Vote Required and Method of Counting Votes
The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by duly authorized proxy, of a majority of all the stock issued and outstanding and having voting power shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions are counted as shares present at the meeting.
Item 1: Election of Directors
In an uncontested director election, each director nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that directors election at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted for a directors election exceeds 50 percent of the number of votes cast with respect to that directors election. Votes cast include direction to withhold authority but exclude abstentions and broker nonvotes with respect to that directors election. Pursuant to Company bylaws, an incumbent director that is not elected by a majority vote will tender his
2
or her resignation subject to acceptance by the Board. The Companys Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Proxies signed, dated and returned unmarked will be voted FOR all of the Nominees for Class I Director. Please note that brokers and custodians may no longer vote on the election of directors in the absence of specific client instruction. Those who hold shares in such accounts are encouraged to provide voting instructions to the broker or custodian.
If any nominee is unable to act as director because of an unexpected occurrence, the proxy holders may vote the proxies for another person or the Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors to be elected.
Items 2, 3 and 4:
To be approved, Items 2, 3 and 4 must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against each item. Broker nonvotes do not affect the voting calculations.
Proxies signed, dated and returned unmarked will be voted FOR all Director Nominees listed in Item 1, FOR Items 2 and 3 and AGAINST Item 4.

The Board of Directors has determined that the following persons served as independent directors in 2013 as defined by NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2): Alison J. Carnwath, John M. Fluke, Jr., Kirk S. Hachigian, Luiz Kaufmann, Roderick C. McGeary, Mark A. Schulz, Gregory M. E. Spierkel, Warren R. Staley and Charles R. Williamson.
The Board of Directors maintains a corporate governance section on the Companys website, which includes key information about its governance practices. The Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines, its Board committee charters and its Code of Business Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are located at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/boardofdirectors.asp.
The Board of Directors approved a change to the Company bylaws, effective April 27, 2014, to allow the role of chairman of the board and chief executive officer to be held by different persons. Effective April 27, 2014, the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, M. C. Pigott, will assume the position of Executive Chairman of the Board and R. E. Armstrong will become Chief Executive Officer.
The Company has policies to ensure a strong and independent board. The Board regularly meets in executive session without management. W. R. Staley served as lead director in 2013. C. R. Williamson was elected as lead director when Mr. Staley retired on January 13, 2014. Eighty percent of the Companys ten current directors are independent as defined under NASDAQ regulations.
The Board believes this leadership structure is appropriate because it effectively allocates authority, responsibility and oversight between management, the Chairman and the independent members of the Board. The leadership structure, in which the roles of Chairman and CEO are separate, together with an experienced and engaged lead director and independent key committees, will be effective and is the optimal structure for the Company and stockholders at this time.
The Board oversees risk through management presentations at Board meetings and through its Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees. The Audit Committee charter provides that the Committee shall discuss with management the Companys risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. As part of this process, the Committee receives periodic reports from the Companys internal auditor and from its general counsel and the committee reports to the full Board at least twice a year. The Compensation Committee oversees risk arising from the Companys compensation programs and annually reviews how those programs manage and mitigate risk. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees potential risks regarding governance by monitoring legal developments and trends.
Stockholders may contact the Board of Directors by writing to: The Board of Directors, PACCAR Inc, 11th Floor, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, WA 98009, or by e-mailing PACCAR.Board@paccar.com. The Corporate Secretary will receive, process and acknowledge receipt of all written stockholder communications. Suggestions or concerns involving accounting, internal controls or auditing matters will be directed to the Audit Committee chairman. Concerns regarding other matters will be directed to the individual director or committee named in the correspondence. If no identification is made, the matter will be directed to the Executive Committee of the Board.
The Board of Directors met four times during 2013. Each member attended at least 75 percent of the combined total of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board on which each served. All Company directors are expected to attend each annual stockholder meeting. All directors attended the annual stockholder meeting in April 2013.

Audit Committee
The Audit Committee has responsibility for the selection, evaluation and compensation of the independent auditors and approval of all services they provide. The Committee reviews the Companys annual and quarterly financial statements, monitors the integrity and effectiveness of the audit process and reviews the corporate compliance programs. It monitors the Companys system of internal controls over financial reporting and oversees the internal audit function.
The Audit Committee charter describes the Committees responsibilities. It is posted at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/auditcommittee.asp. All four members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and financial literacy requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ rules. The Board of Directors designated committee chairman J. M. Fluke, Jr. as Audit Committee financial expert. The Committee met six times in 2013.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee has responsibility for reviewing and approving salaries and other compensation matters for executive officers. It administers the Long Term Incentive Plan, the Senior Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Committee establishes base salaries and annual and long-term performance goals for executive officers. It considers the opinion of the CEO when determining compensation for the executives that report to him. It also evaluates the CEOs performance annually in executive session. It approves the attainment of annual and long-term goals by the executive officers.
The Committee has authority to employ a compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of the compensation of the Companys CEO and other executive officers. In 2013, the Committee retained Mercer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh and McLennan Companies, to provide a market analysis of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. Mercer analyzed data from the Peer Companies and two industry surveys and reported its results to the Committee. Mercer was paid $29,500 for this project. Mercer and its affiliates were retained by Company management to provide insurance brokerage and human resource consulting services. The consultants providing these services were not the same consultants that advised the Compensation Committee. The aggregate fees paid for those other services in fiscal year 2013 were $157,498. The Committee did not review or approve the other services provided by Mercer and its affiliates to the Company, as those services were approved by management in the normal course of business. The Committee conducted an independence assessment and no conflict of interest was identified.
The Compensation Committee charter describes the Committees responsibilities. It is posted at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/compensationcommittee.asp. All four members of the Compensation Committee meet the director independence requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ rules and the outside director requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee met five times in 2013.

Nominating and Governance Committee
The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for evaluating director candidates and selecting nominees for approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors. It also makes recommendations to the Board on corporate governance matters including director compensation.
The Committee has established written criteria for the selection of new directors, which are available at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/boardguidelines.asp. The criteria state that a diversity of perspectives, skills and business experience relevant to the Companys global operations should be represented on the Board including international business, manufacturing, financial services and aftermarket customer programs. To be a qualified director candidate, a person must have achieved significant success in business, education or public service, must not have a conflict of interest and must be committed to representing the long-term interests of the stockholders. In addition, the candidate must have the following attributes:
| the highest ethical and moral standards and integrity; |
| the intelligence, education and experience to make a meaningful contribution to board deliberations; |
| the commitment, time and diligence to effectively discharge board responsibilities; |
| mature judgment, objectivity, practicality and a willingness to ask difficult questions; and |
| the commitment to work together as an effective group member to deliberate and reach consensus for the betterment of the stockholders and the long-term viability of the Company. |
The Committee considers the names of director candidates submitted by management and members of the Board of Directors. It also considers recommendations by stockholders submitted in writing to: Chairman, Nominating and Governance Committee, PACCAR Inc, 11th Floor, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, WA 98009.

If newly elected or retired during the calendar year, the non-employee director receives a prorated retainer. A single meeting attendance fee is paid when a board and committee meeting are held on the same day. L. Kaufmann and C. R. Williamson elected to defer retainer and meeting fees into stock units pursuant to the terms of the RSDC Plan described in the Narrative below. |
(b) | The grant date fair value of the restricted stock award granted on January 2, 2013, to non-employee directors was $100,014.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table
In addition to the cash compensation described in footnote (a) above, on the first business day of the year, each non-employee director receives $100,000 in restricted stock or restricted stock units under the Restricted Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. (RSDC Plan). The number of shares received is determined by dividing $100,000 by the closing price of a share of Company stock on the first business day of the year and rounding up to the nearest whole share. Non-employee directors newly elected during the calendar year receive a prorated award to reflect the number of calendar quarters the director will serve in the year of election. Restricted shares vest three years after the date of grant or upon retirement, death or disability. Directors receive dividends and voting rights on all shares during the vesting period. If non-employee directors elect to receive a credit to the stock unit account in lieu of a grant of restricted stock, the account is credited with the number of shares otherwise applicable to the grant of restricted stock and subject to the same vesting conditions. Those electing restricted stock units have no voting rights in the stock and dividends earned are treated as if they were reinvested at the closing price of Company stock on the date the dividend is payable. Vested amounts credited to the restricted stock unit account are distributed in shares of common stock.
Non-employee directors may elect to defer all or a part of their cash retainer and fees to an income account or to a stock unit account under the RSDC Plan. The income account accrues interest at a rate equal to the simple combined average of the monthly Aa Industrial Bond yield averages for the immediately preceding quarter and is compounded quarterly. Stock unit accounts are credited with the number of shares of Company common stock that could have been purchased at the closing price on the date the cash compensation is payable. Thereafter dividends earned are treated as if they were reinvested at the closing price of Company stock on the date the dividend is payable. The balances in a directors deferred accounts are paid out at or after retirement or termination in accordance with the directors deferred account election. The balance in the stock unit account is distributed in shares of the Companys common stock. The aggregate number of deferred stock units accumulated in the deferral account of participating non-employee directors is reflected in Footnote (b) to the Stock Ownership Table on page 4.
The Company provides transportation or reimburses non-employee directors for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services. It also pays or reimburses directors for expenses incurred to participate in continuing education programs related to their service as a PACCAR director.
Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors
All non-employee directors are expected to hold at least three times their annual cash retainer in Company stock and/or deferred stock units while serving as a director. Directors have three years from date of appointment to attain this ownership threshold. All non-employee directors with three or more years of service are in compliance as of January 1, 2014.
ITEM 2: | PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED PACCAR INC RESTRICTED STOCK AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS |
The Company recommends to the stockholders the approval of the Second Amended and Restated PACCAR Inc Restricted Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the Plan). The Plan was approved by the stockholders in 2004. The Plan was last amended and restated in December 2008.
The primary purpose of seeking stockholder approval of the Plan is to comply with NASDAQ Rule 5635 that requires the Plan to be approved by stockholders every ten years. The proposal does not seek to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan or materially amend the Plan provisions. In approving the Plan, the Company is requesting that the stockholders confirm the existing share reserve of the Plan including the 889,063 shares available for issuance of new awards as of December 31, 2013.
12
Stock Available for Grants. As of December 31, 2013, there are 889,063 shares of PACCAR common stock available for new awards of the 1,096,875 shares previously authorized for issuance under the Plan. The Plan reserves shares of PACCAR common stock for benefits under this Plan, which are authorized but unissued shares of stock or treasury shares. The number of shares granted shall be adjusted to prevent dilution in the event of a stock split, a stock dividend, or other event that increases or decreases the number or value of issued and outstanding shares.
Summary of Benefits. Each non-employee director receives a grant of restricted stock or restricted stock units (RSUs) annually in addition to their cash compensation. There are currently nine non-employee directors. The number of shares or units granted equals the number of shares of common stock that the Base Amount could have purchased at the Fair Market Value on the grant date (rounded up to the nearest whole share). The Base Amount is currently $100,000 per non-employee director. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may adjust the Base Amount for any grant date, provided that the adjusted Base Amount is established no later than the December 31 immediately prior to the grant date on which such Base Amount shall be effective. The grant date is defined as the first business day of each calendar year. Non-employee directors elected during the calendar year receive a prorated grant per the Plan formula. Plan participants have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted shares from the date of the grant, including the right to vote the shares and to receive cash dividends on those shares. Each grant is evidenced by a written Restricted Stock Grant Agreement.
Participants may elect to receive RSUs in lieu of restricted stock by making an election in December of the year prior to the grant. Those electing RSUs will not have voting rights in the stock and dividends earned will be treated as if those dividends had been invested in additional shares of common stock at the Fair Market Value on the date the dividend is payable. Vested amounts credited to the Restricted Stock Unit Account shall be distributed in shares of common stock either in a single payment or in substantially equal annual installments (over a period not to exceed 15 years), after termination of service as a director as specified by the non-employee director on the deferral election form. Any fractional shares will be paid in cash.
The restricted shares or RSUs cannot be sold or otherwise transferred for three years from the grant date. Shares that have not been held for the three-year holding period at the time the director terminates service with the Company are forfeited unless termination is due to retirement, disability, or death. In those circumstances restricted shares are not forfeited and immediately become unrestricted.
The Plan also allows non-employee directors to defer their cash compensation into an income account with interest at a variable rate or into a stock unit account representing the value of an equal number of shares of PACCAR stock that could have been purchased at the Fair Market Value on the date the non-employee directors cash compensation is payable. Stock units are credited with dividend equivalents in the same amount as dividends paid on PACCAR shares. Upon retirement or termination from the Board, the stock unit account will be distributed in shares of PACCAR stock. The director may elect to receive payment from the income or stock unit account in a single distribution or in installments over a period of up to 15 years.
New Plan Benefits. The number of shares of restricted stock and RSUs received in the future under the Plan by any participant is not determinable at this time. The following table sets forth the restricted stock and RSUs granted in 2013 per the Plan provisions.
Name and Position |
Dollar Value | Number of Restricted Shares or RSUs | ||
Non-Executive Director Group(10) |
$1,000,140 | 21,490 |
Plan Administration. The Plan is administered by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee has sole discretion to make all determinations necessary for Plan administration. Its decisions are binding.
13
Amendment or Termination. The Board of Directors or the Nominating and Governance Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Approval by the Companys stockholders shall be obtained only if required by law.
Change in Control. In the event of a change in control all restricted stock will become unrestricted. The Board of Directors may pay out the deferred accounts within 30 days from the date the change in control occurs.
Federal Tax Consequences. Grants of restricted stock are taxable to the non-employee director as ordinary income in the year the grant becomes unrestricted unless the director elects to be taxed in the year the stock is granted under IRS Section 83(b). Deferred accounts are taxable as ordinary income in the year received. The Company is entitled to receive a corresponding deduction for the year that monies are included in the non-employee directors taxable income.
Effective Date and Duration. This Plan is effective January 1, 2014 if approved by the stockholders of the Company at the 2014 Annual Meeting. It will remain in effect until April 29, 2024 unless the Plan is terminated earlier by the Committee or the Board of Directors. The text of the Plan is set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement.
The foregoing summary of its principal features does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by Appendix A.

| Incentive-based pay (Pay for Performance) represents approximately 78 percent of the Named Executive Officers target total compensation. |
| Net income is the key metric in the annual incentive compensation program. |
| The key metrics for long-term incentive cash awards are three-year growth in net income, return on sales and return on capital compared with Peer Companies. |
| Executive officer stock ownership guidelines align executives long-term goals with that of stockholders. |
| There are no employment contracts, excise tax gross ups or significant perquisites for executive officers. |
| The Company does not backdate, reprice or grant equity awards retroactively. |
15
Compensation Program Objectives and Structure
PACCARs compensation programs are directed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee), composed exclusively of independent directors. The programs are designed to attract and retain high-quality executives, link incentives to the Companys excellent performance and align the interests of management with those of stockholders. These programs offer compensation that is competitive with companies that operate in the same industries globally. PACCARs goal is to achieve superior performance measured against its industry peers. The Company has delivered 75 consecutive years of net income, paid annual dividends every year since 1941 and delivered excellent stockholder returns. The Company has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 index for the ten-year period ending December 31, 2013 by delivering an average annual total return to stockholders of 12.3 percent versus 7.4 percent for the S&P 500. The compensation framework has these components:
Short-term performance compensation:
| Salary. The fixed amount of compensation for performing day-to-day responsibilities. |
| Annual incentive cash compensation. Annual cash awards that focus on the attainment of Company yearly profitability and individual business unit goals. |
Long-term performance compensation:
| An equity- and cash-based Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) that focuses on long-term growth in stockholder value, including three-year performance versus industry peers as measured by growth in net income, return on sales and return on capital. The equity-based compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock. |
The Committee believes that this combination of salary, cash incentives and equity-based compensation provides appropriate incentives for executives to deliver superior short- and long-term business performance and stockholder returns.
The Named Executive Officers and all U.S. salaried employees participate in the Companys retirement programs. The U.S.-based Named Executive Officers also participate in the Companys unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan described on page 30, which provides a retirement benefit to those employees affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and other qualified plan benefit limitations.
The Company does not provide any other significant perquisites or executive benefits to its U.S.-based Named Executive Officers. Mr. Schippers, a Named Executive Officer based in the Netherlands, receives certain perquisites standard in Europe including a leased car and allowance for incidentals.
Stockholder Approval for the Companys Compensation Programs
In 2011, stockholders voted on an advisory basis to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers (known as a say on pay vote) as well as voting in favor of a triennial say on pay schedule. Over 95 percent of the shares voted were in favor of say on pay and over 60 percent of the shares voted were in favor of a triennial say on pay schedule. The Committee believes these stockholder votes affirm the Companys conservative approach to executive compensation. The 2014 stockholder say on pay vote is included in this proxy statement as Item 3.
Executive Compensation Criteria
The Committee considers a number of important factors when reviewing and determining executive compensation, including Company performance, business unit performance, individual performance and compensation for executives among peer organizations. The Committee also considers the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer when determining compensation for the executives that report to him.
16
Industry Compensation Comparison Groups. The Committee periodically utilizes information from published compensation surveys as well as compensation data from peer companies to determine if compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers is competitive with the market. The Committee believes that comparative compensation information should be used in its deliberations. It does not specify a target compensation level for any given executive but rather a range of target compensation. The Committee has discretion to determine the nature and extent to which it will use comparative compensation data.
Role of Compensation Consultants. The Committee periodically retains a compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Companys compensation programs. In 2013, the Committee retained Mercer, a subsidiary of Marsh and McLennan, to provide a market analysis of the compensation for the Named Executive Officers. In deciding to retain Mercer, the Committee considered the independence requirements as set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission rule on compensation advisor independence. Mercer analyzed data from the Peer Companies as well as a Mercer Survey Report of 983 companies and a Towers Watson Survey Report of 473 companies and provided the Committee with aggregated data from the two surveys. Mercer reported that the base salaries of the Named Executive Officers were near the market median but target annual and long-term incentive percentages were significantly below the market median for the U.S.-based Named Executive Officers. The Committee considered the Mercer findings in its decision to adjust the 2014 annual incentive compensation target award percentages as discussed on page 24.
Peer Companies. As part of its analysis of comparative data, the Committee includes compensation data from Peer Companies. In particular, the Company measures its financial performance against Peer Companies when evaluating achievement of the cash portion of the LTIP Company performance goal and applicable goals under the restricted stock share match program. The Committee reviews the composition of the Peer Companies annually to ensure the companies are appropriate for comparative purposes. The Peer Companies for the 2011-2013 and 2012-2014 LTIP cycles are listed below and on page 38 as the Current Peer Group Index and were approved as Peer Companies for the 2013-2015 LTIP cycle.

Elements of Total Compensation
The Companys executive compensation program is comprised of base salaries, annual incentive cash, and long-term incentives consisting of cash, stock options and restricted stock.
Compensation Mix. The Companys executive compensation program structure includes a balance of annual and long-term incentives, cash and Company equity. At higher levels of responsibility within the Company, the senior executives have a larger percentage of total compensation at risk based on Company long-term performance incentive programs. For 2013, the Committee approved target allocations as displayed below. The Company believes these allocations promote its objectives of profitable growth and superior long-term results which benefit stockholders.
Base Salary. Base salary provides a level of compensation that is competitive with industry peer companies to attract and retain high-caliber executives. The midpoints of the base salary ranges are set at approximately the market median of the 2011 Mercer report with the minimum salary at 70 percent of the midpoint and the maximum salary at 130 percent of the midpoint. An executive officers actual salary relative to this salary range reflects his or her responsibility, experience, tenure with the Company and individual performance.
The Committee reviews base salaries every 12 to 24 months and may or may not approve changes. Consistent with this practice, the Committee reviewed the salary of each Named Executive Officer in 2013. The Committee considered performance, the addition of new responsibilities and the midpoint in the Mercer 2011 report in its review of salaries. The Chief Executive Officer suggested salary revisions for the other Named Executive Officers. The Committee approved the salary percentage increase for 2013 as follows: R. J. Christensen, 4.2 percent; and H. C. Schippers, 16.1 percent. The Committee believes that the base salary of each Named Executive Officer is appropriate based on scope of responsibility, tenure with the Company, individual performance and competitive pay practices.
Annual Incentive Cash Compensation (IC). This program provides yearly cash incentives for the Named Executive Officers to achieve annual Company profit and business unit goals. The Committee sets annual performance goals and a threshold, target and maximum award for each Named Executive Officer, expressed as a percentage of base salary. 2013 awards are measured on a sliding scale as follows:
% of Goal Achieved |
<70 | % | 70 | % | 85 | % | 100 | % | 115 | % | 130 | % | 140 | % | and above | |||||||||||||||||||||
% of Target Paid |
0 | % | 40 | % | 70 | % | 100 | % | 130 | % | 160 | % | 200 | % |
A hallmark of the annual cash incentive program has been a consistent and rigorous focus on achieving the Companys annual net profit goal. The Committee has chosen net profit, not EBITDA or operating profit, as the chief financial metric for this program because it is the primary indicator of corporate performance to

stockholders. When setting incentive compensation goals for the Named Executive Officers, the Committee believes that corporate performance is an appropriate measure of individual performance. Accordingly, 100 percent of the goal for the Chief Executive Officer and a substantial portion of the 2013 goal for each of the Named Executive Officers is based upon Company net profit performance. The net profit goal is proposed by Company management and approved by the Committee before or within the first 90 days of each year. The target level represents an amount of net profit that the Committee determines is attainable with outstanding performance under expected economic conditions. The remaining goals for the other Named Executive Officers are based upon individual business unit or leadership criteria determined by the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee assesses annual goal achievement and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers.
IC Awards for the Named Executive Officers are subject to the terms of the Senior Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan (the IC Plan) approved by the stockholders as required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the Plan is $4,500,000. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award earned by the Named Executive Officers based on an assessment of individual performance.
For 2013, the Companys net profit target was $1.10 billion and actual net profit achieved was $1.17 billion. The Committee approved award payments of 113 percent of the target award, which corresponds with achievement of 106 percent of the net profit goal for each Named Executive Officer. The Committee approved an overall payment for R. E. Armstrong of 126 percent of target consisting of 109 percent achievement of his divisional profit goal and 180 percent for his leadership goal of growth initiatives in international markets. The Committee approved an overall payment for R. J. Christensen of 156 percent of target consisting of 200 percent achievement of the business leadership goal of construction of the DAF factory in Brasil and commencement of truck production. The Committee approved an overall payment for D. D. Sobic of 129 percent of target consisting of 110 percent achievement of the divisional profit goal and 168 percent achievement for the leadership goal related to achievement of record parts revenue. The Committee approved an overall payment for H. C. Schippers of 128 percent of target consisting of 109 percent achievement of the divisional profit goal and 180 percent achievement for his leadership in the launch of the DAF CF and LF Euro 6 vehicles. The Committee did not exercise discretion to make modifications to any award. The following table outlines the 2013 goals and incentive awards for each Named Executive Officer:

Long-Term Incentive Compensation (LTIP). The Companys long-term incentive program is based on a multi-year performance period and provides annual grants of stock options, restricted stock and cash incentive awards. The LTIP aligns the interests of stockholders with those of executives to focus on long-term growth in stockholder value. The 2013 target for each element of the long-term compensation program for each Named Executive Officer is calculated as a percentage of base salary as indicated in the table below:

Long-term incentive compensation cash award. This program focuses on long-term growth in stockholder value by providing an incentive for superior Company performance that is measured against Peer Companies performance over a three-year period. Company performance is measured by three-year growth in net income, return on sales and return on capital (weighted equally) as compared to the Peer Companies (Company Performance Goal). Named Executive Officers and all executive officers are eligible for a long-term incentive cash award based upon three-year performance goals approved by the Committee with a new performance period beginning every calendar year. For the 2013-2015 cycle, the Committee approved the following goals:

The Committee believes that three-year growth in net income, return on sales and return on capital are excellent indicators of the Companys performance against the Peer Companies. The Company has used this rigorous comparison goal for over 15 years. During that period the Company ranked above 50 percent of the Peer Companies in 12 of the 15 years demonstrating excellent performance against the Peer Companies and providing superior returns to stockholders. The target amount will be earned if the Companys financial performance ranks above at least half of the Peer Companies. The maximum cash award amount will be earned if the Companys financial performance ranks above all of the Peer Companies. No award will be earned if the Companys financial performance ranks in the bottom 25 percent of the Peer Companies.
The remaining portion of the award for certain of the Named Executive Officers is based upon individual business unit and leadership goals determined by the Chief Executive Officer similar to those described above for
20
the annual incentive cash plan, measured over a three-year performance cycle. The Committee assesses goal achievement for the prior three-year period in April following completion of the applicable cycle and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers at such time. Long-term incentive cash awards are measured on a sliding scale as indicated below:
% of Goal Achieved |
<75 | % | 75 | % | 100 | % | 125 | % | 150 | % and above | ||||||||||||
% of Target Paid |
0 | % | 50 | % | 100 | % | 150 | % | 200 | % |
In April 2013, the Committee determined cash awards for the three-year period 2010-2012 ending December 31, 2012. For the 2010-2012 LTIP cycle, the Company ranked tenth among the twelve Peer Companies and none of the Named Executive Officers earned an award on the Company Performance Goal. The cash award for M. C. Pigott was based 100 percent on the Company Performance Goal. The Committee approved an overall cash award of 0% due to the Company being below the 75 percent target level.
The other Named Executive Officers had goals in addition to the Company Performance Goal. The award for R. E. Armstrong was based 25 percent on business unit profit and 25 percent on business unit growth and performance. The Committee determined that R. E. Armstrong exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 73.2 percent of target. The award for R. J. Christensen was based 25 percent on business unit profit and 25 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that R. J. Christensen exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 90 percent of target. The award for D. D. Sobic was based 25 percent on business unit profit and 25 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that D. D. Sobic exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 87.6 percent of target. The award for H. C. Schippers was based 50 percent on business unit profit and 20 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that Mr. Schippers did not meet the profit goal but exceeded his leadership goal and it approved an overall payout of 66.3 percent of target. The Committee did not exercise discretion to modify any awards. The long-term cash awards for the 2011-2013 LTIP cycle have not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement because Peer Group comparison data was not available.
The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under this program is $6,500,000. The award is also subject to the conditions of payment set forth in the Long Term Incentive Plan, as required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award earned by the Named Executive Officers based on an assessment of individual performance.
Stock options. The Committee includes stock options in its compensation program because stock options link the interests of executives directly with stockholders interests through increased individual stock ownership. Stock options are granted by the Committee once each year on a predetermined date after the fourth-quarter earnings release and are not repriced. The number of options is determined by multiplying the executives base salary on the grant date by a target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Companys stock on the first five trading days of the year. The exercise price of stock options is the closing price of the Companys stock on the date of grant. Options become exercisable at the end of a three-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant. A participant who elects early retirement under a Company retirement plan has 12 months from retirement to exercise vested options. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of a change in control.
The Compensation Committee granted stock options on February 6, 2013 in accordance with the target award percentages listed on page 20. All stock options granted in 2013 vest and become exercisable on January 1, 2016, and remain exercisable until February 5, 2023 unless the participants employment terminates earlier for reasons other than retirement, or the participant is demoted to an ineligible position.
Annual restricted stock program. Performance-based restricted stock is included in the program because it provides an opportunity for executives to earn Company equity with performance-based compensation deductible
21
under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee sets a Company performance goal during the first 90 days of the year and restricted stock grants are made in the following year if the Committee determines that the performance goal is achieved. The number of restricted shares is determined by multiplying the executives base salary by the target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Companys stock on the first five trading days of the year. The restricted shares are valued at the closing price of the Companys stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock vests 25 percent on the first day of the month following the grant and an additional 25 percent on each succeeding first of January. Unvested shares are forfeited upon termination unless termination is by reason of death, disability or retirement. All shares vest immediately upon a change in control. Each Named Executive Officer has the same rights as all other stockholders to vote the shares and receive cash dividends.
On February 7, 2014, the Committee determined that the 2013 performance goal of four percent return on revenue was achieved and approved restricted stock consistent with the target award percentages listed on page 20. The restricted stock granted on February 6, 2013 for 2012 performance is included on page 27.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
The Committee applies the same compensation philosophy, policies and comparative data analysis to the Chief Executive Officer as it applies to the other Named Executive Officers. The Chief Executive Officer is the only officer with overall responsibility for all corporate functions and, as a result, has a greater percentage of his total compensation based on the overall financial performance of the Company. During the 17-year leadership of M. C. Pigott (January 1, 1997-December 31, 2013) the Company stock returned 1,479 percent to stockholders and provided an average annual total return of 17.6 percent versus the S&P 500 average annual total return of 7.5 percent. In 2013, the Company achieved record share in many markets and significantly expanded its business worldwide. The Company constructed and opened a new DAF truck factory in Brasil, designed and launched new Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF truck ranges and a new family of engines, and has growing business in China and India. The Committee reviewed the Chief Executive Officers base salary in 2013 and made no changes. R. E. Armstrong has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer effective April 27, 2014 with a salary of $1.1 million and Mr. M. C. Pigott will become Executive Chairman with a salary of $500,000.
The Company has a share match program that enables the Chief Executive Officer to purchase Company stock either by exercising stock options or through open market purchases. He may receive a matching award of restricted stock if rigorous performance goals are met. The program provides for a maximum of 562,500 restricted shares and an annual limit of 150,000 shares. Restricted match shares vest after five years if the Committee certifies that the Companys earnings per share growth over the same five-year period meets or exceeds at least 50 percent of the Peer Companies. The Chief Executive Officer has the same rights as all other stockholders to vote the shares and receive cash dividends. With certain exceptions, all restricted match shares will be forfeited if the performance threshold is not achieved or if the Chief Executive Officer terminates employment with the Company during the vesting period. If the purchased shares are sold during the vesting period, an equal number of restricted match shares will be forfeited. In April 2013, the Committee determined that the Company did not meet or exceed the Peer Company performance goal for the five-year period 2008-2012 and 150,000 restricted matching shares previously granted to M. C. Pigott were forfeited. No matching shares were granted under this program in 2013.
Deferral of Annual and Long-Term Performance Awards
The Committee administers a Deferred Compensation Plan described on page 31 which allows eligible employees to defer cash incentive awards into an income account or a stock unit account. Both accounts are unfunded and unsecured. This program provides tax and retirement planning benefits to participants and market-based returns on amounts deferred. Certain deferrals are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Payouts from the income account are made in cash either in a lump sum or in a maximum of 15 annual installments in
22
accordance with the executives payment election. Stock unit accounts are paid out in Company stock either in a one-time distribution or in a maximum of 15 annual installments. Participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan is voluntary.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Companys executive officers are required to meet stock ownership guidelines that reflect alignment of senior executives long-term goals with that of the Company stockholders. The minimum number of shares of company stock and deferred stock units expected to be held by each category of executive officer is as follows: the Chief Executive Officer five times base salary; other Named Executive Officers three times base salary; and other executive officers one times base salary. Company Executive Officers have three years from the January first after the Executive first holds the qualifying position to attain the stock ownership target. The Committee reviews compliance with the guidelines each year.
Effect of Post-Termination Events
The Company has no written employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer or with any Named Executive Officer. Executive compensation programs provide full benefits only if a Named Executive Officer remains with the Company until normal retirement at age 65. In general, upon a termination without cause a Named Executive Officer retains vested benefits but receives no enhancements or severance. In a termination for cause, the executive forfeits all benefits except those provided under a qualified pension plan. Long-term cash incentives are prorated upon retirement at age 65 or death and are awarded at the maximum level upon a change in control. The annual restricted stock grants become fully vested at retirement, death or a change in control. The Company believes that the benefits described in this section help it attract and retain its executive officers by providing financial security in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. The fact that the Company provides these benefits does not materially affect other decisions that the Company makes regarding compensation. The Company maintains a separation pay plan for all U.S. salaried employees that provides a single payment of up to six months of base salary in the event of job elimination in a business restructuring or reduction in the workforce. The U.S. based Named Executive Officers are eligible for the benefit on the same terms as any other eligible U.S. salaried employee.
Effect of Accounting or Tax Treatment
Company policy is to structure compensation arrangements that preserve tax deductions for executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Cash awards paid to Named Executive Officers under the IC Plan and under the LTIP are subject to certain conditions of payment intended to preserve deductibility imposed under Section 162(m). The Committee establishes a yearly funding plan limit equal to a percentage of the Companys net income and assigns each Named Executive Officer a percentage of each fund. In 2013 the funding limit for the Named Executive Officers under the IC Plan equaled three percent of the Companys net income and the limit for the LTIP equaled one percent of the Companys cumulative net income for the 2013-2015 performance cycle. The Committee can exercise discretion to reduce or eliminate any award earned by the Named Executive Officers based on an assessment of individual performance against preapproved goals. The cash incentive awards to the Named Executive Officers under both plans are subject to the pre-established funding and plan limits even if some or all of the executives performance goals have been exceeded. The Committee retains the flexibility to pay compensation that is not fully deductible within the limitations of Section 162(m) if it determines that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders in order to attract, retain and reward outstanding executives. The Company offers compensation programs that are intended to be tax efficient for the Company and for the executive officers.
Changes for 2014
The Board of Directors promoted R. E. Armstrong to Chief Executive Officer and named M. C. Pigott as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective April 27, 2014. Mr. Armstrong was also elected to the
23
PACCAR Board of Directors effective April 27, 2014. He is currently President of PACCAR and succeeds M. C. Pigott who has served as the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman since 1997. The Board of Directors also elected R. J. Christensen as President and Chief Financial Officer, effective April 27, 2014 with a salary of $730,000. Mr. Christensen is currently Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Effective January 1, 2014, the annual incentive compensation target award percentages are as follows:
Named Executive Officer |
2013 Target % of Base Salary |
2014 Target % of Base Salary | ||
M. C. Pigott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |
110 | 125 | ||
R. E. Armstrong, President |
75 | 95 | ||
R. J. Christensen, Executive Vice President and CFO |
70 | 90 | ||
D. D. Sobic, Executive Vice President |
65 | 80 | ||
H. C. Schippers, Vice President |
55 | 65 |
The Committee also modified certain LTIP benefits for executives who retire after January 1, 2014 at or after age 62 and before age 65 with 15 years of Company service (Eligible Executives). None of the Companys executive officers are currently eligible for these benefits due to age and/or service thresholds.
| LTIP cash awards will be prorated based on the number of months the Eligible Executive worked during the three-year performance cycle. The cash award, if any, shall be payable following the end of the calendar year in which the performance period ends. Previously, Eligible Executives did not qualify for LTIP cash awards for incomplete cycles. The change compensates Eligible Executives for their achievements during the cycle. |
| Stock options outstanding and exercisable on the retirement date may be exercised at any time within ten years from the date of grant. Previously, Eligible Executives had one year to exercise vested options. The change enables executives a longer term to exercise options earned during their career. |
| Stock option agreements, effective with the 2014-2016 LTIP cycle, will include a provision that an Eligible Executive who retires will receive a prorated portion of the stock option grant based upon the number of months worked during the three-year performance cycle. The prorated portion will vest upon retirement and the remaining unvested options granted will be forfeited. Previously, Eligible Executives forfeited stock options not vested on their retirement date. |
Conclusion
The Companys compensation programs are designed and administered in a manner consistent with its conservative executive compensation philosophy and guiding principles. The programs emphasize the retention of key executives and appropriate rewards for excellent results. The Committee monitors these programs in recognition of the dynamic marketplace in which the Company competes for talent. The Company will continue to emphasize pay-for-performance and equity-based incentive programs that compensate executives for results that are consistent with generating outstanding performance for its stockholders.

The Companys U.S. qualified noncontributory retirement plan has been in effect since 1947. The U.S.-based Named Executive Officers participate in this plan on the same basis as other U.S. salaried employees. Employees are eligible to become a member in the plan after completion of 12 months of employment with at least 1,000 hours of service. The plan provides benefits based on years of service and salary. Participants are vested in their retirement benefits after five years of service. Depending on executive recruitment considerations, additional years of service may be offered to new executives.
The benefit for each year of service, up to a maximum of 35 years, is equal to one percent of the highest average salary plus 0.5 percent of highest average salary in excess of the Social-Security-covered compensation level. Highest average salary is defined as the average of the highest 60 consecutive months of an employees cash compensation, which includes base salary and annual incentive cash compensation, but it excludes compensation under the LTIP. The benefits are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts. Benefits from the plan are paid as a monthly single-life annuity or, if married, actuarially-equivalent 50 percent, 75 percent or 100 percent joint and survivor annuity options are also available. Survivor benefits based on the 50 percent joint and survivor option will be paid to an eligible spouse if the employee is a vested member in the plan and dies before retirement.
The Companys unfunded U.S. Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP) provides a retirement benefit to those affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and to those deferring incentive compensation bonuses. The benefit is equal to the amount of normal pension benefit reduction resulting from the application of maximum benefit and salary limitations and the exclusion of deferred incentive compensation bonuses from the retirement plan benefit formula. Benefits from the plan are paid as a lifetime monthly annuity or a single lump-sum distribution at the executives election and will be made at the later of: (1) termination of employment or (2) the date the participant attains age 55. If the participant dies before the supplemental benefit commencement date, the participants surviving spouse will be eligible to receive a survivor pension for the amount by which the total survivor pension benefit exceeds the surviving spouses retirement plan benefit. Executives terminated for cause, as defined in the Plan, forfeit all SRP benefits.
Normal retirement age under both plans is 65, and participants may retire early between ages 55 and 65 if they have 15 years of service. For retirement at ages 55 through 61 with 15 years of service, pension benefits are reduced four percent per year from age 65. For retirement at or after age 62 with 15 years of service, there is no reduction in retirement benefits. As of December 31, 2013, M. C. Pigott, R. E. Armstrong, R. J. Christensen and D. D. Sobic are eligible for a reduced early retirement benefit.

H. C. Schippers participates in the Companys pension program in the Netherlands on the same basis as other DAF Eindhoven employees. DAF participates in the Metal and Electrical Engineering Industry Pension Fund (the Fund), a multi-employer defined benefit plan covering employees of the countrys metal industry. The benefit is based on a percent of the career average salary up to the annually indexed salary maximum multiplied by years of service up to age 65. In 2013, the percentage of salary was 1.98 percent and the yearly indexed maximum salary was $95,056. Survivor benefits include a pension up to 70 percent of the participants benefit and a 14 percent pension for surviving children to age 18 or 27 if they are in school. Participants contribute 50 percent of the premiums and are vested from date of hire. Normal retirement benefits begin at age 65 and participants may retire early at or after age 55 with reduced benefits. Mr. Schippers, age 51, is not eligible for benefits due to the age threshold.
The Pension Plan table shows the present value of the accrued retirement benefits for the U.S.-based Named Executive Officers under the Companys retirement plan and Supplemental Retirement Plan based on highest average salary and service as of December 31, 2013, and the present value of H. C. Schippers accrued benefits under the Fund. Present value calculations for each Named Executive Officer assumed that each remains employed until age 62, if eligible for unreduced benefits, or age 65 if not. Additional assumptions include a 2013 discount rate of 4.8 percent and a 2012 discount rate of 3.9 percent and the mortality assumptions of the RP-2000 Male Annuitant Mortality Table projected seven years from valuation date.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The following table provides information about the deferred compensation accounts of the Named Executive Officers as of December 31, 2013. Amounts deferred reflect cash awards payable in prior years but voluntarily deferred by the executive.

(a) | To the extent required to be reported, all cash awards were reported as compensation to the Named Executive Officer in the Summary Compensation Table for previous years. |
The Companys Deferred Compensation Plan provides all eligible employees, including the Named Executive Officers, an opportunity to voluntarily defer all or part of the cash awards earned and payable under the LTIP and the IC Plan. The Company makes no contributions to the Plan. Accounts are credited with interest or dividend equivalents as described below.
A portion of the amount in the 2013 Aggregate Earnings column is reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the Named Executive Officers as follows: M. C. Pigott $2,130, R. E. Armstrong $0; R. J. Christensen $5,045; D. D. Sobic $0; H. C. Schippers $0.
Certain of the Named Executive Officers have elected to defer into an income account, a stock unit account or any combination of each. Deferral elections were made in the year before the award was payable. Cash awards were credited to the income account on the date the award was payable and interest is compounded monthly on the account balance based on the simple combined average of monthly Aa Industrial Bond Yield for the month
31
that is two months preceding the payable date. The Named Executive Officer may elect to be paid out the balance in the income account in a lump sum or in up to 15 substantially equal annual installments. Cash awards credited to the stock unit account are based on the closing price of a share of the Companys common stock on the date the cash award is payable. Dividend equivalents are credited to the stock unit account based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date the dividend is paid to stockholders. The stock unit account is paid out in Company stock either in a one-time distribution or in a maximum of 15 annual installments.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The Named Executive Officers do not have severance or change in control agreements with the Company. The information below describes certain compensation that would become payable under existing plans if each Named Executive Officers employment terminated or a change in control occurred on December 31, 2013. These payments do not include deferred compensation balances and the present value of accumulated Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits reported in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation and Pension Benefits tables.

Termination for Cause. If a Named Executive Officer had been terminated for cause, as defined in the Companys LTIP, all unpaid cash incentives under the IC Plan and the LTIP, stock options (vested and unvested), restricted stock, deferred compensation balances and accrued Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits would have been immediately forfeited.
Resignation or Termination Without Cause. If a Named Executive Officer had resigned or been terminated without cause, all unpaid incentives under the IC Plan and the LTIP, unvested stock options and restricted stock would have been immediately forfeited. Vested stock options would remain exercisable for one month from the date of termination.
Deferred compensation balances, as described in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table, would be paid in a lump sum or in installments according to the payment election filed by the Named Executive Officer. The Named Executive Officer may elect to have such payments made or commence in any January that is at least 12 months from the date of such payment election, but no later than the first January following the year in which the executive attains age 70-1/2.
32
Accrued Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits described under the Pension Benefits Table would be paid in a form previously elected by the Named Executive Officer. M. C. Pigott and R. E. Armstrong would receive single lump-sum cash payments. D. D. Sobic and R. J. Christensen would receive monthly annuities payable for life. If termination occurred on December 31, 2013, these payments would be made or would commence in accordance with the terms of the Plan on January 1, 2014, for M. C. Pigott, R. E. Armstrong, D. D. Sobic and R. J. Christensen.
Retirement. All U.S.-based Named Executive Officers were eligible for early retirement benefits. H. C. Schippers was not eligible for retirement due to the age threshold. Deferred compensation balances and accumulated Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits would have been payable for the Named Executive Officers as described above under Resignation or Termination Without Cause. Annual incentive compensation earned in 2013 would have been paid in the first quarter of 2014 and long-term incentive cash awards earned under the 2011-2013 performance cycle would be paid in April 2014 based on actual performance against goals. The long-term performance awards in the table reflect target awards. Unvested stock options would have been immediately forfeited and vested stock options would have remained exercisable for 12 months following the date of retirement. All outstanding annual restricted stock for the Named Executive Officers under age 62 would continue to vest according to the vesting schedule until age 62 when they would vest in full. The amount listed for restricted stock in the table reflects continued service vesting of unvested shares at the fair market value on December 31, 2013.
Death. In the event of death on December 31, 2013, beneficiaries of the Named Executive Officers would have been entitled to receive all of the benefits that would have been paid to a Named Executive Officer who had retired on that date as described above, with the following exceptions:
Long-term incentive cash awards earned under the 2012-2014 LTIP performance cycle and the 2013-2015 LTIP performance cycle would have been paid on a prorated basis (2/3 and 1/3, respectively) following completion of the cycle, based on actual performance against goals. All outstanding annual restricted stock would vest immediately.
Change in control. Benefits payable in the event of a change in control on December 31, 2013, are the same as benefits payable in the event of death on the same date (as described above) with the following exceptions:
Named Executive Officers employed on December 31, 2013, would have been entitled to a maximum IC award for 2013 (200 percent of target), a maximum long-term incentive cash award under the 2011-2013 performance cycle of the LTIP and a maximum prorated award under the 2012-2014 and the 2013-2015 performance cycles based on the number of full or partial months completed in the performance cycle. The maximum payment amounts are shown in the table above and would have been paid in a lump sum immediately following the change in control. All restricted stock would vest immediately.
Deferred compensation balances would have been paid as a single lump sum in cash from the income account and whole shares of the Companys common stock from the stock account immediately following the change in control.
In addition, in the event of a change in control, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has the discretionary authority to provide the following additional benefits:
| Immediate vesting of all unvested stock options. The value of unvested options that could have been immediately vested upon a change in control on December 31, 2013, for each Named Executive Officer was: M. C. Pigott $4,175,803; R. E. Armstrong $1,550,373; R. J. Christensen $1,156,237; D. D. Sobic $1,084,282; H. C. Schippers $463,950. |
| Increased Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefits. If the Committee chooses to terminate the Supplemental Retirement Plan upon a change in control, the value of accrued benefits under the plan |
33
would be paid in a single lump sum immediately following the change in control. The additional Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits that would have been paid had the plan been terminated following a change in control on December 31, 2013, are as follows: M. C. Pigott $5,216,508; R. E. Armstrong $955,132; R. J. Christensen $1,364,884; D. D. Sobic $787,192. For purposes of calculating the value of the benefit to be paid upon such a plan termination, the normal actuarial factors and assumptions used to determine Actuarial Equivalent under the qualified retirement plan will be used with the exception of the interest rate, which will be zero percent. |
ITEM 3: | ADVISORY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY ON PAY) |
In 2011, PACCAR stockholders voted to approve a three-year cycle review of executive compensation. In 2014, PACCAR stockholders have an opportunity to vote on an advisory basis to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as required by section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78n-1) (known as a say on pay vote).

Votes cast for advisory resolution to approve the compensation of PACCARs Named Executive Officers (say on pay) |
97.3 | % |
In 2013, the Company reported record revenue and earned the third highest net income in its history. The Company has delivered 75 consecutive years of net income, paid annual dividends every year since 1941 and delivered average annual total return to stockholders over the past ten calendar years of 12.3 percent versus 7.4 percent for the S&P 500.
Key 2013 Financial Results and Business Highlights:
| Record revenue of $17.1 billion |
| $1.17 billion in net income the third best in Company history |
| Record stockholder equity of $6.6 billion |
| 34.9 percent total return to stockholders in 2013 |
| Dividends increased by 8 percent compared to 2012 |
| New DAF truck assembly plant opened in Ponta Grossa, Brasil |
| New Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF trucks launched |
| Record PACCAR Financial pre-tax income |
| Record PACCAR Parts revenue |
The Companys executive compensation program provides excellent incentives for executives to deliver superior short- and long-term business performance and stockholder returns. The Board of Directors recommends an advisory vote to APPROVE the compensation of the Named Executive Officers.
The Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) beginning on page 15 of this Proxy Statement describes in detail the Companys 2013 executive compensation program and the decisions made by the Compensation Committee. Highlights of the CD&A include the following:
| Incentive-based pay (Pay for Performance) represents approximately 78 percent of the Named Executive Officers target total compensation, with approximately 60 percent related to long term incentives and 18 percent related to achievement of challenging annual performance goals. |
34
| The Named Executive Officers earn long-term equity awards in the form of restricted stock and stock options subject to multiple-year vesting requirements. The Company believes these awards ensure that a significant portion of the executives compensation reflects long-term growth in stockholder value. |
| Executive officer stock ownership guidelines align executives long-term goals with that of stockholders. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer owns PACCAR stock greater than five times his base salary. |
| None of the Named Executive Officers has an employment agreement or severance arrangement. |
The Company RECOMMENDS stockholders approve the following resolution:
RESOLVED, THAT THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANYS NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO ITEM 402 OF REGULATION S-K INCLUDING THE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, COMPENSATION TABLES AND NARRATIVE DISCUSSION, IS HEREBY APPROVED.
This advisory vote is an excellent method for stockholders to provide input on the Companys executive compensation program. Although the vote is not binding on the Company, the Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions expressed by stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when evaluating future executive compensation decisions. The next advisory vote on executive compensation is scheduled for 2017.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR ITEM 3.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report:
The Audit Committee is comprised of four members, each of whom meets the independence and financial literacy requirements of SEC and NASDAQ rules. It adopted a written charter outlining its responsibilities that was approved by the Board of Directors. A current copy of the Audit Committees charter is posted at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/auditcommittee.asp. The Board of Directors designated J. M. Fluke, Jr., as Audit Committee financial expert.
Among the Committees responsibilities are the selection and evaluation of the independent auditors and the review of the financial statements. The Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year with management. In addition, the Committee discussed under SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU §380) all matters required to be discussed with the independent auditors Ernst & Young LLP. The Committee received from Ernst & Young LLP the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountants communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with them their independence. Based on the Audit Committees review of the audited financial statements and its discussions with management and the independent auditors, the Committee recommends to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The audit services engagement terms and fees and any changes to them require Audit Committee preapproval. The Committee has also preapproved the use of Ernst & Young for specific categories of non-audit, audit-related and tax services up to a specific annual limit. Any proposed services exceeding preapproved limits require specific Audit Committee preapproval. The Companys complete preapproval policy was attached to the Companys 2004 proxy statement as Appendix E.

STOCKHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following line graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on the Companys common stock, to the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poors Composite 500 Stock Index and the return of the industry peer group of companies identified in the graph (the Peer Group Index) for the last five fiscal years ended December 31, 2013. Standard & Poors has calculated a return for each company in the Peer Group Index weighted according to its respective capitalization at the beginning of each period with dividends reinvested on a monthly basis. Management believes that the identified companies and methodology used in the graph for the peer group indices provides a better comparison than other indices available. The Peer Group Index consists of AGCO Corporation, Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., Dana Holding Corporation, Deere & Company, Eaton Corporation, Meritor Inc., Navistar International Corporation, Oshkosh Corporation, Scania AB and AB Volvo. The comparison assumes that $100 was invested December 31, 2008, in the Companys common stock and in the stated indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends.

The Company has been advised that one stockholder intends to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting. The Company will furnish the name, address and number of shares held by the proponent upon receipt of a request for such information to the Secretary.
In accordance with the proxy regulations, the following is the complete text of the proposal exactly as submitted. The stockholder proposal includes some assertions the Company believes are incorrect. The Company has not addressed all of these inaccuracies. The Company accepts no responsibility for the proposal.
ITEM 4: | STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING SUPERMAJORITY VOTE PROVISIONS |
RESOLVED, Shareholders request that our board take the steps necessary so that each voting requirement in our charter and bylaws that calls for a greater than simple majority vote be eliminated, and replaced by a requirement for a majority of the votes cast for and against applicable proposals, or a simple majority in compliance with applicable laws. If necessary this means the closest standard to a majority of the votes cast for and against such proposals consistent with applicable laws.
This proposal topic won from 74% to 88% support at Weyerhaeuser, Alcoa, Waste Management, Goldman Sachs, FirstEnergy, McGraw-Hill and Macys. The proponents of these proposals included Ray T. Chevedden and William Steiner. Currently a 1%-minority can frustrate the will of our 66%-shareholder majority.
This proposal should also be more favorably evaluated due to our companys shortcomings in its corporate governance as reported in 2013:
GMI Ratings, an independent investment research firm, gave PCAR an F in accounting. There were forensic accounting ratios related to revenue recognition that had extreme values. Our company had come under investigation, or had been subject to fine, settlement or conviction for issues related to its accounting practices. There was not one non-executive member of our audit committee who had substantial industry knowledge. There was not one non-executive member of our board who had general expertise in risk management.
PCAR was rated as having Aggressive Accounting & Governance Risk. This indicated higher accounting and governance risk than 87% of companies. PCAR had higher shareholder class action litigation risk than 84% of all rated companies.
Shareholders did not have the advantage of an independent board chairman, could not vote on each director annually, could not act by written consent or call a special meeting and could not utilize cumulative voting. The 2013 shareholder proposal for annual election of each director won 50.3%-support in spite of opposition from the substantial holdings of the founding family.
Roderick McGeary was negatively flagged because he was on the BearingPoint board which filed for bankruptcy. John Fluke had 29-years tenure (negatively related to independence), received our highest negative votes and yet had seats on 3 of our board committees. There were only 4 full board meetings in a year.
The CEO pension was excessive. Mark Pigott was credited with 33-years of service towards his pension. PCAR had not incorporated links to environmental or social performance in its current executive pay policies. There was no clawback policy to recoup unearned executive pay based on fraud or error.
Our company had not adopted alternative energy practices to lower its future environmental impacts. Our board did not have formal responsibility for strategic oversight of our companys environmental practices. Our company was not a UN Global Compact signatory and did not disclose its workplace safety record in its annual report.
39
Returning to the core topic of this proposal from the context of our clearly improvable corporate climate, please vote to protect shareholder value:
Simple Majority Vote - Proposal 4
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 4 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
PACCAR is committed to corporate governance policies and practices that enhance stockholder returns. Its conservative policies ensure that the Company is governed in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and in the best interest of its stockholders. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors believes that the supermajority voting requirements are reasonable and appropriate for significant matters that affect the Company.
The Companys governance practices and strong financial performance have delivered outstanding long-term results to stockholders.
The Company has delivered an average annual return to stockholders of 12.3 percent versus 7.4 percent for the S&P 500 percent return in the past decade ending December 31, 2013. The Company is one of only 55 companies in the S&P 500 Index that has an S&P credit rating of A+ or better. The Companys governance structure positions the Company for profitable long-term growth, which benefits its stockholders.
Supermajority voting requirements have been adopted by many leading companies.
Many publicly traded S&P 500 companies have supermajority provisions including Eaton and United Technologies as well as Google, Nike, Walt Disney and many others. These companies recognize the benefits that result from this positive governance structure.
Company stockholders have repeatedly rejected proposals to eliminate supermajority provisions.
PACCAR stockholders approved the supermajority provisions in 1986 by a vote of 78 percent of the outstanding shares. In 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, Company stockholders rejected proposals to eliminate the supermajority provisions. The Board of Directors believe that the existing two-thirds voting requirement is reasonable and appropriate to maximize value for all stockholders.
PACCAR has an excellent record in stockholder returns, environmental leadership and governance compliance.
The proponent, John Chevedden, reports that he owns 100 shares of PACCAR, and provides no reason why PACCARs excellent long-term performance would be enhanced by eliminating its supermajority vote provisions. The following is the Companys response to some of the proponents incorrect and/or irrelevant statements.
| Stockholders have shown strong support for the Companys directors. Each director received over 90 percent of the votes cast for election in each of the past 20 years. |
| Stockholders have repeatedly rejected the annual election of directors. In 2013 the proposal to declassify the board failed to receive a majority of the votes present and entitled to vote at the meeting. |
| Mr. Pigotts pension credit reflects his 34 years of Company service. During his 17-year tenure as chief executive officer the Company achieved a stockholder return of 1,479 percent and an annualized return of 17.6 percent. |
| The Company has a strong program of environmental innovation. It is the leader in alternative fuel commercial vehicles with over 40 percent U.S. market share in hybrid and natural gas vehicles. |
40
The Companys supermajority voting provisions ensure that a broad consensus of stockholders agree on significant corporate changes.
Under the Companys existing governance documents, a simple majority vote applies to many matters submitted for stockholder approval. For significant corporate transactions, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock must approve the recommended action. Examples of these important corporate transactions include the following:
| amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation; |
| the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Companys property and assets; |
| removal of directors or the entire Board; |
| the Companys merger or consolidation with another entity; |
| dissolution of the Company; and |
| approval of a stockholder action to replace, alter or repeal the bylaws. |
The supermajority voting provisions protect PACCAR stockholders against the actions of short-term investors such as hedge funds or corporate raiders.
The Companys two-thirds supermajority vote provisions are designed to protect all PACCAR stockholders against coercive takeover tactics by requiring that a broad consensus of stockholders agree on significant corporate matters.
The current voting provisions encourage persons or firms making unsolicited takeover bids to negotiate with the Board to ensure that the interests of all the Companys stockholders are considered. In addition, the supermajority provisions allow the Board to consider alternative proposals that maximize the value of the Company for all stockholders.
The supermajority voting provisions are in the best interest of PACCAR stockholders because they increase stability, improve long-term planning and represent a more comprehensive group of stockholders.
The Board of Directors believes that the Company benefits from the existing supermajority vote requirement because it enhances corporate stability and enables the Board to pursue long-term corporate strategies for the benefit of all stockholders. Major steps such as the sale, merger or dissolution of the Company should have the support of a supermajority of the stockholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 4.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2015
A stockholder proposal must be addressed to the Corporate Secretary and received at the principal executive offices of the Company, P.O.

For business to be brought before the Annual Meeting of Stockholders by a stockholder, other than those proposals included in the proxy materials, the Companys Bylaws (Art. III, Section 5) provide that notice of such business, including director nominations, must be received at the Companys principal executive offices not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the prior years annual meeting. The notice must include the information stated in the Bylaws. A copy of the pertinent Bylaw provision is available upon request to the Corporate Secretary, PACCAR Inc, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, Washington 98009.

(a) | Except as set forth in Section 7, on the first business day of each calendar year for the duration of the Plan (the Grant Date), each person who is a Non-Employee Director shall receive a grant of Restricted Stock in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Base Amount could have purchased at the Fair Market Value on such Grant Date (rounded up to the nearest whole share). The Base Amount shall be $100,000 as previously established as of January 1, 2012.

A-2
7. | DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION |
A Non-Employee Director may elect, on or before December 31 of any year, to defer at least 25% of the cash compensation to be paid to the Non-Employee Director for services as a Company director during the following calendar year and/or elect to receive a credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a). Before the term of a new Non-Employee Director begins, he may elect within thirty (30) days of first becoming eligible to participate in the Plan to defer payment of the cash compensation earned for the remainder of the calendar year in which his term begins and/or elect to receive a credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(d). Any credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d) shall be for the same number of shares of Common Stock and have the same restrictions and vesting provisions otherwise applicable to the grant of Restricted Stock. Such credit to the Stock Unit Account shall be evidenced by a written Deferred Restricted Stock Unit Grant Agreement that shall be executed by the Non-Employee Director and an authorized Company representative which shall indicate the date of the Deferred Restricted Stock Unit award, the number of units awarded, and contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine with respect to such Deferred Restricted Stock Unit grant consistent with the Plan.
Each participating Non-Employee Director may elect to have all or a portion of his cash compensation placed into one or both of two unfunded accounts maintained by the Company (hereafter Deferred Accounts). At the time a Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election, such Non-Employee Director shall specify the time and manner in which the Deferred Accounts shall be paid, using the deferral election forms prescribed by the Committee. Payment of the Deferred Accounts may be made (i) at the time of the Non-Employee Directors Termination or (ii) based on a specific date after the Non-Employee Directors Termination (including the date the Non-Employee Director attains a specified age). The Non-Employee Directors deferral election form also must specify the allocation and investment of the deferred compensation between the Stock Unit Account and the Income Account. If a Non-Employee Director fails to specify the allocation and investment of the deferred compensation, then it shall be allocated and invested in the Income Account. Amounts deferred into the Stock Unit Account or the Income Account may not be transferred to the other deferred account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Non-Employee Director elects to receive a credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d), such credit may not be allocated to the Income Account.
(a) | Stock Unit Account. In the case of cash deferrals, the account will be credited with the number of shares of Common Stock that the amount deferred could have purchased at the Fair Market Value on the date the Non-Employee Directors cash compensation is payable. In the case of a credit to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d), the account will be credited with the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise applicable to the grant of Restricted Stock subject to the same vesting conditions otherwise applicable to such Restricted Stock. Thereafter, any dividends earned will be treated as if those dividends had been invested in additional shares of Common Stock at the Fair Market Value on the date the dividend is payable. Vested amounts credited to the Stock Unit Account shall be distributed in shares of Common Stock either in a single payment or in substantially equal annual installments (over a period not to exceed 15 years), as specified by the Non-Employee Director on the deferral election form. Any fractional shares will be paid in cash. If a Non-Employee Director fails to specify the manner in which the Stock Unit Account shall be distributed, then it shall be distributed in a single payment. |
(b) | Income Account. The account will be credited with the amount deferred, and interest shall begin to accrue, as of the date the Non-Employee Directors cash compensation is payable. Interest is credited at a rate equal to the simple combined average of the monthly Aa Industrial Bond yield averages for the immediately preceding calendar quarter as reported in Moodys Bond Record. Interest is compounded quarterly. Amounts credited to the Income Account shall be distributed either in a single payment or in substantially equal quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments (over a period not to exceed 15 years), as specified by the Non-Employee Director on the deferral election form. If a Non-Employee Director fails to specify the manner in which the Income Account shall be distributed, then it shall be distributed in a single payment. |
A-3
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the deferral election a Non-Employee Director makes under the Plan shall remain in effect from year-to-year. A Non-Employee Director may, however, increase or decrease the amount being deferred in the future by making a new deferral election no later than the December 31 immediately preceding the calendar in which the new election is to be effective. The amounts deferred under the new deferral election shall be distributed at the time specified in the prior deferral election and the amounts deferred under the new deferral election will be allocated in accordance with the prior deferral election, unless the Non-Employee Director specifies otherwise.
A Non-Employee Director may change the time and manner in which the Deferred Accounts shall be distributed; provided that (i) the new deferral election will become effective 12 months from the date it is made and (ii) the new deferral election specifies a distribution date that is at least five (5) years later than the prior distribution date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in the time and/or manner of distribution of the Deferred Accounts shall not accelerate the distribution date of the Deferred Accounts, except as allowed by section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.
8. | ADJUSTMENTS TO THE NUMBER OR VALUE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK |
If there are any changes in the number or value of shares of Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, or other events that increases or decreases the number or value of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, then proportionate adjustments shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock (i) available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 5 above, (ii) covered by an unvested grant of Restricted Stock, and (iii) credited to each Stock Unit Account in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. This provision does not, however, authorize the delivery of a fractional share of Common Stock under the Plan.
9. | NON-TRANSFERABILITY |
Shares of Restricted Stock and the Deferred Accounts shall not be assigned, attached, or otherwise subject to any creditors process or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a trust created for the benefit of the Non-Employee Director or his family or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code, Title I of Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder. The restrictions set forth in Section 4(b) shall apply to the shares of Restricted Stock in the hands of the trustee or Non-Employee Directors former spouse.
10. | TERMINATION OF STATUS AS A NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR |
(a) | In the event of a Termination by reason of Retirement, disability, or death, all shares of Restricted Stock held by the Grantee shall become fully vested, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, and the Grantee (or the Grantees estate or a person who acquired the shares of Restricted Stock by bequest or inheritance) shall have the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such shares at any time. In addition, in the event of such a Termination, all vesting restrictions on the credits made to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d) shall lapse but the payout provisions of such credits shall not be affected by such Termination. |
(b) | In the event of a Termination for any reason other than those specified in Section 10 (a) above, any shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be forfeited and the Grantee shall return to the Company for cancellation any stock certificates representing such forfeited shares which shall be deemed to be canceled and no longer outstanding as of the date of Termination; and from and after the date of Termination, the Grantee shall cease to be a shareholder with respect to such forfeited shares and shall have no dividend, voting, or other rights with respect thereto. In addition, in the event of such a Termination, any then unvested credits made to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d) shall be forfeited. |
A-4
(c) | The Deferred Accounts shall be distributed (or commence to be distributed), in accordance with the Non-Employee Directors prior election form. If a Non-Employee Director failed to specify the time on which the Deferred Accounts shall be distributed, then such Non-Employee Directors Deferred Accounts shall be distributed in the first January following the Non-Employee Directors Termination. |
(d) | Notwithstanding a Non-Employee Directors election, if the aggregate value of the Deferred Accounts is less than $50,000 at the time distribution is made (or is scheduled to begin), then the Deferred Accounts shall be distributed at that time in a single payment, in shares of Common Stock for the Stock Unit Account and in cash for the Income Account. |
11. | CHANGE IN CONTROL |
Upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, all grants of Restricted Stock under the Plan shall vest in full and become unrestricted and nonforfeitable. In addition, all vesting restrictions on the credits made to the Stock Unit Account in lieu of the grant of Restricted Stock described in Section 4(a) or 4(d) shall lapse but the payout provisions of such credits shall not affected by such change in control. For purposes of this Section 11, a change in control shall have the meaning given to such term under Section 16.4 of the PACCAR Inc Long Term Incentive Plan, as approved by the shareholders of the Company on April 20, 2011. In addition, the Board or the Committee may in its sole discretion terminate the deferral feature of the Plan within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a change in control event (as such term is defined in the Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to section 409A of the Code) and pay out deferred amounts, in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(j)(ix)(B) of the Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to section 409A of the Code.
12. | PLAN ADMINISTRATION |
The Plan will be administered by the Committee. The Company will pay all costs of administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have sole discretion to interpret the Plan, amend and rescind rules relating to its implementation and make all determinations necessary for administration of the Plan. Any determination, decision, or action of the Committee in connection with the interpretation, administration, or application of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons. The Committee may employ consultants or other persons and rely upon their advice. All actions taken and all determinations made by the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Non-Employee Directors, the Company, and all interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan.
The Committee may make such amendments or modifications in the terms and conditions of any grant of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable, or cancel or annul any grant of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, cancellation or annulment may, without the consent of the Grantee, adversely affect his rights with respect to such grant. In addition, the Committee may amend or modify the deferral feature, provided that any such amendment or modification (i) is made in accordance with section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) does not adversely affect the Non-Employee Directors rights thereunder without such Non-Employee Directors written consent, and (iii) is not a material modification that would result in the loss of grandfather treatment with respect to the balance in the Deferred Accounts as of December 31, 2004 (and earnings thereon).
13. | TAX WITHHOLDING |
To the extent required by law, the Non-Employee Director (or Grantee, if applicable) shall make such arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any tax withholding or employment tax obligations due with respect to Restricted Stock or the Deferred Accounts. The Company shall have the right to withhold or deduct from any payment under the Plan in order to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations.
A-5
14. | AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN |
The Board of Directors or the Committee may at any time suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Plan in any respect; provided, however, shareholder approval of any Plan amendment shall be obtained only if required by law or the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and provided, further, that any termination shall be subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code. No suspension, termination, modification, or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Non-Employee Director (or Grantee, if applicable), adversely affect his rights with respect to the Restricted Stock or his Deferred Accounts.
15. | BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION |
Each Non-Employee Director may designate a beneficiary for each outstanding grant of Restricted Stock and for payment of his Deferred Accounts in the event of his death. If no beneficiary is designated or the beneficiary does not survive the Non-Employee Director, the award shall be made to the Non-Employee Directors surviving spouse or, if there is none, to his estate.
16. | SECTION 409A 6-MONTH DELAY |
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, if a Non-Employee Director is deemed by the Company at the time of the Non-Employee Directors separation from service to be a specified employee, each within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, any compensation or benefits subject to section 409A of the Code to which the Non-Employee Director becomes entitled under this Plan (or any agreement or plan referenced in this Plan) in connection with such separation shall not be made or commence until the first day of the month immediately following the date that is six (6) months after the Non-Employee Directors separation from service (or the Non-Employee Directors death, if earlier). Such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to the Non-Employee Director, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which the Non-Employee Director would otherwise be liable under section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any compensation or benefits which would have otherwise been paid during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 17 shall be paid to the Non-Employee Director or his or her beneficiary in one lump sum.
17. | EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN AND DURATION |
This Plan, as amended and restated, is effective January 1, 2014 and will remain in effect until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company at the 2014 annual meeting or, if earlier, the date the Plan is terminated by the Committee or the Board of Directors as provided herein.
