32. Page 30 Executive pay 1 of 10 FLAWS IN CURRENT PACKAGES The nature of awards and excessive leveraging. Lack of discipline in setting targets and assessing performance. Failure of incentive plans to match timing of payments with risk realization. Failure to integrate risk into incentive plans.
33. Page 31 Executive pay 2 of 10 FINANCIAL STABILITY FORUM PRINCIPLES The board must actively oversee the compensation system’s design and operation. The board must monitor and review the compensation system to ensure it operates as intended. Employees engaged in financial and risk control must be independent, have appropriate authority and be compensated in a manner that is independent of the business areas they oversee and commensurate with their key role in the firm.
34. Page 32 Executive pay 3 of 10 FINANCIAL STABILITY FORUM PRINCIPLES Compensation must be adjusted for all types of risk. Compensation outcomes must be symmetric with risk outcomes. Compensation pay-out schedules must be sensitive to the time horizon of risks-mix of cash, equity and other forms of compensation must be consistent with risk alignment.
35. Page 33 Executive pay 4 of 10 FINANCIAL STABILITY FORUM PRINCIPLES Supervisory review of compensation practices must be rigorous and sustained, and deficiencies must be addressed promptly with supervisory action. Firms must disclose clear, comprehensive and timely information about their compensation practices to facilitate constructive engagement by all stakeholders.
36. Page 34 Executive pay 5 of 10 DRAWBACKS WITH CLAWBACKS A clawback does not encourage prudent performance. It punishes after the fact, which, perversely, can increase business risk by deterring disclosure, a situation that might result in the application of the clawback. Expanding the clawback to deal with excessive risk taking is difficult because the focus needs to be on risk-taking behaviour rather than on an occasional poor result.
37. Page 35 Executive pay 6 of 10 DRAWBACKS WITH CLAWBACKS A clawback forces the company to recover funds from the employee, which is legally and practically difficult. Courts are unlikely to enforce clawbacks unless they are clear and unambiguous. Moreover, the company will need to incur legal and other costs to recover incentive amounts, and the employee may no longer have the funds to repay the amount. Dealing properly with taxation of a clawed-back bonus is complex.
38. Page 36 Executive pay 7 of 10 SYNCHRONIZING THE TIMING OF PAYMENT & RISK REALIZATION Payment of incentives based on results net of realized risks, with payment deferred until the associated risks have been realized. This provides for an integrated result and risk-based incentive. Payment of incentives based on results, with payment held in escrow until the end of the risk realization period. However, it can be complex to assess the effect and quantum risk and properly define the risk-realization period.
39. Page 37 Executive pay 8 of 10 SYNCHRONIZING THE TIMING OF PAYMENT & RISK REALIZATION Payment of incentives in the form of share-based compensation, with the shares held in escrow until the end of the risk-realization period. This allows share price to be a proxy for the real cost of realized risk, which can materially simplify the plan.
40. Page 38 Executive pay 9 of 10 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE Establishing plan terms, set up and targets. Assessing expected pay-out levels. Monitoring performance against expectations and financial realities. Correcting errors. Having the courage to exercise discretion in both directions (increase payments when a plan does not generate a payment in deserved circumstances and decrease payments when the plan terms provide for overpayment).
41. Page 39 Executive pay 10 of 10 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE Allowing discretion requires real trust between the board and the executives, because the flexibility must be in the plan, and with it comes the risk that the board may reduce compensation even when targets are met.

60. Page 58 What does the future hold? 1 of 2 The dampening impact on salaries caused by the 2009 economic crisis is subsiding. Most employers are expecting to be in a position to afford more aggressive salary increases than they have implemented in recent years; though not to the same levels as experienced before the economic downturn.
61. Page 59 What does the future hold? 2 of 2 Most employers are deciding it is important to reward employees with more substantial salary increases in 2011. There will be more salary increase dollars available in 2011 to reward and retain top performers. Assuming the economy continues to demonstrate recovery, given the upward momentum highlighted in the survey results so far, it is likely that actual salary increase budgets implemented in 2011 will exceed these preliminary levels.
