Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Adoption of Executive Incentive Plan Performance Goals for the First Half of Calendar Year 2008
     On January 31, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) established corporate performance goals for the first half of its calendar year 2008 incentive plan for certain of its officers other than the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, including Martin B. Anstice, Abdi Hariri, Thomas J. Bondur, Richard A. Gottscho and Ernest E. Maddock as well as certain other non-executive officers. The 2008 incentive plan provides for the payment of incentive bonuses upon achievement of certain corporate, organizational and individual performance objectives. The corporate performance objective is based on the Company’s operating profit. Each officer was assigned a target percentage of his or her base salary for the period, and the calculated incentive amounts may range from zero to 2.25 times the target amounts based on the achievement of the specified performance objectives. The calculated bonus amounts will vary to the extent that the actual performance exceeds or falls below performance targets. The amount of the final incentive payments is subject to the discretion of the Committee and may vary from the calculated incentive amount. The performance goals established for the first half of the year shall continue for the second half of the year unless the Committee determines to revise the goals for the second half of 2008.
Adoption of Multi-Year Cash Incentive Plan Performance Goals
     On January 31, 2008, the Committee also established performance goals and award amounts for 2008, the second calendar year of its 2007/2008 Multi-Year Incentive Plan (“2007/2008 MYIP”) and the first calendar year of its 2008/2009 Multi-Year Incentive Plan (“2008/2009 MYIP”) for Mr. Anstice, Mr. Hariri, Mr. Bondur, Mr. Gottscho and Mr. Maddock and certain other officers.
     The 2007/2008 MYIP is based on company performance during calendar years 2007 and 2008, and awards will vest and be paid in 2009. The 2008/2009 MYIP is based on company performance during calendar years 2008 and 2009, and awards will vest and be paid in 2010.
     Award amounts will be calculated quarterly based on Lam’s operating profits and the amounts so calculated may be enhanced based upon a stock price performance factor.
     Individual target amounts, based upon a multiple of each individual participant’s salary, were established for each participant. Actual award accruals may vary from 0 to approximately 2.5 times the target amounts depending upon the operating profit and stock performance metrics, as applicable. The Committee also retains discretion to reduce amounts that would otherwise be accrued under the programs.
