Pay-for-Performance Guidelines  
 
    Corporate Governance and Corporate Responsibility are two significant issues in North American business. Underlying these concepts is the relationship of Executive Compensation to Corporate Performance.

Executive Compensation data follows the guidelines of the appropriate filing exchanges and other regulatory agencies (the SEC and OSC).

 
  The 3XCD Executive Compensation and Pay-for-Performance database compares publicly listed companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange (ASE), National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ), Over-the-Counter (OTC), Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and wholly-owned subsidiaries required to file with the appropriate Securities and Exchange Commission.  
    The current profile is based on absolute and comparative financial results for the last completed fiscal year. Where necessary these results have been standardized to a calendar year basis for relative comparison.  
  Linking financial and compensation performance periods is critical in pay-for-performance determination. Companies with a fiscal year end between June 1st and May 31st have been grouped within the same performance period. This matches Standard and Poors' annual financial data period.

e.g. if a company has a May 31st, 2005 fiscal year end it is captured inside the fiscal year of 2004.
 
 
   Company Pay-for-Performance Results  
 
    Peer Group determination is essential for comparative pay-for-performance analysis. The Peer Group is determined by 3XCD and shared with the Board before analysis is commenced. If this process is not possible a “Standard Peer Group” is selected by 3XCD and used as the basis for this analysis.

 
    BANK OF MONTREAL competes in the Banks industry sector.
The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.
 
  The company has total assets of $388,458 million, invested capitalization of $26,938 million, market capitalization of $27,609 million, and revenues of $16,067 million for 2009.  
  Peer Group Determination

Compensation and performance comparisons are based on the peer group below.

  Peer group determination DRIVES compensation levels. In performing a pay-for-performance analysis 3XCD has selected closely related peers of equivalent size using Standards and Poor's and Moodys' GICS Industry and Sub-Industry mnemonic (see Definitions Appendix).
  Invested Capital and Revenue are used to select peer companies of similar size (see explanation in Definitions Appendix).
  All compensation dollar units are expressed in thousands of dollars.
  To modify this peer group please advise.

 Comparative Compensation Analysis
 
  Pay-for-performance comparison evaluates each component of executive compensation and compares the result to the peer group.

  Compensation Components:
  Definitions and evaluation methodology are explained below.
    Base Salary Base salary as reported to the securities commission in the last fiscal year.
    Current Bonus as % of Base Salary Current year bonus divided by the current base salary.
    Average Bonus as % of Base Salary Average three-year bonus divided by the current base salary.
    Other Compensation Benefits and perquisites.
    Total Cash Compensation Most recent fiscal period base salary plus most recent bonus.
    Short-term Incentive (Bonus) Bonus that is earned annually is attributed to an appropriate performance period. Variation in annual payout means companies either change financial performance, or internal targets are (or are not) achieved. Since bonus payments change annually, bonus is valued currently and over three years.
    Mid-term Incentive Mid-term incentives (MTI) are typically earned and paid out over a three-year period. These plans typically include either three-year performance hurdles or a stock unit/grant plan.
    Long-term Incentive Long-term Incentives (LTI) typically earn value and pay out over several years. Valuation depends on the vesting conditions (time-based, accelerated, or performance-based).
LTI vehicles typically accumulate value over an extended period of time (likely 3, 5, 7, or 10 years). Given the value accumulation of long-term incentives, LTI's are valued over three-years to determine approximate value. Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. A discounted "executive" LTI value is used where performance-based measures are part of the LTI plan.
    Total Direct Compensation Total cash compensation plus medium and long-term incentive value.

  Comparative compensation assessment against the determined peer group is extremely important. The chart below
shows Base Salary within the peer group.

    Total Direct Compensation = Total Cash Compensation + 3 Yr Avg MTI + 3 Yr Avg LTI.

  Comparative Financial Performance Details  
 

Executive Compensation comparisons should be made within the concept of absolute and relative financial performance.

The chart below shows company financial performance versus the peer group of companies. The financial comparison is shown over a one-year and three-year performance history.
 
       
 
Pay-for-Performance Comparison
 
  From the Corporate Governance and Responsibility standpoint the critical issue for the Board and shareholders is the linkage of pay-to-performance.

This analysis should be made annually and continuously to ensure a continual pay-for-performance linkage.

We have charted one-year and thee-year total direct compensation to related key financial measures. This chart can be modified for diagnostic purposes to show alternate performance measures or individual compensation elements such as bonus or LTI versus comparative pay-for-performance.

    Total Direct Compensation should always be compared to relative financial performance in both the short-term (1-year) and longer-term (3-year) time frames.
    The strongest Pay-for-Performance linkage moves the Pay-for-Performance metric towards the ellipse.
    The following indicates 1-year and 3-year Total Direct Compensation compared to relative financial performance versus peer group. See Definitions for description.
  Charts plot market value performance (Total Shareholder Return)

Actual Compensation and Compensation Mix for Fiscal 2009
 
  A key issue in managing executive compensation is the compensation mix for each executive position. Companies that generate a tighter pay-for-performance linkage typically have a target executive "compensation mix" to support the compensation strategy.

The data below outlines actual compensation by peer group position. Compensation is then assessed for that position in the current year and Incentive Grants over three years.

Assessing actual compensation over a period of time is the only way to incorporate all compensation components. It is essential to assess any previous long-term incentive schemes that may be in current operation and typically not calculated within a current year compensation report.

 
  Companies may have an option plan where executives are granted options every 2 or 3 years.  
  Companies may have a 3-year performance incentive that grants incentives only every third year.

 
  Wealth creation is different to compensation though it is also readily calculated.

  Option Valuation using Black-Scholes  
 
 
  The following table shows all stock-option grants offered to executives in the analysed fiscal period. Each stock-option grant has several variables that are used to determine value. Volatility is a measure of the stock price volatility assessed over three-years from grant date. Two Black-Scholes values are shown. The first Black-Scholes value does not include annual dividend yields whereas the second value does include dividend yields. Dividend yield directly impacts the compensation value of stock-options that are granted to executives. A difference between these values is an indicator of the annual dividends the company delivers to shareholders. Dividend yield also directly impacts stock-option value for options granted and valued using Binomial Valuation. Do you want Binomial Valuation of stock-options?
