PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
PENTAIR, INC.
TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2007
Solicitation
This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card and our Annual Report to Shareholders are
being mailed on or about March 26, 2007. Our Board of Directors (the Board) is soliciting your
proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. The Board is soliciting your proxy to give all
shareholders of record the opportunity to vote on matters that will be presented at the Annual
Meeting. This Proxy Statement provides you with information on these matters to assist you in
voting your shares.
What is a proxy?
A proxy is your legal designation of another person (the proxy) to vote on your behalf. By
voting your proxy by submitting the enclosed proxy card, by telephone or over the Internet, you are
giving the persons named on the proxy card the authority to vote your shares in the manner you
indicate on your proxy card.
Why did I receive more than one proxy card?
You
will receive multiple proxy cards if you hold your shares in different ways (for example,
joint tenancy, trusts, custodial accounts) or in multiple accounts. If your shares are held by a
broker (in street name), you will receive your proxy card or other voting information from your
broker, and you will return your proxy card or cards or otherwise vote your proxy as indicated in
the materials you receive with this Proxy Statement. You should vote your proxy for each separate
account you have.
Voting Information
Who is qualified to vote?
You are qualified to receive notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote if you own shares of our
Common Stock at the close of business on our record date of March 5, 2007.
How many shares of Common Stock may vote at the Annual Meeting?
As
of March 5, 2007, there were 100,073,935 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter presented.
What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a street name holder?
These terms describe how your shares are held. If your shares are registered directly in your
name with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., our transfer agent, you are a shareholder of record. If your
shares are held in the name of a brokerage, bank, trust or other nominee as a custodian, you are a
street name holder.
How do I vote my shares?
If you are a shareholder of record, you have three choices. You can vote your proxy:
|
|
|
by mailing in the enclosed proxy card; |
|
|
|
|
over the telephone; or |
|
|
|
|
via the Internet. |
Please refer to the specific instructions set forth on the enclosed proxy card. For security
reasons, our electronic voting system has been designed to authenticate your identity as a
shareholder.
If you hold your shares in street name, your broker/bank/trustee/nominee will provide you
with materials and instructions for voting your shares.
1
Can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares in person at the Annual
Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you must obtain a proxy from your broker,
banker, trustee or nominee, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.
What are the Boards recommendations on how I should vote my shares?
The Board recommends that you
vote your shares as follows:
|
|
|
Proposal 1
|
|
FOR the election of three nominees for
election to our Board with terms expiring
at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. |
|
|
|
Proposal 2
|
|
FOR the amendment of our Articles of
Incorporation to adopt a majority voting
standard for the election of directors. |
|
|
|
Proposal 3
|
|
FOR the amendment of our Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws to provide for
the election of up to eleven directors. |
|
|
|
Proposal 4
|
|
AGAINST a shareholder proposal that we
add sexual orientation to our written
non-discrimination policy. |
|
|
|
Proposal 5
|
|
AGAINST a shareholder proposal that we issue a sustainability report to shareholders. |
|
|
|
Proposal 6
|
|
FOR the ratification of the
appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our
independent registered public accounting
firm for the fiscal year ending December
31, 2007. |
What are my choices when voting?
Proposal 1 You may cast your vote in favor of electing the nominees as directors, or you
may withhold your vote on one or more nominees.
Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 You may cast your vote in favor of or against each proposal, or
you may elect to abstain from voting your shares.
How would my shares be voted if I do not specify how they should be voted?
If you submit your proxy without indicating how you want your shares to be voted, the persons
named on the proxy card will vote your shares according to the Boards recommendations that are
listed above.
As to any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named
on the proxy card will vote in accordance with their best judgment. We do not presently know of
any other business.
How many shares of Common Stock constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting?
A majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 5, 2007, will constitute a
quorum at the Annual Meeting.
What vote is required to approve each proposal?
Proposals 1, 4, 5 and 6 each require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares
present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Proposals 2 and 3 each require the affirmative vote of at least 60% of those shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, so long as the negative
vote of those shares entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting does not exceed 25%.
How are abstentions and broker non-votes treated?
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or
absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Minnesota law and our
Articles of Incorporation provide that abstentions are counted in determining the total number of
the votes cast on proposals presented to shareholders, but that abstentions are not treated as
votes in favor of proposals voted upon at the Annual Meeting. For proposals 1, 4, 5 and 6, broker
non-votes are not counted for purposes of determining the total number of votes cast on proposals
presented to shareholders. For proposals 2 and 3, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted
neither as votes for the proposal with respect to the 60% approval requirement nor as negative
votes with respect to the 25% disapproval limitation.
2
Can I change my vote after I have submitted my proxy?
You may revoke your proxy by doing one of the following:
|
|
|
by sending a written notice of revocation to our
Secretary that is received before the Annual Meeting,
stating that you revoke your proxy; |
|
|
|
|
by delivering a later-dated proxy by telephone, on
the Internet, or in writing so that it is received
before the Annual Meeting in accordance with the
instructions included in the proxy card(s); or |
|
|
|
|
by attending the Annual Meeting and voting your shares in person. |
Who will count the votes?
Representatives from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., our transfer agent, will count the votes and
serve as our Inspectors of Election. The Inspectors of Election will be present at the Annual
Meeting.
Who pays the cost of this proxy solicitation?
We pay the costs of soliciting proxies sought by the Board. Upon request, we will reimburse
brokers, dealers, banks and trustees, or their nominees, for reasonable expenses incurred by them
in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares of our Common Stock. Morrow & Co., 470
West Avenue, Stamford, Connecticut, is assisting us in the solicitation of proxies at a cost to us
of $8,500, plus expenses. Votes are tabulated by our stock transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
Board Governance
The Board has adopted and regularly reviews and, if appropriate, revises its Corporate
Governance Principles and written charters for its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee,
Governance Committee and International Committee in accordance with rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). We and our Board continue to
be committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and ethics. The Board also adopted
Pentairs Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (Code of Conduct) and has designated it as the code
of ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers. Copies of all of these
documents are available, free of charge, on our website at www.pentair.com/code.html or in print to
any shareholder who requests them in writing from our Secretary.
Independent Directors
The Board determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director.
The Board makes these determinations in accordance with the NYSE rules for independence of
directors and categorical standards of independence included in the Corporate Governance Principles
which are attached as Appendix A. Based on these standards, at its meeting held on February 27,
2007, the Board affirmatively determined that each of the following non-employee directors and
non-employee director nominees is independent and has no material relationship with us, except as a
director or shareholder:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) Glynis A. Bryan
|
|
(6) Ronald L. Merriman |
|
|
(2) Barbara B. Grogan
|
|
(7) William T. Monahan |
|
|
(3) Charles A. Haggerty
|
|
(8) Karen E. Welke |
|
|
(4) David A. Jones
|
|
(9) T. Michael Glenn |
|
|
(5) Augusto Meozzi |
|
(10) David H. Y. Ho |
In addition, based on the NYSE standards and categorical standards of independence included in
the Corporate Governance Principles, the Board affirmatively determined that: (a) Randall J. Hogan
is not independent because he is our Chief Executive Officer; and (b) Richard J. Cathcart is not
independent because he is our employee.
In determining the independence of directors, our Governance Committee considers circumstances
where one of our directors also serves as a director or executive officer of a company that is our
customer or supplier. The Governance Committee has reviewed each of these relationships, which are
set forth below. In each case, the relationship involves sales to or purchases from the
organization indicated which (i) amount to less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of that
organizations consolidated gross revenues during each of 2006, 2005 and 2004; and (ii) during all
relevant years were not of an amount or nature that impeded the directors exercise of independent
judgment.

Shareholder and Other Stakeholder Communication with the Board
If you are a shareholder or other stakeholder and wish to communicate with the Board,
non-management directors as a group or any individual director, including the Lead Director, you
may send a letter addressed to the relevant party, c/o Corporate Secretary, Pentair, Inc., 5500
Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 800, Golden Valley, MN 55416. The Board has instructed the Secretary to
forward such communications directly to the addressee(s).
Committees of the Board
The Board has four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the
Governance Committee and the International Committee. The International Committee meets once or
twice a year. The other committees generally hold meetings when the Board meets and additionally
as needed. Management representatives attend each committee meeting. Independent directors
generally also meet in executive session without management present.
Audit Committee

|
Role:
|
|
The Audit Committee is responsible, among other things, for assisting the Board with oversight of our accounting
and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements. These responsibilities include the
integrity of the financial statements, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independence and
qualifications of our external auditor and the performance of our internal audit function and of the external
auditor. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, terms of engagement
(including retention and termination) and oversight of the work of the external auditor. The Audit Committee holds
meetings periodically with our independent and internal auditors, the Board and management to review and monitor
the adequacy and effectiveness of reporting, internal controls, risk assessment and compliance with our policies. |

determined to be independent under SEC and NYSE rules. Mr. Merriman is a member of the audit committees of Aircastle Limited, Realty Income

Board has determined that Mr. Merrimans service on the audit committees of three other public
companies does not impair his ability to effectively serve on our Audit Committee.

resources consulting firm, to aid the Committee in its annual review of
our executive and director compensation programs for continuing
appropriateness and reasonableness and to make recommendations regarding
executive officer and director compensation levels and structures.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 2006, we did not employ any member of the Compensation Committee as an officer or
employee and there were no interlock relationships.
Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Person Transactions
In February 2007, our Board adopted written policies and procedures regarding related person
transactions. For purposes of these policies and procedures:
6
|
|
|
a related person means any of our directors, executive officers or five-percent
shareholders or any of their immediate family members; and |
|
|
|
|
a related person transaction generally is a transaction (including any indebtedness or
a guarantee of indebtedness) in which we were or are a participant and the amount involved
exceeds $50,000, and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect
material interest. |
Potential related person transactions must be brought to the attention of the Governance
Committee directly or to the General Counsel for transmission to the Governance Committee.
Disclosure to the Governance Committee should occur before, if possible, or as soon as practicable
after the related person transaction is effected, but in any event as soon as practicable after the
executive officer or director becomes aware of the related person transaction. The Governance
Committees decision whether or not to approve or ratify a related person transaction is to be made
in light of a number of factors, including the following:
|
|
|
whether the terms of the related person transaction are fair to us and on terms at least
as favorable as would apply if the other party was not or did not have an affiliation with
any of our directors, executive officers or five-percent shareholders; |
|
|
|
|
whether there are demonstrable business reasons for us to enter into the related person
transaction; |
|
|
|
|
whether the related person transaction could impair the independence of a director under
the Corporate Governance Principles standards for director independence; and |
|
|
|
|
whether the related person transaction would present an improper conflict of interest
for any of our directors or executive officers, taking into account the size of the
transaction, the overall financial position of the director or executive officer, the
direct or indirect nature of the interest of the director or executive officer in the
transaction, the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship, and any other factors the
Committee deems relevant. |
We had no related person transactions during 2006. To our knowledge, no related person
transactions are currently proposed.

PROPOSAL 1
Election of Certain Directors
Information About Directors
Board Composition
Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws currently provide for a Board of ten members. The
Board is divided into three classes with directors serving three-year terms. The beginning date
for each term is staggered so that, in any particular year, the term of only one class expires.
Vacancies may be filled through appointment by the Board or through election by shareholders at a
special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose. Any director appointed by the Board is
required to stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders or next special meeting
of shareholders called for that purpose. There were no such appointments in 2006.
Directors Attendance
The Board held eight meetings in 2006. In five of those meetings, the independent directors
also met in executive session, without management, Mr. Hogan or Mr. Cathcart present. Charles A.
Haggerty has been appointed by the Board as its Lead Director. Mr. Haggerty acts as its presiding
director for all executive sessions of the non-employee directors. All directors attended at least
75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and all meetings of the Committees on which they
served during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. We expect our directors to attend our
annual meetings of shareholders. All of the directors attended the annual meeting of shareholders
in May 2006.
Director Qualifications
The Governance Committee searches for qualified candidates to be a director, reviews the
qualifications of each candidate and recommends to the Board the names of qualified candidates to
be nominated for election or re-election as directors. The Board reviews the candidates
recommended by the Governance Committee and nominates candidates for election or re-election by the
shareholders. The Governance Committee recognizes that the contribution of the Board will depend
both on the character and capacities of the directors taken individually and on their collective
strengths. With this in mind, the Governance Committee evaluates candidates in light of a number
of criteria. Directors are chosen with a view to bringing to the Board a variety of experience and
backgrounds and establishing a core of business advisers with financial and management expertise.
The Governance Committee also considers candidates who have substantial experience outside the
business community, such as in the public, academic or scientific communities.
When they consider possible candidates for appointment or election as directors, the
Governance Committee and the Board are also guided by the following principles:
|
|
|
each director should be chosen without regard to sex, race, religion or national
origin; |
|
|
|
|
the Corporate Governance Principles and the rules adopted by the SEC and the NYSE
require that at least a majority of the Board consist of independent directors; |
|
|

In 2006, the Governance Committee retained two independent consultants to advise it and to assist
the Committee in recruiting candidates for two vacancies on the Board anticipated as a result of
the pending expiration of the terms of directors Augusto Meozzi and Karen E. Welke. The Committee
solicited the other members of the Board to identify other qualified candidates and to assist in
recruitment of potential nominees. The Committee identified and interviewed a number of candidates
proposed by these firms and by other directors. Both nominees included in the Boards proxy card
were initially recommended by non-management directors.
Shareholder Nominees
Shareholders submitted no candidates for nomination for election
as a director to the Governance Committee in connection with the 2007 Annual Meeting. According to
our By-Laws, a shareholder must give advance notice and furnish certain information in order to
submit a nomination for election as a director. Any shareholder who wishes to present a candidate

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview of Compensation Program
The Compensation Committee (the Committee) of our Board sets and administers the policies
that govern our executive compensation, including:
|
|
|
establishing and reviewing executive base salaries; |
|
|
|
|
overseeing our annual incentive compensation plans; |
|
|
|
|
overseeing our long-term equity-based compensation plan; |
|
|
|
|
approving all bonuses and awards under those plans; and |
|
|
|
|
annually approving and recommending to the Board all compensation decisions for
executive officers, including those for the Chief Executive Officer and the other
officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below (the Named Executive
Officers). |
The Committee seeks to assure that compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers is fair,
reasonable and competitive, and is linked to increasing long-term shareholder value. Only
independent directors serve on the Committee.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program aligns executive
initiatives with shareholders economic interests. The Committee seeks to accomplish this by
rewarding the achievement of specific annual, longer-term and strategic goals that create lasting
shareholder value. The Committee evaluates both executive performance and executive compensation
to attract and retain superior employees in key positions at compensation levels competitive in the
marketplace. To achieve the objectives stated below, the Committee provides executive compensation
packages containing both cash and equity-based compensation components that reward performance as
measured against established goals. The Committees specific objectives include:
|
|
|
to motivate and reward executives for achieving financial and strategic objectives; |
|
|
|
|
to provide rewards commensurate with individual and company performance; |
|
|
|
|
to encourage innovation and growth; |
|
|
|
|
to attract and retain top-quality executives and key employees; and |
|
|
|
|
to align our employee and shareholder interests by encouraging employee stock ownership. |
To balance all these objectives, our executive compensation program uses the following elements:
|
|
|
base salary, to provide a fixed compensation level competitive in the marketplace; |
|
|
|
|
annual incentive compensation plans, to reward short-term performance against
specific financial targets; |
|
|
|
|
long-term equity incentive compensation, to link management incentives to
shareholder return; and |
|
|
|
|
retirement, perquisites and other benefits, to attract and retain management and
other employees over the longer term. |
We discuss each of these components below under the topic 2006 Program Elements on page 14
of this Proxy Statement.
Compensation Committee Practices
The Committee meets regularly to review, discuss and approve executive compensation and
employee benefit plan matters. To ensure it is able to address all of its responsibilities, the
Committee establishes an annual agenda at the beginning of each year. In 2006, the Committee held
five regular meetings and one special meeting. The Committee has scheduled five regular meetings
for 2007.
12
Committee members generally receive written materials one week prior to each regularly
scheduled meeting. In addition to the regularly scheduled meetings, the Committee holds additional
meetings when necessary. At the close of each regularly scheduled Committee meeting, the Committee
conducts an executive session without management present. When appropriate, the Committee also
meets in executive session at the close of special meetings. At the Committees request, Buck
Consultants, the Committees compensation consultant, reviews committee meeting materials and
attends meetings.
In making changes to our compensation programs, the Committee considers external market,
industry and peer company practices. The Committee reviews each element of the executive
compensation program annually for continuing appropriateness and reasonableness. In February each
year, the Committee reviews and approves performance measures and related targets for our annual
incentive program. When reviewing awards, the Committee considers our corporate performance
against our peers for the year and the prior three-year period, as well as our corporate
performance compared to our strategic objectives. The Committee reviews and approves all salary
increases and stock incentive grants for officers in December and for other management employees in
February. The Committee reviews and approves equity grants for newly hired and promoted employees
as required throughout the year. Committee actions relating to executive salary, bonus and
long-term compensation, as well as changes to our compensation programs, are submitted to the full
Board for ratification and approval.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Committee employs a formal rating process to evaluate the Chief Executive Officers
performance. As part of this process, the Committee reviews financial and other relevant data
related to the performance of the Chief Executive Officer at each meeting of the Board throughout
the year. At the end of the year, each independent director provides an evaluation and rating of
the Chief Executive Officers performance in various categories. The Committee Chair submits a
consolidated rating report and the Committees recommendations regarding the Chief Executive
Officers compensation to the independent directors for review and ratification. The Lead Director
chairs a discussion with independent Board members without the Chief Executive Officer present.
From that discussion, the Committee finalizes the Chief Executive Officers performance rating.
The Committee Chair and the Lead Director review the final rating results and commentary with the
Chief Executive Officer. The Committee takes the performance rating and financial data into
account in the Boards adoption of goals and objectives for the Chief Executive Officer for the
following year.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, generally attend
meetings of the Compensation Committee but are not present in executive sessions the Committee
holds nor do they participate in deliberations of their own compensation. With the oversight of
the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, our human resources
group formulates recommendations to the Compensation Committee on matters of compensation
philosophy and design, as well as specific recommendations for executive compensation. The Chief
Executive Officer annually reviews with the Committee the performance of each executive officer
(other than himself) and presents compensation recommendations based on these reviews to the
Committee. The Committee reviews these recommendations with Buck Consultants and exercises its
discretion in adopting or changing compensation proposals for executives other than the Chief
Executive Officer. The Committee recommends compensation proposals for the Chief Executive Officer
to the full Board for its review, discussion and approval.
Setting Executive Compensation
The Committee recognizes the importance of maintaining sound principles for developing and
administering compensation and benefits programs. The Committee seeks to carry out its
responsibilities by:
|
|
|
holding executive sessions (without management present) at every regular Committee
meeting; |
|
|
|
|
retaining Buck Consultants, an external compensation consultant, to advise on executive
compensation issues; |
|
|
|
|
requiring clear communication of compensation policy and actions to employees and the shareholders; |
|
|
|
|
annually reviewing detailed tally sheets of executive compensation for all executive officers; and |
|
|
|
|
establishing appropriate guidelines for executive change-in-control agreements. |
13
In the fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006, the Committee initiated a
comprehensive review of our executive compensation programs. As a result of this review, the
Committee adjusted the executive base pay structure and long-term incentive programs to more
closely align pay for performance and current market practices.
Comparative Framework
In making its recommendations to the Board concerning executive officer compensation, the
Committee annually reviews and evaluates our corporate performance and our executive officers
compensation and equity ownership. The Committee also obtains and reviews comparative data from
Buck Consultants and a number of third-party sources, including proxy statements, publicly
available information and surveys by consulting firms.
The Committee uses external competitive benchmarks that it believes support the guiding
principles outlined above for each element of compensation. For 2006, the market for assessing
compensation was defined as companies with revenue comparable to ours (revenues of approximately $1
billion $6 billion), publicly traded, headquartered in the U.S., and engaged in one or more
manufacturing sectors (the Comparator Group). The Committee identified these companies as our
Comparator Group based upon the analysis and recommendations of Buck Consultants. The Comparator
Group consisted of business competitors, similarly structured broadly diversified organizations,
and competitors for executive talent: American Standard, Inc., Amphenol Corporation, Flowserve
Corporation, Cooper Industries LTD, Crane Company, Danaher Corporation, Donaldson Corporation,
Inc., Dover Corporation, Eaton Corporation, Hubbell Inc., ITT Industries, Inc., Jacuzzi Brands,
Pall Corporation, Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Rockwell Automation, Inc., A.O. Smith Corporation,
SPX Corporation, Thomas & Betts Corporation.
2006 Program Elements
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the principal components of compensation for
Named Executive Officers were:
|
|
|
Base salary; |
|
|
|
|
Annual incentive compensation plans; |
|
|
|
|
Long-term equity incentive compensation; |
|
|
|
|
Retirement and other benefits; and |
|
|
|
|
Perquisites and other personal benefits. |
Base Salaries
We provide Named Executive Officers and other employees with a fixed salary. Focusing on the
market value of each job, the Committees goal is to target the 50th percentile (the
Midpoint) of the Comparator Group for executives base salary ranges. The Committee developed
salary ranges for each Named Executive Officer. The Midpoint of the range is set at the
50th percentile of the market data. Market data include published survey data and proxy
data for our Comparator Group. Based on various factors, including individual performance,
experience and level of responsibility, an executives salary is established within a range of 20%
of the Midpoint. The Committee determined the Named Executive Officers salaries for 2006 in
accordance with the Committees guideline of establishing base salary at approximately the 50th
percentile of our Comparator Group.
Annual Incentive Compensation Plan
To balance the objective of providing competitive compensation to attract top talent with the
objective of linking pay to annual performance, we pay a portion of our executives cash
compensation as a bonus tied to annual business performance as measured by year over year
improvement. We pay cash bonuses under one of two annual incentive plans, the Executive Officer
Performance Plan (EOPP) and the Management Incentive Plan (MIP). The Committee has the sole
discretion to determine in which plan eligible employees participate. For 2006, the only
participants in the EOPP were our executive officers; other management personnel participated in
the MIP.
14
For each EOPP participant, the Committee determined a percentage of that executives base
salary as a targeted level of bonus opportunity. An executives base salary times the bonus
opportunity percentage establishes the target bonus for which he or she is eligible. The target bonuses for the Named Executive
Officers for 2006 were as follows:

Mr. Schrocks bonus opportunity was raised from 70% to 100% following his promotion to
President and Chief Operating Officer in September 2006. |
Actual bonuses awarded to each Named Executive Officer may range from 0 to 2 times the target,
depending on company performance, as described below. The Committee approves business goals
(described below) for each year and sets each executives bonus opportunity so that if we attain
targeted year over year overall or division-level performance goals, annual cash incentive levels
will be between the 50th and 75th percentiles of our Comparator Group. If we
attain superior performance levels, cash incentive compensation will exceed the 75th
percentile of the Comparator Group; if we do not attain any of the targeted performance goals, cash
incentive compensation will be between 0 and the 50th percentile of our Comparator
Group.
In February 2006, the Committee established the performance goals for 2006 for both the EOPP
and the more broadly-based MIP plans, which the Board then ratified. The EOPP performance goals
consisted of four quantitative measures:
|
|
|
Organic revenue growth, which means the increase in net sales compared to 2005
but excluding the effect of acquisitions and divestitures; |
|
|
|
|
Free cash flow conversion rate, which means the percentage of net income that is
converted into free cash flow. Free cash flow means cash from operating
activities less capital expenditures, including both continuing and discontinued
operations, plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment; |
|
|
|
|
ROIC, which means return on invested capital, calculated on a pre-tax basis; |
|
|
|
|
Increase in earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA),
which means the increase in EBITDA compared to 2005. |
The performance measures are weighted as follows: organic revenue growth: 25%; free cash
flow conversion rate: 25%; ROIC: 30%; and EBITDA: 20%. The targets for these measures are based
on corporate performance measures for all Named Executive Officers other than Michael Schrock,
whose measures were based on a combination of our filtration and technical products businesses
performance. For EBITDA, the Committee established a minimum performance target of 2.0% above 2005
actual results. The Committee established minimum performance targets for each of the other
measures for Pentair as a whole and for each business at levels greater than or equal to 2005
actual results. The Committee also established higher performance target levels to provide added
performance incentive.
The actual bonus is determined by multiplying the eligible bonus amount by the multiplier
determined as noted above based on corporate performance in 2006 against the targets set. Under
the EOPP, the Committee does not have the discretion to pay participants more than the bonus amount
calculated according to these pre-established goals.
Our Chief Executive Officer and each EOPP participant together establish individual
performance goals for the year, which are then submitted to the Committee for approval. The
Committee and the Chief Executive Officer establish the Chief Executive Officers individual goals.
The Committee uses those individual goals, along with other factors in its judgment, to determine
whether to reduce the amount the participant would otherwise receive under the EOPP.
15
We pay EOPP awards in cash following the final audit of the years performance and the
approval of the Committee and the Board. In February 2007, the Committee certified performance
against 2006 goals. For 2006, as applied to Randall Hogan, David Harrison, Richard Cathcart and
Louis Ainsworth, the ROIC and EBITDA measures were not met, the revenue growth measure was met at
the minimum level and the free cash flow conversion measure was met. This resulted in a reduction
of the bonus opportunity to approximately one-third of the target. As applied to Michael Schrock,
the revenue growth and ROIC measures were exceeded in the technical products business but not met
in filtration; the free cash flow conversion measure was exceeded in filtration and met in
technical products, resulting in a reduction of the bonus opportunity to approximately 70% of the
target. The awards paid based on 2006 performance are included in the Summary Compensation Table,
column (g) Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation on page 24.
The following table shows the actual salary and bonuses earned by the Named Executive Officers
for 2004, 2005 and 2006:

In February 2007, the Committee established the EOPP performance goals for 2007, which the
Board has ratified. For 2007, all Named Executive Officers are participants in the EOPP.
The Committee uses a similar model to determine annual incentive bonuses for participants in
the MIP plan using performance factors that relate to the performance of the participants business
unit. MIP bonus opportunity targets are lower than those under the EOPP.
Long-term Equity Incentive Compensation
The Committee emphasizes executive compensation that is tied to building and sustaining our
companys value through stock performance over time. We provide equity-based compensation to our
executives to further the objectives of:
|
|
|
motivating and rewarding executives through share price appreciation; |
|
|
|
|
encouraging innovation and growth; and |
|
|

aligning management and shareholder interests. |
In keeping with this philosophy, the Committee sets target opportunities under the long-term
incentive program to fall between the 50th and 75th percentiles of ongoing
long-term incentive values granted in the market, which includes both published survey data and
data from our Comparator Group. If we build and sustain long-term shareholder value through superior performance, ongoing long-term incentive values will exceed
the 75th percentile of our Comparator Group.
16
The Committee awards long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and
restricted stock. Each year, the Committee uses benchmark data (including compensation surveys,
Comparator Group information and other data provided by Buck Consultants) to set competitive target
dollar award levels for each position or grade level. Individual awards generally range between 80
and 120 percent of target award level, with actual award amounts determined by individual
performance and company performance against strategic plan.
Awards consist of both stock options and restricted stock, with the relative weighting
determined by position. Awards to Named Executive Officers and other key executives were delivered
as a mix of approximately two-thirds of their total award value in stock options and one-third in
restricted stock. The Committee determines the value of options using the Black-Scholes valuation
method. The number of restricted shares is derived from the fair market value of the stock. To
provide a cap on the actual number of stock options and restricted shares granted for the year, the
Committee establishes a total target dollar value of all awards to establish a fixed pool of shares
and options to be distributed among all executives.
Options vest one-third in each year on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the date of
grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. The restricted shares vest in one-third
increments, on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant with respect to
grants made before 2003 and in one-half increments on the third and fourth anniversaries of the
date of grant with respect to grants made in 2003 or later. The value of restricted stock and
options granted to the Named Executive Officers in 2006 is reflected in the Grants of Plan-Based
Awards Table on page 26. The value of restricted stock that vested for each Named Executive
Officer in 2006 (reflecting grants made to them in 2001, 2002 and 2003) and the value of options
exercised by each Named Executive Officer in 2006 are shown in the Option Exercises and Stock
Vested Table on page 30.
The Committee reviews and approves all stock option and restricted stock grants for executive
officers in December of each year. These grants are effective on the first business day on which
the stock market is open following January 1st. For all other recipients, the Committee
reviews and approves grants in February, to be effective March 1st or the first business
day on which the stock market is open following March 1st. The Committee reviews and
approves all equity awards to newly hired or promoted executives at regular meetings throughout the
year. As a rule, the Committee grants awards to newly hired or promoted executives effective the
later of the 15th day of the month following the date of hire or the 15th day
of the month following the date of the Committee meeting. The Committee has also given the
Committee Chair and the Chief Executive Officer discretion to grant equity awards to newly hired or
promoted executives as required throughout the year, within the guidelines of the long-term
incentive plan. The Committee then ratifies these grants at its next meeting. All options are
granted at fair market value based on the closing stock price on the effective day of grant.
Prior to 2006, certain option awards made by the Committee contained a reload feature. This
feature allows an optionee who exercises an option during the first five years of the option term
by tendering Common Stock to receive an option (a Reload Option) to purchase a number of shares
of our Common Stock equal to the number of tendered shares. The optionee may exercise such Reload
Options during the remaining term of the original stock option period at an exercise price that is
equal to the market price per share on the date of exercise of the original option.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Committee and the Board have established stock ownership guidelines for the Named
Executive Officers and other executives to motivate them to become significant shareholders and to
further encourage long-term performance and growth. Stock ownership is defined to include stock
owned by the officer both directly and indirectly. The Committee determined that, over a period of
five years from appointment, key employees should accumulate and hold common stock equal to a
multiple of base salary as follows:
17

The Committee monitors compliance with these stock ownership guidelines. In addition, the
Committee grants awards of restricted stock to personnel who increase their share ownership above
targeted levels. These grants (made under our Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan) vest in one-half
increments on the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant. The size of the grant is equal to
10% of the increase in Common Stock owned by the individual during the year if the annual ownership
target is met, but limited to 10% of the annual ownership target if the targeted ownership level
had already been achieved. For 2006, restricted share awards of 2,072 shares of Common Stock were
granted under these guidelines to six key employees. These awards included a restricted share
award of 203 shares of Common Stock to Louis L. Ainsworth as reflected on the Grants of Plan-Based
Awards table on page 26.

been satisfied. |
Retirement and Other Benefits
The Named Executive Officers and other executives and employees participate in the Pentair,
Inc. Pension Plan, Retirement Savings Plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement and Restoration
Plan. We also provide other benefits such as medical, dental and life insurance and disability
coverage to employees, including the Named Executive Officers. We try to provide employee and
executive benefits at levels that reflect competitive market levels at the 50th
percentile of similar benefits given by our Comparator Group.
The Pentair, Inc. Pension Plan
The Pentair, Inc. Pension Plan (the Pension Plan) is a funded, tax-qualified,
noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan that covers certain employees, including the Named
Executive Officers. Benefits under the Pension Plan are based upon an employees years of service
and highest average earnings in any five-year period during the ten-year period preceding the
employees retirement (or, in the case of an employee with more than five years but less than ten
years of service, during any five-year period preceding the employees retirement). Benefits under
the Pension Plan are payable after retirement in the form of either an annuity or a lump sum.
Compensation covered by the Pension Plan for the Named Executive Officers equals the amounts set
forth in the 2006 Salary column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 24 and 2005 bonuses
paid in March 2006 (which are reflected in our Proxy Statement dated March 15, 2006). The amount of annual earnings that may be
considered in calculating benefits under the Pension Plan is limited by law. For 2006, the annual
limitation was $225,000.
18
Benefits under the Pension Plan are calculated as an annuity equal to the sum of:
|
|
|
1.0 percent of the participants highest final average earnings multiplied by years of
service; and |
|
|
|
|
0.5 percent of such earnings in excess of Primary Social Security compensation. |
Years of service under these formulas cannot exceed 35. Contributions to the Pension Plan
are made entirely by us and are paid into a trust fund from which the benefits for all
participants will be paid.
The Pentair Supplemental Executive Retirement and Restoration Plan
The Pentair Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and the Pentair Restoration Plan
(Restoration Plan) are unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for all executive
officers and other key executives selected by the Committee. Benefits under these two Plans vest
upon the completion of five years of benefit service (all service following initial participation).
These Plans are combined for all administrative, accounting and other purposes. The Named
Executive Officers all participate and are vested in the SERP and the Restoration Plan.
Benefits under the SERP are based upon the number of an employees years of service following
initial participation and the highest average earnings for a five calendar-year period (ending with
retirement). Benefits are payable after retirement in the form of either a 15-year certain annuity
or joint and survivor annuity. Compensation covered by the SERP and the Restoration Plan for the
Named Executive Officers equals the amounts set forth in the 2006 Salary and Non-Equity
Incentive Plan Compensation columns of the Summary Compensation Table on page 24.
Benefits under the SERP are calculated as:
|
|
|
final average compensation as defined above; multiplied by |
|
|
|
|
benefit service percentage, which equals 15% times years of benefit service; |
The resulting lump-sum value is converted into the form of annuity selected by the
participant.
The Restoration Plan is designed to provide retirement benefits based on compensation earned
by participants in excess of the annual limitation. As discussed above, the Pension Plan limits
retirement benefits for compensation earned in excess of the applicable limitation in any year.
For 2006, this annual limitation was $225,000.
The only participants in the Restoration Plan are those executive officers and other selected
key leaders who participate in the SERP. Restoration Plan benefits are combined and administered
with those payable under the SERP and are paid in the same manner and at the same time.
Benefits under the Restoration Plan are calculated as:
|
|
|
final average compensation as defined above, less compensation below the annual
limitation amount in each year; multiplied by |
|
|
|
|
earned benefit service percentage (which is weighted based on age at the time of
service), in accordance with the following table: |
19

45 54 |
|
|
9 |

|
|
12 |
% |
The benefit percentages calculated above are added and the resulting percentage is
multiplied by the covered compensation amount. The resulting lump-sum value is converted
into the form of annuity selected by the participant under the SERP.
The present value of the combined accumulated benefits for the Named Executive Officers under
both the SERP and the Restoration Plan is set forth in the Pension Benefits Table on page 30.
The Pentair Retirement Savings and Stock Incentive Plan
The Pentair Retirement Savings and Stock Incentive Plan (RSIP/ESOP Plan) is a tax-qualified
401(k) retirement savings plan, with a companion Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) component.
Participating employees may contribute up to 50 percent of base salary and bonus on a before-tax
basis and 15 percent of compensation on an after-tax basis, into their 401(k) plan (RSIP). We
match an amount equal to 50 cents for each dollar contributed to the RSIP by participating
employees on the first five percent of their regular earnings. In addition, we contribute to the
ESOP an amount equal to 1 1/2 % of cash compensation (salary and bonus) for each participant in the
RSIP, to incentivize employees to make contributions to our retirement plan. The RSIP/ESOP Plan
limits the amount of cash compensation considered for contribution purposes to the maximum imposed
by Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17), which was $220,000 in 2006.
Participants in the RSIP/ESOP Plan are allowed to invest their account balances in a number of
possible mutual fund investments. Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Co. provides these
investment vehicles for participants and handles all allocation and accounting services for the
Plan. We do not guarantee or subsidize any investment earnings under the Plan. We make ESOP
contributions in our Common Stock. However, participants may sell and immediately reinvest stock
contributions within the RSIP/ESOP Plan in other investment vehicles offered under the RSIP/ESOP
Plan.
Amounts deferred, if any, under the Pentair RSIP/ESOP Plan by the Named Executive Officers are
included in the Salary and Non-Equity Incentive Compensation columns of the Summary
Compensation Table on page 24. Pentair matching contributions allocated to the Named Executive
Officers under the RSIP/ESOP Plan are included in the All Other Compensation column of the
Summary Compensation Table.
Medical, Dental, Life Insurance and Disability Coverage
Employee benefits such as medical, dental, life insurance and disability coverage are
available to all U.S.-based participants through our active employee plans. In addition to these
benefits to active employees, we provide post-retirement medical, dental and life insurance
coverage to certain retirees in accordance with the legacy company plans which applied at the time
the employees were hired. We provide up to one and a half times annual salary (up to $2,000,000)
in life insurance, and up to $10,000 per month in long-term disability coverage. The cost of the
active employee and post-retirement company-provided benefits in 2006 for the Named Executive
Officers was as follows:

The value of these benefits is not required to be included in the Summary Compensation Table since
they are made available to all of our U.S. salaried employees.
Other Paid Time-Off Benefits
We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including the Named
Executive Officers, which are comparable to those provided at other large companies.
Deferred Compensation
We sponsor a non-qualified deferred compensation program, called the Sidekick Plan, for our
U.S. executives within or above the pay grade that has a median annual salary of $104,500 in 2006
and $107,600 in 2007. This plan permits executives to defer up to 25% of their base salary and
100% of their annual cash incentive bonus. We make contributions to the Sidekick Plan on behalf of
participants similar to our contributions under the RSIP/ESOP Plan with respect to each
participants contributions from that portion of his or her income above the maximum imposed by
Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17), which was $220,000 in 2006, but below the Sidekick Plans
compensation limit of $700,000.
Participants in the RSIP/ESOP Plan and the Sidekick Plan are allowed to invest their account
balances in a number of possible mutual fund investments. Fidelity Investments Institutional
Services Co. provides these investment vehicles for participants and handles all allocation and
accounting services for these Plans. We do not guarantee or subsidize any investment earnings
under either Plan.
Amounts deferred, if any, under the Sidekick Plan by the Named Executive Officers are included
in the Salary and Non-Equity Incentive Compensation columns of the Summary Compensation Table
on page 24. Our contributions allocated to the Named Executive Officers under the Sidekick Plan
are included in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
We provide Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that
management and the Committee believe are customary, reasonable and consistent with our overall
compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key
positions. The Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal
benefits provided to Named Executive Officers.
For 2006, we offered a perquisite program (the Pentair, Inc. Flexible Perquisite Program or
the Flex Perq Program) designed to provide corporate officers and other key executives with an
expense allowance for certain personal and business-related benefits. The following types of
expenses were eligible for reimbursement under the Flex Perq Program:
|
|
|
the cost of a leased automobile; |
|
|
|
|
initiation fees, annual fees, and dues for an individual membership in a business,
country, or health club; |
|
|
|
|
tax planning and preparation; |
|
|
|
|
estate tax planning; |
|
|
|
|
financial consulting and planning; |
|
|
|
|
additional disability insurance above the amount provided under our Long-Term
Disability Plan; and |
|
|
|
|
computer hardware and software purchases. |
For 2006, the total aggregate annual allowance under the Flex Perq Program for all of the
above types of expenses was $25,000 for the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice Chairman and the
President and Chief Operating Officer and $20,000 for all other participants. In addition to the
allowance provided under the Flex Perq Program, we provided the Named Executive Officers with:
|
|
|
reimbursement for costs associated with gas, maintenance, insurance associated with
the leased automobile and personal use of the leased automobile; |
21
|
|
|
reimbursement for travel and related expenses for spouses of the Named Executive
Officers to attend one out-of-town board meeting; |
|
|
|
|
reimbursement for annual executive physicals for three Named Executive Officers; and |
|
|
|
|
imputed value resulting from the purchase of a company vehicle in connection with
the dissolution of the company-leased vehicle program for three Named Executive
Officers. |
These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table, in the column labeled All Other
Compensation, on page 24 and are set forth in more detail in footnote 5 to that table.
For 2007, the Flex Perq Program has been modified to eliminate the leased automobile program
(including termination of the lease, elimination of company-provided insurance, and elimination of
maintenance and fuel for the auto). The Committee increased the annual allowance for 2007 to
$35,000 for the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice Chairman and the Chief Operating Officer, and
$30,000 for all other Named Executive Officers.
Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits
We provide the following severance and change-in-control benefits to certain of our executives
to provide for continuity of management upon a change in control and to attract and retain key
employees:
|
|
|
We have entered into agreements with our key corporate executives and other key
leaders (including all Named Executive Officers) that provide for contingent benefits
upon a change in control. |
|
|
|
|
The EOPP provides that, upon a change in control, each EOPP participant is entitled
to receive any outstanding and unpaid award for the year before the change of control
as well as an award for the then-current year calculated on the basis of the
executives base salary immediately before the change of control and assuming that the
years EOPP targets have been attained. |
|
|
|
|
The Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan provides that, upon a change in control, all
outstanding options granted under the Plan that are unvested become fully vested. |
|
|
|
|
The Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan provides that, upon a change in control, all
restrictions applicable to outstanding shares of restricted stock granted under the
Plan shall automatically lapse and any dividends declared but unpaid with respect to
such restricted stock shall be paid to the executive within ten days of the date of the
change of control. |
|
|
|
|
Upon certain types of terminations of employment (other than a termination following
a change in control), severance benefits may be paid to the Named Executive Officers at
the discretion of the Committee. |
|
|
|
|
We have an Employment Agreement with Richard J. Cathcart, our Vice Chairman, which
provides certain severance benefits. |
We explain these benefits more fully under Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change In
Control on page 32.
Retention Agreements
Michael Schrock, President and Chief Operating Officer, has entered into a Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement with us that requires Mr. Schrock to devote his full-time and energy to
furthering our business and which prohibits Mr. Schrock, during or after his term of employment,
from disclosing or using for his own benefit or the benefit of another confidential information
that he may learn or acquire during his employment. The Confidentiality and Non-Competition
Agreement also contains a covenant against competition by Mr. Schrock for two years following his
last day of employment with us. It does not contain severance provisions.
Karen Durant, Senior Vice President, Finance and Analysis, has entered into a Confidentiality
and Non-Competition Agreement with us that requires Ms. Durant to devote her full-time energy to
furthering our business and which prohibits Ms. Durant, during or after her term of employment,
from disclosing or using for her own benefit or the benefit of another, confidential information
that she may learn or acquire during her employment. The Confidentiality and Non-Competition
Agreement also contains a covenant against competition by Ms. Durant for two years following her
last day of employment with us. It does not contain severance provisions.
22
Tax Deductibility of Pay
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of
compensation that we may deduct in any one year with respect to each of our five most highly paid
executive officers. There is an exception to the $1,000,000 limitation for performance-based
compensation meeting certain requirements. Annual cash incentive compensation and equity awards
generally are performance-based compensation meeting those requirements and, as such, are fully
deductible. To maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to
promote varying corporate goals, the Committee has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation
to be deductible.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis
set forth above with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation
Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in
this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006.

The Compensation Committee practices for granting options and
restricted stock, including the timing of all grants and approvals
therefor, are described under the caption Long-Term Equity
Incentive Compensation on pages 16 and 17. |
|
(2) |
|
The amounts shown in column (d) reflect the minimum payment level
under our Executive Officer Performance Plan (EOPP) which is 0% of the
target amount shown in column (e). The amount shown in column (f) is
200% of such target amount. These amounts are based on the
individuals current salary and position. |
|
(3) |
|
The amounts shown in column (j) reflect the number of shares of
restricted stock granted to each Named Executive Officer pursuant to
the Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. |
|
(4) |
|
The amounts shown in column (k) reflect the number of options to
purchase Common Stock granted to each Named Executive Officer pursuant
to the Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. |
|
(5) |
|
The amounts shown in column (m) reflect the grant date fair value of
the awards of restricted stock and stock options calculated in
accordance with FAS 123(R). |
|
(6) |
|
With respect to the grants indicated above, the Committee previously
approved an option award with a reload feature that allowed the
optionee, upon the exercise of qualifying options, to receive a grant
|
26
|
|
|
|
|
automatically on the corresponding grant date set forth in column (b).
We explain this reload feature more fully under Long-term Equity
Incentive Compensation on page 17. As of December 2005, we no longer
grant options with a reload feature to our executives. |

The exercise price for all stock option grants is the fair market value of our
Common Stock on the date of grant. |
|
(2) |
|
For restricted stock awards before 2003, the restrictions with respect to one-third of
the shares will lapse on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant
date. For restricted stock awards in 2003 or thereafter, the restrictions with respect to
50% of the shares will lapse on the third anniversary of the grant date and the
restrictions on the remaining 50% of the shares will lapse on the fourth anniversary of the
grant date. For the restricted stock award of 61,275 shares to Michael V. Schrock, 100%
of the restrictions lapse on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. |

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Benefits, which include amounts under the
Restoration Plan, are payable at age 55 or later in the form of an annuity. The actuarial
present values above were calculated using the following methods and assumptions: |
|
|
|
Pension Plan present values were based on the accrued benefit payable at age 65 and
were calculated as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Present values for the Pension Plan are based on a life-only annuity. Present
values for the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan are based on a 180-month-certain
only annuity. |
30
|
|
|
The present value of Pension Plan benefits as of December 31, 2005 was calculated
assuming a 5.75% interest rate. The male 1994 Group Annuity Reserve mortality table
was used for post-retirement decrements; no pre-retirement mortality was used. |
|
|
|
|
The present value of Pension Plan benefits as of December 31, 2006 was calculated
assuming a 6.00% interest rate and the male RP2000 mortality table, projected 15 years. |
|
|
|
|
The present value of Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan benefits was calculated
assuming a 5.75% interest rate as of December 31, 2005 and a 6.00% interest rate as of
December 31, 2006. |
The actual amount of pension benefits ultimately paid to a Named Executive Officer may vary
based on a number of factors, including differences from the assumptions used to calculate the
amounts.
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION TABLE
The following table sets forth the contributions, earnings, distributions and year-end
balances for each of the Named Executive Officers under our Sidekick Plan described under Deferred
Compensation on page 21. Contributions we make to the Sidekick Plan are intended to make up for
contributions to our RSIP/ESOP Plan (including our matching contributions) for cash compensation
above the maximum imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17), which was $220,000 in 2006.
Because the Internal Revenue Code does not permit contributions on amounts in excess of that limit
under a tax-qualified plan, the Sidekick Plan is designed to permit matching contributions on
compensation in excess of the maximum imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17). We make
these matching contributions to the Sidekick Plan on amounts in excess of the maximum imposed by
Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17), but below the $700,000 compensation limit contained in
our Sidekick Plan (such contributions, Covered Sidekick Compensation).

The amounts set forth in the column Executive Contributions in 2006 reflect the amount of
cash compensation each Named Executive Officer deferred in 2006 under the Sidekick Plan.
The amounts set forth in the column Registrant Contributions in 2006 are the totals of
contributions we made in 2006 for the account of each Named Executive Officer. These amounts are
included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 24 in the column labeled All Other
Compensation. The contributions we made are derived from some or all of the following sources:
|
|
|
Matching contributions equal to 50 cents for each dollar up to five percent of
Covered Sidekick Compensation deferred in 2005 by each Named Executive Officer; we
normally make these contributions one year in arrears. |
|
|
|
|
Matching contributions equal to 50 cents for each dollar up to five percent of
Covered Sidekick Compensation deferred in 2004 by each Named Executive Officer; we
made this corrective contribution one year late due to our failure to timely make
the contribution in 2005. |
|
|
|
|
A contribution of 1 1/2 % of Covered Sidekick Compensation earned in 2005 for
each Named Executive Officer; we normally make these contributions one year in
arrears. |
|
|
|
|
A contribution of 1 1/2 % of Covered Sidekick Compensation earned in 2004 for
each Named Executive Officer; we made this corrective contribution one year late
due to our failure to timely make the contribution in 2005. |
31
The amounts set forth in the column Aggregate Earnings in 2006 reflect the amount of
investment earnings realized by each Named Executive Officer on the mutual fund investments chosen
that are offered to participants in our RSIP/ESOP Plan and Sidekick Plan. Fidelity Investments
Institutional Services Co. provides these investment vehicles for participants and handles all
allocation and accounting services for these plans. We do not guarantee or subsidize any
investment earnings in either Plan.
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
Except for the following items, we have no agreements, arrangements, or plans that entitle
executive officers to severance, perquisites, or other enhanced benefits upon termination of their
employment; such payments or benefits (other than following a change in control) would be in the
discretion of the Compensation Committee.
|
|
|
Restricted stock vesting: Restriction periods on grants of restricted stock
automatically lapse upon the retirement of a Named Executive Officer who has also
attained 10 years of service and age 55. The value of such restricted stock is
reflected in the Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2006 table above. As of
December 31, 2006, Mr. Cathcart and Mr. Harrison were the only Named Executive Officers
who had attained 10 years of service and age 55. |
|
|
|
|
Stock option vesting: Upon the retirement of a Named Executive Officer who has also
attained 10 years of service and age 55, unvested options continue to vest according to
the schedule in effect prior to retirement and, once vested, remain exercisable until
earlier of expiration or the five-year anniversary of the Named Executive Officers
retirement date. All such options are reflected in the Stock Option Vesting column
of the table under the heading Quantification of Compensation Payable upon Change in
Control below. As of December 31, 2006, Mr. Cathcart and Mr. Harrison were the only
Named Executive Officers who had attained 10 years of service and age 55. |
|
|
|
|
Certain benefits upon a change in control described under the heading Change in
Control Agreements below. |
|
|
|
|
Certain payments under an employment agreement with Mr. Cathcart as described under
the heading Employment Severance Agreement below. |
Change in Control Agreements
We have entered into agreements with our key corporate executives and business division
leaders (including all Named Executive Officers) that provide for contingent benefits upon a change
in control. These agreements are intended to provide for continuity of management upon a change in
control. The agreements provide that covered executive officers could be entitled to certain
severance benefits following a change in control. If, following such a change in control, the
executive officer is involuntarily terminated for any reason, other than for disability or for
cause, or if such executive officer terminates his or her employment for good reason, then the
executive officer is entitled to certain severance payments.
Under these agreements, a change in control is deemed to have occurred if:
|
|
|
any person is or becomes the beneficial owner of securities representing 20% or more of
our outstanding shares of common stock or combined voting power; |
|
|
|
|
a majority of our board of directors changes in a manner that has not been approved by
at least two-thirds of the incumbent directors or successor directors nominated by at least
two-thirds of the incumbent directors; |
|
|
|
|
we consummate a merger, consolidation or share exchange with any other entity (or the
issuance of voting securities in connection with a merger, consolidation or share exchange)
which our shareholders have approved and in which our shareholders control less than 50% of
combined voting power after the merger, consolidation or share exchange; or |
|
|
|
|
we consummate a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution or an agreement for the sale
or disposition by of all or substantially all of our assets which our shareholders have
approved. |
32
Under these agreements, the term cause means:
|
|
|
engaging in intentional conduct that causes us demonstrable and serious financial injury; |
|
|
|
|
conviction of a felony; or |
|
|
|
|
continuing willful and unreasonable refusal by an officer to perform his or her duties
or responsibilities. |
Under these agreements, the term good reason means:
|
|
|
a breach of the agreement by us; |
|
|
|
|
any reduction in an officers base salary, percentage of base salary available as
incentive compensation or bonus opportunity or benefits; |
|
|
|
|
an officers removal from, or any failure to reelect or reappoint him or her to serve
in, any of the positions held with us on the date of the change in control or any other
positions to which he is thereafter elected, appointed or assigned, except in the event
that such removal or failure to reelect or reappoint relates to our termination of an
officers employment for cause or by reason of disability; |
|
|
|
|
a good faith determination by an officer that there has been a material adverse change
in his or her working conditions or status relative to the most favorable working
conditions or status in effect during the 180-day period prior to the change in control,
or, to the extent more favorable to him or her, those in effect at any time while employed
after the change in control, including but not limited to a significant change in the
nature or scope of his or her authority, powers, functions, duties or responsibilities or a
significant reduction in the level of support services, staff, secretarial and other
assistance, office space and accoutrements, but in each case excluding for this purpose an
isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent event not occurring in bad faith that we remedy
within ten days after receipt of notice thereof; |
|
|
|
|
relocation of an officers principal place of employment to a location more than 35
miles from his or her principal place of employment on the date 180 days prior to the
change in control; |
|
|
|
|
imposition of a requirement that an officer travel on business 20% in excess of the
average number of days per month he was required to travel during the 180-day period prior
to the change in control; |
|
|
|
|
our failure to cause a successor to assume an officers agreement; or |
|
|
|
|
only in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, a voluntary termination for any reason
within 30 days following the first anniversary of any change of control. |
The benefits under these agreements include:
|
|
|
upon any change in control: |
|
|
|
bonus awards for the year in question to be paid at target under the MIP or, in the
case of the Named Executive Officers, under the EOPP (1); |
|
|
|
|
immediate vesting of all unvested stock options and termination of all restrictions
on shares issued under the Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, without regard to the Plans
forfeiture provisions (1); |
|
|
|
|
reimbursement of any excise taxes triggered by payments to the executive; and |
|
(1) |
Benefits pursuant to these compensation plans are also
applicable to all other participants. |
|
|
|
upon termination of the executive by us other than for death, disability or cause or by
the executive for good reason, after a change in control: |
|
|
|
severance payable upon termination in an amount equal to 300% (for the Chief
Executive Officer) or 250% (for our other executive officers and other key leaders) of
annual base salary plus the greater of the executives target bonus for the year in
question or bonus received in the prior year; |
|
|
|
|
replacement coverage for company-provided group medical, dental and life insurance
policies for up to three years; |
|
|
|
|
the cost of an executive search agency not to exceed 10% of the executives annual
base salary; |
|
|
|
|
the accelerated accrual and vesting of benefits under the SERP (for those executives
who have been made participants of such plan); and |
|
|
|
|
up to $15,000 in fees and expenses of consultants and legal or accounting advisors. |
In the case of each Named Executive Officer, the agreement also requires the executive to
devote his or her best efforts to us or our successor during the three-year period, to maintain the
confidentiality of our information during and following employment and to refrain from competitive activities for a period of one year
following termination of employment with us or our successor.
33
Change in Control Provisions of Incentive Plans
The EOPP also contains provisions that apply in the event of a change in control. For the
year in which a change in control occurs, awards for such year are determined by using the
participants annual base salary as in effect immediately before the change in control and by
assuming the performance goals for that year have been attained at target levels. Such awards must
be paid to the participant within 10 days of the change in control. In addition, certain
requirements are modified or eliminated, including the requirement that a participant remain
employed through the end of the applicable incentive period, completion of an annual audit, review
and approval by the Compensation Committee. The EOPP also includes a provision that eliminates the
Compensation Committees discretion to reduce awards.
The Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan provides that, upon a change in control:
|
|
|
all outstanding options granted under the Plan that are unvested become fully vested; and |
|
|
|
|
all restrictions applicable to outstanding shares of restricted stock granted under
the Plan shall automatically lapse and any dividends declared but unpaid with respect
to such restricted stock shall be paid to the executive within ten days of the date of
the change of control. |
Quantification of Compensation Payable upon Change in Control
The amount of compensation payable to each Named Executive Officer upon a change of control
and termination of the executive by us other than for death, disability or cause or by the
executive for good reason after a change in control is shown below. The amounts shown assume that
such termination was effective as of December 31, 2006, and thus are estimates of the amounts that
would be paid out to the executives upon a change in control or their termination following a
change in control. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such
change in control or executives separation.

Triggered solely upon a change of control. |
The amounts above assume that:
|

|
our Common Stock was valued at $31.40, the closing market price for our Common Stock on
December 29, 2006 (the last day the NYSE was open for trading during our most recently
completed fiscal year); |
|
|
|
|
for purposes of determining whether any excise tax is triggered, we would be able to
overcome any presumption that stock option and restricted stock grants in 2006 were made in
contemplation of a change in control pursuant to regulations promulgated under Internal
Revenue Code; |
34
|
|
|
outplacement services and legal and accounting advisor fees are the maximum possible
under the change in control agreements for each executive officer, except for Mr. Hogan,
for which outplacement services are assumed to be $50,000; and |

medical, dental and life insurance coverage will continue for three years after
termination at the current cost per year for each executive. |
Under these assumptions, upon any change in control or termination, there would have been no
enhanced payments to any Named Executive Officers under the SERP, the Restoration Plan or the
Pension Plan, nor would any Named Executive Officer have been entitled to any excise tax gross-up.
Employment Severance Agreement
We entered into an Employment Agreement with Richard J. Cathcart, our Vice Chairman, in 2001.
The Employment Agreement provides that if Mr. Cathcarts employment is terminated at any time prior
to his normal retirement date (as determined under the primary defined benefit pension plan
applicable to Mr. Cathcart), then Mr. Cathcart is entitled to receive certain severance benefits
unless he is terminated due to intentional misconduct, felony conviction or willful and
unreasonable refusal to perform his duties and responsibilities. At age 62, but prior to age 63,
he is entitled to an amount equal to his annual cash compensation (assuming a termination date of
December 31, 2006, this amount would have been $495,000), and from age 63 on there is no cash
payment amount. The amount of this payment is subject to reduction if the average performance of
the Water Technologies segment (or any other segment for which Mr. Cathcart has responsibility
during the applicable period) for the three fiscal years preceding termination does not meet the
specified criteria (assuming a termination date of December 31, 2006, the reduction would have been
50%). Upon termination, assuming a termination date of December 31, 2006, Mr. Cathcart would have
been entitled to receive outplacement services in the amount of $49,500; medical benefits in the
amount of $32,428; full vesting in the accrued benefit under the SERP, the Restoration Plan and the
Pension Plan (assuming a lump-sum benefit paid to Mr. Cathcart at age 65) with a present value of
$3,477,000; plus any additional benefits he would have received if employment had continued until
age 62, as set forth in the table above under the heading Pension Benefits. In addition, the
agreement provides for the vesting of restricted stock awards and stock options in the amounts set
forth in the corresponding columns of the Quantification of Compensation Payable upon Change in
Control table above, as well as payment of outstanding performance-based awards in a manner
consistent with our then-current policy for executives. Upon death or disability, Mr. Cathcart is
entitled to accrued cash compensation, including accrued benefits under the EOPP. The Employment
Agreement also contains a covenant against competition by Mr. Cathcart for one year following his
last day of employment with us.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We use a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation to attract and retain
qualified directors. Compensation of our directors reflects our belief that a significant portion
of directors compensation should be tied to long-term growth in shareholder value.
Our employees who are directors, Mr. Hogan and Mr. Cathcart, are not and will not be
separately compensated for service as a member of the Board.
In 2006, as in 2005, non-employee directors were compensated as set forth below.
Annual Retainers
Annual retainers for non-employee directors service on the Board and Board Committees are as
follows:

Attendance Fees
For Board meetings, we paid each director $2,000 for personal attendance and $500 for
attendance by telephone (or video conference). For committee meetings lasting less than two hours,
we paid directors $1,500 for personal attendance ($2,000 for committee Chairs), and $500 for attendance
by telephone (or video conference). For committee meetings lasting longer than two hours, we paid the
directors $2,500 ($3,000 for committee Chairs) for personal attendance and $1,000 for attendance by telephone
(or video conference). We paid each director $2,000 to attend our managements annual strategic planning meeting.
Deferred Compensation
Under the current Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, our non-employee directors may elect to defer payment of all or a portion of their annual retainer and meeting fees in the form of share units. The value of a share unit is equal to the market value of a share of Common Stock. Share units carry no voting or investment power. We currently match 15% of the amount of the annual retainer that is deferred. A portion of our directors fees also may be paid directly in the form of share units under the equity compensation provisions of the Plan; however, no director was paid in that manner in 2006.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Within five years after election, non-employee directors are expected to acquire and hold our Common Stock or stock equivalents having a value equal to five times the annual retainer for non-employee directors.
Stock Option Plan
The Outside Directors Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the Stock Option Plan) provides for a one-time initial grant to non-employee directors of options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock and an automatic annual grant to non-employee directors of options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock. The Stock Option Plan
offers alternative forms of payment of the exercise price, including tendering of previously owned Common Stock or surrender of other options to purchase Common Stock. No option granted under the Plan may extend for a period of more than 10 years from the date of the grant and no option exercise price may be less than the current market price of Common Stock on the date of award of such option. One-third of the options granted to each recipient become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. If a director exercises the stock option during the first five years of the option term by tendering Common Stock, we can grant to the director a Reload Option. The Reload Option may be exercised during the remaining term of the original stock option period. The Reload Option exercise price is equal to the market price per share on the date the shares are tendered. As of December 14, 2006, we no longer grant options with a reload feature to our directors.
We granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock to each of our eight non-employee directors on February 21, 2006, at an exercise price of $38.88. In addition, we granted Mr. Meozzi Reload Options for 12,771 shares in 2006.

On February 21, 2006, each non-employee director received a stock
option award with a grant date fair value of $114,869 (10,000 shares).
The amount in column (d) above reflects the dollar amount we
recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006 in accordance with FAS 123(R)
(disregarding the estimate of forfeitures related to service-based
vesting). Based on this methodology, the amounts in column (d) may
include amounts from awards granted in and prior to 2006. Assumptions
used in the calculation of these amounts are included in footnote 13
to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2007. As of
December 31, 2006, each Director has the following number of options
outstanding: Glynis A. Bryan: 40,000; Barbara B. Grogan: 71,600;
Charles A. Haggerty: 48,079; David A. Jones: 40,000; Augusto Meozzi:

Unless otherwise noted, all shares are held either directly or indirectly by individuals
possessing sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares. Beneficial ownership
of an immaterial number of shares held by spouses has been disclaimed in some instances.
Randall J. Hogan has pledged 99,072 shares of the number set forth above as collateral for
certain third-party indebtedness. David D. Harrison has pledged 20,000 shares of the number
set forth above as collateral for certain third-party indebtedness. Amounts listed do not
include 943,140 shares held by the Pentair, Inc. Master Trust for various pension plans
sponsored by us or by our subsidiaries. The Trust Investment Committee of such Master Trust
included Randall J. Hogan, David D. Harrison, Frederick S. Koury and Michael G. Meyer.
Although these individuals could be deemed under applicable SEC rules to beneficially own
all of the shares held by these pension plans because of their shared voting and investment
power with respect to those shares, they disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares. |

PROPOSAL 2
Proposal to Amend our Articles of Incorporation
to Adopt a Majority Voting Standard for the Election of Directors
On December 14, 2006, the Board, in its continuing review of corporate governance matters,
determined that it is in our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders to amend
our Articles of Incorporation to adopt a majority voting standard in elections of directors.
Since 1985, our directors have been elected by majority vote as provided in our By-Laws. Our
Articles of Incorporation have always been silent regarding the vote required for the election of
directors.
Recently, the Minnesota legislature amended the Minnesota Business Corporations Act to provide
that directors of each company incorporated under Minnesota law will be elected by plurality vote
unless the companys articles of incorporation provided otherwise. Under a plurality voting
standard, a director nominee who receives the most for votes is elected, and votes not cast and
votes cast to withhold authority to vote on the nominees election have no impact on the election.
Under a majority voting standard, a director nominee must receive more for votes than votes
withheld or not cast in order to be elected to the Board. The proposed amendment represents the
Boards desire to revert to the standard for elections of directors that was in effect from 1985
until the recent change in Minnesota law.
The Board believes it is in the best interests of the shareholders to amend Section 6 of
Article I of our Articles of Incorporation to adopt a majority voting standard for the election of
directors. The text of the resolution that the shareholders are being asked to approve is as
follows:
RESOLVED, the first sentence of Section 1, Article XI of the Second Restated Articles of
Incorporation is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: The
business of this Corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors who shall be
elected by a majority vote of all votes cast at any meeting of the shareholders.
The current and proposed text of the section of our Articles of Incorporation to be amended is
attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B.
If the shareholders approve Proposal 2, then the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation
would become effective upon the filing of an executed amendment with the Secretary of State of
Minnesota. We would file this executed amendment promptly following the Annual Meeting.
This proposal will not affect the election of directors under Proposal 1 for this year.
Directors will be elected under the currently effective plurality voting standard.
If approved, this amendment could have the effect of making the election of a director more
difficult in contested elections. Under our Articles of Incorporation and governing law, the Board
would continue to have the right to fill any vacant seat on the Board, including any vacancy caused
by the failure of any director nominee to be elected by a majority vote. As noted on page 8 of
this Proxy Statement, our Articles of Incorporation provide that any Board-appointed director must
stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders. The change to a majority voting
standard is not being proposed for the purpose of making contested director elections more
difficult or in response to any known efforts by any person to propose a director nominee for
election to our Board. Rather, the proposed amendment represents the Boards desire to revert to
the standard for director elections that was in effect from 1985 until the recent change in
Minnesota law.
VOTE REQUIRED
Because Proposal 2 would amend our Articles of Incorporation, this proposal requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. In
addition, the proposal must not receive a negative vote from holders of more than 25% of the
outstanding voting shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted neither as votes in favor
of the proposal with respect to the 60% approval requirement nor as negative votes with respect to
the 25% disapproval limitation.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3
Proposal to Amend our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws
to Provide for the Election of up to Eleven Directors
On December 14, 2006, the Board unanimously determined that it is in our best interests and in
the best interests of our shareholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws to
fix the size of the Board at eleven members.
Section 1 of Article XI of our Articles of Incorporation and Section 1 of Article II of our
By-Laws currently provide that the Board consists of ten directors. The number of directors was
increased from nine to eleven at the 1996 Annual Meeting and was fixed at ten at the 2002 Annual
Meeting. The Board currently has ten members. Mr. Meozzi and Ms. Welke have indicated their
intent to retire following the Annual Meeting. Assuming all director nominees are elected, there
will be ten members of the Board immediately following the Annual Meeting.
The Board believes it is in the best interests of the shareholders to amend Section 1 of
Article XI of our Articles of Incorporation to fix the number of directors at eleven and to delete
the provision of Section 1, Article II of our By-Laws that fixes the number of our directors at
ten. The text of the resolutions that the shareholders are being asked to approve is set forth
below:
RESOLVED, the second sentence of Section 1, Article XI of the Second Restated Articles of
Incorporation is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: The number
of directors is hereby fixed at eleven (11).
RESOLVED, the second sentence of Section 1, Article II of the Third Amended and Superseding
By-Laws is hereby deleted in its entirety.
The current and proposed text of the sections of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and the Third Amended and Superseding By-Laws to be amended is set forth in Appendix
C.
The Board believes that it is desirable to fix the number of directors at eleven. The Board
believes that, as we continue to grow, we would benefit from a Board that has a greater breadth of
skills and experience. The ability to elect a larger Board also will enhance the likelihood of
continuity and stability in its composition and, therefore, in the strategic plans and long-term
policies adopted by the Board. Although this change could have the effect of deterring a change in
management in certain circumstances, we are not proposing these changes for that purpose or in
response to any known efforts by any person to acquire us or to bring about a change in control.
If the shareholders approve Proposal 3, then the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
would become effective upon the filing of an executed amendment with the Secretary of State of
Minnesota. We intend to file this executed amendment promptly following the Annual Meeting. The
amendment to the By-Laws would become effective upon approval by the shareholders.
VOTE REQUIRED
Because Proposal 3 would amend our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws, this proposal
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares entitled to
vote. In addition, the proposal must not receive a negative vote from holders of more than 25% of
the outstanding voting shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted neither as votes in
favor of the proposal with respect to the 60% approval requirement nor as negative votes with
respect to the 25% disapproval limitation.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 3.

PROPOSAL 4
Addition of Sexual Orientation to our Written Non-Discrimination Policy
Trillium Asset Management Corporation has notified us that it intends to present the following
proposal for consideration at the Annual Meeting. We will provide the address of such shareholder
and the number of shares it holds to any shareholder promptly upon receipt of an oral or written
request addressed to our Secretary. The proposed resolution and supporting shareholder statement
are followed by a statement of opposition and a recommendation from our Board. We accept no
responsibility for the proposed shareholder resolution and supporting statement.
PROPOSED SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION AND STATEMENT
WHEREAS: Pentair does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in
its written employment policy;
Our competitors Donaldson, Dover, Graco, Harsco, Illinois Tool Works, Tecumseh Products, Tennant
and Timken Company explicitly prohibit this form of discrimination in their written policies,
according to the Human Rights Campaign;
Over 86% of the Fortune 500 companies have adopted written nondiscrimination policies prohibiting
harassment and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, as have 98% of the Fortune 100
companies, according to the Human Rights Campaign;
We believe that corporations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation have a
competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining employees from the widest talent pool;
National public opinion polls consistently find more than three quarters Americans support equal
rights in the workplace for gay men, lesbians and bisexuals.
According to a September 2005 survey by Harris Interactive and Witeck-Combs, 57% of heterosexual
respondents consider it extremely or very important that a company have a written
non-discrimination policy that includes sexual orientation, compared to only 43% in 2002.
Additionally, only 47% believe that senior executives at their companies welcome, hire, and
encourage a diverse workforce.
A March 2003 Gallup poll found 88% of respondents favored equal opportunity in employment for gays
and lesbians.
Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles have adopted legislation restricting business
with companies that do not guarantee equal treatment for lesbian and gay employees;
Our company has operations in, and makes sales to institutions in states and cities that prohibit
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation;
Seventeen states, the District of Columbia and 167 cities and counties (including Houston), have
laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, and in Houston, at least 30
major employers have sexual orientation nondiscrimination policies and 25 grant same-sex domestic
partner benefits (see www.hrc.org/worknet);
RESOLVED: The Shareholders request that Pentair amend its written equal employment
opportunity policy to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and to
substantially implement the policy.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT: Employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation diminishes
employee morale and productivity. Because state and local laws are inconsistent with respect to
employment discrimination, our company would benefit from a consistent, corporate wide policy to
enhance efforts to prevent discrimination, resolve complaints internally, and ensure a respectful
and supportive atmosphere for all employees. Pentair will enhance its competitive edge by joining
the growing ranks of companies guaranteeing equal opportunity for all employees.
41
OUR STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION:
The Board believes this proposal is unnecessary because we are an equal opportunity employer
that is fully committed to complying with all applicable equal employment opportunity laws. The
Board believes that our current policies and practices with respect to nondiscrimination fully
achieve the objectives of this proposal. Further, the Board believes it is not practical or even
possible to list all categories on which to prohibit discrimination. The Board believes that such
an effort would only divert our resources and management time and attention from the overall goal
of a truly non-discriminatory workplace.
Our Code of Conduct and written employment policies prohibit discrimination on the basis
of age, race, gender, national origin, religion, physical or mental disability or any other legally
protected personal characteristic, and mirror the non-discrimination categories of federal law.
Our nondiscrimination policy applies to all areas of employment, including, but not limited to,
hiring and recruitment, training, promotion, employee benefits and compensation and termination of
employment. As such, the Board believes that our current policies and practices fully achieve the
objective of this proposal.
We recognize the value of a diverse workforce and are dedicated to ensuring that the
benefits that a diverse workforce provides maximize the full potential of our employees, customers,
vendors and communities. We continually strive to maintain a diverse workforce that meets the
needs of our customers and the communities where our customers and employees work and live.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST PROPOSAL 4.

PROPOSAL 5
Issuance of a Sustainability Report to Shareholders
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. has notified us that it intends to present the
following proposal for consideration at the Annual Meeting. We will provide the address of such
shareholder and the number of shares it holds to any shareholder promptly upon receipt of an oral
or written request addressed to our Secretary. The proposed resolution and supporting shareholder
statement are followed by a statement of opposition and a recommendation from our Board. We accept
no responsibility for the proposed shareholder resolution and supporting statement.
PROPOSED SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION AND STATEMENT
WHEREAS: Investors increasingly seek disclosure of companies social and environmental
practices in the belief that they impact shareholder value. Many investors believe companies that
are good employers, environmental stewards, and corporate citizens are more likely to generate
incremental financial returns, be more stable in turbulent economic and political conditions, and
enjoy long-term business success.
Mainstream financial companies are seeking tools to understand the links between sustainability
performance and capital markets. According to research consultant Innovest, major investment firms
including ABN-AMRO, Schroders, T. Rowe Price, and Legg Mason subscribe to information on companies
social and environmental practices to help make investment decisions.
Sustainability refers to endeavors that meet present needs without impairing the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. It includes encouraging long lasting social well being in
communities where [companies] operate, interacting with different stakeholders (e.g. clients,
suppliers, employees, government, local communities, and non-governmental organizations), and
responding to their specific and evolving needs, thereby securing a long-term license to operate,
superior customer and employee loyalty, and ultimately superior financial returns. (Dow Jones
Sustainability Group)
In 2005, approximately 2045 companies globally produce reports on sustainability issues.
(www.corporateregister.com)
Pentair competes internationally, and global expectations regarding sustainability reporting are
increasing. The European Commission recommends corporate sustainability reporting, and listed
companies in Australia, South Africa and France are required to provide investors with information
on their social and environmental performance.
Companies increasingly recognize that transparency and dialogue about sustainability are elements
of business success. According to General Electrics 2006 Corporate Citizen Report, The strength
of reputation, trust in brand and governance, and the ability to perform as a good corporate
citizen, all impact GEs valuation and shape the perception of the Companys worth.... At GE, we
believe the essence of corporate citizenship is the ability to link integrity and performance so
tightly and on so many levels that good corporate citizenship is simply a part of who we are, what
we do, and the results we achieve. Good citizenship sets a challenging goalhigh performance and
high integrity.
RESOLVED: Shareholders request that the Board of Directors issue a sustainability report to
shareholders, at reasonable cost, and omitting proprietary information, by October 31, 2007.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT: The report should include Pentairs definition of sustainability, as
well as a company-wide review of company policies, practices, and metrics related to long-term
social and environmental sustainability. We recommend that Pentair use the Global Reporting
Initiatives Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (The Guidelines) to prepare the report. The
Global Reporting Initiative (www.globalreporting.org) is an international organization developed
with representatives from the business, environmental, human rights and labor communities. The
Guidelines provide guidance on report content, including performance on direct economic impacts,
environmental, labor practices and decent work conditions, human rights, society, and product
responsibility. The Guidelines provide a flexible reporting system that allows the omission of
content that is not relevant to company operations. According to GRI, upwards of 1000 organizations around the
world report using GRI, including 3M, Intel, Starbucks, and Microsoft.
43
OUR STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION:
We recognize the importance of our social and environmental practices, as well as our economic
performance, to our shareholders. Wherever we operate, we have been, and will continue to be,
committed to upholding and abiding by all laws and regulations that govern our operations, to
treating all of our employees with dignity, fairness and respect, to protecting the health and
safety of our employees, to protecting the environment and to enhancing the quality of life in all
of the communities in which we operate. We are committed to being a good corporate citizen
everywhere we operate and believe that the requirement of creating an annual sustainability report
is not only unnecessary but would be overly burden our resources and our managements time and
attention.
We believe that our conduct and its reputation are among our most valuable assets. We are
committed to the practice of promoting and enforcing good ethics and conduct by our officers,
directors and employees. In that regard, we maintain our Code of Conduct that represents the core
of our business philosophy and values and defines how we expect our officers, directors and
employees to conduct themselves. All of our officers, directors and employees are expected to read
carefully and adhere to the policies set forth in the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct covers
many sustainability issues, including such topics as Protecting the Environment, Legal Obligations
and Compliance, Conflicts of Interest, Diversity, Safety, and Accurate and Honest Reporting. A
copy of the Code of Conduct is readily available to all shareholders and others at our website,
www.pentair.com, under Corporate Information Code of Conduct.
In addition, we make numerous disclosures on social and environmental issues, as well as
economic performance, in our public available filings with the SEC, in press releases, in our
annual reports to shareholders and otherwise.
Our track record demonstrates that we work hard to be a good corporate citizen wherever we
operate. This includes our promotion of social, environmental and economic issues. We have made
and will continue to make information about our efforts in these areas available to the public. In
light of these facts, the Board believes that conducting a special annual review of social,
environmental and economic issues and preparing an additional report to shareholders on the subject
as the proposal requests is unnecessary and would not be an effective use of corporate resources.
The time and expense involved in preparing such a report would detract from the focus on our
business and operations and would not provide benefits commensurate with the human and financial
burden of such a report at this time.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST PROPOSAL 5.

PROPOSAL 6
The Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP
as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2007
At its February 26, 2007 meeting, our Audit Committee approved the appointment of Deloitte &
Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 2007. We are seeking the shareholders ratification of
such action. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit
Committee will make another appointment effective for the subsequent fiscal year. Even if the
shareholders ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a new
independent auditor at any time that it believes such change would be in our best interests in the
best interests of our shareholders.
We expect that representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will attend the Annual Meeting and be
available to make a statement or respond to appropriate questions.
EACH OF THE BOARD AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR PROPOSAL 6.

AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE
Audit Committee Pre-approval Policy
The Audit Committee reviews and approves the external auditors engagement and audit plan,
including fees, scope, staffing and timing of work. In addition, the Audit Committee Charter
limits the types of non-audit services that may be provided by the independent auditor. Any
permitted non-audit services to be performed by the independent auditor must be pre-approved by the
Audit Committee after the Committee is advised of the nature of the engagement and particular
services to be provided. The Committee pre-approved audit fees and all permitted non-audit
services of the independent auditor in 2006. Responsibility for this pre-approval may be delegated
to one or more members of the Committee; all such approvals, however, must be disclosed to the
Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may not delegate
authority for pre-approvals to management.
Service Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and their
respective affiliates (collectively, the Deloitte Entities) to provide various audit,
audit-related, tax and other permitted non-audit services to us during fiscal year 2006. Their
expenses for these services were as follows (in thousands):

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
In connection with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the

(1) |
|
reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006, with management, |
|
|
(2) |

Exchange Commission. The Board has approved this inclusion.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Our executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders are required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and furnish copies of these reports to us.
We have reviewed of copies of reports furnished to us, or written representations that no
reports were required. Based solely on these reports, we believe that during 2006 our executive
officers and directors complied with all such filing requirements.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2008 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
The deadline for submitting a shareholder proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement and
form of proxy for our 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the SEC is
November 26, 2007. A shareholder who otherwise intends to present business at the 2008 Annual
Meeting must comply with the requirements set forth in our By-Laws. The By-Laws state, among other
things, that to bring business before an annual meeting, a shareholder must give written notice
that complies with the By-Laws to our Secretary not less than 45 days nor more than 70 days prior
to the first annual anniversary of the date when we first mailed our proxy statement to
shareholders in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting. Accordingly, we must
receive notice of a shareholder proposal submitted other than
pursuant to Rule 14a-8 by February 10,
2008. If the notice is received after February 10, 2008, then the notice will be considered
untimely and we are not required to present such proposal at the 2008 Annual Meeting. If the Board
chooses to present a proposal submitted other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 at the 2008 Annual
Meeting, then the persons named in the proxies solicited by the Board for the 2008 Annual Meeting
may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to such proposal. Shareholder proposals
should be sent to us at our principal executive offices: 5500 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 800, Golden
Valley, MN 55416, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
OTHER BUSINESS
Our management does not know of any other matter to be presented for action at the Annual
Meeting. However, if any other matter should be properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the
persons named in the proxy accompanying this Proxy Statement intend to vote the proxy in accordance
with their best judgment.
2006 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
Any shareholder wishing to review, without charge, a copy of our 2006 Annual Report on Form
10-K (without exhibits) filed with the SEC should write to us at our principal executive offices:
5500 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 800, Golden Valley, MN 55416, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
REDUCE DUPLICATE MAILINGS
To reduce duplicate mailings, we are now sending only one copy of any proxy statement or
annual report to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless we receive contrary instructions
from one or more of the shareholders. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a
separate copy of the annual report or proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address.
If you wish to receive separate copies of each proxy statement and annual report please notify
us by writing or calling Pentair, Inc., 5500 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 800, Golden Valley, MN
55416, Attention: Corporate Secretary, Telephone: (763) 545-1730 or (800) 328-9626.

Appendix A
PENTAIR, INC.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES
Selection and Composition of the Board
1) Board Membership Criteria
The Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board, on an annual basis, the
appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the current
make-up of the Board. Recognizing that the contribution of the Board will depend not only on the
character and capacities of the Directors taken individually, but also on their collective
strengths, the Board should be composed of:
|
a. |
|
Directors chosen with a view to bringing to the Board a variety of experience
and background; |
|
|
b. |
|
Directors who will form a central core of business executives with financial
expertise; |
|
|
c. |
|
Directors who have substantial experience outside the business community in
the public, academic or scientific communities, for example; |
|
|
d. |
|
Directors who will represent the balanced, best interests of the shareholders
as a whole rather than special interest groups or constituencies; |
|
|
e. |
|
At least one Director who has the requisite experience and expertise to be
designated as an audit committee financial expert as defined by applicable rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission; and |
|
|
f. |
|
A majority of Directors who are Independent (as defined below). |
The Governance Committee and the full Board believe the following minimum qualifications must be
met by a Director nominee to be recommended by the Governance Committee to the full Board:
|
a. |
|
each Director should be chosen without regard to sex, race, religion or
national origin. |
|
|
b. |
|
each Director should be an individual of the highest character and integrity
and have an inquiring mind, vision and the ability to work well with others; |
|
|
c. |
|
each Director should be free of any conflict of interest which would violate
any applicable law or regulation or interfere with the proper performance of the
responsibilities of a director; |
|
|
d. |
|
each Director should possess substantial and significant experience which would
be of particular importance to the Company in the performance of the duties of a
director; |
|
|
e. |
|
each Director should have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of
the Company in order to carry out the responsibilities of a director; and |
|
|
f. |
|
each Director should have the capacity and desire to represent the balanced,
best interests of the shareholders as a whole and not primarily a special interest
group or constituency and be committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value. |
2) Selection and Orientation of New Directors
The Board itself is responsible for selecting its own members and recommending them for election by
the shareholders. The Board delegates the screening process involved to the Governance Committee,
which recommends to the Board the names of qualified candidates to be
A-1
nominated for election or
re-election as Directors in accordance with the criteria set forth in these Corporate Governance Principles and the
Governance Committee Charter. The Board and the Company have implemented an orientation process for
new Directors that includes background material, meetings with senior management and visits to
Company facilities.
The Governance Committee will consider persons recommended by shareholders to become nominees for
election as Directors in accordance with the criteria set forth in these Corporate Governance
Principles. Recommendations for consideration by the Governance Committee should be sent to the
Secretary of the Company in writing together with appropriate biographical information concerning
each proposed nominee. The Companys bylaws also set forth certain requirements for shareholders
wishing to nominate director candidates directly for consideration by shareowners.
3) Extending the Invitation to a Potential Director to Join the Board
The invitation to join the Board should be extended by the Board itself via the Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, together with an independent director, when
appropriate.
Board Leadership
4) Selection of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The By-Laws of the Company permit the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer to be
the same or different persons. The Board is free to make this choice in any way that the Board
deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Therefore, the Board does not have a policy, one way or the other, on whether or not the role of
the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined and, if it is
to be separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from the non-employee Directors or be an
employee.
Board Composition and Performance
5) Size of the Board
The Board is limited to ten members by the By-Laws of the Company. The consensus of the Board is
that this is an appropriate size. Any change to the size of the Board would require an amendment to
the By-Laws of the Company in such a way that shareholder approval of that change would be
required.
6) Mix of Management and Independent Directors
At least a majority of the Board shall be Independent Directors. The Board believes that management
should encourage executive officers to understand that Board membership is not necessary or a
prerequisite to any higher management position in the Company. Executive officers other than the
Chief Executive Officer currently attend portions of Board meetings on a regular basis even though
they are not members of the Board.
7) Board Definition of What Constitutes Independence for Directors
For a Director to qualify as Independent:
|
a. |
|
The Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that the Director has no
material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or
officer of an organization that has a material relationship with the Company) that
would prevent the Director from acting independently of management of the Company,
taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances. The Board shall consider
both from the standpoint of the Director and from the standpoint of the persons or
organizations with which the Director has an affiliation. Material relationships can
include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and
familial relationships, among others. |
|
|
b. |
|
Presently and within the immediately preceding three (3) year period: |
A-2
|
(i) |
|
the Director shall not be or have been an employee of the
Company or any affiliate of the Company, other than as interim CEO or Chairman;
an Immediate Family Member shall not be an executive officer of the Company or
any affiliate of the Company; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the Director shall not be or have been affiliated with or
employed by a present or former (during the immediately preceding three (3)
year period) internal or external auditor of the Company; an Immediate Family
Member shall not be or have been affiliated with or employed in a professional
capacity by a present or former (during the immediately preceding three (3)
year period) internal or external auditor of the Company; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
neither the Director nor an Immediate Family Member shall be
or have been employed (during the immediately preceding three (3) year period)
as an executive officer of another company where an executive officer of the
Company serves on the compensation committee of such other company; |
|
|
(iv) |
|
the Director shall not be an executive officer or an employee
of another company (A) that accounts for at least $1 million or two percent
(2%), whichever is greater, of the Companys consolidated gross revenues or (B)
for which the Company accounts for at least $1 million or two percent (2%),
whichever is greater, of such other companys consolidated gross revenues; an
Immediate Family member shall not be an executive officer of another company

8) Former Chairman/Chief Executive Officers Board Membership
The Board believes this is a matter to be decided in each individual instance. When a Chairman of
the Board or Chief Executive Officer resigns from that position, he or she shall submit his or her
resignation from the Board at the same time. Whether the individual continues to serve on the Board
is a matter to be determined by the Governance Committee and the Board. A former Chairman or Chief
Executive Officer serving on the Board will not be considered an independent Director.
9) Directors Who Change Their Present Job Responsibility
When a Directors principal occupation or business association changes substantially from the
position he or she held when originally invited to join the Board, the Director shall tender a
letter of resignation for the Governance Committee to consider. The Committee will review whether
the new occupation, or retirement, of the Director is consistent with the specific rationale for
originally selecting that individual and the guidelines for Board membership. The Committee will
recommend to the Board any action to be taken in connection therewith.
All Directors are encouraged to limit the number of other boards (excluding non-profits) on which
they serve, taking into account potential board attendance, participation and effectiveness on
these boards. In order to permit more effective participation by every Director, the Board has
determined to limit the number of Boards of Directors on which any Director may sit to four Boards
in addition to the Companys. All Directors shall advise the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman
of the Board and the Chairman of the Governance Committee in advance of accepting an invitation to
serve on another board or the audit committee of another board. The Company will review any
potential conflicts of interest or other matters that may affect the Directors independence and
advise the Chairman of the Governance Committee as to the results of
A-3
the review. The Chairman of
the Governance Committee will confirm suitability of the proposed directorship or audit committee membership with
the Director prior to his or her acceptance of the position. If a Director desires to accept a
position on the Board or the audit committee of another public company, that Director must confirm
to the Board of the Company that he or she has the time and the capability, notwithstanding the new
position, to fulfill his or her responsibilities as a Director of the Company.
10) Term Limits
The Board has not adopted term limits for non-employee Directors.
11) Election of Directors Following Appointment
The Board may, but need not, appoint Directors at any time to fill vacancies on the Board.
Pentairs Articles of Incorporation require that each appointed Director must stand for election at
the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders for the remaining term of the class of Directors
to which he or she was appointed.
12) Retirement Age
A Director must retire at the first annual meeting of the Companys shareholders immediately
following such Directors 70th birthday.
13) Board Compensation and Stock Ownership Guidelines
It is appropriate for the staff of the Company to report once a year to the Governance Committee
the status of the Pentair Board compensation in relation to its peers and the targeted comparable
companies. As part of a Directors total compensation and to create a direct linkage with
corporate performance, the Board believes that a meaningful portion of a Directors compensation
should be provided and held in stock options and/or common stock units. Within five years after
election, Directors are expected to acquire and hold Company stock or stock equivalents having a
value equal to five times the annual retainer for Directors.
Compensation for non-employee Directors and Committee chairpersons shall be consistent with the
market practices of other reasonably comparable companies, but shall not be at a level or in a form
that would call into question the Boards objectivity. Directors who are employees of the Company
will receive no additional compensation for serving as a Director of the Company.
Changes in Board compensation, if any, should come at the suggestion of the Governance Committee,
but with full discussion and concurrence by the Board.
14) Executive Sessions of Independent Directors
The non-management Directors of the Board will meet in Executive Session at each regular meeting of
the Board and as needed at each special meeting of the Board. If the non-management Directors
include directors who are not Independent Directors, then the Independent Directors will meet at
least once a year in Executive Session including only Independent Directors. Executive Sessions
will be chaired by the Lead Director selected by the Board.
15) Assessing the Boards Performance
The Governance Committee is responsible to report annually to the Board an assessment of the
Boards performance. In addition, each Committee is responsible to report annually to the Board an
assessment of that Committees performance. These assessments will be discussed with the full
Board, which will evaluate whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. This
should be done following the end of each fiscal year and at the same time as the report on Board
membership criteria.
These assessments should be of the Boards contribution as a whole and specifically review areas in
which the Board and/or the management believes a better contribution could be made in order to
increase the effectiveness of the Board.
16) Director Continuing Education
All Directors are encouraged to attend appropriate director continuing education programs. The
fees for such programs, and reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses, will be paid by the
Company to the extent not paid or reimbursed by any other organization.
A-4
Responsibilities of the Board
17) Responsibilities and Duties
The primary responsibility of the Board is to oversee the performance of the Company, its plans and
prospects, as well as immediate issues facing the Company. Directors are expected to attend all
scheduled meetings of the Board and the Committees on which they serve and all meetings of
shareholders. In addition to its general oversight of management, the Board (either directly or
through its committees) also performs a number of specific functions, including:
|
a. |
|
Representing the interests of the Companys shareholders in maintaining and
enhancing the success of the Companys business, including optimizing long-term returns
to increase shareholder value; |
|
|
b. |
|
Selecting, evaluating and compensating a well-qualified Chief Executive Officer
of high integrity, and overseeing Chief Executive Officer succession planning; |
|
|
c. |
|
Providing counsel and oversight on the selection, evaluation, development and
compensation of senior management; |
|
|
d. |
|
Reviewing, approving and interacting with senior management with respect to the
Companys fundamental financial and business strategies and major corporate actions,
including strategic planning, management development and succession, operating
performance and shareholder returns; |
|
|
e. |
|
Assessing major risks facing the Company and reviewing options for their
mitigation; |
|
|
f. |
|
Ensuring processes are in place for maintaining the integrity of the Company,
the integrity of its financial statements, the integrity of its compliance with law and
ethics, the integrity of its relationships with customers and suppliers and the
integrity of its relationships with other stakeholders; and |
|
|
g. |
|
Providing general advice and counsel to the Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and other senior management personnel. |
19) Board Access to Independent Advisors
The Board and each committee are authorized to retain and consult with independent advisors, as is
necessary and appropriate, without consulting management.
19) Shareholder Communications with Directors
Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with the full Board, non-management
Directors as a group or individual Directors, including the Lead Director, if any, or the Director
who chairs Executive Sessions, by providing such communication in writing to the Companys
Secretary, who will directly provide such communication to the full Board or specified Directors,
as the case may be.
Board Relationship to Senior Management
20) Regular Attendance of Non-Directors at Board Meetings
Senior management non-Board members may attend the meetings of the Board at its discretion. In
addition, the Board may request the attendance of other individuals as necessary or appropriate.
21) Board Access to Senior Management
Board members have complete access to the Companys management. Board members will use their
judgment to be sure that this contact is not distracting to the business operation of the Company.
A-5
Furthermore, the Board encourages the management to, from time to time, bring managers into Board
meetings who: (a) can provide additional insight into the items being discussed because of
personal involvement in these areas, and/or (b) are managers with future potential that the senior
management believes should be given exposure to the Board.
Meeting Procedures
22) Selection of Agenda Items for Board Meetings
The Chairman of the Board will establish the agenda for each Board meeting in consultation with the
Lead Director. Each Board member is free to request the inclusion of additional items on the
agenda.
23) Board Materials Distributed in Advance
Information and data that is important to the Boards understanding of the business will be
distributed in writing to the Board before the Board meets with reasonable time provided for
review.
24) Board Presentations
As a general rule, presentations on specific subjects should be sent to the Board members in
advance so that Board members are adequately informed and prepared and discussion time focused on
questions that the Board has about the material.
Committee Matters
25) Number, Structure and Independence of Committees
From time to time, the Board may want to form a new committee or disband a current Committee
depending upon the circumstances. The current four committees are Audit and Finance, Compensation,
Governance, and International. The Audit and Finance, Compensation and Governance committees shall
be composed solely of Independent Directors.
26) Assignment and Rotation of Committee Members
The Governance Committee is responsible, after consultation with the Chairman of the Board and with
consideration of the desires of individual Board members, for the assignment of Board members to
various committees.
It is the sense of the Board that consideration should be given to rotating Committee members
periodically, but the Board does not believe that such a rotation should be mandated as a policy
since there may be reasons at a given point in time to maintain an individual Directors committee
membership for a longer period.
Any Board member is welcome to attend the meetings of any Committee of the Board, whether or not a
member of such Committee.
27) Frequency and Length of Committee Meetings
The Committee Chair, in consultation with committee members, will determine the frequency and
length of the meetings of the Committee.
28) Committee Agenda
The Chair of the Committee, in consultation with the appropriate members of the Committee and
management, will develop the Committees agenda.
A-6
Leadership Development
29) Formal Evaluation of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer
The Compensation Committee and the other Independent Directors shall make this evaluation annually,
and it should be communicated to the Chief Executive Officer by the Chair of the Compensation Committee
and the Lead Director. The evaluation should be based on objective criteria including performance
of the business, accomplishment of long-term strategic objectives, development of management, etc.
The evaluation will be used by Committee in the course of its deliberations when considering the
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.
30) Succession Planning
The Governance Committee and the Chief Executive Officer will provide to the Board an annual report
on succession planning.
There should also be available to the Governance Committee Chair and the Lead Director, on a
continuing basis, the Chief Executive Officers recommendation as a successor should the Chief
Executive Officer be unexpectedly disabled. If such a vacancy occurs, the Governance Committee
shall recommend a successor, whether interim or permanent, to the Board.
* * *
Nothing in these Corporate Governance Principles is intended to expand the fiduciary duty or other
legal obligations of Board members or officers of the Company beyond those provided for under
applicable law or regulation.
