Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 21, 2011, the compensation committee of our board of directors (the Committee)
adopted a short-term incentive program (the 2011 Incentive Program) to provide the short-term
incentive compensation element of our total direct compensation program for this year. Under the
2011 Incentive Program, each executive officer will be eligible to receive short-term incentive
compensation in the form of a cash award based on the Committees assessment of our performance for
2011 relative to the key business activities and indicators listed below, as well as such other
factors or criteria that the Committee in its discretion deems appropriate.
The Committee has determined that the key business activities and indicators for 2011, as may
be revised by the Committee in its discretion, will relate to the following:
| Financial performance, including EBITDA, generation of free cash flow, economic profit, earnings per share, North America operating horsepower levels and international bookings; and | ||
| Safety, to be assessed by specific regional and group metrics for the incident rate for both recordable injuries (TRIR) and the number of vehicle incidents, with a corporate TRIR target of 0.75 or less. |
The Committee will assess 2011 performance of both the company and our business groups
relative to the financial and safety performance indicators listed above. The Committee also will
consider the following indicators in assessing the performance of our business groups:
| Customer service, to be assessed by various regional and group metrics for measuring and enhancing customer service, including equipment service availability and manufacturing quality; and | ||
| People, to be assessed by successful implementation of various regional and group initiatives intended to optimize and improve our overall human capital. |
With respect to Ernie L. Danner, our President and Chief Executive Officer, the Committee
intends to award performance-based short-term incentive compensation under the 2011 Incentive
Program based on (1) the Committees assessment of company performance relative to the financial
and safety performance indicators listed above and (2) Mr. Danners individual contribution toward
those performance indicators, including his demonstrated leadership, implementation of our business
strategy and success at driving employee engagement. No specific weight will be made as between
company performance and individual contribution. The Committee has reserved the right to modify the
list of performance indicators as well as target levels of one or more of these indicators in its
discretion based on internal and external developments during the course of 2011.
With respect to J. Michael Anderson (Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief
of Staff),
D. Bradley Childers (Senior Vice President), Joseph G. Kishkill (Senior Vice President) and
Daniel K. Schlanger (Senior Vice President, Operations Services), the Committee intends to award
performance-based short-term incentive compensation under the 2011 Incentive Program based on (1)
the Committees assessment of company performance relative to the financial and safety performance
factors listed above, (2) the performance of each officers business group relative to the
financial, safety, customer service and people performance indicators listed above, (3) each
officers individual contributions, including demonstrated leadership, implementation of our
business strategy and success at driving employee engagement, and (4) the recommendations of the
Chief Executive Officer. No specific weight will be made as between company performance, business
group performance and individual contribution. The Committee has reserved the right to modify the
list of performance indicators as well as target levels of one or more of these indicators in its
discretion based on internal and external developments during the course of 2011.
Each executive officers target bonus payment under the 2011 Incentive Program will be a
specified percentage of that individuals base salary, and each executive officers actual bonus
payment may be paid out at a
level of 0% to approximately 175% of target bonus based on the Committees review of the
factors set forth in the two preceding paragraphs, as may be adjusted by the Committee in its
discretion. In determining the target 2011 bonus opportunity for each of the following individuals,
whom we expect to be our named executive officers for 2010 in our 2011 proxy statement, the
Committee considered the relative responsibility of each executive officer and his potential impact
on the achievement our performance criteria. Those target 2011 bonus opportunities (expressed as a
percentage of each named executive officers base salary for 2011), are as follows:
2011 Bonus | ||||||||
Target | ||||||||

2011 will be determined by the Committee and paid in the first quarter of 2012.
