2011 Salary Information for Named Executive Officers
At the Compensation Committee meeting of Web.com Group, Inc. (the “Company”) held on October 26, 2011, the Compensation Committee unanimously agreed to increase the current annual base salaries of certain named executive officers as follows:
| Name | | Position | | New Salary | | Effective Date |
| | | | | | | |
| David L. Brown | | President and
Chief Executive Officer | | $560,000 | | November 1, 2011 |
| | | | | | | |
| Kevin M. Carney | | Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer | | $350,000 | | November 1, 2011 |
| | | | | | | |
| Jason M. Teichman | | Executive Vice President and
Chief Marketing Officer | | $315,000 | | November 1, 2011 |
In making its determinations, the Compensation Committee considered the Company’s performance during fiscal year 2011, the pending acquisition of Net Sol Parent LLC and the anticipated increase in the executives’ respective duties as a result of this acquisition, and the compensation study prepared by PRM Consulting Group, Inc. that indicated that the executives’ existing base salaries and total direct compensation opportunities were below the desired market positioning of the median of the peer group.
