Blended Rationale: A vote against is warranted as the nominee serves as the Company's CEO and Chairman and there is evidence of a poor approach on executive pay.
2 Ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as Auditors For For
3 Advisory Vote to Ratify Named Executive For Against Officers' Compensation Blended Rationale: A vote against is warranted because payments in the event of change of control are excessive:- Equity award arrangements provide for automatic accelerated vesting upon a change-in-control. Such single-trigger vesting may result in an economic windfall to the executive without an accompanying termination of employment.- The company has legacy arrangements that provide for a severance payment for each NEO if the executive voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the company, with or without good reason, within a certain period of time after a change in control. Change-in-control severance should provide a cushion to executives that experience an involuntary job loss and not a windfall to executives that voluntarily resign. Given that the problematic provision is contained in an existing arrangement that was not modified in the last fiscal year, this remains a legacy concern.

2 Advisory Vote to Ratify Named Executive For Against Officers' Compensation Blended Rationale: A vote against is warranted because awards are not subject to performance conditions:- The annual equity grants made to three NEOs (other than Catz or Ellison) lack any performance-based vesting conditions, which appears to be inconsistent with shareholders' feedback that "there should be a strong link between company performance and NEO compensation." An LTI program that is entirely time based is inconsistent with prevailing market practices.

Blended Rationale: A vote against is warranted due to a lack of disclosure provided by the compan:- The proposed long-term incentive plan is not accompanied by sufficient disclosure on the applicable performance framework;- The policy allows for sign-on awards without the company having to provide sufficient information on the terms and without apparent restrictions;- The share investment plan enables to acquire double profit rights at a fair market value without disclosing the methodology of determining the value and how this could potentially deliver value.Also note that: It is unclear whether performance conditions always apply and without certainty on the actual award level. Based on available information the board may award RSU to executives up to 5 times their base pay without performance conditions apply.
