Fiscal 2013 Performance Bonus Criteria
 
For fiscal 2013 annual incentives, the Committee approved performance criteria based on operating earnings, with payouts based on a percentage of annual salary as set forth above. Bonuses may also be earned in greater or lesser percentages if performance is above or below target levels. The Committee changed the target annual incentive opportunity of Daniel A. DeMatteo from 200% of annual salary to 150% of annual salary to reflect his reduced role as the Executive Chairman of the Company. The Committee made no changes to the target annual incentive opportunities (as a percentage of base salary) for J. Paul Raines, Tony D. Bartel, Robert A. Lloyd, or Michael K. Mauler.


Fiscal 2013 Long-term Incentive Awards
 
The aforementioned fiscal 2013 long-term incentive opportunities approved by the Committee were awarded in the form of restricted shares and stock options. The Committee believes this structure helps to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of the Company’s shareholders.

 
 
 


Approximately one-half of the value of the fiscal 2013 awards are restricted stock grants subject to vesting both on the basis of continued service and the achievement of defined performance goals (“Performance Grants”), with awards to be earned in a greater or lesser amount if performance is above or below target. Approximately twenty-five percent of the value of the fiscal 2013 awards are restricted stock grants subject to vesting based on continued service with a performance condition to achieve tax deductibility under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), and the remaining approximately twenty-five percent of the value of the fiscal 2013 awards are stock option grants subject to vesting solely on the basis of continued service (collectively, the “Time-Vested Grants”).  Specifically, the Committee approved the following grants to the above-listed executive officers:
