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 25, 2006, 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 14, 2006.
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, February 28, 2006. Each outstanding share of common
stock is entitled to one vote on all items presented at the
meeting. At the close of business on February 28, 2006, the
Company had 169,702,949 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 John M. Fluke, Jr. are designated proxy
holders to vote shares on behalf of stockholders at the 2006
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)
votes shares held in the SIP 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.
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 2005 annual report and the 2006 proxy statement
are available on PACCARs website at
www.paccar.com/financials.asp. Registered stockholders
who previously elected to receive these documents electronically
and now wish to receive paper copies of the annual report and
proxy statement may contact the Companys transfer agent,
Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, at 1.800.468.9716 or visit
www.econsent.com/pcar/. Stockholders who hold PACCAR
stock in street name must contact their bank or broker to change
their election and 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, 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 future annual meeting materials.
Stockholders who choose electronic receipt of annual meeting
materials will receive a notice when the proxy 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
2005 Annual Report and 2006 Proxy Statement at a shared address
prior to the 2006 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 the 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. The Companys Certificate of
Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Proxies
signed but returned unmarked will be voted FOR the
nominees for Class II 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.
2
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 nonvotes do not affect the voting
calculations. Proxies that are signed and returned unmarked will
be voted FOR Items 2 and 3 and AGAINST
Items 4 and 5.
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.

The Company also paid non-employee directors a fee of $7,500 for
each Board meeting attended and $5,000 for each committee
meeting attended (including four meetings held by telephone). A
single meeting attendance fee was paid when a board and
committee meeting were held on the same day. Non-employee
directors may elect to defer all or a part of their cash
retainer and fees to an income account or to a stock unit
account under the RSDC Plan.

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 peer 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 peer companies and business
unit and individual performance are at least 150% of goal. No
award will be earned if the Companys financial performance
ranks below 75% of the peer companies and business unit and
individual performance are below 75% 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 LTIP. Years of credited service as of
December 31, 2005 for the Named Officers are: M. C. Pigott,
27 years; M. A. Tembreull, 35 years; T. E. Plimpton,
29 years; J. G. Cardillo, 15 years; and K. R. Gangl,
6 years. Under his hiring agreement, if Mr. Gangl
remains employed for eight years, he will receive seven
additional service years under the plan.
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.

nonstatutory stock options), stock appreciation rights or cash,
as well as deferred cash awards payable in stock and
(b) 446,019 shares under the RSDC Plan that provides
for annual grants of restricted stock, as well as deferred cash
awards payable in stock. |
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
Committee) has furnished the following report on
executive compensation.
The Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving total
compensation programs and levels for the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and its executive officer group, which
includes (but is not limited to) the Named Executive Officers
shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 7. The
Committees responsibilities are specified in the
Compensation Committee Charter, and can be found on the
Companys website (at
www.paccar.com/bc/committeescharters.asp).
Total Compensation Approach and Guiding Principles
The Board of Directors believes that the Companys
executive compensation should be competitive with companies that
operate in the same lines of business in the U.S. and
internationally. The Board also believes that the Companys
compensation program should attract and retain high-quality
executives with incentives linked to performance, which align
the interests of management with those of stockholders. Our goal
is to achieve superior performance which can be measured against
our industry peers, and our compensation programs should reflect
this intent.
Under the supervision of the Committee, which is composed
exclusively of independent non-management Directors, the Company
has utilized compensation programs which have sought to meet
these objectives for many years. They have comprised three main
components:
|
|
|
|
|
Base salaries; |
|
|
|
Annual cash bonuses which focus on the attainment of
profitability, individual objectives and the highest level of
product quality; and |
10
|
|
|
|
|
An equity and cash based Long-Term Incentive Plan
(LTIP) focusing on long-term growth in overall shareholder
value creation, including total shareholder return as well as
net income, return on sales and return on capital. |
A description of PACCARs unfunded Supplemental Retirement
Plan can be found on page 9 (the plan provides a retirement
benefit to those senior managers affected by the maximum benefit
limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal
Revenue Code and other qualified plan benefit limitations).
Apart from these programs, the Company does not provide any
other significant perquisites or executive benefits. The
Committee believes that these programs have served the Company
and its stockholders well.
Compensation Comparison Groups
The Committee considers a number of factors when reviewing and
determining target and actual compensation, including Company
performance, individual performance and pay practices for
executive talent among similar organizations. To determine
whether compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other
executive officers is competitive with the external market, the
Committee receives information from published compensation
surveys (including surveys provided by outside consultants).
This information is used to compare pay levels to comparable
positions at companies with which the Company competes for
executive talent.
The surveys include data from a wide variety of
Fortune-500 capital goods and large manufacturing
companies, including all of the selected companies (the
Peer Companies) that comprise the index used in the
stock performance graph set forth later in this proxy statement:
ArvinMeritor Inc., Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., Dana
Corporation, Deere & Company, Eaton Corporation,
Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, Navistar International
Corporation, and Oshkosh Truck Corporation. The Peer Companies
are chosen because, in the judgment of the Committee (and the
Companys outside consultants), they are the most directly
comparable to the Company in size and nature of business; the
group may vary from time to time based on the Committees
regular review. The Committee believes it is important to
include companies that make up the Peer Group Index as well as
organizations with which the Company competes in the broader
market for executive talent.
Base Salaries
Salaries for the CEO and other officers are reviewed each year.
The Committee may or may not approve changes to base salaries
based on an assessment of individual and company performance, as
well as competitive pay levels. According to the surveys
mentioned above, base salaries of the Companys executive
officers, including its Chief Executive Officer, are within the
median range of the salaries paid to executives at the companies
included in the surveys.
Annual Cash Bonuses
Chief Executive Officer and Other Named Executive
Officers. Cash bonuses are awarded under the Senior
Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan (the Senior
Executive Plan) (approved by stockholders) based on
Company performance relative to an overall net profit goal
established annually by the Committee. The Committee in its sole
discretion may reduce or eliminate any award otherwise earned by
the Chief Executive Officer or a Named Executive Officer based
on an assessment of individual performance.
All Other Executive Officers. Annual cash bonuses are
awarded based upon Company performance relative to an overall
net profit goal approved by the Committee and the attainment of
one or more individual goals approved by the Chief Executive
Officer. In general, these goals involve targets 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
11
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.
2005 Annual Cash Bonuses. Annual cash bonus opportunities
for 2005 ranged from 0% up to 157% of the executive
officers base salary. This range reflected an increase to
the target and maximum award percentages approved by the
Committee (and effective in 2005) as a result of competitive
survey information provided by an outside consultant. The
analyses concluded that the annual bonuses for the executive
officers as a group were below market levels. The maximum annual
bonus award under the Senior Executive Plan was increased from
$2,000,000 to $4,000,000, subject to stockholder approval of the
amendments at the 2006 annual meeting. The bonuses earned by
executive officers in 2005 and paid in 2006 reflect achievement
greater than 100% of the Companys overall profit goal for
2005.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
Given the cyclical nature of the Companys business,
long-term incentives are awarded under the LTIP based on a
three-year performance period and are provided through annual
grants of stock options and cash incentive awards. The Committee
determines a target award for each executive officer, expressed
as a percentage of salary on the date the award is granted.
Stock options. The portion of the target LTIP award
allocated to stock options varies from 71% to 79%. 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.
Long-Term Cash Incentive. The remaining portion of the
target LTIP award is allocated to the long-term cash incentive.
The long-term cash incentive award for the Chief Executive
Officer and the other Named Executive Officers is subject to
satisfaction of an overall net profit goal established by the
Committee. In addition, the Committee may reduce or eliminate
any award otherwise earned based on an assessment of individual
performance and other factors. A portion (25% to 100%) of the
award is based on overall Company performance measured in terms
of the Companys rank in three-year compound growth of net
income, return on sales, and return on capital (weighted
equally) when compared to the Peer Companies. As described in
Compensation Comparison Groups above, the Peer
Companies are the same nine companies that make up the Peer
Group Index in the stock performance graph set forth below.
The remaining portion of the long-term cash incentive award is
based upon individual and business unit objectives that involve
factors similar to those described above for the annual cash
bonus, measured over a three-year performance cycle. The cash
incentive award is based on the Committees evaluation of
each executives achievement of individual 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 Peer Companies (the
Comparative Performance Goal) and business unit and
individual performance are at 100% of goal. The maximum cash
award amount will be earned if the Companys financial
performance ranks above all of the Peer Companies and business
unit and individual performance are at least 150% of goal. No
award will be earned if the Companys financial performance
ranks below 75% of the Peer Companies and business unit and
individual performance are below 75% of goal.
Long-Term Cash Awards Paid in 2005. The long-term cash
incentive awards paid in 2005, for the three-year cycle
2002-2004, reflect an achievement greater than 100% of the
Comparative Performance Goal. The cash incentive awards for each
Executive Officer for the three-year cycle ended in 2005 had not
been determined on the date this proxy statement was prepared.
LTIP Changes for 2006. The survey information by an
outside consultant concluded that long-term incentives were
below the median market levels. As a result, the Committee
approved an increase to the LTIP target award percentage for
executive officers effective for the 2006-2008 performance
cycle. A more detailed description of proposed changes to the
2006 LTIP program can be found under 2005 Compensation
Review and Proposed Changes for 2006 below.
12
Chief Executive Officers Compensation.
The Chief Executive Officers 2005 compensation was
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.
Base Salary. The Chief Executive Officers base
salary did not change during 2005.
Annual Cash Bonus. The Chief Executive Officers
2005 annual cash bonus was based entirely on the Companys
net profit goal. The annual bonus earned in 2005 and paid in
2006 reflects the Companys record profit achievement,
which was greater than 100% of the goal for 2005.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP): Stock Options. Based on
the portion of the Chief Executive Officers target LTIP to
be allocated to stock options, he received an award of 76,908
stock options in 2005. This represented approximately 18.5% of
all stock options granted by the Company during the year.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP): Cash Incentive. The cash
portion of the long-term incentive was based 100% on the
Companys performance during the three-year cycle as
compared to the Peer Companies. For the three-year cycle
2002-2004, Company performance resulted in goal achievement
greater than 100% of the Comparative Performance Goal. The cash
incentive award for the three-year cycle ended in 2005 had not
been determined on the date this proxy statement was prepared.
Chief Executive Officers Compensation Changes for
2006. A description of proposed changes to the CEOs
2006 compensation program can be found under 2005
Compensation Review and Proposed Changes for 2006 below.
2005 Compensation Review and Proposed Changes for 2006
In early 2005 the Companys centennial
year it was apparent that PACCAR had achieved a
consistent level of superior performance for nearly a decade,
both in absolute terms and when compared to its industry peers.
Accordingly, the Committee decided to undertake a detailed
review of the Companys executive compensation programs to
determine whether they were still competitive and, if not, to
introduce improvements and new features which would meet the
Boards objectives going forward. To assist the Committee
in this work, experienced independent professional consultants
were retained who had no previous relationship with the Company,
thus ensuring an independent and objective process.
For the first phase of the process, the consultants reviewed the
Companys historical performance and the Chief Executive
Officers and senior executive pay levels. This
demonstrated that:
|
|
|
|
|
Over the past 10 years the Companys total shareholder
return and operating performance had been at or near the top of
the Companys peer group, and that of a broader group of
motor vehicle companies. |
|
|
|
Over the previous 1, 3 and 5 years in particular, the
Companys performance had been exceptional when compared
with the competition. |
|
|
|
Total compensation for the Companys Chief Executive
Officer had been significantly below the competitive
50th and 75th percentiles over the previous
3 years. |
|
|
|
The Chief Executive Officers pay gap was primarily due to
ongoing target bonus and long-term incentive opportunities being
below competitive levels. |
In summary, while the Company had delivered consistently
excellent results which outperformed the competition, the Chief
Executive Officers compensation had become increasingly
uncompetitive. Although the compensation of the remainder of the
senior executive team had remained reasonably competitive, it
also did not truly reflect the Companys consistently
superior performance.
13
A review of the three main components of executive compensation
outlined above resulted in the following conclusions and
recommendations:
|
|
|
|
|
The structure of base salaries, annual cash bonuses and the
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) was sound. |
|
|
|
Base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior
executives were competitive. |
|
|
|
The target annual bonus opportunity as a percentage of base
salary should be improved, particularly for the Chief Executive
Officer who should be moved up to the competitive
75th percentile. |
|
|
|
The long-term incentives, and particularly for the Chief
Executive Officer, should be increased with the Chief Executive
Officer being positioned at the competitive 75th percentile
and that: |
|
|
|
|
|
Stock options and cash should
continue to be used in the LTIP program; and
|
|
|
|
Restricted stock grants should be
introduced into the LTIP program.
|
Restricted stock grants would be made annually subject to
achievement of an annual performance hurdle determined in
advance by the Compensation Committee (based on return on sales
for the first cycle). Restricted stock grants would vest
25% per year over a four-year period starting in 2007.
The Committee has recognized the shortfall in the Chief
Executive Officers annual bonus opportunity and long-term
incentives over several years when compared with the
competition both the Peer Companies and a wider
industry group. After consultation with the independent
consultants, the Committee plans to introduce a new feature of
an Ownership Initiative linked to performance which would
align the interests of the participants with those of the
stockholders.
Under the Ownership Initiative, an award of Restricted
Shares can be made each quarter as part of a Share Match
program. If a participant acquires shares at full market value
either by exercising stock options or through open market
purchases, Restricted Shares will be awarded equal to the number
of shares acquired subject to the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
|
A maximum of 250,000 Restricted Shares may be awarded as Match
Shares to a single individual under the program. |
|
|
|
A maximum of 100,000 Restricted Match Shares may be awarded to a
single individual in any one calendar year. |
|
|
|
Restricted Match Shares would vest after 5 years subject to
an earnings per share growth performance threshold over the
five-year period determined by the Compensation
Committee in advance being achieved relative to the
Peer Group. |
|
|
|
All Restricted Match Shares will be forfeited if the performance
threshold is not achieved or if the individual terminates
employment with the Company during the vesting period (with
certain exceptions). If the committed (matched) shares are
sold before vesting an equal number of Restricted Match Shares
will be forfeited. |
For 2006, only the Chief Executive Officer will be eligible to
participate in the Share Match Program.
The Peer Group referred to above currently consists of the nine
Peer Companies described in Compensation Comparison
Groups above. All performance goals and thresholds will be
determined in advance by the Committee, who will also verify
whether these have been achieved.
Both the annual performance-based restricted stock program and
the Share Match Program are subject to stockholder approval of
the LTIP proposal at the 2006 annual stockholders meeting.
The Committee believes that the initiatives described in this
report and the enhanced compensation opportunities introduced
into the Senior Executive Plan and the LTIP, linked as they are
to company and individual performance, will motivate management
in its endeavors to sustain the Companys outstanding
performance over the past 10 years that culminated in a
record centennial year.
14
The Committees policy is to structure compensation
arrangements that are intended to fully preserve tax deductions
for executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code. However, the Committee retains the
flexibility to exceed the limitations of Section 162(m)
when it determines that such action is in the best interests of
the Company and its stockholders in order to attract, retain and
reward outstanding executives.

ITEM 2: |
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP) INCLUDING APPROVAL OF THE
PLANS PERFORMANCE GOALS. |
Introduction
The Board of Directors RECOMMENDS the approval of the
amended and restated LTIP. Stockholders approved the LTIP in
1991 and approved amendments to the Plan in 1997 and 2002. The
LTIP is designed 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. There are approximately 190 key
employees designated by the Compensation Committee who
participate in the LTIP, including the Named Officers identified
earlier in this proxy statement.
Description of the Proposal
Under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), publicly held
companies may not deduct compensation over $1 million paid
to certain executive officers in any one year.
Section 162(m) of the Code provides an exception for
performance-based compensation when the material
terms of the performance goals are approved by stockholders
every five years. The stockholders last approved the LTIP
performance goals in 2002. The stockholders are being asked to
approve the amended and restated LTIP and to approve the
material terms of the LTIP performance goals for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code.
Major changes made by the amended and restated LTIP include:
|
|
|
|
|
Authorizes the award of performance-based restricted stock
and/or stock units and sets forth the range of performance goals. |
|
|
|
Limits the award of restricted shares and/or stock units to
200,000 shares per employee per year. |
|
|
|
Increases the maximum amount of the long-term performance cash
award that may be paid to any participant in any year from
$2,000,000 to $6,000,000. |
|
|
|
Adds earnings per share to the list of criteria upon
which performance goals for the long-term performance cash award
may be based. |
The proposal does not seek to increase the number of shares
available for issuance under the LTIP.
Description of the Long Term Incentive Plan
The complete text of the amended and restated LTIP is attached
to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. The following
summary of the Plans principal features does not purport
to be complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety
by, the full text in Appendix A.
15
Administration. The LTIP is and will continue to be
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the Committee). All Committee members are
outside directors for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code and nonemployee
directors under the Securities and Exchange
Commissions
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 LTIP and makes
all other decisions regarding the operation of the LTIP. The
Committee adopts the policies and procedures for implementing
the LTIP.
Limitation on Awards. The total number of shares of
common stock authorized for awards of restricted shares, stock
units and options under the LTIP is limited to 20,250,000
(subject to adjustment for dilution under the terms of the
LTIP). If any restricted shares, stock units or options awarded
under the LTIP are forfeited, or if options terminate for any
other reason prior to exercise (other than exercise of a related
SAR), then they again become available for awards.
Eligibility. The Committee determines the managerial and
key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including
employees who are also Directors, eligible for awards under the
LTIP. Nonemployee directors are not eligible for awards under
the LTIP.
Types of Awards and Terms. Awards under the LTIP may take
the form of restricted shares, stock units, options and cash.
Options may be either nonstatutory stock options (NSOs) or
incentive stock options (ISOs) intended to qualify for special
tax treatment as determined by the Committee. 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 LTIP may include one of these elements or a combination of
several elements. Unless the Board of Directors determines that
the recipient of newly issued Restricted Shares must pay their
par value to the Company, no payment is required upon receipt of
an award. In addition, long-term performance awards granted
under other plans and stock units credited under the
Companys Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan may be
settled in stock issued under the LTIP. When granting awards,
the Committee establishes when the awards can vest and/or be
exercised. Vesting and exercisability may be accelerated in the
event of the participants death, disability or retirement
or in the event of a Change in Control. Moreover, if the
Committee concludes that there is a reasonable possibility of a
Change in Control within six months, it may make outstanding
options and SARs fully exercisable.
Stock Options. Each stock option grant is evidenced by a
stock option agreement specifying the number of shares and the
exercise price. No participant may be awarded an option to
purchase more than 562,500 shares in any year. The exercise
price for an option must not be less than the fair market value
of the shares on the date of grant. No ISO may be exercisable
after ten years. Except in the case of the optionees death
or as provided by the Committee in the agreement for NSOs, stock
options are not transferable. The exercise price of an ISO or
NSO may be paid in any lawful form permitted by the Committee,
including promissory notes or the surrender of shares of common
stock already owned by the optionee. The exercise price of
outstanding options fixed by the Committee may not be modified
except pursuant to the dilution adjustments under the provisions
of the LTIP.
Stock Appreciation Rights. Under the LTIP, SARs may be
granted in tandem with options; grants of SARs are therefore
also limited to 562,500 per year. 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. 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 corresponding portion of the SAR
may no longer be exercised.
Restricted Shares and Stock Units. Restricted shares are
shares of common stock that are subject to forfeiture if vesting
conditions are not satisfied. They are nontransferable and
subject to forfeiture prior to becoming vested. Restricted
shares have the same voting and dividend rights as other shares
of common
16
stock. A stock unit is an unfunded bookkeeping entry
representing the equivalent of one share of common stock; it is
nontransferable unless the holder dies. Stock units confer no
voting rights or other stockholder privileges, but the holder 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. The Committee determines
the number of stock units or restricted shares to be awarded as
well as the conditions governing vesting. When vested, stock
units may be settled with shares of common stock, by a cash
payment corresponding to the fair market value of an equivalent
number of shares of common stock, or a combination of both.
A maximum of 200,000 shares of restricted stock and/or
stock units may be awarded to any person in any year, and awards
may be made subject to attaining specified performance goals
over a designated performance period, in addition to time
vesting and other vesting requirements. Performance goals will
be set by the Committee based on objective criteria on a
Company, business unit or peer group comparison basis (which may
include or exclude specified items of an unusual or nonrecurring
nature) based on one or more of the following: earnings per
share, 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 based on an assessment of
individual performance, but no reduction may result in an
increase of an award payable to any other participant.
Long-Term Performance Cash Awards. The Committee may
grant long-term performance cash awards. Payment of cash awards
will be based on attaining specified performance goals over a
designated period in excess of one year. Performance goals for
the Chief Executive Officer, the four other highest compensated
executives of the Company and such other senior executives as
designated by the Committee will be set based on objective
criteria on a Company, business unit or peer group comparison
basis. These performance goals may include or exclude specified
items of an unusual or nonrecurring nature and are based on one
or more of the following: earnings per share, 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 no reduction will result in an increase in the award
payable to any other participant. The maximum long-term
performance cash award that may be paid to any participant in
any year is $6,000,000. In the event of a Change in Control, all
deferred accounts would be payable at the earliest date
permitted by law. A pro rata award would be made during a year
in which a Change of Control occurs.
Deferral of Long-Term Cash Awards. The Committee may
establish rules and procedures to allow participants to defer
cash awards otherwise payable and for the payment of previously
deferred amounts in cash or stock. Certain deferrals may be
subject to Code Section 409A. The rules and procedures for
those deferrals will comply with the Section 409A
requirements, and may include provisions for crediting dividend
equivalents on deferred stock unit accounts and crediting
interest on deferred cash accounts. In addition, stock units
credited under the Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan may be
settled in the form of shares issued under the LTIP.
Protection against Dilution. In the event of a stock
split, a stock dividend, an extraordinary cash dividend or
similar occurrence, the Committee will make appropriate
adjustments in the number of shares covered by the LTIP, the
number included 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 LTIP, the term
Change in Control means, in summary, with certain
exceptions (i) 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, (ii) a change in the composition of the Board
of Directors as a result of which the incumbent directors or
their duly elected successors cease to constitute a majority of
the Board, (iii) the consummation of 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
17
resulting corporation were members of the Companys Board,
or (iv) the consummation of a complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company or the sale of substantially all the
Companys assets. The Change in Control requirements
identified in regulations implementing Section 409A(e)(2)
of the Code will prevail over any conflicting provisions of the
definition of Change in Control in Sections 16.4(i) to
(iv) of the LTIP for those nonqualified deferred
compensation plans governed by Section 409A of the Code.
Employment Rights. Neither the LTIP nor any award 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 the terms of any written employment agreement.
Amendment or Termination. The LTIP became effective on
August 15, 1991 and will remain in effect until it is
discontinued by the Board of Directors, who may amend or
terminate the LTIP at any time. ISOs may be granted under the
LTIP only until December 4, 2015. An amendment to the LTIP
will be subject to stockholder approval only to the extent
required by applicable law, rules or regulations.
Plan Benefits
Benefits payable under the LTIP will vary depending on the
Committees discretion in granting awards and the
Companys performance against selected business criteria.
Consequently, the benefits that may be payable under the LTIP in
the future cannot be determined in advance. The following table
describes the option grants during 2005, the last completed
fiscal year, and cash payouts earned in the 2002-2004
performance period and paid out in 2005 with respect to certain
individuals and groups. The amounts of future awards and payouts
may not be similar to the amounts listed in the table.

Options granted in 2005 become fully exercisable January 1,
2008 at $72.25 per share. The options were granted for a
term of ten years unless employment is terminated earlier. The
closing trading price for the Companys common shares on
February 28, 2006 was $69.87. The Companys common
shares trade on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
Non-Statutory Options. Under the Code, the recipient of a
NSO will pay no tax at the time of grant. Upon exercise of a
NSO, 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 as ordinary income
for federal tax purposes. 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
18
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 unless the recipient elects to exercise a
tandem SAR. ISOs exercised more than three months after
termination of employment will be taxed in the same manner as
non-statutory stock options described above. Generally, upon
exercise of an ISO, the spread between the fair market value and
the exercise price will be an item of tax preference for
purposes of the alternative minimum tax. The tax treatment on
disposition of the shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO
can be quite complex. If the shares acquired upon the exercise
of an ISO are held for at least one year, (and at least two
years from the date of grant of the ISO), any gain or loss
realized upon their sale will be treated as long-term capital
gain or loss. The Company will not be entitled to a deduction.
If the shares are not held for the one-year period, generally
any gain recognized on sale of the shares will be ordinary
income and generally any loss recognized will be a capital loss.
There are exceptions to these rules. The Company may be entitled
to a deduction equal to the amount of any ordinary income so
recognized upon the sale of the shares. LTIP participants with
ISOs should consult their tax advisor for the exact tax
treatment applicable to them.
Stock Appreciation Rights. No taxable income is realized
by the holder and no deduction is available to the Company on
the grant of a SAR. 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 NSO.
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.
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
LTIP 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 THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE
SENIOR EXECUTIVE YEARLY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN (the
PLAN) INCLUDING APPROVAL OF THE PLANS
PERFORMANCE GOALS. |
Introduction
The Board of Directors RECOMMENDS the approval of the
amendment and restatement of the Senior Executive Yearly
Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan) and the
approval of performance goals under the Plan. The Plan promotes
the success of the Company by focusing senior executives on
achieving high quality performance, company profitability and
growth. The Plan and the performance goals were approved by
stockholders in 2002. The Plan is designed to preserve the
Companys tax deduction under Code Section 162(m) for
annual incentive compensation cash awards for the Chief
Executive Officer and the Companys next four highest
compensated executives. Approval of the amended and restated
plan is necessary to allow awards subject to performance goals
under the Plan to continue to qualify for deduction under
Section 162(m) of the Code and to increase the maximum
amount of compensation payable under the Plan.
19
Description of the Proposal
The proposal restates the performance goals under the Plan
without change. The Plan is amended to increase the maximum
compensation that may be paid to any eligible participant in any
year from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.
Description of the Plan
The complete text of the amended and restated Plan is attached
to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B. The following
summary of the Plans principal features does not purport
to be complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety
by, the full text in Appendix B.
Eligibility. The Companys Chief Executive Officer,
the Companys next four highest compensated executives as
defined in Code Section 162(m) and other senior executives
designated by the Compensation Committee are eligible for awards
under the Plan.
Administration. The Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee. The Committee has the authority to
interpret the Plan and adopt rules and guidelines to administer
the Plan. The Committee may reduce or eliminate any award
otherwise earned based on an assessment of individual
performance, but no reduction may result in an increase of an
award payable to any other participant.
Incentive Cash Awards. Participants are eligible to earn
incentive cash awards based on the attainment of specified
performance goals established by the Committee during the first
90 days of the Plan year. Performance goals will be set by
the Committee based on objective criteria on a Company, business
unit or peer group comparison basis (which may include or
exclude specified items of an unusual and nonrecurring nature)
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. The Committee will certify goal
attainment in writing before payout. The maximum amount that may
be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the Plan
is $4,000,000.
Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control
(defined in Section 10(b) of the Plan), 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 in Control during the Plan year in which the
Change in Control occurs.
Employment Rights. Neither the Plan nor any award under
the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to
remain an employee of the Company for any period of time in any
position or at any particular rate of compensation.
Amendment or Termination. The Board of Directors may
amend or terminate the Plan at any time. An amendment of the
Plan will be subject to the stockholder approval only to the
extent required by applicable law, rules or regulations. No
award may be earned under the Plan after the Plan is terminated.
Termination of Employment. Participants who retire,
resign or are terminated before the end of the Plan year are not
eligible for an award for that 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 and restated Plan will be
effective as of January 1, 2006 subject to approval of the
Company stockholders at the 2006 Annual Meeting.
Plan Benefits
Benefits payable under the Plan will vary depending on the
Companys performance against selected business criteria.
Consequently, benefits under the Plan may not be determined in
advance. The following
20
table sets forth the dollar amounts which were earned by certain
individuals and groups under the Plan for 2005 and paid in 2006.
The amount of future awards may not be similar to the amount
listed in the table.

Federal Income Tax Consequences.
Awards under the Plan constitute ordinary income taxable to a
participant in the year in which paid. Subject to Code
Section 162(m), the Company will generally be entitled to a
corresponding deduction for the year to which bonuses under the
Plan relate. The Plan has been designed to allow the Committee
to grant awards that qualify as performance based
for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR ITEM
3.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Ernst & Young LLP performed the audit of the
Companys financial statements for 2005 and has been
selected to perform this function for 2006. 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
SEC and NASDAQ rules. It adopted a written charter outlining its
responsibilities that was approved by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors designated John M. Fluke, Jr. as
audit committee financial expert.
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 on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005, and be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
21
The Committee approved the engagement of the independent
auditors, Ernst & Young LLP. The Audit Committee has
also adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all audit
and non-audit work performed by Ernst & Young. The
audit services engagement terms and fees and any changes to them
require Audit Committee pre-approval. The Committee has also
pre-approved the use of Ernst & Young for specific
categories of non-audit, audit-related, and tax services up to a
specific annual limit. Any proposed services exceeding
pre-approved limits require specific Audit Committee
pre-approval. The Companys complete pre-approval policy
was attached to the Companys 2004 proxy statement as
Appendix E. The Audit Committee has considered whether the
provision of the non-audit services listed below is compatible
with maintaining the independence of Ernst and Young LLP. The
services provided for the year ended December 31, 2005, and
December 31, 2004 are as follows:

STOCKHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following line graph compares the yearly percentage change
in the cumulative total stockholder return on the Companys
common stock to the cumulative total return of the
Standard & Poors Composite 500 Stock Index and
the return of an industry peer group of companies identified in
the graph (the Peer Group Index) for the last five fiscal years
ending December 31, 2005. Standard & Poors
has calculated a return for each company in the Peer Group Index
weighted according to its respective capitalization at the
beginning of each period with dividends reinvested on a monthly
basis. Management believes that the identified companies and
methodology used in the graph for the Peer Group Index provides
a better comparison than other indices available. The Peer Group
Index consists of ArvinMeritor, Inc., Caterpillar Inc., Cummins
Inc., Dana Corp., Deere & Co., Eaton Corp.,
Ingersoll-Rand Co. Ltd., Navistar International Corp., and
Oshkosh Truck Corp. The comparison assumes that $100 was
invested December 31, 2000, in the Companys common
stock and in the stated indices and assumes reinvestment of
dividends.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Company has been advised that two stockholders intend to
present proposals at the Annual Meeting. The Company will
furnish the name, address and number of shares held by the
proponent of each of the following stockholder proposals upon
receipt of written or oral request for such information to the
Secretary.
In accordance with the proxy regulations, the following is the
complete text of each proposal exactly as submitted. The
Company accepts no responsibility for the proposals.
24
|
|
ITEM 4: |
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING ANNUAL ELECTION OF ALL
DIRECTORS |
RESOLVED: Shareholders request that our Directors take the
necessary steps, in the most expeditious manner possible, to
adopt annual election of each director. This includes complete
transition from the current staggered system to 100% annual
election of each director in one election cycle if practicable.
Also to transition solely through direct action of our board if
practicable.
66% Yes-Vote
Thirty-three (33) shareholder proposals on this topic won
an impressive 66% average yes vote in 2005 through
late-September. The council of Institutional Investors
www.cii.org, whose members have $3 trillion invested,
recommended adoption of this proposal topic.
Progress Begins with One Step
It is important to take one step forward in our corporate
governance and adopt the above RESOLVED statement since our 2005
governance standards were not impeccable. For instance in 2005
it was reported (and certain concerns are noted):
|
|
|
|
|
The Corporate Library (TCL), an independent investment research
firm in Portland, Maine rated our company: |
|
|
|
D in Board composition. |
|
F in Takeover Defenses |
|
|
|
|
|
We were allowed to vote on individual directors only once in
3-years
Accountability concern. |
|
|
|
We had to marshal a 67% shareholder vote to make certain
governance improvements- Entrenchment concern. |
|
|
|
We had no Independent Chairman and not even a Lead
Director Independent oversight concern. |
|
|
|
Cumulative voting was not allowed. |
|
|
|
Our directors were still protected by a poison pill with a 15%
threshold. A 2004 shareholder proposal to redeem the poison
pill won a 49% vote. The 2004 proposal would probably have
exceeded 50% had not the Pigott family controlled the voting on
a substantial number of shares. |
Additionally:
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Wagner was rated a problem director because
he chaired the executive compensation committee at United
Technologies Corporation which received a CEO Compensation
rating of F by the Corporate Library. |
|
|
|
Our full Board met only 5-times in an entire year
Oversight concern. |
|
|
|
Our board had two insiders and another member had a potentially
conflicting non-director link with our company. |
|
|
|
Our key Audit Committee had two meetings in a whole year. |
|
|
|
We were not allowed to vote on our auditors. |
|
|
|
The Chairman of our Nomination Committee had
33-years director
tenure Independence concern. |
|
|
|
Our chairman Mr. Pigott was reported as zero shares
held. |
Our management failed to exclude a proposal on this topic from
our 2005 ballot. The 2005 proposal was submitted by John
Chevedden of Redondo Beach, Calif. Further details are in PACCAR
Inc (Dec. 27, 2004) and PACCAR Inc (Jan. 31. 2005)
(Reconsideration) available through SECnet
25
http://www.wsb.com/. The procedure is called a no action
request to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Best for the Investor
Arthur Levitt, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, 1993-2001 said: In my view its best for the
investor if the entire board is elected once a year. Without
annual election of each director shareholders have far less
control over who represents them. Take on the Street
by Arthur Levitt

Yes on 4
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 4 FOR
THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
It is the Companys position that PACCAR has one of the
best qualified Board of Directors of any public company in the
United States. The impeccable integrity of Company management,
the consistency of superior stockholder returns, especially
compared to the Standard & Poors 500, the quality
and technology leadership displayed in its products and
processes are the result of a dedicated and proactive Board of
Directors. PACCAR has earned a net income for 67 consecutive
years and paid a dividend every year since 1941.
In 1986, the Companys stockholders approved an amendment
to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation to divide the
Board of Directors into three classes, with approximately
one-third of the directors elected each year for a three-year
term. More than 78% of the Companys outstanding shares
voted for the amendment. The Board continues to believe that a
classified board (that is, one where only a portion of the board
is elected each year) is in the best interests of the
stockholders. Currently, the majority of corporations in the
Standard & Poors 500 have classified boards.
The Companys directors are experienced, proven executives
and leaders who serve on the boards of other prominent
corporations. An experienced, knowledgeable Board of Directors
is a tremendous asset to the Company, ensuring that it is
managed well and profitably for the benefit of its stockholders.
Since the Companys classified Board of Directors was
adopted twenty years ago, the Company has grown significantly
and profitably. Among the Companys many accomplishments
benefiting its stockholders are the following:
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys total stockholder return exceeded the
Standard & Poors 500 Index for the previous
three-, five- and ten-year periods (note the stockholder return
graph on page 24). |
|
|
|
For the period 1986-2005, the Companys average annual
stockholder return (with dividends reinvested) was 19.7%
compared to 11.9% for the Standard and Poors 500 Index for
the same period. |
|
|
|
BusinessWeek magazine (January 31, 2006) noted that
PACCAR is the top capital-goods producer among the
BusinessWeek 50 list of the best-performing large
companies. |
|
|
|
The U.S. Department of Commerce awarded PACCAR the
prestigious National Medal of Technology in 2006 for industry
leadership in its pioneering research and development of
aerodynamic, fuel-efficient commercial vehicles during the
previous four decades. |
|
|
|
Institutional Investor magazine rated PACCARs
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mark C. Pigott, as one of
the top three American CEOs in the Machinery sector in 2004 and
2005. |
|
|
|
The Wall Street Journal named PACCAR to its Honor Roll
for 2003 and 2004 recognizing PACCARs
excellent five-year average annual return to stockholders. |
26
|
|
|
|
|
Forbes magazine recognized PACCARs Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, Mark C. Pigott, as one of the top ten
CEOs in the United States in 2002, 2003 and 2004. |
A classified board structure provides continuity and stability
of leadership and policy because a majority of the directors at
any given time will have prior experience as directors of the
Company. Consequently, the Board has a solid knowledge of the
Company, a broader perspective on its operations, and a better
understanding of its future plans and opportunities. This
structure enables the directors to build on past experience for
more effective long-term strategic planning. This is
particularly important in a company like PACCAR that engages in
long-term investment programs.
Directors elected for staggered terms are equally accountable to
stockholders as directors elected annually. The Companys
classified Board reduces the vulnerability of the Company to
certain potentially abusive takeover tactics and encourages
potential acquirers to initiate arms length negotiations with
management and seasoned directors. Because only one-third of the
directors are elected at any annual meeting of stockholders, it
is impossible to elect an entire new Board or even a majority of
the Board at a single meeting. Incumbent directors always
represent a majority of the Board and are in a position to
negotiate with the proponent of the change while protecting the
interests of all stockholders.
Approval of this proposal would not automatically result in a
change to the Board structure. Under Delaware law, to change the
structure of the Companys Board of Directors, the Board
must first authorize an amendment to the Companys
Certificate of Incorporation. The stockholders would then have
to approve that amendment with an affirmative vote of two-thirds
of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock.
The Board believes that a classified board is appropriate for
the Company and will serve and protect stockholders
interests successfully as it has for decades.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST
ITEM 4.
ITEM 5: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING A DIRECTOR
VOTE THRESHOLD
Resolved: That the shareholders of Paccar, Inc.
(Company) hereby request that the Board of Directors
initiate the appropriate process to amend the Companys
governance documents (certificate of incorporation or bylaws) to
provide that director nominees shall be elected by the
affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast at an annual
meeting of shareholders.
Supporting Statement: Our Company is incorporated in
Delaware. Among other issues, Delaware corporate law addresses
the issue of the level of voting support necessary for a
specific action, such as the election of corporate directors.
Delaware law provides that a companys certificate of
incorporation or bylaws may specify the number of votes that
shall be necessary for the transaction of any business,
including the election of directors. (DGCL, Title 8,
Chapter 1, Subchapter VII, Section 216). Further, the
law provides that if the level of voting support necessary for a
specific action is not specified in the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, directors
shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the election of directors.
Our Company presently uses the plurality vote standard for the
election of directors. We feel that it is appropriate and timely
for the Board to initiate a change in the Companys
director election vote standard. Specifically, this shareholder
proposal urges that the Board of Directors initiate a change to
the director election vote standard to provide that in director
elections a majority vote standard will be used in lieu of the
Companys current plurality vote standard. Specifically,
the new standard should provide that nominees for the board of
directors must receive a majority of the vote cast in order to
be elected or re-elected to the Board.
Under the Companys current plurality vote standard, a
director nominee in a director election can be elected or
re-elected with as little as a single affirmative vote, even
while a substantial majority of the
27
votes cast are withheld from that director nominee.
So even if 99.99% of the shares withhold authority
to vote for a candidate or all the candidates, a 0.01%
for vote results in the candidates election or
re-election to the Board. The proposed majority vote standard
would require that a director receive a majority of the vote
cast in order to be elected to the Board.
It is our contention that the proposed majority vote standard
for corporate board elections is a fair standard that will
strengthen the Companys governance and the Board. Our
proposal is not intended to limit the judgment of the Board in
crafting the requested governance change. For instance, the
Board should address the status of incumbent directors who fail
to receive a majority vote when standing for re-election under a
majority vote standard or whether a plurality director election
standard is appropriate in contested elections.
We urge your support of this important director election reform.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 5
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The Company has an excellent history of electing Board members
by a substantial majority. For twenty years, over
90 percent of the outstanding shares have been represented
at each of the Companys annual meetings and every director
nominee has received an affirmative vote greater than
87 percent of the shares voted through the plurality
process. The proposed change is not necessary to ensure
stockholder support for the outstanding persons who serve on
this Companys Board of Directors.
Plurality voting is the accepted system among public companies
comparable to the Company and is the standard system under the
laws of the State of Delaware. The rules governing plurality
voting are well understood by stockholders. In a plurality
voting system for the election of directors, the nominees with
the most votes are elected. A plurality voting system does not
prevent stockholders from challenging and defeating Board
nominees, but it does ensure that the director nominees with the
most votes are elected to fill the positions available. By
contrast, in a majority vote system, the result is uncertain if
none of the director nominees receives a majority of the votes
cast. It is not in the best interest of the Company to implement
a majority vote system that does not provide a clear process for
determining the outcome in a contested election or in a
situation where no nominee receives a majority of the votes cast.
The Board believes that implementation of the proposal is not
appropriate.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM
5.

APPENDIX A
PACCAR Inc LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
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
and in 2002. 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 or nonstatutory stock options), 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 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 under
the Exchange Act (as amended from time to time); 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 (as amended from time to time). |
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, SARs, and Options awarded under
the Plan shall not exceed 20,250,000. If any Restricted Shares,
Stock Units, or Options are forfeited or if any Options
terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the
Common Shares covered by 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.
Only Key Employees shall be eligible for designation as
Participants. A Key Employee who owns more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the
Company or
A-1
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.
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 terms of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent
with the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether
the Option is an ISO or a NSO. The provisions of the various
Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be
identical.
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 562,500
(subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 10). 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 Option shall not be less than the
closing price of a Common Share on the date of grant. Subject to
adjustment pursuant to Article 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 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 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, and to the
extent that it does not cause the Option to be subject to
Section 409A of the Code, 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.
A-2
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
(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 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 a SAR. The maximum
number of SARs that may be awarded to any participant in any
year shall be 562,500 (subject to adjustment in accordance with
Article 10). 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 a 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
a 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. A SAR
may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be
included in a NSO at the time of grant or at any subsequent time.
7.2 Exercise of SARs. A 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 under
the Exchange Act (as amended from time to time). 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
A-3
exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. An
Option granted under the Plan may provide that it will be
exercisable as a 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. The
maximum number of Restricted Shares and/or Stock Units, awarded
to any Participant in any year shall be 200,000 (subject to
adjustment in accordance with Article 10). The Stock Award
Agreement shall provide for the adjustment of such number
including the maximum number in accordance with Article 10.
8.2 Performance Based
Awards. The Committee may authorize that Awards of
Restricted Shares and Stock Units be made subject to or granted
upon the attainment of specified performance goals over a
designated performance period of at least one year in addition
to time-vesting and other vesting requirements. If so
authorized, Awards intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Code
Section 162(m) shall be made in accordance with the
requirements thereof. Performance goals for this purpose 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: earnings per share, 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, 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: (a) performance against other financial
or strategic objectives; (b) its subjective assessment of
the executives overall performance for the year; and
(c) prevailing levels of total compensation among similar
companies.
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 consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code if subject to Section 409A of the Code. 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
A-4
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. Cash dividends on Restricted
Shares reinvested in additional Restricted Shares and any stock
dividends paid on 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 spin-off or a
similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate
adjustments in one or more of (a) the number of Common
Shares authorized, Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, and Stock
Units available for future Awards under Article 3,
(b) the number of Stock Units included in any prior Award
which has not yet been settled, (c) the number of Common
Shares covered by each outstanding Option Award , (d) the
Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR, or
(e) the per person per year limitations on Awards under the
Plan. Except as provided in this Article 10, a Participant
shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of
stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any
class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of
any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other
increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any
class.
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 CASH 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 awards for
the Chief Executive Officer, the other four highest compensated
officers of the Company and such other senior executives as
designated by the Committee are intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Code
Section 162(m) and shall be made in accordance with the
requirements thereof. Performance goals for this purpose will be
based on objective criteria specifically defined by the
Committee on a Company,
A-5
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: earnings per
share, 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:
(a) performance against other financial or strategic
objectives; (b) its subjective assessment of the
executives overall performance for the year; and
(c) 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 $6,000,000.
11.3 In the event of a Change of
Control of the Company, each Participant will be entitled to the
maximum prorated award based on the number of full or partial
months completed prior to the Change of Control during the
performance period in which the Change of Control occurs. Each
participant shall be entitled to be paid the sums in his
deferred income and/or stock account on the earliest date
permitted by law.
11.4 The Company may grant long
term performance awards under other plans or programs consistent
with the limitations described in Article 11. Such awards
and all stock units credited under the Companys Deferred
Incentive Compensation Plan may be settled in the form of Common
Shares issued under this Plan. Such Common Shares shall be
treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares
issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall reduce the number
of Common Shares available under Article 3.
11.5 The Committee may permit the
deferral of any award and may permit payment on deferrals to be
made in cash or shares of Common Stock subject to rules and
procedures it may establish which shall comply with
Section 409A of the Code for deferrals subject to
Section 409A of the Code. These rules may include
provisions for crediting dividend equivalents on deferred stock
unit accounts and crediting interest on deferred cash accounts.
|
|
|
ARTICLE 12. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS. |
12.1 Employment Rights.
Neither the Plan nor any Award 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).
12.2 Stockholders
Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting
rights, or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any
Common Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the issuance
of the stock, except as expressly provided in Section 9.1.
No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date when such
certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in
Articles 8, 9, and 10.
12.3 Regulatory
Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Common
Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws,
rules and regulations, and such approval by any regulatory body
as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict,
in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to
any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements
relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their
registration, qualification or listing, or to an exemption from
registration, qualification or listing.
|
|
|
ARTICLE 13. WITHHOLDING TAXES. |
13.1 General. To the extent
required by applicable federal, state, local, or foreign law,
the recipient of any payment or distribution under the Plan
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for
A-6
the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise
by reason of the receipt or vesting of such payment or
distribution. The Company shall not be required to issue any
Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such
obligations are satisfied.
13.2 Share Withholding. The
Committee may permit the recipient of any payment or
distribution under the Plan to satisfy his or her minimum tax
withholding obligations by having the Company withhold a portion
of any Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or

APPENDIX B
PACCAR Inc SENIOR EXECUTIVE
YEARLY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
The Plan was approved by the Companys stockholders in 1997
and 2002. The purpose of the 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.
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.
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.
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: (a) performance against other financial
or strategic objectives; (b) its subjective assessment of
the executives overall performance for the year; and
(c) prevailing levels of total compensation among similar
B-1
companies. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible
participant in any year under the Plan is $4,000,000.
In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, each
participant will be entitled to the maximum prorated award based
on the number of full or partial months completed prior to the
Change in Control during the Plan Year in which the Change in
Control occurs.
|
|
6. |
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT |
Participants who retire, resign or are terminated before the end
of the Plan Year are not eligible for an award for the Plan
Year. In the event of death or disability, payout will be
prorated based on actual goal achievement and salary received
for the portion of the year worked.
Neither the Plan, nor the payment of an award, nor any other
action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute or be
evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied,
that the Company or a Subsidiary will employ any individual for
any period of time, in any position or at any particular rate of
compensation.
|
|
8. |
