Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the specific "Minimum" and "Goal" thresholds for Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBIT for fiscal 2012, as these determine the potential bonus payout for the CEO of Media Services.
- Confirm the total number of shares outstanding (5,996,212) and the voting participation rate (approximately 85.9%) at the September 14, 2011 meeting.
- Note the significant number of votes withheld for Nicholas G. Karabots (300,043) compared to Albert V. Russo (28,458), which may indicate shareholder sentiment regarding the controlling shareholder.
- Review the definition of "Adjusted Revenue" and "Adjusted EBIT" in the full plan document to understand the specific exclusions used to calculate the bonus.
