Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 3, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved and
recommended for Board approval a new compensation arrangement for each of the Company’s
non-employee directors. On August 4, 2005, the Board of Directors ratified and approved this new
arrangement. Under this new arrangement each non-employee director receives annual compensation
having a value of $135,000, of which 50% is paid in cash (payable in monthly installments) and 50%
is paid in the form of equity awards. Each director was also given the option of receiving 100% of
the annual compensation in the form of equity awards, in which case the annual compensation is
valued at $150,000. All equity awards to non-employee directors are comprised of 50% stock options
to purchase Class B Common Stock and 50% Restricted Stock Units (Class B Common Stock), were
granted on the date of Board approval and will be reflected in agreements to be entered into with
each non-employee director.
The exercise price of the stock options awarded to the non-employee directors is $105.05 (the
average of the high and low price of the Class B Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the
date of grant). The number of shares covered by the stock options was determined by valuing the
options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method. The options are fully exercisable
beginning on the date of grant and have a seven year term.
The number of Restricted Stock Units (Class B Common Stock) awarded to each non-employee
director is determined by reference to the closing price for the Class B Common Stock on the date
of award. The Restricted Stock Units (Class B Common Stock) become payable in shares of Class B
Common Stock when the non-employee director’s service on the board terminates because of the
director’s death or the director’s retirement in accordance with the Company’s Director Retirement
Policy or earlier with the consent of the Committee. In addition, the shares of stock represented
by the Restricted Stock Units (Class B Common Stock) become payable upon a change in
control. If the director’s service on the Board terminates by reason other than retirement or
death, the Restricted Stock Units (Class B Common Stock) will be forfeited.
The Chairperson of the Audit Committee and the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee will
receive additional compensation of $15,000 while the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee will received an additional $10,000. In addition, the Chairman of the Board
will receive $50,000 per year for services as the Chairman of the Board. Any chairperson electing
to receive the annual compensation in the form of 100% equity may also elect to receive the
chairperson fees in the form of equity awards.
The table below lists the number of stock options and Restricted Stock Units (Class B Common
Stock) granted to each non-employee director on August 4, 2005.
