2.17.6 CEO to median employee pay ratio | 393 6 TH EDITION | GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE PROXIES CEO PAY RATIO CEO PAY RATIO We believe executive pay must be internally consistent and equitable to motivate our employees to create shareholder value. We are committed to internal pay equity, and the Compensation & Organization Committee monitors the relationship between the pay our officers receive and the pay our non-officer employees receive. The Compensation & Organization Committee reviewed a comparison of CEO pay (base salary and target bonus) to the pay of all our employees in 2017. The compensation for our CEO in 2017 was approximately 98 times the median pay of our employees. As a result of the rules recently adopted by the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee, using the required calculations. We identified our median employee utilizing data as of November 30, 2017, by examining the 2017 target total cash compensation (base salary plus target bonus) for all individuals, excluding our CEO, who were employed by us on November 30, 2017. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time or part-time basis. We did not make any assumptions, adjustments, or estimates with respect to total target cash compensation. We excluded 73 employees from Brazil, which represents approximately 1.6-percent of the Company’s total employee population of 4,500. We believe the use of total target cash compensation for all employees is a consistently applied compensation measure because we do not widely distribute annual equity awards to employees. After identifying the median employee based on total target cash compensation, we calculated annual total compensation for that employee using the same methodology we use for our named executive officers as set forth in the 2017 Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement. As illustrated in the table below, our 2017 CEO to median employee pay ratio is 97.8:1.
