Dear ADT Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend The ADT Corporations 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Annual Meeting), which will be held at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 in the Grand Ballroom at the Farmers Table Event Center, 1901 N. Military Trail, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. Details of the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are given in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, which provides information required by applicable laws and regulations.
In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are sending stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet. This Notice also provides information on how stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe use of the Internet makes the proxy distribution process more efficient, less costly and helps in conserving natural resources.
Your vote is important and we encourage you to vote whether you are a registered owner or a beneficial owner (because your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee), and whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. If you are a registered owner of ADT common stock and do not plan to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you may vote via the Internet, by telephone or, if you receive a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing the completed proxy card. Voting by any of these methods will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner, the registered owner will communicate with you about how to vote your shares.
Thank you for your continued interest in ADT.
Yours sincerely,
Bruce Gordon

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY
The business of the Company is managed under the direction of its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors delegates its authority to management for managing the everyday affairs of the Company. Strong corporate governance is and has been a long-standing priority at ADT. The Board of Directors believes that sound corporate governance is the foundation for financial integrity, investor confidence and superior performance, and it is committed to recruiting and retaining directors and officers of proven leadership and personal integrity. To further these goals, the Board of Directors has adopted the ADT Board Governance Principles. The Board of Directors reviews these Principles, at least annually, and updates the Principles as necessary to reflect changing regulatory requirements, evolving practices and input from stockholders. The ADT Board Governance Principles are posted on the Companys website at http://investors.adt.com. A copy of the Principles is available to stockholders upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board of Directors does not have a formal policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as it believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to make that determination based on the business needs of the Company and the membership of the Board at a given time. The Company has had an independent Chairman since it became a standalone publicly-traded company in September 2012, and the Board of Directors believes that having separate Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions, and having an independent director serve as Chairman, continues to be the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time. The Board of Directors believes that the current leadership structure enables the Chief Executive Officer to focus on the operations of the Companys business, while the independent Chairman focuses on leading the Board in its responsibilities and helping the Board ensure that management is acting in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The Boards Oversight of Risk Management
Risk is an inherent part of ADTs business activities and risk management is critical to the Companys innovation and success. The Companys compensation programs are designed to motivate employees to take appropriate levels of risks that are aligned with the Companys strategic goals, without encouraging or rewarding excessive risk. The Board of Directors is responsible for evaluating the Companys major risks and for determining that appropriate risk management and control procedures are in place and that senior executives take the appropriate steps to manage all major risks.
As part of its enterprise risk management (ERM) program, the Company conducts an annual risk assessment survey covering risks, among others, in finance, operations, strategy, compliance, information technology, human resources, environment, health, safety and welfare, brand reputation, innovation, litigation, risk management, public affairs and competition. The Board of Directors has delegated responsibility for the oversight of the ERM program to its Nominating and Governance Committee. The Company formed the Enterprise Risk Management Council (the ERMC), which is chaired by the Chief Legal Officer, and consists of other senior executives from Risk Management, Internal Audit, IT, Corporate Development, Operations, Finance, Innovation and Technology, Marketing and Environmental, Health & Safety. The ERMC meets periodically to (i) review the results of the annual risk assessment survey and to identify the top enterprise risks, (ii) determine specified risk owners, (iii) monitor the implementation of mitigation plans, and (iv) update and obtain direction from the Nominating and Governance Committee on a regular basis.
Throughout the year, the Board of Directors dedicates a portion of its meetings to review and discuss specific risks and mitigation processes in greater detail. Oversight of certain specific risks is delegated to the following committees of the Board of Directors:
Audit Committeeoversees risks relating to the Companys major financial risk exposures including financial statements and financial reporting and controls, internal controls, cybersecurity risk oversight and legal, regulatory and compliance risks, and steps taken by management to monitor and control such exposures.
Compensation Committeeoversees risks arising from the Companys compensation policies and programs for all employees and the non-management directors.
Nominating and Governance Committeeoversees risks related to the Companys governance structure and process as well as oversee the ERMC as described above.
The Boards Role in Strategy Oversight
The Board of Directors as a whole is constituted to be strong in its collective knowledge and has diversity of skills and experience with respect to vision and strategy, management and leadership, business operations, business judgment, crisis management, risk assessment, industry knowledge, accounting and finance, corporate governance, and global markets. Setting the strategic course of the Company involves a high level of constructive engagement between management and the Board of Directors. In addition to dedicating a multi-day meeting to strategy discussions annually, the Board of Directors receives information and updates from management with respect to strategy throughout the year and discusses strategy periodically at Board meetings.
The ADT Corporation | 2016 Proxy Statement 5 |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANYCONTINUED |
Board Evaluations
The Board of Directors and committees conduct annual self-assessments to assess the qualifications, attributes, skills and experience represented on the Board and to determine the effectiveness of the Board and each committee. As part of this process, directors are asked to complete a written Board questionnaire and committee self-assessments. The questionnaire and self-assessments focus on the Boards and committees contribution to the Company and on areas in which the Board of Directors believes that the Board or any of its committees could improve. This process enables directors to provide anonymous and confidential feedback, which is then summarized and compiled into a report and reviewed by the Chairman of the Board. The Chairman then discusses the findings in a report with the full Board and oversees the full Boards review of its performance.
Attendance at Meetings
The Board of Directors met eight times during fiscal year 2015. ADT policy dictates that the Board of Directors meets at least five times a year, and additional meetings may be called in accordance with our By-laws. One of these meetings is scheduled in conjunction with the Companys annual meeting of stockholders, and Board members are required to be in attendance at the annual meeting of stockholders in person or, via exception, by telephone. No current director attended fewer than 75 percent of the board meetings held, including meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which such director served. All of the current directors attended the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Executive Sessions
The non-management directors of the Company meet in executive sessions without management on a regular basis. The Chairman of the Board of Directors presides at such executive sessions (the Presiding Director). In the absence of the Presiding Director, the non-management directors will designate another director to preside over such executive sessions.
Investor Engagement
In 2015, the Board of Directors adopted the Stockholder Communication and Engagement Policy. The Stockholder Communication and Engagement Policy is posted on the Companys website at http://investors.adt.com. Consistent with this Policy, the Company instituted a process to provide an opportunity for certain institutional investors with substantial ownership positions to meet with one or more of the Companys independent directors. This allows directors to directly discuss and receive investors views on, among other topics, the Companys strategy, compensation philosophy and programs, Board structure and composition, and corporate governance practices and disclosure. A copy of the Stockholder Communication and Engagement Policy is available to stockholders upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431.
Communicating with the Board
Management speaks on behalf of the Company, and the Board of Directors normally communicates through management with outside parties, including stockholders, business journalists, equity analysts, rating agencies, and government regulators. Stockholders and all other interested parties can directly raise issues with the Board of Directors, including the non-management directors as a group, via email at directors@adt.com. The Board of Directors periodically reviews all pertinent communications from stockholders and other interested parties.

Board Committees
The Board of Directors maintains three standing committees: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance, and each of these committees is entirely composed of independent directors. The table below indicates the members of each Board committee:
| The independent directors as a group elect the members and the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. Assignments to, and chairs of, the Audit and Compensation Committees are recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee and selected by the Board of Directors. All committees report regularly on their activities to the Board of Directors. |
| The Chairman of the Board of Directors may convene a special committee to review certain material matters being considered by the Board of Directors from time to time. The special committee will report their activities to the Board of Directors. |
| To ensure effective discussion and decision making while at the same time having a sufficient number of independent directors for its three standing committees, the Board of Directors is normally constituted of between seven and nine directors but may consist of as many as twelve directors as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. Subject to ADTs certificate of incorporation, the number of directors shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors, and vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the vote of the remaining directors then in office. |
| The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the organization of the Board of Directors and recommends appropriate changes to the full Board of Directors. |
Each of the committees operates under a written charter that is posted to our website at http://investors.adt.com. We will also provide a printed copy of the committee charters to stockholders upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.

2016 Proxy Statement |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANYCONTINUED |
To maintain its objective oversight of management, the Board of Directors currently consists of all independent directors, with the exception of Mr. Gursahaney, the current Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors has adopted categorical standards designed to assist it in assessing director independence (the Independence Standards). The Independence Standards are included in our Board Governance Principles which can be found on our website at http://investors.adt.com. The Independence Standards have been designed to comply with the standards required by the NYSE. In addition, committee members are subject to any additional independence requirements that may be required by law, regulation or NYSE listing standards.
Based on an annual evaluation performed by, and recommendations made by, the Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board of Directors annually determines the independence of each director. Under our Board Governance Principles and NYSE listing standards, a director is not independent unless the Board of Directors makes an affirmative determination that such director has no material relationships with the Company (either directly or indirectly as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company).
Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial relationships, among others.
Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Colligan, Mr. Daly, Mr. Donahue, Mr. Dutkowsky, Mr. Gordon, Ms. Heller, Ms. Hyle and Mr. Hylen has satisfied the Independence Standards as well as the independence requirements of the NYSE. Mr. Gursahaney, the current Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is not independent because of his role as an executive officer of the Company.
In making its independence determinations, the Board of Directors considered and reviewed the various commercial and employment transactions and relationships known to the Board of Directors (including those identified through annual directors questionnaires) that exist between us and our subsidiaries and the entities with which certain of our directors are, or have been, affiliated. Specifically, the Boards independence determinations included reviewing the following transactions:
As stated in his biography on page 16 of this Proxy Statement, Richard Daly is the Chief Executive Officer and President of Broadridge and a member of the board of directors of Broadridge. During fiscal year 2015, Broadridge provided proxy processing and mailing services, including conduit payments to banks and brokers (collectively, the ADT Proxy Payments) provided by Broadridge to the Company. The ADT Proxy Payments totaled $328,316 in 2015 and since the ADT Proxy Payments were less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of Broadridges consolidated gross revenues in any of the last three fiscal years, and were below the thresholds set forth under our Independence Standards, the Nominating and Governance Committee determined that Mr. Daly satisfied the Independence Standards, including the independence requirements of the NYSE.
During fiscal year, 2013, ADT Security Services Canada, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company entered into a service contract for equipment, materials and services with Tech Data Canada Corporation, a subsidiary of Tech Data Corporation (collectively, Tech Data). As stated in his biography on page 17 of this Proxy Statement, Robert Dutkowsky is the Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of Tech Data Corporation. During fiscal year 2015, ADT or one of its subsidiaries paid a total of $18,588,122CAD ($15,206,943USD) to Tech Data for purchases and warehousing of security equipment. Since these payments were less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of Tech Data Corporations consolidated gross revenues in any of the last three fiscal years, and were below the thresholds set forth under our Independence Standards, the Nominating and Governance Committee determined that Mr. Dutkowsky satisfied the Independence Standards, including the independence requirements of the NYSE.
As stated in his biography on page 17 of the Proxy Statement, Bruce Gordon is a member of the board of directors of CBS Corporation. During fiscal year 2015, ADT or one of its subsidiaries paid a total of $22,500 to CBS Radio for advertising services. Since these payments were less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of CBS Corporations consolidated gross revenues in any of the last three fiscal years, and were below the thresholds set forth under our Independence Standards, the Nominating and Governance Committee determined that Mr. Gordon satisfied the Independence Standards, including the independence requirements of the NYSE.
On January 8, 2015, in connection with its recommendation to the Board of Directors to appoint Christopher Hylen to the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee considered Mr. Hylens current position with the Citrix SaaS Division (Citrix) and the amounts paid by the Company during fiscal year 2015 for telecom, IT support services and web collaboration (collectively, the Citrix Payments) provided by Citrix to the Company. Mr. Hylens biography is on page 19 of this Proxy Statement. During fiscal year 2015, ADT paid $88,880 to Citrix for network services, telecom, IT support services and web collaboration. Since the Citrix Payments were less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of Citrixs consolidated gross revenues in any of the last three fiscal years, and were below the thresholds set forth under our Independence Standards, the Nominating and Governance Committee determined that Mr. Hylen satisfied the Independence Standards, including the independence requirements of the NYSE.
The Board of Directors determined that the transactions identified above were not material and did not affect the independence of such director under the Independence Standards, including the independence requirements of the NYSE.

Experiences, Qualifications, Attributes and Skills of Director Nominees
When evaluating potential director nominees, the Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes a diverse group of experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills, including diversity in gender, ethnicity and race that the Nominating and Governance Committee believes enables a director nominee to make significant contributions to the Board of Directors, ADT and our stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee works with the Board of Directors to determine the appropriate mix of backgrounds and experiences in order to establish and maintain a Board that is strong in its collective knowledge and that can fulfill its responsibilities, perpetuate our long term success, and represent the interests of our stockholders. These experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills are more fully described in the following table:
ADTs Board Governance Principles provide the following:
| Directors are elected by an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders at the annual meeting and they serve for one-year terms. Any nominee for director who does not receive a majority of votes cast from the stockholders is not elected to the Board of Directors, however, such nominee will remain in office until a new director is elected, which shall take place in a timely manner. |
| Directors are not eligible to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting following their 75th birthday. However, the Board of Directors may ask the director to continue his or her service on the Board when it is deemed to be in the best interests of the Company. |
| The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for the review of all directors, and where necessary will take action to remove a director for performance, which requires the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors. This unanimous approval does not include the approval of the director whose removal is sought. |
| Directors inform the Nominating and Governance Committee of any significant change in their employment or professional responsibilities and will offer their resignation to the Board of Directors. This allows for discussion with the Nominating and Governance Committee to determine if it is in the mutual interest of both parties for the director to continue on the Board of the Directors. |
12 | The ADT Corporation |
2016 Proxy Statement |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANYCONTINUED |
| Committee chairs will serve in their respective roles for five years, and rotate at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders following the completion of their fifth year of service. |
| When the Chairman of the Board of Directors steps down, he or she simultaneously resigns from the Board of Directors, unless the remaining members of the Board of Directors decides that his or her services are in the best interests of the Company. It is only in unusual circumstances that the Board of Directors decides that the retired Chairman continues to serve. |
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
The Board of Directors has adopted written Guidelines for Related Party Transactions. These Guidelines provide a process for compliance with the related party provisions of the ADT Board Governance Principles, the Companys Code of Conduct, and the Companys By-laws, as well as the disclosure obligations under the SEC rules. The Nominating and Governance Committee monitors, reviews and approves, if necessary, any material related party transactions between ADT and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) and its senior officers and directors. ADTs Guidelines for Related Party Transactions state that on an annual basis, the Nominating and Governance Committee will receive a list of related parties (the Related Party List) for each senior officer and director and such list will include any entity that employs a director, any entity (including charitable organizations) for which the director or executive officer serves on the board of directors, and any entity in which the senior officer or director owns more than a 10% interest. There are three types of material related party transactions covered by the Guidelines for Related Party Transactions with specific review procedures:
| Type 1transactions involving the purchase by or from the Company of products or services in the ordinary course of business in arms-length transactions. |
| Type 2transactions involving the provision of consulting, legal, accounting or financial advisory services to the Company that could compromise a directors independence. |
| Type 3transactions in which a director or officer has a direct or indirect personal interest or that create a conflict of interest for the director or officer. |
Ordinary course of business, arms-length transactions with entities on the Related Party List are deemed pre-approved by the Nominating and Governance Committee, in amounts in the aggregate for each such entity of less than 1% of the revenue of such entity or the Company. For Type 1, the Guidelines for Related Party Transactions provide that the Nominating and Governance Committee, prior to filing the Companys proxy statement, annually reviews the Related Party List, including the amount of payments to or from each related party, in comparison to the 1% threshold to ensure that the directors meet the director independence requirement. Any proposed related party transaction involving a member of the Board of Directors must be reviewed and approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. All related party transactions involving potential conflicts of interest must be reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee and approved or ratified by such Committee.
During fiscal year 2015, there were no related party transactions that exceeded the 1% threshold under the Companys Guidelines for Related Party Transactions, nor were there any related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
ADTs corporate culture is built on the premise that the Company seeks to draw the best from its employees, and that every employee, without exception, is responsible for the conduct and success of the enterprise. This includes full, accurate, candid, and timely disclosure of information and compliance with all laws and regulatory standards. The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the ethical tenor for management and the Company, and that ethical tenor works on the expectation that employees will act legally and ethically while performing work for the Company.
The Board of Directors has adopted a written Code of Conduct for directors, executive officers, and employees that is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote, among other things:
| honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with the SEC and other regulators and in our other public communications; |
| compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading compliance; and |
| accountability for adherence to the Code of Conduct and prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code, including illegal or unethical behavior regarding accounting or auditing practices. |
The Code of Conduct is reviewed periodically by all directors, executive officers, and employees, and they affirm in writing on an annual basis that they understand and are fully in compliance with it. A copy of our Code of Conduct is posted on our website at http://investors.adt.com. A copy of the Code of Conduct is available to stockholders upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at The ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.
The ADT Corporation | 2016 Proxy Statement 13 |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANYCONTINUED |
In accordance with our governance principles, the Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to create a Board of Directors that as a whole is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to vision and strategy, management and leadership, business operations, business judgment, crisis management, risk assessment, industry knowledge, accounting and finance, corporate governance and global markets. Our Board of Directors does not have a specific policy regarding diversity. Instead, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the Board of Directors overall composition when considering a potential new candidate, including whether the Board of Directors has an appropriate combination of professional experience, skills, knowledge and variety of viewpoints and backgrounds in light of our current and expected future needs. We believe that it is desirable for new candidates to contribute to a variety of viewpoints on the Board of Directors, which may be enhanced by a mix of different professional and personal backgrounds and experiences. Forty-four percent of our director nominees are women or ethnically diverse individuals.
General criteria specified in our Board Governance Principles for the nomination of director candidates include:
| the highest ethical standards and integrity; |
| a willingness to act on and be accountable for board decisions; |
| an ability to provide wise, informed and thoughtful counsel to top management on a range of issues; |
| a history of achievement that reflects superior standards for themselves and others; |
| loyalty and commitment to driving the success of ADT; |
| an ability to take tough positions while at the same time working as a team player; and |
| individual backgrounds that provide a portfolio of experience and knowledge commensurate with our needs. |
Invitations to director nominees to become a member of the Board of Directors will be extended by the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee after discussion with the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer and agreement by the other members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will consider nominations submitted by stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee may also, from time to time, utilize the services of a professional search firm, including during fiscal year 2015, to help identify potential director candidates.

Elements of Executive Compensation
The Companys total direct compensation program is comprised of three elements: base salary, annual incentive and equity-based long-term incentives. A significant majority of Executive Officers total direct compensation is performance-based and at risk. The Company also provides various benefit and retirement programs, as well as an annual executive physical for Executive Officers. The dashboard below provides an overview of the elements of the Companys executive compensation program, a brief description of each compensation element and the reason for inclusion in the executive compensation program.

Annual Incentive Compensation
Executive Officers of the Company, including each of the NEOs, are eligible to earn annual incentives under the Officer Short-Term Bonus Plan (Officer Bonus Plan). Under the Officer Bonus Plan, which is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, funding of annual incentives is based upon Company achievement against an annual Operating Income target, which is determined annually by the Compensation Committee. This funding of annual incentives represents the maximum bonus any individual Executive Officer may earn under the Officer Bonus Plan. For fiscal year 2015, each of the Companys Executive Officers was eligible for a maximum bonus under the Officer Bonus Plan equal to 0.5% of the Companys Operating Income.
After determining the Companys performance against the Operating Income criterion and the maximum bonus any individual Executive Officer may earn under the Officer Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee may apply negative discretion to the calculated maximum incentive amount to determine the bonus to be paid to each individual Executive Officer. In exercising its negative discretion, the Compensation Committee generally utilizes a guideline formula which is based upon the Companys AIP, which is the plan upon which a majority of incentive-eligible employees annual incentives are based.
The design of the Companys AIP, and the guideline formula under the Officer Bonus Plan, reflects the Companys focus as a subscriber-based business with significant recurring monthly revenues, and the metrics utilized have been selected to drive results in those categories which have the most significant impact on the success of our business. The AIP design is reviewed annually by both management and the Compensation Committee, along with input from the Compensation Committees independent compensation consultant (see page 34 for a detailed description of the role of the Compensation Committees independent compensation consultant) to determine whether any changes are warranted. Based upon this annual review, the Company adjusted the fiscal year 2015 AIP and guideline formula to incorporate several changes which were intended to strengthen the alignment between the Companys stockholders interests and those of its executives, as well as further improve the line-of-sight for its employees.
Changes to AIP and Guideline Formula for Fiscal Year 2015
For fiscal year 2015, the Company made several changes to the AIP, which are described below in the charts comparing the design changes in the AIP for fiscal year 2015 to the design in place in fiscal year 2014, as well as the rationale for the changes made to the plan design:

What was changed from Fiscal Year 2014 | Why changes were made for Fiscal Year 2015 | |
Replaced the Steady-State Free Cash Flow (SSFCF) metric with EBITDA |
We believe that EBITDA captures a greater level of impact of the value drivers of the Companys business than SSFCF. We exclude special items in order to eliminate the impact of items management believes are not indicative of the Companys core operating performance. EBITDA is a more commonly utilized metric in incentive plans in our peer group and the broader market, and is more easily understood by both investors and plan participants. | |
Repositioned the Net Attrition metric as a Customer Retention metric (the inverse of Net Attrition) |
We believe that Customer Retention provides the Companys employees with a stronger positive focus of increasing the number of customers retained compared to the positioning as a Net Attrition metric, where messaging is focused on reducing the number of customers lost. | |
Eliminated the concept of Strategic Modifiers and introduced Business Unit-level metrics for those employees (including certain of the Companys Executive Officers) who support one of the Companys Business Units, while maintaining a level of alignment to overall corporate results 50% of the funding of the annual incentive for employees supporting one of the Companys Business Units is aligned to the results of the Business Unit, with the other 50% of the funding aligned to overall corporate results |
The Strategic Modifiers in place in fiscal year 2014 were intended to focus on growth in the Companys Small Business channel and on controlling the costs related to serving customers. The introduction of Business Unit-level metrics across all of the Companys Business Units is intended to focus employees on driving results which they have more ability to impact within their respective Business Unit, while still maintaining the focus on the results of the Company as a whole. The introduction of the EBITDA before special items (Corporate) metric is intended to focus attention on controlling costs across the organization, eliminating the need for the Recurring Revenue Margin modifier. | |
Eliminated the individual objective component from the plan design and replaced with an individual performance modifier |
This change was designed to focus participants in both the Officer Bonus Plan and the AIP on overall Company (and, as applicable, Business Unit) results as the funding mechanism for annual incentives. The individual performance modifier allows management to recognize individual contributions to the overall results by adjusting incentives for individual participants up or down within the overall pool. For participants in the Officer Bonus Plan, the individual performance modifier is limited to +/-20% of their incentive target (as adjusted for business performance). |
For fiscal year 2015, the funding of annual incentive awards for Messrs. Gursahaney, Geltzeiler and Bleisch and Ms. DeVard was based solely on overall corporate results. For Mr. Ferber, President of the Residential Business Unit, and other participants in the AIP who support the Residential Business Unit, the funding of annual incentive awards was based on both overall corporate results and the results of the Residential Business Unit. For the Residential Business Unit, the Business Unit-specific metric noted in the plan design chart above was Creation Multiple, which is a metric that measures the length of time in months, on average, it takes the Company to break even on its investment in acquiring a customer account.

The following table summarizes the calculation of bonuses for fiscal year 2015 paid to each of the NEOs. In determining the awards for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee determined that each of the NEOs met or exceeded their individual objectives for fiscal year 2015, which in turn drove above-target business performance at both the Company and Residential Business Unit levels. The Compensation Committee elected to apply individual performance adjustments at target for each of the NEOs.

The Compensation Committee reviews the peer group periodically to determine whether any significant changes to the business condition of the Company or any of its peers would warrant any changes to the peer group. No changes were made to the peer group for fiscal year 2015. The peer group utilized for fiscal year 2015 was:
Allegion plc |
EarthLink Holdings Corporation | Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. | ||
Cablevision Systems Corporation |
Frontier Communications Corporation | Telephone & Data Systems, Inc. | ||
CenturyLink, Inc. |
Netflix, Inc. | The Brinks Co. | ||
Charter Communications, Inc. |
Rollins, Inc. | Tyco International Ltd. | ||
Cincinnati Bell |
SIRIUS XM Radio, Inc. | Windstream Corporation |
In addition to the peer group noted above, the Compensation Committee also considers design and practice information from a number of reference peers, including: DIRECTV, T-Mobile US, Ascent Capital Group, Diebold Inc., US Cellular Corporation and ServiceMaster. While these companies meet the subscription-based recurring revenue and primary B2C screening criteria, most of the reference peer companies have annual revenues outside the range used in the screening process.
Stock Ownership Guidelines and Share Retention Policy
The Compensation Committee believes that requiring executives to own and hold a significant amount of Company stock aligns the executives interests with those of its stockholders. The Compensation Committee has established the following stock ownership guidelines:

(4) | Stock/Unit Awards and Option Awards: The amounts in columns (e) and (f) reflect the fair value of equity awards granted in fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, which consisted of stock options, RSUs and PSUs. These amounts represent the fair value of the entire amount of the award calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 718 (ASC Topic 718), excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. Amounts were calculated based upon the price of the Companys common stock (including the impact on the value of options under the Black-Scholes option pricing model). For stock options, amounts are computed by multiplying the fair value of the award (as determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing model) by the total number of options granted. For RSUs, fair value is computed by multiplying the total number of shares subject to the award by the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. For PSUs, fair value is based on a model that considers the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant, the range of shares subject to such stock award and the estimated probabilities of vesting outcomes. The value of PSUs included in the table assumes target performance. The following amounts represent the maximum potential performance share value by individual for fiscal year 2015, determined at the time of grant (200% of the target award): Mr. Gursahaney$3,499,868; Mr. Geltzeiler$1,746,676; Ms. DeVard$931,995; Mr. Ferber$931,995; and Mr. Bleisch$553,982. |
Amounts in columns (e) and (f) for fiscal year 2014 for Mr. Geltzeiler include, in addition to the value of awards granted with respect to our annual long-term incentive plan, the value of awards representing grants of RSUs and stock options with respect to a sign-on equity award. The value of these sign-on grants included in columns (e) and (f) are $497,313 and $611,955, respectively. Amount in column (e) for fiscal year 2014 for Mr. Bleisch also includes the value of awards representing a grant of RSUs with respect to a one-time equity award in recognition of Mr. Bleischs critical role in supporting various Company governance issues. The value of this award included in column (e) is $146,853.
(5) | Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation: The amounts reported in column (g) for each NEO reflect annual cash incentive compensation for the applicable fiscal year. Annual incentive compensation for fiscal year 2015 is discussed in further detail above under the heading Annual Incentive Compensation. |
(6) | All Other Compensation: The amounts reported in column (i) represent the Companys contributions to its 401(k) RSIP and SSRP, taxable relocation benefits and associated tax gross-ups, and the value of the executive physical, as applicable. Details with respect to the amounts in this column are set forth below, in the All Other Compensation table. |

FISCAL YEAR 2015 NEO COMPENSATIONCONTINUED |
(1) | Amounts reported in columns (d) through (f) represent potential annual performance bonuses that the NEOs could have earned under the Companys Officer Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2015. The range of potential payouts is based upon the guideline formula the Compensation Committee uses to exercise its available negative discretion under the plan. The Compensation Committee established a maximum payout of 200% of target. Threshold amounts assume minimum performance levels are achieved with respect to each performance measure. |
(2) | Amounts reported in columns (g) through (i) represent potential share payouts with respect to PSU awards that were made in connection with the fiscal year 2015 long-term incentive grant. PSU awards will vest at the end of the three-year performance period, based upon the Companys performance against its EBITDA and TSR targets. The threshold amounts shown above reflect the number of shares which would be delivered assuming that threshold attainment was met for the performance metrics. The maximum amounts shown assume maximum attainment against performance metrics. PSUs accrue dividend equivalent units, but these equivalents are ultimately delivered to the recipient only to the extent that the underlying awards vest based upon performance. |
(3) | Amounts reported in column (m) show the grant date fair value of the Stock Option, RSU and PSU awards granted to the NEOs. These amounts represent the fair value of the entire amount of the award calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. For grants of Stock Options, amounts are computed by multiplying the fair value of the award (as determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing model) by the total number of options granted. For grants of RSUs, fair value is computed by multiplying the total number of shares subject to the award by the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. For grants of PSUs, fair value is based on a model that considers the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant, the range of shares subject to such stock award, and the estimated probabilities of vesting outcomes. The value of PSUs included in the table assumes target performance. However, the actual number of shares that will be delivered with respect to the PSUs will be determined based on performance through the end of the three-year performance period. |
(4) | Amounts represent grants of PSUs, RSUs and/or Stock Options with respect to the Companys annual long-term incentive plan. |
(5) | PSUs which vest subject to the Companys EBITDA performance relative to target. |
(6) | PSUs which vest subject to the Companys TSR performance relative to target. |
The Company made its annual grant of equity for fiscal year 2015 in November 2014. The annual award for each of the NEOs consisted of a mix of PSUs, RSUs and Stock Options. For Stock Options, the exercise price equals the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Stock Options granted as part of the annual award process generally vest in equal installments over a period of four years. Each option holder has 10 years to exercise his or her Stock Option from the date of grant, unless forfeited earlier. PSUs generally vest at the end of a three-year performance period, with the number of shares delivered dependent on the achievement of applicable performance criteria. Anywhere between zero and 200% of the target number of shares may be delivered based on performance. PSUs generally accrue dividend equivalent units, which are subject to the same performance conditions applicable to the underlying award, but do not carry voting rights. RSUs granted as part of the annual award process generally vest in equal installments over four years, accrue dividend equivalent units subject to the same vesting restrictions as the underlying award, and do not carry voting rights.
