2008 Compensation Determinations
2008 Compensation Determinations
In the first quarter of 2008, the committee established base salaries, set the annual incentive cash baselines and operational goals under the Executive Officer Incentive Plan, and determined the equity awards for executive officers. Following the end of the year, the committee approved the calculation of the multiplier to be used in making annual incentive cash payments based on the Executive Officer Incentive Plan formula, determined any individual performance adjustments under the plan, and approved profit sharing contributions to the retirement plan.
In 2006, the committee determined that Intel's compensation levels should be increased because its programs were set at a level significantly below the compensation levels of its peers. To address this situation, the committee began a three-year program, ending in 2008, to increase cash and equity compensation to reach the target percentiles, and mirrors a general effort to increase compensation for employees. Thus, while annual incentive payouts for the listed officers declined for 2008, both on an absolute basis and as a multiple of salary as a result of the dramatic shift in the business environment during the fourth quarter of 2008, the effect of those declines was mitigated by increases to the annual incentive cash baselines designed to bring target compensation to the desired peer group levels.
Mr. Otellini's 2008 Compensation
In 2008, the committee elected to increase Mr. Otellini's base salary by 30% and annual incentive cash baseline by 40%. Both elements were increased in light of peer data indicating that his cash compensation was significantly below the target percentiles set by the committee. Mr. Otellini's base salary was increased less than his annual incentive cash baseline in an effort to increase the proportion of at-risk, performance-based compensation. Based on market data, the committee believes that Mr. Otellini's base salary for 2008 was still below the 25th percentile. Although the committee increased Mr. Otellini's base salary and annual incentive cash baseline in 2008, Mr. Otellini's total cash compensation increased by only 3% because of decreased financial and operating performance in 2008. Based on grant date fair value, Mr. Otellini received a 20% increase in the value of his annual equity awards in 2008 compared to 2007, although the number of options and RSUs granted was flat compared to 2007. The grant date fair value of Mr. Otellini's long-term RSU award was 24% lower than the grant date fair value of the long-term option award that he received in 2007. The net effect of these changes was that Mr. Otellini's total compensation remained relatively flat in 2008 compared to 2007. The committee believes that his total compensation was below the 65th percentile because his annual incentive cash payments were below target due to Intel's financial and operating performance.
