SECTION 5 — CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) On May 1, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of CSX Corporation (“CSX”) approved and adopted the CSX 2007-2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
The Plan, which was adopted under the CSX Omnibus Incentive Plan (“COIP”), establishes certain performance goals and award opportunities for certain CSX employees. The Plan seeks to motivate and reward certain CSX employees through the issuance of Performance Grants pursuant to which payouts are made based on CSX’s attainment of a lower Operating Ratio. CSX’s Operating Ratio is defined as annual surface transportation operating expenses divided by surface transportation revenue of CSX’s rail and intermodal businesses and is calculated excluding non-recurring items. The Operating Ratio targets that determine payouts also vary based on the average cost of oil. Payouts of Performance Grants will be in the form of CSX common stock.
Payouts of Performance Grants to certain executive officers are determined using the same Operating Ratio targets described above. These payouts are subject to upward or downward adjustment based on an additional performance measure, cumulative Operating Income, which excludes non-recurring items. These payouts are also subject to discretionary downward adjustment based on a failure to achieve certain predetermined strategic initiatives.
The Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
