On June 27, 2013, the Compensation Committee (Compensation Committee) of the Board of Directors of International Rectifier Corporation (the Company) established a short-term cash incentive program (the Program) for the Companys 2014 fiscal year, pursuant to which each of the following named executive officers of the Company (Named Officers) is eligible to participate: President and Chief Executive Officer, Oleg Khaykin; Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Ilan Daskal; Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, Gary Tanner; Executive Vice President GaN Technologies, Michael Barrow; and Senior Vice President, Global Sales, Adam White. The Program is described more fully in Item 5.02(e)(B) of the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2013 (the June 28, 2013 8-K), which description in respect of the Named Officers is incorporated herein by reference.
On January 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee established the performance goals applicable to each Named Officers eligible bonus opportunity under the Program for the last two quarters of the Companys 2014 fiscal year (Second Half Period).
