Introduction Your Board of Directors has determined that it would be in your and our best interests to implement the Stock Option Exchange Program. Under this program, our employees will be given a one-time opportunity to exchange their current stock options for proportionately fewer options at a new exercise price. Stock options are a critical component of our compensation arrangements for employees. They encourage our employees to act as owners, which helps to align their interests with yours. We grant stock options to motivate and reward our employees for profitable growth and to encourage them to continue their employment with us. Due to our undervalued stock price and the economic slow down, virtually all of our employees have stock options with exercise prices significantly higher than the current trading price of our common stock. Simply put, the perception is that these stock options have no value. As a result, our options are no longer effectively providing the employee motivation and retention that they were intended to provide. In keeping with our recently announced business realignment, which is designed to help drive profitable growth, the Stock Option Exchange Program provides us a fresh start to motivate and reward our employees for their role in achieving this growth. By realigning the exercise prices of previously granted stock options with the current market price of our common stock, the program increases our employees' opportunity to realize value from their stock options. We have structured the program to strike a balance between your interests and those of our employees. This is most evident by the manner in which the stock options will be exchanged. Using the value neutral approach described below, employees participating in the program will generally receive new options for a lesser number of shares then they surrender. This approach is designed to limit any dilution in your ownership. Although your approval of the Stock Option Exchange Program is not required by law, by any regulations or by the terms of our stock option plans, we believe that sound corporate governance dictates that the program not be implemented unless it is approved by you. Several plan amendments to our stock option plans are necessary to implement the program. While your approval is not required for these amendments, we will not make these plan changes without your approval. Background We believe that stock options are a valuable tool to align the interests of employees and shareholders. For this reason, we have offered employees worldwide stock options to recognize, reward and motivate their performance. In 1998 and 2000, we issued stock options under the Kodak Stock Option Plan to all employees worldwide with the exception of our management-level employees. We also maintain another plan for all employees under which stock options may be granted periodically for exceptional, individual performance. 7 Under our management stock option plans, our policy has generally been to grant options to management-level employees at the time of their initial employment and to make annual grants of options to management-level employees. At the time an option is awarded, we specify the number of shares of common stock that can be purchased upon exercise of the option and the price per share which the employee must pay in order to exercise the option. We do not grant stock options with an exercise price less than the current trading price of our common stock. As of December 10, 2001, options to purchase an aggregate of 31,353,133 shares of common stock were eligible for exchange under the Stock Option Exchange Program with exercise prices ranging from $26.90 to $92.31. Approximately 61,000 employees worldwide hold these options. Each of these options was granted under one of the following plans: the Eastman Kodak Company 1990 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan, the Eastman Kodak Company 1995 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan, the 2000 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan, the Wage Dividend Plan and the Kodak Stock Option Plan. The shares of common stock for which the new options will be exercisable have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The new options will be granted from the same option plan under which the surrendered options were originally granted. The terms and conditions of the new options will generally be identical to the surrendered options they replace except for the exercise price and the number of shares underlying the options, as more fully described below. All new options granted under the Stock Option Exchange Program will be nonqualified stock options for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Description of Stock Option Exchange Program Grant of New Options. Under the Stock Option Exchange Program, our eligible employees may make a one-time election to cancel all of their existing stock options and exchange them for new options. These new options will be issued on August 26, 2002, or thereafter, on the first business day that is at least six months and one day after the cancellation of the old options. Participation in the program is voluntary. To participate in the program, however, an employee must elect to cancel all of his or her options. In other words, an employee may not elect to exchange some of his or her current options and retain others. Eligibility. The program is open to all of our employees and the employees of our participating subsidiaries. Our six most senior executive officers are not, however, eligible to participate in the program. The program is also not available to our directors or any former employees or retirees. Exchange Ratio. The exchange ratio for the program, i.e., how many current options an employee must surrender in order to receive one new option, is based on the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model is a recognized and accepted method to determine the value of an option. We choose this approach in order to make the exchange program value neutral to you, our shareholders. In other words, we wanted to avoid the dilution in ownership that normally results when all options are exchanged on a one-for-one basis. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the value of each option was determined both before and after the exchange. For purposes of determining current value, we used 90% of an option's current Black-Scholes value. These values were then compared to determine an appropriate exchange ratio based on the current option's existing exercise price. While some options will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis, in the vast majority of cases, an employee will exchange two or three existing options for a single new one. We have set the exchange ratio for both the 1998 and 2000 all employee grants at 1.5 to one. The following table shows the specific exchange ratios that will be used in the program for all other options. 8 Exercise Price of New Options. All new options will be granted with an exercise price equal to the average of the high and low trading prices of our common stock on August 26, 2002 or thereafter on the first business day that is at least six months and one day after the cancellation of the old options. Vesting of New Options. All of the new options will have the same vesting terms as the surrendered options they replace. Consequently, any surrendered options that will have vested prior to the new grant date will be replace with new options that are vested. Term of New Options. Each new option will have a term equal to the remaining term of the surrendered options it replaces. Other Terms and Conditions of New Options. All of the other terms and conditions of the new options will generally be identical to the surrendered options they replace. Implementation of the Exchange Program. Your Board of Directors authorized the Stock Option Exchange Program in November, 2001, upon the recommendation of its Executive Compensation and Development Committee, subject to your approval. If you approve the program, immediately after the meeting eligible employees will be offered the opportunity to participate in the program under an Offer of Exchange filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed to all eligible employees. Employees will be given a short election period in which to accept the offer of the new options in exchange for the surrender of all their existing options. For those employees who choose to participate in the program, all of their current options will be cancelled on the last day of this election period. The new options will be granted on August 26, 2002, or thereafter, on the first business day that is at least six months and one day after the cancellation of the old options. Stock Appreciation Rights. We grant stock appreciation rights (SARs) in those countries where the grant of stock options is either illegal or impractical. These SARs will be eligible for the Stock Option Exchange Program on essentially the same terms and conditions as described above for stock options. Accounting Treatment. We have structured the program to comply with Financial Standards Accounting Board guidelines so that the Company will receive the same accounting treatment for the new options as it does for its current options. In other words, the program has been designed so that we will avoid any variable accounting compensation charges against our earnings. U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences. The exchange should be treated as a non-taxable exchange and no income for U.S. federal income tax purposes should be recognized by the employees or the Company upon the grant of the new options. New Plan Benefits Because the decision whether to participate in the Stock Option Exchange Program is completely voluntary, we are not able to predict who will participate or how may options any particular group of employees will elect to exchange. 9
-------------------------------------- Grant Price Exchange Ratio -------------------------------------- Less than $37 1 for 1 -------------------------------------- $37 through $57.99 1.5 for 1 -------------------------------------- $58 through $69.99 2 for 1 -------------------------------------- $70 through $78.99 2.5 for 1 -------------------------------------- $79 and higher 3 for 1 Also, as previously stated, our six most senior executive officers are not eligible to participate in the program. Since these six include all of our named executive officers, no named executive officer will be eligible for the exchange. The following table indicates the maximum number of options that would be cancelled and the maximum number that would be reissued assuming all of the persons within the indicated groups elect to participate in the exchange program. - -------- /1/ Excludes six most senior executive officers since they are ineligible to participate in the Stock Option Exchange Program. Effect on Shareholders We are not able to predict with any degree of certainty the impact the program will have on your rights as a shareholder because we are unable to predict how many option holders will exchange their options or what the future market price of the Company's stock will be. The program was designed to be value neutral to you, and to avoid the dilution in ownership that normally results when all options are exchanged on a one-for-one basis. There is a risk that employees will not see the Option Exchange Program as a sufficient incentive to motivate and retain them as Kodak employees. Also, if the price of the Company's stock rises after the new options are granted, then option holders will be more likely to exercise the new options than the current options and the exercises are likely to occur earlier. As additional shares of our common stock are issued upon option exercises, existing shareholders will be proportionately diluted. Proposed Plan Amendments Generally, three plan amendments are necessary to implement the Stock Option Exchange Program. The first of these amendments addresses the permissibility of implementing the program. Both the Eastman Kodak Company 1995 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan and the 2000 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan presently prohibit the cancellation of a stock option in exchange for the issuance of a new option with a lower exercise price. The remaining stock option plans, the Wage Dividend Plan, the Kodak Stock Option Plan and the Eastman Kodak Company 1990 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan, do not either expressly permit or prohibit this kind of exchange. Consequently, we are asking you to approve an amendment to all of the plans so that we can on a one-time basis offer the Stock Option Exchange Program for the reasons previously described. The second plan amendment we are asking you to approve only affect the Eastman Kodak Company 1990 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan and the Eastman Kodak Company 1995 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan. This amendment will allow us to reissue new options under these plans in exchange for those options that are cancelled. This is necessary because the term of each of these plans has expired. With the exception of our existing stock option plan, the 2000 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan, any shares underlying surrendered stock options which are not regranted under the terms of the exchange program will be permanently cancelled and, therefore, will not be available for regrant. The final plan amendment affects the Wage Dividend Plan and the Eastman Kodak Company 1995 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan. Both plans presently prohibit shares related to awards that are cancelled from being reissued under the plan. We are asking your approval to amend both plans to except the awards granted under the Stock Option Exchange Program from this prohibition. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal. 10

Employee directors receive no additional compensation for serving on the Board. Deferred Compensation Non-employee directors may defer some or all of their compensation into a phantom Kodak stock account or into a phantom interest-bearing account. Seven directors deferred compensation in 2000. In the event of a change in control, the amounts in the phantom accounts will generally be paid in a single cash payment. Life Insurance The Company provides $100,000 of group term life insurance to each non-employee director. This decreases to $50,000 at retirement or age 65, whichever occurs later. Charitable Award Program This program was closed to new participants effective January 1, 1997. The program provides for a contribution by the Company of up to $1,000,000 following a director's death to a maximum of four charitable institutions recommended by the director. The individual directors derive no financial benefits from this program. It is funded by joint life insurance policies purchased by the Company and self-insurance. Each of the following non-employee directors continues to participate in the program: Messrs. Braddock and Zimmerman, Drs. Emerson and Gray, and Gov. Collins. 12 COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS FOR 2000 The individuals named in the following table were the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the five other highest-paid executive officers during 2000.

Participation in the program is limited to senior executives. The program's performance goal is total shareholder return equal to at least that earned by a company at the 50th percentile in terms of total shareholder return within the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. After the close of a cycle, the Committee calculates the percentage earned of each participant's target award. No awards are paid unless the performance goal is achieved. Fifty percent of the target award is earned if the performance goal is achieved. One hundred percent is earned if total shareholder return for the cycle equals that of a company at the 60th percentile within the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Committee has the discretion to reduce or eliminate the award earned by any participant based upon any criteria it deems appropriate. Awards are paid in the form of restricted stock, which restrictions lapse at age 60. The table below shows the threshold (i.e., attainment of the performance goal), target and maximum number of shares for the named executive officers for each cycle. No awards were earned for the 1998-2000 performance cycle as shown in the "LTIP Payouts" column of the Summary Compensation Table shown on page 13. * Individuals who participate for less than the full performance cycle are eligible for a prorated award based upon the length of their participation. 17

Fisher - The Company employed Mr. Fisher under an employment contract that terminated on December 31, 2000. In addition to information found elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the contract, as amended, provided credit for years of service under the Company's benefit plans, including 22 years of deemed service and five additional years of age for the retirement plan. The pension benefit paid to Mr. Fisher was reduced by the pension paid to him by his prior employer. The contract also provided Mr. Fisher the following benefits after his retirement from the Company: . use of office facilities and secretarial assistance; . use of the Company's aircraft for certain business travel; . limited use for personal purposes of the Company's aircraft during the two-year period immediately following his retirement; . life insurance coverage of $3 million; . retiree coverage under the Company's health and dental plans. Following his retirement, Mr. Fisher retained both his stock option and restricted stock awards. Daniel A. Carp - Effective December 10, 1999, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Carp providing for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer. The letter agreement provides for a base salary of $1,000,000, subject to annual adjustment, and a target annual bonus of 105% of his base salary. Mr. Carp's compensation will be reviewed annually by the Executive Compensation and Development Committee. In light of Mr. Carp's promotion to Chairman in December 2000, the Executive Compensation and Development Committee approved an increase to Mr. Carp's target annual bonus to 145% of his base salary. If the Company terminates Mr. Carp's employment without cause, Mr. Carp will be permitted to retain his stock options and restricted stock. He will also receive severance pay equal to three times his base salary plus target annual bonus and prorated awards under the Company's bonus plans. The letter agreement also provides that for pension purposes, Mr. Carp will be treated as if he were age 55, if he is less than age 55 at the time of his termination, or age 60, if he is age 55 or older but less than age 60, at the time of his termination of employment. In the event of Mr. Carp's disability, he will receive the same severance pay as he would receive upon termination without cause; except it will be reduced by the present value of any Company-provided disability benefits he receives. The letter agreement also states that upon Mr. Carp's disability, he will be permitted to retain all of his stock options. Eric L. Steenburgh - In April 1998, the Company hired Mr. Steenburgh under an offer letter dated March 12, 1998. If, during the first five years of Mr. Steenburgh's employment, the Company terminates his employment without cause, or if Mr. Steenburgh voluntarily terminates employment for good reason, he will receive severance pay equal to one times his base salary plus target annual bonus. After he has been employed for five years, Mr. Steenburgh will be credited with 20 extra years of service for pension purposes. Robert H. Brust - The Company employed Mr. Brust under an offer letter dated December 20, 1999. In addition to the information provided elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the offer letter provides Mr. Brust a special severance benefit. If during the first five years of Mr. Brust's employment, the Company terminates his employment without cause, he will receive severance pay equal to one times his base salary plus target annual bonus. After completing five years of service with the Company, Mr. Brust will be allowed to keep his stock options upon his termination of employment for other than cause. 18 Change in Control Arrangements The Company maintains a change in control program to provide severance pay and continuation of certain welfare benefits for virtually all U.S. employees. A "change in control" is generally defined under the program as: . the incumbent directors cease to constitute a majority of the Board, unless the election of the new directors was approved by at least two-thirds of the incumbent directors then on the Board; . the acquisition of 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; . a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's shareholders; or . a vote by the shareholders to completely liquidate or dissolve the Company. The purpose of the program is to assure the continued employment and dedication of all employees without distraction from the possibility of a change in control. The program provides for severance payments and continuation of certain welfare benefits to eligible employees whose employment is terminated, either voluntarily with "good cause" or involuntarily, during the two-year period following a change in control. The amount of the severance pay and length of benefit continuation is based on the employee's position. Each of the named executive officers would be eligible for severance pay equal to three times his base salary plus target annual bonus award. In addition, each named executive officer would be eligible to participate in the Company's medical, dental, disability and life insurance plans until the first anniversary of the date of his termination of employment. The Company's change in control program also requires, subject to certain limitations, tax gross-up payments to all employees to mitigate any excise tax imposed upon the employee under the Internal Revenue Code. Another component of the program provides enhanced benefits under the Company's retirement plan. Any participant whose employment is terminated, for a reason other than death, disability, cause or voluntary resignation, within five years of a change in control is given up to five additional years of service. In addition, where the participant is age 50 or over on the date of the change in control, up to five additional years of age is given for the following plan purposes: . to determine eligibility for early and normal retirement; . to determine eligibility for a vested right; and . to calculate the amount of retirement benefit. The actual number of years of service and years of age that is given to such a participant decreases proportionately depending upon the number of years that elapse between the date of a change in control and the date of the participant's termination of employment. If the plan is terminated within five years after a change in control, the benefit for each participant will be calculated as indicated above. In the event of a change in control which causes the Company's stock to cease active trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company's compensation plans will generally be affected as follows: . under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, each participant will be paid the amount in his or her account; . under the Management Variable Compensation Plan, each participant will be paid a pro rata target award for the year in which the change in control occurs; . under the Performance Stock Program, each participant will be awarded a pro rata target award for each pending performance cycle and all awards will be cashed out based on the change in control price; . under the Company's stock option plans, all outstanding options will vest in full and be cashed out based on the difference between the change in control price and the option's exercise price; and . under the Company's restricted stock programs, all of the restrictions on the stock will lapse and the stock will be cashed out based on the change in control price. 19 Retirement Plan The Company funds a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan for virtually all U.S. employees. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company amended the plan to include a cash balance feature. All of the named executive officers, with the exception of Mr. Brust, participate in the non-cash balance portion of the plan. The cash balance feature covers all new employees hired after March 31, 1999, including Mr. Brust. Retirement income benefits are based upon an employee's average participating compensation (APC). The plan defines APC as one third of the sum of the employee's participating compensation for the highest consecutive 39 periods of earnings over the 10-year period ending immediately prior to retirement or termination of employment. Participating compensation, in the case of the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, is base salary and Management Variable Compensation Plan awards, including allowances in lieu of salary for authorized periods of absence, such as illness, vacation or holidays. For an employee with up to 35 years of accrued service, the annual normal retirement income benefit is calculated by multiplying the employee's years of accrued service by the sum of (a) 1.3% of APC, plus (b) 0.3% of APC in excess of the average Social Security wage base. For an employee with more than 35 years of accrued service, the amount is increased by 1% for each year in excess of 35 years. The retirement income benefit is not subject to any deductions for Social Security benefits or other offsets. The normal form of benefit is an annuity, but a lump sum payment is available in limited situations. NOTE: For purposes of this table, Remuneration means APC. To the extent that an employee's annual retirement income benefit exceeds the amount payable from the Company's funded plan, it is paid from one or more unfunded supplementary plans. 20

This table also shows the amount of each named executive officer's APC at the end of 2000, except for Mr. Brust who participates in the cash balance feature. RETIREMENT PLAN (a) Mr. Fisher was credited with 22 extra years of service for purposes of calculating his retirement benefit; any pension benefit payable is offset by any pension paid by his previous employer. (b) After Mr. Steenburgh has been employed for five years, he will be credited with 20 extra years of service for purposes of calculating his retirement benefit. Cash Balance Feature Under the cash balance feature of the Company's pension plan, the Company establishes an account for each participating employee. Every month the employee works, the Company credits the employee's account with an amount equal to four percent of the employee's monthly pay. In addition, the ongoing balance of the employee's account earns interest at the 30-year Treasury bond rate. To the extent federal laws place limitations on the amount of pay that may be taken into account under the plan, four percent of the excess pay is credited to an account established for the employee in an unfunded supplementary plan. If a participating employee leaves the Company and is vested (five or more years of service), the employee's account balance will be distributed to the employee in the form of a lump sum or monthly annuity. If the participating employee's account balance exceeds $5,000, the employee also has the choice of leaving his or her account balance in the plan to continue to earn interest. In addition to the benefits described above, Mr. Brust is covered under a special supplemental pension arrangement established under his December 20, 1999, offer letter. The supplemental pension arrangement provides Mr. Brust a single life annuity of $12,500 per month upon his retirement if he remains employed with the Company for at least five years. The $12,500 monthly annuity will be offset by Mr. Brust's cash balance benefit and by all other Company-paid retirement income benefits provided to Mr. Brust. 21

Morley 36 530,780 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000) Role of the Committee The Executive Compensation and Development Committee is made up of four independent members of the Board. The Committee members are neither employees nor former employees of the Company. The functions of the Committee include: . reviewing the executive compensation strategy, . reviewing the design of the executive compensation program, . overseeing the administration of the executive compensation plans, . monitoring and overseeing the career development of executives, . annually establishing performance commitments for the CEO, executive officers and key management, . reviewing performance annually and determining the individual elements of total compensation for the CEO and other designated executives, and . reviewing at least annually diversity representation at the senior and mid-management levels. Principles of Executive Compensation The Company's executive compensation program is designed to: . tie compensation to performance that is consistent with the Company's values and increases shareholder value, . attract and retain employees needed to meet the Company's growth and performance objectives, . set the total compensation of executives at market competitive levels, . link compensation to both short and long-term performance, . place a significant portion of each executive's compensation at risk; the more senior an executive's position, the more compensation should be at risk, and . link the interests of executives with our owners through stock ownership. Executive Compensation Practices Each year, the Company participates in surveys prepared by outside consultants. The companies included in these surveys are those the Company competes with for executive talent. Most, but not all, of these companies are included in the Dow Jones Industrial Index shown in the Performance Graph on page 25. Based largely on the median compensation of these surveyed companies, the Committee sets the target compensation of senior executives. Components of Executive Compensation Program The components of the executive compensation program are: . base salary, . short-term bonus, and . long-term incentives. Base Salary: Base salary is the only fixed portion of an executive's compensation. Each executive's base salary is reviewed annually based on (1) a compensation range which corresponds to the executive's job responsibilities; and (2) the executive's individual performance. The Company measures individual performance in large part through the management appraisal process. This process evaluates performance against a combination of financial and non-financial goals established in the following three areas: . shareholder satisfaction, . customer satisfaction, and . employee satisfaction. 22 The other portion of the management appraisal process measures an executive's performance relative to the six Company values: . respect for the dignity of the individual, . integrity, . trust, . credibility, . continuous improvement and personal renewal, and . recognition and celebration. Short-Term Bonus: Under the short-term bonus plan, a target bonus is set annually for each executive. The target, which is a percentage of base salary, varies depending on the executive's duties and responsibilities. For 2000, target bonuses ranged from 25% of base salary to 105% of base salary for the CEO. The plan's performance measure is Economic Profit/Economic Value Added. Using this measure, the Committee establishes at the beginning of each year a performance formula for the year. Based on Company performance for the year, this formula determines the size of the award pool for the year. The Committee awards bonuses from the award pool using in large part the results of the management appraisal process. The total award pool does not have to be awarded. The Committee has the authority to carry over unused award pool funds to subsequent years. Based chiefly on the Company's failure to achieve its financial goals, the Committee awarded short-term bonuses for 2000 that were on the whole substantially below target. The Summary Compensation Table on page 20 lists for 2000 the awards for the named executive officers. Long-Term Incentives: Long-term compensation is delivered through stock options, the Performance Stock Program and restricted stock. The Company maintains a management stock option program. Stock options encourage executives to act as owners, which helps to further align their interests with the interests of our shareholders. The Committee generally grants stock options once a year under this program. The options are priced at 100% of the fair market value of the Company's stock on the day of grant. The options vest within three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company bases target grants on the median survey values of the companies it surveys. Grants to individual executives are then adjusted using in large part the results of the management appraisal process. The Performance Stock Program places a portion of top executives' long-term compensation at risk. The program measures performance over a three-year period based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to those companies within the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Price Index. A description of the program, as well as the threshold, target and maximum awards for the named executive officers appears on page 13. Based on the Company's performance over the three-year performance cycle ending in 2000, no awards were paid for this cycle. From time to time, the Company grants restricted stock awards to selected executives. These awards are generally made to either (1) induce the recipients to remain with or to become employed by the Company; or (2) recognize exceptional performance. Share Ownership Program The interests of the Company's executives must be consistent with those of its shareholders. The Company aims to link these interests by encouraging stock ownership by its executives. One program designed to meet this objective is the Company's share ownership program. Under this program, each senior executive is required to own stock of the Company worth a multiple of his or her base salary. These 23 multiples range from one times base salary to four times base salary for the CEO. The program applies to approximately 24 senior executives, all of whom have either satisfied or are on track to satisfy the requirements. Chief Executive Officer Compensation Mr. Carp was named Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2000. Coincident with this promotion, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Carp concerning his compensation. The terms of this agreement are described on page 18. Below is a description of Mr. Carp's compensation for 2000. Base Salary: Mr. Carp received a base salary of $1,000,000 as required under his agreement with the Company. Short-Term Bonus: The Committee used the results of the management appraisal process to determine the CEO's short-term bonus for 2000. Mr. Carp's award is listed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 13. Based primarily on the Company's inability to achieve its financial goals, the Committee awarded Mr. Carp a short-term bonus well below his target award. Stock Options: In March of 2000, the Committee awarded Mr. Carp his target award of 100,000 shares under the Company's management stock option program. Performance Stock Program: Based on the Company's financial performance over the three-year period ending in 2000, Mr. Carp did not receive an award for the 1998-2000 performance cycle. Election as Chairman: On December 7, 2000, the Board elected Mr. Carp its Chairman. As a result of this promotion, the Committee reviewed Mr. Carp's compensation. The Committee did not adjust Mr. Carp's base salary of $1,000,000. The Committee did, however, increase Mr. Carp's target award under the short-term bonus plan from 105% to 145% of base salary and under the management stock option program from 100,000 to 140,000 shares. To recognize Mr. Carp's promotion, the Committee granted him, effective January 12, 2001, a stock option award of 160,000 shares and an award of 20,000 shares of restricted stock. Leadership and Development The Committee reviewed the Company's leadership and organization development plans, as well as the Company's profiles for succession candidates. It also discussed the Company's leadership and development strategies. These are designed to provide leaders capable of creating effective organizations and executing business strategies that will drive the success of the Company. In addition, the Committee reviewed diversity activities and goals as part of the Company's diversity program. Company Policy on Qualifying Compensation Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company may not deduct certain forms of compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to any of the named executive officers that are employed at year end. The Committee believes that it is generally in the Company's best interests to comply with Section 162(m). The Committee also believes, however, that there may be circumstances in which the Company's interests are best served by maintaining flexibility, whether or not compensation is fully deductible under Section 162(m).
