that they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms furnished to Symantec and written
representations from the directors and executive officers, Symantec believes that all Section 16(a)
filing requirements were met in fiscal year 2011.
Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all of our Board members, officers and
employees. We have also adopted a code of ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and senior
financial officers, including our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Our
Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers are
posted on the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.symantec.com/invest, by
clicking on Investor Resournces and then Company Charters, under the Corporate Governance
heading. Any amendments or waivers of our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Chief Executive
Officer and Senior Financial Officers pertaining to a member of our Board or one of our executive
officers will be disclosed on our website at the above-referenced address.
Changes in Stockholder Nomination Procedures
On April 26, 2011, the Board amended and restated our Bylaws to change the timeframe a
stockholder has to provide notice to us of any nominations of persons for election to the Board at
an annual meeting of stockholders from between 60 days and 90 days prior to the first anniversary
of the preceding years annual meeting of stockholders to between 90 days and 120 days prior to the
first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting of stockholders.

Executive Compensation and Related Information
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (CD&A)
INTRODUCTION
This compensation discussion and analysis describes the material elements of Symantecs
executive compensation program for fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2011, our named executive officers
(NEOs) were:
|
|
|
Enrique Salem, President and Chief Executive Officer |
|
|
|
James A. Beer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer |
|
|
|
Janice D. Chaffin, Group President, Consumer Business Unit |
|
|
|
William T. Robbins, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Services |
|
|
|
Rebecca Ranninger, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer |
Our Compensation Philosophy: Pay for Performance
The overriding principle driving our compensation programs is our belief that it benefits all
of our constituencies for managements compensation to be tied to our current and long-term
performance. The following factors demonstrate our commitment to pay-for-performance and to
corporate governance best practices:
|
|
|
Approximately 90% of our CEOs target compensation was performance-based for fiscal
2011; |
|
|
|
Our CEOs total direct compensation declined by approximately 6% from fiscal 2010 to
fiscal 2011, during a period when we grew year-over-year revenue by 3% and year-over-year
cash flow from operations by 6%; |
|
|
|
Our CEOs total target direct compensation for fiscal 2011 was below the median total
target direct compensation of CEOs within our peer group; |
|
|
|
We do not provide for gross-ups of excise tax values under Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code, and any potential severance payments are well under 3 times our
executive officers total target cash compensation; and |
|
|
|
We have clawback provisions in all of our executive compensation plans (providing for
the return of any excess compensation received by an executive officer if the Companys
financial statements are the subject of a restatement due to error or misconduct). |
To further demonstrate our commitment to pay for performance, we made the following changes to
our executive compensation program for fiscal year 2012:
|
|
|
We are shifting our target pay positioning for our executive officers to the
50th percentile for salary and to the 65th percentile for other
performance-based pay elements; and |
|
|
|
We granted performance based restricted stock units to our named executive officers
in lieu of option grants, such that our CEO received approximately 67% of his fiscal year
2012 equity grant in the form of performance-based restricted stock units with a
component explicitly linked to total stockholder return over a two and three-year period. |
Summary of Compensation Matters During Fiscal 2011
In fiscal 2011,
Symantec delivered 3% year-over-year growth in revenue and 6% growth in cash flow
from operations after a difficult fiscal 2010. In addition, strong bookings performance drove
record deferred revenue which grew 19% year-over-year. Our stock price growth of 10% reflected our
resilience in managing through the recent global recession. Our results also reflected solid
execution, market leading products and services, strong customer relationships and strength in our
backup, SaaS, data loss prevention and consumer businesses as well as stabilization in the storage
management business. During fiscal 2011, we effectively integrated our authentication and
encryption acquisitions into Symantec and grew these businesses using our broader distribution
network. Our
9
product portfolio and customer reach have expanded as a result of these acquisitions and we
believe these acquired businesses will continue to contribute to our revenue growth and cost
efficiency.
As detailed below, during fiscal 2011, three core financial metrics, which we believe are
strongly correlated to enterprise value for companies in our sector, were used to measure company
performance under our executive compensation programs: revenue, non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS)
and cash flow from operations. In addition, business unit performance metrics were a factor in the
target bonus awards of our named executive officers, other than our CEO, under our Executive Annual
Incentive Plan. Although our revenue in fiscal 2011 was slightly below our targeted level of
performance for the full fiscal year, our EPS and cash flow from operations were higher than our
targeted levels of performance. Our named executive officers were compensated in a manner
consistent with our core pay-for-performance compensation philosophy as well as with the terms of
our compensation arrangements. The following are highlights of our named executive officers
compensation for fiscal 2011 and are discussed in greater detail in this CD&A:
|
|
|
Our executive compensation program is designed to pay for performance, with a large
portion of target total direct compensation based on the performance of our company and its
business units . For fiscal 2011, short- and long-term incentive compensation represented
approximately 90% of our CEOs target total direct compensation (sum of base salary,
target annual incentive, target cash long-term incentive and grant date fair value of
equity awards) and, on average, approximately 74% of the target total direct compensation
for our other NEOs. |
|
|
|
We take a total rewards approach in determining our executive officers compensation.
While we had higher payouts under the annual incentive plan and cash long-term incentive
plan in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010, the total direct compensation for our CEO
declined by 5.9% compared to fiscal 2010 and total direct compensation for our other NEOs
declined by 1% on average due primarily to the smaller equity grants made to our NEOs. The
following table presents each named executive officers total direct compensation (sum of
base salary, actual annual incentive plan payout, actual cash long-term incentive plan
accrual, and grant date fair value of equity awards) for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal
2010: |

The measures in our executive officer cash incentive compensation programs align with
our focus on maximizing long-term stockholder value. The three key financial metrics used
in our short- and long-term incentive compensation are revenue, EPS and cash flow from
operations. With the exception of our CEO, a business unit performance metric is used for
our NEOs annual cash incentive compensation. Business unit performance is measured against
specific strategic and operational performance goals established at the beginning of the
fiscal year. |
|
|
|
While our cash incentive compensation is designed to reward outstanding performance,
payout under each plan is capped to discourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by
our executives. |
|
|
|
For fiscal 2011, our named executive officers received 95% to 105% of their target
payout under our Fiscal Year 2011 Executive Annual Incentive Plans based on the Companys
revenue and EPS performance and, other than our CEO, the named executive officers business
unit performance. |
|
|
|
For fiscal 2011, our operating cash flow target was $1,611 million and we achieved 111%
of our target, resulting in a payout of 155% of target bonus amounts under our Long Term
Incentive Plan for our named executive officers who remain our employees as of the end of
fiscal 2013. |
|
|
|
For fiscal 2011, the named executive officers other than the CEO received, on average,
57% of the value of their equity compensation in the form of restricted stock units and 43%
in stock options, while the CEO received 50% of the value of his equity compensation in the
form of stock options and 50% in the form of restricted stock units. |
10
The following are highlights of changes that we have implemented in our executive compensation
program for fiscal 2012:
|
|
|
We will cease granting stock options as a part of the annual equity compensation
component of the compensation program for our named executive officers. We will continue to
grant restricted stock units and will replace stock options with performance-based
restricted stock units using earnings per share and relative total stockholder return as
performance measures, two metrics strongly tied to long-term stockholder value creation. As
a result, approximately 67% of the value of our CEOs fiscal 2012 equity compensation is in
the form of performance-based restricted stock units and approximately 33% is in the form
of time-based restricted stock units. |
|
|
|
Consistent with prevailing market practices in our industry, beginning in fiscal 2012,
we are shifting our base salary position strategy from targeting the 65th
percentile of the relevant market composite to the 50th percentile of the
relevant market composite, maintaining target total cash compensation positioning at market
65th percentile, and shifting our long-term incentive compensation position
strategy from 50th percentile of the relevant market composite to
65th percentile of the relevant market composite. As this shift is implemented,
these adjustments will allow for enhanced emphasis on higher variable compensation rewards
commensurate with performance that drives stockholder value creation and less emphasis on
fixed compensation. |
Relationship Between Company Performance and CEO Compensation
The following charts
illustrate the relationship between our CEOs total compensation (as
shown in the Summary Compensation Table on Page 25) and the three key financial metrics used in his
incentive compensation.
11
*For purposes of calculating achievements under these metrics, foreign exchange
movements were held constant at plan rates, pursuant to the terms of the bonus plans.
Roles of Our Compensation Committee, Executive Officers and Consultants in our Compensation
Process
The Compensation Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, is
responsible for overseeing all of Symantecs compensation programs, including the review and
recommendation to the independent directors of our Board all compensation arrangements for our
Chief Executive Officer and the review and approval of the compensation payable to our other named
executive officers.
The independent directors of the Board evaluate the CEOs performance and the Compensation
Committee then reviews and recommends to the independent members of the Board all compensation
arrangements for the CEO. After discussion, the independent members of the Board determine the
CEOs compensation. The Compensation Committee also discusses the performance of the other named
executive officers with the CEO, reviews the compensation recommendations that the CEO submits for
the other named executive officers, makes any appropriate adjustments, and approves their
compensation.
Since fiscal 2004, the Compensation Committee has engaged Mercer, an outside consulting firm,
to provide advice and ongoing recommendations on executive compensation matters. The Compensation
Committee oversees Mercers engagement. Mercer representatives meet informally with the
Compensation Committee Chair and the Chief Human Resources Officer and regularly with the
Compensation Committee during its regular meetings, including in executive sessions from time to
time without any members of management present.
As part of its engagement in fiscal 2011, Mercer provided, among other services, advice and
recommendations on the amount and form of executive and director compensation. For example, Mercer
evaluated and advised the Compensation Committee on the peer group that the Compensation Committee
uses to develop a market composite for purposes of establishing named executive officer pay levels
(as described below), the competitiveness of our director and executive compensation programs, the
proposed performance goals and ranges for incentive plans, compensation-related trends and
developments in our industry and the broader talent market and regulatory developments relating to
compensation practices.
We paid Mercer approximately $200,000 for executive compensation services in fiscal 2011. In
addition, with the Compensation Committees approval, management engaged and Symantec paid Mercer
and its affiliates for other services, including approximately $1.975 million for other unrelated
consulting and business services. We also reimbursed Mercer and its affiliates for reasonable
travel and business expenses.
The Compensation Committee establishes our compensation philosophy, approves our compensation
programs and solicits input and advice from several of our executive officers and Mercer. As
mentioned above, our CEO provides the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee with
feedback on the performance of our executive officers and makes compensation recommendations that
go to the Compensation Committee for their approval. Our CEO, CFO, Chief Human Resources Officer
and General Counsel regularly attend the Compensation Committees meetings to provide their
perspectives on competition in the industry, the needs of the business, information regarding
Symantecs performance, and other advice specific to their areas of expertise. In addition, at the
12
Compensation Committees direction, Mercer works with our Chief Human Resources Officer and
other members of management to obtain information necessary for Mercer to make their own
recommendations as to various matters as well as to evaluate managements recommendations.
FACTORS WE CONSIDER IN DETERMINING OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAMS
We apply a number of compensation policies and analytic tools in implementing our compensation
principles. These policies and tools guide the Compensation Committee in determining the mix and
value of the compensation components for the named executive officers, consistent with our
compensation philosophy. They include:
A Total Rewards Approach: Elements of the total rewards offered to our executive officers
include base salary, short- and long-term incentives including equity awards, health benefits, a
deferred compensation program and a consistent focus on individual professional growth and
opportunities for new challenges.
Focus on Pay-for-Performance: Our executive compensation program is designed to reward
executives for results. As described below, the pay mix for named executive officers emphasizes
variable pay in the form of short- and long-term cash and equity awards. Short-term results are
measured by annual financial performance, specifically revenue, non-GAAP earnings per share and,
for all named executive officers other than our CEO, business unit performance. Long-term results
are measured by share price appreciation, and achievement of operating cash flow targets. As
explained below, beginning with fiscal 2012, our long-term results will also be measured by the
achievement of the total stockholder return ranking for our company as compared to the S&P 500.
Appropriate Market Positioning: Our general pay positioning strategy is to target the levels
of base salary, annual short-term cash incentive structure and long-term incentive opportunities
and benefits for named executive officers with reference to the relevant market composite for each
position. The Compensation Committee may set the actual components for an individual named
executive officer above or below the positioning benchmark based on factors such as experience,
performance achieved, specific skills or competencies, the desired pay mix (e.g., emphasizing
short- or long-term results), and our budget.
Through the end of fiscal 2011, our policy was to target the base salary and annual short-term
cash incentive structure for named executive officers at the 65th percentile of the
relevant market composite with target long-term incentive opportunities and benefits for named
executive officers at the 50th percentile of the relevant market composite. Base salary and
short-term cash incentives were positioned at this level to attract and retain high caliber talent
in the highly competitive technology market. We believed that the target long-term incentive
strategy allowed us to be competitive in the market for top talent, while providing alignment with
stockholders and keeping the burn rate and dilution associated with our equity compensation
programs within a range we deemed appropriate. For fiscal 2011, the pay mix for executives
emphasized long-term performance through a majority of pay opportunity coming in the form of
long-term award vehicles. By using these targets, we believed that upside opportunity in the short-
and long-term incentive plans was available in the event of outstanding financial performance in
fiscal 2011.
Beginning in fiscal 2012, to further strengthen our pay for performance focus, we are shifting
our general pay positioning strategy to target 50th percentile of the relevant market
composite for base salary and 65th percentile of the relevant market composite for
short- and long-term incentive compensation and total direct compensation. These adjustments will
allow for enhanced emphasis on higher variable compensation rewards commensurate with performance
that drives stockholder value creation and for less emphasis on fixed compensation.
Competitive Market Assessments: Market competitiveness is one factor that the Compensation
Committee considers each year in determining a named executive officers overall compensation
package, including pay mix. The Compensation Committee relies on various data sources to evaluate
the market competitiveness of each pay element, including publicly-disclosed data from a peer group
of companies (see discussion below) and published survey data from a broader set of information
technology companies that are similar in size to Symantec and that the Compensation Committee and
its advisors, including Mercer, believe represent Symantecs competition in the broader talent
market. The peer groups proxy statements provide detailed pay data for the top five positions.
Survey data provides compensation information from a broader group of information technology
companies, with positions matched based on specific job scope and responsibilities. The
Compensation Committee considers data from these sources in developing a market composite that it
uses as a framework for making compensation decisions for each named executive officers position.
Symantec is a prominent participant in the information technology industry. This industry is
characterized by rapid rates of change, intense competition from small and large companies, and
significant cross-over in leadership talent needs. As such, we compete for executive talent with
leading software and services companies as well as in the broad information technology industry.
Further, because we believe that stockholders measure our performance against a wide array of
technology peers, the Compensation Committee uses a peer group that consists of a broader group of
high technology companies in different market segments that are of a
13
comparable size to us. The Compensation Committee uses the peer group, as well as other
relevant market data, to evaluate named executive officer pay levels (as described above). In
addition, the peer group performance is used as input for setting performance targets for our
annual incentive plan.
The peer group is generally reviewed on an annual basis, and may be adjusted from time to time
based on a comparison of market capitalization, industry and peer group performance. We did not
make any changes to our peer group for fiscal 2011. The following companies were included in our
peer group analysis:

Juniper Networks |
Lexmark International |
|
NetApp |
|
Oracle |
Qualcomm |

Seagate Technology |
|
Yahoo! |
Appropriate Pay Mix: Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, our executive
officers compensation is structured with a large portion of their total direct compensation paid
based on the performance of the Company and the applicable business unit. In determining the mix of
the various reward elements and the value of each component, the Compensation Committee takes into
account the executives role, the competitiveness of the market for executive talent, company
performance, business unit performance, internal pay equity and historical compensation. In making
its determinations with regard to compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews the various
compensation elements for the CEO and the other named executive officers (including base salary,
target annual bonus, target and accrued award payments under the Long Term Incentive Plans, and the
value of vested and unvested equity awards actually or potentially issued).
The percentage of an executive officers compensation opportunity that is at-risk or variable
instead of fixed is based primarily on the officers level of influence at Symantec. Executive
officers generally have a greater portion of their pay at risk through short- and long-term
incentive programs than the rest of our employee population because of their relatively greater
responsibility and ability to influence the Companys performance. A materially higher proportion
of the CEOs compensation opportunity is at-risk relative to the other named executive officers
because the nature of his role and ability to influence the Companys performance. As illustrated
by the following charts, for fiscal 2011, approximately 90% of our CEOs target total direct
compensation (sum of base salary, target annual incentive, target cash long-term- incentive and
grant date fair value of equity awards) was performance-based, and approximately 74% was
performance-based for our other named executive officers:
Further, the following charts illustrate the compensation pay mixes of our NEOs fiscal 2012
target total direct compensation which includes performance-based restricted stock units (as
described further below on page 20). Notably, the proportion of at-risk pay to total pay for our
NEOs will increase from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012.
14
*The values of PRU grants were calculated using the grant date fair value.
The Compensation Committee, in consultation with Mercer, has conducted a risk analysis on
Symantecs compensation policies and practices, and does not believe that our compensation programs
encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by our executives or are reasonably likely to have
a material adverse effect on the Company.
Form and Mix of Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation: We have used two forms of equity for
long-term equity incentive compensation in the last several years: stock options and restricted
stock units. (See Equity Incentive Awards below for more information regarding the specific
features of each form). For fiscal 2011, the named executive officers, other than the CEO, received
approximately 57% of the value of their equity compensation in the form of restricted stock units
and 43% in the form of stock options, while the CEO received approximately 50% of his equity
compensation in fiscal 2011 in the form of stock options and 50% in restricted stock units. These
percentages (and other percentage-based equity awards value discussed below) are based on the grant
date fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock units and the grant
date fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. (For compensation
valuation purposes, we use the same Black-Scholes option pricing method and assumptions used for
recognizing expenses in our consolidated financial statements contained in this report. The
Black-Scholes assumptions used in calculating our NEOs option grants are included in the Summary
of Compensation Table on page 25.) The awards made to our named executive officers other than the
CEO are determined by the Compensation Committee after reviewing recommendations made by the CEO.
In determining its recommendations to the independent directors of the Board, in the case of CEO
compensation, and in making compensation decisions with respect to other named executive officers,
the Compensation Committee may consider factors such as the individuals tenure at the Company,
industry experience, current pay mix, long-term equity and cash awards previously granted to the
individual, retention considerations, business unit performance, individual performance, and other
factors.
COMPENSATION COMPONENTS
Compensation for our named executive officers includes the following components:
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee reviews the named executive officers salaries annually as part of its
overall competitive market assessment and may make adjustments based on positioning relative to
market, individual role and contribution levels, and our overall salary budget. The independent
members of the Board of Directors review the CEOs salary in executive session (i.e., without any
executives present), and changes are considered in light of market pay assessments and the
Compensation Committees annual CEO performance evaluation. In setting the base salaries for the
other named executive officers, the Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of
the CEO based upon his annual review of their performance. Based on a compensation market
assessment conducted by Mercer, the Compensation Committee made a decision to increase our CEOs
base salary to $750,000 for fiscal 2011. Prior to this increase, our CEOs base salary had
remained the same since he was promoted to Chief Operating Officer in January 2008 and was not
adjusted when he was promoted to Chief Executive Officer in April 2009 due to overall company
salary
15
freezes driven by the economic environment. The increase brought our CEOs base salary closer
to the 25th percentile of CEOs within our peer group. Prior to fiscal 2011, other NEOs
had not received base salary increases for 3 years except in connection with promotions. For
fiscal 2011, they received a merit increase ranging from 4.8% to 11.1% based on an evaluation of
individual role, performance, contribution level and market compensation position. The following
table presents each named executive officers base salary for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal
2010:

Executive Annual Incentive Plan
The Executive Annual Incentive Plans for our executive officers are adopted pursuant to the
Senior Executive Incentive Plan (SEIP) most recently approved by our stockholders in 2008. The
Executive Annual Incentive Plans adopted under the SEIP are annual cash incentive plans that reward
named executive officers (and other participants) for generating strong financial results for our
Company in the short term. To support collaboration within the senior leadership group, all named
executive officers earn incentive compensation based on performance against pre-determined
corporate goals described below. The Compensation Committee may choose to measure the named
executive officers achievement against specific business unit or individual performance targets as
well.
Executive Annual Incentive Plan Target Opportunities: Under the Executive Annual Incentive
Plans for a given fiscal year, each named executive officer has a target award opportunity,
expressed as a percentage of base salary, with the ability to earn above or below that target based
on actual performance. Target award opportunities for our Executive Annual Incentive Plans are
established by the Compensation Committee using peer group and survey data and taking into account
other factors. The following table presents each named executive officers target bonus opportunity
actual and as a percentage of base salary for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010:

The award opportunities for fiscal 2011 were determined based on the relevant market
composite, the desired mix between cash and equity-based incentive pay, internal pay equity goals,
and the role of the named executive officer. Taking into account these factors, for fiscal 2011,
the Compensation Committee increased the target award opportunity as a percentage of base salary
for Enrique Salem, James Beer and Janice Chaffin to be closer to the median level of relevant
market composite. In addition, Mr. Salems target award opportunity was increased to place
additional emphasis on performance-based variable pay relative to his total direct compensation.
At the time award opportunities are established, there is no assurance that the amount of the
target awards will be realized. Each named executive officer must achieve threshold performance
for each metric established in the named executive officers executive annual incentive plan to
receive any payment for such metric. The payout under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan is also
capped at different levels based on the performance metric.
Executive Annual Incentive Plan Performance Measures and Target Setting: Executive Annual
Incentive Plan performance targets are established at or about the beginning of each plan year. Our
management develops proposed goals with reference to a variety of factors, including our historical
performance, internal budgets, market and peer performance, and external expectations for our
performance. The Compensation Committee reviews, adjusts as necessary, and approves the goals, the
range of performance, and the weighting of the goals. Following the end of each fiscal year, the
Compensation Committee reviews our actual performance against the performance measures established
in the fiscal years Executive Annual Incentive Plans (after making any appropriate adjustments to
such measures for the effects of corporate events, that were not anticipated in establishing the
performance measures), determines the extent of achievement and approves annual cash incentives, if
warranted. In determining the achievement of
16
performance goals for fiscal 2011, the Compensation Committee made adjustments to both the
revenue and Non-GAAP EPS targets for several acquisitions made during the year. The determination
of awards for the revenue and Non-GAAP EPS metrics is formulaic, while the business unit
performance metric is determined based on a qualitative evaluation of business unit performance
against pre-established operational and strategic goals. Although the Compensation Committee has
the discretion to adjust awards as appropriate, it did not exercise such discretion for fiscal
2011.
The performance measures and weightings under the Fiscal Year 2011 Executive Annual Incentive
Plans for the named executive officers were as follows:

We used the above performance metrics because:
|
|
|
Over time, revenue and Non-GAAP EPS measures have strongly correlated with stockholder
value creation for Symantec; |
|
|
|
Improvement in revenue and Non-GAAP EPS measures aligns with our overall growth
strategy; |
|
|
|
The revenue and Non-GAAP EPS measures are transparent to investors and are included in
our quarterly earnings releases; |
|
|
|
The revenue and Non-GAAP EPS measures balance growth and profitability; |
|
|
|
The performance goals used for the business unit performance component align with our
operational and strategic objectives; and |
|
|
|
The business unit performance metric provides a balance in incentive compensation as it
focuses on both operational excellence and strategic goals. |
Revenue and non-GAAP EPS performance targets are established based on a range of inputs,
including external market economic conditions, growth outlooks for our product portfolio, the
competitive environment, our internal budgets, and market expectations. If results for a goal are
below threshold, the funding level for that goal is 0%, and participants will be paid no incentive
compensation for that goal. A threshold performance level resulted in a payout of 70% of the target
opportunity in the case of revenue and 75% of the target opportunity in the case of EPS. At target,
the goal is funded at the 100% level. Below target, the payout for revenue achievement decreases by
5% of the target opportunity for each additional 1% below target revenue achievement levels
(assuming the threshold is met). Above target, the payout for revenue achievement increases by 10%
of the target opportunity for each additional 1% above target achievement levels up to 10% over
target for a maximum payout of 200% of the target opportunity. For EPS, the payout increases or
decreases by 5% of the target opportunity for each additional 1% above or below target achievement
levels (assuming the threshold is met), subject to a cap of a 150% payout upon 110% achievement.

The performance objectives used to determine the achievement of a business unit performance
are established at or shortly after the beginning of the fiscal year. The objectives chosen are
measurable goals and published internally within the Company. Each business unit sets its
objectives in the following four areas and results are monitored quarterly:
|
|
|
Customer and Partner Loyalty |
The CEO evaluates the performance level of each named executive officers business unit against the
pre-determined goals following the end of fiscal year, then makes recommendations to the
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee then reviews the
CEOs compensation recommendations for the other named executive officers, makes any
appropriate adjustments, and approves their compensation. The potential payout for this metric
ranges from 0% to 150% based on achievement of these preset goals.

Fiscal Year 2011 Results
For fiscal 2011, our revenue target was $6,325 million and our non-GAAP EPS target was $1.35
per share. The Company performed at 96% of the revenue goal, resulting in an 80% payout for that
portion of the plan based on the plan target amount, and performed at 106% of the non-GAAP EPS
goal, resulting in a payout for that portion of the plan at 130% of the plan target amount. For
purposes of calculating achievements under these goals, foreign exchange movements were held
constant at plan rates, pursuant to the terms of the plans. In general, business unit performance
was above target for each of our named executive officers whose award included a business unit performance goal. Our NEOs fiscal
2011 total payout as percentage of target opportunity and total payout amounts are provided in the

Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
In May 2010, the Compensation Committee approved our LTIP for fiscal 2011. Under the terms of
the FY11 LTIP, named executive officers are eligible to receive performance-based compensation
based upon the level of attainment of target operating cash flow for the fiscal year ending April
1, 2011. The Compensation Committee implemented the FY11 LTIP to provide an ongoing retention and
performance incentive by balancing option and restricted stock unit vesting periods (four years
each) with a component that will enhance the alignment to long-term financial performance. The FY11
LTIP was adopted pursuant to the SEIP most recently approved by our stockholders in 2008.
FY11 LTIP Target Opportunities: The target bonus amounts under the FY11 LTIP were $2,000,000
for Enrique Salem and $300,000 for each of the other named executive officers.
FY11 LTIP Performance Measure and Target Setting: Under the FY11 LTIP, the long-term
incentive metric is measured at the end of the one-year performance period (i.e., the end of fiscal
2011) and, subject to the meeting of the performance target(s) and satisfaction of continuing
service requirements, will be paid following the last day of the second fiscal year following the
end of the performance period (i.e., the end of fiscal 2013). We believe the combination of these
performance goals and this time-based vesting period provide appropriate performance incentives and
promote the long-term retention of our executive officers. By basing the FY11 LTIP payout on
operating cash flow, the plan focuses on a specific, measurable corporate goal that is aligned with
generating stockholder value, and provides performance-based compensation based upon the actual
achievement of the goal. We believe that the exclusive metric of operating cash flow, as opposed to
revenue or EPS, appropriately focuses our executives on tangible growth and cost reduction
opportunities. Operating cash flow is also a direct measure of business success and balances the
annual plan measures that are not subject to some of the timing issues associated with the
accounting rules relating to revenue and EPS, which can lead to fluctuations in results that are
not necessarily directly tied to our business success.
A participant is eligible for 25% of the target FY11 LTIP award if at least 85% of budgeted
operating cash flow target is achieved with respect to the performance period and for up to 200% of
the target FY11 LTIP award if at least 120% of budgeted operating cash flow is attained with
respect to the performance period. The following table presents the threshold, target and maximum
performance levels of the operating cash flow target as a percentage of the performance target and
the relative payout at each level as a percentage of the applicable target opportunity under the
FY11 LTIP:

At the time award opportunities are established, there is no assurance that the amount of the
target awards will be realized. A participant must be an employee of the Company on the payment
date to receive the payment, creating a strong incentive for our executive officers to serve
through the payment date for these awards. Subject to certain limited exceptions, a participant who
terminates his or her employment with the Company before the payment date will not be eligible to
receive the payment or any prorated portion thereof.
18
For fiscal 2011, our operating cash flow target was $1,611 million and we achieved 111% of our
target, resulting in a payout of 155% of target bonus amounts under our FY11 LTIP for our named
executive officers who remain our employees as of the end of fiscal 2013. This level of achievement
against target compares to our reported increase in cash flow from operations of approximately 6%
from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011.

Equity Incentive Awards
The primary purpose of our equity incentive awards is to align the interests of our named
executive officers with those of our stockholders by rewarding the named executive officers for
creating stockholder value over the long-term. By compensating our executives with the Companys
equity, our executives hold a stake in the Companys financial future. The gains realized in the
long term depend on our executives ability to drive the financial performance of the Company.
Equity incentive awards are also a useful vehicle for attracting and retaining executive talent in
our competitive talent market.
Our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock
units). We granted named executive officers stock options and restricted stock units in fiscal 2011
(as described in more detail below, including under the Summary Compensation Table and Grant of
Plan-Based Awards table on pages 25 and 27, respectively). We also offer all employees the
opportunity to participate in the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which allows for the purchase
of our stock at a discount to the fair market value through payroll deductions. This plan is
designed to comply with Section 423 of the Code. During fiscal 2011, four named executive officers
participated in the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
We seek to provide equity incentive awards that are competitive with companies in our peer
group and the other information technology companies that the Compensation Committee includes in
its market composite. As such, we establish target equity incentive award grant guideline levels
for the named executive officers based on market pay assessments. When making annual equity awards
to named executive officers, we consider corporate results during the past year, the role,
responsibility and performance of the individual named executive officer, the competitive market
assessment described above, prior equity awards, and the level of vested and unvested equity awards
then held by each named executive officer. In making equity awards, we also generally take into
consideration gains recognizable by the executive from equity awards made in prior years. Mercer
provides the Compensation Committee with market data on these matters, as well as providing to the
Compensation Committee summaries of the prior grants made to the individual named executive
officers.
For fiscal 2011, on average 57% of the named executive officers (other than the CEO) equity
incentive award value was granted in the form of restricted stock units and approximately 43% in
the form of stock options. The CEOs equity incentive award value for fiscal 2011 was
approximately equally distributed between restricted stock units and stock options.
Stock Options: Stock options provide an incentive for executives to drive long-term share
price appreciation through the development and execution of effective long-term strategies. Stock
option value is only realized if the trading price of our common stock increases so that option
holder interests are therefore aligned with stockholder interests. Stock options are issued with
exercise prices at 100% of the grant-date fair market value to assure that executives will receive
a benefit only when the trading price increases. Stock option awards generally have value for the
executive only if the executive remains employed with us for the period required for the shares to
vest. Stock options granted in fiscal 2011 vest 25% after the first year and on a monthly basis
thereafter for the next 36 months, and, if not exercised, expire in a maximum of seven years (or
earlier in the case of termination of employment). Providing for four-year option vesting creates
retention value and is in line with market practices among companies in our market composite.
(Details of stock options granted to the named executive officers in fiscal 2011 are disclosed in
the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards table
included on pages 25 and 27,
respectively.)
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): RSUs represent the right to receive one share of Symantec
common stock for each RSU vested upon the settlement date, which is the date on which certain
conditions, such as continued employment with us for a pre-determined length of time, are
satisfied. The Compensation Committee believes that RSUs align the interests of the named executive
officers with the interests of the stockholders because the value of these awards appreciate if the
trading price of our common stock appreciates, and
19
also have retention value even during periods in
which our trading price does not appreciate, which supports continuity in the senior management
team.
Shares of our stock are issued to RSU holders as the awards vest. The vesting schedule for
RSUs granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2011 provided that each award vests in four
equal annual installments. (Details of RSUs granted to the named executive officers in fiscal 2011
are disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of
Plan-Based Awards table on pages 25 and 27, respectively.)
The following table summarizes the value of our NEOs total target long-term incentive
compensation awarded (sum of stock option and RSU grant date fair value and LTIP target award) in
fiscal 2011 and 2010. With the exception of Janice Chaffin, our NEOs total target long-term
incentive compensation value declined in fiscal 2011, both because they received comparatively
fewer options and RSUs in fiscal 2011 and because the grant date value of Symantecs stock was
slightly lower in fiscal 2011 than in fiscal 2010. Ms. Chaffins total target long-term incentive
compensation value increased because she received a larger equity grant in fiscal year 2011 as a
result of the strong performance of the consumer business unit during fiscal 2010, which included
the successful launch of the Companys new eCommerce store.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (PRUs): For fiscal 2012, the Compensation Committee
granted PRUs for the first time in furtherance of our pay for performance philosophy. These PRU
grants were in lieu of the stock options that we have historically awarded as a part of our annual
executive compensation program. While this development did not impact compensation decisions
during fiscal 2011, implementation of this program represents an important step taken by our
Compensation Committee to continue to drive a pay-for-performance culture with a component
explicitly linked to total stockholder return. Unlike our restricted stock unit awards, the shares
underlying the PRUs awarded for fiscal 2012 are eligible to be earned only if we achieve the same
non-GAAP EPS goal for the FY12 Executive Annual Incentive Plan for fiscal 2012. Depending on our
achievement of this goal, 0% to 133% of the target shares will be eligible to be earned at the end
of fiscal 2013 and 2014, based on, and subject to further adjustment as a result of, the
achievement of the total stockholder return (TSR) ranking for our company as compared to the S&P
500. If any target shares become eligible (the eligible shares) to be earned in fiscal 2013 and
2014 as a result of achievement of the non-GAAP EPS goal for fiscal 2012, then 50% to 150% of
one-half of the eligible shares may be earned based on the achievement of the TSR goal for the two
years ended March 29, 2013 and 50% to 150% of one-half of the eligible shares (plus any eligible
shares not earned on March 29, 2013 if less than 100% of the TSR goal is achieved for the two-year
period then ended) may be earned based on the achievement of the TSR goal for the three years ended
March 28, 2014. Subject to certain exceptions (including acceleration of vesting upon a change in
control of the company under the terms of the Symantec Executive Retention Plan, as amended), the
award shall vest, if at all, only at the end of the third year of the performance period (i.e.,
fiscal 2014), and the named executive officer must be employed by us at the end of such period in
order to vest in the award.
Burn Rate and Dilution: We closely manage how we use our equity to compensate employees. We
think of gross burn rate as the total number of shares granted under all of our equity incentive
plans during a period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during that period and expressed as a percentage. We think of net burn rate as the total number
of shares granted under all of our equity incentive plans during a period, minus the total number
of shares returned to such plans through awards cancelled during that period, divided by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period, and expressed as
a percentage. Overhang we think of as the total number of shares underlying options and awards
outstanding plus shares available for issuance under all of our equity incentive plans at the end
of a period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
that period and expressed as a percentage. For purposes of these calculations, each full-value
award grant (e.g., restricted stock unit) is treated as the equivalent of the grant of two options
in order to recognize the economic difference in the equity vehicle types. The Compensation
Committee determines the percentage of equity to be made available for our equity programs with
reference to the companies in our market composite. In addition, the Compensation Committee
considers the accounting costs that will be reflected in our financial statements when establishing
the forms of equity to be
granted and the size of the overall pool available. For fiscal 2011, our gross burn rate was
3.5%, our net burn rate was 3.28%, and our overhang was 23.43%. Our burn rate was somewhat higher
than our historical average in fiscal 2011 largely due to the equity awards granted to employees in
connection with our acquisition of the identity and authentication business of VeriSign.
20
Equity Grant Practices: The Compensation Committee generally approves grants to the
named executive officers at its first meeting of each fiscal year, or thereafter through subsequent
action. The grant date for all stock options and RSUs granted to employees, including the named
executive officers, is generally the 10th day of the month following the applicable meeting. If
the 10th day is not a business day, the grant is generally made on the previous business
day. The exercise price for stock options is the closing price of our common stock, as reported on
the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee does not
coordinate the timing of equity awards with the release of material nonpublic information. RSUs may
be granted from time to time throughout the year, but all RSUs generally vest on either March 1,
June 1, September 1 or December 1 for administrative reasons.
Change of Control and Severance Arrangements: The vesting of certain stock options and RSUs
held by our named executive officers will accelerate if they experience an involuntary (including
constructive) termination of employment under certain circumstances. For additional information
about these arrangements, see Other BenefitsChange of Control and Severance Arrangements
below and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, below.
Retention and Other Awards
Certain business conditions may warrant using additional compensation approaches to attract,
retain or motivate executives. Such conditions include acquisitions and divestitures, attracting or
retaining specific or unique talent, and recognition for exceptional contributions. In these
situations, the Compensation Committee considers the business needs and the potential costs and
benefits of special rewards. No retention awards were provided to our named executive officers in
fiscal 2011 as the overall composition and amount of other reward elements was judged to be
sufficient to provide an appropriate incentive and retention level.
Other Benefits
All named executive officers are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan (which includes
our matching contributions), health and dental coverage, life insurance, disability insurance, paid
time off, and paid holidays on the same terms as are available to all employees generally. These
rewards are designed to be competitive with overall market practices, and are in place to attract
and retain the talent needed in the business. In addition, named executive officers are eligible to
participate in the deferred compensation plan, and to receive other benefits described below.
Deferred Compensation: Symantecs named executive officers are eligible to participate in a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides management employees on our U.S. payroll with
a base salary of $150,000 or greater (including our named executive officers) the opportunity to
defer up to 75% of base salary and 100% of cash bonuses for payment at a future date. This plan is
provided to be competitive in the executive talent market, and to provide executives with a
tax-efficient alternative for receiving earnings. One of our named executive officers participated
in this plan during fiscal 2011. The plan is described further under Non-Qualified Deferred
Compensation in Fiscal 2011, beginning on page 29.
Additional Benefits: Symantecs named executive officers typically do not receive
perquisites, except in limited circumstances when deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee.
For example, an additional benefit available to named executive officers is reimbursement for up to
$10,000 for financial planning services. The Compensation Committee provides certain perquisites
because it believes they are for business-related purposes or are prevalent in the marketplace for
executive talent. The value of the perquisites we provide are taxable to the named executive
officers and the incremental cost to us for providing these perquisites is reflected in the Summary
Compensation Table. (These benefits are disclosed in the All Other Compensation column of the
Summary Compensation Table on page 25).
Change in Control and Severance Arrangements: Our Executive Retention Plan provides
participants with double trigger acceleration of equity awards, where equity vesting is only
accelerated in the event the individuals employment is terminated without cause, or is
constructively terminated, within 12 months after a change in control of the Company (as defined in
the plan). We believe that the double trigger acceleration provision appropriately achieves the
intent of the plan without providing an undue benefit to executives who continue to be employed
following a change in control transaction. The intent of the plan is to enable named executive
officers to have a balanced perspective in making overall business decisions in the context of a
potential acquisition of the Company, as well as to be competitive with market practices. The
Compensation Committee believes that change in control benefits, if structured appropriately, serve
to minimize the distraction caused by a potential transaction and reduce the risk that key talent
would leave the Company before a transaction closes. We typically do not provide other change of
control or severance arrangements to our executive officers, although in connection with his
promotion to CEO in 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with Enrique Salem that provides
him with certain benefits upon the involuntary termination of his employment under certain
circumstances, including acceleration of vesting and severance payments in connection with a change
of control. We do not provide for gross-ups of excise tax values under Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Rather, we allow the named executive officer to reduce the benefit received
21
or waive the accelerated vesting of options to avoid excess payment penalties. Details of each
individual named executive officers benefits, including estimates of amounts payable in specified
circumstances, are disclosed under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
beginning on page 30 below.
SUPPLEMENTARY POLICIES AND CONSIDERATIONS
We use several additional policies to ensure that the overall compensation structure is
responsive to stockholder interests and competitive with the market. Specific policies include:
Stock Ownership Requirements
To ensure that our executive management teams interests are aligned with our stockholders, we
instituted stock ownership requirements in October 2005. Minimum ownership levels are based on the
executives level:
|
|
|
CEO: 150,000 shares |
|
|
|
|
CFO: 85,000 shares |
|
|
|
|
Group Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents: 35,000 shares |
|
|
|
|
Chief Accounting Officer (if not otherwise included above): 20,000 shares |
Each person holding one of the positions listed above is required to acquire and thereafter
maintain the stock ownership required within four years of becoming an executive of Symantec (or
four years following the adoption date of these guidelines).
Stock options and unvested restricted stock awards or restricted stock units do not count
toward stock ownership requirements. Until an executive meets the applicable stock ownership
requirement, the executive is encouraged to retain a percentage of any shares received as a result
of the exercise of any stock option or other equity award, net of the applicable exercise price and
tax withholdings.
As of July 1, 2011, all named executive officers have reached the stated ownership
requirements. See the table below for individual ownership levels relative to the executives
ownership requirement.

Recoupment Policies (Clawbacks)
Since fiscal 2009, we have included provisions within our executive annual incentive plans to
the effect that we will seek reimbursement of excess incentive cash compensation if our financial
statements are the subject of a restatement due to error or misconduct. Our long-term incentive
plans have contained such provisions since their inception during fiscal 2008.
Certain Other Securities Matters
Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all directors and employees from short-selling Symantec
stock or engaging in transactions involving Symantec-based derivative securities, including, but
not limited to, trading in Symantec-based option contracts (for example, buying and/or writing puts
and calls).
In addition, our Insider Trading Policy requires that our Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, and each of our directors conduct open market sales of our securities only
through use of stock trading plans adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Rule
10b5-1 allows insiders to sell and diversify their holdings in our stock over a designated period
by adopting pre-arranged stock trading plans at a time when they are not aware of material
nonpublic information about us, and thereafter sell shares of our common stock in accordance with
the terms of their stock trading plans without regard to whether or not they are in possession of
material nonpublic information about the Company at the time of the sale. All other executives are
strongly encouraged to trade using 10b5-1 plans.

Tax and Accounting Considerations on Compensation
The financial reporting and income tax consequences to the Company of individual compensation
elements are important considerations for the Compensation Committee when it reviews compensation
practices and makes compensation decisions. While structuring compensation programs that result in
more favorable tax and financial reporting treatment is a general principle, the Compensation
Committee balances these goals with other business needs that may be inconsistent with obtaining
the most favorable tax and accounting treatment for each component of its compensation.
Deductibility by Symantec. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we may not
receive a federal income tax deduction for compensation that is not performance-based (as defined
in the Section 162(m) rules) paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the next three most highly
compensated executive officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer) to the extent that any of
these persons receives more than $1,000,000 in nonperformance-based compensation in any one year.
While the Compensation Committee considers the Companys ability to deduct compensation amounts
paid or to be paid to its executive officers in determining appropriate levels or manner of
compensation, it may from time to time approve additional amounts of compensation that are not
fully deductible under Section 162(m).
Salaries for the named executive officers do not qualify as performance-based compensation;
however, as no officer received salary in excess of $1,000,000 during fiscal 2011, the entire
amount of salaries paid to our named executive officers is deductible. Our executive annual
incentive plan is structured so that it is performance-based and therefore deductible. We believe
that all of the stock options granted to the named executive officers under our 1996 Equity
Incentive Plan and 2004 Equity Incentive Plan qualify under Section 162(m) as performance-based
compensation and that all amounts of compensation related to options held by our named executive
officers should be fully deductible. Our RSU grants vest on a time-based vesting schedule and
therefore are not considered performance-based under the Section 162(m) rules. Accordingly, amounts
of compensation related to RSUs held by our named executive officers may not be fully deductible
(depending upon the value of our stock, and the amount of other nonperformance-based compensation
an officer has during the year in which any portion of an RSU vests). Our cash long term incentive
plan may not be considered performance-based under the Section 162(m) rules because of its feature
providing for a prorated payout upon involuntary termination without cause.
Tax Implications for Officers. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes additional
income taxes on executive officers for certain types of deferred compensation that do not comply
with Section 409A. The Company attempts in good faith to structure compensation so that it either
conforms with the requirements of or qualifies for an exception under Code Section 409A. Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on payments to executives of severance or
change of control compensation that exceed the levels specified in the Section 280G rules. Our
named executive officers could receive the amounts shown in the section entitled Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control (beginning on
page 30 below) as severance or change
of control payments that could implicate this excise tax. As mentioned above, we do not offer our
officers as part of their change of control benefits any gross-ups related to this excise tax under
Code Section 4999.
Accounting Considerations. The Compensation Committee also considers the accounting and cash
flow implications of various forms of executive compensation. In its financial statements, the
Company records salaries and performance-based compensation incentives as expenses in the amount
paid, or to be paid, to the named executive officers. Accounting rules also require the Company to
record an expense in its financial statements for equity awards, even though equity awards are not
paid as cash to employees. The accounting expense of equity awards to employees is calculated in
accordance with the requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. The
Compensation Committee believes, however, that the many advantages of equity compensation, as
discussed above, more than compensate for the non-cash accounting expense associated with them.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The members of Symantecs Compensation Committee during fiscal 2011 were Stephen M. Bennett,
Michael A. Brown, Geraldine B. Laybourne, David L. Mahoney and Daniel H. Schulman. None of the
members of Symantecs Compensation Committee in fiscal 2011 was at any time during fiscal 2011 or
at any other time an officer or employee of Symantec or any of its subsidiaries, and none had or
have any relationships with Symantec that are required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation
S-K. None of Symantecs executive officers has served as a member of the board of directors, or as
a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive
officers who served on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee during fiscal 2011.

Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this review

In fiscal 2011, certain management employees on our U.S. payroll with a base salary of
$150,000 or greater, including each of the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in
the Symantec Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan provides the opportunity for
participants to defer up to 75% of base salary and 100% of variable pay each year. Variable pay
includes all bonus and commission payments. Deferral elections must be made prior to the beginning
of a calendar year and cannot be revoked as of the day immediately prior to commencement of that
year. The plan is unfunded and all deferrals are general assets of Symantec. Amounts deferred by
each participant under the plan are credited to a bookkeeping account maintained on behalf of each
participant. The bookkeeping account under the plan will then be adjusted based on the performance
of the measurement funds that have been selected by the participant. The measurement funds
available under the plan are substantially identical to the investment funds available under our
401(k) plan. Each participant may change their measurement fund selections on a daily basis. The
plan requires that benefits accumulated in the bookkeeping accounts for each participant not
meeting a 5-year service requirement to be distributed to the participant following his or her
termination of employment with us for any reason. If a 5-year service requirement has been met,
29
accumulated benefits will be distributed according to the participants designated payment
election. The plan permits us to terminate the plan and make such a distribution in the event of a
change in control of Symantec. We intend to take such action in the event of a change in control of
Symantec.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control
Set forth below is a description of the plans and agreements (other than the Deferred
Compensation Plan) that could result in potential payouts to the named executive officers in the
case of their termination of employment and/or a change in control of Symantec. For information
regarding potential payouts upon termination under the Deferred Compensation Plan, in which Rebecca
Ranninger participates, see Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal 2011 above.
Symantec Executive Retention Plan
In January 2001, the Board approved the Symantec Executive Retention Plan, to deal with
employment termination resulting from a change in control of the Company. The plan was modified by
the Board in July 2002, April 2006 and June 2007. Under the terms of the plan, all equity
compensation awards (including, among others, stock options and restricted stock units) granted by
the Company to the Companys Section 16(b) officers (including the named executive officers) would
become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable following a change in control of the Company
(as defined in the plan) after which the officers employment is terminated without cause or
constructively terminated by the acquirer within 12 months after the change in control.
Symantec Corporation Severance Plan
During fiscal 2008, we adopted the Symantec Corporation Severance Plan, effective as of July
1, 2007, to provide severance benefits to certain eligible employees of Symantec. Individual
employees must meet certain criteria in order to participate in the plan, including, among other
criteria, (i) the employee is not entitled to severance under any other plan, fund, program,
policy, arrangement or individualized written agreement providing for severance benefits that is
sponsored or funded by Symantec, and (ii) the employee was involuntarily terminated from active
employment because of market conditions or division performance resulting in elimination of their
position, and not solely because of poor work performance.
Under the terms of the plan, eligible employees at the Vice President level or above receive
severance payments calculated as follows: (i) severance payments equal to ten weeks of base pay if
such employee has been employed by Symantec for one year or less; or (ii) severance payments equal
to ten weeks of base pay plus the amount calculated by multiplying two weeks of base pay times the
number of years of such employees employment by Symantec after the first year of employment,
prorated through the termination date. If an eligible employee timely elects COBRA continuation
coverage under Symantecs group insurance plans, Symantec will also subsidize the full amount of
premiums for such eligible employees for the period of time upon which severance payments are paid
under the plan. Symantec will subsidize premiums for continuation coverage at the same level of
coverage in effect immediately before termination of employment for the applicable employee.
Eligible employees at the Vice President level are also entitled to receive six months of
outplacement services, including counseling and guidance.
Payment of severance payments and COBRA premiums and provision of outplacement assistance
pursuant to the Symantec Corporation Severance Plan is subject to the applicable employees
returning a release of claims against Symantec.
Enrique Salem
In accordance with an employment agreement dated September 23, 2009 between Mr. Salem and
Symantec, in the event Mr. Salem resigns for good reason (i.e., material reduction in
responsibilities, position or salary) or is terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement),
he is entitled to a severance payment equal to 3.375 times his annual base salary, reimbursement of
COBRA premiums for up to twelve months and the vesting of his outstanding stock options and
restricted stock units will be accelerated by one year.
In the event that Mr. Salems employment is terminated due to his death or disability, the
vesting of his outstanding options will remain exercisable, notwithstanding anything in any other
agreement governing such options, until the earlier of (a) a period of one year after the
termination date and (b) the original term of the option.
In the event Mr. Salem is terminated without cause, not due to death or permanent disability,
nor resign for good reason, that occurs during, or within the twelve (12) month period following,
the consummation of a Change in Control; or within the sixty (60) day period prior to the date of a
Change in Control where the Change in Control was under consideration at the time of Mr. Salems
termination date, then Mr. Salem shall be entitled to a severance payment equal to 4.5 times his
annual base salary, reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to twelve months and full acceleration
of any then-unvested stock options and restricted stock units.

Non-employee directors receive an annual retainer fee of $50,000 plus an additional annual fee of $15,000
(Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee) or $20,000 (Audit Committee) for membership on

they were each granted 3,084 shares at a per share fair value of $16.21 and a full grant date fair value of
$49,992. The balance of their fees were paid in cash as reported in the Fees Earned or Paid in Cash column in

In fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, there were no stock option grants to any person who served as a
non-employee director. The outstanding stock options held by each non-employee director at 2011 fiscal year-end
were: Mr. Brown (175,630), Mr. Coleman (100,000), Mr. Mahoney (106,000), Mr. Miller (148,000), Mr. Schulman
(61,000), and Mr. Unruh (180,630). |
The policy of the Board is that compensation for independent directors should be a mix of cash
and equity-based compensation. Symantec does not pay employee directors for Board service in
addition to their regular employee compensation. Independent directors may not receive consulting,
advisory or other compensatory fees from the Company. The Compensation Committee, which consists
solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility to review and consider any
revisions to directors compensation.
Director Stock Ownership Guidelines: Since May 2007, the Compensation Committee has
instituted the following stock ownership guidelines to better align our directors interests with
those of our stockholders:
|
|
|
Directors must maintain a minimum holding of 10,000 shares of Company stock; |
|
|
|
|
New directors will have three years to reach the minimum holding level; and |
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors may sell enough shares to cover their income
tax liability on vested grants. |
32
Annual Fees: In accordance with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board
determined the non-employee directors compensation for fiscal year 2011 as follows:
|
|
|
$50,000 annual cash retainer |
|
|
|
|
$15,000 annual fee for committee membership ($20,000 for Audit Committee membership) |
|
|
|
|
$15,000 annual fee for chairing a committee of the Board ($25,000 for chairing the Audit
Committee) |
|
|
|
|
$30,000 annual fee for the Lead Independent Director |
The payment of the annual cash retainer is subject to the terms of the 2000 Director Equity
Incentive Plan, as amended, which allows directors to choose to receive common stock in lieu of
cash for all or a portion of the retainer payable to each director for serving as a member. We pay
the annual retainer fee and any additional annual fees to each director at the beginning of the
fiscal year. Directors who join the Company after the beginning of the fiscal year receive a
prorated cash payment in respect of their annual retainer fee and fees. These payments are
considered earned when paid. Accordingly, we do not require them to be repaid in the event a
director ceases serving in the capacity for which he or she was compensated.
Annual Equity Awards. All grants to non-employee directors will be made on a discretionary
basis under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Pursuant to a Non-Employee Director Grant Policy
adopted by our Board, each non-employee member of the Board receives an annual award of
fully-vested restricted stock awards having a fair market value on the grant date equal to a
pre-determined dollar value, which was $200,000 during fiscal 2011. The restricted stock awards
granted for fiscal year 2011 were granted on May 10, 2010 and are fully vested.
Since the beginning of fiscal year 2007, we have not made option grants to our directors.
Option grants made to our non-employee directors in fiscal 2006 and prior years were subject to a
four-year vesting schedule. In the event of a merger or consolidation in which Symantec is not the
surviving corporation or another similar change in control transaction involving Symantec, all
unvested stock option and restricted stock unit awards made to non-employee directors under the
programs described above will accelerate and vest in full.
Symantec stock ownership information for each of our directors is shown under the heading
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management in Item 12 of this annual report.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth information, as of July 1, 2011, with respect to the beneficial
ownership of Symantec common stock by (i) each stockholder known by Symantec to be the beneficial
owner of more than 5% of Symantec common stock, (ii) each member of the Board, (iii) the named
executive officers of Symantec included in the Summary Compensation Table appearing in Item 11 of
this annual report and (iv) all current executive officers and directors of Symantec as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or
investment power with respect to securities. Unless otherwise indicated below, the persons and
entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares
beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable. Percentage ownership is
based on 753,064,227 shares of Symantec common stock outstanding as of July 1, 2011 (excluding
shares held in treasury). Shares of common stock subject to stock options and restricted stock
units vesting on or before August 26, 2011 (within 60 days of July 1, 2011) are deemed to be
outstanding and beneficially owned for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such
person but are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of
others.

Symantec has adopted a policy that executive officers and members of the Board hold an equity
stake in the Company. The policy requires each executive officer to hold a minimum number of shares
of Symantec common stock. Newly appointed executive officers are not required to immediately
establish their position, but are expected to make regular progress to achieve it. The Nominating
and Governance Committee reviews the minimum number of shares held by the executive officers and
directors from time to time. The purpose of the policy is to more directly align the interests of
our executive officers and directors with our stockholders. See Stock Ownership Requirements
under the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of Item 11 for a description of the stock
ownership requirements applicable to our executive officers.

that were assumed as part of the Veritas acquisition. Also excludes

part of other acquisitions. The weighted average exercise price of
these outstanding options was $23.69 as of April 1, 2011. In
connection with these acquisitions, Symantec has only assumed
outstanding options and rights, but not the plans themselves, and
therefore, no further options or rights may be granted under these
acquired-company plans. |

Equity Incentive Plan. |
Material Features of Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Stockholders
2001 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan
The 2001 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan was terminated in September 2004 in connection
with the adoption of the Symantec 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. As of April 1, 2011, options to
purchase 264,485 shares were outstanding under the 2001 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan.
Terms of Options. Symantecs Compensation Committee determined many of the terms and
conditions of each option granted under the plan, including the number of shares for which the
option was granted, the exercise price of the option and the periods during which the option may be
exercised. Each option is evidenced by a stock option agreement in such form as the Compensation
Committee approved and is subject to the following conditions (as described in further detail in
the plan):
|
|
|
Vesting and Exercisability: Options and restricted shares become vested and exercisable,
as applicable, within such periods, or upon such events, as determined by the Compensation
Committee in its discretion and as set forth in the related stock option or restricted stock
agreement. To date, as a matter of practice, options under the plan have generally been
subject to a four-year vesting period. Options terminate ten years or less from the date of
grant. |
|
|
|
|
Exercise Price: The exercise price of each option granted was not less than 100% of the
fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of the grant. |
|
|
|
|
Tax Status: All options granted under the plan are non-qualified stock options. |
|
|
|
|
Method of Exercise: The option exercise price is typically payable in cash or by check,
but may also be payable, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in other forms of
consideration. |
|
|
|
|
Termination of Employment: Options cease vesting on the date of termination of service
or death of the participant. Options granted under the plan generally expire three months
after the termination of the optionees service to Symantec or a parent or subsidiary of
Symantec, except in the case of death or disability, in which case the options generally may
be exercised up to 12
months following the date of death or termination of service. However, if the optionee is
terminated for cause, the optionees options expire upon termination of employment. |
35
Corporate Transactions. In the event of a change of control of Symantec (as defined in the
plan), the buyer may either assume the outstanding awards or substitute equivalent awards. In the
event the buyer fails to assume or substitute awards issued under the plan, all awards will expire
upon the closing of the transaction.
Term and Amendment of the Plan. The plan was terminated in September 2004, except that
outstanding options granted thereunder will remain in place for the term of such options.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures
Symantec has adopted a written related person transactions policy which provides for the
Companys policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval
or ratification of related person transactions. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews
transactions that may be related person transactions, which are transactions between Symantec and
any related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed
$120,000, and in which the related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
For purposes of the policy, a related person is any Symantec executive officer, director, nominee
for director, or stockholder holding more than 5% of any class of Symantecs voting securities, in
each case, since the beginning of the previous fiscal year, and their immediate family members.
Under the policy, absent any facts or circumstances indicating special or unusual benefits to
the related person, the following transactions are deemed not to be related person transactions
(meaning the related person is deemed to not have a direct or indirect material interest in the
transaction):
|
|
|
compensation to executive officers determined by Symantecs Compensation Committee; |
|
|
|
|
any transaction with another company at which a related person is a director or an
employee (other than an executive officer) if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed
the greater of $2,000,000, or three percent of that companys total annual gross revenues,
provided that the transaction involves the purchase of either companys goods and services
and the transaction is subject to usual trade terms and is in the ordinary course of
business and the related person is not involved in the negotiation of the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in
Symantecs proxy statement; |
|
|
|
|
any transaction where the related persons interest arises solely from the ownership of
the Companys common stock and all holders of the Companys common stock received the same
benefit on a pro rata basis; |
|
|
|
|
any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by Symantec or the Symantec Foundation to
a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related persons only
relationship is as a director or an employee (other than an executive officer), if the
aggregate amount involved does not exceed $120,000, or any non-discretionary matching
contribution, grant or endowment made pursuant to a matching gift program; |
|
|
|
|
any transaction where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids; |
|
|
|
|
any transaction involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier, or
public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority;
or |
|
|
|
|
any transaction involving services as a bank depositary of funds, transfer agent,
registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar services. |
Under the policy, members of Symantecs legal department review transactions involving related
persons that do not fall into one of the above categories. If they determine that a related person
could have a significant interest in a transaction, the transaction is referred to the Nominating
and Governance Committee. In addition, transactions may be identified through Symantecs Code of
Conduct or other Symantec policies and procedures, and reported to the Nominating and Governance
Committee. The Nominating and
Governance Committee determines whether the related person has a material interest in a
transaction and may approve, ratify, rescind or take other action with respect to the transaction.
36
Certain Related Person Transactions
In July 2009, Symantec entered into a dry-lease agreement for an aircraft with a company owned
by Mr. Thompson, our Chairman. Pursuant to the agreement, Symantec leases the aircraft on a
non-exclusive basis from Mr. Thompsons company from time to time solely for Mr. Thompsons
business-related travel, at a dry-lease rate of $1,650 per flight hour. Pursuant to an agreement
with an unrelated party, Symantec has also agreed to pay the variable operating costs of Mr.
Thompsons business travel on this aircraft. The arrangement was approved by the Nominating and
Governance Committee of our Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee has determined that the
amounts billed by Mr. Thompsons company for our use of the aircraft are at or below the market
rates charged by third-party commercial charter companies for similar aircraft. Symantec paid
$129,690 under this arrangement during fiscal 2011.
Board Independence
It is the policy of the Board and NASDAQs rules require listed companies to have a board of
directors with at least a majority of independent directors, as defined under NASDAQs Marketplace
Rules. Currently, each member of our Board, other than our Chief Executive Officer, Enrique Salem,
and our Chairman of the Board, John W. Thompson, is an independent director and all standing
committees of the Board are composed entirely of independent directors, in each case under NASDAQs
independence definition. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests,
such as that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of
business dealings with the Company. In addition, the Board has made a subjective determination as
to each independent director that no relationship exists which, in the opinion of the Board, would
interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a
director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided
by the directors and the Company with regard to each directors business and other activities as
they may relate to Symantec and our management. Based on this review and consistent with our
independence criteria, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following directors are
independent: Stephen M. Bennett, Michael A. Brown, William T. Coleman, Frank E. Dangeard, Geraldine
B. Laybourne, David L. Mahoney, Robert S. Miller, Daniel H. Schulman, and V. Paul Unruh.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
We regularly review the services and fees from our independent registered public accounting
firm, KPMG LLP. These services and fees are also reviewed with the Audit Committee annually. In
accordance with standard policy, KPMG periodically rotates the individuals who are responsible for
Symantecs audit. Symantecs Audit Committee has determined that the providing of certain non-audit
services, as described below, is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG.
In addition to performing the audit of Symantecs consolidated financial statements, KPMG
provided various other services during fiscal years 2011 and 2010. Symantecs Audit Committee has
determined that KPMGs provisioning of these services, which are described below, does not impair
KPMGs independence from Symantec. The aggregate fees billed for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 for
each of the following categories of services are as follows:

The categories in the above table have the definitions assigned under Item 9 of Schedule 14A
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and these categories include in particular
the following components:
(1) Audit fees include fees for audit services principally related to the year-end
examination and the quarterly reviews of Symantecs consolidated financial statements,
consultation on matters that arise during a review or audit, review of SEC filings, audit
services performed in connection with Symantecs acquisitions and statutory audit fees.
(2) Audit related fees include fees which are for assurance and related services other
than those included in Audit fees.
(3) Tax fees include fees for tax compliance and advice.
(4) All other fees include fees for all other non-audit services, principally for
services in relation to certain information technology audits.
37
An accounting firm other than KPMG performs supplemental internal audit services for Symantec.
Another accounting firm provides the majority of Symantecs outside tax services.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committees policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services
provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit
services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to
the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The
independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to
the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public
accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to
date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
All of the services relating to the fees described in the table above were approved by the
Audit Committee.
