PROXY STATEMENT
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
General
The enclosed Proxy is solicited on behalf of LSI Logic
Corporation (referred to as LSI Logic or the
Company), a Delaware corporation, for use at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday,
May 11, 2006, at 9:00 a.m., local time, or at any
adjournment(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth in this proxy
statement and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The annual meeting will be held at the Fairmont
San Jose located at 170 South Market Street, San Jose,
California 95113. The address of the Companys principal
executive offices is 1621 Barber Lane, Milpitas, California
95035, and the Companys telephone number is
(408) 433-8000.
These proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about
April 3, 2006, to all stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting.
Record Date; Shares Outstanding
Stockholders of record at the close of business on the record
date of March 17, 2006 (the Record Date) are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. As of the
Record Date, 395,605,610 shares of the Companys
common stock, $0.01 par value, were issued and outstanding.
On the Record Date, the closing price of the Companys
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $11.18 per share.
How to Vote
Stockholders may vote by attending the meeting and voting in
person, by mailing the proxy card in the postage prepaid
envelope provided by the Company, by telephone, using the toll
free telephone number
1-800-690-6903, or by
Internet, using the Internet voting site
www.proxyvote.com. Stockholders will be asked to enter
the 12-digit control number located on their proxy cards to
proceed with voting by telephone or by Internet.
Revocability of Proxies
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by
the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to
the Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Company at the
Companys principal executive offices a written notice of
revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by
attending the meeting and voting in person.
Voting and Solicitation
On all matters other than the election of directors, each share
has one vote. See Election of Directors
Required Vote. The cost of soliciting proxies will be
borne by the Company. The Company has retained the services of
Georgeson & Company, Inc. to aid in the solicitation of
proxies from brokers, bank nominees and other institutional
owners. The Company estimates that it will pay
Georgeson & Company, Inc. a fee not to exceed $10,000
for its services and will reimburse it for certain out-of-pocket
expenses estimated to be
1
$10,000. In addition, the Company may reimburse brokerage firms
and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for
their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such
beneficial owners. Proxies may be solicited by some of the
Companys directors, officers, and regular employees,
without additional compensation, personally or by telephone.
Householding
In an effort to reduce printing costs and postage fees, the
Company has adopted a practice approved by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) called
householding. Under this practice, stockholders who
have the same address and last name and do not participate in
electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one
copy of the Companys proxy materials at that address,
unless one or more of these stockholders notifies the Company
that they wish to continue receiving individual copies.
Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to
receive separate proxy cards.
If you share an address with another stockholder and received
only one set of proxy materials and would like to request a
separate copy of these materials and/or future proxy materials,
please send your request to: LSI Logic Corporation,
1621 Barber Lane, MS
AD-115, Milpitas,
California 95035, Attn: Investor Relations or call
(408) 954-4710, or
you may visit the Companys website at www.lsi.com.
You may also contact the Company if you received multiple copies
of the proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy
in the future.
Quorum; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes
The required quorum for the transaction of business at the
annual meeting is a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by
holders of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the
Record Date. Shares that are voted For,
Against or Withheld From a matter are
treated as being present at the meeting for purposes of
establishing a quorum and are also treated as votes cast at the
annual meeting with respect to that matter (the Votes
Cast).
The Company intends to count abstentions for purposes of
determining both the presence and absence of a quorum and the
total number of Votes Cast with respect to any matter (other
than the election of directors). Broker non-votes will be
counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a
quorum for the transaction of business, but will not be
considered to be Votes Cast with respect to the particular
proposal on which the broker has expressly not voted.
Accordingly, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the
voting on a proposal that requires a majority of the Votes Cast
(such as the approval of a plan amendment).
Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals
Proposals of stockholders of the Company that are intended to be
presented by such stockholders at the Companys 2007 annual
meeting and that stockholders desire to have included in the
Companys proxy materials relating to such meeting must be
received by the Company no later than December 4, 2006,
which is 120 calendar days prior to the anniversary of this
years mail date, and must be in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations in order to be considered for possible
inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for that
meeting. Stockholder proposals that are not intended to be
included in the proxy materials for such meeting, but that are
to be presented by the stockholder from the floor are subject to
advance notice provisions described below under Other
Matters.
2
Other Matters
According to the Companys bylaws, in order to be properly
brought before the meeting, a proposal not intended for
inclusion in the Companys proxy materials must be received
by the Company no later than January 3, 2007, which is 90
calendar days prior to the anniversary of this years mail
date, and the notice must set forth the following: (a) a
brief description of the proposed matter and the reasons for
conducting such business at the meeting; (b) any material
interest of the stockholder in such business; (c) the name
and address of such stockholder as they appear on the
Companys books; (d) the class and number of shares of
the Company that are beneficially owned by the stockholder; and
(e) all other information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation 14A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If the notice does not comply
with the requirements set forth in the Companys bylaws,
the presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge
the matter.
The Company has not been notified by any stockholder of his or
her intent to present a stockholder proposal (including
nominations for directors) from the floor at this years
annual meeting. The enclosed proxy card grants the proxy holders
discretionary authority to vote on any matter properly brought
before the meeting.

BOARD STRUCTURE AND COMPENSATION

The Company has Standards of Business Conduct that apply to the
Companys directors, officers, and employees and cover
matters such as insider trading, conflict of interest,
compliance with laws, rules and regulations and responsibilities
for reporting illegal or unethical behavior. The Company has
also adopted a Code of Ethics for the Principal Executive and
Senior Financial Officers of the Company. Copies of these
documents are available on the Companys website at

Board Meetings and Committees
The Companys Board of Directors (the Board of
Directors or the Board) is the ultimate
decision-making body of the Company, except with respect to
those matters reserved for the approval of stockholders. The
Board is responsible for selection of the executive management
team, providing oversight responsibility and direction to
management and evaluating the performance of this team on behalf
of the stockholders. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance
Guidelines to assist it in the performance of its
responsibilities. These Guidelines are available on the
Companys website at www.lsi.com.
5
The Board of Directors has determined that all the directors
other than Mr. Corrigan and Mr. Talwalkar, including
those who serve on the committees described below, are
independent for purposes of Section 303A of the
Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange, and that
the members of the Audit Committee are also
independent for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board of Directors
based these determinations primarily on a review of the
responses of the directors to questions regarding employment and
compensation history, affiliations and family and other
relationships, and on discussions among the directors. The Board
also reviewed the relationships between the Company and
companies with which the Companys directors are affiliated.
The Board of Directors of the Company held a total of nine
meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Currently Mr. James Keyes serves as the Boards lead
independent director. The Board has an Audit Committee, a
Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee. The Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committees consist solely of non-employee independent
directors as defined by the New York Stock Exchange. The Board
appoints the members and chairs of the committees annually. All
committees operate under charters approved by the Board, which
are attached as appendices to this proxy statement and are also
available on the Companys website at www.lsi.com.
You may contact the Board of Directors by sending an email to
lead-director@lsil.com or board@lsil.com. In
accordance with instructions from the Board, the Corporate
Secretary to the Board reviews all correspondence, organizes the
communications for review by the Board, and posts communications
to the full Board or individual directors as appropriate. The
Companys directors have requested that certain items that
are unrelated to the Boards duties, such as spam, junk
mail, mass mailings, solicitations, resumes and job inquiries,
not be posted.
The Company customarily schedules Board and committee meetings
on the same day as the annual meeting of shareholders to
encourage and facilitate director attendance at the annual
meeting. Seven of the Companys then eight directors
attended the Companys annual meeting held in May 2005.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, all incumbent
directors attended more than the required minimum of 75% of the
aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and
meetings of the committees of the Board on which they served.
The Audit Committee, which consists of Dr. Currie, who
serves as its chairman, Messrs. Chu, Keyes, Norby, and
ORourke, held nine meetings during the last fiscal year.
The Audit Committee reviews the Companys accounting
policies and practices, internal controls, financial reporting
practices, contingent risks, and risk management strategies and
plans. The Audit Committee selects and retains the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm to
examine the Companys accounts, reviews the independence of
the independent registered public accounting firm as a factor in
making these determinations and pre-approves all audit and
non-audit services performed by the independent registered
public accounting firm. The Audit Committee regularly meets
alone with the Companys management, independent registered
public accounting firm, and the director of the Companys
Internal Audit Department, and grants them free access to the
Audit Committee at any time. All members of the Audit Committee
are financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted
by the Companys Board of Directors in its business
judgment. In addition, Messrs. Keyes, Norby and
ORourke are designated as financial experts of the Audit
Committee, as defined by SEC rules. Stockholders interested in
communicating with the Audit Committee may do so by sending an
email to auditchair@lsil.com. A copy of the charter of
the Audit Committee is attached to this proxy statement as
Exhibit A.
The Compensation Committee, which consists of
Mr. ORourke, who serves as its chairman,
Dr. Currie, Mr. Keyes, and Mr. Reyes, held 12
meetings during the last fiscal year. At least annually, the
Compensation Committee reviews the goals of the Companys
executive officer and director compensation plans, and amends
6
or recommends that the Board of Directors amend these goals if
the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate. The
Compensation Committee evaluates and reviews, at least annually,
the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and other
executive officers in light of those goals. Based upon such an
evaluation, the Compensation Committee establishes the
Companys overall executive compensation strategy, and, in
particular, determines the compensation structure for the Chief
Executive Officer and other executive officers. The Compensation
Committee reviews and approves the Companys stock option
and other stock incentive award programs and reviews, as needed
(with an independent consultant), executive compensation matters
and significant issues that relate to executive compensation.
Stockholders interested in communicating with the Compensation
Committee may do so by sending an email to
compensationchair@lsil.com. A copy of the charter of the
Compensation Committee is attached to this proxy statement as
Exhibit B.
|
|
|
Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee |
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held five
meetings during the last fiscal year. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee consists of Mr. Reyes, who
serves as its chairman, Mr. Chu, Mr. Keyes and
Mr. Norby. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in
recommending to the Board individuals qualified to serve as
directors of the Company and on committees of the Board of
Directors, recommending to the Board the director nominees for
the next annual meeting of stockholders, advising the Board of
Directors with respect to Board composition and procedures, and
whether to form or dissolve committees. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee also assists in advising the
Board of Directors with respect to the corporate governance
principles applicable to the Company and developing criteria for
oversight of the evaluation of the Board and management. A copy
of the charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee is attached to this proxy statement as
Exhibit C.
Although there are no specific, minimum qualifications for
nominees, each nominee to the Board of Directors is considered
on the basis of his or her likelihood to enhance the
Boards ability to manage and direct the affairs and
businesses of the Company, including, when applicable, to
enhance the ability of committees of the Board to fulfill their
duties and satisfy any requirements imposed by law, regulation,
or exchange listing requirements.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider
properly submitted stockholder recommendations for candidates
for election to the Companys Board of Directors at the
2007 annual meeting if received no later than December 4,
2006. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses the
same criteria described above in assessing candidates
recommended by stockholders. The name of any recommended
candidate for director, together with a brief biography, a
document indicating the candidates willingness to serve
and evidence of the nominating persons ownership of
Company stock should be sent to the attention of the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee at
nominatingchair@lsil.com. Stockholders may use the same
email address to communicate other matters to the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee.
Compensation of Directors
Members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the
Company receive an annual fee of $35,000 and $2,000 for each
regular Board meeting they attend in person, plus reimbursement
of expenses for attendance at regular Board and committee
meetings. For additional telephonic meetings, members receive a
fee of $1,000 per meeting. In addition, the lead director of the
Board receives an annual payment of $5,000. Each director will
receive $1,000 for attending a committee meeting if the
committee meeting is not held in conjunction with a meeting of
the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, members
of the Audit Committee receive $1,000 for each Audit Committee
meeting they attend, regardless of whether it is held in
conjunction with a Board of Directors meeting. In addition, the
Audit Committees designated financial experts receive an
additional $5,000 for their services annually, and the Audit
Committee chairman receives an additional annual fee of $7,000.
7
On May 23, 2005, Mr. Corrigan became the non-employee
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. From May 2005
through the remainder of 2005, Mr. Corrigan received the
fees set forth above for all Board of Directors meetings he
attended.
From January 2005 through October 2005, certain non-employee
members of the Board of Directors were also members of the Board
of Directors of Engenio Information Technologies, Inc.
(Engenio), a
majority-owned subsidiary of
the Company, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company in October 2005. In return for their services to
Engenio, these individuals received an annual fee of $30,000,
$2,000 for each regularly scheduled meeting and $1,000 for each
telephonic meeting.
The Companys Amended 1995 Director Option Plan, as adopted
by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders,
provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options to
non-employee directors of the Company. Under a non-discretionary
formula approved by the stockholders, each non-employee director
is granted an initial option to purchase 30,000 shares of
common stock on the date on which he or she first becomes a
director. In addition, on April 1 of each year, each
non-employee director is automatically granted a subsequent
option to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock of the
Company, if on the date of grant he or she has served on the
Board of Directors for at least six months. The vesting schedule
for initial options granted under the Amended 1995 Director
Option Plan is set at 25% on each of the first four
anniversaries of the grant date. Subsequent option grants become
exercisable in full six months after the date of grant. Options
may be exercised only while the optionee is a director of the
Company, within 12 months after death or within three
months after the optionee ceases to serve as a director of the
Company for a reason other than death, but in no event after the
ten-year term of the option has expired. A total of
2,000,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under the
Amended 1995 Director Option Plan, of which
1,290,000 shares are subject to outstanding options,
15,000 shares have been issued upon exercise of options,
and 695,000 shares remain available for grant. On
April 1, 2005, an option to purchase 30,000 shares was
granted to each of Directors Chu, Currie, Keyes, Norby,
ORourke, and Reyes having an exercise price of $5.51 per
share (the market value on the grant date).
PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Nominees
Effective as of the annual meeting, the Board of Directors has
by resolution decreased the number of directors from nine to
seven. Accordingly, a Board of seven directors is to be elected
at the meeting. All directors are elected annually and serve
until the next annual meeting or until their successors have
been duly elected and qualified. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee selected and the Board of Directors
accepted the seven nominees named below for election to the
Board. All nominees are currently directors of the Company.
The Board of Directors expects all nominees named below to be
available to serve as directors if elected. If any nominee of
the Company is unable or declines to serve as a director at the
time of the annual meeting, the proxies will be voted for a
nominee designated by the current Board of Directors to fill the
vacancy. If additional persons are nominated for election as
directors, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received
by them in accordance with cumulative voting so as to elect as
many of the nominees listed below as possible. In such event,
the proxy holders will determine the specific nominees for whom
to vote.

The names of the nominees for election to the Board of
Directors, and the experience and background of each, are set
forth below. Ages are as of December 31, 2005.

Required Vote
Directors shall be elected by a plurality vote. The seven
nominees for director receiving the highest number of
affirmative votes of the shares entitled to be voted for them
shall be elected as directors. Votes against, votes withheld and
broker non-votes have no legal effect on the election of
directors due to the fact that such elections are by a plurality.
Every stockholder voting in the election of directors may
cumulate such stockholders votes and give one candidate a
number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected
(seven) multiplied by the number of votes to which the
stockholders shares are entitled, or may distribute the
stockholders votes on the same principle among as many
candidates as the stockholder sees fit, provided that votes
cannot be cast for more than seven candidates. However, no
stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes for a candidate
unless the candidates name has been properly placed in
nomination in accordance with the Companys bylaws prior to
the meeting, and the stockholder, or any other stockholder, has
given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the
stockholders intention to cumulate votes. The proxy
holders will exercise discretionary authority to cumulate votes
in the event that additional persons are nominated for election
as directors.
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote
FOR the proposed slate of directors for the current
year. Unless you indicate otherwise, your proxy will be voted
FOR each of the Companys nominees (except as
otherwise noted under Required Vote above).
PROPOSAL TWO
AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN TO INCREASE
THE
NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER
General
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) was
originally adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the
stockholders in April 1983. A total of 225,000 shares of
common stock were initially reserved for issuance thereunder.
From time to time since April 1983, the Board of Directors and
stockholders have approved amendments to the ESPP to increase
the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder and to
change certain other provisions. In addition, the Company
effected a three-for-two stock split in 1986 and two-for-one
common stock splits in 1995 and 2000. As of the Record Date, of
the 69,314,110 shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP
(without giving effect to the proposed amendment),
58,407,264 shares had been issued. The Company estimates
that it will have used a substantial portion of the 10,906,846
remaining available shares by the end of the exercise period
ending May 14, 2006, leaving an inadequate number of shares
available for future issuance.
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders to provide employees at all
levels with an opportunity for equity participation through
payroll deductions in the ESPP. The ESPP is an additional
incentive to contribute to the success of the Company. Employees
have
10
rated the ESPP as their most valuable benefit. As of the Record
Date, 76% of the eligible employees are participating in the
ESPP.
Proposed Amendment to the ESPP
On February 9, 2006, based upon a recommendation from the
Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the ESPP to increase the number of shares reserved
under the ESPP by 9,000,000 to a total of 78,314,110 shares.
The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance
under the ESPP as of the Record Date is 69,314,110, of which
10,906,846 shares are available for future issuance.
Management believes there may not be enough shares to meet
anticipated demand, as the lower price of the Companys
stock during the past year requires a greater number of shares
to satisfy enrollment requirements. Therefore, stockholder
approval is sought to increase the number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP by 9,000,000. If the
proposed amendment is approved, the total number of shares of
common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will be
78,314,110. The ESPP includes an annual replenishment (the
Annual Replenishment), which was previously approved
by the stockholders. The Annual Replenishment consists of 1.15%
of the Companys common stock issued and outstanding at
fiscal year end less the number of shares available for future
option grants under the ESPP at fiscal year end. No shares have
been added to the ESPP under the Annual Replenishment since
January 2001. The number of shares of common stock reserved for
issuance under the ESPP, as amended by this proposal, is
anticipated to be sufficient to meet the Companys
requirements for the next 12 months.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Votes Cast at the
annual meeting will be required to approve PROPOSAL TWO.
Summary of the ESPP
The essential features of the ESPP are outlined below.
The purpose of the ESPP is to provide employees of the Company
and its majority-owned subsidiaries with an opportunity to
purchase common stock of the Company at a discount through
payroll deductions.
Currently, the Board of Directors has designated the
Compensation Committee to administer the ESPP. All questions of
interpretation or application of the ESPP are determined in the
sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board of
Directors, and decisions are final and binding upon all
participants. Members of the Board of Directors who are eligible
employees are permitted to participate in the ESPP but may not
vote on any matter affecting the administration of the ESPP or
the grant of any option pursuant to the ESPP. No member of the
Board of Directors who is eligible to participate in the ESPP
may be a member of any committee appointed to administer the
ESPP. No charges for administrative or other costs may be made
against the payroll deductions of a participant in the ESPP.
Members of the Compensation Committee receive no additional
compensation for their services in connection with the
administration of the ESPP.
Any person who is employed by the Company (or by any of its
majority-owned subsidiaries designated by the Board) for at
least 20 hours per week and more than five months in a
calendar year is eligible to participate in the ESPP. As of the
Record Date, approximately 3,578 employees were eligible to
participate in the ESPP and approximately 2,711 of those were
participating.
11
The ESPP is currently implemented by consecutive overlapping
12-month offering
periods. The offering periods begin May 5 and
November 15 of each year. Each offering period consists of
two six-month purchase periods. The Compensation Committee has
the power to alter the duration of the offering periods without
stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the
scheduled beginning of the first offering period to be affected.
Eligible employees become participants in the ESPP by delivering
a subscription agreement to the Company authorizing payroll
deductions. An employee who becomes eligible to participate in
the ESPP after the commencement of an offering period may not
participate in the ESPP until the commencement of the next
offering period.
The purchase price per share at which shares are purchased under
the ESPP is the lower of (a) 85% of the fair market value
of a share of Company common stock on the enrollment date for a
12-month offering
period, or (b) 85% of the fair market value of a share of
common stock on the applicable purchase date within that
offering period. If shares are to be added to the ESPP at a time
when the fair market value of a share of common stock is higher
than it was on the enrollment date, then the Board of Directors
may, at its discretion, set the purchase price for the added
shares at the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of a share
of common stock on the date such shares are authorized by the
stockholders or 85% of the fair market value of shares on the
applicable purchase date within the offering period. The fair
market value of the common stock on a given date is determined
by the Compensation Committee based upon the closing sales price
as reported by The Wall Street Journal on such date.
|
|
|
Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions |
ESPP shares are purchased with funds that are accumulated
through payroll deductions during the offering period. The
deductions may not exceed 15% of a participants eligible
compensation, which is defined in the ESPP to include the
regular straight time salary as of each payday during the
offering period, payments for overtime, shift premium, incentive
compensation, incentive payments, bonuses and commissions, but
exclusive of other compensation. A participant may decrease the
rate of payroll deductions at any time in whole percentage point
increments (but not below 1%), and such decreases are
immediately effective. Increases in the rate of payroll
deductions may be made only at the start of a purchase period.
All payroll deductions are credited to the participants
account under the ESPP; no interest accrues on the payroll
deductions. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose and
such payroll deductions need not be segregated.
|
|
|
Purchase of Stock; Exercise of Option |
At the beginning of each offering period, each participating
employee is in effect granted an option to purchase shares of
common stock. The maximum number of shares placed under option
to a participant in an offering period is determined by dividing
the participants accumulated payroll deductions during the
purchase period by 85% of the fair market value of the common
stock at the beginning of the offering period or on the
applicable purchase date, whichever is lower. However, the
number of shares placed under option may not exceed
1,000 shares. Under no circumstances may an employee make
aggregate purchases of stock of the Company and its
majority-owned subsidiaries under the ESPP and any other
employee stock purchase plans qualified as such under
Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (Internal Revenue Code) in excess of $25,000
(determined using the fair market value of the shares at the
time the option is granted) during any calendar year.
Furthermore, no employee who owns 5% or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of
Company stock or the Companys subsidiaries stock,
including shares that may be purchased under the ESPP or
pursuant to any other options, will be permitted to purchase
shares under the ESPP.
12
A participant may terminate his or her participation in the ESPP
at any time at least 30 days prior to the purchase date by
signing and delivering to the Company a notice of withdrawal
from the ESPP. All of the participants accumulated payroll
deductions will be paid to the participant promptly after
receipt of his or her notice of withdrawal and his or her
participation in the current offering period will be
automatically terminated. No resumption of payroll deductions
will occur on behalf of such participant unless such participant
re-enrolls in the ESPP by delivering a new subscription
agreement to the Company during the applicable open enrollment
period preceding the commencement of a subsequent offering
period. A participants withdrawal from the ESPP during an
offering period does not have any effect upon such
participants eligibility to participate in subsequent
offering periods under the ESPP.
|
|
|
Termination of Employment |
Termination of a participants employment for any reason,
including retirement or death, cancels his or her participation
in the ESPP immediately. In such event, the payroll deductions
credited to the participants account will be returned to
such participant or, in the case of death, to the person or
persons designated in the subscription agreement. A participant
who receives payment in lieu of notice of termination of
employment shall be treated as continuing to be an employee
during the period in which the participant is subject to such
payment in lieu of notice.
If any change is made in the capitalization of the Company, such
as stock splits or stock dividends, which results in an increase
or decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding
without receipt of consideration by the Company, appropriate
adjustments will be made by the Company in the number of shares
subject to purchase and in the purchase price per share, subject
to any required action by the stockholders of the Company. In
the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, the offering period then in progress will terminate
immediately, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation
Committee. In the event of the proposed sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding
option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be
substituted by the successor corporation, unless the
Compensation Committee determines, in its discretion, to
accelerate the exercisability of all outstanding options under
the ESPP. The Compensation Committee may also make provisions
for adjusting the number of shares subject to the ESPP and the
purchase price per share if the Company effects one or more
reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other
increases or reductions of shares of the Companys
outstanding common stock.
|
|
|
Amendment and Termination of the ESPP |
The Compensation Committee may at any time amend or terminate
the ESPP, except that such amendment or termination may not
adversely affect an employees participation in an offering
period for which the employee has already enrolled. An offering
period may be terminated by the Compensation Committee on any
purchase date if it determines that the termination of the
offering period or of the ESPP is in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders. No amendment may be made to the
ESPP without prior approval of the stockholders of the Company
where such approval is necessary to comply with Section 423
of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., if such amendment would
increase the number of shares reserved under the ESPP or modify
the eligibility requirements).
Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been
adversely affected, the Compensation Committee shall
be entitled to change the duration of the offering periods,
limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount
withheld during an offering period, establish the exchange ratio
applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than
U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays
or mistakes in the Companys processing of properly
completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting
and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied
13
toward the purchase of common stock for each participant
properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participants compensation and establish such other
limitations or procedures consistent with the ESPP as the
Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion to be
advisable.
In the event the Compensation Committee determines that the
ongoing operation of the ESPP may result in unfavorable
financial accounting consequences, the Compensation Committee
may, in its discretion, modify or amend the ESPP to reduce or
eliminate such accounting consequences, including, but not
limited to, altering the purchase price for any offering period,
including an offering period underway at the time of the change,
shortening any offering period so that the offering period ends
on a new purchase date, including an offering period underway at
the time, and allocating shares.
|

|
Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Information |
The ESPP, and the right of participants to make purchases
thereunder, is intended to qualify under the provisions of
Sections 421 and 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under
these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant
until the shares purchased under the ESPP are sold or otherwise
disposed of.
Upon the sale or other disposition of the shares, the
participant will generally be subject to tax and the amount of
the tax will depend upon the length of time that the shares have
been held. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of more
than two years after the offering date and more than one year
after the purchase date, the participant will recognize ordinary
income equal to the lesser of: (a) the excess of the fair
market value of the shares at the time of such sale or
disposition over the purchase price, or (b) an amount equal
to 15% of the fair market value of the shares as of the
applicable offering date. Any further gain will be treated as
long-term capital gain. If the shares are sold or otherwise
disposed of before the expiration of these holding periods, the
excess of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase
date over the purchase price will generally be treated as
ordinary income, and any further gain or any loss on such sale
or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or
loss, depending on how long the shares have been held from the
date of purchase. Different rules may apply with respect to
participants subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company generally is not
entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or
capital gain to a participant, except to the extent of ordinary
income reported by participants upon disposition of shares prior
to the expiration of the two holding periods described above.
The foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income
taxation upon the participant and the Company with respect to
the purchase of shares under the ESPP, is not intended to be
complete and does not discuss the income tax laws of any
municipality, state or foreign country.
Participation in the ESPP
Participation in the ESPP is voluntary and dependent on each
eligible employees election to participate and his or her
determination as to the level of payroll deductions.
Accordingly, future purchases under the ESPP are not
determinable. Non-employee directors are not eligible to
participate in the ESPP. The following table sets forth certain
information regarding shares purchased under the ESPP during the
2005 fiscal year for
14
each of the Named Executive Officers, for all current executive
officers as a group and for all other employees who participated
in the ESPP as a group:

Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The effect of an
abstention is the same as that of a vote against the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan. Unless you indicate otherwise, your proxy
will be voted FOR the proposal.
PROPOSAL THREE
AMENDMENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE
THEREUNDER
General
The International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
IESPP) was adopted by the Board of Directors in
1996. A total of 300,000 shares of common stock were
initially reserved for issuance thereunder. From time to time
since 1996, the Board of Directors has approved amendments to
the IESPP to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance
and to change certain other provisions. In addition, the Company
affected a two-for-one common stock split in 2000. In May 2004,
the stockholders approved an amendment to increase the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the IESPP by one million
shares. As of the Record Date, of the 4,227,273 shares
reserved for issuance under the IESPP (without giving effect to
this amendment), 3,092,484 shares had been issued. The
Company estimates that it will have used a substantial portion
of the 1,134,789 remaining available shares by the end of the
exercise period ending May 14, 2006, leaving an inadequate
number of shares available for future issuance.
15
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders to provide international
employees at all levels with an opportunity for equity
participation through payroll deductions in the IESPP. The IESPP
is an additional incentive for foreign employees to contribute
to the success of the Company. As of the Record Date, 64% of the
eligible employees are participating in the IESPP.
Proposed Amendment to the IESPP
On February 9, 2006, upon a recommendation from the
Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the IESPP to increase the number of shares reserved
under the IESPP by 1,000,000 to a total of 5,227,273 shares.
The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance
under the IESPP as of the Record Date is 4,227,273, of which
1,134,789 are available for future issuance. Management believes
there may not be enough shares to meet anticipated demand, as
the lower price of the Companys stock during the past year
requires a greater number of shares to satisfy enrollment
requirements. Therefore, stockholder approval is sought to
increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for
issuance under the IESPP by 1,000,000. If the proposed amendment
is approved, the total number of shares of common stock reserved
for issuance under the IESPP will be 5,227,273. The number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the IESPP, as
amended by this proposal, is anticipated to be sufficient to
meet the Companys requirements for the next 12 months.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Votes Cast at the
annual meeting will be required to approve PROPOSAL THREE.
Summary of the IESPP
The essential features of the IESPP are outlined below.
The purpose of the IESPP is to provide employees of the
Companys international majority-owned subsidiaries with an
opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company at a
discount through payroll deductions.
Currently, the Board of Directors has designated the
Compensation Committee to administer the IESPP. All questions of
interpretation or application of the IESPP are determined in the
sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board of
Directors, and decisions are final and binding upon all
participants. Members of the Board of Directors and executive
officers are not eligible to participate in the IESPP. No
charges for administrative or other costs may be made against
the payroll deductions of a participant in the IESPP. Members of
the Compensation Committee receive no additional compensation
for their services in connection with the administration of the
IESPP.
Any person who is employed by the Companys
non-U.S. or
foreign subsidiaries for at least 20 hours per week and
more than five months in a calendar year and who does not own
five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value
of all classes of stock of the Company is eligible to
participate in the IESPP. As of the Record Date, approximately
616 employees were eligible to participate in the IESPP, and
approximately 394 of those were participating.
16
The IESPP is currently implemented by consecutive overlapping
12-month offering
periods. The offering periods begin May 15 and November 15 of
each year. Each offering period is composed of two six-month
purchase periods. The Compensation Committee has the power to
alter the duration of the offering periods without stockholder
approval if such change is announced prior to the scheduled
beginning of the first offering period to be affected.
Eligible employees become participants in the IESPP by
delivering a subscription agreement and corresponding country
addendum to the Company authorizing payroll deductions. An
employee who becomes eligible to participate in the IESPP after
the commencement of an offering period may not participate in
the IESPP until the commencement of the next offering period.
The purchase price per share at which shares are purchased under
the IESPP is the lower of (a) 85% of the fair market value
of a share of Company common stock on the enrollment date for a
12-month offering
period, or (b) 85% of the fair market value of a share of
common stock on the applicable purchase date within that
offering period. If shares are to be added to the IESPP at a
time when the fair market value of a share of common stock is
higher than it was on the enrollment date, then the Compensation
Committee may, at its discretion, set the purchase price for the
added shares at the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of a
share of common stock on the date such shares are authorized by
the stockholders or 85% of the fair market value of shares on
the applicable purchase date within the offering period. The
fair market value of the common stock on a given date is
determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the closing
sales price as reported by The Wall Street Journal on
such date. The exchange rate used for calculating the number of
shares of stock to be purchased with payroll deductions is the
NYSE composite exchange rate reported by Bloomberg Financial
System using the closing rate on the last Wednesday of the
fiscal month ending closest to the purchase date.
|
|
|
Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions |
IESPP shares are purchased with funds that are accumulated
through payroll deductions during the offering period. The
deductions may not exceed 15% of a participants eligible
compensation, which is defined in the IESPP to include the
regular straight time salary as of each payday during the
offering period, payments for overtime, shift premium, incentive
compensation, incentive payments, bonuses and commissions, but
exclusive of other compensation. A participant may decrease the
rate of payroll deductions at any time in whole percentage point
increments (but not below 1%), and such decreases are
immediately effective. Increases in the rate of payroll
deductions may be made only at the start of a purchase period.
All payroll deductions are credited to the participants
account under the IESPP; no interest accrues on the payroll
deductions. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose and
such payroll deductions need not be segregated.
|
|
|
Purchase of Stock; Exercise of Option |
At the beginning of each offering period, each participating
employee is in effect granted an option to purchase shares of
common stock. The maximum number of shares placed under option
to a participant in an offering period is determined by dividing
the participants accumulated payroll deductions during the
purchase period by 85% of the fair market value of the common
stock at the beginning of the offering period or on the
applicable purchase date, whichever is lower. However, the
number of shares placed under option may not exceed
1,000 shares. Under no circumstances may an employee make
aggregate purchases of stock of the Company and its
majority-owned subsidiaries under the IESPP and any other
employee stock purchase plans qualified as such under
Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code in excess of
$25,000 (determined using the fair market value of the shares at
the time the option is granted) during any calendar year.
Additional limitations may apply to the number of shares of
common stock that an employee of a particular country may
purchase.
17
A participant may terminate his or her participation in the
IESPP at any time at least 30 days prior to the purchase
date by signing and delivering to the Company a notice of
withdrawal from the IESPP. All of the participants
accumulated payroll deductions will be paid to the participant
promptly after receipt of his or her notice of withdrawal and
his or her participation in the current offering period will be
automatically terminated. No resumption of payroll deductions
will occur on behalf of such participant unless such participant
re-enrolls in the IESPP by delivering a new subscription
agreement to the Company during the applicable open enrollment
period preceding the commencement of a subsequent offering
period. A participants withdrawal from the IESPP during an
offering period does not have any effect upon such
participants eligibility to participate in subsequent
offering periods under the IESPP.
|
|
|
Termination of Employment |
Termination of a participants employment for any reason,
or reduction of the number of hours worked per week to below
20 hours cancels his or her participation in the IESPP
immediately. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to
the participants account will be returned to such
participant.
Employees may continue to participate in the IESPP during a
leave of absence that is approved by the Company subsidiary.
Unless an employee received regular straight time pay during a
leave of absence, he or she will not make contributions to the
IESPP during the leave. Contributions made to the IESPP prior to
an approved leave of absence will be used to purchase stock at
the end of the purchase period and payroll deductions will
resume at the time the employee returns to active status.
The transfer of an employee from one Company subsidiary to
another subsidiary or to the parent shall not alone be
considered a break in the continuous status as a regular
employee. In the event of such a transfer, the participation in
the IESPP would be subject to the new country addendum
applicable to the new Company subsidiary or to the terms of the
Companys ESPP if the employee transfers to the parent
Company.
If any change is made in the capitalization of the Company, such
as stock splits or stock dividends, which results in an increase
or decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding
without receipt of consideration by the Company, appropriate
adjustments will be made by the Company in the number of shares
subject to purchase and in the purchase price per share, subject
to any required action by the stockholders of the Company. In
the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, the offering period then in progress will terminate
immediately, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation
Committee. In the event of the proposed sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding
option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be
substituted by the successor corporation, unless the
Compensation Committee determines, in its discretion, to
accelerate the exercisability of all outstanding options under
the IESPP. The Compensation Committee may also make provisions
for adjusting the number of shares subject to the IESPP and the
purchase price per share if the Company effects one or more
reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other
increases or reductions of shares of the Companys
outstanding common stock.
|
|
|
Amendment and Termination of the IESPP |
The Compensation Committee may amend or terminate the IESPP or
any particular country addendum at any time, or withdraw a
Company subsidiary from the IESPP, except that such amendment or
termination may not adversely affect an employees
participation in an offering period for which the employee has
already enrolled. Without regard to whether any participant
rights may be considered to have been adversely affected, the
Compensation Committee shall be entitled to change the offering
periods, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts
withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit
payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a
participant in order to adjust for delays to mistakes in the
processing or properly completed withholding elections,
establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or
accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts
applied toward the purchase of Company common stock for each
18
participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participants compensation and establish such other
limitations or procedures as the Compensation Committee
determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent
with the IESPP.
Certain countries may prohibit employees from directly owning
Company common stock purchased on their behalf under the IESPP.
If local law so requires or if the Compensation Committee
determines that distribution of proceeds could not be
accomplished without undue liability or expense to either the
Company or the Company subsidiary, the Company subsidiary may
provide for maintenance of accounts with a third party fiduciary
for the benefit of those employees.
Depending on the tax rules of the foreign jurisdictions in which
participants of the IESPP reside, there may be ordinary income
to the participants at the time of their purchase of common
stock under the IESPP. If the participant recognizes ordinary
income in connection with his or her purchase of common stock
under the IESPP, the Company or its subsidiary operating in the
applicable foreign jurisdiction will generally be entitled to a
deduction in the same amount at the time such ordinary income is
recognized. The foregoing is only a general summary of the
effect of income taxation upon the Company with respect to the
purchase of shares under the IESPP, and does not discuss the
income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country.
Participation in the IESPP
Participation in the IESPP is voluntary and dependent on each
eligible employees election to participate and his or her
determination as to the level of payroll deductions.
Accordingly, future purchases under the IESPP are not
determinable. Non-employee directors are not eligible to
participate in the IESPP. No Named Executive Officers or other
executive officers participated in the IESPP in the fiscal year
2005. Employees eligible to purchase shares in the IESPP
purchased an aggregate 430,391 shares in 2005, which had a
net dollar value of $1,066,209 (which is the market value of the
shares on the date of purchase, minus the purchase price under
the IESPP).
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
approval of the International Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The
effect of an abstention is the same as that of a vote against
the International Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Unless you
indicate otherwise, your proxy will vote FOR the
proposal.

Change-in-Control and Employment Agreements
In November 2003, and periodically thereafter, the Company
entered into change-in-control severance agreements with the
Companys executive officers, except Mr. Corrigan and
Mr. Talwalkar, to help ensure the continued services of
management to the Company. Mr. Corrigans and
Mr. Talwalkars employment agreements are discussed in
this proxy statement in the section entitled CEO
Employment Agreements, below.
For purposes of the change-in-control agreements made with the
Named Executive Officers, a change in control of the Company is
deemed to have occurred in the event of (1) the
consummation by the Company of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or
consolidation that would result in the voting securities of the
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent more than 50% of the total voting power represented by
the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;
(2) the approval by the stockholders of the Company, or if
stockholder approval is not required, by the Board of Directors,
of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Companys assets; (3) any
person becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total
voting power represented by the Companys then outstanding
voting securities; or (4) a change in the composition of
the Board of Directors, as a result of which fewer than a
majority of the directors are incumbent directors.
Under the change-in-control agreements, if the executive
officers employment is terminated involuntarily at any
time within 12 months after a change in control, the
executive officer will receive a lump sum payment equal to the
sum of two years base salary plus 200% of the executive
officers target bonus for the year in which the change in
control occurs, and continued health-care benefits during the
two years following the termination. In addition, the vesting
and exercisability of all unexpired options, unvested restricted
stock and any other unexpired equity-based compensation awards
that were granted at least six months prior to the change in
control shall be automatically accelerated and fully vested and
exercisable at the date of the involuntary termination. An
additional payment will be made to an executive officer in order
to offset the effect of any excise taxes on payments made to the
executive officer under the change-in-control agreement, if
applicable. These agreements shall terminate in November 2008,
unless a change of control occurs, in which case the agreements
shall terminate upon the date that all obligations of the
parties have been satisfied.

CEO Employment Agreements |
|
|
|
Wilfred J. Corrigan Employment Agreement |
In September 2001, the Company entered into an employment
agreement (the Agreement) with Wilfred J. Corrigan,
the Companys Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer (CEO). The Agreement provided for
Mr. Corrigan to continue to serve as CEO and Chairman of
the Companys Board of Directors, and further provided for
an annual base salary as determined by the Board and an annual
bonus based on performance goals determined by the Compensation
Committee of the Board.
If the Company terminated Mr. Corrigans employment
other than for cause, or his employment terminated as a result
of death or disability, Mr. Corrigan would receive
36 months base salary, 300% of his target bonus for the
year in which termination occurred, 24 months of health,
dental and vision benefits, 18 months of life insurance
benefits and vesting of unexpired options granted in November
1999, April 2001 and after September 2001. With respect to each
such option, Mr. Corrigan would have the full term of each
option to exercise the vested part of the option. An additional
payment would be made to Mr. Corrigan in order to offset
the effect of any excise taxes on payments made to him under the
Agreement, if applicable. If Mr. Corrigan voluntarily
terminated his employment as CEO for any reason other than death
or disability and the Company did not ask him to remain as the
employee Chairman of the Board, Mr. Corrigan would receive
all of the payments and benefits described above. If
Mr. Corrigan voluntarily resigned for any reason other than
death or disability and the Company asked Mr. Corrigan to
remain as the employee Chairman of the Board and he agreed to do
so, Mr. Corrigan would receive the payments and benefits
described above, except for the accelerated option vesting.
Instead, unexpired options from grants after September 2001 and
from the two option grants made in November 1999 and April 2001,
respectively, would be converted to a monthly vesting schedule
such that all such options will vest within 36 months of
the resignation date. If Mr. Corrigan was terminated for
cause or if he voluntarily resigned and did not remain as the
employee Chairman of the Board following a Company request to do
so, he would not receive any of the payments or benefits
described above and instead, would receive only salary and other
benefits that accrued prior to his termination of employment or
as may be required by law.
On May 23, 2005, Mr. Corrigans status as an
employee of the Company ceased and he became the non-employee
Chairman of the Board of Directors. For a description of the
payments made to Mr. Corrigan in connection with this event,
refer to Executive Compensation Summary of
Compensation. In addition, on June 13, 2005, certain
stock option agreements related to prior stock option grants to
Mr. Corrigan as set forth in the Agreement were modified.
Accordingly, Mr. Corrigans fully vested nonstatutory
stock option to purchase 600,000 shares of Company common
stock (granted on August 15, 1997) and his fully vested
nonstatutory stock option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
Company common stock (granted on November 20, 1998) were
each modified to extend the exercise period for such options
through the term of each such option (a period of 10 years
from the grant date with respect to each stock option).

Abhijit Y. Talwalkar Employment Agreement |
On May 23, 2005, Mr. Abhijit Y. Talwalkar joined the
Company as President and Chief Executive Officer and entered
into an employment agreement with the Company (the
Talwalkar Agreement). The Talwalkar Agreement
provided the following:
Term of Talwalkar Agreement. The Talwalkar Agreement has
an initial term of two (2) years. The Talwalkar Agreement
provides that the initial term will be automatically extended
each year for an additional one (1) year term unless the other
party provides written notice of non-renewal at least
120 days prior to the date of automatic renewal that it is
electing not to extend the term. The Talwalkar Agreement may be
terminated at any time by either party with or without cause.
Salary. The Talwalkar Agreement set
Mr. Talwalkars annual salary at $800,000, effective
as of May 23, 2005 (the Effective Date). In
addition, Mr. Talwalkar would receive a signing bonus of
$500,000 within 30 days of the Effective Date.
26
Annual Incentive. The Talwalkar Agreement provides that
Mr. Talwalkar will be eligible to receive annual cash
incentives payable for the achievement of performance goals to
be established by the Board of Directors or a committee of the
Board of Directors. Mr. Talwalkars annual incentive
will be at least 100% of his base salary and 100% of target will
be guaranteed for his first year of employment.
Equity Incentives. Mr. Talwalkar was granted
nonstatutory stock options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of
Company common stock under the Companys 1991 Equity
Incentive Plan at an exercise price equal to the closing price
per share on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for
the common stock of the Company on the Effective Date. The
shares subject to such option will be scheduled to vest at a
rate of 25% on each anniversary of the grant over four years
assuming Mr. Talwalkars continued employment with the
Company on each scheduled vesting date.
Mr. Talwalkar was also granted nonstatutory stock options
to purchase 500,000 shares of Company common stock pursuant
to a non-shareholder approved arrangement at an exercise price
equal to $6.13 per share, which was the closing price per share
on the NYSE for the common stock of the Company on the Effective
Date. Subject to the provisions of the Talwalkar Agreement, the
terms and conditions of this grant are materially similar to
those of the grant made under the Companys 1991 Equity
Incentive Plan and will be scheduled to vest at a rate of 25% on
each anniversary of the grant over four years assuming
Mr. Talwalkars continued employment with the Company
on each scheduled vesting date.
In addition, Mr. Talwalkar was permitted to purchase
500,000 restricted stock units under the Companys 2003
Equity Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units will be
scheduled to vest at a rate of
1/3
on each anniversary of the grant over three years assuming
Mr. Talwalkars continued employment with the Company
on each scheduled vesting date. Any portion of this grant that
becomes vested will be settled in shares of Company common stock
promptly after vesting.
Within 15 days after the Effective Date, Mr. Talwalkar
was granted nonstatutory stock options to purchase
2,000,000 shares of Company common stock under the
Companys 2003 Equity Incentive Plan at an exercise price
equal to the closing price per share on the NYSE for the common
stock of the Company on the date of grant (the Additional
Option). The Additional option was granted on June 1,
2005, at an exercise price of $7.38 per share. The shares
subject to such option are scheduled to vest based on Mr.
Talwalkar attaining certain performance criteria determined by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Meeting
such criteria annually would results in accelerated vesting over
three years, at one-third of the total shares underlying the
options each year, subject to Mr. Talwalkars continued
employment on each scheduled vesting date. Vesting each year
requires that the Company meet certain metrics for both revenue
and operating profit. Cumulative metrics for both revenue and
operating profit must first be met before any test of current
year metrics and determination of vesting for that years
option shares can occur. If the metrics for both revenue and
operating profit are not met for a particular year, but the
cumulative metrics are met in a following year, the prior
years unvested option shares shall vest. The shares
subject to such options are scheduled to fully vest six years
after the date of grant, whether or not the performance goals
are met and subject to Mr. Talwalkars continued employment
with the Company on each scheduled vesting date.
Relocation Benefits. The Company will maintain an office
for Mr. Talwalkar in both Gresham, Oregon and Milpitas,
California. During the first three months from the Effective
Date, the Company will reimburse Mr. Talwalkar for all
reasonable and actual costs associated with leasing a furnished
apartment. In addition, during the first two years from the
Effective Date, the Company will provide Mr. Talwalkar with
a $5,000 per month housing allowance; and if Mr. Talwalkar
sells his home located in the state of Oregon and purchases a
new home in the San Jose, California area (or any other location
in proximity to the Companys then corporate headquarters)
within the first two years from the Effective Date, the Company
will reimburse Mr. Talwalkar for his reasonable and
documented closing costs (including the reasonable cost of a
brokers commission) associated with such sale and/or
purchase provided that Mr. Talwalkar complies with the
Companys then existing relocation policy, if applicable,
and provided that Mr. Talwalkar uses a third party
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to handle such sale.
Severance. In the event that the Company terminates
Mr. Talwalkars employment without cause or
Mr. Talwalkar resigns for good reason, and such termination
is not in connection with a change of control,
27
Mr. Talwalkar will receive continued payment of base salary
and health benefits for 18 months; payments in an amount
equal to 150% of Mr. Talwalkars target bonus for the
year in which the termination occurs; and 18 months
accelerated vesting with respect to Mr. Talwalkars
then outstanding, unvested equity awards with any such awards
that have annual time-based installment vesting instead deemed
to vest (for this purpose only) in monthly installments at the
same overall rate and with such vesting acceleration to be
measured beginning from the day immediately following the
immediately preceding annual vesting date (notwithstanding the
foregoing, the number of shares subject to the Additional Option
that will vest will equal 25% of the total number of shares
subject to the Additional Option less the number of shares that
actually vest prior to the termination date) and with a
post-termination exercise period equal to the earlier of
(a) 12 months from the date of termination or
(b) the applicable scheduled expiration date of such award
as set forth in the award agreement.
In the event that the Company terminates
Mr. Talwalkars employment without cause or
Mr. Talwalkar resigns for good reason, and such termination
is in connection with a change of control, Mr. Talwalkar
will receive continued payment of Mr. Talwalkars base
salary and health benefits for 24 months; the current
years target incentive compensation pro-rated to the date
of termination, with such pro-rated amount to be calculated by
multiplying the current years target incentive
compensation by a fraction with a numerator equal to the number
of days between the start of the current calendar year and the
date of termination and a denominator equal to 365; continued
payments in an amount equal to 200% of Mr. Talwalkars
target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs; and
full accelerated vesting with respect to
Mr. Talwalkars then outstanding unvested equity
awards with post-term exercise period equal to the earlier of
(a) 12 months from the date of termination or
(b) the applicable scheduled expiration date of such award
as set forth in the award agreement.
For purposes of the Talwalkar Agreement, the following terms are
defined as follows:
Cause will mean:
|
|
|
(i) Mr. Talwalkars willful and continued failure
to perform the duties and responsibilities of his position and

Stock Option Grants and Exercises
The following tables set forth information with respect to the
stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers under the
Companys stock option plans during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005, the options exercised by such Named
Executive Officers during such fiscal year and the options held
by the Named Executive Officers at December 31, 2005.
The Option Grants Table sets forth hypothetical gains or
option spreads for the options at the end of their
respective terms, as calculated in accordance with the rules of
the SEC. Each gain is based on an arbitrarily assumed annualized
rate of compound appreciation of the market price of 5% or 10%
from the date the option was granted to the end of the option
term and does not represent the Companys projection of
future stock price performance. Actual gains, if any, on option
exercises are dependent on the future performance of the
Companys common stock and overall market conditions.

The Company has not granted any stock appreciation rights. |
|
(2) |
Except as set forth below for certain additional options granted
to Mr. Talwalkar, the options shown in the column were
nonstatutory stock options granted under the 1991 Equity
Incentive Plan. The material terms of the options are as
follows: (a) the exercise price of the options is the fair
market value of the common stock as of the date of grant;
(b) the options vest cumulatively in equal 25% increments
on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant;
(c) to the extent unexercised, the options lapse after
seven years; and (d) the options are non-transferable and
are only exercisable during the period of employment of the
optionee (or within 90 days following termination of
employment), subject to limited exceptions in the cases of
certain terminations, death or permanent disability of the
optionee. These options are subject to acceleration of
exercisability in certain events. See Change-in-Control
and Employment Agreements above. |
|
(3) |
Mr. Talwalkar was granted nonstatutory stock options to
purchase 500,000 shares of Company common stock pursuant to
a non-shareholder approved arrangement at an exercise price
equal to the closing price per share on the NYSE for the common
stock of the Company on the grant date. Subject to the
provisions of the Talwalkar Agreement, the terms and conditions
of this grant are materially similar to those of the grant made
under the Companys 1991 Equity Incentive Plan and will be
scheduled to vest at a rate of 25% on each anniversary of the
grant over four years assuming Mr. Talwalkars
continued employment with the Company on each scheduled vesting
date. |
|
(4) |
Mr. Talwalkar was granted nonstatutory stock options to
purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company common stock under
the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares subject to such
option are scheduled to vest based on Mr. Talwalkar
attaining certain performance criteria determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Meeting such
criteria annually would results in accelerated vesting over
three years, at one-third of the total shares underlying the
option each year, subject to Mr. Talwalkars continued
employment on each scheduled vesting date. Vesting each year
requires that the Company meet certain metrics for both revenue
and operating profit. Cumulative metrics for both revenue and
operating profit must first be met before any test of current
year metrics and determination of vesting for that years
option shares can occur. If the metrics for both revenue and
operating profit are not met for a particular year, but the
cumulative metrics are met in a following year, the prior
years unvested option shares shall vest. The shares
subject to such option are scheduled to fully vest six years
after the date of grant, whether or not the performance goals
are met and subject to Mr. Talwalkars continued
employment with the Company on each scheduled vesting date. |
|
(5) |
Based on options granted to all employees in fiscal year 2005 to
purchase an aggregate of 13,893,058 shares of the
Companys common stock. |

These assumed rates of annual appreciation are specified by the

stock prices. |

Value of unexercised options is based on the difference between
the fair market value of Companys common stock of $8.00
per share as of December 30, 2005 (the last business day of
the last completed fiscal year), and the exercise price of the
unexercised in-the-money options. |
Certain Transactions
In 2005, the Company determined that the initial public offering
of Engenio was not likely to occur. In September 2005, the
Company purchased from each of directors Norby, ORourke,
and Reyes 2,500 shares of Engenio restricted stock issued
under the Engenio Plan. The purchase price was $8.93 per share,
which was the fair value of each share as of the buyback date,
as determined by the Engenio Board of Directors, with assistance
from outside consultants.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
ON CEO AND OTHER EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview and Philosophy
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
Compensation Committee) administers LSI Logics
executive compensation program. The role of the Compensation
Committee is to review and approve salaries and other
compensation of LSI Logics executive officers and
administer the chief executive officer and executive officer
incentive plans. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves
other Company compensation policies and oversees LSI
Logics stock plans, including reviewing and approving
stock option and restricted stock unit grants to LSI
Logics executive officers. The Compensation
Committees charter reflects these various
responsibilities. The Compensation Committee and the Board of
Directors periodically review and revise the charter, a copy of
which is attached as Exhibit B and is also available
on the Companys website at www.lsi.com.
The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of four
non-employee, independent members of the Board of Directors,
none of whom has any interlocking relationships as defined by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Compensation
Committee has available to it such external compensation advice
and data as the Committee deems appropriate The Compensation
Committee engaged a compensation consulting firm to assist the
Compensation Committee in its review of proposed 2005
compensation for the executive officers.
31
The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to provide a
comprehensive compensation package for each executive officer
that is well suited to support accomplishment of the
Companys business strategies, objectives and initiatives.
For incentive-based compensation, the Compensation Committee
considers the desirability to qualify for deductibility by the
Company under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code,
as amended. Section 162(m) provides that
non-performance-based compensation in excess of $1 million
paid to certain executive officers is not deductible by the
Company for tax purposes.
To maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a
manner designed to promote corporate goals, the Compensation
Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be
deductible. For example, the compensation package provided to
the Companys newly-hired President and Chief Executive
Officer includes certain compensation elements that may not
qualify for Section 162(m) deductibility, including, the
sign-on cash bonus, the guaranteed cash bonus, non-stockholder
approved options to purchase shares, and restricted stock units.
As the Compensation Committee applies this compensation
philosophy in determining appropriate executive compensation
levels and other compensation factors, the Compensation
Committee reaches its decisions with a view towards the
Companys overall financial performance.
|
|
|
EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION |
The Compensation Committee believes that a substantial portion
of aggregate annual cash compensation for executive officers is
contingent upon the Companys performance and an
individuals contribution to the Companys success.
The Compensation Committee aligns the interests of the
Companys executive officers with the long-term interests
of shareholders through stock option and restricted stock unit
grants that can result in ownership of the Companys common
stock. The Compensation Committee structures each executive
officers overall compensation package to attract, retain
and reward individuals who contribute to the success of the
Company.
The Companys compensation program for executive officers
is based on the following guidelines:
|
|
|
|
|
Establishment of base salary levels and participation in
generally available employee benefit programs based on
competitive compensation practices. |
|
|
|
Utilization of short-term cash incentives that are funded based
on Company financial metrics, and vary according to individual
contribution to that performance. |
|
|
|
Inclusion of equity opportunities that create long-term
incentives based upon increases in shareholder return. |
The Compensation Committee reviews executive officer
compensation levels utilizing information provided by an
independent consulting firm engaged by the Compensation
Committee to benchmark the Companys executive pay
practices against industry norms. The Compensation Committee
reviewed the 2005 benchmark study, which included 25 best
performing high technology companies, including semiconductor,
storage systems, storage components and networking companies.
The Company had a cash incentive plan based on 2005 performance
that provided for bonus awards to be made to the executive
officers (other than the chief executive officer) and other
members of senior management subject to an aggregate budget for
all awards under the plan. The plan established a minimum level
of operating income and revenue growth to be achieved by the
Company, as well as for its subsidiary, Engenio Information
Technologies, Inc., for 2005 before any payments would be made
under the plan. In addition, the plan provides for the Chief
Executive Officer to determine individual bonus award amounts
pursuant to his judgment of each participants personal
contributions to the Companys performance for the year,
subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee. The
Companys operating income and revenue growth exceeded the
threshold performance established under both LSI Logic and
Engenio plans. The Committee approved an incentive pool to award
to those individuals who contributed to the 2005
32
success of the Company and its Engenio subsidiary. The
Compensation Committee also approved base salary increases on
average of 3.8% for select incumbent executive officers,
effective March 1, 2005.
The Company maintains a set of guidelines for use in making
recommendations to the Compensation Committee on individual
option grants to executive officers to purchase common stock of
the Company. Stock option grants were made to certain executive
officers during 2005 by reference to the guidelines. These
guidelines are developed with data provided by external
published surveys and other information that are believed to
fairly reflect the competitive environment in which the Company
operates and that are consistent with the compensation
principles set forth above.
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and approved the total
compensation package of all Company executive officers,
including each of the components (base salary, bonus incentive,
stock options, restricted stock units, executive perquisites and
benefits), and determined the amounts to be reasonable and
competitive for our industry, utilizing independent, industry
benchmarks. Executive officers do not receive deferred
compensation, retirement benefits or any other benefits other
than eligibility to participate in the same programs and on the
same basis as all other employees.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of LSI Logic
Corporation (the Audit Committee) assists the Board
of Directors in executing its responsibilities. The Audit
Committee is composed of five non-employee members, each of whom
is independent as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing
rules and operates under a charter approved by the Board of
Directors. This charter is attached as Exhibit A and
is also available on the Companys website at
www.lsi.com. The Audit Committee is responsible for,
among other things, retention and termination of the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm,
determining the compensation of the independent registered
public accounting firm and monitoring the integrity and adequacy
of the Companys financial information, control systems and
reporting practices. The Board of Directors has designated the
Audit Committee as its qualified legal compliance committee.
The Companys management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, for preparing the Companys financial statements
and for the public reporting process. The Companys
independent registered public accounting firm,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers),
is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of the
Companys audited financial statements with generally
accepted accounting principles and on managements
assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. In addition,
PricewaterhouseCoopers will express its own opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
In this context, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with
management and PricewaterhouseCoopers the audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005,
managements assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting and
PricewaterhouseCoopers evaluation of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee
has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers the matters required
under Statement on Auditing Standard No. 61 (Communication
with Audit Committees), and has received written disclosures and
the letter required by the Independence Standards Board Standard
No. 1 (Independence Discussion with Audit Committees) from
PricewaterhouseCoopers and has discussed with them their
independence.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit
services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers are compatible with
maintaining the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers and has
concluded that the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers is
maintained and is not compromised by the services provided.
Based on the review and discussion referred to above, the Audit
Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board
of Directors approved the Audit Committees recommendation,
that the audited financial statements be included in the
Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Audit Committee also selected PricewaterhouseCoopers to
audit the Companys consolidated financial statements for
the 2006 fiscal year.
The following represents fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers
for professional services provided in connection with the audit
of the Companys annual financial statements for the fiscal
years 2005 and 2004 and other services during these years.

The Audit Committee has established a policy for pre-approval of
audit and permissible non-audit services. The Audit Committee
reviews and approves the independent registered public
accounting firms annual audit plan and any subsequent
engagements. The Audit Committee requires that all audit and
permissible non-audit services be submitted to it for review and
approval in advance. Occasionally, a subcommittee of the Audit
Committee, consisting of one or two members, pre-approves
certain services. The entire Audit Committee ratifies the
subcommittees pre-approval in the subsequent meeting of
the Audit Committee. In 2005, the Audit Committee followed these
guidelines in approving all services rendered by
PricewaterhouseCoopers.

for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of
the Code and Section 3(b) of the Plan, a participants payroll deductions may be automatically
decreased to zero percent at any time during a Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall
recommence at the rate provided in such participants subscription agreement at the beginning of
the first Purchase Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.
(e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of
the Companys Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate
provision for the Companys federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which
arise on the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time the
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participants compensation the amount
necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding
required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or
early disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.
4
7. GRANT OF OPTION. On each Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee
participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date
during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of full shares of the
Companys Common Stock determined by dividing such Employees payroll deductions accumulated for
that Exercise Date and retained in the Employees account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable
Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase more than
1,000 shares in each Purchase Period within each Offering Period, provided further that such
purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 13. The Board may, for
future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of
shares of the Companys Common Stock an Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period of such
Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8, unless the
participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10. The option shall expire on the last day of the
Offering Period.
(a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10, his or
her option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the
maximum number of full shares subject to option will be purchased at the applicable Purchase Price
with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. For this purpose, only payroll
deductions from payroll dates that are more than three business days before an Exercise Date will
be applied to the purchase of shares on that Exercise Date. Payroll deductions from payroll dates
that occur on an Exercise Date or within three business days before an Exercise Date will be
applied to the purchase of shares on the next following Exercise Date. In any event, no fractional
shares will be purchased. Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participants account that are
not sufficient to purchase a full share or that exceed the $25,000 cap described in Section 3 above
will be refunded to the participant following the purchase of shares, subject to earlier withdrawal
by the participant as provided in Section 10 or unless the Offering Period has been
over-subscribed, in which event such amount shall be refunded to the participant. During his or
her lifetime, a participants option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by the
participant.
(b) If the Board determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares with respect
to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were
available for sale under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii)
the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Board may in its
sole discretion provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common
Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform
a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable
among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and (x)
continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in
effect pursuant to Section 20. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the shares available on
the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence,
notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Companys
stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date.
5
9. DELIVERY. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares
occurs, the Company shall arrange for the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option to be
electronically credited to the participants brokerage account at the securities brokerage firms
designated by the Company for its direct deposit program from time to time.
10. |

WITHDRAWAL; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. |
(a) A participant may withdraw all, but not less than all, the payroll deductions credited to
his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by
giving written notice to the Company on a form provided for such purpose. All of the participants
payroll deductions credited to his or her account will be paid to the participant as soon as
practicable after receipt of the notice of withdrawal, his or her option for the current Offering
Period will be automatically canceled, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares
will be made during such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period,
payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the
participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.
(b) A participants withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or
her eligibility to participate in a succeeding Offering Period which begins after the end of the
Offering Period from which the participant withdraws or in any similar plan which may hereafter be
adopted by the Company.
11. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Upon a participants ceasing to be an Employee for any reason,
including retirement or death, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan
and the payroll deductions accumulated in his or her account during the Offering Period but not yet
used to exercise the option will be returned to him or her as soon as practicable after such
termination or, in the case of death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15,
and his or her option will be automatically terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a
participant who receives payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment shall be treated as
continuing to be an Employee for the participants customary number of hours per week of employment
during the period in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu of notice. In the
case of death of the participant, the payroll deductions credited to the participants account will
be paid to the person or persons entitled thereto under paragraph 15, and such participants option
will be automatically terminated.
12. |

outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year less (y) the number
6
of shares available for future option grants under the Plan on the last day of the immediately
preceding fiscal year, or a lesser amount determined by the Board, but not to exceed 3,000,000
shares (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19) in any fiscal year.

option until such option has been exercised.

the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse.
14. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee of members of the
Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its committee shall have full and exclusive
discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine
eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision
and determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be
final and binding upon all parties.
15. |
|
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. |
(a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive shares
and/or cash, if any, from the participants account under the Plan in the event of such
participants death at a time when cash or shares are held for his or her account. If the
participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be
required for such designation to be effective.
(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written
notice. In the event of the death of a participant in the absence of a valid designation of a
beneficiary who is living at the time of such participants death, the Company shall deliver such
shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant; or if no such
executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its
discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then
to such other person as the Company may reasonably designate.
16. TRANSFERABILITY. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participants account nor any rights
with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent
and distribution, or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company
may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Section 10.
17. USE OF FUNDS. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be
used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate
such payroll deductions.
7
18. REPORTS. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements
of account will be given to participating Employees at least annually, and will set forth the
amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining
cash balance to be refunded, if any.
19. |
|
ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. |
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of
the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of shares each participant may purchase each Purchase
Period (under Section 7), as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by each option under the Plan that has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from
a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common
Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been effected without receipt of
consideration. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number
or price of shares of Common Stock subject to option.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new
Exercise Date (the New Exercise Date), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation
of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless otherwise provided by the Board. The New
Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Companys proposed dissolution or liquidation. The
Company shall notify each participant in writing at least ten business days prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participants option has been changed to the New
Exercise Date and that the participants option shall be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as
provided in Section 10.
(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each
option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the
successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any Purchase Periods then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the New Exercise Date) and any Offering
Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before
the date of the Companys proposed sale or merger. The Company shall notify each participant in
writing prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participants option has
been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participants option will be exercised
automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn
from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10.
8
The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for
adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding
option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations,
rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock, and in
the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation.
20. |
|
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. |
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and for any reason terminate or
amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19, no such termination will affect options
previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board on any Exercise
Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Plan is in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 19 and this Section
20, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the
rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any
successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the
Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
(b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be
considered to have been adversely affected, the Board shall be entitled to change the Offering
Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S.
dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to
adjust for delays or mistakes in the Companys processing of properly completed withholding
elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant
properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participants Compensation and establish such
other limitations or procedures as the Board determines in its sole discretion advisable which are
consistent with the Plan.
(c) In the event the Board determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in
unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent
necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence
including, but not limited to:
(i) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway
at the time of the change in Purchase Price;
(ii) shortening any Offering Period so that the Offering Period ends on a new Exercise Date,
including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Board action; and
(iii) allocating shares.
9
Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Plan
participants.
21. NOTICES. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company in connection
with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the
Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.
Notices given by means of the Companys intranet or similar system will be deemed to be written
notices under the Plan.
22. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option
unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto
shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of
counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
As a condition to the exercise of an option, if required by applicable securities laws, the Company
may require the participant for whose account the option is being exercised to represent and
warrant at the time of such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for
the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions
of law.
23. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the
Board of Directors of the Company or it is approved by the stockholders. It shall continue in
effect for a term of 10 years unless sooner terminated under Section 20.
24.
EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as creating a contract for
employment for any period or shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or
of any Subsidiary to terminate any participants employment relationship at any time, with or
without cause, nor confer upon any participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company
or any Subsidiary.

Introduction
The Board of Directors (the Board) of LSI Logic Corporation (the Company) has adopted the
International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the IESPP or the Plan) in order to provide
employees of designated LSI Logic subsidiaries with the opportunity to purchase common stock of the
Company at a below current market price through convenient payroll deductions. If you decide to
participate in the Plan, you can set aside from 1% to 15% of your eligible compensation which will
then be used to purchase stock for you twice a year. Participation in the IESPP is voluntary.
As used in this IESPP, Company Board means the Board of Directors of LSI Logic Corporation, or to
the extent authorized by the Board, a committee of the Board. Employer Subsidiary means those
subsidiaries of the Company that have been designated by the Company as participants in the IESPP.
For more information about the Plan or its administration, you may contact the LSI Logic
Corporation Stock Administration Department, Mail Stop D-206, 1621 Barber Lane, Milpitas CA 95035,
1-408-433-6810.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
An effort has been made to have the terms of the IESPP apply to all IESPP participants regardless
of the country in which the participant is employed. Notwithstanding that effort, certain
different or additional terms may apply for the IESPP as it applies to the country in which you are
employed to accommodate local requirements. Those terms are set forth in the Country Addendum.
Therefore, this document must be read together with the Country Addendum that applies to your
Employer Subsidiary. Where terms of your Country Addendum are different from those stated in this
document, the terms of the Country Addendum shall apply.
This IESPP, together with the Country Addendum, if any, constitute part of a prospectus covering
securities that have been registered in the United States under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
-1-
Eligibility
Who May Participate
You qualify to participate in the IESPP if all of the following are true:
|
|
|
You are working as a regular employee of an Employer Subsidiary. |
|
|
|
|
You are regularly scheduled by an Employer Subsidiary to work for more than 20
hours per week and more than five months in each calendar year. |
|
|
|
|
You do not own five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value
of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, and |
Temporary employees and independent contractors providing services to the Company are not eligible
to participate, regardless of the length of such service.
Participation in the Plan does not create a contract for employment or limit in any way the right
of the Company to terminate the participants employment at any time, with or without cause, or
confer on a participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.
-2-
Enrollment
Enrolling in the IESPP
An eligible employee may become a participant in the IESPP by completing the attached IESPP
Subscription Agreement authorizing payroll deductions and submitting it to LSI Logic Stock
Administration Department prior to an Enrollment Date.
There are two Enrollment Dates each calendar year: May 15 and November 15.
Open enrollment is held during April and October before each Enrollment Date.
You must submit a completed IESPP Subscription Agreement during Open Enrollment in order to
participate as of the next Enrollment Date if:
|
|
|
You are a new participant, |
|
|
|
|
You are enrolling following a period of non-participation. |
Your payroll deductions begin with the first payroll on or after the Enrollment Date, depending on
the specific country payroll cycle.
New hires starting employment after the ESPP Open Enrollment Period and before the beginning of the
Offering Period can enroll up to and including the first day of the Offering Period. The
Subscription Agreement must be received no later than the first day of the Offering Period.
If you miss the deadline for enrolling, you must wait until the next Open Enrollment to enroll in
the IESPP.
-3-
How the Plan Works
Offering Period/Purchase Period
An Offering Period lasts for 12 months unless you:
|
|
|
withdraw |
|
|
|
|
cease to be an Eligible Employee, or |
|
|
|
|
are automatically transferred to a new Offering Period. |
Each 12-month Offering Period consists of two consecutive Purchase Periods of six months each.
Offering Periods begin either on May 15 or November 15.
Purchase Date/Purchase Price
There are two Purchase Dates each calendar year: May 14 and November 14.
On each Purchase Date your payroll deductions accumulated during the Purchase Period are used to
automatically purchase the maximum number of whole shares of Company common stock that you are
entitled to purchase under the IESPP.
The Purchase Price you will pay for the stock purchased under the IESPP is equal to the lower of:
|
|
|
Þ 85% of the fair market value of the Company common stock on the Enrollment Date; or |
|
|
|
|
Þ 85% of the fair market value of the Company common stock on the Purchase Date. |
-4-
Determination of Fair Market Value
The fair market value of LSI Logics stock on a particular date is the closing price of the
stock on the New York Stock Exchange on that date in the United States, as reported by the Wall
Street Journal. However, if a closing price is not available for a particular date, then the fair
market value to be used for that date will be the previous business days closing stock price. For
example, if the Enrollment date falls on a Saturday, the closing price of the stock on the
preceding Friday (or on the next preceding NYSE trading day, if that Friday is not a business day)
would be the fair market value on the Enrollment Date.
Examples
The examples in this booklet are intended as illustrations only and are not based on any
actual or predicted value or performance of Company common stock.
Fair Market Value Higher on Purchase Date than on Enrollment Date
Lets assume that the fair market value of Company common stock was US$8.00 per share on the
Enrollment Date. Assume that on a future Purchase Date in the Offering Period, the fair market
value of the common stock had risen to US$10.00 per share.
As illustrated below, your Purchase Price would be US$6.80:
The lower of:
85% x US$8.00= US$6.80 or
85% x US$10.00= US$8.50
Your Purchase Price is US$6.80
Fair Market Value Lower on Purchase Date than on the Enrollment Date
Lets assume that the fair market value of Company common stock was US$8.00 per share on the
Enrollment Date. Assume that six months later the fair market value of the Company common stock
had decreased and the closing price of the stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Purchase
Date was US$7.00 per share.
As illustrated below, your Purchase Price would be US$5.95.
The lower of:
85% x US$8.00= US$6.80 or
85% x US$7.00= US$5.95
Your Purchase Price is US$5.95
-5-
Automatic Re-Enrollment in Subsequent Offering Period
A new Offering Period begins each May 15 and November 15; however, you may be enrolled in only
one Offering Period at a time. Once you have completed an IESPP Subscription Agreement authorizing
payroll deductions to initially enroll in the IESPP, you will be re-enrolled automatically as a
participant in future Offering Periods when an Offering Period in which you are currently enrolled
ends UNLESS:
|
|
|
You withdraw from participation |
|
|
|
|
Your employment terminates |
|
|
|
|
You become otherwise ineligible to participate in the IESPP, or your
participation has terminated for any other reason |
|
|
|
|
Your Employer Subsidiary withdraws from the IESPP |
|
|
|
|
The IESPP terminates |
Automatic Early Transfer to a New Offering Period
If the fair market value of the Company common stock is lower on a Purchase Date than it was
on the Enrollment Date, you are automatically withdrawn from that Offering Period immediately after
you purchase shares on such Purchase Date and automatically re-enrolled in the next Offering
Period. The effect of this is to automatically begin a new 12-month Offering Period.
For example, in the second example described above, the fair market value on the Enrollment Date
was US$8.00, but had declined to US$7.00 on the Purchase Date. Regardless of where you are in the
current 12-month Offering Period, you would be automatically withdrawn from that Offering Period
following your purchase of shares and re-enrolled in the next Offering Period.
Your payroll deductions will continue at the same rate during the new Offering Period as in the
prior Offering Period unless you instruct the Stock Administration Department otherwise by
submitting an ESPP Change Form within the deadlines.
-6-
Payroll Deductions
You may contribute from 1% to 15% of your eligible compensation to the IESPP. The percentage
you deduct must be expressed in whole numbers. For purposes of the IESPP, your eligible
compensation includes all regular and recurring straight time earnings, payments for overtime,
shift premium, incentive compensation, incentive payments, bonuses, commissions, but exclusive of
other compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in your Company Addendum, eligible
compensation excludes:
|
|
|
car allowances |
|
|
|
|
transportation allowances |
|
|
|
|
housing allowances |
|
|
|
|
dependent allowances |
|
|
|
|
one-time incentive payments |
|
|
|
|
one-time recognition awards (dinner for two, bravo & winners circle awards, and cash substitute) |
|
|
|
|
disability pay (other than short-term salary continuation) |
|
|
|
|
other compensation |
Unless otherwise required under the laws of your country, all payroll deductions contributed by
IESPP participants will be held by the Company or the Employer Subsidiarys in its general fund
until such time as the stock is purchased. In order for payroll deductions to be applied to a
particular purchase date, they must be from a payroll date that is more than three business days
before that purchase date. Also, once payroll deductions are taken, there are no restrictions on
the Companys or Employer Subsidiarys use of such accumulated payroll deductions.
Stock deductions calculated on retroactive pay adjustments, will be included in the purchase period
when the retroactive adjustment is paid.
Confirm IESPP Changes and Enrollment
It is your responsibility to review your first paycheck after the effective date of change or
an initial enrollment to make sure your instructions were carried out.
If you have a problem with any IESPP change or enrollment you must notify Stock Administration no
later than 45 days from the beginning of the Offering Period and provide your original fax
confirmation from your requested change or enrollment. For the November 15 Offering Period, the
last day to notify Stock Administration of any IESPP change or enrollment problems is December 31.
For the May 15 Offering Period, the last day to notify Stock Administration of any IESPP change or
enrollment problems is June 30.
-7-
Exchange Rate
The exchange rate used for calculating the number of shares of stock to be purchased with your
payroll deductions is the NYSE Composite exchange rate reported by Bloomberg Financial System using
the closing rate on the last Wednesday of the fiscal month ending closest to the Purchase Date.
Limitations on Shares You May Purchase
On each Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such
Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering
Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of full shares of the Companys Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employees payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise
Date and retained in the Employees account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase
Price; provided that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase more than 1,000 shares
in each Purchase Period within an Offering Periods, provided further that such purchase shall be
subject to the limitations set forth below. The Board may, for future Offering Periods, increase
or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of the Companys Common Stock
an Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period of such Offering Period.
No employee will be permitted to purchase shares under the IESPP, if, immediately after enrollment,
the employee would own five percent or more of the total combined voting stock of LSI Logic or of
any subsidiary of LSI Logic (including stock which may be purchased through the IESPP or pursuant
to stock options).
No employee will be permitted to purchase shares under the IESPP or any other employee stock
purchase plans of LSI Logic or its subsidiaries having a value of more than $25,000 (determined
using the fair market value of the shares on such employees Enrollment Date) in any calendar year.
This means that your annual payroll contributions cannot exceed US$21,250.
Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization by the Company as provided in the IESPP, the
maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock that shall be reserved for sale under the
IESPP shall be 5,227,273, subject to stockholder approval at the Companys annual meeting on May
11, 2006. If the total number of shares to be purchased on any Purchase Date exceeds the remaining
reserved shares then available under the IESPP, a pro rata allocation of the available Company
common stock will be made among the participants, and the IESPP will terminate unless additional
Company common stock are added to the IESPP.
Additional limitations on the number of shares of Company common stock that an employee may
purchase apply for employees of certain Employer Subsidiaries. Please refer to the applicable
Country Addendum.
-8-
Use of Excess Funds
Any contributions remaining in your account after the purchase has been made for the current
Purchase Date that are not sufficient to purchase a full share, or exceed the amount required to
purchase 1,000 shares, or exceed the $25,000 cap described above, will be refunded to you following
the purchase of shares.
Changing Your Contribution Level
Once you are enrolled in the IESPP, you may reduce your contributions to a lower level (but
not below 1% of your eligible compensation) at any time. Reducing your contribution level does not
change your Purchase Price. To reduce your contribution level, complete an ESPP Change Form and
submit to the Stock Administration Department showing the change in contribution level.
You may also increase your contribution level to a maximum of 15%. You can only increase your
contribution percentage during ESPP Open Enrollment Periods held in April and October. Increases in
your contribution level are only effective as of the beginning of a Purchase Period. Increasing
your contribution level does not change your Purchase Price. To increase your contribution level,
submit an ESPP Change Form to the Stock Administration Department during designated ESPP Open
Enrollment periods showing the change in contribution level.
The ESPP Change Form is available on the Stock Administration web site on the Company intranet.
E*TRADE Stock Plans Account
The E*TRADE Stock Plans account is used for all stock programs. For new IESPP participants,
the Stock Plans accounts are opened approximately two months prior to the purchase as long as you
are a current participant. For new accounts, E*TRADE will email an activation notice to your LSI
Logic email address once they receive the new participant information from the LSI Logic Stock
Administration Department. In order to trade you will need to activate your account and complete
the Form W-8BEN. If you have not received an email notice you can activate online.

Account Records
E*TRADE will provide each employee with a brokerage account statement summarizing your account
activity as well as written trade confirmations on all executed orders. If there has been activity
in your account, you will receive a statement each month; otherwise you will receive one each
quarter, provided there are assets in the account.
Report of Sales to LSI Logic
E*TRADE will provide LSI Logic with monthly reporting for all IESPP sales. For more
information regarding tax consequences of sale of shares acquired under the IESPP see the
applicable Country Addendum.
Employee Stock Purchase Transmittals
Twice a year, following each Purchase Date, you will receive an Employee Stock Purchase
Transmittal, from the Stock Administration Department at LSI Logic which will detail the number of
Company common stock purchased for you on the preceding Purchase Date, the price paid per share and
any remaining cash balance in your account. The remaining cash balance will be refunded to you
following the purchase of shares.
Withdrawing from the IESPP
You may withdraw from the IESPP at any time by submitting an ESPP Change Form to the Stock
Administration Department no later than 30 days prior to the Purchase Date. The ESPP Change Form
is available on the Stock Administration web site located on the Companys intranet. Your
accumulated funds will be returned to you without interest unless the laws of your country require
otherwise as soon as practicable after your notice of withdrawal has been received and processed.
After withdrawal, you may not re-enroll in the same Offering Period, although you may enroll in
future Offering Periods by completing an IESPP Subscription Agreement and submitting it to the
Stock Administration Department during a later enrollment period.
If you re-enroll after withdrawal, your Purchase Price is determined on the Enrollment Date of the
new Offering Period.
-11-
Termination of Plan Participation/Participation While on a Leave of Absence
Your eligibility to participate in an Offering Period under the IESPP is dependent on your
maintaining continuous status as a regular employee scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week
during the Offering Period. If the number of hours you are scheduled to work drops below 20 hours
per week, you will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan.
However, generally you may continue to participate in the Plan during a leave of absence which is
approved by your Employer Subsidiary. Unless you receive regular straight time earnings during a
leave of absence you will not make contributions to the IESPP during your leave. Contributions
made to the IESPP prior to an approved leave of absence will be used to purchase stock at the end
of the Purchase Period. Payroll deductions will resume at the time you return to active status.
If you wish to discontinue participation in the Plan you must notify the Stock Administration
Department as soon as you return to active status.
If your employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries terminates for any reason prior to
the last business day of the purchase period, then all payroll deductions which you have
contributed, but which have not yet been used to purchase stock, will be returned to you without
interest.
Notwithstanding the above, your transfer from one Employer Subsidiary to another Employer
Subsidiary or to the parent Company shall not alone be considered a break in your continuous status
as a regular employee. In the event of such a transfer, however, your participation in the IESPP
would be subject to the Country Addendum applicable to your new Employer Subsidiary or to the terms
of the Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan if to the parent Company.
Designating Your Beneficiary
You may designate one or more beneficiaries in your IESPP Subscription Agreement to receive
your unused payroll deductions in the event of your death, which will be paid without interest,
unless required by local law. You may change your beneficiary at any time by submitting a revised
IESPP Subscription Agreement to the Stock Administration Department. If no living beneficiary is
designated, payment of contributions or delivery of the share certificate, as the case may be, will
be made to your estate.
Laws governing the disposition of decedents property vary widely from country to country. It is
highly recommended that you consult with your own independent legal counsel to make certain that
you have taken all necessary steps to ensure that your desired disposition of undistributed Company
common stock and payroll deductions in the event of your death can be accomplished.
-12-
Nonassignability
Unless where otherwise required under local law, none of your rights or accumulated payroll
deductions under the IESPP may be pledged, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of for any
reason (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution). Any such attempt may be
treated by the Company as an election to withdraw from the IESPP.
Administration of the IESPP
The IESPP is currently administered by the Company Board or a designated committee of the
Board. All questions of interpretation or application of the IESPP are determined in the sole
discretion of the Company Board (or its duly authorized committee) and its decisions are final and
binding upon all participants. Members of the Board who are eligible employees are permitted to
participate in the Plan but may not vote on any matter affecting the administration of the Plan.
No member of the Board who is eligible to participate in the Plan may be a member of the committee
appointed by the Board to administer the Plan. No charges for administrative or other costs may be
made against the payroll deductions of a participant in the IESPP. Members of the Board of
Directors receive no additional compensation for their services in connection with the
administration of the IESPP.
Subject to such rules, procedures and instructions as may be adopted by the Company Board, each
participating Employer Subsidiary shall be responsible for making all payroll deductions (including
related withholding and social insurance contributions) for its participating employees, for filing
and distributing all reports and disclosures that may be required under local law, and for
otherwise ensuring compliance with all applicable local laws relating to administration of the
IESPP.
Amendment and Termination of the IESPP
The Company Board may at any time amend or terminate the IESPP or any particular Country
Addendum, or withdraw an Employer Subsidiary from the IESPP, except that such amendment or
termination will not adversely affect your participation in an Offering Period for which you are
already enrolled. Without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been
adversely affected, the Company Board shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the
frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the
exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll
withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or
mistakes in the processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable
waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts
applied toward the purchase of Company common stock for each participant properly correspond with
amounts withheld from the participants compensation and establish such other limitations or
procedures as the Company Board determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent
with the IESPP.
-13-
Capital Changes
If the number of Company common stock outstanding is increased or decreased by way of stock
split, stock dividend or otherwise (but not including conversion of any convertible debentures),
appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of shares subject to purchase under the IESPP
and in the Purchase Price per share.
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in
progress will terminate immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation unless otherwise
provided by the Company Board. In the event of the proposed sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each
participants rights under the IESPP will be assumed or an equivalent right will be substituted by
the successor corporation, unless the Company Board determines, in its discretion, to accelerate
the Purchase Date(s) for all current participants.
The Company Board may also make provisions for adjusting the number of shares subject to the IESPP
and the Purchase Price per share in the event the Company effects one or more reorganizations,
recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of the Companys
outstanding common stock.
Conditions upon Issuance of Company Common Stock
Company common stock shall not be issued to you under this IESPP unless the exercise of your
option to purchase such Company common stock and the issuance and delivery of such Company common
stock pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any
stock exchange upon which the Company common stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject
to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
Designation of Employer Subsidiaries and Country Addendum
The Company Board may designate any subsidiary of the Company as a participating Employer
Subsidiary in the IESPP. The Company Board may, in addition, modify one or more provisions of the
IESPP solely as it applies to such Employer Subsidiary. The applicable modified Country Addendum
shall be attached to the copy of the IESPP distributed to the Eligible Employees of the applicable
Employer Subsidiary.
-14-
Third Party Fiduciaries
Certain countries may prohibit employees from directly owning Company common stock purchased
on their behalf under the IESPP. If local law so requires or if the Company Board determines that
distribution of proceeds could not be accomplished without undue liability or expense to either the
Company or your Employer Subsidiary, your Employer Subsidiary may provide for maintenance of the
accounts with a third party fiduciary for your benefit. Please refer to your applicable Country
Addendum to determine whether such arrangements apply to you.
Notices
Any notice or other communication from you to the Company in connection with the IESPP shall
be considered properly given only if and when it is received in the form specified by the Company
at the following location:
LSI Logic Corporation
Stock Administration
1621 Barber Lane
Mail Stop D-206
Milpitas, California 95035
Any notice or other communication from you to your Employer Subsidiary in connection with the IESPP
shall be considered properly given only if and when it is received in the form specified by the
Employer Subsidiary at the location designated in the attached Country Addendum.
The Employer Subsidiary and the Company may at any time change such notice addresses upon prior
written notice to you.
-15-
Tax Consequences
Tax Implications of Purchasing and Selling Your Company Common Stock
The Country Addendum applicable to you provides a brief summary of general rules regarding the
tax consequences in the country in which you are employed. The Country Addendum does not purport
to be a complete description of all tax implications of participation in the IESPP, nor does it
purport to discuss the income tax implications of the IESPP under the laws of each state, province,
district or local government in which you may reside or otherwise be subject to tax.
Withholding and Employee-Paid Social Insurance
Certain countries treat as taxable compensation the excess of the fair market value of the
Company common stock on the Purchase Date over the Purchase Price. Certain countries also treat as
taxable gain some or all of the excess, if any, of the sale price over the fair market value of the
Company common stock as of the Purchase Date. (See your applicable Country Addendum for more
information.)
Some of those countries also require that the Employer Subsidiary withhold and remit sums on behalf
of the employee in respect of income taxes and/or social insurance contributions. Any income,
