certain competitors' financial results. See "Analysis of compensation determinations - Bonus - Assessment of 2016
performance" for details of the Compensation Committee's assessment of TI's performance. (It is important to note that
the median growth rate of competitor companies includes the effect of acquisitions, whereas TI's growth rate is entirely
organic. If the effect of acquisitions were excluded from competitor companies, we estimate that TI's growth rate would
be at or above the median growth rate.)
Our executive compensation program is designed to encourage executive officers to pursue strategies that serve the
interests of the company and shareholders, and not to promote excessive risk-taking by our executives. It is built on a
foundation of sound corporate governance and includes:
о
Executive officers do not have employment contracts and are not guaranteed salary increases, bonus amounts or
awards of equity compensation.
• We have never repriced stock options. We do not grant reload options. We grant equity compensation with double-
trigger change-in-control terms, which accelerate the vesting of grants only if the grantee has been terminated
involuntarily within a limited time after a change in control of the company.

Bonus and equity compensation awards are subject to clawback as described under "Recoupment policy" below.
We do not provide excessive perquisites. We provide no tax gross-ups for perquisites.
We do not guarantee a return or provide above-market returns on compensation that has been deferred.
Pension benefits are calculated on salary and bonus only; the proceeds earned on equity or other performance awards
are not part of the pension calculation.
