PROXY STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of PACCAR Inc issues this proxy statement to solicit proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 30, 2002 at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Washington. This proxy statement includes information about the business matters that will be voted upon at the meeting. The proxy statement and proxy form were first sent to stockholders on or about March 19, 2002.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Voting Rights
Stockholders eligible to vote at the meeting are those identified as owners at the close of business on the record date, March 6, 2002. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all items presented at the meeting. At the close of business on March 6, 2002 the Company had 77,195,632 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Stockholders may vote in person at the meeting or by proxy. Execution of a proxy does not affect the right of a stockholder to attend the meeting. The Board recommends that stockholders exercise their right to vote by promptly completing and returning the proxy form either by mail, telephone, or the Internet.
Voting by Proxy
Mark C. Pigott and Gerald Grinstein are designated proxy holders to vote shares on behalf of stockholders at the 2002 Annual Meeting. The proxy holders are authorized to:
| vote shares as instructed by the stockholders who have properly completed and returned the proxy form; | |
| vote shares as recommended by the Board when stockholders have executed and returned the proxy form, but have given no instructions; and | |
| vote shares at their discretion on any matter not identified in the proxy form that is properly brought before the Annual Meeting. |
The Trustee for the PACCAR Inc Savings Investment Plan (the SIP Plan) votes shares held in the SIP Plan according to each members instructions on the proxy form. If the proxy form is not returned or is returned without voting instructions, the Trustee will vote the shares in direct proportion to the shares for which it has received timely voting instructions, as provided for in the SIP Plan.
Proxy Voting Procedures
The proxy form allows registered stockholders to vote in one of three ways:
Mail. Stockholders may complete, sign, date, and return the proxy form in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided.
Telephone. Stockholders may call the toll free number listed on the proxy form and follow the voting instructions given.
Internet. Stockholders may access the Internet address listed on the proxy form and follow the voting instructions given.
Telephone and Internet voting procedures authenticate each stockholder by using a control number. The voting procedures will confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. Stockholders who vote by telephone or Internet should not return the proxy form.
1
Stockholders who hold shares through a broker or agent should follow the voting instructions received from that broker or agent.
Revoking Proxy Voting Instructions. A proxy may be revoked by a later dated proxy or by written notice to the Secretary of the Company at any time before it is voted. Stockholders who hold shares through a broker should contact the broker or other agent if they wish to change their vote after executing the proxy.
Online Delivery of Annual Meeting Materials
PACCARs 2001 Annual Report and the 2002 Proxy Statement are available on PACCARs website at www.paccar.com/corp/finance.asp. Registered stockholders are able to request paper copies of the annual report and proxy statement by contacting the Companys transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, at 1.800.468.9716. Stockholders who hold PACCAR stock in street name must contact their bank or broker to receive paper copies of the annual report and proxy statement.
Registered stockholders can receive future proxy statements and annual reports in electronic format, instead of receiving paper documents, beginning in 2003, by registering at www.econsent.com/pcar/. Stockholders who hold PACCAR stock in street name may inquire of their bank or broker about the availability of electronic receipt of 2003 annual meeting materials.
Stockholders who choose electronic receipt of 2003 annual meeting materials will receive a notice when the 2003 materials become available with instructions on how to access them over the Internet.
Multiple Stockholders Sharing the Same Address
Registered stockholders at a shared address who would like to discontinue receipt of multiple copies of the annual report and proxy statement in the future should contact Wells Fargo Shareowner Services at 1.877.602.7615 or P.O. Box 64854, St Paul, Minnesota 55164-0854. Street name stockholders at a shared address who would like to discontinue receipt of multiple copies of the annual report and proxy statement in the future should contact their bank or broker.
Some street name stockholders elected to receive one copy of the 2001 Annual Report and 2002 Proxy Statement at a shared address prior to the 2002 Annual Meeting. If those stockholders now wish to change that election, they may do so by contacting their bank, broker, or PACCAR at 425.468.7520, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, Washington 98009.
Vote Required and Method of Counting Votes
The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by duly authorized proxy, of a majority of all the stock issued and outstanding and having voting power shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
Item 1: Election of Directors
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast for the election of directors. If a stockholder does not vote for the election of directors because authority to vote is withheld, because the proxy is not returned, because the broker holding the shares does not vote, or because of some other reason, the shares will not count in determining the total number of votes for each nominee. Proxies signed but returned unmarked will be voted FOR the nominees for Class I Director.
If any nominee is unable to act as director because of an unexpected occurrence, the proxy holders may vote the proxies for another person or the Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors to be elected.
Items 2, 3 and 4:
To be approved, each item must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will count as a vote against each item. Broker non-votes do not affect the voting calculations. Proxies that are signed and returned unmarked will be voted FOR items 2 and 3 and AGAINST item 4.
2
Expenses of Solicitation
Expenses for solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. Solicitation will be by mail, except for any facsimile, telephone, or personal solicitation by directors, officers, and employees of the Company, which will be made without additional compensation. The Company will request banks and brokers to solicit proxies from their customers and will reimburse those banks and brokers for reasonable out-of-pocket costs for this solicitation.

Awards are tied to achieving Company, business unit and individual goals over a three-year performance period. Company performance goals are based on the Companys financial performance relative to a select group of companies with similar business characteristics. Business unit and individual performance goals are based on financial and strategic objectives approved by the Compensation Committee on an individual basis.
The target amount will be earned if Company financial performance ranks above at least half of the selected companies and individual and business unit performance are at 100% of goal. The maximum award amount will be earned if Company financial performance ranks above all of the comparison companies and business unit and individual performance are at least 150% of goal.

The Companys noncontributory retirement plan has been in effect since 1947. The Named Officers participate in this plan on the same basis as other salaried employees. The plan provides benefits based on years of service and salary. The benefit for each year of service, up to a maximum of 35 years, is equal to 1% of salary plus 0.5% of salary in excess of the Social Security Covered Compensation level. Salary is defined as the average of the highest 60 consecutive months of an employees cash compensation, which includes those amounts reported in the Salary and Bonus columns of the Summary Compensation Table, but it excludes compensation under the LTI Plan. Years of credited service as of December 31, 2001 for the Named Officers are: M. C. Pigott, 23 years; D. J. Hovind, 35 years; M. A. Tembreull, 31 years; T. E. Plimpton, 25 years; and G. S. Moore, 32 years.
The Companys unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan provides a retirement benefit to those affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and to those deferring incentive compensation bonuses. The benefit is equal to the amount of normal pension benefit reduction resulting from the application of maximum benefit and salary limitations and the exclusion of deferred incentive compensation bonuses from the retirement plan benefit formula.
The Pension Plan Table illustrates approximate retirement benefits at age 65, based on single life annuity amounts. The benefit listed is not subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report on executive compensation:
Under the supervision of the Compensation Committee, the Company has designed its executive pay programs to provide a direct link between Company performance and executive compensation. These programs have been in use for a number of years. The compensation of executive officers under these programs is determined annually by the Compensation Committee, which is composed exclusively of independent directors.
The Company believes that its executive compensation package should be sufficient to attract and retain highly qualified executives and should provide meaningful incentives for measurably superior performance. The Companys executive compensation is comprised of three main components: (i) base salaries; (ii) annual cash bonuses intended to focus maximum effort on achieving profitability, individually assigned objectives, and the highest level of product quality; and (iii) long term incentives in the form of stock options and cash awards intended to focus efforts on achieving long term growth in net income, return on sales, and return on capital.
Base Salaries. Salary surveys provided by outside consultants are used to compare base salaries to comparable positions at companies with which the Company competes for executive talent. These surveys include data from a wide variety of Fortune 500 vehicle manufacturing and other large manufacturing companies, including some of the selected companies described in the LTI Plan discussed below (the Selected Companies). The surveys include six of the nine companies which comprise the Standard & Poors
9
Annual Cash Bonuses. Annual cash bonuses may range from 0% up to 96% of the executive officers base salary. Bonuses are awarded based upon Company performance relative to an overall profit goal and the attainment of one or more individual goals approved by the Compensation Committee. In general, these goals involve factors such as the financial performance of the business units for which the executive has direct responsibility, profitability or return on investment, as well as non-financial performance criteria such as market share improvement, product quality, new product development, production efficiencies, and similar specific individual assignments. The individual goals are changed annually, and a level of importance is assigned to each goal on a percentage basis. The calculation of the bonus takes into account both the level of achievement and the assigned importance of the goal. The achievement of each goal is determined separately, and no bonus for a specific goal is paid unless at least 70% of that goal is achieved. The bonuses earned in 2001 and paid in 2002 reflect achievement greater than 100% of the Companys overall profit goal for 2001. The annual cash bonuses and the performance goals of the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Officers are governed by the SEI Plan, which was established to ensure compliance with IRC Section 162(m).
Long Term Incentives. Given the cyclical nature of the Companys business, long term incentives are awarded under the LTI Plan based on a three-year performance period and are provided through annual grants of stock options and cash incentives. The Compensation Committee determines a target award for each executive officer, expressed as a percentage of salary at the date the award is granted. The target award is allocated 85% to stock options and 15% to the cash incentive award. Stock options become exercisable at the end of the three-year performance period and are intended to link the interests of key employees directly with stockholders interests through increased individual stock ownership. The exercise price of the stock options is the market price at the time of grant.
A significant portion (50% to 100%) of the long term cash incentive award is based on overall Company performance measured in terms of the Companys rank in compound growth of net income, return on sales, and return on capital (weighted equally) when compared to the Selected Companies. The Selected Companies have been used for this comparison for a number of years and were selected because, in the judgment of the Companys compensation consultants and the Compensation Committee, they are the most directly comparable to the Company in size and nature of business. The Selected Companies include six of the nine companies that make up the published Standard & Poors indices in the performance graph set forth below.
The remaining portion of the long term cash incentive award is based upon business unit and individual objectives that involve factors similar to those described above for the annual cash bonus, but are measured over a three-year performance cycle. The cash incentive award is based on the Committees evaluation of each executives achievement of performance objectives during the preceding three years. The target amount will be earned if the Companys financial performance ranks above at least half of the Selected Companies (the Comparative Performance Goal) and business unit and individual performance are at 100% of goal. The maximum award amount will be earned if Companys financial performance ranks above all of the Selected Companies and business unit and individual performance are at least 150% of goal. No award will be earned if Companys financial performance ranks below 75% of the Selected Companies and business unit and individual performance are below 75% of goal.
The cash awards paid in 2001 for the three-year cycle ended in 2000 reflect an achievement greater than 100% of the Comparative Performance Goal. The incentive cash awards for each executive officer for the three-year cycle ended in 2001 had not been determined on the date this proxy statement was prepared.
Chief Executive Officers Compensation. The Chief Executive Officers compensation is comprised of the same components as other executives: (i) base salary; (ii) an annual cash bonus; and (iii) a long term incentive in the form of stock options and a cash award.
10
The CEOs 2001 annual cash bonus was based entirely on the Companys profit goal. The annual bonus earned in 2001 and paid in 2002 reflects an achievement greater than 100% of the goal for 2001. The cash portion of the long term incentive was based 100% on the Companys performance during the three-year cycle as compared to the Selected Companies. For the three-year cycle ended in 2000, Company performance resulted in goal achievement greater than 100% of the Comparative Performance Goal. The incentive cash award for the three-year cycle ended in 2001 had not been determined on the date this proxy statement was prepared.
The LTI Plan and the SEI Plan are structured to allow the Company to preserve tax deductions for performance based executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

ITEM 2: PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTI PLAN) INCLUDING THE REAPPROVAL OF THE PERFORMANCE GOALS AND THE APPROVAL OF UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 3,000,000 SHARES FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE PLAN.
Introduction
The Board of Directors RECOMMENDS to the stockholders the approval of the amended and restated LTI Plan. Stockholders approved the LTI Plan in 1991 and approved amendments to the Plan in 1997. The purpose of the LTI Plan is to encourage key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to focus on long range objectives, to attract and retain key employees with exceptional qualifications, and to link key employees to stockholder interests through equity ownership and cash awards. Employees eligible to participate in the LTI Plan are key employees designated by the Compensation Committee. There are approximately 190 employees who participate in the LTI Plan including the Named Officers shown in the table on page 7.
Description of the Amendments
Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), publicly held companies may not deduct compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million in any one year for each such officer. The Code provides an exception for performance-based compensation and requires that the material terms of the performance goals be resubmitted to the stockholders every five years. The stockholders last approved the LTI Plan performance goals in 1997. The purpose of the proposal is to reapprove the performance goals under the LTI Plan for the performance-based exception to the Code and to approve an increase in the number of shares available for awards and to make certain other changes. The major changes to the restated LTI Plan are:
1. | The number of shares reserved under the LTI Plan is increased from 6,000,000 (as adjusted for dilution) to 9,000,000. As of December 31, 2001 approximately 1,900,000 shares of the 6,000,000 previously authorized remain available for future awards. |
2. | The maximum number of common shares awarded to any participant as stock Options and/or stock appreciation rights in any one year is increased from 150,000 to 250,000. Similarly, the maximum amount that may be paid to any participant in any year with respect to a long term performance cash award is increased from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. |
11
3. | Finally, the LTI Plan is amended to provide that subject to adjustment in Article 10, the exercise price of outstanding stock Options will not be modified. |
The material terms of the performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer and the other four highest compensated officers of the Company are restated without change. These goals are described in more detail under the heading Long Term Performance Cash Awards below. |
If the restated LTI Plan is not approved, the LTI Plan will continue in effect pursuant to its prior terms.
Description of the LTI Plan
The text of the amended and restated LTI Plan is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The following summary of the Plans principal features as restated does not purport to be complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, Appendix A.
Administration. The LTI Plan is and will continue to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) who are outside directors for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and nonemployee directors under SEC Rule 16b-3. The Committee selects the key employees who will receive awards, determines the amount, vesting requirements and other conditions of each award, interprets the provisions of the LTI Plan and makes all other decisions regarding the operation of the LTI Plan. The Committee may adopt policies and procedures for the implementation of the LTI Plan.
Limitation on Awards. The total number of shares of common stock authorized for Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Options to be awarded as described below is limited to 9,000,000 (subject to adjustment for dilution under Article 10 of LTI Plan). If any Restricted Shares, Stock Units or Options awarded under the LTI Plan are forfeited, or if Options terminate for any other reason prior to exercise (other than exercise of any related SAR), then they again become available for awards.
Eligibility. Persons eligible for awards under the LTI Plan consist of managerial and key employees (including officers who are also Directors) of the Company and its subsidiaries as determined by the Committee.
Types of Awards and Terms. Awards under the LTI Plan may take the form of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options, and cash. Options may include Nonstatutory Stock Options (NSOs) as well as Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) intended to qualify for special tax treatment. Both NSOs and ISOs may be granted in combination with Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs), or SARs may be added to outstanding NSOs at any time after the grant. Regular SARs are exercisable at any time after the underlying NSO or ISO becomes exercisable, while Limited SARs become exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below) with respect to the Company. Any award under the LTI Plan may include one of these elements or a combination of several elements. No payment is required upon receipt of an award, except that the recipient of newly issued Restricted Shares must pay the par value thereof to the Company. In addition, long term performance awards granted under the LTI Plan may be settled in stock issued under the LTI Plan. When granting awards, the Committee establishes when the awards can be exercised. Exercisability may be accelerated in the event of the participants death, disability or retirement or in the event of a Change in Control. Moreover, the Committee may determine that outstanding options and SARs will become fully exercisable if it has concluded that there is a reasonable possibility of a Change in Control within six months.
Stock Options. Each grant of an option shall be evidenced by a stock option agreement specifying the number of shares and the exercise price. The maximum number of shares subject to options awarded to any participant in any year shall not exceed 250,000. Stock options may be issued in the form of ISOs or NSOs. The exercise price for an ISO must not be less than the fair market value of the common share on the date of grant. The exercise price for an NSO must not be less than 85% of the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. No ISO may be exercisable after ten years. Stock options are not transferable except in the case of the optionees death or as provided by the Committee in a nonstatutory stock option agreement. The exercise price of an ISO or NSO may be paid in any lawful form permitted by the Committee, including without limitation, a promissory note or the surrender of shares of common stock or Restricted Shares already
12
Stock Appreciation Rights. Under the LTI Plan, SARs may be granted in tandem with any Options. A SAR permits the participant to elect to receive any appreciation in the value of the optioned stock from the Company. The amount payable on exercise of a SAR is measured by the difference between the market value of the stock at exercise and the exercise price of the related Option. The optionee generally must recognize ordinary income on this amount and the Company is entitled to a deduction. Upon exercise of a SAR, the corresponding portion of the related Option must be surrendered and cannot thereafter be exercised. Conversely, upon exercise of an Option to which a SAR is attached, the SAR may no longer be exercised to the extent that the corresponding Option has been exercised.
Restricted Shares and Stock Units. Restricted Shares are shares of common stock that are subject to forfeiture in the event that the applicable vesting conditions are not satisfied; they are nontransferable prior to becoming exercisable. Restricted Shares have the same voting and dividend rights as other shares of common stock. A Stock Unit is an unfunded bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent of one share of common stock; it is nontransferable prior to the holders death. A holder of Stock Units has no voting rights or other privileges as a stockholder but is entitled to receive dividend equivalents that may be converted into additional Stock Units or settled in the form of cash, common stock or a combination of both. When granting an award, the Committee determines the number of Stock Units or Restricted Shares to be included in the award as well as the conditions governing exercisability. Stock Units, when vested, may be settled by distributing shares of common stock or by a cash payment corresponding to the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock, or a combination of both.
Long Term Performance Cash Awards. The Committee may grant long term performance cash awards to any participant. Payment of cash awards will be based on the attainment of specified performance goals over a designated period in excess of one year. Performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer, and the four other highest compensated executives of the Company and such other senior executives as designated by the Committee will be based on objective criteria specifically defined by the Committee on a company, business unit or peer group comparison basis. These performance measures may include or exclude specified items of an unusual or nonrecurring nature and are based on one or more of the following: net income, return on assets, return on sales, return on capital, return on equity, cash flow, cost reduction, total shareholder return, economic value added, cash flow return on investment and cash value added. The Committee may reduce or eliminate any award otherwise earned but such reduction may not result in an increase in the award payable to any other participant. The maximum amount that may be paid to any participant in any year with respect to a long term performance cash award is $2,000,000. The Committee may permit deferral of any award and payment of previously deferred amounts in cash or Common Stock in accordance with the rules and procedures that it establishes. Performance awards may be paid in cash or in shares or any combination thereof. In the event of a Change in Control, all cash awards would be immediately vested and payable. A pro rata award would be made during a year in which a Change of Control occurs.
Protection Against Dilution. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend, an extraordinary cash dividend, or similar occurrence, a corresponding adjustment will be made in the number of shares covered by the LTI Plan, the number referred to in an outstanding award, the exercise price of each outstanding option, and the annual per person limit on the number of shares.
Change in Control. For purposes of the LTI Plan, the term Change of Control means (1) the acquisition by any person of beneficial ownership of at least 15% of the then outstanding common shares or the combined voting power of the Companys outstanding securities with certain specified exceptions, (2) a change in the composition of the Board of Directors as a result of which the incumbent directors or their duly elected successors with certain specified exceptions cease to constitute a majority of the Board, (3) a merger, consolidation or other business combination unless the Companys stockholders prior thereto retain more than 85% of the stock in the resulting corporation and at least a majority of the directors of the resulting corporation were members of the Companys Board, or (4) a complete liquidation or sale of substantially all the Companys assets with certain specified exceptions (see LTI Plan text Definitions).
13
Employment Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate the service of any employee at any time, with or without cause, subject only to a written employment agreement (if any).
Amendment or Termination. The LTI Plan originally became effective on August 15, 1991 and remains in effect until it is discontinued by the Board of Directors. ISOs may be granted under the LTI Plan only until December 4, 2011. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the LTI Plan at any time. An amendment to the Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval only to the extent required by applicable law, regulations, or rules.
Plan Benefits
Benefits payable under the LTI Plan will vary depending on the Committees discretion in granting awards and on the Companys performance against selected business criteria. Accordingly the benefits that may be payable under the LTI Plan in the future cannot be determined in advance. The following table describes the Option grants during the last completed fiscal year and cash payouts earned in the 1998-2000 performance period and paid out in 2001 with respect to certain individuals and groups. The amounts of future awards may not be similar to the amounts listed in the table.

Nonemployee directors are not eligible for awards under the LTI Plan. Options granted in 2001 become fully exercisable January 1, 2004 at $51.625 per share. The options were granted for a term of ten years unless employment is terminated prior to the end of the term. The closing trading price for Company common shares on March 6, 2002 was $76.42. The Companys common shares trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
Non-Qualified Options. Under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, no tax will be payable by the recipient of an option at the time of grant. Upon exercise of a non-qualified option, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares with respect to which the option is exercised over the total option price of such shares will be treated for federal tax purposes as ordinary income. Any profit or loss realized on the sale or exchange of any share actually received will be treated as a capital gain or loss. The Company will be entitled to deduct the amount, if any, by which the fair market value on the date of exercise of the shares with respect to which the option was exercised exceeds the exercise price.
Incentive Stock Options. With respect to an ISO, generally no taxable gain or loss will be recognized when the option is exercised (if the appreciation rights election is not made). ISOs exercised more than three months after termination of employment will be taxed in the same manner as non-qualified stock options described above. Generally, upon exercise of an ISO, the spread between the fair market value and the
14
Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon the grant of a SAR, no taxable income is realized by the holder and no deduction is available to the Company. Upon exercise of an option through a SAR, the tax consequences to the holder and the Company are the same as for exercise of a non-qualified stock option.
Exercise-Sell Election. The federal income tax consequences resulting from an exercise-sell election are the same as those resulting from making a SAR election.
Restricted Shares and Stock Units. A recipient of Restricted Shares or Stock Units generally recognizes no income upon grant unless the recipient elects to be taxed at that time. Instead, the recipient will have ordinary income at the time of vesting equal to the fair market value on the vesting date of the shares (or cash) minus any amount paid for the shares. The Company generally is entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the recipient in the year of such recognition.
Limits on Company Deductions. Under Section 162(m) of the Code, the annual compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers may not be deductible to the extent that it exceeds $1 million unless the compensation qualifies as performance based under Section 162(m). The LTI Plan has been designed to permit the Committee to grant awards that qualify as performance based for purposes of satisfying the conditions of Section 162(m).
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR ITEM 2.
ITEM 3: | PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE YEARLY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN (SEI PLAN) INCLUDING REAPPROVAL OF THE PLANS PERFORMANCE GOALS. |
Introduction
The Board of Directors RECOMMENDS to the stockholders the approval of the amended SEI Plan and the reapproval of the performance goals. The SEI Plan was first approved by stockholders in 1997. The purpose of the SEI Plan is to preserve for the Company the tax deductibility of the annual incentive compensation bonus under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) Section 162(m) for the Chief Executive Officer and the next four highest compensated officers. The SEI Plan promotes the success of the Company by focusing senior executives on achieving high quality performance, company profitability and growth.
Description of the Amendments.
Under Section 162(m) of the Code, publicly held companies may not deduct compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million in any one year for each such officer. The Code provides an exception for performance-based compensation and requires that the material terms of the performance goals be resubmitted to the stockholders every five years. The stockholders last approved the performance goals in 1997. Approval of the amended plan is necessary to allow awards subject to performance goals under the SEI Plan to continue to qualify for deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code.
Under the amended SEI Plan, the performance goals are restated without change. The Plan also is amended to increase the maximum compensation that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000.

Administration. The SEI Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the SEI Plan and adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to administer the SEI Plan. The Committee may in its sole discretion reduce or limit any award otherwise earned based on an assessment of individual performance but in no event will such reduction result in an increase of the award payable to any other participant.
Plan Benefits. Participants are eligible to earn incentive cash awards based solely on the attainment of specified performance goals established by the Committee during the first 90 days of the SEI Plan year. Performance goals will be based on objective criteria specifically defined by the Committee on a Company, business unit or peer group comparison basis which may include or exclude specified items of an unusual and nonrecurring nature and are based on one or more of the following: net income, return on assets, return on sales, return on capital, return on equity, sales growth, market share, cash flow, cost reduction, total shareholder return, economic value added, cash flow return on investment and cash value added. Actual goal attainment will be certified in writing by the Committee before payout. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the SEI Plan is $2,000,000.
Change of Control. In the event of a change of control, each participant will be entitled to the maximum award opportunity prorated on the basis of the number of full or partial months completed prior to the Change of Control during the SEI Plan year in which the change of control occurs. (Change of Control is defined in Section 10(b) of the SEI Plan document.)
Amendment or Termination. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the SEI Plan at any time. An amendment of the SEI Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company stockholders only to the extent required by applicable law, regulations, or rules. No award shall be granted under the SEI Plan after the SEI Plan is terminated.
Employment Rights. No action taken pursuant to the SEI Plan shall be evidence that the Company will employ any individual for any period of time in any position or at any particular rate of compensation.
Termination of Employment. Participants who retire, resign or are terminated before the end of the SEI Plan year are not eligible for an award for that SEI Plan year. In the event of death or disability, payout will be prorated based on the actual goal achievement and salary received for the portion of the year worked.
Effective Date. The amended SEI Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 2002, subject to approval of the Company stockholders at the 2002 Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR ITEM 3.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Ernst & Young LLP performed the audit of the Companys financial statements for 2001 and has been selected to perform this function for 2002. Partners from the Seattle office of Ernst & Young LLP will attend the Annual Meeting, and will have the opportunity to make statements if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report:
The Audit Committee is comprised of four members, each of whom meets the independence and financial literacy requirements of the NASDAQ Rules. It adopted a written charter outlining its responsibilities that was approved by the Board of Directors.
Among the Committees responsibilities is the selection and evaluation of the independent auditors and the review of the financial statements. The Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year with management. In addition, the Committee discussed under SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU § 380) all matters required to be discussed with the independent auditors Ernst & Young LLP. The Committee received from Ernst & Young LLP the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with them their independence from the Company. Based on the Audit Committees review of the audited financial statements and its discussions with management and the independent auditors, the Committee recommends to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report (10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2001, and be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
17
The Committee considered whether services provided by its principal accountant, Ernst & Young LLP, are compatible with its position as independent auditor. The services provided are as follows:
Audit Fees
In the year ended December 31, 2001, the independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, billed the Company $1.2 million for professional services rendered for the audit of the Companys annual financial statements included in the Companys Form 10-K and reviews of the financial statements included in the Companys Forms 10-Q.
Audit Related Fees
In the year ended December 31, 2001, Ernst & Young LLP billed the Company $0.5 million for audit related professional services. These services include statutory audits of foreign subsidiaries, audits of employee benefit plans and other assurance services not directly related to the audit of the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees
In the year ended December 31, 2001, Ernst & Young LLP performed no professional services for information technology systems design and implementation.
All Other Fees
In the year ended December 31, 2001, Ernst & Young LLP billed the Company $0.9 million related to other professional services. These services primarily include tax compliance.

The following line graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total shareowner return on the Companys common stock to the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poors Composite-500 Stock Index and an equally-weighted simple average of the Standard & Poors Heavy-Duty Trucks & Parts and the Standard & Poors Machinery (Diversified) indices (as reported on the Bloomberg data service) for the period of five fiscal years commencing December 31, 1996 and ending December 31, 2001. Management believes that the blending of these two indices provides a better comparison than either of the indices alone because the Companys performance can be compared to a larger number of comparable

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Company has been advised that one stockholder intends to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting. The Company will furnish the name, address and number of shares held by the proponent of the following stockholder proposal upon receipt of a written or oral request for such information to the Secretary.
In accordance with the proxy regulations, the following is the complete text of the proposal exactly as submitted. The Company accepts no responsibility for the proposal.
ITEM 4: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN.
PACCAR shareholders recommend that the company implement a policy that shareholders have a right or opportunity to vote yes or no on maintaining or adopting a poison pill. This unified policy includes redemption or termination of any current PACCAR poison pill.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT: | |
Shareholder right to vote on poison pills won an impressive 44%-vote of the yes-no vote at the 1999 PACCAR shareholder meeting the first time on the PACCAR ballot. Arguably this vote could have exceeded a majority if 35% of company stock was not controlled by management and managements |

affiliates. In contradiction to this impressive vote, the board adopted a 10-year poison pill that does not expire until 2009. | |
Why submit the PACCAR poison pill to a shareholder vote? |
| Pills give directors absolute veto power over any proposed business combination, no matter how beneficial it might be for the shareholders. | ||
Power and Accountability By Nell Minow and Robert Monks Source: www.thecorporatelibrary.com/power from www.thecorporatelibrary.com |
| Shareholder right to vote on poison pill proposals won greater than 57% yes-no votes from shareholders of major companies in 1999 and 2000. | |

SHAREHOLDER VOTE ON POISON PILLS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 4 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The Board of Directors (the Board) maintains a shareholder rights plan (poison pill) to ensure that the Companys stockholders will receive fair value for their investment in the Company in the event of a change in control or takeover. Similar rights plans (poison pills) have been adopted by a majority of the corporations included in the Fortune 500.
The Board initially adopted a shareholder rights plan in December 1989. The Board adopted a new rights plan that became effective in February 1999 (the Rights Plan). The Rights Plan was renewed because the Board of Directors continues to believe that it is in the best interests of the stockholders.
The Rights Plan encourages potential acquirers to negotiate in good faith directly with the Board, which is in the best position to evaluate the adequacy and fairness of proposed offers, and to negotiate on behalf of all stockholders.
The Rights Plan is designed to protect stockholders against potential abuses during the takeover process, such as creeping acquisitions of the Companys stock in the open market, hostile tender offers made at less than full and fair price, partial tender offers that discriminate among stockholders, and other abusive practices that can be used to deprive all stockholders of the ability to get a full and fair price for all of their shares.
The Rights Plan is not intended to and will not prevent a takeover on terms determined by the Board to be fair and equitable to all stockholders, nor is it intended as a deterrent to a stockholders initiation of a proxy contest. If the Board determines that an offer adequately reflects the value of the Company and is in the best interests of all stockholders, the Plan provides that the Board may redeem the Rights.
Delaware law imposes a fiduciary duty on the Board to act in the best interests of the Companys stockholders and to oppose unfair takeover offers. Courts have recognized that rights plans are a useful and legitimate tool available to directors in fulfilling these fiduciary responsibilities to stockholders. The Companys directors are well aware of their fiduciary duties and responsibilities to the Companys stockholders when evaluating the merits of any acquisition proposal.
20
The adoption of a shareholder rights plan does not require shareholder approval. The Board believes that the extension or adoption of a shareholder rights plan is appropriately within the scope of responsibilities of the Board, acting on behalf of the stockholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 4.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2003

Box 1518, Bellevue, Washington 98009 by the close of business on November 19, 2002 to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Companys 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

APPENDIX A
PACCAR Inc LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION.
The Plan was first adopted by the Board on February 11, 1991 and approved by the Companys stockholders in 1991. Amendments to the Plan were approved by the stockholders in 1997. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Key Employees to focus on critical long range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Key Employees with exceptional qualifications, and (c) linking Key Employees directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options (which may constitute incentive stock options (ISO) or nonstatutory stock options (NSO)), stock appreciation rights, or cash. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATION.
2.1. Committee Composition. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist exclusively of two (2) or more directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. In addition, the composition of the Committee shall satisfy:
(a) Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (as amended from time to time) under the Exchange Act; and | |
(b) Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. |
2.2. Committee Responsibilities. The Committee shall (a) select the Key Employees who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements, and other conditions of such Awards, (c) interpret the Plan, and (d) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committees determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.
ARTICLE 3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.
Any Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Options awarded under the Plan shall not exceed nine million (9,000,000). If any Restricted Shares, Stock Units, or Options are forfeited or if any Options terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then such Restricted Shares, Stock Units or Options shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. However, if Options are surrendered upon the exercise of related SARs, then such Options shall not be restored to the pool available for Awards. Any dividend equivalents distributed under the Plan shall not be applied against the number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, or Options available for Awards, whether or not such dividend equivalents are converted into Stock Units. The limitation of this Article 3 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10.
ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY.
Only Key Employees shall be eligible for designation as Participants. A Key Employee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless the requirements set forth in section 422(c)(5) of the Code are satisfied.
ARTICLE 5. OPTIONS.
5.1. Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable
A-1
5.2. Transferability. No Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by will, or by a beneficiary designation executed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company, or by the laws of descent and distribution unless the Committee provides otherwise in a nonstatutory stock option agreement. An Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him or her or by his or her guardian or legal representative unless the Committee provides otherwise in a nonstatutory stock option agreement. No Option or interest therein may be, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
5.3. Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares subject to the Option provided that the maximum number of Common Shares awarded to any participant in any year shall be two hundred fifty thousand (250,000). The Stock Option Agreement shall provide for the adjustment of such number including the maximum number in accordance with Article 10.
5.4. Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price under an ISO shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant, and the Exercise Price under an NSO shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the average closing price of a Common Share for the five (5) trading days of the week immediately preceding the week during which the Committee meeting is held at which the grant is made. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10, the Exercise Price of outstanding Options fixed by the Committee shall not be modified.
5.5. Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionees death, disability or retirement and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionees service. NSOs may also be awarded in combination with Restricted Shares or Stock Units, and such an Award may provide that the NSOs will not be exercisable unless the related Restricted Shares or Stock Units are forfeited.
5.6. Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option (and any SARs included therein) shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. If the Committee finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the next six (6) months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the Company, then the Committee may determine that all outstanding Options (and any SARs included therein) shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such Options.
5.7. Modification or Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.
ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.
6.1. General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash at the time when such Common Shares are purchased, except as follows:
(a) In the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, payment shall be made only pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement may specify that payment may be made in any form(s) described in this Article 6. |
A-2
(b) In the case of an NSO, the Committee may at any time accept payment in any form(s) described in this Article 6. |
6.2. Surrender of Stock. To the extent that this Section 6.2 is applicable, payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made with Common Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Common Shares are purchased under the Plan.
6.3. Exercise/Sale. To the extent that this Section 6.3 is applicable, payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Common Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.
6.4. Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that this Section 6.4 is applicable, payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Common Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.
6.5. Promissory Note. To the extent that this Section 6.5 is applicable, payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made with a full-recourse promissory note; provided that the par value of newly issued Common Shares must be paid in lawful money of the U.S. at the time when such Common Shares are purchased.
6.6. Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that this Section 6.6 is applicable, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.
ARTICLE 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
7.1. Grant of SARs. Each Option granted under the Plan may include an SAR. Such SAR shall entitle the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the Option after the Optionees death) to surrender to the Company, unexercised, all or any part of that portion of the Option which then is exercisable and to receive from the Company Common Shares or cash, or a combination of Common Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. If an SAR is exercised, the number of Common Shares remaining subject to the related Option shall be reduced accordingly, and vice versa. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of an SAR shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the surrendered portion of the Option exceeds the Exercise Price. In no event shall any SAR be exercised if such Fair Market Value does not exceed the Exercise Price. An SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or at any subsequent time.
7.2. Exercise of SARs. An SAR may be exercised to the extent that the Option in which it is included is exercisable, subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 16b-3 (as amended from time to time) under the Exchange Act. If, on the date when an Option expires, the Exercise Price under such Option is less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such Option has not been exercised or surrendered, then any SAR included in such Option shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. An Option granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable as an SAR only in the event of a Change in Control.
ARTICLE 8. RESTRICTED SHARES AND STOCK UNITS.
8.1. Time, Amount, and Form of Awards. Restricted Shares or Stock Units with respect to an Award Year may be granted during such Award Year or at any time thereafter. Awards under the Plan may be granted in the form of Restricted Shares, in the form of Stock Units, or in any combination of both. Restricted Shares or Stock Units may also be awarded in combination with NSOs, and such an Award may provide that the Restricted Shares or Stock Units will be forfeited in the event that the related NSOs are exercised.
A-3
8.2. Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient shall be required to pay the Company in lawful money of the U.S. an amount equal to the par value of such Restricted Shares. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units or treasury shares, no cash consideration shall be required of Award recipients.
8.3. Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall become vested, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participants death, disability, or retirement. The Committee may determine, at the time of making an Award or thereafter, that such Award shall become fully vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
8.4. Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in any combination of both. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10.
8.5. Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipients death shall be distributed to the recipients beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipients death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipients death shall be distributed to the recipients estate.
8.6. Creditors Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Award Agreement.
ARTICLE 9. VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS.
9.1. Restricted Shares. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend, and other rights as the Companys other stockholders. A Stock Award Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Such additional Restricted Shares shall not reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3.
9.2. Stock Units. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan shall carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach.
ARTICLE 10. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.
10.1. Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spinoff or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate
A-4
10.2. Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Options, Restricted Shares, and Stock Units shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving corporation), for accelerated vesting, or for settlement in cash.
ARTICLE 11. LONG TERM PERFORMANCE AWARDS.
11.1. The Committee may grant long term performance cash awards to any Participant in its sole discretion. Payment of cash awards will be based on the attainment of specified performance goals over a designated performance period in excess of one year. Performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer, the other four (4) highest compensated officers of the Company and such other senior executives as designated by the Committee will be based on objective criteria specifically defined by the Committee on a Company, business unit or peer group comparison basis, which may include or exclude specified items of an unusual or nonrecurring nature and are based on one or more of the following: net income, return on assets, return on sales, return on capital, return on equity, cash flow, cost reduction, total shareholder return, economic value added, cash flow return on investment, and cash value added.
11.2. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate any award otherwise earned based on an assessment of individual performance, but in no event may any such reduction result in an increase of the award payable to any other participant. The Committee shall determine the amount of any such reduction by taking into account such factors as it deems relevant including, without limitation: (i) performance against other financial or strategic objectives; (ii) its subjective assessment of the executives overall performance for the year; and (iii) prevailing levels of total compensation among similar companies. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible Participant in any year with respect to a long term performance cash award is two million dollars ($2,000,000).
11.3.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE YEARLY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
1. PURPOSE
The Plan was first approved by the Companys stockholders in 1997. The purpose of the Senior Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan is to promote the success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by (a) encouraging senior executives to focus maximum effort on achieving high-quality performance objectives, Company profitability, and continued Company growth, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of senior executives with exceptional qualifications and (c) preserving for the Company the benefit of federal income tax deductions with respect to annual incentive compensation paid to senior executives.
2. ELIGIBILITY
The Companys chief executive officer, the next four highest compensated officers of the Company as defined under Section 162(m) of the Code, and such other senior executives as designated by the Committee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
3. ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Committee shall consist exclusively of two or more directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. In addition, the composition of the Committee shall satisfy:
(a) Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act; and | |
(b) Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under a plan intended to qualify for exemption under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. |
The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the Plan and make all other decisions relating to the operations of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to administer the Plan. The Committees determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.
4. AWARD DETERMINATION
Incentive awards paid under the Plan will be based solely on the attainment of specified performance goals established by the Committee during the first 90 days of the Plan Year. Performance goals will be based on objective criteria specifically defined by the Committee on a Company, business unit or peer group comparison basis, which may include or exclude specified items of an unusual or non-recurring nature and are based on one or more of the following: net income, return on assets, return on sales, return on capital, return on equity, sales growth, market share, cash flow, cost reduction, total shareholder return, economic value added, cash flow return on investment and cash value added. Performance goals may include a minimum, maximum and target level of performance with the size of individual awards, if any, based on the level attained. Actual goal attainment will be certified in writing by the Committee before payout.
The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate any award otherwise earned based on an assessment of individual performance, but in no event may any such reduction result in an increase of the award payable to any other participant. The Committee shall determine the amount of any such reduction by taking into account such factors as it deems relevant including, without limitation: (i) performance against other financial or strategic objectives; (ii) its subjective assessment of the executives overall performance for the year; and (iii) prevailing levels of total compensation among similar companies. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the Plan is $2,000,000.
