appoint an inspector of elections at the meeting. The affirmative vote of holders of a plurality of the Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for the election of each nominee. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the election of directors. For the Authorized Shares Amendment, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock is required, and abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of negative votes. For any other matters presented for a vote of stockholders, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required. Therefore, on any such matters, abstentions have the effect of a negative vote, and broker non-votes will not be taken into account.

22

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Deloitte & Touche LLP, a registered public accounting firm, audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2005, and has advised the Company that it will have a representative available at the 2006 Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions. Such representative will be permitted to make a statement if he or she so desires. It has not been the Company’s practice, and the Company is not required by law, to submit the Audit Committee’s choice of independent auditor to the stockholders for ratification. The Company has not yet selected independent public accountants to audit its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006. Historically, the Company has selected independent public accountants for that purpose in May of the fiscal year during which the audit will take place. Thus, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors intends to engage the accountants for such purpose in May 2006.

Deloitte & Touche LLP has billed the Company and its subsidiaries fees as set forth in the table below for (i) the audits of the Company’s 2004 and 2005 annual financial statements, the audit of the 2005 report on internal control over financial reporting, reviews of quarterly financial statements, and review of other documented filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) assurance and other services reasonably related to the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements, and (iii) services related to tax compliance.

	Audit Fees		Audit-Related Fees (1)		Tax Fees (2)
Fiscal 2005 (3)	$	8,645,563	$	156,755	$	4,500
Fiscal 2004 (3)	$	1,325,462	$	268,789	$	20,916

(1) The services comprising “Audit-Related Fees” included audits of the Company’s employee benefit plans and internal control consultation.

(2) The services comprising “Tax Fees” included tax compliance, planning and advice.

(3) There were no fees billed in 2004 or 2005 that would constitute “All Other Fees.”

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has adopted policies regarding the pre-approval of auditor services. Specifically, the Audit Committee pre-approves at its May meeting all services provided by the independent public accountants. All additional services must be pre-approved on a case-by-case basis. The Audit Committee reviews the actual and budgeted fees for the independent public accountants at its May and November meetings. All of the services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP during fiscal 2004 and 2005 were approved by the Audit Committee.

Under the Company’s Bylaws, such notice must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, no later than November 2, 2006.

Stockholders who intend to submit a proposal at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2007 and desire that such proposal be included in the proxy materials for such meeting must follow the procedures prescribed in the Company’s Bylaws and Rule l4a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials, stockholder proposals must be received by the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices no later than August 22, 2006.
