0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,936 | Disclosing specific objectives would provide competitors and other third parties with insights into the planning process and would therefore cause competitive harm. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

The performance goals are aggressive. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,941 | Thus, there is considerable risk that payments will not be made at all or will be made at less than 100%. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,942 | For the past three years, the performance goals have reflected double-digit growth in both revenue and operating income. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,944 | This uncertainty ensures that any payments under the plan are truly performance-based, consistent with the plan's objectives. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,945 | At the end of the year, the Committee determines the amount of the award to be paid to each officer by comparing actual results to the performance goals. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,947 | The plan does not provide for the adjustment or recovery of an award paid to a named executive officer if the results in a previous year are subsequently restated or adjusted in a manner that would have originally resulted in a smaller award. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,962 | The Committee, however, does not attempt to set compensation components to meet specific benchmarks, such as salaries "above the median" or equity compensation "at the 75th percentile." | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,963 | Furthermore, the Committee believes that excessive reliance on benchmarking is detrimental to shareholder interests because it can result in compensation that is unrelated to the value delivered by the named executive officers. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,966 | Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation to certain officers that may be deducted by Apple as a business expense in any tax year unless, among other things, the compensation is performance-based and has been approved by the shareholders. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,967 | To qualify as performance-based compensation, the amount of compensation must depend on the officer's performance against pre-determined performance goals established by a committee that consists solely of at least two "outside" directors who have never been employed by Apple or its subsidiaries. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,968 | Two Compensation Committee members, Mr. Gore and Mr. Drexler, qualify as outside directors under the IRS definition. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,969 | Although Mr. Campbell is an independent director under SEC and NASDAQ governance standards, he does not qualify as an outside director because he was an officer of Apple from 1983 to 1987 and an Apple subsidiary from 1987 to 1991. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,970 | For this reason, he does not discuss or vote on any Section 162(m)-related matters. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,971 | Salaries for the named executive officers do not qualify as performance-based compensation. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,972 | Apple's performance-based cash incentives, however, are exempt from the Section 162(m) limit because they are paid based on predetermined goals established by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the shareholder-approved Performance Bonus Plan. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,973 | The RSUs do not qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) because vesting is based on continued employment rather than specific performance goals. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,974 | See page 103 for an explanation of Apple's decision not to implement performance-based vesting. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,976 | Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes additional income taxes on executive officers for certain types of deferred compensation that do not comply with Section 409A. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,977 | Because Apple does not generally provide deferred compensation to the named executive officers, this limitation has no impact on the structure of the compensation program for the officers. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,978 | Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on payments to executives of severance or change of control compensation that exceed the levels specified in Section 280G. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,979 | The named executive officers could receive the amounts shown on the table on page 113 as severance or change of control payments, but the Committee does not consider their potential impact in compensation program design. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,981 | The Committee also considers the accounting and cash flow implications of various forms of executive compensation. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,982 | In its financial statements, Apple records salaries and performance-based compensation incentives as expenses in the amount paid, or to be paid, to the named executive officers. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,983 | Accounting rules also require Apple to record an expense in its financial statements for equity awards, even though equity awards are not paid as cash to employees. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,984 | The accounting expense of equity awards to employees is calculated in accordance with SFAS 123R. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,985 | The Committee believes, however, that the many advantages of equity compensation, as discussed above, more than compensate for the non-cash accounting expense associated with them. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,988 | Based on its assessment of the factors discussed above and the Committee's belief that the outstanding, unvested equity grants at the beginning of fiscal 2007 had significant retention value, the Committee concluded that the compensation packages for the named executive officers were reasonable without additional equit... | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |

0000320193 | 20071115 | 10-K | 1,990 | Based on a review of competitive practices and the Committee's approach to place less emphasis on cash compensation, the Committee concluded that the total compensation for the officers were appropriate for fiscal 2007 without a salary increase. | 0001047469-07-009340/full-submission.txt |
