For the 2010 ? 2012 performance cycle, the Compensation Committee has established total shareholder return (defined as the Company?s common stock price appreciation plus dividends paid during the performance cycle) compared to companies in the S&P Small and MidCap Electric Utilities (GICS and NAICS) group as the performance goal.
