PART ONE – ATTENDANCE AND VOTING MATTERS

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING ATTENDANCE AND VOTING

Q:  Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

A:   You are receiving this proxy statement because the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Navistar International Corporation (“Navistar” or the “Company”) is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at our 2010 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is designed to assist you in voting your shares.

Q:  What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

A:   The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to have stockholders act upon the matters outlined in the notice of annual meeting and this proxy statement, which include (i) the election of the nominees named in this proxy statement as directors, (ii) the ratification of Navistar’s independent registered public accounting firm, (iii) the approval of an amendment to our 2004 Performance Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder from 3,250,000 to 5,750,000 and (iv) the approval of an amendment to our 2004 Performance Incentive Plan to modify the performance measures. In addition, management may report on the performance of Navistar and respond to questions from stockholders.

Q:  Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

A:   Anyone wishing to attend the Annual Meeting must have an admission ticket issued in his or her name. Admission is limited to:

 

   

stockholders of record on January 4, 2010, or

   

a stockholder’s authorized proxy holder or representative.

You must provide evidence of your ownership of shares with your ticket request. The specific requirements for obtaining an admission ticket are specified in the “Admission & Ticket Request Procedure” on page 69 of this proxy statement.

Q:  What is the difference between a stockholder of record and stock held in “street name”?

A:   A stockholder of record or registered stockholder is a stockholder whose ownership of Navistar stock is reflected directly on the books and records of our transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services (the “Transfer Agent”). If you hold stock through a bank, broker or other intermediary, you hold your shares in “street name” and are not a stockholder of record. For shares held in a street position, the record owner of the shares is your bank, broker or other intermediary. Navistar only has access to ownership records for the registered shares so, if you are not a registered stockholder, for the purpose of requesting a ticket to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company needs additional documentation to evidence your stock ownership as of the record date, such as, a copy of your brokerage account statement, a letter from your broker, bank or other nominee or a copy of your voting instruction card.

Q:  When is the record date and who is entitled to vote?

A:   The Board set January 4, 2010, as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Holders of Navistar common stock on that date are entitled to one vote per share. As of January 4, 2010, there were approximately 70,827,477 shares of Navistar common stock outstanding. If you are a participant in any

 

       Page 2        
    


Table of Contents

of the Company’s 401(k) or retirement savings plans, your proxy card will represent the number of shares allocated to your account under the plan and will serve as a direction to the plan’s trustee as to how the shares in your account are to be voted.

A list of all registered holders will be available for examination by stockholders during normal business hours at 4201 Winfield Road, Warrenville, Illinois 60555 at least ten days prior to the Annual Meeting and will also be available for examination at the Annual Meeting.

Q:  How do I vote?

A:   For stockholders of record: You may vote by any of the following methods:

 

   

in person stockholders who obtain an admission ticket (following the specified procedure) and attend the Annual Meeting will receive a ballot for voting.

 

   

by mail use the proxy and/or voting instruction card provided.

 

   

by phone or via the Internet follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy and/or voting instruction card.

If you vote by phone or via the Internet, please have your proxy and/or voting instruction card available. The control number appearing on your card is necessary to process your vote. A phone or Internet vote authorizes the named proxies in the same manner as if you marked, signed and returned the card by mail.

For holders in street name: You will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow in order for your shares to be voted.

Q:  How can I authorize someone else to vote for me?

A:   If you want to authorize someone other than the individual(s) named on the proxy card to vote for you:

 

   

cross out the individual(s) named and insert the name of the individual you are authorizing to vote; or

 

   

provide a written authorization to the individual you are authorizing to vote along with your proxy card.

For holders in street name: You should contact your broker to obtain documentation with authorization to attend or vote at the Annual Meeting.

To obtain an admission ticket for your authorized proxy representative, see the requirements specified in the “Admission & Ticket Request Procedure” on page 69 of this proxy statement.

Q:  How can I change or revoke my proxy?

A:   For stockholders of record: You may change or revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by (i) submitting a written notice of revocation to Navistar c/o the Corporate Secretary at 4201 Winfield Road, P.O. Box 1488, Warrenville, Illinois 60555, (ii) providing a later dated proxy, (iii) voting by telephone or Internet at a later time or (iv) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. For all methods of voting, the last vote cast will supersede all previous votes.

For holders in street name: You may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker.

Table of Contents

Q:  Is my vote confidential?

A:   Yes. Proxy cards, ballots and voting tabulations that identify stockholders are kept confidential. There are exceptions for contested proxy solicitations or when necessary to meet legal requirements. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., the independent proxy tabulator used by Navistar, counts the votes and acts as the inspector of election for the meeting.

Q:  Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

A:   If your shares are held in street name, your shares may be voted even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, your broker may vote shares held in street name on certain “routine” matters.

NYSE rules consider the ratification of the selection of independent auditors and the modification of the performance measurements and goals under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to be routine matters. As a result, your broker is permitted to vote your shares on those matters at its discretion without instruction from you. When a proposal is not a routine matter, such as the election of directors or the approval of an increase in the number of shares authorized and available for issuance under our 2004 Performance Incentive Plan and the beneficial owner of the shares has not provided voting instructions to the brokerage firm with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. This is called a broker non-vote.

Q:  What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

A:   Under Navistar’s bylaws, holders of at least one-third of the shares of Navistar common stock outstanding must be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Q:  What vote is necessary for action to be taken on proposals?

A:   Directors are elected by a plurality vote of the shares present at the Annual Meeting, meaning that the director nominees with the most affirmative votes are elected to fill the available seats. As outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, any director who receives more “withheld” votes than “for” votes in an uncontested election is required to tender his or her resignation to the Nominating and Governance Committee for consideration and recommendation to the Board. All other actions require an affirmative vote of the majority of shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of a vote against matters other than ratification of the selection of independent auditors and the modification of the performance measurements and goals under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which are considered routine matters as discussed above.

Votes submitted by mail, telephone or Internet will be voted by the individuals named on the card (or the individual properly authorized) in the manner indicated. If you do not specify how you want your shares voted, they will be voted in accordance with management’s recommendations. If you hold shares in more than one account, you must vote each proxy and/or voting instruction card you receive to ensure that all shares you own are voted.

Q:  What is house-holding?

A:   If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of Navistar common stock in street name, your broker or bank may have notified you that your household will receive only one annual report and proxy statement for each corporation in which you hold stock through that broker or bank. In this practice known as “house-holding,” you were deemed to have consented to that process. House-holding benefits both you and the Company because it reduces the volume of duplicate information

 

       Page 4        
    


Table of Contents

received at your household and helps the Company to reduce expenses. Accordingly, the Company and your broker or bank will send one copy of our annual report and proxy statement to your address. Each stockholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card or voting instruction card. We will promptly deliver an additional copy of either document to you if you call or write us at the following address or phone number: Investor Relations, Navistar International Corporation, 4201 Winfield Road, P.O. Box 1488, Warrenville, Illinois 60555, (630) 753-2143.

Q:  What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

A:   Whenever possible, registered shares and plan shares for multiple accounts with the same registration will be combined into the same proxy card. Shares with different registrations cannot be combined and as a result, the stockholder may receive more than one proxy card. For example, registered shares held individually by John Doe will not be combined on the same proxy card as registered shares held jointly by John Doe and his wife.

Street shares are not combined with registered or plan shares and may result in the stockholder receiving more than one proxy card. For example, street shares held by a broker for John Doe will not be combined with registered shares for John Doe.

If you hold shares in more than one account, you must vote each proxy and/or voting instruction card you receive to ensure that all shares you own are voted. If you receive more than one card for accounts that you believe could be combined because the registration is the same, contact our stock transfer agent (for registered shares) or your broker (for street shares) to request that the accounts be combined for future mailings.

Q:  Who pays for the solicitation of proxies?

A:   Navistar pays the cost of soliciting proxies. This solicitation is being made by mail, but also may be made by telephone, e-mail or in person. We have hired The Altman Group, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies. The Altman Group’s fees are estimated to be $10,500, plus out-of-pocket expenses, to assist in the solicitation. Proxies may also be solicited by our directors, officers and employees who will not be additionally compensated for those activities. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for sending proxy materials to stockholders and obtaining their votes.

Q:  When are stockholder proposals or nominations due for the 2011 annual meeting?

A:   Our annual meeting of stockholders is typically held on the third Tuesday in February. Accordingly, we expect to hold our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders on or around February 15, 2011. Under the rules of the SEC, we must receive any stockholder proposals to be included in our proxy statement for the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders no later than the close of business on September 14, 2010.

To otherwise seek to present a proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders or nominate directors, under our bylaws notice must be given not more than 180 days and not less than 120 days in advance of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s meeting. Therefore, based on the date of our Annual Meeting, advance notice of any nominations for directors and any other proposals sought to be presented at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders must be received between August 20, 2010 and October 19, 2010. All stockholder proposals and director nominations must be in accordance with our bylaws and delivered to Navistar by mail c/o the Corporate Secretary at 4201 Winfield Road, P.O. Box 1488, Warrenville, Illinois 60555.

Q:  Are there any matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting that are not included in the proxy?

A:   We do not know of any matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting other than those discussed in this proxy statement. If any other matter is presented, proxy holders will vote on the matter in their discretion.

Q:  May stockholders ask questions at the Annual Meeting?

A:   Yes. During the Annual Meeting, stockholders may ask questions or make remarks directly related to the matters being voted on. In order to ensure an orderly meeting, we ask that stockholders direct questions and comments to the Chairman. In order to provide the opportunity to every stockholder who wishes to speak, each stockholder’s remarks will be limited to two minutes. Stockholders may speak a second time only after all other stockholders who wish to speak have had their turn.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

þ   PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board consists of 10 directors. One director is appointed by the United Automobiles, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (the “UAW”) and is not part of our classified Board. The remaining 9 directors are divided into three equal classes for purposes of election (i.e., Class I, Class II and Class III). Only members of Class II of our classified Board are up for election at the Annual Meeting. The nominees were evaluated and recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee in accordance with the process for nominating directors as found on page 14 of this proxy statement. If elected, the Class II Directors will hold office for an additional three year term expiring in 2013, or until their earlier death, resignation or retirement.

If a nominee is unavailable for election, proxy holders will vote for another nominee proposed by the Board or, as an alternative, the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEES PRESENTED IN PROPOSAL 1.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND APPROVAL POLICY

We established the Navistar International Corporation Executive Stock Ownership Program in 1997 to more closely align the interests of stockholders and our senior management. Under this program all of our executive officers and certain senior managers are required to purchase and hold a specified amount of our common stock equal to a multiple of his or her annual base salary. Certain executive officers received full-recourse loans for the purchase price of our common stock they purchased through the program. Effective July 30, 2002, we ceased offering to our executive officers loans under this program. The loans extended to our executive officers prior to July 30, 2002, however, remain in effect in accordance with their then existing terms and conditions. These existing loans accrue interest at the applicable federal rate (as determined by Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code) on the purchase date (or date of refinance) for loans of stated maturity, compounded annually, are unsecured obligations and have a nine-year term.

For current outstanding loans, principal and interest is due at maturity in a balloon payment.

Our Policy and Procedures with Respect to Related Person Transactions governs the review, approval and ratification of transactions involving the Company and related persons where the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Related persons include our executive officers, directors, director nominees, 5% stockholders and immediate family members of such persons and entities in which one of these persons has a direct or indirect material interest. Under this policy, prior to entering into any related-person transaction, the General Counsel or Corporate Secretary of Navistar is to be notified of the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction, including: (i) the related person’s relationship to the Company and interest in the transaction; (ii) the material facts of the proposed transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of such transaction or, in the case of indebtedness, the amount of principal that would be involved; (iii) the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; (iv) if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; and (v) an assessment of whether the proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally.

The General Counsel or Corporate Secretary then assesses whether the proposed transaction is a related-person transaction for purposes of the policy and SEC rules. If the General Counsel or Corporate Secretary determines that the proposed transaction is a related-person transaction, the proposed transaction is then submitted to the Audit Committee of the Board for its consideration. The Audit Committee considers all of the relevant facts and circumstances available, including (if applicable) but not limited to: (i) the benefits to the Company; (ii) the impact on a director’s independence, in the event such person is a director; (iii) the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; (iv) the terms of the transaction; and (v) the terms available to

unrelated third parties or to employees generally. No member of the Audit Committee shall participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related-person transaction with respect to which such member or any of his or her immediate family members is the related person. The Audit Committee approves only those proposed transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as determined by the Audit Committee in good faith. In the event that the Company becomes aware of a related-person transaction that has not been previously approved or ratified, a similar process will be undertaken in order to determine if the existing transaction should continue or be terminated and/or if any disciplinary action is appropriate. The General Counsel or Corporate Secretary may also develop, implement and maintain from time to time certain administrative procedures to ensure the effectiveness of this policy.

A copy of our Policy and Procedures with Respect to Related Person Transactions is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://ir.navistar.com/documentdisplay.cfm?DocumentID=3617.

For fiscal year 2009 and to the date of this proxy statement, the following five related-person transactions occurred:

 

   

The first occurred in June 2009 and related to a lump sum payment in the amount of $2.5 million to the surviving spouse of the Company’s former Director and Chief Financial Officer, Terry M. Endsley. Mr. Endsley passed away in April 2009. The Compensation Committee determined that in light of Mr. Endsley’s career-long commitment, major contributions to the Company, positive impact during the restatement process and the fact that he missed the Company’s Management Retirement Objective (“MRO”) eligibility by months at the time of his death, it was appropriate to make this lump sum payment to Mrs. Endsley. Since Mr. Endsley was a Director and Chief Financial Officer during a portion of fiscal year 2009, he and his spouse were subject to our Policy and Procedures with Respect to Related Person Transactions. The Audit Committee determined that the lump sum payment to the surviving spouse of the Company’s former Director and Chief Financial Officer, Terry M. Endsley, is not inconsistent with the best interests of the Company and approved the transaction.

 

   

The second originally occurred in June 2009 and was ratified in December 2009 and related to Diane H. Gulyas, a Director of the Company, and her service as fundraising chair of the United Way, Delaware. The Company contributed in excess of $120,000 to the United Way in support of its fundraising campaign and expects to do so again in 2010. None of these contributions were made to United Way, Delaware and Ms. Gulyas did not participate in the solicitation of these contributions, nor did she receive any direct or indirect material benefit from that relationship. After consideration of the matter the Audit Committee determined that this related person transaction is not inconsistent with the best interests of the Company and ratified and approved the transaction.

 

   

The third originally occurred in August 2008 and related to our Vice President and Treasurer, James M. Moran, in regards to his wife Kristin Moran’s employment as the General Counsel of our finance subsidiary, Navistar Financial Corporation. As General Counsel of Navistar Financial Corporation, Mrs. Moran receives compensation in excess of $120,000 per year. Since Mrs. Moran’s employment pre-dated Mr. Moran’s appointment as our Vice President and Treasurer, that relationship was permissible under the applicable provisions of our Policy and Procedures with Respect to Related Person Transactions and did not require Audit Committee approval. Any material change in the terms of Mrs. Moran’s employment would, however, need to be approved by the Audit Committee.

The fourth originally occurred in December 2007 and was ratified in December 2009 and related to the retention of Evercore Trust Company as an investment manager for certain of our employee benefit plan trusts as more fully described in footnote (D) to the table disclosing more than 5% owners of our common stock on page 29 of this proxy statement. As compensation for its investment manager services, Evercore Trust Company is paid an aggregate yearly service fee of $250,000. The Audit Committee determined that the investment manager service provided by Evercore Trust Company is not inconsistent with the best interests of the Company and ratified and approved the transaction.

 

   

The fifth occurred in September 2009 and relates to our Chief Financial Officer, Andrew Cederoth, whose brother in law, Daniel McEachern, is a sourcing manager at Navistar, Inc. As sourcing manager at Navistar, Mr. McEachern received compensation in excess of $120,000 per year. Since Mr. McEachern’s employment predated Mr. Cederoth’s appointment as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, that relationship was permissible under the applicable provisions of our Policy and Procedures with Respect to Related Person Transactions and did not require Audit Committee approval. Any material change in the terms of Mr. McEachern’s employment would, however, need to be approved by the Audit Committee.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE DETERMINATIONS

We believe that a majority of our members of our Board should be independent non-employee directors. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Clariond, Correnti, Hammes, Harrison, Keyes, Klinger, Osborne and Williams and Ms. Gulyas qualifies as an “independent director” in accordance with the NYSE’s independence requirements and our own internal guidelines for determining director independence and is financially literate. All of the members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Finance Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee are independent and financially literate.

Both the NYSE requirements and our own guidelines include a series of objective tests for determining the independence of a director, such as that the director is not an employee of Navistar and has not engaged in various types of commercial or charitable relationships with Navistar. A copy of our existing guidelines for determining director independence, as included in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://ir.navistar.com/documentdisplay.cfm?DocumentID=1309. Our Board has made a determination as to each independent director that no relationship exists which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and Navistar with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to Navistar, its management and/or its independent registered public accounting firm. We intend to explain in our public filings the basis for any determination by the Board that a relationship is not material if the relationship does not satisfy one of the specific categories of immaterial relations contained in our existing guidelines.

NOMINATING DIRECTORS

If you want to recommend a director candidate, you must do so in accordance with our bylaws that require advance notice to the Company and provide the information described therein. If you are interested in recommending a director candidate, you should request a copy of the bylaw provisions by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 4201 Winfield Road, P.O. Box 1488, Warrenville, Illinois 60555.

The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies nominees for directors from various sources, including suggestions from Board members and management, and in the past has used third party consultants to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider persons recommended by the stockholders in the same manner as a committee-recommended nominee. The Nominating and Governance Committee has specified the following minimum qualifications that it believes must be met by a nominee for a position on the Board:

 

   

have the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity and values that are compatible with the Company’s values;

 

   

have had experiences and achievements that have given them the ability to exercise good business judgment;

 

   

can make significant contributions to the Company’s success;

 

   

are willing to devote the necessary time to the work of the Board and its committees which includes being available for the entire time of meetings;

 

   

can assist and evaluate the Company’s management;

 

       Page 14        
    


Table of Contents
   

are involved only in other activities or interests that do not create a conflict with their responsibilities to the Company and its stockholders;

 

   

understand and meet their responsibilities to the Company’s stockholders including the duty of care (making informed decisions) and the duty of loyalty (maintaining confidentiality and avoiding conflicts of interest); and

 

   

have the potential to serve on the Board for at least five years.

The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that consideration should also be given to having a diversity of backgrounds, skills, and perspectives among the directors, and that generally directors should not be persons whose primary activity is investment banking, law, accounting, or consulting. In addition, the selection of directors should consider the need to strengthen the Board by providing a diversity of persons in terms of their expertise, age, sex, race, education, and other attributes which contribute to the Board’s diversity. As outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, any director who receives more “withheld” votes than “for” votes in an uncontested election is required to tender his or her resignation to the Nominating and Governance Committee for consideration and recommendation to the Board. The Board will publicly disclose its decision.

BOARD MEETINGS, COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMITTEES

The Board has documented its governance practices in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. These governance standards embody many of our long-standing practices, policies and procedures, which are the foundation of our commitment to best practices. In December 2009, the Board conducted an evaluation of the directors, the committees and the Board.

The Board has five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, an Executive Committee, a Finance Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of the committees, except for the Executive Committee, is governed by a written charter, copies of which are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://ir.navistar.com/documents.cfm.

In fiscal year 2009, the full Board met 13 times. In addition, the Board’s independent directors met 2 times in regularly scheduled executive sessions to evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and to discuss corporate strategies. The Chairs of our Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Governance and Finance committees of the Board each preside as the chair at meetings or executive sessions of outside directors at which the principal items to be considered are within the scope of the authority of his or her committee. Any interested party may communicate with the chair of any of these committees by sending an e-mail to presiding.director@navistar.com or by writing to the Presiding Director c/o the Corporate Secretary, at 4201 Winfield Road, P.O. Box 1488, Warrenville, Illinois 60555. In addition, you can contact any of our directors or our Board as a group by writing to them c/o the Corporate Secretary at the same address. All communications will be received and processed by the Corporate Secretary in his discretion. Communications that relate to ordinary business matters that are not within the scope of the Board’s responsibilities will be forwarded to the appropriate employee within the Company. Solicitations, junk email and obviously frivolous or inappropriate communications will not be forwarded. You will receive a written acknowledgement from the Corporate Secretary’s Office upon receipt of your communication.

All of the directors attended 75% or more of all the meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she serves. The Company encourages all Board members to attend all meetings, including the Annual Meeting. Nine out of the then eleven directors attended our 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Management of the Company has the primary responsibility for the integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company, including the system of internal controls. The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (the “Auditors”) are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor these processes. In this regard, the Audit Committee meets periodically with management, the internal auditors and the Auditors. The Audit Committee has the authority to conduct or authorize investigations into any matters within the scope of its responsibilities and the authority to retain such outside counsel, experts and other advisors as it determines appropriate to assist it in conducting any such investigations. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting and, if appropriate, replacing our auditors, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”).

The Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s auditors the overall scope and execution of the independent audit and has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Discussions about the Company’s audited financial statements included the auditors’ judgments about not only the acceptability of the accounting principles, but also the quality, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the auditors other matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 The Auditor’s Communication With Those Charged With Governance. The Auditors provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed the auditors’ independence with management and the Auditors. The Audit Committee concluded that the Auditors’ independence had not been impaired.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and KPMG, and subject to the limitations on the roles and responsibilities of the Audit Committee referred to above and in the Audit Committee’s written charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 for filing with the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee has engaged KPMG to serve as the Company’s Independent Registered Accounting Firm for 2010.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEE INFORMATION

In January 2009 our Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm. The following table presents aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed by KPMG for audit services and fees for audit-related services (including associated out-of-pocket costs) incurred for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, on our behalf:

 

 

(in millions)

Audit fees

 

  $21.3   $25.3

 

Audit-related fees

 

      0.4       0.2

 

Tax fees

 

        –         –

 

All Other fees

 

        –         –

 

Total fees

 

  $21.7   $25.5

A description of the types of services provided in each category is as follows:

Audit FeesThese are fees for professional services for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, limited review of our quarterly consolidated financial statements, and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. This includes fees for the audit of Navistar Financial Corporation (“NFC”) and fees in connection with the SEC investigation related to our financial statements.

Audit-Related Fees These are fees for the assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, including procedures related to our and NFC’s financing transactions.

Tax Fees – These are fees for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. For 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred less than $100,000 in tax fees.

All Other Fees – These are fees for permissible products and services provided by KPMG that do not meet the above categories. For 2009 and 2008, the Company did not incur any other fees.

The Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided to us in accordance with the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy. In accordance with the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee annually considers for pre-approval all proposed audit and non-audit services which are known early in the year to be performed in the coming year by our independent registered public accounting firm and the estimated fees for such services. Additional fees related to certain audit-related or non-audit services proposed to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm may be pre-approved by management, so long as the fees for such additional services individually or in the aggregate do not exceed $400,000 in any 12-month period, and are reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled committee meeting. Other proposed audit-related or non-audit services (not within the scope of the approved engagement) may be considered and, if appropriate, pre-approved by the chair of the Audit Committee if the related additional fees are estimated to be less than $250,000, otherwise the Audit Committee must pre-approve all additional audit-related and non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. In making its decision to utilize our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considers whether the provision of such services is compatible

with maintaining that firm’s independence and to that end receives certain representations from the firm regarding their independence and permissibility under applicable laws and regulations of non-audit services provided by the firm to us.

 

 

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

þ PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board seeks an indication from stockholders of their approval or disapproval of the Audit Committee’s appointment of KPMG as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for fiscal 2010. KPMG has been the Company’s auditors since 2006. For additional information regarding the Company’s relationship with KPMG, please refer to the Audit Committee Report on page 18 of this proxy statement and the Audit Fees presented on page 19 of this proxy statement.

If the appointment of KPMG as auditors for 2010 is not approved by the stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered a direction to the Audit Committee to consider other auditors for next year. However, because of the difficulty in making any substitution of auditors after the beginning of the current year, the appointment for fiscal 2010 will stand, unless the Audit Committee finds other good reason for making a change.

Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. The representatives will also be available to respond to questions at the Annual Meeting.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.

 

 

2004 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN MODIFICATIONS

 

On February 17, 2004, the stockholders of the Company approved our 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), including the performance measurements and goals set forth therein. The Plan has been amended from time to time. The Plan is an “omnibus” type of equity compensation plan that provides the Company the means by which to grant annual incentive compensation (i.e., bonuses) as well as long-term incentive compensation to its key employees. The types of awards that are used for employees under the Plan are primarily performance-based cash and stock awards, restricted stock and stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and stock options. The Plan also allows the Company to provide equity compensation to its non-employee directors and consultants. Set forth below the Proposals is a description of the material features of the Plan.

On December 15, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved amendments to the Plan to (i) increase the number of shares authorized and available for issuance under the Plan from 3,250,000 to 5,750,000, (ii) modify the performance measurements and goals set forth in Section VI the Plan to include earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), (iii) extend the period of time in which an option holder is permitted under the Plan (other than on account of death, total and permanent disability or qualified retirement) to exercise vested stock options from 90 days to 12 months and (iv) modify the change in control provisions set forth in Section XX of the Plan to provide for the vesting of awards only upon both a change in control and a termination event (a “double trigger event”) as opposed to the original vesting of awards solely upon a change in control (a “single trigger event”). The amendments numbered (iii) and (iv) discussed above do not require approval of stockholders and therefore your approval is not being requested hereunder. Amendment number (i) discussed above requires stockholder approval under NYSE rules and amendment number (ii) discussed above requires stockholder approval under the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, stockholder approval is solely being requested on matters (i) and (ii) discussed above.

þ PROPOSAL 3—APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR 2004 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER FROM 3,250,000 TO 5,750,000

We are asking for the approval of an amendment to our Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder from 3,250,000 to 5,750,000. We believe that issuing these additional shares under the Plan is necessary to continue to meet the Company’s objectives of attracting, motivating and retaining employees, directors and consultants. You are being asked to approve this amendment to the Plan.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3.

þ PROPOSAL 4—APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR 2004 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN TO MODIFY THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, we are also asking for the authority to amend the Plan to include “earnings before interest and taxes” as one of the performance measures of the Plan. Specifically, the approval of the material terms of the performance measurements under the Plan is required under Section 162(m) of the Code to preserve the Company’s deduction for compensation relating to certain awards granted under the Plan to certain executive officers. We believe that revising the performance measures is necessary to continue to meet the Company’s objectives of attracting, motivating and retaining employees, directors and consultants. You are being asked to approve this amendment to the Plan.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 4.

Material Features of the Plan

The following is a summary of the material features of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, which, as amended and restated, is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Eligibility. Employees eligible to be considered for awards under the Plan are key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company’s executive officers, who are designated by the Compensation Committee (typically senior managers and above). All non-employee directors and consultants are also eligible to be considered for certain awards under the Plan. As of January 4, 2010, there were approximately 10 current or former non-employee directors, 2 current consultants and 303 current or former key employees eligible to participate in the Plan.

Shares Authorized under the Plan. A total of 3,250,000 shares of common stock are reserved for awards under the Plan. If the amendment authorizing the issuance of 2,500,000 additional shares is approved, there will be a total of 5,750,000 shares of common stock reserved for awards under the Plan. No more than 1,000,000 of these shares may be used over the term of the Plan for awards other than stock options. In addition, the total number of shares of common stock that will be available as awards under the Plan in any calendar year to any one individual will not exceed 1,000,000 shares. Shares subject to awards under the Plan or any other prior plan that are cancelled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash, tendered to satisfy the purchase price of an award, withheld to satisfy tax obligations or otherwise terminated without a delivery of shares to the participant again become available for awards under the Plan. The Compensation Committee may make appropriate adjustments in the number of shares available under the Plan to reflect any stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, spinoffs or other similar event. As of January 4, 2010, 561,090 shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the Plan.

Plan Benefits. Future benefits under the Plan are not currently determinable. Moreover, the benefits to any director, officer, employee or consultant from future equity awards will not increase by reason of approval of these proposals. Whether future awards will be made will depend on Compensation Committee action, and the value of any future equity awards will ultimately depend on the future price of the Company’s common stock, among other factors, and will be subject to such vesting conditions as the Compensation Committee determines from time to time. For further details on the awards granted for fiscal 2009, please refer to the executive and director compensation tables beginning on pages 43 and 61, respectively, of this proxy statement.

In accordance with SEC rules, the following table lists all options granted to the individuals and groups indicated below since the adoption of the Plan in 2004. The option awards listed below for the covered executives and directors include the option awards listed in the executive and director compensation tables beginning on pages 43 and 61, respectively, of this proxy statement and are not additional awards. As of January 4, 2010, the closing price of Navistar stock on the NYSE was $40.145 per share.

Administration. The Compensation Committee has been designated by the Board to administer all awards under the Plan. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the employees, non-employee directors and consultants who will participate in the Plan, the size and types of the awards, the performance levels at which awards will be earned and the terms and conditions of such awards, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee has full and final authority to interpret the Plan.

Effective Date; Term of the Plan. The effective date of the Plan is February 17, 2004 and the effective date of the amendments contemplated by these proposals if approved would be February 16, 2010. The term of the Plan is ten years from February 17, 2004. No awards may be granted under the Plan after February 16, 2014, but awards made before that date may continue to be exercisable and/or to vest after that date, and will otherwise be governed by the terms of the Plan.

Awards under the Plan. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, (i) employees may be granted awards under the Plan in the form of annual cash incentive awards, stock options, restricted stock or stock unit awards, SARs or other awards, as described below, (ii) non-employee directors may be granted awards in the form of non-qualified stock options or restricted stock or stock units awards, as described below and (iii) consultants may be granted awards in the form of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock or stock units awards, SARs or other stock based awards as described below. Such awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem.

Stock Options. The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, which are intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, to employees and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants. A stock option is a right to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified grant price. All stock options granted under the Plan must have an exercise price per share that is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and a term of no more than ten years. The grant price, number of shares, term and conditions of exercise, whether an option will qualify as an incentive stock option under the Code or a non-qualified stock option, and other terms of a stock option grant will be determined by the Compensation Committee as of the grant date.

Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, one-third of the stock options will become exercisable after one year from the date of the grant, an additional one-third after two years from the date of the grant and the final one-third after three years after the date of the grant. Subject to certain exceptions, (i) for stock options granted prior to December 15, 2009, they will expire three months after the termination of a participant’s employment or service with the Company and (ii) for stock options granted on or after December 15, 2009, they will expire twelve months after the termination of a participant’s employment or service with the Company. If a participant dies while employed by or serving the Company or after retirement, all outstanding stock options will fully vest, and may be exercised by the personal representatives or distributees, for a period of two years after the date of death. If an employee terminates employment or service on or after age 55 with ten or more years of continuous service, or in the case of a non-employee director, retires from the Board in accordance with Board’s retirement policy, the participant may thereafter exercise stock options according to their original terms.

The exercise price of any stock option must be paid in full at the time the stock option is exercised in cash, by means of net settlement or in common stock owned by the participant or by

 

       Page 23        
    


Table of Contents

a combination of cash and common stock. In addition, the participant must remit an amount in cash or common stock sufficient to satisfy tax withholding requirements or choose to net settle the stock option exercise.

Provisions that permit a participant to elect to “restore” a stock option upon exercise may be contained in the terms of the stock options awarded to employees or consultants. However, the Compensation Committee may not reprice, or otherwise discount, any outstanding stock option. Restoration provisions under the Plan generally permit the exercise of vested non-qualified stock options (the “underlying option”) by use of common stock that has been owned by the participant, for at least six months if acquired from the Company. New “restoration” stock options are then granted to the participant at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant of the restoration option in an amount equal to the number of shares that were used to exercise the underlying stock option, plus the number of shares that were withheld for the required tax liability. The restoration stock option will have a term equal to the remaining term of the underlying option, will generally become exercisable six months after the date of grant, and otherwise will have the same general terms and conditions of other non-qualified stock option granted under the Plan. The shares that represent the difference between the exercise price of the underlying option and the value of the shares on the date of exercise (less withholding taxes) generally cannot be transferred by the participant for a period of three years after exercise of the underlying option. Prior to January 1, 2005, a participant may have elected to defer delivery of those shares. For any grants made under the Plan after January 1, 2005, participants may no longer defer delivery of those shares. Non-employee directors may not be granted restoration stock options under the Plan. In December 2008, the Compensation Committee approved the elimination of the Restoration Stock Option Program under the Plan in connection with future long-term incentive grants, beginning with the grants made in December 2008.

Restricted Stock and Stock Units. The Plan also provides for the granting of stock awards to employees, consultants and non-employee directors that consist of grants of restricted common stock or units denominated in common stock. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any award of restricted stock or stock unit will be decided by the Compensation Committee. However, any restricted stock and stock unit award must have a minimum restriction period of three years from the date of grant, except that the Plan provides for earlier vesting upon a termination due to death. Participants holding restricted stock awarded under the Plan will be entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Plan also provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other stock-based awards to employees and consultants that the Compensation Committee deems consistent with the purposes of the Plan. A SAR is a right to receive a payment, in cash or common stock, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a specified number of shares of common stock over a specified grant price. A SAR may be granted to the holder of a stock option with respect to all or a portion of the shares of common stock subject to such stock option (a “tandem” SAR) or may be granted separately. The holder of a tandem SAR may elect to exercise either the stock option or the SAR, but not both. All SARs granted under the Plan must have an exercise price per share that is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and a term of no more than ten years. The grant price, term, number of shares, terms and conditions of exercise, and other terms of a SAR grant will be fixed by the Compensation Committee as of the grant date.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards. The Plan also provides for the granting of annual cash incentive awards to employees contingent on attainment of performance or other objectives established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. Generally, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any cash incentive award will be decided in the

 

       Page 24        
    


Table of Contents

discretion of the Compensation Committee. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, amounts payable in respect of cash incentive awards granted under the Plan may be deferred.

Performance Measures. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, any of the above-described awards to employees may be contingent on attainment of performance goals which are based on one or more of the following pre-established criteria: (a) income measures; (b) return measures; (c) cash flow, cash flow return on investments, which equals net cash flows divided by owners equity; (d) gross revenues from operations; (e) total revenue; (f) cash value added; (g) economic value added; (h) share price; (i) sales growth; (j) market share; (k) the achievement of certain quantitatively and objectively determinable non-financial performance measures; (l) earnings before interest and taxes; and (m) any combination of, or a specified increase in, any of the foregoing (the “Performance Measures”). As noted in Proposal 4 on page 21, we are asking for authority to amend the Plan to include “earnings before interest and taxes” as one of the Performance Measures of the Plan.

Where applicable, Performance Measures will be expressed in terms of attaining a specified level of the particular criteria or attaining a specified increase (or decrease) in the particular criteria and may be applied to the performance of the employee or the Company as a whole, at a subsidiary level or at an operating unit level, or a combination thereof, all as determined by the Compensation Committee. Generally, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any award that is subject to the attainment of the Performance Measures will be decided by the Compensation Committee. Performance Measures may include varying levels of performance at which different percentages of the award will be made (or specified vesting will occur). The achievement of Performance Measures will be subject to certification by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the authority to make equitable adjustments to the Performance Measures. In no event will the performance period for any performance-based equity award be less than one year.

At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, certain awards granted under the Plan that are subject to the attainment of one or more of the Performance Measures will be intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) generally disallows deductions for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 for some executive officers unless the compensation qualifies as performance-based compensation. The Plan contains provisions consistent with the Section 162(m) requirements for performance-based compensation. However, the Compensation Committee may award non-deductible compensation when such grants are in the best interest of the Company, balancing tax efficiency with long-term strategic objectives.

Employee Award Limitations. Under the Plan, no employee may be granted during any fiscal year:

• Stock Options and/or SARs that are exercisable for more than 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate;

• Restricted stock and/or stock units covering or relating to more than 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate; or

• Cash incentive awards having a value, as determined on the date of grant, in excess of $4,000,000.

Transferability. Awards made under the Plan may not be assigned or otherwise encumbered, except as provided by the participant’s last will and testament and by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

Change in Control. For any award issued prior to January 1, 2010, the Plan provided that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), all restricted stock and stock unit awards would be immediately vested and free of all restrictions, and all outstanding unexercised stock options would become immediately exercisable and remain fully exercisable for a period of three years from the date of the Change in Control. For any award issued on or after January 1, 2010, the Plan provides that upon both (x) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) and (y) either immediately before the date on which the Change in Control occurred or during the 36 month period after the date of the then-most recent Change in Control, certain termination events should occur with respect to such Plan participant, then all of such participant’s restricted stock and stock unit awards will be immediately vested and free of all restrictions, and all outstanding unexercised stock options will become immediately exercisable and remain fully exercisable for a period of three years from the date of the Change in Control.

Amendment, Modification, and Termination. The Compensation Committee may amend, modify, or terminate the Plan, at any time, except that stockholder approval is required for any amendment that would (i) increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan or increase the limits applicable to awards under the Plan; (ii) lower the exercise price of a stock option or SAR grant value below 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant; (iii) remove the prohibition on repricing set forth in the Plan; or (iv) require stockholder approval as a matter of law or under rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax aspects of awards that may be made under the Plan based on existing U.S. federal income tax laws. This summary is general in nature and does not address issues related to the tax circumstances of any particular participant. This discussion is not to be construed as tax advice.

Restricted Stock and Stock Units Awards. Generally, the grant of restricted stock has no federal income tax consequences at the time of grant. Rather, at the time the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (as defined in the Code), the grantee will recognize ordinary income to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date the risk of forfeiture ceases over the participant’s cost for such stock (if any). A grantee may, however, elect to be taxed at the time of the grant. The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the time and in the amount that the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

In general, no taxable income is realized by a participant in the Plan upon the award of stock units. Such participant generally would include in ordinary income the fair market value of the award of stock at the time shares of stock are delivered free of any substantial risk of forfeiture. The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the time and in the amount that the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Stock Options and SARs. Some of the stock options issuable under the Plan may constitute incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, while other options granted under the Plan may be non-qualified stock options. Generally, in the case of an incentive stock option, the optionee will not recognize any income for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the grant of the incentive stock option. However, upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, the difference between the exercise price of the incentive stock option and the fair market value of the common stock at the time of exercise is an item of tax preference that may require payment of an alternative minimum tax. An optionee will generally realize taxable income upon the sale of shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option. If certain holding period requirements have been satisfied with respect to outstanding shares so acquired, taxable income will constitute long-term capital gain and the Company will not be entitled to a tax deduction.

 

       Page 26        
    


Table of Contents

In the case of the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the optionee will generally not be taxed upon the grant of an option. Rather, at the time of exercise of the non-qualified stock option, the optionee will generally recognize ordinary taxable income (subject to withholding) in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price. The Company is generally entitled to a deduction at the time and in an amount equal to the income recognized by the optionee.

A grant of SARs has no federal income tax consequences at the time of grant. Upon exercise of SARs the amount of any cash received by the holder under the Plan will be subject to ordinary income tax in the year of receipt, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes.

Cash Incentive Awards. The recipient of a cash incentive award normally will recognize ordinary income at the time the payment is received, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes.

General. In addition to ordinary income tax, amounts that are treated as wages will be subject to payroll tax and withholding by the Company.

Outstanding Stock Options

In order to provide stockholders with a better understanding of the outstanding stock options held by executives, employees and directors, we have provided the following tables, which sets forth information regarding stock options outstanding on January 4, 2010. As noted in the table below, our executives and employees have continued to hold their stock options after they vested, and, in some cases for periods in excess of 6 years. Consequently, as more stock options remain outstanding, this overhang increases our total potential dilution. Our total potential dilution, including all outstanding equity awards, as well as the shares being requested in this proposal would be 12.44%(1). If we exclude the in-the-money stock options that have been outstanding for more than 6 years, our dilution is only 10.38% (1).

Dilution was calculated as all shares remaining available for grant under existing plans, plus the 2,500,000 shares requested in this proposal, plus all shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options (with or without the in-the-money options outstanding for more than 6 years) and vesting of outstanding restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares divided by (i) basic common shares outstanding + (ii) shares in the numerator – all as of January 4, 2010.

The Company continues to manage its burn rate of equity awards granted over time to levels it believes are reasonable and appropriate. The Company’s three-year average burn rate was 0.83%, significantly below the 2% limit used by many advisory groups. Burn rate was calculated as the three year average of the total number of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares awarded during each year divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for each fiscal year.

(C)

As reported in Schedule 13G, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed May 19, 2006 with the SEC by Navistar, Navistar, Inc. (formerly known as International Truck and Engine Corporation (“International”)), International Truck and Engine Corporation Non-Contributory Retirement Plan Trust (the “Hourly Trust”), International Truck and Engine Corporation Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees Trust (the “Salaried Trust”), and International Truck and Engine Corporation Retiree Health Benefit Trust (the “Health Benefit Trust” and together with Hourly Trust and Salaried Trust, the “Trusts”)). It is reported in the Schedule 13G/A that on November 8, 2002 Navistar sold an aggregate amount of 7,755,030 shares of its common stock, in three separate transactions as follows: 4,653,018 shares to the Hourly Trust, 1,551,006 shares to the Salaried Trust and 1,551,006 shares to the Health Benefit Trust. Each trust is a funding trust for an employee benefit plan sponsored by International. The trust agreements of the Hourly Trust and the Salaried Trust provide that the trustee of the trust is only a directed trustee with respect to Navistar stock held by the trusts and that the Pension Fund Investment Committee of International (whose members are for the most part executive officers of Navistar, the “PFIC”), or an investment manager designated by the PFIC, is to direct the trustee with respect to the voting or disposition of Navistar stock. The trust agreement for the Health Benefit Trust provides that International, or an investment manager appointed by International, is to direct the trustee with respect to voting and disposition of Navistar stock. International delegated authority for such matters related to the Health Benefit Trust to the PFIC. Jennison Associates LLC had subsequently been appointed the investment manager for each trust with respect to the Navistar stock, and Jennison had been given discretionary authority regarding voting and disposition of the Navistar stock. Subsequently, on May 8, 2006, the United States Trust Company, National Association (“US Trust”) was appointed as investment manager for each of the trusts to replace Jennison Associates, LLC who resigned its appointment effective the close of business May 7, 2006. Like Jennison, US Trust had been given discretionary authority regarding voting and disposition power over the Navistar stock. Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) bought US Trust and served as successor in interest to US Trust’s business. Effective May 1, 2009, BAC completed the sale of its Special Fiduciary Services (“SFS”) business to Evercore Partners (“Evercore”), at which time Evercore became the successor trustee of certain trusts administered by SFS. A portion of the shares reported by BAC on Schedule 13G for Navistar were beneficially owned prior to May 1, 2009 by BAC as a result of SFS acting in its capacity as a trustee over certain shares of Navistar. In connection with the sale, from May 1 until May 29, 2009, BAC provided certain transitional services to Evercore as its agent with regard to the SFS accounts (the Accounts), as a result of which BAC may be deemed for Section 13 purposes to have had dispositive power over the shares of Navistar during that time. After May 29, 2009, BAC ceased to provide those services to Evercore with respect to the Accounts, including the shares of Navistar that Evercore held as trustee. See paragraph D below. Since the PFIC and Navistar have the power to revoke or change the appointment of Evercore (and therefore reacquire the voting and dispositive control over the Navistar stock), the committee, International or Navistar could be considered “beneficial owners” of the Navistar stock. Please note on May 6, 2009, the Trusts sold 1,500,000 shares of Navistar stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, but this sale is not reflected in the beneficial ownership amount above because under Rule 13d-2(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, the Trusts do not need to file an amended Schedule 13G until 45 days after the end of the calendar year.

 

(D)

As reported in Schedule 13G, as amended by Amendment No. 4, filed June 10, 2009 with the SEC by Evercore Trust Company, N.A (“Evercore Trust”). It is reported in the Schedule 13G/A that 6,255,030 shares or 8.88% of the common stock outstanding of Navistar are beneficially owned by Evercore Trust, over which it has sole voting power and sole dispositive power. This filing amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed by Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) with the SEC on February 13, 2009. Effective May 1, 2009, BAC completed the sale of its Special Fiduciary Services (“SFS”) business to Evercore Partners (“Evercore”), at which time Evercore became the successor trustee of certain trusts administered by SFS. A portion of the shares reported by BAC on Schedule 13G for Navistar were beneficially owned prior to May 1, 2009 by BAC as a result of SFS acting in its capacity as a trustee over certain shares of Navistar. In connection with the sale, from May 1 until May 29, 2009, BAC provided certain transitional services to Evercore as its agent with regard to the SFS accounts (the Accounts), as a result of which BAC may be deemed for Section 13 purposes to have had dispositive power over the shares of Navistar during that time. After May 29, 2009, BAC ceased to provide those services to Evercore with respect to the Accounts, including the shares of Navistar Evercore held as trustee. Please note that the number of shares beneficially owned by Evercore differs from the amount reflected in (C) above because the Schedule 13G filed by Evercore reflects the 1,500,000 shares sold by the Trusts on May 6, 2009.

The deferral feature has been eliminated with respect to future stock option grants under the 2004 Performance Incentive Plan and for non-qualified stock options granted from prior plans that vest on or after January 1, 2005.

COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis for Fiscal 2009 (November 1, 2008 – October 31, 2009)

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of our Board has the responsibility to approve and monitor all compensation and benefit programs for our executive officers (designated as Section 16 Officers) and makes recommendations for the compensation and benefits of our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), which is then approved by the independent members of our Board. As part of its responsibility, the Committee reviews the performance of executive officers and approves compensation based on the overall successes of the individual executive, his or her specific business unit to the extent applicable, and the organization as a whole. The Committee is governed by a written charter, a copy of which is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://ir.navistar.com/documentdisplay.cfm?DocumentID=809.

Our executive compensation program for our named executive officers (“NEOs”), as well as other executives, is designed to closely align executive rewards with corporate, group and individual performance and the total return to stockholders. We developed an overall compensation philosophy that is built on a foundation of guiding principles:

 

   

Competitive Positioning: Total remuneration is designed to attract and retain the executive talent required to achieve our goals through a market competitive total remuneration package.

 

   

Performance Orientation: Executive compensation is performance-based with a direct link to Company, business unit, and individual performance. It is also designed to align the interests of executives and stockholders.

 

       Page 32        
    


Table of Contents
   

Fairness: Compensation programs are designed to be fair and equitable across all employee groups and should not unfairly discriminate in favor of any one individual or group on the basis of age, service, or other non-performance related criteria.

 

   

Ownership and Responsibility: Programs recognize individual contributions as well as link executive and stockholder interests through compensation programs that reward our executives, including our NEOs based on the financial success of the Company and increases to stockholder value.

Market Compensation Review

We continuously monitor the market competitiveness of our executive compensation program. Over the past couple of years, the Committee has reviewed various components of the program to ensure that (i) pay opportunities are competitive with the market, (ii) there is an appropriate link between performance and pay and (iii) the program supports our stated compensation philosophy. This process included consultation with Exequity, LLP (“Exequity”), which compared compensation of our executives, including our NEOs, on short-term incentive awards, long-term incentives, executive severance arrangements, other benefits and our overall compensation and benefits philosophy to that of our comparator group and broader market practice. Exequity was engaged by the Committee and is responsible solely to the Committee. The Committee considered both Exequity’s advice and management’s opinion in determining the compensation strategy. On an ad hoc basis, the Committee may engage Exequity to provide information regarding specific executive compensation topics of interest.

For fiscal 2009, our comparator group consisting of 24 companies was chosen from a cross section of manufacturing and transportation and equipment companies that have revenues from one half to two times our revenues. For fiscal 2009, Arvin Meritor, Incorporated and Emerson Electric were deleted and Oshkosh Corporation and Whirlpool Corporation were added to the list. Based upon our comparator group criteria stated above, Arvin Meritor was deleted because it was below the limit on lower revenues and Emerson Electric was deleted due to higher revenues in comparison to the range. We added Oshkosh Corporation based upon its revenue fit as well as its manufacture of specialty vehicles, specifically for the Department of Defense. Whirlpool Corporation was also added due to its revenue fit and manufacturing business. We review executive compensation against this peer group of companies with which we compete for talent. Information about this list of companies is used by Exequity and management when the Committee requests specific executive compensation analyses. The Committee approved the following peer group for fiscal 2009.

A broader industry survey published by Hewitt Associates was also used to provide us with additional compensation market data. Please refer to Appendix B to this proxy statement for a list of participants in Hewitt’s 2009 TCM survey. For individual executive positions, if the market data from the peer group of companies was not statistically reliable because of the small sample size, we also used the manufacturing group (or if the sample size is large enough, the all-industry group) of this broader

Table of Contents

survey data. When we use broader industry surveys, we use market data within our revenue scope, either overall consolidated revenue for corporate roles and/or business unit revenue for business unit specific roles. This is especially true for the base salary competitive market review.

For base salary, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives, we target the 50th percentile (market median). We established a policy of targeting base salaries at the 50th percentile (market median) of the competitive market, based on the peer group, where available, or the broader industry survey. We refer to this as the competitive market data, competitive marketplace, or the like. We consider an executive to be compensated competitively if his or her base salary is within 85 to 115 percent of the market median. Under special circumstances when we are recruiting for critical roles, we target an executive’s salary at the 75th percentile. Our incentive compensation plans provide executives with the opportunity to earn total compensation at the 50th percentile of the competitive market for target corporate performance and at the 75th percentile for distinguished corporate and individual performance.

Typically, the CEO makes recommendations to the Committee on annual base salary increases for the NEOs other than himself (see the section entitled “Summary of the Executive Salary Planning Approval Process”). For our Annual Incentives, the CEO may recommend that the Committee adjust awards to reflect individual performance. For long-term incentives, awards generally follow our fixed share guidelines with no adjustments recommended by the CEO.

Pay Mix

Our pay mix of base salary, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives generally tracks to the marketplace with the majority of total compensation opportunity, specifically annual and long-term incentives, being contingent on and variable with performance. This structure supports our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy.

Elements of Executive Compensation

The key elements of our executive compensation program include base salary, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, retirement benefits, perquisites, and other benefits. We also maintain stock ownership guidelines for our executives, including our NEOs. Although decisions relative to each of these compensation elements are made separately, the Committee considers the total compensation and benefits package when making any compensation decision.

Base Salary

We pay each executive officer, a competitive base salary, on a monthly basis, for services rendered during the year. Base salaries for executive officers, including our NEOs, are typically reviewed and adjusted based on evaluating (i) the responsibilities of their positions, (ii) the competitive marketplace data and (iii) the performance of each executive during the fiscal year.

Summary of the Executive Salary Planning Approval Process

 

   

The head of each business unit reviews competitive salary market data relevant to his or her direct and indirect reports.

 

   

The head of each business unit provides salary recommendations for his or her direct and indirect reports.

The Committee reviews the salary for the CEO, and the CEO’s salary recommendations for all Section 16 Officers. The CEO does not recommend nor is he involved in decisions regarding his own compensation.

 

   

The Committee then recommends and the independent members of the Board approve or adjust the salary recommendation for the CEO. As described in greater detail below, we have a detailed procedure in place for reviewing the performance of the CEO and determining the annual salary of the CEO.

Due to the economic environment in fiscal 2009, traditional base salary performance increases to executives, including NEOs, did not occur.

CEO Performance Evaluation

Each year, typically in December, the Committee and the independent members of the Board evaluate the CEO’s performance for the prior fiscal year. This review is based on the CEO’s achievement of goals set prior to the start of that year. The CEO presents this information to the full independent members of the Board, who then discuss it in executive session. The CEO is not present during this discussion. The independent members’ evaluation of the CEO’s performance then forms the basis for the decision on the CEO award under our Annual Incentive Plan award (“AI Plan”) which is described below, for the prior fiscal year and base salary for the new fiscal year. The chair of the Committee then informs the CEO of the compensation decisions and the performance evaluation on which those decisions were based.

At the December 2009 Board meeting, the independent members of the Board did not recommend a base salary increase for Mr. Ustian. Mr. Ustian’s base salary was last increased in December 2007. In this regard, we have not yet determined whether there will be performance increases in general to base salary for executives, including NEOs, in fiscal year 2010. Also, in December 2009, the independent members of the Board approved a fiscal 2009 AI Plan award (“AI award”) at the distinguished level (150% of Target) for Mr. Ustian based upon both the Company’s successful financial results in the worst truck market in recent history and his strong performance in fiscal 2009 as a result of his achievements within our three strategic pillars of great products, competitive costs and profitable growth. As discussed in the Annual Incentive section below, the Company’s fiscal year 2009 financial results of $2.86 earnings per share (“EPS”) met the distinguished level of performance.

Annual Incentive

The AI Plan is a short-term incentive program that exists to reward, motivate and retain employees as well as align rewards with performance for the fiscal year. The AI Plan is a key element in the executive compensation package as the Company intends for a significant portion of an executive’s, including the NEO’s, total compensation to be performance-related. The AI Plan for 2009 was based on attaining financial and non-financial performance goals established and approved by the Committee. The AI Plan is authorized under our stockholder approved 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is an omnibus plan that allows for various awards such as cash, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, premium share units, and deferred share units. The AI Plan and the Plan do not have claw-back provisions, which, for example, would retract a prior incentive award when financial results are restated after the award was paid.

The following were factors in the 2009 AI Plan:

 

   

Consolidated Financial Performance: For all of our executives, consolidated financial performance is heavily weighted in the calculation of incentive payments in order to

 

       Page 35

encourage integrated execution across organizational boundaries within the Company. We believe that it is important to encourage executives to work together for the best consolidated results rather than to focus on results at one business unit at the expense of other business units. Consolidated financial goals are based on our Return on Equity (“ROE”), as determined by the Committee. We use ROE because we believe that, in the long term, it is highly correlated with stock price and stockholder value. We are in a volatile industry, in which demand for our products is subject to cyclical fluctuation. The profitability of our business is heavily influenced by the cycle of truck sales in North America. Consequently, we use the following truck industry demand-adjusted (volume-adjusted) ROE target methodology to evaluate Company performance. We target a 16.5% ROE on average over the business cycle based on a forecasted average truck industry volume, which is re-evaluated every year based upon industry forecast. This prevents us from giving management an unduly large incentive payment in years when the truck market is strong. Rather, financial results must be even stronger than industry performance for management to receive a payment. Conversely, this methodology is intended to prevent us from unduly under-compensating management in years when the truck market is weak. The volume-adjusted ROE target for 2009 was 12.8% which included an adjustment for the sustainable piece of the military business of $1.5 billion. The amount of income required to earn incentive payments was calculated using this ROE target which is then converted to an EPS goal, excluding a settlement gain, impairment charges and refinancing costs. The original earnings target was $5.62 per share based upon an average truck industry volume of 328,000 units. This EPS goal was adjusted mid-year to $0.80 per share due to the dramatic decrease in the truck volume to an estimated 165,000 -185,000 units. The following table outlines the revised goals. In light of the economy and the decrease in the expected truck volume, these EPS goals were challenging.

   $ 0.80   
   

Distinguished (150% of Target)

   $ 2.42

   $ 3.20   

 

   

Individual Performance: This is measured by our annual Total Performance Management (the “TPM”) assessment. The TPM process is a performance management tool that focuses on employee career development, goal setting, performance appraisals, and evaluation. The TPM assessment reviews how well the executive performed with regard to both individual goals and defined skills and behaviors. However, generally only financial goals are applicable to awards to our NEOs except where individual performance is used for downward discretion. For 2009, individual performance was used for downward discretion. For Mr. Cederoth, achievements included cost reductions, including but not limited to SG&A, postretirement costs and professional fees and refinancing initiatives. For Mr. Kapur, achievements included the School Bus, Medium Truck, Severe Service Truck, Class 8 Truck and Heavy Truck market share while investing in our future with mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures such as Monaco and NC2 (Caterpillar and Navistar joint venture) and preparing for global growth. For Mr. Covey, achievements included significant legal matters including commercial and regulatory issues.

In October 2008, the Committee originally approved a fiscal year 2009 plan under which the monetary pool for AI awards for the CEO and Level 13 and Corporate employees, as for the previous year, would be based 100% upon consolidated results, but for all other plan participants’ AI awards would be based 80% upon consolidated results and 20% upon business unit results.

Table of Contents

Due to the dramatic decrease in truck industry volume, the Committee, using its authority under the Plan, revised its original goals mid–year and adjusted the fiscal 2009 EPS goal to $0.80 per share. In addition, the Committee also revised the AI award pool composition from a mix of consolidated and business unit performance to 100% consolidated performance. Based upon the mid-year adjusted goals, the final fiscal year 2009 EPS results of $2.86 per share, allowed the Committee to award distinguished performance level payments under the Plan. However, in determining final individual AI awards, the Committee used its downward discretion based upon the NEOs overall individual achievements.

The AI Plan has threshold, target, distinguished, and super-distinguished performance payout levels for the NEOs which range from 25% to 200% of target. Based upon performance, in some years, the Company may not make AI payments, but the Company also has the ability under the plan to make maximum payments at 200% of target bonus opportunity for super-distinguished performance. Consolidated financial results between performance levels are interpolated on a straight-line basis to determine payment amounts.

Generally, AI awards are not paid when consolidated results are below threshold. However, in rare circumstances, the AI Plan may allow for payments to executives, including NEOs, who work for a business unit with above-threshold performance when consolidated performance is below threshold. In any event, under no circumstances will the AI Plan provide payments when net income is negative.

The Committee has the discretion to adjust a bonus payment. In doing so, the Committee historically has considered the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. While the Committee generally intends for incentive compensation to be tax deductible, there may be instances when the Committee decides to award a non-deductible amount. The Committee did not award a non-deductible AI amount for fiscal 2009.

As previously discussed in the CEO Performance Evaluation section, Mr. Ustian’s award was granted at the distinguished level. Mr. Caton and Ms. Turbeville were not eligible for any additional AI award payments other than what was calculated per the terms of the Executive Severance Agreement formula / calculation, which is described in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section below. Mr. Endsley’s amount is pro-rated for his time as an active NEO and is payable to his Estate. Mr. Cederoth’s award is based upon a distinguished achievement level and also recognizes his performance and leadership while serving as interim CFO and the many credit and refinancing successes. Mr. Kapur’s award is between target and distinguished achievement levels of performance and rewards him for our strong Truck market share. Mr. Covey’s award is between target and distinguished achievement levels of performance and rewards him for many strategic legal department initiatives.

Long-Term Incentive

Traditionally, our objectives for including long-term incentives as part of our executives’ total compensation package include:

 

   

Aligning executive and stockholder interests; tying compensation to share price appreciation;

   

Emphasizing returns to stockholders; and

   

Cultivating ownership.

Historically, we have focused our long-term incentive plan on the use of stock options to align executives’ interests with those of stockholders. To manage the allocation of stock options, the Committee used a fixed share grant approach. The fixed share guideline takes into account the long-term incentive target by position, Black-Scholes valuation methodology, and estimated stock price. This approach was used because it:

 

   

Managed dilution;

   

Provided the same number of options for similar job roles; and

   

Provided a way for us to allocate stock options.

We have never backdated stock options. In addition, as set forth in the Plan, we prohibit stock option repricing. However, within the Plan, there is a Restoration Stock Option Program. Specifically, the Restoration Stock Option Program allows an executive to exercise vested non-qualified stock options by presenting shares that have a total market value equal to the option exercise price times the number of options. New restoration options are then granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock at that time in an amount equal to the number of mature shares that were used to exercise the original option, plus the number of shares that were withheld for the required tax liability. The restoration stock options have a term equal to the remaining term of the original option, generally become exercisable six months after the date of grant, and otherwise have the same general terms and conditions of other non-qualified stock options granted under the Company’s stock plans. In 2008, none of the NEOs utilized this program. In December 2008, the Committee approved the elimination of the Restoration Stock Option Program under the Plan in connection with future long-term incentive grants, beginning with the grants made in December 2008.

In December 2008, a fiscal year 2009 long-term incentive grant under the Plan was approved to eligible plan participants. The grant was based upon our fixed share grant approach, however, we modified our use of 100% stock options to an equity mix of 67% stock options and 33% restricted stock units (RSUs). We changed the mix to manage our share pool usage.

As mentioned in previous proxies, in fiscal year 2007, we implemented a cash-based long-term incentive program under the Plan. It was a three-year plan (2007, 2008, and 2009) based upon

earnings per share and free cash flow performance metrics. At the end of 2009, we reviewed actual results versus the plan targets and there were no payments earned for any of the three years.

In December 2009, a fiscal year 2010 long-term incentive grant under the Plan was approved to eligible plan participants. Similar to the December 2008 grant, and in an effort to maximize our share usage, the NEOs received a grant mix of 67% stock options and 33% RSUs. We also introduced cash-settled RSUs to certain eligible participants. Awards vest equally over a three year period.

Executive Stock Ownership Program

We feel that it is important to encourage senior executives to hold a material amount of Company stock and to link their long-term economic interest directly to that of the stockholders. To achieve this goal, we established stock ownership requirements. During fiscal 2009, our stock ownership guidelines applied to approximately 62 executives, including our NEOs, the majority of who hold the title of vice president and above. Executives are expected to meet the ownership level of their position within five years of attaining that position. The ownership requirements range from 75% to 300% of base salary and are fixed at the number of shares that are required to be held as of the date of an executive’s promotion or hire, based on the fair market value of the shares at that time.

Life Insurance. We provide Company paid life insurance equal to five times base salary.

 

(2)

Physical Exams. This program provides a company-paid physical when an executive is first hired or promoted to an executive position. A physical is also required every two years prior to age 50 and every year after age 50. This program helps us ensure the health of our key executives.

 

(3)

Executive Perquisites for our NEOs. We maintain a perquisite program for our NEOs, which we believe is competitive and consistent with our overall compensation program, and which assists us in the attraction and retention of our executive officers. The Executive Flexible Perquisite Program provides a cash stipend to each of our NEOs, the amount of which varies by executive, based upon the executive’s organization level. The purpose of the cash stipend is to provide each of our NEOs with the ability to choose the perquisite that best fits his or her professional and personal situation. This program is in lieu of providing and administering such items as car leases, tax preparation, financial planning, and home security systems. We do not require the NEOs to substantiate the expenses for which they use this stipend. The annual perquisite amount is paid semi-annually in equal installments in May and November.

Mr. Cederoth’s amount is pro-rated based upon his previous and current annual perquisite payment. As CFO, the annual amount is $37,000.

 

  (C)

Ms. Turbeville’s amount is pro-rated based upon her separation from the Company effective January 31, 2009.

In certain circumstances, where a commercial flight is not available to meet a NEOs travel schedule, our NEOs and directors use chartered aircraft for business purposes only. In these situations, we believe chartered aircraft allows us to make effective use of the executive’s time. After a review of the chartered flight usage in 2009, we confirmed the use was for business purposes only. A spouse may accompany an NEO while he or she is traveling on Company business. Although this occurs on a limited basis, the reimbursement of the spouse travel expense is included in taxable compensation.

Effective November 1, 2009, the Committee approved a policy statement that eliminates all tax gross-ups for perquisites and other similar benefits to Section 16 Officers, including NEOs.

Pension/Retirement/401(k) Plans

We began transitioning to defined contribution/401(k) plans as the primary retirement income program for all non-represented employees hired on or after January 1, 1996. Thus participation in our defined benefit pension plans has been limited to those hired prior to that date.

 

   

RPSE (“Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees”). This is our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan for salaried employees hired prior to January 1, 1996.

   

MRO (“Managerial Retirement Objective Plan”). The MRO is our unfunded non-qualified defined benefit pension plan designed primarily to restore the benefits that executives, including our NEOs, would otherwise have received if the Internal Revenue Code restrictions had not applied to the RPSE.

   

RAP (“Retirement Accumulation Plan”). This is our tax-qualified defined contribution/401(k) plan for salaried employees hired on or after January 1, 1996. Effective December 31, 2008, the RSP (“Retirement Savings Plan”) was merged into the RAP. For additional information about the merger and how certain NEO’s 401(k) plan benefits are affected are provided in the Pension Benefits section.

   

SRAP (“Supplemental Retirement Accumulation Plan”). This is our non-qualified deferred compensation plan designed primarily to restore the contributions that participants would otherwise have received under the RAP, if the Internal Revenue Code restrictions had not been in place.

   

SERP (“Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan”). This is designed as a pension supplement to attract and retain key executives. The SERP is unfunded and is not qualified for tax purposes.

Additional information on the pension/401(k) plans are provided in the Pension Benefits, Non-Qualified Defined Contribution and Other Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation sections.

 

   

Retiree Medical Benefits. Non-represented employees, including our NEOs, hired on or after January 1, 1996, are not eligible for the retiree medical benefits program.

Employment Contracts and Executive Severance Arrangements

We do not have employment contracts with our NEOs as employment with each of them is “at will.” However, like many companies, to ensure stability and continuity of management, we provide those individuals with an Executive Severance Agreement (“ESA”), which provides for severance benefits in the event of a specified termination such as an involuntary termination and a termination in connection with a change in control. Our ESAs have been modified effective January 1, 2010.The Internal Revenue Code 280G excise tax gross up has been eliminated for all ESA’s, including the NEOs. The NEOs general severance, excluding the CEO, and all of the NEOs severance formula based upon a Termination Related to a Change in Control (CIC) did not change. The general severance formula for the CEO increased from 200% to 300% of the sum of his annual base salary plus annual target bonus, this percentage is now the same as the CIC formula of 300%. Please refer to the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control below for more information on the subject and a brief description of the changes.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Committee makes all compensation decisions for the NEOs, excluding the CEO which decisions are approved by the independent members of the Board. The CEO makes recommendations to the Committee regarding the compensation for his direct reports (which includes the other NEOs) based on a review of their performance, job responsibilities, and importance to our business strategy. The CEO does not make recommendations to the Committee regarding his own compensation.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Policy on Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a public company generally may not deduct the amount of non-performance based compensation paid to certain executive officers that exceeds $1 million in any one calendar year. However, this provision does not apply to performance-

 

       Page 41        
    


Table of Contents

based compensation that satisfies certain legal requirements including income from certain stock options and certain formula driven compensation. In general, the Committee has considered the effect of the Internal Revenue Code limitation and under certain circumstances may decide to grant compensation that is outside of the limits.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 changed the tax rules applicable to non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements. We are complying in good faith with the statutory provisions, which generally became effective as of January 1, 2005, and the applicable regulations. Please refer to the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table below for more information on the subject.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

In November 2005, we began accounting for our equity based long-term incentive vehicles under the Plan in accordance with the guidance on share-based payments.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management, and based upon this review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement. The independent members of the Board reviewed and discussed the compensation of the CEO.

Reflects the amortized dollar amount recognized as expense for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with the guidance on share-based payments and not the compensation realized by the named executive officers (“NEOs”). Where applicable, amounts expensed during fiscal year 2009 for grants made in prior years are also included in this column. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For additional information on the assumptions made in the valuation for the fiscal year 2009 awards reflected in this column, please see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report. For information on the valuation assumptions with respect to grants made in prior fiscal years, please see the corresponding note to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report in the respective fiscal year. Includes amounts expensed for the following restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that were granted to our NEOs on December 16, 2008: Mr. Ustian – 18,057; Mr. Caton – 8,263; Mr. Cederoth – 871; Mr. Kapur – 6,296; Mr. Covey 4,078; Mr. Endsley – 6,296; and Ms. Turbeville – 4,078. The compensation expense recognized by us for the RSUs is spread out over the service period (3 years) and we do not adjust the expense based on actual gains or losses. The closing price of our stock on December 16, 2008 was $23.04. We recognize the entire expense of an RSU award made to retirement eligible employees on the date of grant because once an executive attains retirement eligibility there is no longer a substantial risk of forfeiture of their RSUs. Of the named executive officers, Mr. Ustian, Ms. Turbeville and Mr. Covey are retirement eligible.

Table of Contents
 

Mr. Ustian became retirement eligible in 2005, Ms. Turbeville became retirement eligible in August 2008 and Mr. Covey became retirement eligible in 2006. Upon Mr. Endsley’s death on April 14, 2009, all of his outstanding awards vested as to 100% and the related expense was accounted for immediately.

Also includes the amortized expense recognized for premium share units (“PSUs”) during 2009. The PSUs represent shares of common stock granted pursuant to our Executive Stock Ownership Program and is based on the attainment of certain stock ownership thresholds. The PSUs vest over a 3 year period with 1/3rd of the shares vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The PSUs convert into Common Stock upon termination of employment. We use the closing price of our stock on the date of grant to value the PSUs and then spread the expense out over the vesting period (generally 3 years). The following PSU awards had amounts expensed by us in 2009. Mr. Caton received 8,449 PSUs on November 23, 2005; the closing price of our stock on the date of grant was $27.98. Mr. Endsley received 3,622 PSUs on April 14, 2009, which were expensed immediately; the closing price of our stock on the date of grant was $35.31.

Reflects the amortized dollar amount recognized as expense for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with the guidance on share-based payments and not the compensation realized by the NEOs. Where applicable, amounts expensed during fiscal year 2009 for grants made in prior years are also included in this column. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For additional information on the assumptions made in the valuation for the current year awards reflected in this column, please see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report. For information on the valuation assumptions with respect to grants made in prior fiscal years, please see the corresponding note to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report in the respective fiscal year. Includes amounts expensed for the following stock options that were granted to our NEOs on December 16, 2008: Mr. Ustian – 91,656; Mr. Caton – 41,942; Mr. Cederoth – 4,422; Mr. Kapur – 31,959; Mr. Covey 20,703; Mr. Endsley – 31,959; and Ms. Turbeville – 20,703. The compensation expense recognized by us for stock options is calculated using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant (we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model for this calculation) and then we amortize the expense over the vesting period of the options (generally 3 years) and we do not adjust the expense based on actual gains or losses. We recognize the entire expense of a stock option grant made to retirement eligible employees on the date of grant because once an executive attains retirement eligibility there is no longer a substantial risk of forfeiture of their options. As mentioned in footnote 1 above, Mr. Ustian became retirement eligible in 2005, Ms. Turbeville became retirement eligible in August 2008 and Mr. Covey became retirement eligible in 2006.

This amount represents the change in the actuarial present value of the RPSE and MRO for Messrs. Ustian, Endsley and Covey and the change in actuarial present value of the SERP and certain interest on the SRAP for Messrs. Caton, Kapur and Cederoth and Ms. Turbeville. For Mr. Cederoth the amount represents the change in actuarial present value of the RPSE and SERP as well as certain interest on the SRAP.

After his separation on October 31, 2009, Mr. Caton forfeited any unvested awards.

 

(2)

After Mr. Endsley’s death on April 14, 2009, all of his outstanding stock options, RSUs and PSUs were transferred to his estate. At the time of transfer 31,959 stock options granted on December 16, 2008 with an exercise price of $22.655 per share immediately became exercisable. In addition 22,916 RSUs granted on September 18, 2008, and 3,622 PSUs issued on April 14, 2009 became immediately vested.

Amounts in this column include RSUs that vested and/or were surrendered to the Company in satisfaction of employment tax withholdings due upon receipt of RSUs that vested on September 18, 2009. The market price of our stock on September 18, 2009 was $40.42. It also includes RSUs that were surrendered to the Company by Mr. Ustian, Ms. Turbeville, Ms. Cochran and Mr. Covey in satisfaction of employment tax withholdings due upon receipt of RSUs that were awarded to each of them on December 16, 2008. The employment tax withholdings were a result of Mr. Ustian, Ms. Turbeville, Ms. Cochran and Mr. Covey having attained retirement eligibility status under the stock plan from which the RSUs were granted. The market price of our stock on the date the shares were surrendered was $23.04. Upon Mr. Endsley’s death on April 14, 2009, 22,196 RSUs he owned immediately vested and were delivered to his estate. The market price of our stock on the date the shares vested was $35.31.

Unless otherwise noted, all present values reflect benefits payable at the earliest retirement date when the pension benefits are unreduced. Also unless otherwise noted, form of payment, discount rate (8.40%) and mortality (RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table projected at 50% of scale AA) is based on assumptions from the guidance on accounting for pensions. Additionally, SERP benefits have only been offset by benefits under Navistar sponsored retirement programs. At actual retirement these benefits will also be offset by benefits accumulated under programs for employment prior to Navistar, Inc.

 

(2)

Mr. Caton was not vested in his SERP benefit when he terminated.

 

(3)

Mr. Endsley was not vested in either the MRO or SERP benefits when he passed away. The present value of accumulated benefits and the payments made are the value and payments of his surviving spouse benefits.

 

(4)

Ms. Turbeville retired during the year and the effective date of her first SERP payment was February 1, 2009. However, under the Internal Revenue Code her payments had to be deferred 6 months. Interest of $899 was credited on the 6 month deferral of payments and is included in the total listed above.

Historically, we have provided our employees with retirement income programs since 1908. Over the years the programs have changed for various reasons. Effective January 1, 1996, we began transitioning from defined benefit retirement income programs to defined contribution retirement

 

       Page 50        
    


Table of Contents

income programs as the primary vehicle to deliver those benefits. Employees hired before that date participate in defined benefit pension plans and those hired on or after that date participate in defined contribution plans. We also provide non-tax qualified benefit restoration programs that provide benefits or contributions that are in addition to those provided under our tax-qualified programs. The following briefly describes the various programs.

 

 

Navistar, Inc. Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (“RPSE”). The RPSE is a funded and tax qualified defined benefit retirement program. The plan provides benefits primarily based on a formula that takes into account the employee’s years of service, final average earnings and a percentage of final average earnings per year of service (accrual rates). The table below summarizes the benefit accrual rates under the RPSE.

RPSE Benefit as Percent of Final Average Pay

 

     Prior to 1989           After 1988           Maximum        

Rate of Benefit Accrual
per Year of Service

  2.4%           1.7%           60%        

The eligible earnings are averaged over the highest 60 consecutive months within the final 120 consecutive months prior to retirement. Eligible earnings include base compensation and specifically exclude AI Plan compensation. Thus any increase in AI payments will not increase benefits under the RPSE. Such compensation may not exceed an IRS-prescribed statutory limit applicable to tax-qualified plans ($245,000 for 2009).

The resulting benefit which may commence at age 62, is offset by a percentage of estimated or actual Social Security benefits. The percentage offset is equal to 1.7% for each year of service with a maximum offset equal to 60% of Social Security benefits.

The RPSE is available only to employees who were hired prior to January 1, 1996 and thus is closed to new participants. Additionally, effective January 1, 2005, service has been limited to the service accrued as of December 31, 2004, for the employees who were hired prior to January 1, 2005 and were under age 45 as of January 1, 2005.

Benefits under the RPSE are subject to the limitations imposed under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Section 415 limit for 2009 is $195,000 per year for a single life annuity payable at an Internal Revenue Service prescribed retirement age. This ceiling may be actuarially adjusted in accordance with IRS rules for items such as employee contributions, other forms of distributions and different starting dates.

Of the NEOs, Messrs. Ustian, Endsley and Covey participate in the RPSE. Mr. Cederoth also participates in the RPSE but his service is limited to the service accrued as of December 31, 2004.

 

 

Navistar, Inc. Managerial Retirement Objective Plan (“MRO”). We offer the MRO to approximately 300 eligible managers and executives. The MRO provides for retirement benefits that are either not covered by or that are above those provided under our tax-qualified pension plan (“RPSE”). The MRO is unfunded and is not qualified for tax purposes.

Benefits payable under the MRO are equal to the excess of (i) the amount that would be payable in accordance with the terms of the RPSE, disregarding the limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code over (ii) the retirement benefit actually payable under the RPSE, taking such Internal Revenue Code limitations into account. Benefits under the MRO are generally payable at the same time and in the same manner as the RPSE, other than if a delay is required under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

 

       Page 51        
    


Table of Contents

A pro-rated portion of AI Plan payments are included in the definition of eligible compensation and the amount included is also subject to a cap determined as a percentage of the executive’s annualized base salary. The pro-rated portion and the cap depend on the executive’s organizational level in the Company.

An executive must have been hired by us prior to January 1, 1996 to be eligible to participate in the MRO. Executives who were under age 45 as of December 31, 2004 no longer participate in the MRO. Instead, they now participate in the SRAP, which is described below. Normal retirement under the MRO is age 65 with at least 5 years of service while an executive may retire early with reduced benefits after having worked 10 years and is at least age 55 at retirement.

Of the NEOs, Messrs. Ustian, Endsley and Covey participate in the MRO. Mr. Cederoth no longer is eligible for the MRO. He now participates in the SRAP.

 

 

Navistar, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP is designed as a pension supplement to attract and retain key executives. Executives in organizational Levels 9 and above are eligible to participate in the SERP upon attainment of age 55 or upon their date of hire if later.

The SERP is unfunded and is not qualified for tax purposes. An eligible executive’s benefit under the SERP is equal to a percentage of his or her final average compensation. The final average compensation is computed similarly to that in the MRO plan. The following table summarizes the determination of the total percentage of final average compensation, which is the sum of the accrual rates described below.

 

             Up to        
        Age 55        
              On or After        
        Age 55        

Each Year of Age

   1/2%     1%

Each Year of Service

   1/2%     1%

In no event shall the total percentage be greater than 50%.

That resulting benefit is offset by 50% of the executive’s Social Security benefit, and any defined benefit pension plan (qualified or non-qualified) of the Company or any prior employer. The benefit is also offset by the actuarial equivalent of any of our defined contribution pension plans (qualified or non-qualified) or that of any prior employer that is funded by the employer’s contributions and is an integral part of the employer’s retirement program. Normal retirement age is 65 and the program allows for an earlier commencement of payments.

All of the NEOs are eligible to participate in the SERP. However, because the 50% of final average earnings limit is lower than the target benefit provided under the MRO, generally no MRO participant will receive a benefit from the SERP.

 

 

Other Retirement Income Programs. We also sponsor the Navistar, Inc. 401(k) Plan for Represented Employees and the Navistar, Inc. Retirement Accumulation Plan (RAP). All employees are allowed to defer a portion of their compensation in to the RAP up to the Internal Revenue Code limitations. Employees that do not receive any additional service accruals receive non-elective employer retirement contributions. Additionally, employees that do not participate in our retiree medical plan receive matching contributions. For those executives whose employer contributions would be limited by the Internal Revenue Code, the Navistar, Inc. Supplemental Retirement Accumulation Plan (“SRAP”) provides for contributions in excess of the Internal Revenue Code limitations. This plan is described in more detail within Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation section of this proxy statement.

Of the NEOs, Messrs. Caton, Cederoth and Kapur, and Ms. Turbeville received non-elective age-weighted contributions in the RAP and also participate in the SRAP.

We do not have a policy for granting extra pension service.

Ms. Turbeville received pension benefits from the SERP as noted above. Additionally, she will be receiving a distribution of her account balance from the SRAP during 2010. Mr. Endsley’s wife is receiving surviving spouse benefits under the RPSE. No other pension benefits were paid to any of the NEOs in fiscal 2009.

The tax-qualified plans were amended to reflect the Company name change to Navistar, Inc. at the end of the 2008 calendar year.

Our contributions represent the sum of any notional contribution credits to the SRAP during the year and the value, based on our common stock share price at year end, of the PSUs granted during that fiscal year.

 

(2)

“Aggregate Earnings” represent the notional interest credited during the year for participants in the SRAP, if applicable, plus the change in value from the beginning of the year to the end of the year in the PSUs and/or DSUs held by each NEO. For the SRAP, “Aggregate Earnings in Last Fiscal Year” is the interest credited to each NEO from the beginning of the fiscal year until the end of the fiscal year at a 7.5% interest crediting rate. “Aggregate Earnings in Last Fiscal Year” for purposes of the PSU is the aggregate change in value of the PSUs held during the year. For fiscal year 2008, aggregate earnings were negative because of the change in the share price during the year. The respective decreases in value are: Mr. Ustian ($990,050), Mr. Caton ($274,399), Mr. Endsley ($76,380), Mr. Kapur ($181,767), Ms. Turbeville ($113,967) and Mr. Covey ($78,945).

 

(3)

The “Aggregate Balance as of Last Fiscal Year End” consists of the sum of each NEO’s notional account balance in the SRAP at the end of the year and the value at year end of the outstanding PSUs and/or DSUs.

 

(4)

Mr. Caton received a contribution to the SRAP but his account balance will be forfeited at the end of the year as he was not vested when he serparated service. He had not yet exercised his Deferred Premium Share yet though.

 

(5)

Mr. Endsley’s Deferred Premium Shares were distributed during the year.

 

(6)

Ms. Turbeville’s SRAP account balance will be distributed during 2010. The accrued interest in her SRAP account was offset by the value of her Deferred Premium Shares being distributed during 2009.

We sponsor the following non-qualified deferred compensation programs.

 

 

Navistar, Inc. Supplemental Retirement Accumulation Plan (“SRAP”). The SRAP provides executives, including our NEOs, with contributions equal to the amount by which their annualized

 

       Page 53        
    


Table of Contents
 

non-elective age-weighted contributions to the RAP are limited by the Internal Revenue Code. The SRAP is unfunded and is not qualified for tax purposes.

A bookkeeping account balance is established for each participant. The account balance is credited with notional contributions and notional interest. The SRAP does not permit any executives to electively defer any of their base compensation or bonuses. Any increase in AI payments will increase contributions to the SRAP.

The interest crediting rate is 7.5% per annum compounded on a daily basis. This is the rate used to design the SRAP as a comparable replacement for the MRO. The interest crediting rate constitutes an “above-market interest rate” under the Internal Revenue Code.

An executive is eligible for the SRAP if the executive is employed in Organization Level 7 or above unless the executive was hired prior to January 1, 1996 and is eligible for the MRO plan.

Executives who were hired prior to January 1, 1996 and who subsequently ceased participation in the MRO now participate in the SRAP. These individuals receive an adjustment to their notional contributions. The adjustment is a “Points Multiplier” designed to provide them with value from the SRAP comparable to what they would have received had they continued to participate in the MRO until they reached age 62.

At retirement, each participant may elect to receive the bookkeeping account balance by either or some combination of (1) a lump-sum payment or (2) annual installments over a period of 2 to 20 years. The NEOs cannot withdraw any amounts from their bookkeeping account balances until they either retire or otherwise terminate employment with us. No withdrawals or distributions were made in fiscal 2009.

Of the NEOs, Messrs. Caton, Cederoth and Kapur and Ms. Turbeville participate in the SRAP.

 

 

Premium Share Units (“PSU”). In general, our Executive Stock Ownership Program requires all of our executives, including our NEOs to acquire, by direct purchase or through salary or annual bonus reduction, an ownership interest in Navistar by acquiring a designated amount of our common stock at specified timelines. Participants are required to hold such stock for the entire period in which they are employed by us. PSUs may be awarded under the Plan to participants who complete their ownership requirement on an accelerated basis. PSUs vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date on which they are awarded. Each vested PSU will be settled by delivery of one share of common stock. Such settlement will occur within 10 days after a participant’s termination of employment or at such later date as required by Internal Revenue Code Section Rule 409A.

All of the NEOs participate in the Executive Stock Ownership Program and are eligible to acquire PSUs.

 

 

Deferred Share Units (“DSU”). Under the Restoration Stock Option Program, participants generally may exercise vested options by presenting shares that have a total market value equal to the applicable option exercise price times the number of options. Restoration options are then granted with an exercise price equal to the then current fair market price in an amount equal to the number of shares held by the option holder for at least six months that were presented to exercise the original option, plus the number of shares that are withheld for the required tax liability. Participants who hold non-qualified stock options that were vested prior to December 31, 2004 may also defer the receipt

 

       Page 54        
    


Table of Contents
 

of shares of our common stock that would have been acquired upon exercise of a restoration stock option exercise of these options. Participants who elect to defer receipt of these shares receive DSUs. DSUs are awarded under the Plan. DSUs are credited into the participant’s account at the then current market price. The DSUs are generally distributed to the participant in the form of our common stock at the date specified by the participant at the time of his or her election to defer. During the deferral period, the participants will have no right to vote the stock, to receive any dividend declared on the stock, and no other right as a shareholder. In December 2008, we eliminated the Restoration Stock Option Program for future restorations under the Plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

The amount of compensation payable to each of the NEOs upon voluntary termination, involuntary terminations for or not for cause, involuntary termination in the event of a change in control, death, disability or retirement are shown in the tables below. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective October 31, 2009, are based on the terms of the applicable plans and agreements that were in effect on October 31, 2009, and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives upon their termination. The actual amounts of payments and benefits can only be determined at the time the relevant termination event occurs.

To assure stability and continuity of management, we entered into Executive Severance Agreements (“ESA”) with each of our NEOs. The ESAs were amended effective January 1, 2010, as described under the “ESA Amendments” below. The ESAs in effect prior to this amendment, provide that if the executive officer’s employment is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause, as defined in the ESA, the officer will receive a lump sum payment (the “Severance Payment”) varying in amounts from 150% of the sum of his or her annual base salary plus annual target bonus plus a pro rata portion of the annual target bonus (for Ms. Turbeville and Mr. Covey) to 200% of the sum of his annual base salary plus annual target bonus plus a pro rata portion of the annual target bonus (for Messrs. Ustian, Caton, Endsley, Cederoth and Kapur) in addition to other benefits described below.

Summary of the Circumstances, Rights and Obligations Attendant to Each Type of Termination

 

 

Voluntary and Involuntary (For Cause) Termination: A NEO may terminate his or her employment at any time and we may terminate a NEO at any time pursuant to the “at will” employment arrangement. We are not obligated to provide the executive with any additional or special compensation or benefits upon a voluntary termination by the executive or involuntary (for cause) termination by us. All compensation, bonuses, benefits, and perquisites cease upon a voluntary termination by the executive or involuntary (for cause) termination by us. In general, in the event of either such termination, a NEO would:

 

   

Be paid the value of unused vacation;

 

   

Not be eligible for an annual incentive payment if the termination occurred prior to year end or if the termination occurred after year end and prior to the payment date;

 

   

Be able to exercise vested stock options for three months following a voluntary termination;

 

   

Forfeit any unvested stock options; and

 

   

Forfeit any unvested restricted stock and RSUs.

As defined in the ESA, “cause” means the reason for the executive’s termination was for (i) willful misconduct involving an offense of a serious nature that is demonstrably and materially injurious to

 

       Page 55        
    


Table of Contents

the company, (ii) conviction of, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony as defined by the United States of America or by the laws of the State or other jurisdiction in which the executive is so convicted, or (iii) continued intentional failure to substantially perform required duties after written demand to so perform.

The NEOs would not receive any cash severance in the event of either a voluntary or involuntary (for cause) termination of employment.

 

 

Retirement and Early Retirement: If a NEO terminates employment due to retirement, then the officer would generally be eligible to receive:

 

   

The value of unused vacation;

 

   

Monthly income from any defined benefit pension plans, both tax-qualified and non-tax qualified, that the executive participated in solely to the extent provided under the terms of such plans; and

 

   

Lump sum distributions from any defined contribution plans, both tax-qualified and non-tax qualified, that the executive participated in solely to the extent provided under the terms of such plans.

Retirement and early retirement are defined in the respective plans in which the executive participate. In addition, if an executive meets the “qualified retirement” definition under the Plan and holds outstanding stock options, he or she may exercise those stock options to the extent that those stock options are exercisable or become exercisable in accordance with their terms, at any time during the term of the option grant. If he or she holds restricted stock or RSUs, they will continue to vest according to the terms of the restricted stock grant. If he or she holds PSUs, vesting accelerates and the shares are issued after retirement.

 

 

Involuntary Not-For-Cause Termination or Good Reason Termination: If the employment of a NEO is terminated due to either an involuntary, not-for-cause termination by us or a good reason (as defined below) termination by the executive, then the officer would generally be eligible to receive:

 

   

The Severance Payment;

 

   

Twelve months of continued health insurance and life insurance;

 

   

Outplacement counseling;

 

   

The value of unused vacation;

 

   

The right to exercise vested stock options for three months; and

 

   

Upon meeting certain conditions, an executive participating in a defined benefit pension plan, both tax-qualified or non-tax-qualified, will continue to grow into eligibility to retire early under each plan’s early retirement provisions for active employees but solely to the extent provided under the terms of such plans.

In addition, the officer would forfeit any unvested stock options and any unvested restricted stock, RSUs or PSUs.

As defined by the ESA, “good reason” means the executive’s termination of his or her employment if we: (i) reduce the executive’s base salary by 10% or more or (ii) take action which is a material diminution in the executive’s authority.

 

       Page 56        
    


Table of Contents
 

Termination Related to a Change in Control: If the employment of a NEO is involuntarily terminated for any reason other than for cause or if a Constructive Termination (as described below) occurs in connection with a change in control, the executive officer would generally be eligible to receive:

 

   

The Change in Control Payment;

 

   

Thirty-six months of continued health insurance and life insurance coverage;

 

   

Outplacement counseling;

 

   

Reimbursement of any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code and any taxes on the reimbursement, generally referred to as an Internal Revenue Code Section 280G gross-up;

 

   

The value of unused vacation;

 

   

Acceleration of the exercisability of options that would otherwise have vested over a period of three years from the date of the change in control had the executive continued employment for that period; and

 

   

The value of any non-tax-qualified pension plan that the executive participates in payable in a single lump sum payment. The value is determined by assuming the executive has three additional years of service and is three years older at the time of the change in control. This single sum payment is in addition to the right to accrued benefits under the non-tax-qualified plan. (See below for more detail).

As defined in the ESA, “Constructive Termination” means the occurrence of any of the following events or conditions: (i) a material diminution in the executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, (ii) the executive’s base salary is reduced by 10% or more, (iii) a material breach of this agreement, and (iv) the executive is required to be based more than 45 miles from the location of either the executive’s office or Company headquarter office.

 

 

Disability and Death: If a NEO is disabled and is prevented from working for pay or profit in any job or occupation, he or she may be eligible for our “Non-Represented Employee Disability Benefit Program” which provides for short-term and long-term disability (“LTD”) benefits. Our NEOs are not covered under a separate program. While covered under an LTD, a NEO is eligible for 60 percent of his or her base salary reduced (or offset) by other sources of income, such as social security disability. In the event of a total and permanent disability as defined by this program, a NEO may exercise outstanding stock options any time within three years after such termination. In the event a NEO has restricted stock, or RSUs, the restricted stock or RSUs will continue to vest according to the terms of the grant. In the event an NEO has PSUs, vesting accelerates and the shares are issued immediately. In addition, while classified as disabled, the NEO continues to accrue benefits under the defined benefit plans.

In the event of an NEOs death, a beneficiary of the NEO may exercise an outstanding stock option at any time within a period of two years after death. Restricted stock, RSUs or PSUs will vest as of the date of death and all restrictions lapse and the restricted stock, RSUs or PSUs will be immediately transferable to the NEO’s beneficiary or estate. The NEO’s beneficiary will also be eligible for a pro-rata annual incentive payment based upon the number of months the NEO was an active employee during the year. The executive’s beneficiary will also receive surviving spouse benefits under the defined benefit and defined contribution plans solely to the extent provided in those plans.

This calculation, as described in the ESA, is 150% to 200% of the sum of the executive’s annual base salary plus annual target bonus plus a pro rata portion of the annual target bonus.

 

(2)

The Change in Control calculation, as defined in the ESA, is 300% of the sum of the executive’s annual base salary plus annual target bonus plus a pro rata portion of the annual target bonus. This amount also includes the lump sum payment equal to the actuarial present value of their benefits under each non-qualified pension plan based on assuming, when determining the amount of their benefit, that each of their ages are three years older and that each has three more years of credited service.

 

(3)

This amount is 60% of annualized base salary as of October 31, 2009 and is not offset by other sources of income, such as social security. It represents the amount that would be paid annually over the term of the disability.

 

(4)

The per share value for options is equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the closing price as of the last day of the fiscal year (October 31, 2009), which was $33.14 per share. Please refer to the Outstanding Equity Awards Table for more information on this subject.

The value of restricted stock, RSU or PSU is based on the October 31, 2009 closing price of $33.14 per share.

These amounts represent the Company’s cost and do not include the portion that the officer would pay for this extension of coverage. Company provided life insurance equal to five times base salary. Coverage may continue for 12 months for a termination following an involuntary not-for-cause termination or good reason termination. Coverage may continue for 36 months for a termination following a Change in Control.

Surviving spouse benefits are payable under the applicable pension plan. Messrs. Ustian, Endsley and Covey are participants in the defined benefit pension plan that provide surviving spouse benefits. Messrs. Kapur and Cederoth and Ms. Turbeville participate in our defined contribution plans and a defined benefit plan that provides a surviving spouse benefit. Mr. Caton did not meet the service requirement to be eligible for surviving spouse benefits.

Internal Revenue Code Section 280G Tax Gross-up if any. In October 2009, the Committee eliminated the excise tax gross-up upon a Change in Control for the future ESA.

 

(10)

Due to Mr. Caton’s departure as of October 31, 2009, his amount reflects an actual payment for an involuntary not for cause or good reason termination only and not theoretical potential payments. Mr. Caton received thirty six months of healthcare continuation, twelve months of life insurance continuation and $25,000 in lieu of outplacement services.

 

(11)

Amended ESA provides for continued healthcare coverage for the 36 month period versus the standard 12 month period immediately following the date of termination.

 

(12)

Due to Mr. Endsley’s death as of April 14, 2009, equity awards were transferred to his estate. Please refer to the Pension Benefits Table for more information regarding surviving spouse benefits.

 

(13)

Due to Ms. Turbeville’s termination as of January 31, 2009, her amount reflects an actual payment for an involuntary not for cause or good reason termination only and not theoretical potential payments.

ESA Amendments

The Committee has approved several changes to the ESA effective January 1, 2010, based upon market competitive practice and regulatory compliance. The following is a summary of the key changes:

 

   

The Internal Revenue Code 280G excise tax gross-up upon a Change in Control has been eliminated.

 

   

Healthcare coverage has been extended so that the executives have the opportunity to purchase an additional 12 months at the cost of coverage rate, for a total of 24 months of available coverage.

 

   

General Severance for the CEO increased from 200% to 300%. Severance reduced for certain executives, excluding the NEOs, under a Termination Related to a Change in Control.

 

   

A cap on legal fees and costs reimbursed for certain executives’ enforcement of the ESA has been added.

 

   

The executives are required to sign a waiver and release agreement upon execution of the January 1, 2010, amended ESA and an additional waiver and release at the time of their termination.

 

   

Upon a general separation, not related to a Change in Control, the pro-rata annual target bonus portion of the severance formula will no longer be based upon target, but as amended, will be based upon actual results and will be paid only if and at the same time that the Company pays AI awards to active employees.

Under our Non-Employee Directors Deferred Fee Plan (the “Deferred Fee Plan”), our directors who are not employees receive an annual retainer and meeting fees payable at their election either in shares of our common stock or in cash. A director may also elect to defer any portion of such compensation until a later date in deferred share units or in cash. Each such election is made prior to December 31st for the next succeeding calendar year. Eugenio Clariond, John D. Correnti and David D. Harrison elected to defer the receipt of some or all of their cash compensation received for their quarterly retainer fees and meeting fees in 2009. Mr. Clariond deferred receipt of 50% of his quarterly retainer fees and 50% of his meeting fees from November 1, 2009 – December 31, 2009 in cash for a total cash compensation deferral amount of $12,000. Mr. Clariond deferred receipt of 100% percent of his 1st quarterly retainer fee and 50% of his 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarterly retainer fees and 50% of all of his meeting fees, from January 1, 2009 – October 31, 2009, in deferred share units and received 1,643.495 shares. Mr. Correnti deferred receipt of his entire 1st quarterly retainer fees in deferred share units and received 545.703 shares. Mr. Correnti deferred his 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarterly retainer fees for calendar year 2009 in cash for a total YTD cash deferral amount of $36,000. Mr. Harrison deferred receipt of 100% of his 1st quarterly retainer fee in deferred share units and received 454.752 shares. The amount of cash compensation deferred by Mr. Clariond and Mr. Correnti in 2009 has been allocated to a deferred cash account under each of their names. The deferred cash compensation earns interest compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter at the rate equivalent to the then current “prime rate,” and will be distributed within 60 days after their separation from service with us. The amount of deferred stock units for Mr. Clariond, Mr. Correnti and Mr. Harrison has been credited as stock units in an account under each of their names at the then current market price of our common stock. The respective units issued during 2009 will be issued to Mr. Clariond, Mr. Correnti and Mr. Harrison within 60 days after their separation from service with us.

Included in these amounts are special service fees paid to non-employee directors in the amount of $1,500 per day for the below special services rendered at the request of a Committee Chair or the Chairman of the Board. The below categories of special services were determined by the Board to be consistent with director service and the provision thereof and payment of the fees therefor, in and of themselves, not to affect the independence of any such director:

Effective April 1, 2009, each non-employee director received 454 shares of restricted stock in lieu of their 1st quarterly annual retainer, except for Eugenio Clariond, John Correnti, Abbie Griffin, Diane Gulyas, David Harrison, William Osborne and Dennis Williams. Mr. Clariond, Mr. Correnti and Mr. Harrison, who as noted under footnote 1, elected to defer receipt of their shares in deferred share units. Mr. Correnti received 545.703 share units because he also deferred receipt of his 1st quarterly retainer for serving on the Audit Committee. Ms. Griffin received a pro-rated amount of 242 shares due to her retirement from the board on February 17, 2009. Ms. Gulyas and Mr. Osborne did not receive amounts in payment of the 1st quarterly retainer because they were not yet appointed as members of the board. Mr. Williams, who as noted under footnote 13, does not receive compensation for his service on the board.

Reflects the amortized dollar amount recognized as expense for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with the guidance on share-based payments and not the compensation realized by the directors. The amounts expensed during fiscal year 2009 were for 1,333 Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) granted on September 18, 2008. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For additional information on the assumptions made in the valuation of these awards see the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s FY 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The RSUs vest ratably over a 3 year period (25% on the first two anniversary’s of the date of grant and 50% on the third anniversary of the date of grant, so that in three years the RSUs will be 100% vested). The grant date fair value of the RSUs granted in 2008 was $81,126, which was based on the closing price of our stock on September 11, 2008, which was $60.86. The date of the award agreement representing the RSUs was September 18, 2008, however, under the provisions of the guidance on share-based payments, September 11, 2008 was determined to be the grant date for calculating expense for financial statement reporting purposes (the closing price or our stock on September 18, 2008 was $55.365). The compensation expense recognized by us for the RSUs is spread out over the service period (3 years) and we do not adjust the expense based on actual gains or losses. We recognize the entire expense of an RSU award made to retirement eligible directors on the date of grant because once a director attains retirement eligibility there is no longer a substantial risk of forfeiture of their RSUs. Of the directors listed in the table above, Mr. Clariond, Mr. Hammes and Mr. Keyes were retirement eligible on the date the RSUs were granted and thus the expense of their RSUs was accounted for in 2008. On October 21, 2008, the Board amended Navistar’s Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide that non-employee directors were eligible to retire from the board after they attained 5 years of service. Mr. Belton, Mr. Correnti and Ms. Griffin were affected by the new eligibility requirement and the remaining expense on their RSUs, $77,422, was accelerated at the first measurement period in 2009. For other directors becoming retirement eligible we accelerate expense to the retirement eligibility date. Diane Gulyas and William Osborne were not yet directors when the RSUs were granted and, as noted under footnote 13, at the request of the UAW, the UAW representative director, Dennis Williams, does not receive RSUs.

The aggregate number of stock awards outstanding for each non-employee director as of October 31, 2009, including deferred stock units owned by Mr. Clariond, Mr. Correnti, Mr. Harrison and Mr. Keyes, is indicated in the table below. All of these stock awards and deferred units are 100% vested except for the 1,333 RSUs granted to the directors in September 2008, which vest over a three year period as described in footnote (3) above.

Reflects the amortized dollar amount recognized as expense for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with the guidance on share-based payments and not the compensation realized by the directors. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For additional information on the assumptions made in the valuation for the current year awards reflected in this column, please see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report. Includes amounts expensed for 3,600 non-qualified stock options granted to our non-employee directors on December 16, 2008. The compensation expense recognized by us for stock options is calculated using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant (we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model for this calculation) and then we amortize the expense over the vesting period of the options (generally 3 years) and we do not adjust the expense based on actual gains or losses. We recognize the entire expense of a stock option grant made to retirement eligible directors on the date of grant because once a director attains retirement eligibility there is no longer a substantial risk of forfeiture of their options. Mr. Belton, Mr. Clariond, Mr. Correnti, Ms. Griffin, Mr. Hammes and Mr. Keyes were retirement eligible on the date the stock options were granted and thus all of the expense of their stock options was accounted for in 2009. For other directors becoming retirement eligible we accelerate expense to the retirement eligibility date.

At the request of the UAW, the UAW representative director, Mr. Dennis D. Williams, does not receive stock option grant awards. Ms. Gulyas and Mr. Osborne were not members of the board when we last granted stock options and thus did not receive stock option grant awards.

  (a)

The stock options were granted on December 16, 2008 and the closing price of our stock on the date of grant was $23.04, which is the price the SEC determines to be the fair market value, however we grant stock options with an exercise price equal to the average of the high/low price of our common stock on the grant date, which was $22.655.

 

  (b)

The grant date fair value is generally the amount that we will expense in our financial statement over the award’s service period, but does not include a reduction for forfeitures.

Share Ownership Requirements for Non-Employee Directors

To encourage directors to own our shares, one-fourth of each director’s annual retainer is paid in the form of restricted stock each year. The stock is priced as of the date the first quarterly disbursement of the annual retainer is due. The restricted stock portion of the annual retainer will be provided pursuant to the Plan. For additional information regarding the Plan, see Note 20, Stock-based compensation plans, to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. Each director who has served on the Board for at least five years is expected to own a minimum of 2,000 shares of common stock or deferred stock units.

Deferred Fee Plan For Non-Employee Directors

Under our Non-Employee Directors Deferred Fee Plan, directors may defer fees otherwise payable in the form of cash or restricted stock. The amount otherwise payable in cash may be deferred in cash or in deferred stock units. Any amount deferred in cash is generally paid to the director, with interest at the prime rate, at the date specified by the director at the time of his or her election to defer. The amount otherwise payable in restricted stock may be deferred in deferred stock units. Any amount deferred in deferred stock units is credited into the director’s account at the then current market price. Such units are generally distributed to the director in the form of our common stock at the date specified by the director at the time of his or her election to defer. Elections to defer are made in the calendar year prior to year in which the fees are earned.

This table does not include information regarding our 401(k) plans. Our 401(k) plans consist of the following: Navistar, Inc. 401(k) Plan for Represented Employees and Navistar, Inc. Retirement Accumulation Plan. As of October 31, 2009, there were 437,966 shares of common stock outstanding and held in these plans.

 

(2)

This number includes stock options granted under our 1994 Performance Incentive Plan (the “1994 Plan”) and restoration stock options, deferred share units and premium share units (as described in the Executive Stock Ownership Program discussed below) granted under our 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). Prior to February 17, 2004, restoration stock options were granted under our 1998 Supplemental Stock Plan (a non-shareowner approved plan), as supplemented by the Restoration Stock Option Program. Under the Restoration Stock Option Program, generally one may exercise vested options by presenting shares that have a total market value equal to the option price times the number of options. Restoration options are then granted at the market price in an amount equal to the number of mature shares that were used to exercise the original option, plus the number of shares that are withheld for the required tax liability. Participants who own non-qualified stock options that were vested prior to December 31, 2004, may also defer the receipt of shares of common stock due in connection with a restoration stock option exercise of these options. Participants who elect to defer receipt of these shares will receive deferred stock units. The deferral feature is not available for non-qualified stock options that vest on or after January 1, 2005. The Restoration Stock Option Program was eliminated for all stock options granted on or after December 16, 2008. Stock options awarded to employees for the purchase of common stock from the 1994 Plan and the 2004 Plan were granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, generally have a 10-year contractual life and generally become exercisable as to one-third of the shares on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, so that in three years the shares are 100% vested. Awards of restricted stock granted under the 1994 Plan and awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted under the 2004 Plan were established by the Board or committee thereof at the time of issuance. The 1994 Plan expired on December 16, 2003, and as such no further awards may be granted under the 1994 Plan. As of October 31, 2009, 1,387,648 stock option awards remain outstanding for shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan, and 2,613,161 stock option awards, 3,607 deferred share units, 27,478 premium share units and 697,736 RSUs remain outstanding for shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan. For more information on the 2004 Plan see footnote 4 below.

 

(3)

RSUs, deferred share units and premium shares units granted under such plans do not have an exercise price and are settled only for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. These awards have been disregarded for purposes of computing the weighted-average exercise price. For more information on deferred share units and premium share units see the discussion under the paragraph below entitled “The Ownership Program.”

Our 2004 Plan was approved by the Board and the independent Compensation and Governance Committee on October 15, 2003, and, subsequently by our stockholders on February 17, 2004. Our 2004 Plan was subsequently amended on April 21, 2004, March 23, 2005, December 12, 2005, April 16, 2007, June 18, 2007, May 27, 2008, December 16, 2008, January 9, 2009 and December 15, 2009. The 2004 Plan replaced, on a prospective basis, our 1994 Plan, the 1998 Supplemental Stock Plan, both of which expired on December 16, 2003, and our 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”). A total of 3,250,000 shares of common stock were reserved for awards under the 2004 Plan. Shares subject to awards under the 2004 Plan, or the Prior Plans after February 17, 2004, that are cancelled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash, tendered to satisfy the purchase price of an award, withheld to satisfy tax obligations or otherwise terminated without a delivery of shares to the participant again become available for awards. This number represents the remaining number of unused shares from the year ended October 31, 2009, which are available for issuance for the following year.

 

(5)

The following plans were not approved by our stockholders: The 1998 Supplemental Stock Plan (as supplemented by the Restoration Stock Option Program (the “Supplemental Plan”)), The Executive Stock Ownership Program (the “Ownership Program”), The 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Stock Option Plan”), and The Non-Employee Directors Deferred Fee Plan (the “Deferred Fee Plan”). Below is a brief description of the material features of each plan, but in each case the information is qualified in its entirety by the text of such plans.

The Supplemental Plan. The Supplemental Plan was approved by the Board on December 15, 1998. A total of 4,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for awards under the Supplemental Plan. Stock options awarded under the Supplemental Plan were granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, generally have a 10-year contractual life and generally become exercisable as to one-third of the shares on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, so that in three years the shares are 100% vested. Awards of restricted stock granted under the Supplemental Plan are established by the Board or committee thereof at the time of issuance. As of October 31, 2009, 1,845,266 stock option awards remain outstanding for shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Supplemental Plan. Prior to February 17, 2004 the Restoration Stock Option Program was administered under and supplemented by the Supplemental Plan. As of October 31, 2009 there were 18,101 deferred stock units outstanding under the Supplemental Plan which relate to restoration stock options. For more information on the Restoration Stock Option Program, please see the description contained in Note 2 above. The Supplemental Plan expired December 16, 2003, and as such no further awards may be granted under the Supplemental Plan.

The Ownership Program. On June 16, 1997, the Board approved the terms of the Ownership Program, and on April 17, 2001, October 15, 2002 and August 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments thereto. In general, the Ownership Program requires all of our officers and senior managers to acquire, by direct purchase or through salary or annual bonus reduction, an ownership interest in NIC by acquiring a designated amount of our common stock at specified timelines. Participants are required to hold such stock for the entire period in which they are employed by the Company. Participants may defer their cash bonus into deferred share units (“DSUs”). These DSUs vest immediately. There were 9,342 DSUs (which includes 3,607 DSUs granted under the 2004 Plan after February 17, 2004) outstanding as of October 31, 2009. Premium share units (“PSUs”) may also be awarded to participants who complete their ownership requirement on an accelerated basis. PSUs vest as to one-third of the shares on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, so that in three years the shares are 100% vested. There were 68,503 PSUs (which includes 27,478 PSUs granted under the 2004 Plan after February 17, 2004) outstanding as of October 31, 2009. Each vested DSU and PSU will be settled by delivery of one share of common stock. Such settlement will occur within 10 days after a participant’s termination of employment. DSUs and PSUs are no longer granted under the Ownership Program but instead are granted under the 2004 Plan.

The Director Stock Option Plan. The Director Stock Option Plan was approved by the Board on December 16, 1997 and amended on December 11, 2001. A total of 250,000 shares of common stock are reserved for awards under the Director Stock Option Plan. The Director Stock Option Plan provides for an annual grant to each of our non-employee directors an option to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock. The option price in each case will be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the business day following the day of grant. As of October 31, 2009, 71,000 stock option awards remain outstanding for shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Director Stock Option Plan. Stock options awarded under the Director Stock Option Plan generally become exercisable in whole or in part after the commencement of the second year of the term of the option, which term is 10 years. The optionee is also required to remain in the service of the Company for at least one year from the date of grant. The Director Stock Option Plan was terminated on February 17, 2004. All future grants to non-employee directors will be issued under the 2004 Plan.

The Deferred Fee Plan. Under the Deferred Fee Plan, directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainer fees (in excess of their mandatory one-fourth restricted stock grant (as discussed above)) and meeting fees in cash or restricted stock, or they may defer payment of those fees in cash (with interest) or in phantom stock units. Deferrals in the deferred stock account are valued as if each deferral was vested in common stock as of the deferral date. As of October 31, 2009, there were 36,559 outstanding deferred stock units under the Deferred Fee Plan.

(6)

Includes 18,101 deferred stock units granted under the Supplemental Plan, 5,735 DSUs and 41,025 PSUs granted under the Ownership Program and 36,559 deferred stock units granted under the Deferred Fee Plan; all of which were outstanding as of October 31, 2009 under such plans.

 

(7)

Since the deferred stock units and DSUs and PSUs granted under such plans do not have an exercise price and are settled only for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, these awards have been disregarded for purposes of computing the weighted-average exercise price.

 

(8)

Upon approval of the 2004 Plan by our stockholders on February 17, 2004, the Supplemental Plan and the Director Stock Option Plan were terminated, and there are no longer any shares available for issuance under these plans. There is no limit on the number of securities representing deferred share units remaining available for issuance under the Ownership Program or the Deferred Fee Plan.

The Committee may modify, amend, or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that, unless the requisite approval of stockholders is obtained, no amendment shall be made to the Plan if such amendment would (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan or increase the limits applicable to Awards under the Plan, in each case, except as provided in Section XII; (ii) lower the Exercise Price of the Stock Option or SAR grant value below 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date, except as provided in Section XII; (iii) remove the repricing restriction set forth in Section IX; or (iv) require stockholder approval as a matter of law or under rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

SECTION XIX

RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES

Status as an Employee shall not be construed as a commitment that any one or more Awards will be made under this Plan to an Employee or to Employees generally. Status as a Participant shall not entitle the Participant to any additional future Awards. Nothing in the Plan will confer on any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or interfere with or prevent in any way the right of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to terminate an Employee or Participant’s employment at any time for any reason.

SECTION XX

Every right of action by or on behalf of the Corporation or any shareowner against any past, present or future member of the Board of Directors, officer or Employee arising out of or in connection with the Plan will, irrespective of the place where action may be brought and irrespective of the place of residence of any such director, officer or Employee, cease and be barred by the expiration of three (3) years from whichever is the later of (a) the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises or (b) the first date upon which there has been made generally available to shareowners an annual report of the Corporation and a proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareowners following the issuance of such annual report, which annual report and proxy statement alone or together set forth, for the related period, the aggregate amount of Awards under the Plan during such period; and any and all right of action by an Employee, Consultant, or Non-Employee Director (past, present or future) against the Corporation arising out of or in connection with the Plan shall, irrespective of the place where action may be brought, cease and be barred by the expiration of three (3) years from the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises.

SECTION XXIII
