Our executive compensation is designed to maintain an appropriate and competitive balance between fixed and variable compensation components including short-and long-term compensation, and cash and stock-based compensation. We believe that the performance basis for determining compensation should differ by each reward component – base salary, short-term incentive and long-term incentive. Incentive measures (short-term and long-term) should emphasize objective, quantitative operating measures.
