FY05 Executive Incentive Grid (Share in Success Plan)
The grid is designed to reward achievement of plan on both metrics (Pre-tax Profitability and Revenue), and to discourage the achievement of one metric at the expense of the other. If threshold performance is not achieved on either metric, the payout is nil. There is a cap of 400% on the overall level of payout.
