SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Companys executive officers and directors to file reports of their ownership, and changes in ownership, of such securities with the SEC. Executive officers and directors are required by the SECs regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16 and the Company is required to report in this Proxy Statement any failure of its directors and executive officers to file by the relevant due date any of these reports during fiscal year 2002. Based solely upon a review of the copies of the reports received by it, the Company believes that all such filing requirements were satisfied, except that Messrs. Farrell and Heasley filed one late report each for transactions in 2002. The failure to timely file such reports were inadvertent errors by the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Compensation Committee is currently composed of three independent directors including Messrs. Lane, Talbot and Thompson. During fiscal 2002, no member of the Compensation Committee was a former or current officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during that year, no executive officer of the Company served (i) as a member of the compensation committee or board of directors of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Board of Directors.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
General
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and administering the policies that govern executive compensation and benefit practices. The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of the executive officers and determines their compensation levels, in terms of salary, annual bonus and related benefits, all subject to Board approval. The Compensation Committee has access to independent compensation data for use in assessing levels of compensation for officers of the Company.
Compensation Philosophy
The Companys executive compensation programs are designed to (i) provide levels of compensation that integrate pay and incentive plans with the Companys strategic goals, so as to align the interests of executive management with the long-term interests of the stockholders; (ii) motivate Company executives to achieve the strategic business goals of the Company and to recognize their individual contributions; and (iii) provide compensation opportunities which are competitive to those offered by other national title insurance companies and other corporations similar in size and performance. Although the exact identity of the corporations surveyed varies, these generally include title companies and other corporations equal to or larger than the Company. The Compensation Committee believes that the components of executive compensation should include base salary, annual cash bonus, stock option grants and other benefits and should be linked to individual and Company performance. With regard to the Companys performance, the measures used for determining appropriate levels of compensation for executive officers include the Companys national market share, net margin, quality of service, meeting strategic goals within the current economic climate and industry environment, scope of responsibilities, expansion by acquisition or otherwise, and profit retention and profitability, all of which combine to enhance stockholder value.
The Committee approves employment agreements and salary and bonus levels for key employees, including Mr. Foley, Mr. Stone (during 2002), Mr. Quirk, Mr. Abbinante, Mr. Maudsley and Mr. Smith. The Compensation Committee then makes recommendations with respect to such compensation to the entire Board of Directors for its approval. In fiscal 2002, Compensation Committee retained a consulting firm to review and advise on benefits plans and other compensation initiatives for the Companys senior executives. As part of its review process, the Compensation Committee approved the Annual Incentive Plan, which governs the incentive compensation payable to Mr. Foley and certain other executive officers.
13
Compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Fiscal 2002
Mr. Foleys compensation for 2002 was determined pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement in effect during that period which is described above under the heading Employment Agreements. His employment agreement provided him with a minimum base annual salary, which may be reviewed and increased at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to reflect matters including cost of living increases and performance results. Mr. Foley also received a cash bonus, which was determined pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan by the Compensation Committee. Under the program, Mr. Foley had varying performance-based bonus levels that were expressed as a percentage of his base salary, based upon the Companys return on equity and earnings. The Compensation Committee established threshold, target and maximum expectations for each performance measure. In 2002, the Company exceeded target expectations for return on equity, earnings, and obtained maximum expectations for merger synergies. The applicable target bonus amount was established by the Compensation Committee to be 300% of his base salary. Under the terms of his employment agreement, the Company, through the Compensation Committee, has the discretion to award stock options to Mr. Foley. Mr. Foley received stock options in 2002 exercisable for an aggregate of 221,000 shares of common stock. Of these options, 47,666 shares vested upon date of grant and the remainder vest in three equal annual installments.
Compensation of Other Executives for Fiscal 2002
With respect to the base salaries and incentive cash bonuses awarded to other executive officers who were parties to employment agreements with the Company in respect of 2002, the Compensation Committee approved these amounts pursuant to the executives employment agreements and the Annual Incentive Plan administered by the Compensation Committee. With respect to the base salaries and incentive cash bonuses awarded to the Companys other executive officers, the decision of the Compensation Committee for each such executive officer is subjective and was made after consideration of the performance of the executive in his particular area of responsibility, the executives contribution to the Companys overall management team and an assessment of the future contributions the executive should be able to make to the Company. Under the terms of the executive bonus program, the executive officers received a cash bonus based upon specified target levels and the Companys return on equity and cost savings resulting from merger synergies related to the acquisition by the Company of Chicago Title Corporation.
Stock Option Grants
As indicated above, an important element of the Companys compensation philosophy is the desire to align the interests of the executive officers with the long-term interests of the Companys stockholders. The purpose of the Companys stock option plans is to attract, retain and award executive officers and directors and to furnish incentives to these persons to improve operations, increase profits and positively impact the Companys long-term performance. Consistent with these objectives, the Compensation Committee granted options in 2002 to executive officers for their performance in 2002.
As additional incentive compensation, certain executive officers are permitted to participate in a program pursuant to which the officer can defer a portion of his bonus and apply the deferred amount to reduce the exercise price of stock options granted to him. In 2002, Mr. Foley, Mr. Stone, Mr. Quirk, and Mr. Smith participated in this bonus deferral program.
Corporate Deduction for Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits to $1.0 million the corporate deduction for compensation paid to certain executive officers, unless certain requirements are met. The Companys policy with respect to the deductibility limit of Section
14
162(m) generally is to preserve the federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers. However, while the tax impact of any compensation arrangement is an important factor to be considered, the impact is evaluated in light of the Companys overall compensation philosophy. Accordingly, the Company has and will continue to authorize the payment of non-deductible compensation if it deems that it is consistent with its compensation philosophy and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
