To fulfill this role, the Committee reviews the composition of the full Board to determine the qualifications and areas of expertise needed to further enhance the composition of the Board and works with management in attracting candidates with those qualifications.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Catalina’s executive compensation program for its named executive officers (“NEOs”) is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“the Committee”). The Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management, and recommends to the Board of Directors that it be included in this Amended Report.

The Committee consists of at least three members, all of whom are “independent directors,” as that term is defined in Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, and one of whom serves as Chairperson of the Committee. The Committee’s responsibility is to assure that the senior executives of Catalina and its affiliates are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with the stated compensation philosophy of Catalina, competitive practices and the requirements of the appropriate regulatory bodies. The Committee has the responsibility and the authority to provide direction to management regarding compensation and benefit levels for Catalina and to administer Catalina’s Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Award Plan and the Employee Payroll Deduction Stock Purchase Plan.

The Committee has carefully monitored the Company’s executive compensation programs on behalf of Catalina shareholders. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis and tables that follow show structures for executive compensation that are appropriate and competitive.

The members of the Committee responsible for determining salary and incentive compensation awards for the 2006 stub fiscal year (April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006; “SY06”) are the undersigned. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee engages national executive compensation consulting firms to provide advice and develop and provide market data to assist in evaluating the appropriateness and competitiveness of compensation paid to Catalina’s executive officers and other employees. Overall, the Committee believes that the compensation provided for NEOs in SY06 was appropriate given the business achievements, which included exceeding target goals for the Company and each business unit.

Compensation Committee:

By: Messrs. Peter T. Tattle, Frederick W. Beinecke, Edward S. Dunn, Jr. and Jeffrey W. Ubben

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate by reference this Amended Report or future filings made by the Company under those statutes, the Compensation Committee Report is not deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of those prior filings or into any future filings made by the Company under those statutes.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Described below are the general and specific principles by which the Committee makes executive compensation decisions for the NEOs and other Company executive officers. These decisions reflect the Committee’s review of Catalina’s existing compensation plans, competitive market data and assessments of individual and corporate performance. Discussed in detail are the Committee’s decisions for the period from April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006; (“SY06”). It is important to note that the Company changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31 (effective December 31, 2006).

1. General Principles and Procedures

Catalina’s executive compensation program is comprised of the following three main components: (i) base salaries; (ii) annual incentive bonuses; and (iii) equity-based incentives. Catalina believes these components provide compensation to its executives that is commensurate with the performance of the company and with enhancement of shareholder value. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are integral parts of implementing Catalina’s compensation philosophy. The compensation plans are designed to link individual executive rewards to Catalina’s performance by applying objective, quantitative factors, including Catalina’s own business performance and industry factors. The Committee also relies on subjective, qualitative factors such as technical expertise, leadership and management skills, when structuring executive compensation that is consistent with the Company’s compensation philosophy.

(a) Program Objectives.

Catalina’s compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, reward and retain highly qualified individuals at all levels, and in particular executive officers who have the skills and expertise to lead Catalina.

(b) Performance To Be Rewarded.

The Committee oversees compensation programs that maintain a strong relationship between company performance and executive rewards that align the interests of executive officers with shareholders and encourage executive ownership of Catalina’s common stock. The Committee ensures that salaries, annual bonuses and equity-based incentives awarded to Catalina’s executive officers are based on competitive compensation data, individual performance, internal equity and the overall performance of Catalina.

(c) Procedural Approach

The Committee meets a minimum of four times annually. In SY06 the Committee held nine meetings. During these meetings, the Committee evaluated the executive officers’ performance and compensation in light of financial goals and objectives approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”). The Committee, at least annually, evaluates the performance and leadership of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in light of those financial goals and objectives (without the CEO’s participation) and presents to the Board, for its consideration and approval, recommendations regarding the CEO’s compensation level based on this evaluation and Catalina’s compensation philosophy.

The Committee annually reviews and approves revisions to Catalina’s compensation and benefits practices, including the methodologies for setting the executive and employee salary ranges and annual salary increase guidelines; and comparing them, relative to corporate performance, with those of other comparable businesses from annual and multi-year perspectives. The Committee approves an overall budget for salary increases and delegates authority to the top executive officers of Catalina, known as the “Catalina Executive Committee,” or “CEC” (which includes the NEOs), to approve individual salary increases below the CEC level. The CEO’s approval is required for all increases for those employees in the two reporting levels immediately below him. The

Committee monitors the delegated responsibility to ensure it is executed properly.

Table of Contents

The Committee provides direction to management regarding incentive programs that reward employees of Catalina including, without limitation, the performance targets, award opportunities and level of employees who are eligible for such incentive plans. The CEO makes recommendations to the Committee regarding the incentive compensation of all executive officers, excluding himself, and the Committee makes final decisions regarding those recommendations. For a consistent approach, the Committee’s decisions relating to the three main components of compensation for the Company’s executives are made in conjunction with the policies established for the entire organization.

The compensation decisions reported below focus on the SY06 nine-month period. Management recommended and the Board approved the revenue, operating income and earnings per share (“EPS”) targets for this nine-month period.

(d) The Peer Group Data

The Committee makes compensation decisions after reviewing pay and performance information from a designated peer group and market data from multiple external sources. The Committee reviews peer group data regarding each component of the compensation plan as well as total compensation.

Catalina’s peer group includes a broad range of companies that provide marketing and data services to other companies and range in revenue between $200 million and $2 billion. Catalina has a unique business model and the Committee agrees this is a reasonable group against which to compare pay and performance for executives. The peer group consists of the following companies:

 

Acxiom Corp    Fair Isaac Corp   
Advo Inc    Harte Hanks Inc   
Alliance Data Systems Corp    Henry (Jack) & Associates   
Apac Customer Services Inc    IMS Health Inc   
Arbitron Inc    MDC Partners Inc   
Checkpoint Systems Inc    Valassis Communications Inc   
Emak Worldwide Inc      

The Committee evaluates peer group data in one, two, and three year comparisons to determine Catalina’s performance relative to the peer group based on the following financial measures: return on capital, return on average equity, total shareholder return (“TSR”), net income change, EPS change, EBITDA change, revenue change, gross margin, return on sales and SG&A as a percent of sales. For 2006, Catalina ranked fourth in a one-year performance comparison, fifth in a two-year performance comparison and fourth in a three-year performance comparison. This placed the Company’s overall performance in the top one-third of the fourteen-company peer group performance.

(e) Market Data

Market pay data includes executives in similar positions employed by public companies or divisions of public companies that are within a size range that includes Catalina. Market data for each NEO is provided by Mercer Human Resource Consulting and Watson Wyatt Worldwide Inc. The Committee adopted a methodology in August 2006 to determine market pay rates that utilizes 70% market data and 30% peer group data. This methodology was applied in determining the NEOs and other executives’ SY06 salary increases (approved on August 9, 2006, retroactive to June 26, 2006, to coincide with the effective date of annual salary increases for all other US company employees).

(f) Independent Consultant

The Committee has the authority to engage independent consultants to assist in carrying out its responsibility and did so in SY06. The Committee retained Mr. Donald Delves, President of The Delves Group, to be the independent compensation consultant to the Committee. The independent compensation consultant advises the Committee on all of the principal aspects of executive compensation, including base salary and annual and long-term incentives. The consultant attends meetings of the Committee and communicates with the Committee outside of meetings. The independent compensation consultant reports to the Committee, although the consultant may meet with management for purposes of gathering information on proposals and analyses that management may present to the Committee. The independent consultant does not provide any other services to Catalina and receives consulting fees only with respect to the services provided to the Committee.

(g) Stock Ownership Guidelines

In April 2005, the Company adopted formal stock ownership guidelines for CEC members, including NEOs, to ensure alignment with shareholder interest. The guidelines provide that each NEO should achieve the following level of investment in Catalina stock by April 2009:

 

CEO (Dick Buell)    Lesser of 100,000 shares or share value of 5 X Salary
CFO (Rick Frier)    Lesser of 35,000 shares or share value of 3 X Salary
Tom Buehlmann    Lesser of 20,000 shares or share value of 2 X Salary
Ed Kuehnle    Lesser of 35,000 shares or share value of 3 X Salary
Craig Scott    Lesser of 20,000 shares or share value of 2 X Salary

The stock ownership of NEOs as of December 31, 2006, is as follows:

 

CEO (Dick Buell)    57,035 shares    57% of goal   
CFO (Rick Frier)    15,925 shares    45% of goal   
Tom Buehlmann    18,087 shares    91% of goal   
Ed Kuehnle    19,744 shares    56% of goal   
Craig Scott    19,568 shares    98% of goal   

(h) Stock Grant-making Practices

In SY06, the Committee made its first awards fully implementing the Total Rewards Strategy which had been under discussion since April, 2005 and which had previously been only partially implemented. The Committee undertook to grant these awards as early as possible in the first quarter of the shortened (9-month) fiscal year, and took action on April 18, 2006, which was prior to the annual earnings release. For fiscal years before SY06, the Committee generally granted equity awards annually at its regularly scheduled meetings that occurred following Catalina’s release of earnings for the fiscal year.

At the August 9, 2006, meeting, the Committee adopted an annual calendar which for the first time formally memorialized its historical practice of granting equity-based awards at the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting each year following the annual earnings release. This decision reflected the Committee’s conclusion that this timing for awards better suits Catalina’s equity compensation objectives and practices including, without limitation, the ability of management to propose to the Committee goals for the performance periods.

Equity awards are approved and granted for NEOs and all other executives at the same time equity awards are approved and granted for all eligible employees. The Committee approves the long-term incentive plan design, the performance measure for the performance-based restricted stock and other equity-based awards for all eligible participants, including executives.

The exercise price for equity awards is based on the closing share price on the date the Committee approves the grant. One exception exists for the Italian business unit that requires a share price of “more than the prior 30-day average share price.” The Company’s practice is to determine the prior 30-day average share price from the date of approval and to add one penny to establish the Italian employee grant price. In the event the closing price on the date of the grant exceeds the prior 30-day average, the grant price for the Italian business unit will be that day’s closing price.

In the case of newly-hired CEC members, the Committee will consider equity awards for recruitment purposes and to align the executives’ interest with the interests of shareholders. The award will be approved at the next regularly scheduled Committee meeting after the hire date of the executive, and the exercise price will be the closing share price on the approval date of the grant.

The Company has not timed, nor does it intend to time, the release of material nonpublic information based on an equity award grant date. Similarly, the Committee has not granted, nor does it intend to grant, equity awards to executives in anticipation of the release of material non-public information that is likely to result in a change to the price of Catalina common stock.

(i) Committee Charter

The Committee developed a written charter that was adopted by the Board, setting out the functions the Committee is to perform. The Charter was amended in SY06 and is available on Catalina’s website at www.catalinamarketing.com. The charter can be found on the “Investor Relations” page, under the link to “Corporate Governance Documents and Highlights.”

3. Specific Principles for determining Executive Compensation

The material components of compensation for the NEOs and the specific principles and purpose of each component are summarized in the following table.

General Elements of NEO Compensation for 2006

(see “Executive Compensation Decisions for 2006” for Amounts and Further Detail)

 

Element:

  

Reason for Element

Salary    Catalina provides competitive base salaries to attract and retain the required talent to grow the Company.
Annual Incentive Compensation    Bonuses are awarded to Catalina’s executives under the annual Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”). Annual bonuses represent appropriate rewards for results based on meaningful, clear and measurable performance goals approved by the Board and are based on individual performance as well as business unit and company-wide performance.
Long-Term Incentives    Long-term incentives in the form of equity-based awards are granted to executives by the Committee annually. Under the Stock Award Plan, executives receive performance-based restricted shares, service-based restricted shares and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) (collectively “Awards”). The purpose of the Awards is to attract and retain qualified individuals, and to align their financial interests with the interests of shareholders by providing the executive officers with substantial financial interests in the success of Catalina.

Perquisites or Other

Personal Benefits

   Executive officers receive the following perquisites, which are considered to have a material benefit to Catalina: moving expenses where applicable, limited spouse travel when appropriate, an annual financial planning allowance, an annual executive physical allowance, and in the case of the CEO and President of Catalina Marketing Services (“CMS”), golf club memberships.

Post-Employment

Benefits

  

Retirement. Executive officers are eligible to participate in a qualified 401(k) plan and a deferred compensation plan that includes employer matching contributions.

 

Severance and Change in Control Benefits. Executives are provided with severance and change-in-control benefits at a level considered conservative, yet competitive when compared to those offered by peers.

 

Retiree Medical Coverage. Company founders, their eligible family members and former CEO’s are allowed to purchase health care coverage at the contribution rate for current employees.

Table of Contents

(a) Method for Determining Amounts.

In April 2005, the Committee approved a structured approach to balance the various compensation elements for individual employees, which was labeled the “Total Rewards Strategy.” The Total Rewards Strategy includes a compensation structure for the CEC which incorporates base salary, annual cash bonuses and long-term incentives under the Stock Award Plan, as well as benefits such as annual executive physicals and financial planning allowances. The Total Rewards Strategy is intended to balance stated compensation goals with maximizing returns for shareholders.

Base Salary

Each year the Committee evaluates Catalina’s executive salary targets based competitive market data, Catalina’s business performance and industry factors. In conducting the assessment for SY06, the Committee reviewed compensation data from proxy statements and compensation surveys for comparable companies to the extent available.

Catalina’s goal for SY06 was to target executive base pay at the 67th percentile among its peer group and comparable market data. In determining the base salary targets, the Committee considered skill set, internal consistency and external pressures to attract and retain talent.

Annual Incentive Bonus

Executive bonuses are set as a percentage of salary based on management level and are earned based on individual, business unit and corporate performance. The Total Rewards Strategy establishes market-competitive targets for incentive awards when the Company achieves threshold, goal, or above goal performance.

Equity Based Incentives

Long-term incentives (“LTI”), granted in the form of equity-based awards, are typically granted to executives by the Committee annually. The long-term incentives reward executives for leadership, decision-making, accountability and results and are valuable tools to retain key executives and to align executive interests with shareholders’ interests. In SY06, Catalina’s goal was to target LTI awards for the CEC at the 80th percentile among its peer group and comparable market data. Award levels were reduced to the 75th percentile or below for the January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 (“CY07”) grant.

The value of grant awarded to executive officers, including the CEO, is based on a multiple of salary and level of responsibility. For the first time, and as part of the Total Rewards Strategy adopted by the Committee, the SY06 awards granted to executives under the Stock Award Plan included performance-based restricted stock, service-based restricted stock and SARs. The SY06 award was allocated with an emphasis on performance-based equity. Forty percent is in performance-based restricted shares that vest only when the three-year cumulative EPS performance objective is achieved. An additional forty percent of the long-term award is in SARs, which are dependent on share appreciation. Twenty percent of the LTI award is delivered in service-based restricted shares.

The performance-based restricted stock cliff vests if Catalina meets a certain threshold cumulative EPS performance goal for the period from April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008; the service-based restricted stock cliff vests upon completion of four years of service from the date of grant; and SARs vest 25% per year over a four year period and are payable in stock upon exercise. For the SY06 grant, a minimum of 80% of the three-year EPS goal must be achieved for any performance-based restricted shares to vest. At 80% achievement, 50% of the award is earned and at 115% achievement, 200% of the award is earned.

For the CY07 grant, a minimum of 93% of the three-year EPS goal must be achieved for any performance-based restricted shares to vest. At 93% achievement, 50% of the award is earned and at 108% achievement, 200% of the award is earned.

Post-Employment Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits

In SY06, the Committee reevaluated post-employment severance and change-in-control benefits and entered into new agreements with certain executive officers, including the NEOs. The new agreements provide severance payments should a change in control (or a potential change in control) result in a loss of employment, and the executive is terminated or resigns for “good reason” within two years after a change in control (or before, in the case of a potential change in control). “Good reason” includes, among other things, a reduction in base salary or a reduction in the executive’s title, position or responsibility. The Committee was advised by consultants and counsel in creating the new agreements and the executives were advised by their own counsel.

 

14


Table of Contents

Under the new agreements, the severance benefit includes a cash lump-sum payment equal to a multiple of the executive’s annual compensation then in effect. In addition, the executive will receive a cash lump-sum payment equal to the sum of any unpaid incentive compensation. The executive will also be entitled to life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits provided to the executive and executive’s spouse and dependents for a specified number of months from the date the severance benefits are effective. The chart in the summary compensation table section following provides details of the amounts payable under our Change of Control agreements with NEOs.

Employment Contract—CEO

In SY06, the Committee reevaluated the CEO’s employment contract and entered into a new contract effective through September 30, 2011.

Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Buell will receive base cash compensation at an annual rate of $675,000, to be increased annually at least in an amount equal to the greater of 3.5% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index. Mr. Buell will also be eligible to receive an annual target bonus of 100% of base salary with the opportunity to earn up to 1.5 times his annual target bonus during each year of his agreement. Mr. Buell will be eligible to participate in the Company’s stock compensation and other incentive plans. In addition, the Company will reimburse Mr. Buell for (i) up to $5,000 of costs incurred relating to financial planning and tax preparation expenses, (ii) costs for physical examinations (if not covered by health insurance), and (iii) the reasonable cost of one country club membership. Mr. Buell will also be entitled to participate in the Company’s Post-Retirement Health Care Benefits program.

(b) Inter-relationship of Elements

Catalina’s incentive plans serve both the Company’s need to focus on short-term and longer-term strategic objectives and the need for retention of executive talent. Annual incentive plans and long-term equity awards are based on a percentage of salary for executives. The multiple applied to long-term equity plans is larger than the multiple applied to the annual incentive plan. The Company’s annual incentives are designed to pay in cash only, providing immediate reward and reinforcement of annual performance. No stock alternatives are offered for annual incentives. Equity-based incentives are awarded to promote continuity in execution of long-term strategic plans that deliver shareholder value. The Company’s practice does not provide cash alternatives for long-term incentive awards at the executive level.

(c) Recoupment of Awards

The Committee does not currently have a policy for recovering awards or payments if the Company is required to restate corporate financials. In CY07, the Committee will consider instituting such a policy.

(d) Consideration of Prior Compensation

The Committee does not consider amounts realizable from prior compensation when making decisions regarding the amount of each element of compensation.

(e) Tax Considerations

The Committee evaluates compensation payments in light of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”), which generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation, that is not performance-based, in excess of $1 million paid to the NEOs of most public companies. In SY06 there were no payments to NEOs or others that resulted in a disallowance of a tax deduction.

The Committee also determined that the Company is in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, which regulates deferral elections and the timing of payments under non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

(f) Financial Accounting Considerations

Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 123R, effective as of September 1, 2006, requiring companies to expense the fair market value of equity awards became effective for the Company’s SY06 long-term incentive awards. As part of establishing the Total Rewards Strategy, and in anticipation of FAS123R, the Committee revised the LTI plan and introduced stock appreciation rights and restricted stock for the SY06 awards. The result was a reduction in the number of shares awarded.

4. Executive Compensation Decisions during SY06

Detailed below are the Committee’s decisions made in SY06 for Catalina’s NEOs. The Committee addressed three main components of executive compensation by approving: LTI awards granted on April 18, 2006; ICP payouts on April 27, 2006 for awards earned during the previous fiscal year; and base salary increases effective June 26, 2006. In addition, the Committee made decisions regarding plan designs as detailed below.

(a) Salary

Average base pay for the executive team is targeted at the 67th percentile. Due to the need to recruit top talent in several key roles in 2005 and the external pressures that exist in the recruitment of such talent, the base pay for the executive team reached the 70th percentile in SY06.

The Committee uses a combination of peer group data and market data to determine base pay increases. The Committee approved a budget for executive salary increases for SY06 of 3.5%, consistent with national trends reported by Mercer Human Resource Consulting and Watson Wyatt Worldwide Inc. Executive increases also aligned with the overall 3.2% Company base pay increases. An additional 1% was approved by the Committee for organizational promotions and market adjustments.

The Committee approved salary increases for the NEOs effective June 26, 2006, the annual salary increase date for all Company employees. The base salary increases were as follows:

 

Rick Frier    4.0%      
Tom Buehlmann    1.4%      
Ed Kuehnle    3.5%      
Craig Scott    4.0%      

The CEO’s annual increase was determined in a Committee discussion that excluded members of management, and a 3.8% base salary increase was recommended by the Committee to the Board. The Board approved Mr. Buell’s increase of 3.8%, bringing Mr. Buell’s salary to $675,000. The percentage increase for the CEO was consistent with the guidelines applied to the entire organization.

(b) Annual Incentive Bonus

At a meeting held April 27, 2006, the Committee approved payouts of annual incentive awards earned based on performance associated with the prior fiscal year (April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006). At the same meeting, the Committee approved SY06 “weightings” for corporate and business unit goals illustrated in the chart below. CEC incentive compensation plans, excluding the CEO, include a 10% individual performance factor (“IPF”) that encompasses the individual, non-financial objectives for the year.

The variance in weights for the financial measures of each business unit is based on the stage of growth and maturity for each individual business unit and that business unit’s strategic focus for SY06.

The SY06 incentive compensation target approved by the Committee for NEOs includes 100% of base salary for Mr. Buell and 65% of base salary for each of Messrs. Frier, Kuehnle, Buehlmann and Scott. The ICP imposes a payout cap of 150% of target bonus for executives and all other participants. The potential bonus for Mr. Buell under the ICP for SY06 ranged from a zero payout to a maximum of 150% of his annualized base salary. The potential bonus for each of the other NEOs under the ICP ranged from zero to a maximum of 97% of their annualized base salaries.

On August 9, 2006, the Committee approved the SY06 bonus target of 65% for Mr. Buehlmann as an increase from his previous fiscal year target of 56%. This increase provided a consistent incentive target for presidents of the Company’s three business units. The Committee also approved a payout cap of 150% of target bonus for Mr. Buehlmann for SY06 versus a prior cap of 200%, to provide a consistent payout cap for all incentive participants.

The financial portion of the annual incentive is paid only if the financial performance goals set by the Board at the beginning of the year are achieved. All or a portion of the discretionary, individual performance factor (“IPF”), may be paid based on the achievement of the approved non-financial objectives, regardless of whether the financial goals are achieved.

At the December 13, 2006 meeting, the Committee approved the CY07 ICP plan design which included new weighting for the business unit components for CHR and CMI. For both business units, the operating income weight is 60% and the revenue weight is 40% of the business unit component of the ICP. This provides a stronger top line emphasis for CHR and a stronger bottom line emphasis for CMI, in keeping with the strategies being pursued by these business units.

(c ) Equity Based Incentives

On April 18, 2006, the Committee approved an LTI plan design which established award values as a multiple of base salary for all eligible employees. The multiples for the executives are as follows: CEO-250%; CEC-175%. The CEO and the CEC were granted a mix of equity instruments in the following proportions: 40% SARs, 40% performance-based restricted stock and 20% service-based restricted stock. The grant was approved based on the closing share price on April 18, 2006 of $22.85.

On June 19, 2006, the Committee considered the requirement of shares for future grants under the LTI plan and determined the need to seek additional shares for the available pool. The Board approved the Committee’s recommendation to request shareholders amend the 1999 Stock Award Plan, increasing the number of shares available by 3 million. The amendment was approved by shareholders at the August 2006 shareholder meeting.

On August 9, 2006, the Committee established revised targets for executive LTI awards at the 75th percentile of the market. This decision was based upon overall Company performance as compared to the peer group. The LTI plan approved for the CY07 award established the following multiples of salary for the CEC in order to achieve the 75th percentile goal: CEO-250%; CFO, business unit presidents and EVP of CMS sales-165%; and EVPs of IT, business support services, new business development and regional director Europe-135%.

At the December13, 2006 meeting, the Committee recommended and the Board approved the measure for performance-based restricted stock as a three-year cumulative EPS goal. The three year performance period will be from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2010. For the CY07 grant, a minimum of 93% of the cumulative three year EPS goal must be achieved for any performance-based restricted shares to vest. At 93% achievement, 50% of the award is earned and at 108% achievement, 200% of the award is earned.

This includes expense recognized in SY 06 due to the vesting or awards made in prior years and the awards made in SY 06. This does not include estimates for forfeitures related to service-based vesting used for financial statement reporting purposes.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Director Independence

The Board has reviewed the relationships between the Company and each of its directors and has determined that a majority of the directors are independent for purposes of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. In accordance with these listing standards, which are set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board affirmatively determined that, other than Mr. Buell, all directors are independent under the NYSE listing standards. Mr. Buell does not meet NYSE independence listing standards due to his current position as Chief Executive Officer. In making its determination, the Board must be assured that the director does not have any material relationship with the Company. In making this determination, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including the director’s affiliation with companies, firms, organizations and persons that have relationships with the Company. In addition, a director would not be considered independent if (a) the director has been employed by, or an immediate family member has been an executive officer of, the Company during the prior three years; (b) the director has received,

or an immediate family member has received, more than $100,000 per year in direct compensation from the Company, other than director and committee fees and pension and other forms of deferred compensation for prior service, during the prior three years; (c) the director has been affiliated with or employed by, or an immediate family member is affiliated with or employed in a professional capacity by, a present or former internal or external auditor of the Company, unless three years have passed since either the end of the individual’s employment with such auditor or the end of the auditor’s external audit relationship with the Company; (d) an executive officer of the Company has been on the compensation committee of the board of directors of a company that employed the director or an immediate family member as an executive officer during the prior three years; or (e) the director has been an executive officer or employee, or an immediate family member has been an executive officer, of another company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any single fiscal year, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, unless three years have passed since falling below such threshold.

Pre-Approval Policies

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation, and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. A centralized service request function is used to provide an initial assessment of requests for services by the independent auditor. The request must be specific as to the particular services to be provided. Requests approved during the initial assessment are aggregated and submitted to the Audit Committee for final approval. The independent auditor may not perform services, whether associated with audit or non-audit functions, unless the services have been approved prior to their performance by the Company’s Audit Committee. Each fiscal year, the Audit Committee negotiates and pre-approves the fee for the annual audit of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Each fiscal year, the Audit Committee may also specifically pre-approve certain audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. At the present time, the Audit Committee has not delegated any authority for approval of any services. All audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor have been approved by the Audit Committee.
