Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial performance data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures. The document references EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) solely as a metric for executive performance evaluation.
Material Changes
The primary material change reported is an amendment to the Company's 2008 Executive Bonus Plan (EBP). The amendment alters the financial-based measure for determining the annual performance award for the Group President position.

Under the new amendment, the measure is split 50% on a global EBITDA target and 50% on the combined EBITDA targets for the business unit components comprising the group.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
This amendment specifically impacts Robert E. Sulentic, Group President for EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Development Services, for the 2008 fiscal year.
