June 29, 2006, you may vote on the matters discussed
herein. You have one vote for each share you own.
How to Vote
Voting by Proxy Holders for Shares
Registered in the Name of a Brokerage Firm or Bank.
If your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee
(i.e., in street name), you will receive
instructions from your nominee, which you must follow in order
to have your shares voted.

Registered Directly in the Name of Shareholder. If
you hold your shares in your own name as a holder of record, you
must instruct the proxy holders named in the enclosed proxy card
how to vote your shares by using the toll-free telephone number

enclosed envelope. Each of these voting methods is described
below:
|
|
|
Vote by Telephone. If you
hold your shares in your name as a holder of record, you may
vote by telephone by calling toll-free to 1-888-693-8683
from the United States and Canada and following the series
of voice instructions that will direct you how to vote your

|

or other nominee that holds their shares. |
Changing Your Vote
You may revoke your proxy at any time before it has been
exercised by:
|
|
|
|
|
mailing in a revised proxy dated later than the prior proxy
submitted, |
|
|
|
notifying the Corporate Secretary in writing that you are
revoking your proxy, |
|
|
|
casting a new vote by telephone or the Internet, or |
|
|
|
appearing in person and voting by ballot at the annual meeting. |
Quorum for the Meeting
A majority of the outstanding shares, present or represented by
proxy, constitutes a quorum. A quorum is necessary to conduct
business at the annual meeting. You are part of the quorum if
you have voted by proxy. Shares as to which the holder abstains
from voting on a particular proposal count at the meeting for
purposes of determining a quorum.
Broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled
to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker
non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares in
street name for a beneficial owner does not vote on
a particular proposal because the broker does not have
discretionary voting power for that particular proposal and has
not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
Counting of Votes
Only votes cast count in the voting results, and
withheld votes are not considered votes cast.
Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast. Under the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), brokers
may, at their discretion with respect to certain routine
matters, vote shares they hold in street name on
behalf of beneficial owners who have not returned voting
instructions to the brokers. Routine matters include the
election of directors. Broker non-votes on a
particular proposal will not constitute votes cast with respect
to such proposal.
At the close of business on June 29, 2006, the record date
for the annual meeting, the Company had 56,514,546 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding (excluding treasury
shares) which may be voted.
Cost of Proxy Solicitation
The Company pays the cost of soliciting proxies. Brokerage firms
and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries are reimbursed by
the Company for the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses
that they incur to send proxy materials to shareholders and
solicit their votes.
Shareholder Proposals
The Companys 2007 annual meeting of shareholders is
tentatively scheduled to be held on April 26, 2007. If the
meeting is held on that date, advance notice of any nominations
for directors and any other proposals sought to be presented at
that meeting must be given by March 7, 2007. In order to be
considered for inclusion in the proxy material for that meeting,
2
shareholder proposals must be received by the Corporate
Secretary no later than January 1, 2007. All shareholder
proposals (including director nominations) submitted to the
Corporate Secretary must be in accordance with the
Companys By-Laws and delivered to the Companys
address noted below:

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
The Self-Governance Guidelines of the Board contain a formal set
of qualification standards with respect to the determination of
director independence, which either meet or exceed the
independence requirements of the NYSE. Under the Self-Governance
Guidelines, only those directors who have no material
relationship with the Company (except as a director) are deemed
independent. The Self-Governance Guidelines specify the criteria
by which the independence of our directors will be determined,
including strict guidelines for directors and their immediate
families with respect to past employment or affiliation with the
Company or its independent registered public accounting firm.
See Board Self-Governance Guidelines below for more
information on these guidelines.
The Board has determined that, other than Lewis M. Kling, each
member of the Board, including all persons nominated for
reelections meet the independence standards set forth in the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and
the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. Mr. Kling
is not considered independent, as he serves as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Meetings of the Board
The Board held 5 regular meetings and 9 special meetings in
2005. Executive sessions of non-management directors are
normally held at least 5 times a year. Any non-management
director may request additional executive sessions to be
scheduled. Shareholders may communicate with the Companys
non-management directors by following the instructions set forth
in Shareholder Communications with the Board below.
Board members customarily have attended the Companys
annual meetings of shareholders. In
3
2005, each director attended at least 85% of the meetings of the
Board held during the period for which he or she has been a
director and the meetings of the Board committees on which he or
she served.
Non-Executive Chairman of the Board
Kevin E. Sheehan, as non-executive Chairman of the Board,
presides over both regular sessions of the Board and executive
sessions of the Board where only non-employee directors are
present. He approves the agendas for Board meetings in advance.
He also serves as a member of the Finance Committee and as an
alternate member of all other Board committees. Mr. Sheehan
generally attends all committee meetings, where possible.
Committees of the Board
Effective January 1, 2005, the Board separated its Audit/
Finance Committee into an Audit Committee and a Finance
Committee. Effective January 1, 2005, the Board also
renamed its Compensation Committee as the Organization and
Compensation Committee. As a result, the Board presently
maintains an Audit Committee, a Finance Committee, an
Organization and Compensation Committee and a Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee. Only independent directors
are eligible to serve on Board committees.
Each committee is governed by a written charter. The charters of
the Audit Committee, Finance Committee, Organization and
Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee are available on the Companys website at
www.flowserve.com under the Investor
Relations Governance caption. These documents
are also available in print to any shareholder who submits a
written request to Michael E. Conley, Vice President, Investor
Relations, Flowserve Corporation,
5215 N. OConnor Blvd., Suite 2300, Irving,
Texas 75039.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is currently composed of three directors,
Charles M. Rampacek, James O. Rollans (Chairman) and William C.
Rusnack. The same committee members served in 2005, with
Mr. Rollans acting as Chairman. The Board has determined
that Mr. Rollans, former Chief Financial Officer of Fluor
Corporation, is a qualified audit committee financial expert
under the SEC rules and has accounting or related financial
management expertise for purposes of the NYSE listing
requirements. The Board also determined that all members of the
committee are financially literate, within the meaning of the
NYSE corporate governance listing standards, and meet the
independence standards set forth in the SEC rules and the NYSE
corporate governance listing standards.
The committee directly engages the Companys independent
auditors, preapproves the scope of the annual external audit and
preapproves all audit and non-audit services to be provided by
the independent auditor. The committee further approves and
directly reviews the results of the internal audit plan. The
committee also meets with management and the independent
auditors to review the quality and accuracy of the annual and
quarterly financial statements and considers the reports and
recommendations of independent internal and external auditors
pertaining to audit results, accounting practices, policies and
procedures, and overall internal controls.
The committee meets periodically with the external and internal
auditors in executive session to discuss their reports on a
confidential basis. In addition, the committee prepares and
issues the Report of the Audit Committee located on page 32
of this proxy statement. The committee met 13 times in 2005.
The Board adopted and approved the current Audit Committee
charter effective as of December 15, 2005, a copy of which
is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.
4
Organization and Compensation
Committee
The Organization and Compensation Committee is currently
composed of four directors, Christopher A. Bartlett (Chairman),
Hugh K. Coble, Roger L. Fix and George T. Haymaker, Jr.
During 2005, the members of the committee were Christopher A.
Bartlett, Hugh K. Coble and George T. Haymaker, Jr.
(Chairman). The Board determined that all members of the
committee meet the independence standards set forth in the SEC
rules and the NYSE corporate governance listing standards.
The committee is responsible for establishing executive
compensation for officers, including the Chief Executive Officer
and key management personnel. Decisions regarding compensation
are made by the committee in a manner that is intended to be
internally equitable, externally competitive and an incentive
for effective performance in the best interests of shareholders.
The committee has retained an independent compensation
consultant to attend committee meetings as requested by the
committee and to provide advice directly to the committee. The
committee is also responsible for reviewing the management
succession plan and for recommending changes in director
compensation to the Board. The committee reviews the
organizational design, management development plans and
managerial capabilities of the Company. The committee also
prepares and issues the Report of the Organization and
Compensation Committee on executive compensation beginning on
page 26 of this proxy statement. The committee met 5 times
in 2005.
Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is currently
composed of four directors, Christopher A. Bartlett, Michael F.
Johnston, Charles M. Rampacek (Chairman) and James O. Rollans.
During 2005, the members of the committee were George T.
Haymaker, Jr., Michael F. Johnston, Charles M. Rampacek,
James O. Rollans and Kevin E. Sheehan. Mr. Sheehan ceased
to be a member of the committee in April 2005 in connection with
his appointment to serve as the Companys Interim Chairman
of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, which ended
in August 2005 when Lewis M. Kling was appointed President and
Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Sheehan was Chairman of the
committee until April 2005. Mr. Rampacek joined the
committee in April 2005 as its new Chairman to replace
Mr. Sheehan. The Board determined that all members of the
committee meet the independence standards set forth in the SEC
rules and the NYSE corporate governance listing standards.
The committee is responsible for making recommendations to the
Board for the positions of Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer and candidates for director. The
committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and
evaluating nominee director candidates. The committee assesses
the appropriateness of the Boards size and whether any
vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or other
factors. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or
otherwise arise, the committee considers various potential
candidates for director who may come to the attention of the
committee through current Board members, professional search
firms, shareholders or other persons. The committee generally
retains a national executive recruiting firm to research, screen
and contact potential candidates regarding their interest in
serving on the Board, although the committee may also use less
formal recruiting methods.
All identified candidates, including shareholder-proposed
nominees, as applicable, are evaluated by the committee using
generally the same methods and criteria, although those methods
and criteria are not standardized and may vary from time to time.
5
The Companys director nomination process for nominating
shareholders and our policy regarding the consideration of such
nominations is discussed under Shareholder Director
Nominations below.
The Boards Self-Governance Guidelines contain Board
membership criteria. Generally, the Board believes that its
members should have the highest professional and personal ethics
and a diversity of backgrounds. All existing and prospective new
members should have a broad strategic view and articulate
leadership skills, possess a global business perspective and
demonstrate relevant and successful career experience. Their
service on other boards of public companies should be limited to
a number that permits them, given their individual
circumstances, to responsibly perform all director duties. Each
director must represent the interests of all shareholders.
The committee is also responsible for evaluating the annual
Chief Executive Officers performance review conducted by
the Board. Further, the committee reviews and recommends, as
deemed appropriate, changes to corporate governance matters
consistent with SEC rules and the NYSE corporate governance
listing standards. The Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee met 5 times in 2005.
Finance Committee
The current members of the Finance Committee are Diane C.
Harris, Michael F. Johnston (Chairman) and Kevin E. Sheehan. The
same committee members served in 2005, with Mr. Johnston
acting as Chairman. The Board determined that all members of the
committee meet the independence standards set forth in the SEC
rules and the NYSE corporate governance listing standards.
The Finance Committee advises the Board on all corporate
financing and related treasury matters regarding capital
structure and major corporate transactions. The committee
monitors corporate risk management programs. The committee
approves major capital expenditures made by the committee. The
committee also advises the Board on pension fund performance.
Until the establishment of the Finance Committee, effective
January 1, 2005, these duties were performed by the Audit/
Finance Committee. The Finance Committee met 6 times in 2005.
Shareholder Director Nominations
In accordance with the Companys By-Laws, if you are a
shareholder entitled to vote at an annual meeting, you may
nominate one or more persons for election as a director of the
Company at that meeting. You may do this by sending a written
notice to Corporate Secretary, Flowserve Corporation,
5215 N. OConnor Blvd., Suite 2300, Irving,
Texas 75039. The Company must receive your notice not less than
50 days before the annual meeting date (provided, however,
that in the event that less than 60 days notice or
prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made to shareholders, the notice by the shareholder in order to
be considered timely must be so received not later than the
close of business on the 10th day following the day on
which such notice of the date of the annual meeting is mailed or
such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is
made). The shareholders notice must set forth:
(a) as to each shareholder-proposed nominee (i) the
name, age, business address and residence address of such
person, (ii) the principal occupation of such person,
(iii) the class and number of any shares of the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company which are beneficially owned by
such person and (iv) any other information relating to such
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for
proxies for election of directors pursuant to the rules and
regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act); and
(b) as to the shareholder giving the notice (i) the
name and record address of such
6
shareholder and (ii) the class and number of Company shares
beneficially owned by such shareholder.
After submission, in accordance with the Companys policy
on considering director nominations by shareholders, the notice
will be referred to the Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee for further consideration. The Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee may require any shareholder-proposed
nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be
required to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee
or to assist in evaluating the proposed nominee. The Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee may require the submission
of a fully completed and signed Questionnaire for Directors and
Executive Officers on the Companys standard form and a
written consent by the shareholder-proposed nominee to serve as
a director if so elected. Shareholder nominations that comply
with these procedures and that meet the criteria outlined above
will receive the same consideration that the Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committees other proposed
nominees receive.
Board Self-Governance Guidelines
In addition to the corporate governance duties noted for each
committee above, the Board continuously monitors and updates, as
deemed appropriate, internal guidelines designed to promote
superior oversight of the Company. The guidelines set parameters
for the director recruiting process and the composition of Board
committees. They also determine the formal process for Board
review and evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer, individual
directors and Board performance. The guidelines also establish
targets for director stock ownership.
These guidelines require a director to offer his or her
resignation when such directors principal occupation
changes during a term of office. Under such circumstances, the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will review
whether it is appropriate for the director to continue serving
on the Board. Finally, these guidelines establish maximum term
and age limits for directors, which may be waived by the Board
if deemed appropriate.
The Boards Self Governance Guidelines, as well as the
Companys Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct, are
available on the Companys website at www.flowserve.com
under the Investor Relations
Governance caption. These documents are also available in
print to any shareholder who submits a written request to
Michael E. Conley, Vice President, Investor Relations, Flowserve
Corporation, 5215 N. OConnor Blvd.,
Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039.
Shareholder Communications with
the Board
Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with
the Board by writing to Kevin E. Sheehan, Chairman of the Board,
c/o Flowserves Corporate Secretary, Flowserve
Corporation 5215 N. OConnor Blvd.,
Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039. All such communications
are delivered to Mr. Sheehan.
DIRECTORS COMPENSATION
Basic Annual Retainer Compensation
During 2005, non-employee directors were approved to receive an
annual retainer with an aggregate target value of
$85,000 per year. The annual retainer was comprised of a
cash portion equal to $35,000 and an equity portion with a
target grant valuation of $50,000 which was to be granted at the
2005 annual meeting of shareholders. During 2005, non-employee
directors received the cash portion of the annual retainer, but
did not receive the equity portion as the 2005 annual meeting of
shareholders was not held during 2005. In addition, the chairman
of each committee and each committee member received annual
committee service fees as described below. Directors will
receive an equity
7
grant at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders to be held
August 24, 2006 in the form of restricted common stock of
the Company having a fair market value of $100,000 on the date
of grant, consistent with the increase in annual director
compensation described below under 2006 Director
Compensation. Directors will receive this equity grant in
addition to their regular 2006 director compensation.
Voting rights will accompany such restricted stock, which will
fully vest after one year. This restricted stock will also be
subject to a holding period prohibiting resale, which is the
shorter of five years from the date of grant or one year after
the director ceases service on the Board. Directors may elect to
defer all or a portion of their annual retainer compensation.
Interest was paid on cash deferrals. Directors who elected to
defer the cash portion of their annual retainer compensation and
to receive it in the form of Company stock at a later date
received a 15% premium on such deferred amounts.
Annual Committee Service Fee
Compensation
During 2005, the chairman of each committee and each committee
member received the following annual committee service fee
compensation:

Supplemental Compensation
On October 12, 2005, the Organization and Compensation
Committee approved supplemental compensation to specified
directors for their service on special ad hoc
subcommittees formed during 2005 for the Companys search
for, and transition to, a new Chief Executive Officer. The
supplemental compensation was awarded in recognition of services
performed by those directors outside their regular Board and
committee duties, responsibilities and expectations. The
services performed included the negotiation of the separation
agreement for the Companys former Chief Executive Officer,
the development of a special senior management retention plan
during the search for the new Chief Executive Officer, special
recruiting work related to identifying, interviewing and
evaluating new candidates for the Chief Executive Officer
position and the negotiation of a new employment agreement with
Lewis M. Kling in connection with his appointment as President
and Chief Executive Officer. The supplemental compensation was
based on the number of days each director performed these
services and on a per diem payment of $3,500. For these
services, each director named below received the supplemental
compensation set forth opposite his name:

Non-Executive Chairman of the
Board Compensation
Kevin E. Sheehan began serving as non-executive Chairman of the
Board on August 1, 2005. On October 12, 2005, the
Organization and Compensation Committee proposed, and the full
Board approved, the payment to Mr. Sheehan of $100,000
annually which began August 1, 2005, for his service as
non-executive Chairman of the Board. This payment is in addition
to Mr. Sheehans basic annual retainer and committee
service fee compensation that he receives for serving as a Board
member and a committee member. Mr. Sheehan receives this
additional compensation on a quarterly basis, in accordance with
the pre-established director compensation cycles.
2006 Director Compensation
On April 27, 2006, the Board approved a recommendation from
the Organization and Compensation Committee and the Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee to adjust annual
non-employee director compensation. Effective May 1, 2006,
non-employee directors receive: (a) an annual cash retainer
of $50,000; (b) equity compensation with a target value of
$100,000 per year; (c) an annual cash committee
service fee of $5,000 and (d) an annual cash committee
chairman service fee of $10,000. The non-executive Chairman of
the Board will continue to receive an additional $100,000 in
cash annually. The equity portion of the foregoing compensation
will be provided in the form of restricted common stock of the
Company having a $100,000 fair market valuation at the time of
grant which is generally on the date of the annual meeting of
shareholders of the applicable year. Since the Company did not
hold its 2005 annual meeting of shareholders in 2005 and it will
hold both its 2005 and 2006 annual meetings of shareholders on
August 24, 2006, eligible directors will receive two such
equity grants in 2006. Directors who elect to defer the cash
portion of their annual compensation and elect to receive such
compensation in the form of Company common stock at a later date
will continue to receive a 15% premium on such deferred amounts.
PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE: ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS
The Board has nominated for re-election four members of the
class of directors whose terms of office are expiring. Each of
those persons is nominated to serve for a new term that will end
at the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders. The nominees are
Roger L. Fix, Diane C. Harris, Lewis M. Kling and
James O. Rollans.
The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will
vote your proxy for the election of these nominees unless you
withhold authority to vote for any one or more of them. If any
director is unable to stand for re-election, the Board may
reduce the number of directors or choose a substitute.
Recommendation
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF
EACH OF THE FOLLOWING NOMINEES.

Represents shares that the directors and Named Executive
Officers had a nominal right, subject to the exercise suspension
discussed below, to acquire within 60 days of the date of
determination through the exercise of stock options under
certain Company stock option and incentive plans. These stock
option shares are not currently exercisable due to the temporary
suspension of the Companys stock option exercise program,
as a result of which current employees, including executive
officers, qualified retirees and our directors are unable to
exercise their vested options. The stock option exercise program
was temporarily suspended due to the fact that the Company was
not able to timely file its annual and quarterly periodic
reports with the SEC, which made it impossible to issue
registered shares upon option exercises. Each person disclaims
beneficial ownership of such shares subject to such options. |

All options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of
the Companys common stock on the date the grant is
authorized by the Board and a
10-year life. The
options also have certain limited rights which, in
general, provide for a cash payment of the value of the option
in the event of a change in control of the Company. |
|

The figures reported above include incentive option grants for
2005 as follows: Mr. Greer 0;
Mr. Sheehan 0; Mr. Kling
8,032; Mr. Blinn 12,048;
Mr. Pajonas 5,234;
Mr. Ferguson 6,526; and
Mr. Dailey 5,083. All other options granted
were non-qualified. |
|
(3) |
Annual option grants become exercisable pro-rata over a
three-year term in three equal installments on the first, second
and third anniversaries of the grant date. |
|
(4) |
The calculation of potential realizable value assumes annual
growth rates for each of the grants shown over their
10-year option term and
are not suggested to be indicative of projected results. For
example, a $24.90 per share price with a 5% annual growth
rate results in a stock price of $40.56 per share and a 10%
rate results in a price of $64.58 per share. Actual gains,
if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future
performance of the stock. |

Pension Plans
The Company provides pension benefits to executive officers
under the Flowserve Corporation Pension Plan (the
Qualified Plan) and its two non-qualified
supplemental executive retirement plans (the Non-qualified
Plans). The first Non-qualified Plan, the Senior Manager
Retirement Plan (the SMRP), provides benefits that
plan participants cannot receive under the Qualified Plan due to
Internal Revenue Code (the Code) limits. The second
Non-qualified Plan, the Supplement Executive Retirement Plan
(the SERP), provides an additional supplemental
benefit to certain executive officers, including the Named
Executive Officers listed below. On July 1, 1999, the
Companys pension plans were converted to a cash balance
design. Since then, participants in the Qualified Plan and the
SMRP accrue contribution credits based on age and years of
service at the rate of 3% to 7% for eligible earnings up to the
Social Security wage base and at the rate of 6% to 12% for
eligible earnings in excess of the Social Security wage base.
Participants in the SERP accrue contribution credits at the rate
of 5% of all eligible earnings. Eligible earnings include salary
and annual incentive payments. Plan participants also earn
interest on the accrued cash balance based on the rate of return
on 10-year Treasury
bills. The estimated annual retirement annuities for the
following Named Executive Officers at age 65 are as follows:

EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
Employment Agreement
Lewis M. Kling
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Lewis M.
Kling as of July 28, 2005, whereby Mr. Kling agreed to
serve as President and Chief Executive Officer beginning on
August 1, 2005, and ending on July 31, 2008, with
automatic renewal for one-year periods (the Employment
Agreement). Prior to his appointment as President and
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kling served as the
Companys Chief Operating Officer after joining the Company
in July 2004. Pursuant to terms of the Employment Agreement,
Mr. Kling receives an annual base salary of $850,000,
subject to increase based on annual reviews. He is also eligible
to receive an annual bonus, based on the attainment of certain
performance targets established by the Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board, ranging from 0% to 200% of
his base salary, as well to participate in any benefit and
incentive plans of the Company on terms no less favorable than
those applicable to other senior executives. Additionally, he is
entitled to the vesting of 20% of any nonqualified pension
benefit that is not yet then vested, provided that he remains
employed through July 31, 2008. Under the Employment
Agreement, Mr. Klings participation in the
Companys Transitional Executive Security Plan was
terminated and no payments are due to him under that plan. In
lieu of his participation in that plan, the Company made a
special one-time lump-sum payment to Mr. Kling of $520,000.
Additionally, the Employment Agreement included a grant of
69,748 shares of the Companys common stock at an
exercise price of $33.86, the fair market value of the shares on
the grant date, July 28, 2005. The options vest in three
equal annual installments, with vesting to occur upon the first
anniversary of the grant date. Mr. Kling was also granted
40,800 shares of restricted common stock which vest on
July 28, 2008.
The Employment Agreement provides that if the Company terminates
Mr. Klings employment other than for cause, death or
disability or Mr. Kling terminates his employment for good
reason (as these terms are defined in the Employment Agreement)
and Mr. Kling has executed and not revoked a release of
claims against the Company: (i) the Company will pay to
Mr. Kling within 30 days after his employment
terminates a lump-sum cash amount equal to the sum of (A)
(I) the sum of his annual base salary at the time of
termination and (II) the annual bonus earned by him for the
bonus year preceding the year in which his employment terminates
and (B) a pro-rata portion of the target bonus based on the
number of days of service during the bonus year occurring prior
to termination of employment; (ii) all stock-based awards
held by Mr. Kling that have not yet vested or otherwise
become unrestricted shall immediately vest or become
unrestricted in full; (iii) the target payment under all
dollar-denominated, performance-based long-term incentive
compensation programs shall be paid to Mr. Kling in a lump
sum in cash within 30 days; and (iv) Mr. Kling shall
become fully vested in any nonqualified pension benefit that is
not yet vested. Also, provided that Mr. Kling has been
continuously employed by the Company for three years (including
service prior to July 28, 2005), Mr. Kling (or his
current spouse, as the case may be) shall be entitled to
purchase health benefit coverage for Mr. Kling and his
current spouse (Continuing Health Coverage)
substantially similar to that available under the Companys
health benefit programs at the cost to the Company of providing
such coverage to its actively employed senior executives
through, respectively, the period of Mr. Klings and
his current spouses eligibility for coverage under
Medicare. Following any such termination, Mr. Kling will
also receive any Accrued Compensation (as described below).
22
If Mr. Klings employment is terminated for cause or
Mr. Kling terminates his employment without good reason,
the Employment Agreement will terminate without further
obligations to Mr. Kling other than the Companys
indemnification obligation to Mr. Kling and the payment to
Mr. Kling of the sum of (i) his annual base salary
through the date his employment terminates, (ii) any
payments that have become vested or that are otherwise due in
accordance with the terms of any employee benefit, incentive or
compensation plan, and (iii) any reimbursable expenses
incurred by Mr. Kling, in each case to the extent
theretofore unpaid (collectively, Accrued
Compensation).
If Mr. Klings employment is terminated by reason of
his death or disability, the Employment Agreement will terminate
without further obligations to Mr. Kling other than
(i) the Companys indemnification obligation to
Mr. Kling, (ii) the payment of Accrued Compensation,
(iii) all stock-based awards that have not yet vested or
otherwise become unrestricted shall immediately become vested or
otherwise unrestricted in full (iv) the target payment
under all dollar-denominated, performance-based long-term
incentive compensation programs will be paid to Mr. Kling
(or his estate or beneficiary, as applicable) and
(v) Mr. Kling shall become fully vested in any
nonqualified pension benefit that is not yet vested.
Kevin E. Sheehan
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Kevin E.
Sheehan as of April 1, 2005, whereby Mr. Sheehan
agreed to serve as Interim Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer, beginning on April 4, 2005 and
ending upon such time as a successor Chief Executive Officer is
elected by the Board and takes office (the Interim
Employment Agreement). Prior to his appointment as Interim
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. Sheehan served as a director on our Board and member of
the Finance Committee. Pursuant to terms of the Interim
Employment Agreement, Mr. Sheehan received an annual base
salary of $810,000 (rate that was equal to the previous Chief
Executive Officers annual base salary prior to his
termination of service) and annual incentive compensation target
of $700,000 (adjusted pro-rata for the number of work days
actually served). Mr. Sheehan served in this capacity from
April 4, 2005 to July 31, 2005 and received $534,820
or the equivalent of $6,292 per work day for his services. He
received additional compensation of $62,920, at the same daily
rate, for his directly related service during the two-week
transition period from August 1, 2005 to August 12,
2005 after Lewis M. Kling was appointed as director, President
and Chief Executive Officer. Under the interim Employment
Agreement, Mr. Sheehan was not awarded any long term
incentive opportunities, but he remained eligible to receive his
annual award of options or restricted stock equivalent to the
amount he would normally have received for his service as an
independent director of the Board. Additionally, in his interim
position, Mr. Sheehan did not participate in the
Companys qualified pension plan, non-qualified executive
supplemental pension plans nor the 401(k) plan.
Separation and Release Agreement
C. Scott Greer
The Company entered into an employment agreement with C. Scott
Greer, the Companys former President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board, effective as of July 1,
1999. On April 4, 2005, Mr. Greer resigned as the
Companys President and Chief Executive Officer and as a
director (including his capacity as Chairman of the Board). His
employment agreement included the following compensation:
(i) annual base salary equal to $787,670 for 2004;
(ii) minimum annual bonus opportunity of no less than 75%
of base salary; (iii) participation in the Companys
Long-Term
23
Incentive Plan; and (iv) an interest-free loan of $325,738,
which was forgiven after the completion of five years of
employment with the Company, in recognition of his willingness
to promptly relocate and resulting loss of equity on his prior
home.
In connection with Mr. Greers resignation, the
Company entered into a Separation and Release Agreement with
Mr. Greer as of April 4, 2005. Pursuant to the
agreement, from April 5, 2005, through June 30, 2005,
Mr. Greer continued to be an employee of the Company
performing such duties as requested by the Board. During such
time, he was entitled to receive the same compensation as
payable under his employment agreement and existing compensation
programs of the Company. As a condition for Mr. Greer
executing a release of claims against the Company, the Company
paid Mr. Greer an $810,000 transition allowance. All
options and restricted stock held by Mr. Greer and subject
to vesting after June 30, 2005 and on or before
July 17, 2005, became vested on June 30, 2005, and the
options held by him remain exercisable until the later of
(i) December 31, 2006, or (ii) if the Company is
unable to sell stock due to securities laws or other
restrictions on that date, 90 days after the date when
stock can be issued by the Company, but not beyond the
expiration of the options. All options and restricted stock held
by Mr. Greer that were subject to vesting after
July 17, 2005, were forfeited. Mr. Greer was also
entitled to a furnished office, with telephone and computer
service, and secretarial support for the period beginning
April 5, 2005, and ending June 30, 2005. He was also
eligible to receive certain transition-related fees in an amount
not exceeding $25,000. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Greer
is restricted from competing with the Company for a one-year
period.
Change-in-Control Arrangements
The Company maintains
change-in-control
executive severance plans covering key management, officers and
executive officers of the Company, providing certain employment
termination benefits. These benefits become irrevocable and are
paid in the event that covered employment is terminated
immediately prior to or within two years after a change in
control of the Company. These termination benefits include the
following payments: (i) three times the sum of the
managers or officers base salary and the target
bonus or other annual awards under incentive plans;
(ii) immediate vesting of non-exercisable stock-based
compensation; (iii) continuation of participation in
certain employee benefit plans for up to three years; and
(iv) full reimbursement for certain potential excise tax
liabilities.
Transitional Executive Security
Plan
A search for a new Chief Executive Officer was conducted by a
transition committee of the Board following the agreement
between the Board and C. Scott Greer, former President and Chief
Executive Officer, not to renew Mr. Greers employment
agreement with the Company. The Board adopted a Transitional
Executive Security Plan effective as of March 14, 2005 (the
TES Plan), to promote continuity in management
during this transition period. The Board concluded that the TES
Plan was appropriate and desirable to promote management
stability while the Company was experiencing increased bookings
and stronger business conditions in many of its markets. The
Board was optimistic about the Companys business prospects
and decided to adopt the TES Plan as a special incentive to
retain and motivate the senior management staff during the Chief
Executive Officer search period.
The TES Plan provides for two mutually exclusive benefits.
First, the Company will pay a cash lump sum equal to
12 months base pay to any participant who remains employed
by the Company through the first anniversary of the date as of
which a new Chief Executive Officer commenced employment with
the Company. Lewis M. Kling, the President and Chief
24
Executive Officer of the Company, was appointed on
August 1, 2005. Second, the Company will pay a cash lump
sum equal to 18 months base pay to any participant whose
employment is terminated by the Company without cause (as
defined in the TES Plan) before such date (unless such
participant is entitled to benefits under a change in control
severance plan maintained by the Company). In addition, for any
participant who is eligible for such a severance payment under
the TES Plan, the Company will provide continued welfare
benefits for nine months (reduced by benefits from any
subsequent employer), and all outstanding equity awards granted
to the Participant will immediately vest in full and generally
remain exercisable (if applicable) for a period of 180 days
following termination of employment. In either case, the payment
of benefits is conditioned upon a customary release of claims by
the participant.
The following executive officers of the Company participate in
the TES Plan: Andrew J. Beall, Mark A. Blinn, Mark D. Dailey,
Thomas E. Ferguson, John H. Jacko, Linda P. Jojo, Thomas L.
Pajonas and Ronald F. Shuff. Certain other corporate officers of
the Company also participate in the TES Plan.
Mr. Klings participation in the TES Plan ended when
he entered into his employment agreement on July 28, 2005
to become President and Chief Executive Officer, and he received
a $520,000 lump-sum
payment in settlement of his plan participation rights. The
Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board, which
administers the TES Plan, may name additional participants from
time to time.

TRANSACTIONS
None.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND
INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During 2005, the members of the Organization and Compensation
Committee were Christopher A. Bartlett, Hugh H. Coble and George
T. Haymaker, Jr. None of the members of the Organization
and Compensation Committee was at any time during 2005 an
officer or employee of the Company. No member of the
Organization and Compensation Committee serves as a member of
the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity
that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of
the Companys Board or Organization and Compensation
Committee.
25
REPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION AND
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the Committee) is
currently comprised of Christopher A. Bartlett, Hugh K. Coble,
Roger L. Fix and George T. Haymaker, Jr. Each of the
members is independent, as determined by our Board, and each
meets the independence standards set forth by the SEC rules,
NYSE corporate governance listing standards and
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Fix
recently joined the Committee in April 2006. During 2005, the
Committee consisted of only the other three members. No member
of the Committee is, or has been in the past, an officer or
employee of the Company.
The roles and responsibilities of the Committee involve, among
other things, overseeing and directing development of executive
compensation policies and programs consistent with, and
explicitly linked to, the strategic objectives of the Company
and, in turn, the creation of shareholder value. Specific
Committee responsibilities are listed below.
|
|
|
|
|
Determining appropriate levels and forms of compensation for the
Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) and other senior
executives including salaries, annual incentives, long-term
incentives (cash and all forms of equity awards) and employee
benefits. |
|
|
|
Overseeing the alignment of organizational design and management
development in support of achieving the Companys
operational objectives and strategic plans. |
|
|
|
Monitoring the policies, practices and processes designed to
develop the Companys core organizational capabilities and
managerial competencies including its ability to: |
|
|
|
|
° |
Attract, develop and retain a high caliber and diverse
management talent pool; |
|
|
° |
Design and implement effective organizational structures,
management processes and culture; and |
|
|
° |
Manage the talent pipeline and succession planning process to
ensure the quality and continuity of internal candidates able to
fill the CEO role and all other key management positions. |
Compensation Philosophy and
Principles
The Board and Committee believe that strong links should be
forged between executive compensation and managements
achievements in increasing shareholder value. This belief should
be reflected in the development of compensation programs that
provide competitive compensation that is in line with and
reflective of Company performance. Listed below are several
fundamental principles to which the Committee adheres in
discharging its responsibilities for executive compensation.
|
|
|
|
|
The majority of the total compensation opportunity for the CEO
and other senior executives should be at risk with actual
compensation levels correlating with the Companys actual
performance relative to criteria approved by the Committee. |
|
|
|
Incentive compensation should focus more heavily on long-term
rather than short-term achievements. |
26
|
|
|
|
|
Equity-based compensation and ownership requirements should be
used to provide the CEO and other executives with clear and
direct links to the shareholders interests along with
meaningful rewards for meaningful improvements in shareholder
value. |
|
|
|
The total reward opportunities should be competitive, equitable
and structured to assure the Companys ability to attract,
retain and motivate the talented executives essential to its
success. |
Among the key metrics and evaluation criteria considered in
designing programs and rewards consistent with these fundamental
principles are: share price appreciation, revenue growth,
earnings growth, cash flow growth and return on investment.
Other performance measures and criteria are considered and used
to accomplish specific objectives in such areas as focusing
operational and strategic attention, developing organizational
and management capabilities and motivating appropriate behavior.
The Committee has retained and regularly meets with an
independent compensation consultant who assists the Committee in
evaluating how well the Companys compensation programs
adhere to the stated philosophies and principles.
Compensation Program Design
The Companys total rewards program for the CEO and other
executives consists of four principal elements.
1. Base Salaries. Base salaries are set at
levels that reflect the competitive marketplace for companies of
similar size and complexity and that would be considered
competitors of the Company in attracting and retaining high
caliber executives.
|
|
|
In 2005, as in other years, the salaries of the Named Executive
Officers and other executives were reviewed and approved by the
Committee based on its assessment of each executives
experience and performance, and the relationship of the
Companys executive salaries to the salaries of our
compensation peer group. |
2. Annual Incentives. The Annual Incentive
Plan (AIP) provides for bonuses to executives based
on Company and divisional performance relative to specific goals
and objectives established at the beginning of each year. Target
bonus opportunities for each executive are set as percentages of
base salary. Actual bonuses may range from zero up to two times
the targets based on performance. The Committee reviews and
approves all AIP target bonuses, performance measures and goals
annually.
For 2006, the primary performance measures established for the
AIP were operating income and cash flow and sales growth.
3. Long-term Incentives. The Companys
long-term incentive (LTI ) program consists of three
components: cash-based contingent awards, stock options and
restricted stock. It is the belief of the Committee that the
three components provide a sound balance among risk, motivation
and retention. The total target opportunities for the executives
are set as percentages of base salary with each component
opportunity representing approximately one-third of the total
target opportunity. The number of options and restricted shares
granted are based on stock option and restricted stock
valuations that are updated every three years. The Committee has
established, and the Board has approved, guidelines for
executive stock ownership. Officers failing to meet their
personal ownership target levels are subject to partial
forfeiture of
27
their eligibility for awards under the annual stock compensation
programs noted below.
|
|
|
|
|
Cash-based Contingent Awards. Performance goals of
primary importance to the Companys strategy are
established for a three-year period. At the end of the
three-year period, the actual performance relative to the goals
is measured and, if above a threshold, award payments may be
approved by the Committee. If performance is outstanding, award
payments may extend up to three times an executives target
opportunity. |
|
|
|
|
|
The performance measures established for the 2006-2008
cash-based awards were operating margin, sales growth and return
on net assets. The Companys cost of capital, peer group
performance and the Companys financial objectives were
considered when setting the goals or metrics for the three-year
performance period. |
|
|
|
|
|
Stock Option Grants. Stock options are normally granted
to executives each year with an exercise price always set at
fair market value as of the date of grant. The options granted
in 2006 will vest one-third per year each year in 2007, 2008 and
2009 and will expire ten years after the grant date. |
|
|
|
Restricted Stock Grants. Restricted stock is normally
granted to executives each year. The restricted stock granted in
2006 will vest one-third per year each year in 2007, 2008 and
2009. |
4. Benefits. Benefits offered to executives
provide for retirement income and serve as a safety net against
illness, disability or death, and in this regard are similar to
those offered to all other employees of the Company, except for
programs that allow for retirement benefits in excess of that
qualified by the tax code. Additional perquisites, such as car
allowances and financial planning allowances, are also provided
to executives. There were no unusual departures from this policy
in 2005.
Deductibility of Certain Executive
Compensation
It is the Companys practice and intent to qualify
incentive compensation for the exemption from the deduction
limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
and to be consistent with providing appropriate compensation to
executives. Although it is the Companys intent to qualify
compensation for the exemption from the deduction limitations,
the Companys compensation policies and practices have
been, and will continue to be, designed to serve the best
interests of the shareholders regardless of whether specific
compensation qualifies for the exemption.
CEO Compensation
Lewis M. Kling, who was the Chief Operating Officer from July
2004 until August 2005, became President and Chief Executive
Officer in August 2005. Mr. Kling participated in the
compensation programs described above for the Companys
executive officers. Prior to becoming President and Chief
Executive Officer, his annualized base salary was $520,000 and
his AIP bonus target opportunity was 80% of his base salary.
Pursuant to Mr. Klings Employment Agreement when he
became President and Chief Executive Officer, his annualized
base salary was increased to $850,000, his AIP bonus target
opportunity was increased to 100% of his base salary and he
received grants of 40,800 shares of restricted stock and a
stock option for 69,748 shares of common stock. During
2005, he also received additional grants of 19,500 shares
of restricted stock and stock
28
options for 32,000 shares during his service in his earlier
role as the Companys Chief Operating Officer.
Mr. Kling did not participate in the 2003-2005 cash-based
LTI plan.
As a result of the Companys performance in 2005,
Mr. Kling received an AIP award equal to 184% of his target
opportunity. This above target award resulted both from the
Companys strong operating cash flow performance and the
Companys operating earnings performance against budget. In
determining this performance, the Committee excluded from the
computation (in a manner affecting Mr. Kling and all other
management employees) certain costs deemed to be unusual, or
which effectively arose from prior periods or which otherwise
were not directly related to 2005 operational performance. The
actual award was increased by the AIP provisions (affecting all
management employees) which provide proportionately higher
awards than the corresponding percentage of above goal
attainment, a feature designed to motivate superior above goal
performance. Mr. Klings personal award was also
further increased by the Committee in recognition of its
positive assessment of his personal performance in 2005,
pursuant to AIP terms.
Kevin E. Sheehan, non-executive Chairman of the Board, received
compensation of $534,820 or the equivalent of $6,292 per
work day for service as Interim Chief Executive Officer from
April 4, 2005, to July 31, 2005. He received
additional compensation of $62,920, at the same daily rate, for
his directly related service during the two-week transition
period from August 1, 2005 to August 12, 2005 after
Lewis M. Kling was named President and Chief Executive Officer
effective August 1, 2005. He did not receive benefits and
was not eligible for any cash or stock based incentive awards
available to officers during the period. Mr. Sheehan
received the director fees both before and after his service as
Interim Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer which
are described on page 8 of this proxy statement.
C. Scott Greer, who was the Chief Executive Officer until
April 4, 2005, participated in the compensation programs
described above for the Chief Executive Officer and other
executives prior to his departure. Mr. Greer received
$503,894 in salary and related compensation in 2005, but did not
receive any cash or stock incentive awards. The terms of
Mr. Greers separation and release are summarized on
page 25 of this proxy statement.
Organization and Management
Development Philosophy and Principles
The Board and the Committee believe that the people who work for
the Company are a key strategic resource and that management
should be held accountable for maintaining a pipeline of top
talent that ensures all key positions are filled and secure on
an ongoing basis. The Committee and the Board further believe
that the Companys organizational capabilities are vital to
its achievement of strategic objectives. In administering its
responsibilities for organization and management development,
the Committee focuses on the following points:
|
|
|
|
|
Ensuring the Companys ability to attract top talent who
are aligned with the organizations culture and values; |
|
|
|
Reinforcing the Companys strong commitment to training and
developing its executives, managers and other employees; |
|
|
|
Reviewing management succession, career and development plans
for all key positions with an emphasis on ensuring that all such
positions can be filled with top talent in the event of sudden
or planned transitions; |
29
|
|
|
|
|
Holding top management accountable for its ability to attract,
motivate, develop and retain people; |
|
|
|
Reviewing the organizations structure, management
processes and culture with an emphasis on ensuring they support
the strategic priorities and operational objectives of the
Company; and |
|
|
|
Instilling and supporting a performance culture in which the
goals, performance and rewards are linked to the objectives of
the Company and its divisions. |
Organization and Management
Development Program Overview
For all key positions, particularly the CEO and executive
positions, the Committee will maintain an ongoing overview of
management succession plans, executive development plans, and
strategic staffing plans and processes. The Committee will also
monitor the organizational effectiveness and cultural health of
the Company. As part of that overview, the Committee will
conduct annual reviews of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Training programs and development processes; |
|
|
|
Organizational design and effectiveness; |
|
|
|
Employee survey results; and |

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the Committee) is currently comprised of three
independent directors, Charles M. Rampacek, James O. Rollans and
William C. Rusnack. The Committee operates under a written
charter adopted by the Board. The Committee met 13 times in 2005.
Management has primary responsibility for the Companys
internal controls and the financial reporting process. The
independent auditors are responsible for performing an
independent audit of the Companys consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and issuing a report on this audit. The
Committees responsibility is to monitor and oversee this
process, including the engagement of the independent auditors,
the pre-approval of their annual audit plan and the review of
their annual audit report.
In this context, the Committee has met and held detailed
discussions with management on the Companys consolidated
financial statements. Management represented to the Committee
that the Companys consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and that these
statements fairly present the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the period described. The
Committee has relied upon this representation without any
independent verification, except for the work of the independent
auditors. The Committee also discussed these statements with the
Companys independent auditors, both with and without
management present, and has relied upon their reported opinion
on these financial statements.
The Committee further discussed, with the independent auditors,
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) and
No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications), including the
independence of the auditors. During this review, the
Companys independent auditors also provided to the
Committee the written letter required by Independence Standards
Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit
Committees). The Committee has also considered whether the
principal auditors provision of non-audit services was
compatible with maintaining the auditors independence in
conducting the annual audit. Towards that end, the Committee
continues to pre-approve any audit related and non-audit fees
and services before they are commenced.
Following the Committees discussions with management and
the independent auditors, including the Committees
specific review with management of the Companys Annual
Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005, and based upon the
representations of management and the report of the independent
auditors to the Committee, the Committee recommended that the
Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in
the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005.

The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the audit and non-audit
fees described above for the year ended December 31, 2004
and December 31, 2005 in accordance with its pre-approval
policy discussed below. The increase in audit fees for the 2004
and 2005 audit is affected by the length of time required to
complete the 2004 audit and the restatement of certain prior
years, with the Company filing its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2004 on February 13, 2006 and
its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005 on June 30, 2006.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee pre-approves all services, whether audit or
non-audit, provided by the PwC and all related fees, which are
itemized for the annual audit and non-audit services. The Audit
Committee focuses on any matters that may affect the scope of
the audit or PwCs independence and to that end receives
certain representations from PwC regarding their independence
and permissibility under the applicable laws and regulations of
non-audit services provided by PwC to the Company. The Audit
Committee also pre-approves the internal audit plan for the
Company and the scope and timing of the external audit plan for
the Company.
The Audit Committee may delegate its pre-approval authority to
the Chairman of the Audit Committee to the extent allowed by
law. In the case of any delegation, the Chairman must disclose
all pre-approval determinations to the full Audit Committee as
soon as possible after such determinations have been made.
