The committees of the Board of Directors consist of the Personnel,

Nominating Committee and the Executive Committee.
PERSONNEL, COMPENSATION AND STOCK PLAN COMMITTEE
The Personnel, Compensation and Stock Plan Committee reviews and makes
recommendations regarding compensation and other employment benefits for the
Company's officers and other members of senior management. The committee also

COMPENSATION PAID TO BOARD MEMBERS
Directors are reimbursed for travel and other expenses related to attendance at
Board of Directors and committee meetings. Directors who are employees of the

paid a quarterly retainer of $5,000, plus $1,000 for each meeting attended of
the Board of Directors or of a committee; if two such meetings were held on the
same day, only $500 was paid for the second meeting. Additionally, each
committee chairman received a quarterly retainer of $1,250. Directors may defer
all or a portion of their fees until a later specified event, such as
retirement. The Company also has a retirement benefit plan for directors who
serve a minimum of three years, which provides for the continuation of one-half
of their annual retainer for each year of service up to a maximum of ten years.

The number of shares represented by the unvested portion of these awards and
their value as of November 30, 1994, as represented by the closing price of
the Company's Common Stock as reported in the Wall Street Journal, were as
follows: Mr. Karatz 137,500 shares, $1,753,125; Mr. Menard 36,667 shares,
$467,504; and Mr. Nafilyan 68,750 shares, $876,563. These values do not give
effect to the diminution of value attributable to the restrictions on such
shares. Dividends on Restricted Stock are paid to the named executive
officers.
(3) These amounts represent the Company's aggregate contributions to the
Company's 401(k) Savings Plan, Supplemental Non-Qualified Deferred
Compensation Plan and the amount of interest earned on the Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan at a rate in excess of 120% of the applicable
federal rate. In fiscal 1994, the named executive officers accrued the
following respective amounts
11

under such plans: Mr. Karatz $9,240, $26,880 and $3,103; Mr. Menard $9,240,
$5,660 and $857; and Mr. Nafilyan -0-, -0- and $862. Messrs. Praw and Henn
did not participate in these plans.
(4) Amounts set forth in the table for fiscal year 1994 represent compensation
earned since March 7, 1994 when Mr. Praw joined the Company as Senior Vice
President, Real Estate. Amounts set forth in the table for fiscal year 1992
represent compensation paid through July 31, 1992. See discussion in
footnote 2 above.
(5) Amounts set forth in the table represent compensation earned since July 11,
1994 when Mr. Henn joined the Company as Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer.

(1) In 1994, the Company awarded performance units ("Performance Units") under
the Company's 1988 Employee Stock Plan in lieu of stock options to officers
and other key employees, including the named executive officers. Performance
Units represent the opportunity to receive shares of Common Stock, the
number of which will be equally determined by the varying levels of (i) the
Company's cumulative earnings per share and (ii) the growth in total
stockholder return as compared to the S&P 500 Stock Index, over the period
beginning in fiscal year 1994 and ending in fiscal year 1996. The range of
payout may vary from 0% to 150% of the target depending on the Company's
performance. Payment, if any, of an award under a Performance Unit will be
valued at the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on November
30, 1996. One-third of the award will vest at November 30, 1996 and, at the
Company's discretion, may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock. The
remaining two-thirds will be paid in shares of restricted Common Stock which
must be held until November 30, 1997 in order to vest. Participants must be
employed at the time of vesting to qualify for the award.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
------------------------
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Mr. Karatz is employed under an agreement with the Company that was entered into
in 1988 and is automatically renewed for a one-year period each January 31st,
subject to the right of the Company or Mr. Karatz to terminate on six months'
prior notice. Mr. Karatz's agreement provides that if a majority interest in the
Company is sold or his employment with the Company is terminated prior to the
agreement's expiration, under certain circumstances, including as a result of a
"change in control" of the Company, he will receive a payment of two times his
average annual compensation for the prior three fiscal years. Mr. Karatz's
agreement provides for similar benefits in the event of death or disability. Mr.
Karatz' agreement was amended in February 1995 in connection with the proposed
Performance-Based Incentive Plan for Senior Management. See the Compensation
Committee Report at page 19 and "Performance-Based Incentive Plan for Senior
Management" at pages 25-26 for a further discussion of these amendments; see
also the Compensation Committee Report at page 19 for a discussion of the
compensation provisions in Mr. Karatz' agreement.
Mr. Menard is employed pursuant to an agreement that was entered into in 1992,
and was scheduled to expire on November 30, 1995. In February 1995, certain
amendments were made to Mr. Menard's agreement which were retroactively
effective as of December 1, 1994. Among other things, the amendments: (i) extend
the term of the agreement until November 30, 1997; (ii) increase Mr. Menard's
base salary for fiscal 1995 to $350,000; (iii) amend the annual incentive
compensation formula set forth in his agreement by reducing the percentage of
pre-tax income of the Company's domestic operations to which Mr. Menard is
entitled in fiscal 1995; and (iv) provide that all incentive compensation paid
to Mr. Menard will be paid under and subject to the limits set forth in the
Performance-Based Incentive Plan for Senior Management, if approved by
stockholders. See "Performance-Based Incentive Plan for Senior Management" at
page 26 for a discussion of a further amendment to Mr. Menard's employment
agreement that was made in connection with the proposed Performance-Based
Incentive Plan for Senior Management. Mr. Menard's agreement also provides that
if Mr. Menard terminates his employment with the Company, he may not engage in a
competitive business for one year thereafter.
Mr. Praw is employed under an agreement with the Company dated February 20,
1994. Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Praw receives a specified base salary. His
incentive compensation award for 1994 was guaranteed under the terms of his
agreement; all future annual incentive awards made to Mr. Praw will be based on
his performance. Upon joining the Company, Mr. Praw also received 10,000
Performance Units under the 1988 Employee Stock Plan in accord with the terms of
his agreement.
Mr. Henn is employed under an agreement with the Company dated June 7, 1994,
pursuant to which he receives a specified base salary. Mr. Henn's incentive
compensation award for 1994 was guaranteed pursuant to the terms of his
agreement; in the future, his incentive compensation awards will be determined,
in part, by a formula based on the pre-tax income of the Company and, in part,
by his performance. In accord with his
14
19
agreement, upon joining the Company Mr. Henn also received 10,000 Performance
Units and 20,000 stock options under the 1988 Employee Stock Plan.
Under their respective agreements Messrs. Menard,
Praw and Henn are also eligible to receive other benefits afforded to Company
executives, including the receipt of stock option grants and other awards under
the Company's employee stock plans. If the employment of Messrs. Menard, Praw or
Henn is terminated under certain other circumstances, they will receive one
year's base compensation plus a specified percentage of the then-current fiscal
year's anticipated incentive compensation paid over a 12-month period.
CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
Under the Company's 1988 Employee Stock Plan, all outstanding stock options
shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions on outstanding shares of
restricted stock shall lapse upon a "change in ownership" in the Company. A
change in ownership will be deemed to occur if (i) current members of the Board
of Directors or other directors elected by three-quarters of the current members
or their respective replacements (excluding certain individuals who took office
in connection with an acquisition of 20% or more of the Company's voting
securities or in connection with an election contest) cease to represent a
majority of the Board or (ii) the Board determines that a change in control has
occurred.
The Company also maintains a non-qualified Executive Deferred Compensation
Plan. From 1985 to 1992, pursuant to the plan Messrs. Karatz and Menard,
deferred receipt of a certain amount of pre-tax income, plus a Company matching
contribution, until retirement, termination or certain other events, including a
"change in control." A change in control is defined in the plan to include the
acquisition by a person or "group" (as defined) of 25% or more of the Company's
voting power, a transaction which results change in a majority of the
then-incumbent Board or the Company ceasing to be publicly owned. No new
contributions to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan may be made, but the
Company will continue to pay interest on prior contributions still held in the
plan.

PERSONNEL, COMPENSATION AND STOCK PLAN
COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
------------------------
THE COMMITTEE
The Personnel, Compensation and Stock Plan Committee of the Board of Directors
(the "Compensation Committee" or the "Committee") is composed entirely of
non-employee directors and is responsible for establishing, monitoring and
reviewing the compensation programs in which all executives of the Company
participate, including the named executive officers. The Committee also
regularly reviews and approves the annual cash compensation (consisting of
salaries and incentive awards) for each of the Company's executives, all awards
made under Company's employee stock plans, the annual merit increase guidelines
for base salaries for all employees, and all officer nominations.
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
To promote the increase in net worth of the Company, maximize return to
stockholders and motivate senior management effectively, the executive
compensation philosophy of the Company has long been to closely align
compensation with Company performance. Accordingly, the Company's compensation
practices for management are intended to:
- - Align individual performance objectives with the interests of stockholders and
with the Company's performance;
- - Balance the elements of compensation to support achievement of short-term
business plans and long-term strategic goals;
- - Reward individuals for outstanding contributions to the Company's success; and
- - Attract, motivate and retain executives of the highest quality.
Of the foregoing objectives, however, the Committee places the greatest
emphasis on linking compensation with the interests of stockholders and with the
Company's performance. To this end, 63.5% of the named executive officers' total
cash compensation for 1994 was from incentives related to the Company's
performance. Mr. Karatz, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
received 69.1% of his cash compensation from performance-based incentives,
consistent with 69.4% in 1993. The Committee believes that these percentages
evidence the Company's commitment to a vital and explicit link between executive
compensation and the creation of stockholder value.
The process utilized by the Committee in determining executive compensation
takes into account both qualitative and quantitative factors. In 1994, the
Committee indexed elements of executive compensation against such corporate
performance measures as pre-tax income, earnings per share, and total return to
stockholders. Consistent with its approach during the last several years,
however, the Committee gave the most weight to the Company's pre-tax income in
determining executive compensation. The Committee also appreciates the
importance of achievements that may be difficult to quantify, and accordingly
may recognize qualitative factors, such as the successful implementation of
major corporate projects and the assumption of additional corporate
responsibilities.
While the Committee takes into account the compensation practices and
corporate financial performance of certain peer group companies in the
homebuilding industry (the "Compensation Peer Group"), the Committee does not
target total executive compensation to any specific point
16
21
within, or outside, the range of the Compensation Peer Group results.
COMPENSATION COMPONENTS
The Company's executive compensation programs are based on three
components -- base salary, annual incentives and long-term compensation -- each
of which plays an integral role in the Company's overall approach to
compensation.
Base Salary. Salaries provide a necessary element of stability in the Company's
total compensation program and, as such, are typically not subject to
significant variability. Executive salaries are reviewed and established in
light of the duties and scope of responsibilities of each executive's position.
In establishing salaries for 1994, the Committee considered each executive's
contributions during the past fiscal year, the competitive market for equally
qualified executives, and the compensation for equivalent executive positions in
the Compensation Peer Group.
The Compensation Peer Group is comprised of the nine leading, publicly-held
homebuilding companies, and includes the companies (excluding the Company) that
comprise the S&P Homebuilding Index used in the "Kaufman and Broad Home
Corporation Common Stock Price Performance" graph on page 20, plus seven
additional companies. The Compensation Peer Group was used instead of the S&P
Homebuilding Index because the Committee believes the broader comparison
afforded by the Compensation Peer Group is a more constant and accurate
indicator of the compensation practices of the leading companies in the
homebuilding industry.
In 1994, the Committee did not set a specific percentile target for the named
executive officers' base salaries relative to the Compensation Peer Group. For
the past three years, however, base salaries paid to the named executive
officers as a group have been below or at the average for the Compensation Peer
Group; and Mr. Karatz's salary has been at the average or somewhat above the
average for chairmen and chief executive officers within the Compensation Peer
Group. The Committee believes that the Company's executive base salaries are
administered conservatively in light of the fact that the Company has typically
out-performed and is larger than most of the companies in the Compensation Peer
Group. Further, the Company is unique among the companies in the Compensation
Peer Group in that it competes in international markets and thus requires that
certain of its executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, have an
expertise in international business. The base salaries of Messrs. Karatz,
Menard, Praw and Henn are governed in part by their employment agreements with
the Company (see "Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements" at
page 14).
The Committee authorized a 5% increase in base salaries for all Company
employees in 1994, consistent with the 5% increase in 1993. The salary increase
for 1994 was determined by general reference to national trends across
industries, and by specific reference to practices in the homebuilding industry
in California and the nation. For the three named executive officers who were
employed with the Company at the outset of 1994, their base salary increases for
fiscal 1994 averaged 1.9%, less than the Company-wide increase. Two of the named
executive officers joined the Company during 1994 and thus did not receive a
salary increase for the fiscal year.
Annual Incentive Awards. The Company's annual incentive awards are a
significant component of executive compensation, reflecting the Company's belief
that management's contribution to stockholder returns results from maximizing
the earnings potential of the Company. Accordingly, in 1994 Messrs. Karatz and
Menard, the Company's key operational officers, as well as each of the Company's
17
22
division presidents, earned a cash award based upon a specific percentage of the
pre-tax income of the Company (or a particular division or operating unit, as
applicable). By its extensive reliance on this incentive award system, the
Committee links a substantial portion of the annual pay for key operational
executives directly to the Company's profitability. Annual incentive bonuses for
certain other executives, including Messrs. Nafilyan, Praw and Henn, were either
determined by reference to their employment agreement or the Committees'
subjective assessment of their job performance and contribution to the overall
goals of the Company.
In 1994, 63.5% of the total compensation for the named executive officers
consisted of incentives, as compared with an average of 39.2% for the
Compensation Peer Group.
Long-Term Compensation. Long-term incentive compensation is paid to executives
primarily in the form of stock-based awards pursuant to the Company's 1988
Employee Stock Plan. This aspect of the Company's compensation program is
intended to retain executives and motivate them to improve the long-term value
of stockholders' investments in the Company.
In most years, long-term incentive compensation is awarded to the Company's
executives in the form of stock options or shares of restricted stock that vest
over a period of years pursuant to a fixed schedule. The Committee does,
however, periodically provide substantially higher risk long-term incentive
compensation which, in turn, offers executives a corresponding opportunity to
earn higher returns.
To that end, in 1994 the Committee established the 1994 Performance Share
Program, administered under the Company's 1988 Employee Stock Plan, pursuant to
which it awarded Performance Units to the Company's key executives in lieu of
stock options. The value of each Performance Unit will be realized, if at all,
at the end of fiscal-year 1996 and will be determined equally by (i) the
Company's cumulative earnings per share ("EPS") and (ii) the Company's total
return to stockholders ("TRS") over the S&P 500 for the three year period from
December 1, 1994 through November 30, 1996. One-third of each award of
Performance Units made under the 1994 Performance Share Program will vest on
November 30, 1996 and, at the Company's discretion, may be paid in cash or
shares of Common Stock. The remaining two-thirds of each award will be paid in
shares of restricted Common Stock that must be held until November 30, 1997 in
order to vest.
In determining the number of Performance Units to be granted each of the named
executive officers in 1994, the Committee considered, in order of significance,
(i) the Committee's subjective assessment of the executive's actual and
anticipated contribution to the Company's business; (ii) the executive's total
proposed compensation for the year; and (iii) the executive's holdings of
previously granted stock-based awards. Accordingly, in 1994 the named executive
officers received awards ranging from 5,000 to 78,000 Performance Units (see
"Long-Term Incentive Plans -- Awards in Last Fiscal Year" at page 13).
By implementing the 1994 Performance Share Program, the Committee sought to
motivate senior management toward improving the Company's long-term performance,
to link compensation to performance through tying a portion of the payout to
EPS, to link compensation to the creation of stockholder value through tying a
portion of the payout to TRS, and to encourage executive retention.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, the Committee
made a grant of certain stock options to Mr. Henn when he joined the Company in
1994 (see "Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements" at pages
14-15). The Committee made no other stock option awards to executive officers
during the fiscal year.
18
23
COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN FISCAL 1994
Mr. Karatz is employed under an agreement with the Company that was entered into
in 1988. Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Karatz received a base salary of
$600,000 in 1994, reflecting no change from his base salary at the end of 1993,
and an annual cash incentive bonus that represented 1.75% of the Company's total
1994 pre-tax income. Mr. Karatz' agreement provides that he is entitled to
receive other benefits afforded to other executives of the Company and,
accordingly, in 1994 Mr. Karatz received a discretionary award of 78,000
Performance Units under the 1994 Performance Share Program in accord with the
principles described above.
The Compensation Committee believes that it is generally desirable that all
compensation paid to the Company's employees be tax deductible for the Company.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 162(m)") provides that
annual compensation paid in excess of $1 million to any named executive officer
may not be deducted unless such compensation is based on objective performance
criteria which have been approved by stockholders. The proposed
Performance-Based Incentive Plan for Senior Management (the "Incentive Plan") is
designed to qualify incentive compensation paid to the named executive officers,
including Mr. Karatz, for a deduction by the Company in accord with Section
162(m) (see "Performance-Based Incentive Plan for Senior Management" at pages
23-28). In February 1995, Mr. Karatz' employment agreement was amended to
provide that if the Incentive Plan is approved by stockholders, in an effort to
qualify such awards for a deduction under Section 162(m), all future cash and
stock-based incentive bonus awards made to Mr. Karatz under his agreement will
be made under and subject to the amount limitations set forth in the Incentive
Plan. The amendment further provides that if the Incentive Plan is not approved
by stockholders, Mr. Karatz' current employment agreement will terminate and he
will receive no future compensation thereunder. No other amendments were made to
the performance-based incentive compensation formula set forth in Mr. Karatz'
agreement.
POLICY ON DEDUCTIBILITY OF COMPENSATION
As a general matter, the Company intends to comply with the requirements of
Section 162(m) and maintain deductibility for all executive compensation, except
in circumstances when the tax benefit to the Company is outweighed by the burden
of compliance with Section 162(m) and the Committee feels that the actions
required to comply with Section 162(m) would not be in the best interests of the
Company or its stockholders. The proposed Incentive Plan is designed to meet the
requirements of Section 162(m).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS
AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
------------------------
The members of the Compensation Committee throughout 1994 were David O.
Maxwell, Chairman, Eli Broad, Dr. Ray R. Irani and Lester Pollack. Mr. Johnson
was elected to the Committee in April 1994. Mr. Broad, the Company's
Founder-Chairman throughout 1994, is the Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of SunAmerica Inc. ("SunAmerica"), the Company's former parent. Messrs.
Maxwell and Pollack are also directors of SunAmerica.
TRANSACTIONS WITH SUNAMERICA INC.
Special Common Stock and Warrants. The Company's business originated in 1957
and was operated through various subsidiaries of SunAmerica, previously known as
Kaufman and Broad Inc., until 1986. At that time, SunAmerica transferred to the
Company all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries then conducting
SunAmerica's on-site housing businesses as well as the stock of Kaufman and
Broad Mortgage Company. The Company shortly thereafter completed an initial
public offering of its Common Stock, after which SunAmerica continued to own
approximately 92.6% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. In 1989,
SunAmerica distributed substantially all of its holdings in the Company's Common
Stock pro-rata to holders of SunAmerica's common stock (the "Distribution").
Immediately prior to the Distribution, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunAmerica,
Sun Life Insurance Company of America ("SLICA"), acquired warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of the Company's Special Common
Stock in connection with the financing of a portion of the special cash dividend
paid to holders of the Company's Common Stock at the time of the Distribution.
In 1992, pursuant to the exercise of certain registration rights held by
SLICA, the Company registered shares of Special Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, and subsequently
issued 5,123,000 shares in connection with a public offering. At the conclusion
of such offering, SLICA continued to retain the balance of Warrants to purchase
2,377,000 shares of Special Common Stock.
On November 8, 1993, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase all of
its 5,123,000 outstanding shares of Special Common Stock at a price of $19.00
per share. The offer expired on December 7, 1993. A total of 2,331,785 shares of
Special Common Stock were tendered and 2,791,215 shares of Special Common Stock
were left remaining outstanding.
In addition, on December 23, 1993, the Company purchased the remaining
2,377,000 Warrants at a price equal to the tender offer price, less the $6.96
per Warrant exercise price. As a result of this transaction, SLICA no longer
holds any Warrants, nor beneficially owns any shares of the Company's Special
Common Stock.
The tender offer for the Special Common Stock, and the Warrant purchase, were
unanimously approved as fair to stockholders tendering in and remaining after
the tender offer and in the best interests of the Company (i) first by a
separate vote of all members of the Company's Board of Directors excluding those
directors who are also directors of SunAmerica, and (ii) then by the full Board
of Directors.
The remaining 2,791,215 outstanding shares of Special Common Stock were
subsequently exchanged by the Company on various dates in 1994 at a rate of .95
shares of Common Stock for each share of Special Common Stock. There were no
outstanding shares of Special Common Stock at November 30, 1994.

Deferred Tax Liability Matter. In June 1994, the Company paid $4.4 million to
SunAmerica to settle an outstanding dispute between the companies concerning the
computation of certain deferred tax liabilities on the books of the Company
which arose before the Distribution.
A special committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of a disinterested
director who was not affiliated in any way with SunAmerica and had no interest
in the dispute, was appointed by the Board of Directors and was given authority
to independently investigate and resolve the dispute. The special committee
concluded that the settlement was fair, reasonable and in the best interests of
the Company and its stockholders. The special committee based its conclusion
upon an independent review of SunAmerica's claims and the Company's potential
defenses, and a number of other considerations including, among other things,
the amount of SunAmerica's claims, the advice of the special committee's outside
consultants, the potential expense to the Company of any litigation, and the
recommendations of disinterested board members, including the Company's
disinterested director who served on the special committee, appointed by the two
companies to resolve the dispute.

PROPOSAL TWO:
PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN
FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT
------------------------
At its January 1995 meeting, the Board of Directors approved the Incentive
Plan upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The Incentive Plan
will provide for annual incentive awards to certain of the Company's key
executives and is being submitted to stockholders in an effort to assure that
such awards will be tax deductible for the Company. Section 162(m) places a $1
million annual limit on the amount of compensation paid to the named executive
officers that may be deducted by the Company for federal income tax purposes,
unless such compensation is based on the achievement of pre-established
performance goal(s) set by the Compensation Committee pursuant to an incentive
plan that has been approved by the Company's stockholders.
Stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan is necessary for maintaining the
tax-deductible status of incentive payments made to the named executive
officers, as well as to allow the Company to continue its long-standing policy
of rewarding those key employees who are largely responsible for the continued
growth and profitability of the Company by offering them the opportunity to earn
competitive levels of compensation. Further, the Incentive Plan is consistent
with the Company's belief that stockholder value is enhanced by basing a
significant portion of an executive's compensation on the performance of the
Company and/or his or her business unit.
The primary features of the Incentive Plan are summarized below.
PLAN SUMMARY
EFFECTIVE DATE
If approved by stockholders, the Incentive Plan will become effective
retroactive to December 1, 1994 (the beginning of the Company's 1995 fiscal
year), and will terminate on November 30, 2004. If the Incentive Plan is not
approved by stockholders, it will not go into effect. No award may be made under
the Incentive Plan after its expiration date, but awards made prior thereto may
extend beyond that date.
ADMINISTRATION
The Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which is
composed entirely of non-employee directors who are ineligible to participate in
the Incentive Plan, are "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are "outside directors" within the
meaning of Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee has full authority to
interpret the Incentive Plan and to establish rules for its administration. The
Compensation Committee has the authority to select the officers who will
participate in the Incentive Plan, to determine maximum individual awards (not
to exceed the stockholder approved maximums described below), to set targets at
the beginning of each performance year, to determine the degree of attainment of
performance goals, and to determine the amounts payable to each participant and
the timing and terms of such payment, unless otherwise provided for by contract.
The Committee may accelerate the date on which an option may be exercised or the
date of termination
23
28
of restrictions applicable to a restricted stock award if the Committee
determines that to do so would be in the best interests of the Company and the
participants in the Incentive Plan.
ELIGIBILITY
Awards may be made under the Incentive Plan to any person who was, during the
fiscal year for which the award is to be made, an officer of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries. Currently, Messrs. Karatz and Menard are the only officers
whom the Compensation Committee has selected to participate in the Incentive
Plan.
DETERMINATION OF AWARDS
In determining awards to be made under the Incentive Plan, the Committee may
approve a formula which is based on one or more objective criteria to measure
corporate performance ("Performance Criteria") as set forth in an employment
agreement, or in the first quarter of each fiscal year the Compensation
Committee may establish Performance Criteria and set annual performance
objectives ("Performance Goals") with respect to such Performance Criteria for
the Company, a business unit(s) or an individual. Performance Criteria may
include the Company's (or specified divisions') pre-tax income, after tax
income, cash flow, return on equity, return on capital, earnings per share, unit
volume, net sales or service quality, measured by preset quality objectives.
When used as Performance Criteria under the Incentive Plan, pre-tax and after
tax income may be calculated by including all incentive compensation paid to
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries during the relevant fiscal year.
The Committee will also determine in the first quarter of each fiscal year the
amount and form of compensation payable to the participant upon attainment of a
Performance Goal.
Payment of awards may be made in the form of cash, stock options, SARs,
restricted stock or a combination thereof. All determinations regarding the
achievement of Performance Goals and the determination of actual awards will be
made by the Compensation Committee. In addition, because they are regarded as
inherently performance-based for purposes of Section 162(m), awards of stock
options or SARs may be made based on the Compensation Committee's subjective
assessment of an officer's job performance, and not necessarily contingent on
the achievement of a Performance Goal. The Compensation Committee may in its
discretion decrease, but not increase, the amount of any award that otherwise
would be payable under the Incentive Plan.
AMOUNT AVAILABLE AND MAXIMUM INDIVIDUAL AWARDS
The amount available for awards in any year shall be determined by the
Compensation Committee. The aggregate maximum amount of cash compensation
payable pursuant to an award under the Incentive Plan in a given year to any
individual other than Chief Executive Officer cannot exceed $2 million; annual
cash awards to the Chief Executive Officer may not exceed $3 million.
No more than an aggregate total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock may be issued under the Incentive Plan over its ten-year term. The Company
may determine to use shares of treasury stock or purchase shares on the open
market, in lieu of using newly authorized shares, to pay awards. To the extent
that a stock-based award is settled for cash or otherwise terminates without the
delivery of shares, the shares underlying such award will again become available
for subsequent awards under the Incentive Plan. In the event an option is
exercised through the delivery of shares or tax withholding liabilities are
satisfied by the withholding of shares otherwise deliverable under an award, the
number of shares available for awards under the Incentive Plan shall
24
29
be increased by the number of shares so surrendered or withheld. No participant
in any given year may receive stock or a stock-based award(s) in excess of
100,000 shares; provided, however, that this number may be increased in any year
to the extent that stock-based awards in any prior years under the Incentive
Plan to that participant represented less than 100,000 shares. In addition to
awards received under the Incentive Plan, participants may also receive periodic
grants of stock options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards under the
Company's 1988 Employee Stock Plan or other employee compensation plans.
STOCK OPTION AWARDS
The Compensation Committee may grant either statutory incentive stock options
("Incentive Options") within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code") or stock options that do not qualify for special
income tax treatment ("Non-Statutory Options").
Non-Statutory Options granted under the Incentive Plan may be exercisable for
a term of no longer than fifteen years (ten years in the case of Incentive Stock
Options) from the date of grant and shall have an exercise price per share of
not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the
date of grant. Stock options may not be repriced under the Incentive Plan.
The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the option is
granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Options are first
exercisable by any eligible person during any calendar year may not exceed
$100,000.
SAR AWARDS
The Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights ("SARs") alone,
or in tandem with stock options. SARs granted alone may not have a term longer
than fifteen years from the date of grant and provide the participant with the
right to receive upon exercise of the SAR, either in cash or in shares of Common
Stock as determined by the Compensation Committee, in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise over
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
SARs granted in tandem with a stock option (the "Related Option") will provide
to the participant the right to receive upon exercise of the SAR, either in cash
or in whole shares of Common Stock as determined by the Compensation Committee,
an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock
subject to the Related Option surrendered by the participant on the date of
exercise over the exercise price of the Related Option. SARs granted in tandem
with a Related Option shall be exercisable only when the Related Option is
exercisable and shall have a term equal to the term of the Related Option.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
The Committee may also issue or transfer shares of the Company's Common Stock to
a participant under an award of restricted stock. Restricted stock awards will
be subject to certain conditions and restrictions during a specific period of
time, such as the grantee remaining in the employment of the Company and the
attainment of specified Performance Goals. Stock certificates for such shares
will be held by the Company during the restriction period and cannot be
transferred by the grantee prior to the termination of that period. The grantee,
however, may be entitled to vote the shares and receive dividends currently.
CONTRACTUALLY ESTABLISHED FORMULAS FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT
Under their respective employment agreements, both Messrs. Karatz and Menard
receive annual performance-based incentive awards (see "Employment Agreements
and Change of Control Arrange-
25
30
ments" at page 14). In February 1995, each of Messrs. Karatz' and Menard's
employment agreements with the Company were amended to provide, among other
things, that future incentive bonuses and other awards made thereunder (i) would
be made under the Incentive Plan, if approved by stockholders, and (ii) would be
subject to the amount limitations on cash and stock-based awards set forth in
the Incentive Plan. The amendments further provide that Messrs. Karatz' and
Menard's current agreements will immediately terminate if the Incentive Plan is
not approved by stockholders and no future compensation will be paid thereunder
(see "Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements" at pages 14-15
for a further discussion of Messrs. Karatz' and Menard's employment agreements
and the amendments thereto).
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
Future awards under the Incentive Plan are not currently determinable. Set forth
below, however, are the incentive awards that would have been earned in 1994 by
Messrs. Karatz and Menard if the Incentive Plan had been in effect during 1994.
PARTICIPANT AWARD
------------------ ----------
Bruce Karatz...... $1,339,249
Roger Menard...... $ 762,257
The foregoing calculation for Mr. Menard does not give effect to the February
1995 amendment to the performance-based incentive compensation formula in his
employment agreement.
SUMMARY OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Non-Statutory Options and SARs. No taxable income generally is realized by a
participant and no deduction generally is then available to the Company upon the
grant of a Non-Statutory Option or SAR (each, a "Right"). Upon the exercise of a
Right and the transfer of cash or Common Stock to the participant, the excess
over the exercise price of the sum of cash a the fair market value of any Common
Stock issued pursuant to such exercise on the date of exercise will be ordinary
income to the participant subject to withholding and will generally be allowed
as a deduction to the Company at that time for federal income tax purposes. The
participant's basis in any such Common Stock will be the fair market value of
the Common Stock determined generally at the time of exercise.
A participant will generally realize capital gain or loss on the disposition
of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of a Right, and such disposition will not
result in any additional federal income taxes to the Company.
Incentive Options. No taxable income is realized by a participant and no tax
deduction is available to the Company upon either the grant or exercise of an
Incentive Option, provided that the exercise occurs while the participant is an
employee of the Company or a subsidiary or within three months after termination
of employment (one year if termination is because of disability). If Common
Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Option is held until the later
of more than one year after such exercise and more than two years after the date
of grant of such Incentive Option (the "holding period"), the difference between
the exercise price and the amount realized upon the sale of such Common Stock
will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss and no deduction will be
available to the Company. If the Common Stock is disposed of prior to the
expiration of the holding period (a "Disqualifying Disposition"), the excess of
the fair market value of such Common Stock on the date of exercise over the
aggregate option exercise price (but generally not more than the excess of the
sale price over the tax basis of the Common Stock on the date of disposition)
will be treated as ordinary income to the participant and will generally be
allowed as a deduction to the Company. Any gain
26
31
realized in a Disqualifying Disposition in excess of the amount treated a
ordinary income, will be capital gain.
The excess of the fair market value of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to
the exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price of such option
may give rise at the time of exercise to alternative minimum taxable income
subject to the alternative minimum tax.
Restricted Stock. No taxable income generally is realized by a participant and
no deduction generally is then available to the Company upon the grant of Common
Stock that is not transferable and is subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code ("restricted stock").
Upon the lapse of either of such restrictions, the excess of the fair market
value of such stock at such time over the amount paid for such stock, if any,
will be ordinary income to the participant subject to withholding and will
generally be allowed as a deduction to the Company at that time.
If the participant so elects under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days of
a grant of restricted stock, the excess of the fair market value of such stock
at such time over the amount paid for such stock, if any, will be ordinary
income to the participant subject to withholding and will generally be allowed
as a deduction to the Company at that time. If the participant subsequently
forfeits the restricted stock, any loss realized by the participant will be a
capital loss and will be limited to the amount, if any, paid for the stock.
There would be no additional tax consequences to either the participant or the
Company upon the lapse of restrictions with respect to such stock.
Prior to the lapse of restrictions with respect to restricted stock, dividends
paid to a participant with respect to such stock for which no Section 83(b)
election has been made will be treated as additional compensation taxable as
ordinary income to the participant and will generally be allowed as a deduction
to the Company. Dividends paid to a participant on shares of restricted stock
with respect to which a valid Section 83(b) election has been made will be
treated as dividends taxable as ordinary income to the participant and will not
be allowed as a deduction to the Company, irrespective of whether the
restrictions with respect to such stock lapsed prior to such payment.
Cash. The amount of cash received by a participant is required to be recognized
by such participant as ordinary income subject to withholding and will generally
be allowed as a deduction to the Company.
General. Section 162(m) limits the deduction of compensation in excess of $1
million per year paid to certain of the Company's employees unless, among other
exceptions, the compensation is not performance-based compensation within the
meaning of that provision. The Internal Revenue Service has issued proposed
regulations under Section 162(m) (the "Proposed Regulations"), but there can be
no assurance that the final regulations will not differ materially from the
Propose Regulations or that compensation paid under the Incentive Plan will be
deductible by the Company. The Company, however, believes that Section 162(m),
as interpreted by the Proposed Regulations, will not limit the deduction of
compensation payable pursuant to the Incentive Plan.
Awards that are granted, accelerated or enhanced upon the occurrence of a
change in control may give rise, in whole or in part, to excess parachute
payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code ("Section 280G") to the
extent that such payments, when aggregated with other payments subject to
Section 280G, exceed the limitations contained in that provision. Such excess
parachute payments are not deductible by the Company and
27
32
are subject to an excise tax of 20 percent payable by the recipient.
The Incentive Plan is not subject to any provision of ERISA and is not
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Special rules may apply to a
participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934. Certain
additional special rules apply if the exercise price for an option is paid in
Common Stock previously owned by the participant rather than in cash.
The preceding discussion of federal income tax consequences does not purport
to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the Incentive
Plan. It is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect,
all of which are subject to change. No information is provided with respect to
foreign, state or local tax laws, or estate and gift tax considerations.
STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting will be
required to approve the material terms of the Incentive Plan.
