A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50 percent of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. Votes cast include votes “against” but exclude “abstentions” and “broker nonvotes” with respect to that director’s election.

Item 2:

Proxies signed, dated and returned unmarked will be voted FOR Item 2.

To be approved, Item 2 must receive the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the shares outstanding. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the item.

BOARD GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors has determined that the following persons served as independent directors in 2017 as defined by NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2): Dame Alison J. Carnwath, Beth E. Ford, Kirk S. Hachigian, Luiz Kaufmann, Roderick C. McGeary, Mark A. Schulz, Gregory M. E. Spierkel and Charles R. Williamson.

The Board of Directors maintains a corporate governance section on the Company’s website, which includes key information about its governance practices. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, its Board committee charters and its Code of Business Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are located at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/boardofdirectors.asp.

The Company’s leadership structure includes an Executive Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer and an independent lead director who serves for a three-year term. C. R. Williamson currently serves as lead director. This leadership structure, in which the roles of the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are separate, together with an experienced and engaged lead director and independent key committees, is appropriate for the Company at this time because it effectively allocates authority, responsibility and oversight between management, the Executive Chairman and the independent members of the Board.

The Company has policies to ensure a strong and independent board. The Board regularly meets in executive session without management. The lead director presides over the executive sessions of the Board’s independent directors. Seventy-three percent of the Company’s eleven current directors are independent as defined under NASDAQ rules.

The Board oversees risk through management presentations at Board meetings and through its Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees. The Audit Committee charter provides that the Committee shall discuss with management the Company’s risk exposures, including cybersecurity risk, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. As part of this process, the Committee receives periodic reports from the Company’s internal auditor and from its general counsel and the Committee reports to the full Board at least four times a year. The Compensation Committee oversees risk arising from the Company’s compensation programs and annually reviews how those programs manage and mitigate risk. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees potential risks regarding governance by monitoring legal developments and trends.

Stockholders may contact the Board of Directors by writing to: The Board of Directors, PACCAR Inc, 11th Floor, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, WA 98009, or by e-mailing PACCAR.Board@paccar.com.

Suggestions or concerns involving accounting, internal controls or auditing matters will be directed to the Audit Committee chairman. Concerns regarding other matters will be directed to the individual director or committee named in the correspondence. If no identification is made, the matter will be directed to the Executive Committee of the Board.

The Board of Directors met four times during 2017. Each member attended at least 75 percent of the combined total of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board on which each served.

The Committee met five times in 2017.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for evaluating director candidates and selecting nominees for approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors. It also makes recommendations to the Board on corporate governance matters including director compensation.

The Committee has established written criteria for the selection of new directors, which are available at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/boardguidelines.asp. The criteria state that a diversity of perspectives, skills and business experience relevant to the Company’s global operations should be represented on the Board including international business, manufacturing, financial services and aftermarket customer programs. To be a qualified director candidate, a person must have achieved significant success in business, education or public service, must not have a conflict of interest and must be committed to representing the long-term interests of the stockholders. In addition, the candidate must have the following attributes:

The Committee considers the names of director candidates submitted by management and members of the Board of Directors. It also considers recommendations by stockholders submitted in writing to: Chairman, Nominating and Governance Committee, PACCAR Inc, 11^th Floor, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, WA 98009. Nominations by stockholders must include information set forth in the Company Bylaws. The Committee engages the services of a private search firm from time to time to assist in identifying and screening director candidates. The Committee evaluates qualified director candidates and selects nominees for approval by the members of the Board of Directors.

The Company’s Bylaws provide for proxy access by eligible stockholders. Stockholder nominations require compliance with Article III, Section 7 of the Bylaws.

The Nominating and Governance Committee charter describes the Committee’s responsibilities. It is posted at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/nominatingcommittee.asp.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The following table provides information on compensation for non-employee directors who served during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017:

Summary Compensation

11

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

In addition to the cash compensation described in footnote (a) above, on the first business day of the year, each non-employee director received $130,000 in restricted stock or restricted stock units under the RSDC Plan. The number of shares received is determined by dividing $130,000 by the closing price of a share of Company stock on the first business day of the year and rounding up to the nearest whole share. Non-employee directors newly elected during the calendar year receive a prorated award to reflect the number of calendar quarters the director will serve in the year of election. Restricted shares vest three years after the date of grant or upon retirement, death or disability. Directors receive dividends and voting rights on all shares during the vesting period. If non-employee directors elect to receive a credit to the stock unit account in lieu of a grant of restricted stock, the account is credited with the number of shares otherwise applicable to the grant of restricted stock and subject to the same vesting conditions as discussed below.

Non-employee directors may elect to defer all or a part of their cash retainer and fees to an income account or to a stock unit account under the RSDC Plan. The income account accrues interest at a rate equal to the simple combined average of the monthly Aa Industrial Bond yield averages for the immediately preceding quarter and is compounded quarterly. Stock unit accounts are credited with the number of shares of Company common stock that could have been purchased at the closing price on the date the cash compensation is payable. Thereafter, dividends earned are treated as if they were reinvested at the closing price of Company stock on the date the dividend is payable. Those electing stock units have no voting rights in the stock. The balances in a director’s deferred accounts are paid out at or after retirement or termination in accordance with the director’s deferred account election. The balance in the stock unit account is distributed in shares of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate number of deferred stock units accumulated in the deferral account of participating non-employee directors is reflected in footnote (b) to the Stock Ownership Table on page 4.

The Company provides transportation or reimburses non-employee directors for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services. It also pays or reimburses directors for expenses incurred to participate in continuing education programs related to their service as a PACCAR director.

Effective January 1, 2018, the $130,000 grant under the RSDC Plan has been increased to $150,000 per year; the $100,000 annual cash retainer has been increased to $110,000; the annual $10,000 fee paid to the chairman of each of the audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees has been increased to $15,000; and the annual $10,000 fee paid to the lead independent director has been increased to $25,000. Committee meeting fees of $5,000 per meeting paid to the directors for attendance at committee meetings remain the same.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors

Effective January 1, 2018, all non-employee directors are expected to hold at least five times their annual cash retainer in Company stock and/or deferred stock units while serving as a director. Directors have five years from date of appointment to attain this ownership threshold. All non-employee directors with five or more years of service have the required stockholding as of January 1, 2018.

¹ Adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income of $1.68 billion, excluding the one-time tax benefit of $173.4 million

Key Compensation and Governance Practices

The Company emphasizes pay for performance and equity-based incentive programs designed to compensate executives for generating outstanding performance for stockholders.

14

Compensation Program Objectives and Structure

PACCAR’s compensation programs are directed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), composed exclusively of independent directors. The programs are designed to attract and retain high-quality executives, link incentives to the Company’s performance and align the interests of management with those of stockholders. These programs offer compensation that is competitive with companies that operate in the same industries globally. PACCAR’s goal is to achieve superior performance measured against its industry peers. The Company has delivered 79 consecutive years of net income, paid annual dividends every year since 1941 and delivered excellent stockholder returns. The Company outperformed the S&P 500 index for the 15-year period ending December 31, 2017. Average annual total return to stockholders for the 15-year period was 15.1 percent versus 9.9 percent for the S&P 500. The compensation framework has these components:

Short-term performance compensation:

Long-term performance compensation:

The Committee believes that this combination of salary, cash incentives and equity-based compensation provides appropriate incentives for executives to deliver superior short- and long-term business performance and stockholder returns.

The Named Executive Officers and all U.S. salaried employees participate in the Company’s retirement programs. The Named Executive Officers also participate in the Company’s unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan described on page 29, which provides a retirement benefit to those employees affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and other qualified plan benefit limitations.

The Company does not provide any other significant perquisites or executive benefits to its Named Executive Officers.

Stockholder Approval for the Company’s Executive Compensation Programs

In 2017, stockholders voted on an advisory basis to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers (known as a “say on pay” vote), with 95 percent of the shares voting to approve the Company’s compensation practices. The Committee believes the stockholder vote affirms the Company’s conservative approach to executive compensation. The next “say on pay” vote will be held in 2020. In 2017, an advisory vote was taken on the frequency of review of our executive compensation program. A majority of the shares that voted on this proposal approved a three-year period for review of the executive compensation program.

15

Executive Compensation Criteria

The Committee considers a number of important factors when reviewing and determining executive compensation, including job responsibilities, Company performance, business unit performance, individual performance and compensation for executives among peer organizations. The Committee also considers the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer when determining compensation for the executives that report to him.

Industry Compensation Comparison Groups.    The Committee periodically utilizes information from published compensation surveys as well as compensation data from Peer Companies to determine if compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers is competitive with the market. The Committee believes that comparative compensation information should be used in its deliberations. It does not specify a “target” compensation level for any given executive but rather a range of target compensation. The Committee has discretion to determine the nature and extent to which it will use comparative compensation data.

Role of Compensation Consultants.    The Committee periodically retains a compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s compensation programs. In 2016, the Committee retained Mercer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh and McLennan Companies, to evaluate the executive base salaries and total compensation structure, which were previously reviewed in 2015. Mercer compiled compensation data from the Company’s Peer Companies, as well as from a Mercer study concerning executive compensation in the United States and a Willis Towers Watson survey. Mercer provided the Committee with aggregated data obtained from the surveyed companies. The review found that the Company’s salary structure midpoints were on average six percent below the market median and the base salaries for the executive officers were on average 10 percent below the market median. Mercer reported its findings to the Committee and proposed a revised salary structure with midpoints increased six percent to approximately the market median. The Committee adopted the proposed executive salary structure effective January 1, 2017.

Peer Companies.    As part of its analysis of comparative data, the Committee includes compensation data from Peer Companies. In particular, the Company measures its financial performance against Peer Companies when evaluating achievement of the cash portion of the LTIP Company performance goal. The Committee reviews the composition of the Peer Companies annually to ensure the companies are appropriate for comparative purposes. The Peer Companies are listed below. The Peer Group Index is listed on page 36.

16

Elements of Total Compensation

The Company’s executive compensation program is comprised of base salaries, annual incentive cash and long-term incentives consisting of cash, stock options and restricted stock.

Compensation Mix.    The Company’s executive compensation program structure includes a balance of salary and annual and long-term incentives, including Company equity. For 2017, the Committee approved target allocations as displayed below. The Company believes these allocations promote its objectives of profitable growth and superior long-term results, which benefit stockholders.

Base Salary.    Base salary provides a level of compensation that is competitive with industry Peer Companies to attract and retain high-caliber executives. The midpoints of the base salary ranges are set at approximately the market median of the 2016 Mercer report with the minimum salary at 70 percent of the midpoint and the maximum salary at 130 percent of the midpoint. An executive officer’s actual salary relative to this salary range reflects his or her responsibility, experience, tenure with the Company and individual performance.

The Committee reviews base salaries every 12 to 24 months and may or may not approve changes. Consistent with this practice, the Committee reviewed the salary of each Named Executive Officer in 2017. The

17

Committee considered performance, the addition of new responsibilities and the midpoint in the Mercer 2016 salary report. The Chief Executive Officer suggested salary revisions for the other Named Executive Officers. The Committee approved the salary percentage increases for 2017 as follows: H. C. Schippers, 40 percent, reflecting his promotion and expanded responsibilities as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and for his contribution towards increased business unit profit margins and market share; G. L. Moore, 27.3 percent, reflecting his expanded responsibilities as Executive Vice President and for his contribution towards increased business unit profit margins and market share; R. A. Bengston, 11.1 percent; and T. K. Quinn, 4.5 percent. The Committee believes these increases align the Named Executive Officers with the salaries of the median of the industry Peer Group reflecting current market trends and the additional responsibilities that some of the Named Executive Officers have assumed over the past 12 months. R. J. Christensen retired on February 1, 2017 and received a restricted stock award for meeting the 2016 performance goal under the long-term incentive program described below. The Committee believes that the base salary of each Named Executive Officer is appropriate based on scope of responsibility, experience, tenure with the Company, individual performance and competitive pay practices.

Annual Incentive Cash Compensation (“IC”).    This program provides yearly cash incentives for the Named Executive Officers to achieve annual Company profit and business unit goals. Subject to the funding maximums established by the Committee that are described below under the heading “IC Funding Limit for 162(m) Purposes”, the Committee sets annual performance goals and a threshold, target and maximum award for each Named Executive Officer, expressed as a percentage of base salary. 2017 awards are measured on a sliding scale as follows:

A hallmark of the annual cash incentive program has been a consistent and rigorous focus on achieving the Company’s annual net income goal. The Committee has chosen net income, not EBITDA or operating profit, as the chief financial metric for this program because it is the primary indicator of corporate performance to stockholders. When setting incentive compensation goals for the Named Executive Officers, the Committee believes that corporate performance is an appropriate measure of individual performance. Accordingly, the majority of the 2017 annual incentive compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and a substantial portion of the annual incentive compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers is based upon Company net income performance. The net income goal is proposed by Company management and approved by the Board and the Committee before or within the first 90 days of each year. The target level represents an amount of net income that the Committee determines is attainable with excellent performance under expected economic conditions. The remaining goals for the other Named Executive Officers were based upon individual business unit or leadership criteria determined by the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee assesses annual goal achievement and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers.

For 2017, the Company’s net income target was $1.23 billion with a minimum incentive compensation threshold of $.93 billion and a maximum incentive compensation threshold of $1.63 billion. Actual net income achieved was $1.68 billion, including a $173.4 million tax benefit from the new U.S. tax law. This one-time tax benefit was excluded for purposes of calculating 2017 goal attainment. Adjusted net income of $1.50 billion was the figure used in calculating the 2017 incentive compensation awards. The Committee approved award payments of 154.4 percent of the net income target award, which corresponds with achievement of 127.2 percent of the net income goal for each eligible Named Executive Officer. The Committee approved an overall payment for R. E. Armstrong of 155.8 percent of target, based on 127.2 percent achievement of the Company profit goal and 130 percent for his leadership in achieving the Company’s strategic initiatives. The Committee approved an overall payment for H. C. Schippers of 149.0 percent of target, including 120.3 percent achievement of the business unit profit goal and 125 percent achievement for his leadership of Company growth initiatives. The Committee approved an overall payment for G. L. Moore of 151.1 percent of target including 125.8 percent achievement of the business

18

unit profit goals and 120 percent achievement for his leadership of Company growth initiatives. The Committee approved an overall payment for R. A. Bengston of 128.4 percent of target including 98.2 percent achievement of the business unit profit goals and 120 percent achievement for his leadership of Company growth initiatives. The Committee approved an overall payment for T. K. Quinn of 152.2 percent of target including 129.3 percent achievement of the business unit profit goal and 120 percent for his leadership of Company growth initiatives. The Committee exercised discretion to reduce each Named Executive Officer’s maximum funding amount described below under the heading “IC Funding Limit for 162(m) Purposes” in determining payout as described above. The following table outlines the 2017 goals and incentive awards for each Named Executive Officer:

IC Funding Limit for 162(m) Purposes.    IC Awards for the Named Executive Officers are subject to the terms of the Senior Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan (the “IC Plan”) approved by the stockholders as required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the IC Plan is $4,500,000. Pursuant to the IC Plan, the Committee established a yearly funding plan limit for 2017 IC awards equal to a percentage of the Company’s net income (the “Annual Pool”) and assigned a percentage of the Annual Pool to each Named Executive Officer. The 2017 funding limit equaled three percent of the Company’s net income and the corresponding maximum share of such pool for the Chief Executive Officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers was 48.7%, 16.2%, 16.2%, 10.0% and 8.9%, respectively. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award otherwise payable to the Named Executive Officers under each officer’s funding maximum based on the achievement of the IC Plan goals, an assessment of individual performance and other factors within the discretion of the Committee. The Committee exercised such discretion in determining the IC awards for 2017 performance. The deductibility of performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) is discussed in more detail under “Effect of Tax Treatment” on page 23.

19

Long-Term Incentive Compensation (“LTIP”).    The Company’s long-term incentive program is based on a multi-year performance period and provides annual grants of stock options and cash incentive awards. The program also includes restricted stock, which is awarded to certain executives based on the attainment of an annual performance goal and vests over three years. The LTIP aligns the interests of executives with those of stockholders to focus on long-term growth in stockholder value. The 2017 target for each element of the long-term compensation program for each Named Executive Officer is calculated as a percentage of base salary as indicated in the table below:

Long-term incentive compensation cash award.    This program focuses on long-term growth in stockholder value by providing an incentive for superior Company performance that is measured against Peer Companies’ performance over a three-year period. Company performance is measured by the three-year change in net income, return on sales and return on capital (weighted equally) as compared to the Peer Companies (“Company Performance Goal”). Named Executive Officers and all executive officers are eligible for a long-term incentive cash award based upon three-year performance goals approved by the Committee with a new performance period beginning every calendar year. Subject to the funding maximums established by the Committee that are described below under the heading “LTIP Funding Limit for 162(m) Purposes”, the Committee approved the following goals for the 2017-2019 cycle:

The Committee believes that the three-year change in net income, return on sales and return on capital are excellent indicators of the Company’s performance against the Peer Companies. The Company has used this rigorous comparison goal for over 15 years. During that period the Company ranked above 50 percent of the Peer Companies in 12 of the 15 years, demonstrating excellent performance against the Peer Companies and providing superior returns to stockholders. The target amount will be earned if the Company’s financial performance ranks

20

above at least half of the Peer Companies. The maximum cash award amount will be earned if the Company’s financial performance ranks above all of the Peer Companies. No award will be earned if the Company’s financial performance ranks in the bottom 25 percent of the Peer Companies.

The remaining portion of the award for the Chief Executive Officer and the Named Executive Officers is based upon individual business unit and leadership goals determined by the Committee for the Chief Executive Officer, and by the Chief Executive Officer for the other Named Executive Officers, measured over a three-year performance cycle. The Committee assesses goal achievement for the prior three-year period in April following completion of the applicable cycle and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers at such time. Long-term incentive cash awards are measured on a sliding scale as indicated below:

In April 2017, the Committee determined cash awards for the three-year period ending December 31, 2016. For the 2014-2016 LTIP cycle, the Company ranked second among the twelve Peer Companies and the Committee approved a payout of 172.7 percent of target on the Company Performance Goal for each Named Executive Officer. The award for R. E. Armstrong was based 100 percent on the Company Performance Goal.

All other Named Executive Officers in the 2014-2016 LTIP cycle had goals in addition to the Company Performance Goal. The award for H. C. Schippers was based 35 percent on business unit profit at DAF and Leyland and 25 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that H. C. Schippers exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 139.1 percent of target. The award for G. L. Moore was based 40 percent on business unit profit at Kenworth and 30 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that G. L. Moore exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 167.8 percent of target. The award for R. A. Bengston was based 35 percent on business unit profit in Financial Services and 30 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that R. A. Bengston exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 126.3 percent of target. The award for T. K. Quinn was based 35 percent on business unit profit at Peterbilt and 40 percent on business unit leadership. The Committee determined that T. K. Quinn exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 161.2 percent of target. The Committee exercised discretion to reduce each Named Executive Officer’s maximum funding amount described below under the heading “LTIP Funding Limit for 162(m) Purposes” in determining payout as described above. The long-term cash awards for the 2015-2017 LTIP cycle have not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement because Peer Group comparison data was not available.

LTIP Funding Limit for 162(m) Purposes.    The maximum cash portion amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the LTIP program is $7,000,000. The LTIP awards for the Named Executive Officers are subject to the conditions of payment set forth in the Long-Term Incentive Plan for purposes of determining deductibility under Section 162(m). Pursuant to the LTIP, the Committee established a funding limit for the 2017-2019 LTIP performance cycle equal to one percent of the Company’s cumulative net income and the maximum share of such pool assigned to the Chief Executive Officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers was 52.0%, 15.0%, 15.0%, 9.5% and 8.5%, respectively. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award otherwise payable to the Named Executive Officers under each officer’s funding maximum based on the achievement of the LTIP goals, an assessment of individual performance and other factors within the discretion of the Committee. The deductibility of performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) is discussed in more detail under “Effect of Tax Treatment” on page 23.

Stock options.    The Committee includes stock options in its compensation program because stock options link the interests of executives directly with stockholders’ interests through increased individual stock ownership. Stock options are granted by the Committee once each year on a predetermined date after the fourth-quarter

21

earnings release and are not repriced, backdated or purchased by the Company. The number of options is determined by multiplying the executive’s base salary on the grant date by a target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Company’s stock on the first five trading days of the year. The exercise price of stock options is the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Options become exercisable at the end of a three-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant. A participant who elects to retire at age 62 with 15 years of service, but before age 65, has ten years from date of grant to exercise vested options and a prorated number of stock options which are not otherwise exercisable at the time of retirement will become immediately exercisable, and may thereafter be exercised by the participant at any time within ten years after the date of grant. A participant who retires at or after age 65 has the full term to exercise options and unvested options will continue to vest. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of a change in control.

The Compensation Committee granted stock options on February 7, 2017 in accordance with the target award percentages listed on page 20. All stock options granted in 2017 vest and become exercisable on January 1, 2020, and remain exercisable until February 7, 2027 unless the participant’s employment terminates earlier for reasons other than retirement, or the participant is demoted to an ineligible position.

Annual restricted stock program.    Performance-based restricted stock is included in the program because it links the interests of executives directly with stockholders’ interests through increased individual stock ownership and adds a performance goal that is tied to the success of our business. The Committee sets a Company performance goal on or before the first 90 days of the year, and restricted stock grants are made in the following year if the Committee determines that the performance goal is achieved. The number of restricted shares is determined by multiplying the executive’s base salary by the target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Company’s stock on the first five trading days of the year. The restricted shares are valued at the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock vests 25 percent on the first day of the month following the grant and an additional 25 percent on each succeeding first of January. Unvested shares are forfeited upon termination unless termination is by reason of death, disability or retirement. All shares vest immediately upon a change in control. Each Named Executive Officer has the same rights as all other stockholders to vote the shares and receive cash dividends.

The performance goal for 2017 was four percent after-tax return on revenue. The goal was determined based on the return on revenues of heavy- and medium-duty truck manufacturers in Europe and North America. Return on revenue is defined as net income divided by total revenues.

On February 7, 2018, the Committee determined that the 2017 performance goal was achieved and approved restricted stock consistent with the target award percentages listed on page 20. The restricted stock granted on February 7, 2017 for 2016 performance is included on page 25.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

The Committee applies the same compensation philosophy, policies and comparative data analysis to the Chief Executive Officer as it applies to the other Named Executive Officers. The Chief Executive Officer is the only officer with overall responsibility for all corporate functions and, as a result, has a greater percentage of his total compensation based on the overall financial performance of the Company. Under R. E. Armstrong’s leadership in 2017, the Company achieved record revenue and the second highest net income in the Company’s history. The Committee reviewed the Chief Executive Officer’s salary in 2017 versus the market data and approved a 12 percent salary increase, effective January 1, 2017.

Deferral of Annual and Long-Term Performance Awards

The Committee administers a Deferred Compensation Plan described on page 30 which allows eligible employees to defer cash incentive awards into an income account or a stock unit account. Both accounts are

22

unfunded and unsecured. This program provides tax and retirement planning benefits to participants and market-based returns on amounts deferred. Certain deferrals are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Payouts from the income account are made in cash either in a lump sum or in a maximum of 15 annual installments in accordance with the executive’s payment election. Stock unit accounts are paid out in Company stock either in a one-time distribution or in a maximum of 15 annual installments. Participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan is voluntary.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company’s executive officers are required to meet stock ownership guidelines that reflect alignment of senior executives’ long-term goals with that of the Company stockholders. The minimum number of shares of company stock and deferred stock units expected to be held by each category of executive officer is as follows: the Chief Executive Officer — five times base salary; other Named Executive Officers — three times base salary; and other executive officers — one times base salary. Company executive officers have three years from the first January after the executive first holds the qualifying position to attain the stock ownership target. The Committee reviews compliance with the guidelines each year. Executives who are not in compliance with the ownership threshold must retain all vested restricted stock and at least 50% of after-tax shares acquired through the exercise of stock options until the applicable stock ownership threshold is met. As of January 1, 2018, all executive officers either had achieved the stock ownership threshold or were within the time allowed to meet it.

Effect of Post-Termination Events

The Company has no written employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer or with any Named Executive Officer. Executive compensation programs provide full benefits only if a Named Executive Officer remains with the Company until normal retirement at age 65. In general, upon a termination without cause a Named Executive Officer retains vested benefits but receives no enhancements or severance. In a termination for cause, the executive forfeits all benefits except those provided under a qualified pension plan. Long-term cash incentives are prorated upon retirement at age 62, with 15 years of service, or death and are awarded at the maximum level upon a change in control. The annual restricted stock grants become fully vested at retirement, death or a change in control. The Company believes that the benefits described in this section help it attract and retain its executive officers by providing financial security in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. The fact that the Company provides these benefits does not materially affect other decisions that the Company makes regarding compensation. The Company maintains a separation pay plan for all U.S. salaried employees that provides a single payment of up to six months of base salary in the event of job elimination in a business restructuring or reduction in the workforce. The Named Executive Officers are eligible for the benefit on the same terms as any other eligible U.S. salaried employee.

Effect of Tax Treatment

Company policy is to structure certain compensation arrangements in a manner intended to preserve tax deductions for executive compensation under Section 162(m). Cash awards paid under either the IC Plan or the LTIP and stock options and performance-based restricted stock awards granted to Named Executive Officers who are subject to the $1 million dollar annual deduction limitation under Section 162(m) are subject to certain conditions of payment intended to preserve deductibility imposed under Section 162(m). The Committee can exercise discretion to reduce or eliminate any IC or LTIP award otherwise payable to the Named Executive Officers. The Committee retains the flexibility to pay compensation that is not fully deductible within the limitations of Section 162(m) if it determines that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders in order to attract, retain and reward outstanding executives. The Company offers compensation programs that are intended to be tax efficient for the Company and for the executive officers.

The exemption from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for performance-based compensation has been repealed under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), effective for taxable years beginning after

23

December 31, 2017. As a result of such repeal, compensation paid to executive officers in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017 and not subsequently modified. The scope of the transition relief is uncertain at this time and it is expected that further guidance will be provided by the Internal Revenue Service. The Committee will review such guidance and consider the impact of the Tax Act on the Company’s compensation programs.

Compensation Forfeiture

In the event the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in misconduct detrimental to the Company, including fraudulent conduct which results in a material inaccuracy in the Company’s financial statements, the officer may be terminated for “cause” and all unpaid compensation forfeited. Cause is defined to include: an act of embezzlement, fraud or theft; the deliberate disregard of the rules of the Company or a subsidiary; any unauthorized disclosure of any of the secret or confidential information of the Company or a subsidiary; any conduct which constitutes unfair competition with the Company or a subsidiary; or inducing any customer of the Company or a subsidiary to breach any contracts with the Company or a subsidiary. The provisions do not allow for recoupment of base salary which has been previously paid.

In the event the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in fraud that has caused or substantially contributed to material restatement of the Company’s financial statements, the Board in its discretion may recover from the officer or former officer any incentive compensation award which was based in whole or in part on financial results that were subject to a material restatement.

Changes Approved For 2018

Harrie Schippers was elected as the President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective January 1, 2018.

Conclusion

The Company’s compensation programs are designed and administered in a manner consistent with its conservative executive compensation philosophy and guiding principles. The programs emphasize the retention of key executives and appropriate rewards for excellent results. The Committee monitors these programs in recognition of the dynamic marketplace in which the Company competes for talent. The Company will continue to emphasize pay-for-performance and equity-based incentive programs that compensate executives for results that are consistent with generating outstanding performance for its stockholders.
