“The Finance & Audit committee of the board of directors has the responsibility to determine the nature and amount of compensation (including salary & benefits as appropriate to the position and appropriate for Georgia) to be included in the president's contract during the contract process. The HOPE worldwide, LTD board of directors uses the Candid Salary survey and the Insperity PEO salary survey as a guide to determine reasonable compensation to ensure that nobody at HOPE worldwide, LTD. is excessively compensated. Also, on an annual basis, a review of the president's performance is conducted. Any salary increases recommended based on the president's performance would need to be approved by the board of directors. The HOPE worldwide, LTD board of directors has adopted the Insperity salary survey for determining reasonable compensation based upon job size. The Chief Financial Officer, using the job-size and market salary comparisons consistent with current national salary surveys, establishes salary levels and median salaries for each job range. The relevant supervisor may recommend a salary within the current market range based on the employee's qualifications as well as budget constraints. The CFO presents that information to the Finance and Audit committee of the board of directors for its review. Ultimately, the Finance & Audit committee's recommendations must be approved by the full board.”
