About Proxy Voting: |
|
Your vote is important. Proxy voting permits shareholders unable
to attend the annual meeting to vote their shares through a
proxy. Most shareholders are unable to attend the Annual
Meeting. By appointing a proxy your shares will be represented
and voted in accordance with your instructions. If you do not
provide instructions on how to vote, the proxies will vote as
recommended by the Board of Directors. You can vote your shares
by completing and returning your proxy card. Most shareholders
can also vote shares by following the Internet or telephone
voting instructions provided on the proxy card. You can change
your voting instructions or revoke your proxy at anytime prior
to the Annual Meeting by following the instructions on the proxy
card. |
|
|
|
By order of the Board of Directors, |
|

solicitation of proxies for ITT Industries 2006 Annual
Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof. This
proxy statement and ITT Industries 2005 Annual Report to
Shareholders and Annual Report on
Form 10-K (which
have been mailed to shareholders eligible to vote at the 2006
Annual Meeting) contain information that the Board of Directors
believes offers an informed view of the Company and meet the
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) for proxy solicitations.
Who is entitled to vote? You can vote if you owned shares
of the Companys common stock as of the March 17, 2006
record date.
What items of business will I be voting on? You are
voting on the following items of business which are described on
pages 7 through 17:
|
|
1. |
To elect all nine members of the Board of Directors. |
|
2. |
To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as

Information about Voting
How do I vote? You can either vote in person at the
Annual Meeting or by proxy whether or not you attend the Annual
Meeting.
Why does the Board solicit proxies from shareholders?
Since it is impractical for all shareholders to attend the
Annual Meeting and vote in person, the Board of Directors
recommends that you appoint the two people named on the
accompanying proxy card to act as your proxies at the 2006
Annual Meeting.
How do the proxies vote? The proxies vote your shares in
accordance with your voting instructions. If you appoint the
proxies but do not provide voting instructions, they will vote
as recommended by the Board of Directors. If any other matters
not described in this proxy statement are properly brought
before the meeting for a vote, the proxies will use their
discretion in deciding how to vote on those matters.
1
What are the proxy voting procedures? Instructions are
included on the proxy card. You may vote:
|
|
|
By the Internet, |
|
|
By Telephone, if you call from the United States. |
|
|
By Mail. |
How many votes do I have? You have one vote for every
share of ITT Industries common stock that you own.
What if I change my mind? You can revoke your proxy at
any time before it is exercised by mailing a new proxy card with
a later date or casting a new vote by the Internet or telephone.
You can also send a written revocation to the Company Secretary
at the address listed on the first page of the proxy statement.
If you come to the Annual Meeting you can ask that the proxy you
submitted earlier not be used.
If I dont return the proxy card or vote at the 2006
Annual Meeting what happens to my vote? If your shares are
held by a broker, bank or other owner of record, your shares can
be voted by the broker for all the scheduled agenda items. If
your broker does not have discretion to vote your shares held in
street name on a proposed agenda item and you provide no
instructions on how to vote, the votes will be broker non-votes.
That means the votes will be counted only for the purpose of
determining a quorum, but not for or against any agenda item.
How many shares of ITT Industries stock are outstanding?
As of the March 17, 2006 record date,
184,810,236 shares of ITT Industries common stock were
outstanding.
How many holders of ITT Industries outstanding shares must be
present to hold the Annual Meeting? In order to conduct
business at the Annual Meeting it is necessary to have a quorum.
To have a quorum, a majority of outstanding ITT Industries
shares of common stock on the record date must be present in
person or by proxy.
How are my votes counted? How many votes are required to
elect Directors or approve a proposal? You may vote
for or withhold your vote with respect
to any Director standing for reelection. Indiana law, the state
in which ITT Industries is incorporated, provides that directors
are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that
the nine director candidates who receive the highest number of
votes will be elected as the Directors of ITT Industries. Our
Corporate Governance Principles, which are attached as
Appendix I, provide for a review process should any nominee
for Director in an uncontested election receive less than 50% of
the votes cast. Such Director nominee must promptly provide a
written resignation to the Chair of the Nominating and
Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee
then considers the resignation and recommends to the independent
directors of the Board whether to accept, reject (applicable
only in clearly compelling circumstances) or provide an
opportunity for cure with respect to the Director nominee who
2
received less than 50% of the votes cast. The independent
directors of the Board must act on the Nominating and Governance
Committees recommendation at the earlier of its next
regularly scheduled Board Meeting or within 90 days after
certification of the shareholder vote and must promptly publicly
disclose the decision and the Boards reasons for the
decision. More specific information with respect to this process
may be found in our Governance Principles at Appendix I,
Section II2.
With respect to other agenda items, you may vote for, against or
abstain from voting. For all the other items of business to be
voted on at the 2006 Annual Meeting the item will be approved if
the votes in favor are greater than the votes against the item.
Under Indiana law abstentions and broker non-votes are counted
to determine whether there is a quorum, but abstentions and
broker non-votes are not counted as votes for or against the
election of Directors or other matters to be voted on.
Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will not impact the
election of Directors, ratification of the appointment of
auditors, or the proposal to amend ITT Industries Restated
Articles of Incorporation to change the Companys name to
ITT Corporation.
What is the difference between a beneficial owner and a
registered owner? If shares you own are held in an ITT
Industries savings plan for salaried or hourly employees, a
stock brokerage account, bank or by another holder of record you
are considered the beneficial owner because someone
else holds the shares on your behalf. If the shares you own are
registered in your name directly with the Bank of New York, our
transfer agent, you are the registered owner and the
shareholder of record.
How do I vote if I am a participant in ITT Industries
savings plans for salaried or hourly employees? If you
participate in any of the ITT Industries savings plans for
salaried or hourly employees, your plan trustee will vote the
ITT Industries shares credited to your savings plan account in
accordance with your voting instructions. The trustee votes the
shares on your behalf because you are the beneficial owner, not
the record owner of the savings plan shares. The trustee votes
the savings plan shares for which no voting instructions are
received in the same proportion as the shares for which the
trustee receives voting instructions.
I participate in the ITT Industries savings plan for salaried
employees and also am a shareholder of record of shares of ITT
Industries common stock. How many proxy cards will I
receive? You will receive only one proxy card. Your savings
plan shares and any shares you own as the shareholder of record,
including ownership through the Direct Purchase, Sale and
Dividend Reinvestment Plan for ITT Industries, Inc. will be set
out separately on the proxy card.
How many shares are held by participants in the ITT
Industries employee savings plans? As of March 17,
2006, the record date, Wells Fargo Institutional Trust Services,
as the trustee for the employee salaried savings
3
plan, held 14,260,479 shares of ITT Industries common
stock (approximately 7.72% of the outstanding shares) and
Northern Trust, as the trustee for the hourly employees savings
plan, held 763,580 shares of ITT Industries common
stock (approximately 0.4% of the outstanding shares).
Who counts the votes? Is my vote confidential?
Representatives of the Bank of New York count the votes.
Representatives of IVS Associates, Inc. act as Inspectors of
Election for the 2006 Annual Meeting. The Inspectors of Election
monitor the voting and certify whether the votes of shareholders
are kept in confidence in compliance with ITT Industries
confidential voting policy.
Who pays for the proxy solicitation cost? ITT Industries
pays the cost of soliciting proxies from registered owners. ITT
Industries has appointed Georgeson & Company to help
with the solicitation effort. We will pay Georgeson &
Company a fee of $12,500 to assist with the solicitation. We
also reimburse brokers, nominees, custodians and other
fiduciaries for their costs in sending proxy materials to
beneficial owners.
Who solicits proxies? Directors, officers or other
regular employees of ITT Industries may also solicit proxies
from shareholders in person or by telephone, facsimile
transmission or other electronic communication.
What happens if I return my proxy without indicating how I
want my shares voted? If you return the proxy without
specifying how you want your shares voted, you are giving
discretionary authority to the proxies to vote your shares in
accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors,
which are described on pages 7 to 17. If any other matters
are properly presented for consideration at the 2006 Annual
Meeting, the persons named as proxies will have discretion to
vote on these matters according to their best judgment to the
same extent as the person delivering the proxy would be entitled
to vote. There are three formal items scheduled to be voted upon
at the Annual Meeting: election of Directors, ratification of
the appointment of the independent auditors, and amendment to
the Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the
corporation from ITT Industries, Inc. to ITT Corporation,
effective July 1, 2006. As of the date of this proxy
statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any business
other than as described in this proxy statement that will be
presented for a vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting.
How does a shareholder submit a proposal for the 2006 Annual
Meeting?
Rule 14a-8 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange
Act, establishes the eligibility requirements and the
procedures that must be followed for a shareholders
proposal to be included in a public companys proxy
materials. Under the rule, if a shareholder wishes to include a
proposal in ITT Industries proxy materials for its next
Annual Meeting, those eligibility requirements and procedures
must be complied with and the proposal must be received by ITT
Industries at its principal executive offices on or before
December 5, 2006. An ITT Industries shareholder who wishes
to present a matter for action at ITT Industries next
Annual Meeting, but chooses not to do so under Exchange Act
4
Rule 14a-8, must
deliver to ITT Industries, at its principal executive offices,
on or before December 5, 2006 a written notice to that
effect. In either case, as well as for shareholder nominations
for Directors, the shareholder must also comply with the
requirements in the Companys By-laws with respect to a
shareholder properly bringing business before the Annual
Meeting. (A copy of the By-laws may be obtained from the
Secretary of ITT Industries.)
Can a shareholder nominate Director Candidates? The
Companys By-laws permit shareholders to nominate Directors
at the Annual Meeting. In order to make a Director nomination at
the 2007 Annual Meeting, it is necessary that you submit a
notice with the name of the candidate on or before
December 5, 2006. The nomination and notice must meet all
other qualifications and requirements of the Companys
Governance Principles, By-laws and Regulation 14A of the
Exchange Act. The nominee will be evaluated by the Nominating
and Governance Committee of the Board using the same standards
as it uses for all Director nominees, which are discussed in
further detail below at page 19 under Information
about the Board of Directors-Director Selection and
Composition. No one may be nominated for election as a
Director after he or she has reached 72 years of age. (A
copy of the nomination requirements may be obtained from the
Secretary of ITT Industries.)
Stock Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers
The Board of Directors share ownership guidelines
currently provide for share ownership levels at five times the
annual retainer amount. Directors receive a portion of their
retainer in restricted stock and are encouraged to hold such
restricted stock until such time as his or her total share
ownership meets or exceeds the ownership guidelines. The Company
also has share ownership guidelines for corporate officers.
These guidelines, described on page 46, were first approved
by ITT Industries Board of Directors during 2001 and are
regularly reviewed. The guidelines specify the desired levels of
Company stock ownership and encourage a set of behaviors to
enable each officer to reach the guideline levels. The Committee
monitors compliance with the guidelines periodically and, as of
February 28, 2006, the share ownership levels have been
substantially met. More specific information is provided in the
Report of the Compensation and Personnel Committee.
The following table shows, as of February 28, 2006, the
beneficial ownership of ITT Industries common stock and
options exercisable within 60 days by each Director, by
each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation
Table, and by all Directors and executive officers as a group.
In addition, with respect to Mr. Loranger, we have provided
information about ownership of stock-linked instruments that
provide economic linkage to the common stock but do not
represent actual beneficial ownership of shares. On
February 21,
5
2006 the Company effected a 2:1 split of its common stock. Share
ownership in the table below is disclosed on a post-split basis.

On June 28, 2004 Mr. Loranger received an award of
250,000 (as adjusted to reflect February 21,
2006 2:1 stock split) Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, in connection with
his employment agreement. The units vest in one-third
installments on June 28, 2007, June 28, 2008 and
June 28, 2010. During the restriction period
Mr. Loranger may not vote the shares but receives dividends. |
|
(2) |
In March 2006 Mr. Maffeo exercised 45,200 stock options. |
The number of shares beneficially owned by each Director or
executive officer has been determined under the rules of the
SEC, which provide that beneficial ownership includes any shares
as to which a person has sole or shared voting or dispositive
power, and any shares which the person would have the right to
acquire beneficial ownership of within 60 days through the
exercise of any stock option or other right.
Unless otherwise indicated, each Director or executive officer
has sole dispositive and voting power, or shares those powers
with his or her spouse.
As of February 28, 2006, all Directors and executive
officers as a group owned .09% of the shares deemed to be
outstanding. No individual Director or executive officer owned
in excess of one percent of the shares deemed to be outstanding.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that the
Companys executive officers and directors, and any persons
beneficially owning more than 10% of a registered class of the
Companys equity securities, file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the SEC within specified time periods.
To the Companys knowledge, based upon a review of the
copies of the reports furnished to the Company and written
representations that no other reports were required, all of
these filing requirements were satisfied in a timely manner for
the year ended December 31, 2005.
Proposals to be voted on at the 2006 Annual Meeting
The Board of Directors has nominated nine individuals for
election as Directors at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Each of the
nominees is currently serving as a Director of ITT Industries
and has agreed to continue to serve if elected until his or her
retirement, resignation or death. If unforeseen circumstances
arise before the 2006 Annual Meeting and a nominee becomes
unable to serve, the Board of Directors could reduce the size of
the Board or nominate another candidate for election. If the
Board nominates another candidate, the proxies could use their
discretion to vote for that nominee. Each Director elected at
the 2006 Annual Meeting will be elected to serve as a Director
until ITT Industries next Annual Meeting.
7
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the
election of each of the following nine nominees:

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committee pre-approves audit services provided by the
Independent Auditor and outsourced internal auditor
(Internal Auditor).
The Audit Committee has also adopted a policy addressing
pre-approval of non-audit services provided by the Independent
Auditor and non-audit services provided by the Companys
Internal Auditor. The purpose of the policy is to clearly
identify circumstances where the Independent Auditor and the
Internal Auditor may perform non-audit services and where such
services shall require further approval by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has determined that, where practical, all
non-audit services shall first be placed for competitive bid
prior to selection of a service provider. Management may select
the party deemed best suited for the particular engagement,
which may or may not be the Independent Auditor or the Internal
Auditor. Providers other than the Independent Auditor and
Internal Auditor shall be preferred in the selection process.
The policy and its implementation are reviewed and reaffirmed on
a regular basis to assure conformance with applicable rules.
The Audit Committee has approved specific categories of
audit-related services and tax services incidental to the normal
auditing function which the Independent Auditor may provide
without further Audit Committee approval. These categories are:
|
|
1. |
Due diligence, closing balance sheet audit services, purchase
price dispute support and other services related to mergers,
acquisitions and divestitures; |
|
2. |
Employee benefit advisory services, independent audits and
preparation of tax returns for the Companys defined
contribution, defined benefit and health and welfare benefit
plans, preparation of the associated tax returns or other
employee benefit advisory services; and |
15
|
|
3. |
Tax work incidental to the normal auditing functions. |
The Audit Committee has also approved specific categories of
audit-related services, including assessment and review of
internal controls and effectiveness of those controls, which the
Internal Auditor may provide without further approval. However,
if fees for any pre-approved non-audit services provided by
either of the Independent Auditor or the Internal Auditor exceed
a pre-determined threshold during any calendar year, any
additional proposed non-audit services provided by that service
provider must be submitted for prior approval by the Audit
Committee. Other audit-related and tax services are also subject
to specific prior approval if the prospective fee exceeds a
pre-determined threshold. The Audit Committee reviews the fees
paid or committed to the Independent Auditor and the Internal
Auditor on at least a quarterly basis.
The Company may not engage the Independent Auditor to provide
the services described below:
|
|
1. |
Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records
or financial statements of the Company; |
|
2. |
Financial information systems design and implementation; |
|
3. |
Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or
contribution-in-kind
reports; |
|
4. |
Actuarial services; |
|
5. |
Internal auditing services; |
|
6. |
Management functions or human resources services; |
|
7. |
Broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking
services; or |
|
8. |
Legal services and other expert services unrelated to the audit. |
Employees of the Independent Auditor and the Internal Auditor
who are senior manager level or above and have had any
involvement with the Company in the independent audit and/or
internal audit activities shall not be employed by the Company
in any capacity for a period of five years after the termination
of their activities on behalf of the Company.
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR
ratification of appointment of the Companys Independent
Auditor.
C. Amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation
The Companys Board of Directors has adopted, and
recommends that shareholders approve at the 2006 Annual Meeting
a proposal to amend ARTICLE FIRST of the Companys Restated
Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the corporation
to ITT Corporation, to be effective July 1,
16
2006. This proposal will be approved if more shares are voted in
favor of the proposal than against it.
Market research with both internal and external audiences
provided compelling evidence that the name ITT
Industries does not fully reflect the current breadth and
scope of the Companys activities. The Company was
incorporated under the name ITT Industries in 1995
to distinguish itself from other entities with similar names.
Subsequently these other entities have either been acquired by
companies that chose not to use the ITT name, or they have
chosen new company names that do not incorporate the ITT name.
The Company feels that the diverse range of businesses and
markets it now serves is best reflected by the proposed name
ITT Corporation.
The Board of Directors believes that the proposed amendment to
the Restated Articles of Incorporation shown below is in the
best interest of the Company and its shareholders:
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
(AS PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED)
ARTICLE FIRST
The name of the corporation is ITT Corporation (the
Corporation).
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the
amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation to change
the name of the Company from ITT Industries, Inc. to ITT
Corporation, to be effective July 1, 2006.
Information about the Board of Directors
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors sets policy for ITT Industries and advises and
counsels the chief executive officer and the executive officers
who manage the Companys business and affairs. The Board of
Directors is responsible for assuring that:
|
|
|
|
|
there is continuity in the leadership of the Company; |
|
|
|
management develops sound business strategies; |
|
|
|
adequate capital and managerial resources are available to
implement the business strategies; |
|
|
|
the Companys systems of financial reporting and internal
controls are adequate and properly implemented; |
|
|
|
the Companys businesses are conducted in conformity with
applicable laws and regulations; |
|
|
|
the Companys long-term strategies, significant investments
in new businesses, joint ventures and partnerships and
significant business acquisitions, including assessment of
balance sheet impacts and other financial matters are reviewed
and approved; and |
17
|
|
|
|
|
the Companys operating plans and capital, research and
development and engineering budgets are reviewed and approved. |
The Board of Directors has adopted principles for governance of
the Board (the Corporate Governance Principles) and
charters for each of its standing committees. The Corporate
Governance Principles provide, among other things, that a
Coordinating Director shall be selected from the Committee
chairs, on a rotating basis, to preside at meetings of the Board
of Directors at which the Chairman is not present, including
regularly scheduled private sessions of the non-employee
Directors. Each Coordinating Director serves until the next
regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, whichever
occurs first.
The Corporate Governance Principles further provide that
Directors must be able to devote the requisite time for
preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and
Board Committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in
other matters necessary for good corporate governance. To help
assure that Directors are able to fulfill their commitments to
the Company, the Corporate Governance Principles provide that
Directors who are chief executive officers of publicly-traded
companies may serve on not more than two public company boards
(including the ITT Industries Board) in addition to
service on their own board and other Directors may not serve on
more than four public company boards (including the ITT
Industries Board).
The Corporate Governance Principles and Committee Charters are
reviewed by the Board at least annually and posted on the
Companys website at www.itt.com. The Boards
Corporate Governance Principles are attached as Appendix I
to this Proxy Statement. A copy of the Corporate Governance
Principles will be provided, free of charge, to any shareholder
upon request to the Corporate Secretary.
The Company has also adopted the ITT Industries, Inc. Code of
Corporate Conduct which applies to the Companys chief
executive officer, chief financial officer and principal
accounting officer. The Code of Corporate Conduct is also posted
on the Companys website at www.itt.com. The Company
discloses any changes or waivers from its code of ethics on its
website for the Companys chief executive officer, chief
financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller
and other executive officers. A copy of the Corporate Conduct
will be provided, free of charge, to any shareholder upon
request to the Corporate Secretary.
Communication with the Board of Directors. Interested
parties may contact the Coordinating Director, all outside
Directors as a group or an individual Director by submitting a
letter to the desired recipient in a sealed envelope labeled
Coordinating Director, Outside Directors
or with the name of a specific director. This letter should be
placed in a larger envelope and mailed to the Corporate
Secretary, ITT Industries, Inc. 4 West Red Oak Lane, White
Plains, NY 10604, USA. The Corporate Secretary will forward the
sealed envelope to the designated recipient.
18
Independent Directors. The Companys By-laws require
that a majority of the Directors must be independent directors.
The Corporate Governance Principles define independence and the
Charters of the Audit, Compensation and Personnel, and
Nominating and Governance Committee require all members to be
independent directors.
Under the Corporate Governance Principles and By-laws, an
independent director is someone who is free of any relationship
that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment,
and within the past 5 years:
|
|
|
|
|
has not been employed by the Company in an executive capacity; |
|
|
|
has not been an advisor or consultant to the Company, and has
not been affiliated with a company or a firm that is; |
|
|
|
has not been affiliated with a significant customer or supplier
of the Company; |
|
|
|
has not had a personal services contract with the Company; |
|
|
|
has not been affiliated with a tax-exempt entity that receives
significant contributions from the Company; |
|
|
|
has not been related to any of the persons described
above; and |
|
|
|
has not been part of an interlocking directorate in which an
executive officer of the Company is a member of the compensation
committee of the company that employs the Director. |
With respect to Directors standing for election at the
Companys 2006 Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors has
affirmatively determined, after considering all relevant facts
and circumstances that no Non-Employee Director has a material
relationship with the Company and that all Non-Employee
Directors meet the independence standards of the Corporate
Governance Principles and By-laws as well as the independence
definition in the final New York Stock Exchange corporate
governance rules for listed companies. The following are the
independent directors standing for election: Drs. Crawford
and Hamre, Messrs. Hake, MacInnis, LeBoeuf and Tambakeras,
Mrs. Gold and Ms. Sanford.
Director Selection and Composition. Directors of the
Company must be persons of integrity, with significant
accomplishments and recognized business stature.
To be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee as a
Director candidate, a nominee must meet the requirements of the
Companys By-laws and Corporate Governance Principles. A
nominee should also have experience as a board member, chief
executive officer or senior officer of a publicly traded or
large privately held company, or have achieved recognized
prominence in a relevant field as, for example, a distinguished
faculty member of a highly regarded educational institution or
senior governmental official. In addition to these minimum
qualifications, the Nominating and Governance Committee
19
evaluates each nominees skills to determine if those
skills are complementary to the skills demonstrated by current
Board members. The Nominating and Governance Committee also
evaluates the Boards needs for operational, technical,
management, financial, international or other expertise.
Prior to recommending nominees for election as Directors, the
Companys Nominating and Governance Committee engages in a
deliberative, evaluative process to assure each nominee
possesses the skills and attributes that individually, and
collectively will contribute to an effective Board of Directors.
Biographical information for each candidate for election as a
Director is evaluated and candidates for election participate in
interviews with existing Board members and management, and are
subject to thorough background checks. Director nominees must be
willing to commit the requisite time for preparation and
attendance at regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings
and participation in other matters necessary for good corporate
governance.
The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies Director
candidates through a variety of sources including personal
references and business contacts. On occasion the Nominating and
Governance Committee utilizes a search firm to identify and
screen Director candidates and pays a fee to that firm for each
such candidate elected to the Board of the Company.
Committees of the Board of Directors. The four standing
Committees of the Board described below perform essential
corporate governance functions. The post of Committee Chair
rotates every four years and members of each Committee are
rotated periodically to assure that fresh points of view are
reflected.

The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the
Nominating and Governance Committee meets the independence
standards set out in the Boards Nominating and Governance
Committee Charter and Corporate Governance Principles and the
requirements of the New York Stock Exchange currently in effect.
A copy of the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter is
available on the Companys website
(www.itt.com/profile/govandcharters.asp). The Company
will provide, free of charge, a copy of the Nominating and
Governance Committee Charter to any shareholder, upon request to
the Company Secretary.
During 2005, there were 6 regularly scheduled Board meetings, 2
special Board meetings and 23 meetings of standing Committees.
All Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all
meetings of the Board and standing Committees on which they
served.
It is Company practice that all Directors attend the
Companys Annual Meeting. Eight Directors attended the
Companys 2005 Annual Meeting. Mr. LeBoeuf was unable
to attend due to a previously scheduled commitment. For 2006,
the Board has scheduled five regular meetings. In conjunction
with the regular meetings, those Directors who are not employees
of ITT Industries are scheduled to meet privately (without
management) following each Board meeting during the year. The
Coordinating Director presides over these private meetings.
Compensation of Non-Employee Directors. Shareholders of
the Company adopted the ITT Industries, Inc. 2003 Equity
Incentive Plan, the 2003 Plan, pursuant to which
restricted shares and options are granted to Non-Employee
Directors. Share number and price information discussed below
reflects the Companys February 21, 2006 2:1 stock
split.
Under the Non-Employee Director compensation program adopted in
2003 Non-Employee Directors received: $50,000 as a retainer
payable in restricted stock, $25,000 in lieu of meeting fees,
payable at the election of each Director, in cash, deferred cash
or additional restricted stock and a stock option award valued
at $25,000. Directors were able to irrevocably elect, on an
annual basis, to defer receipt of the cash portion to a future
date. Such cash amounts were treated as though invested in an
interest bearing account or in a fund that tracks the
performance of ITT Industries common stock as selected by
the Director.
In 2005, the actual number of stock options awarded was
calculated by dividing $25,000 by $11.73, the
Black-Scholes value of
an ITT Industries stock option, consistent with the method
used for the employee stock option program, rounded to the
nearest 10 shares. That number of options, 2140, was received on
March 8, 2005, at an exercise price of $45.47 per
share, the closing price of ITT shares on that date.
Non-Employee Directors also received 1,092 shares of
restricted stock on May 10, 2005 as their annual retainer.
In lieu of meeting
28
fees, Drs. Crawford and Hamre, and Mr. Tambakeras
elected to receive an additional 546 shares of restricted
stock, Ms. Sanford and Mr. Hake elected to receive
cash and Mr. LeBoeuf, Mr. MacInnis and Mrs. Gold
elected deferred cash.
Effective December 1, 2005, the Board of Directors of ITT
Industries, (upon the recommendation of its Nominating and
Governance Committee,) approved changes to its Non-Employee
Director compensation program. As approved,
Non-Employee Directors
receive total annual compensation in the amount of $180,000.
Such compensation is payable as follows:
|
|
|
$50,000, payable at the election of each Non-Employee Director
in cash or deferred cash. Directors choosing deferred cash may
irrevocably elect to have the deferred cash deposited into an
interest-bearing cash account, at an interest rate determined as
of the Companys next annual meeting, or deposited into an
account that tracks an index of the Companys common stock; |
|
|
2/3
of the remainder in restricted shares; and |
|
|
1/3
of the remainder in non-qualified stock options. |
Additionally, the Board of Directors of ITT Industries approved
(with the Audit Committee Chair abstaining) a supplemental
retainer of $10,000 in cash to be paid to the Audit Committee
chair, effective as of the Companys 2006 Annual Meeting.
In order to implement these changes on the December 1, 2005
effective date, the Board of Directors of ITT Industries
approved a compensation adjustment for each Non-Employee
Director for the 2005-2006 tenure in the amount of $40,000. The
compensation adjustment was made in a form consistent with the
election previously made for the 2005-2006 tenure by each
Non-Employee Director. Drs. Crawford and Hamre, and
Mr. Tambakeras each received an additional grant of
874 shares of ITT restricted stock. Mr. Hake and
Mrs. Sanford elected to receive payment in cash.
Mrs. Gold and Messrs. LeBoeuf and MacInnis elected to
receive deferred cash.
On March 6, 2006 each Non-Employee Director was awarded a
stock option grant of 3,040 shares at an option exercise
price of $52.68 per share, the closing price of shares on
that date. In 2006, the actual number of stock options was
calculated by dividing $40,000 by $13.18, the binomial lattice
valuation model for an ITT Industries stock option,
consistent with the method used for the employee stock option
program, rounded up to the nearest 10 shares.
The number of restricted shares, rounded to the nearest share,
granted in May 2005, for all Non-Employee Directors under the
Non-Employee Director compensation program adopted in 2003 and
for the three Non-Employee Directors receiving restricted shares
under the adjustment effective December 1, 2005, was
determined by dividing $50,000 and $40,000, for the May 2005
grant and December 2005 grant respectively, by $45.83, the
average
29
of the high and low sales prices per share of ITT
Industries common stock on the date of the annual meeting
or as soon thereafter as legally permissible. Directors receive
dividends on the restricted shares and may vote the shares
during the restriction period. Restricted stock granted under
these programs is held in escrow by the Company until the
restrictions lapse. Non-Employee Director stock option grants
are priced and awarded on the same day that employee stock
options are priced and awarded.
The Board of Directors share ownership guidelines
currently provide for share ownership levels at five times the
annual retainer amount. Directors are encouraged to elect
restricted stock as a component of the retainer until such time
as his or her total share ownership meets or exceeds the
ownership guidelines.
Mr. Loranger, as an employee Director, does not receive
compensation for his Board service.
Restricted shares awarded under the ITT Industries 1996
Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, which preceded
the 2003 Plan, provided that each Directors restricted
shares are held in escrow and may not be transferred in any
manner until one of the following events occurs:
|
|
|
|
|
the fifth anniversary of the grant of the shares unless extended
as described below; |
|
|
|
the Director retires at age 72; |
|
|
|
there is a change of control of the Company; |
|
|
|
the Director becomes disabled or dies; |
|
|
|
the Directors service is terminated in certain specified,
limited circumstances; or |
|
|
|
any other circumstance in which the Compensation and Personnel
Committee believes, in its sole discretion, that the purposes
for which the grants of restricted stock were made have been
fulfilled and, as such, is consistent with the intention of the
Plan. |
Under the 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors,
Non-Employee Directors may choose to extend the restriction
period for up to two successive five year periods, or until six
months and one day following the Non-Employee Directors
termination from service from the Board under certain permitted
circumstances. The ITT Industries 1996 Restricted Stock
Plan for Non-Employee Directors also provided that if a Director
ceased serving on the Board under any other circumstances,
shares with respect to which the Plan restrictions have not been
lifted would be forfeited. Under the 2003 Plan, the Compensation
and Personnel Committee determines transfer restrictions and the
period of restriction for restricted stock granted pursuant to
that Plan. Directors may choose to extend the restriction period
for up to two successive five year periods, or until six months
and one day following the
30
Directors termination of service from the Board under
certain permitted circumstances.
ITT Industries, Inc. reimburses Directors for expenses they
incur to travel to and from Board, Committee and shareholder
meetings and for other Company-business related expenses
(including the travel expenses of spouses if they are
specifically invited to attend an event for appropriate business
purposes). Such travel may include use of the Company aircraft
if available and approved in advance by the Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer. Airfare is reimbursed at no
greater than first-class travel rates.
Indemnification and Insurance. As permitted by its
By-laws, ITT Industries indemnifies its Directors to the full
extent permitted by law and maintains insurance to protect the
Directors from liabilities, including certain instances where it
could not otherwise indemnify them. All Directors are covered
under a non-contributory group accidental death and
dismemberment policy that provides each of them with $750,000 of
coverage. They may elect to purchase additional coverage under
that policy. Non-Employee Directors also may elect to
participate in an optional non-contributory group life insurance
plan that provides $100,000 of coverage.

constitute soliciting material and the Report should not be
deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other
previous or future filings by the Company under the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent the Company
specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.
Role of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight
on matters relating to the Companys financial reporting
process and assures that the Company develops and maintains
adequate financial controls and procedures, and monitors
compliance with these processes. This includes responsibility
for, among other things:
|
|
|
determination of qualifications and independence of the
independent auditors; |
|
|
the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent
auditors in preparing or issuing audit reports and related work; |
|
|
review of financial reports and other financial information
provided by the Company, its systems of internal accounting and
financial controls, and the annual independent audit of the
Companys financial statements; |
|
|
oversight and review of procedures developed for consideration
of accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing related
complaints; |
|
|
review of risk assessment and risk management processes; and |
|
|
adoption of and monitoring the implementation and compliance
with the Companys non-audit services policy. |
The Audit Committee also has oversight responsibility for
confirming the scope and monitoring the progress and results of
internal audits conducted by the Companys Internal
Auditor. The Audit Committee discussed with the Companys
Internal Auditors and Independent Auditors the plans for their
respective audits. The Audit Committee met with the Internal
Auditors and Independent Auditors, with and without management
present, and discussed results of their examinations, their
evaluation of the Companys internal controls, and the
Companys financial reporting.
The Companys management has primary responsibility for the
financial statements, including the Companys system of
disclosure and internal controls. The Audit Committee may
investigate any matter brought to its attention. In that regard,
the Audit Committee has full access to all books, records,
facilities and personnel of the Company and the Audit Committee
may retain outside counsel, auditors or other independent
experts to assist the Committee in performing its
responsibilities. Any individual may also bring matters to the
Audit Committee confidentially or on an anonymous basis, by
submitting the matter in a sealed envelope addressed to the
Audit Committee to the
32
Corporate Secretary who then forwards the sealed envelope to the
Audit Committee.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX)
Compliance.
The Audit Committee has responsibility for monitoring all
elements of the Companys compliance with Sections 302
and 404 of SOX relating to internal control over financial
reporting.
Audit Committee Charter.
The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the
Audit Committee, which the Board and the Audit Committee review,
and at least annually update and reaffirm. The Charter sets out
the purpose, membership and organization, and key
responsibilities of the Audit Committee.
Composition of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee is comprised of four members of the
Companys Board. The Board of Directors has determined that
each Audit Committee member meets the independence standards set
out in the Audit Committee Charter and Corporate Governance
Principles and the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange
currently in effect, including the audit committee independence
requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. No member
of the Audit Committee has any relationship with the Company
that may interfere with the exercise of independence from
management and the Company. All members of the Audit Committee,
in the business judgment of the full Board of Directors, are
financially literate and several have accounting or related
financial management expertise. The Board of Directors has
identified Ralph F. Hake and Raymond W. LeBoeuf as audit
committee financial experts.
Regular Review of Financial Statements.
During 2005, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the
Companys 2005 audited financial statements with
management. The Audit Committee, management and the
Companys Independent Auditors reviewed and discussed the
Companys unaudited financial statements before the release
of each quarters earnings report and filing on
Form 10-Q, and the
Companys audited financial statements before the annual
earnings release and filing on
Form 10-K.
Communications with Independent Auditors.
The Audit Committee has discussed with Deloitte &
Touche LLP, the Independent Auditors, the matters required by

with Audit Committees (SAS 61), as modified or
supplemented by the Auditing Standards Boards of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These discussions
included all matters required by SAS 61, including Independent
Auditors responsibilities
33
under generally accepted auditing standards in the United
States, significant accounting policies and management
judgments, the quality of the Companys accounting
principles and accounting estimates. The Audit Committee met
privately with the Independent Auditors 6 times during 2005.
Independence of Independent Auditors.
The Companys Independent Auditors are directly accountable
to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. The Audit
Committee has received from the Independent Auditors required
written disclosures, including a formal written statement,
setting out all the relationships between the Company and its
Independent Auditors, as required by Independence Standards
Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees, as amended by the Independence Standards
Board. The Audit Committee has discussed the Independent
Auditors independence, any disclosed relationships and the
impact of those relationships on the Independent Auditors
independence.
Recommendation Regarding Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
In performing its oversight function during 2005 with regard to
financial statements for 2005, the Audit Committee relied on
financial statements and information prepared by the
Companys management. It also relied on information
provided by the Internal Audit staff as well as the Independent
Auditors. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with
management the Companys audited financial statements as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2005. Based on these
discussions, and the information received and reviewed, the
Audit Committee recommended to the Companys Board of
Directors that the financial statements be included in the

Form 10-K for that
year (or the Annual Report to Shareholders if distributed prior
to the filing of
Form 10-K).

Executive Compensation
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation
The Compensation and Personnel Committee (the
Committee) of the Board of Directors of ITT
Industries during the last fiscal year consisted of
Mr. Tambakeras, Chair, Dr. Crawford, Mr. MacInnis
and Ms. Sanford, none of whom is or formerly was an officer
or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Report of the Compensation and Personnel Committee
As indicated in the Committees Charter, available on the
Companys website at
www.itt.com/profile/govandcharter.asp, the purpose of the
Compensation and Personnel Committee is to provide oversight and
review of compensation and benefits provided to the employees of
the Company. The Committee evaluates and makes regular reports
to the Board of Directors on matters concerning management
performance, employee compensation and human resources policies,
programs and plans including management development and
continuity plans, and approves employee compensation programs
and benefit programs. The Committee may select, retain and
determine the terms of engagement for independent compensation
and benefits consultants and other outside counsel, as needed,
to provide independent advice to the Committee with respect to
the Companys current and proposed executive compensation
and employee benefit programs. During 2005, the Committee
retained an independent compensation consultant.
This report discusses the application of the Companys
compensation policies to ITT Industries executive officers
in general, and the rationale for the decisions affecting the
compensation as reported for 2005 of Steven R. Loranger,
each of the four other named executive officers in the Summary
Compensation Table who occupied their position on
December 31, 2005, as well as Edward W. Williams and Robert
L. Ayers, each of whom left their former positions as Chief
Financial Officer, ITT Industries, and President, ITT Fluid
Technology, respectively, during the year.
ITT Industries is a global, multi-industry engineering and
manufacturing company with leading positions in the markets it
serves. ITT Industries has approximately 40,900 employees
located in 57 countries with 2005 sales of approximately
$7.4 billion and assets of approximately $7.1 billion.
Compensation Philosophy
In establishing compensation policies and programs for 2005, the
Committee considered compensation and other benefits provided to
executives of corporations similar to ITT Industries. These
corporations consisted of leading manufacturing companies in the
S&P®
Industrials Composite Index. The
S&P®
Industrials Composite Index is comprised of a larger number of
companies than the
S&P®
Industrials Index, the peer group discussed below, and as such is
35
more representative of the broad labor market in which the
Company competes for executives.
ITT Industries executive compensation program historically
has been designed to attract, reward, and retain capable
executives and to provide incentives that vary depending upon
the attainment of short-term performance objectives and
strategic long-term performance goals. The major objective of
the short-term annual incentive program is to link performance
to specific performance targets and strategic business goals.
The major objective of the long-term incentive program is to
provide ITT Industries executives with incentives directly
linked to the creation of shareholder value. In reviewing ITT
Industries compensation programs, the Committee has agreed
with managements desire to provide a clear link between
compensation and performance. The Company believes that the
measures of performance in its compensation programs must be
aligned with the measures that are key to the success of its
businesses. The strong link between compensation and performance
is intended to provide incentives for achieving financial and
business objectives and increasing the value of the
Companys stock, thereby increasing value to our
shareholders.
The Compensation Program. The executive compensation
program of ITT Industries is based on current competitive
compensation practices as well as on performance measures and
policies that focus on the continued growth of shareholder
value. Compensation for ITT Industries executives consists
of base salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives
including stock-based programs, and employee benefits. While the
elements of compensation are described separately below, the
Committee considers the total compensation package when
determining each component of the named executive officers
compensation. The Companys philosophy is to target total
compensation at the median of its peer group, the companies in
the S&P Industrials Index, subject to individual variation
based on an executives experience and performance, and
with the ability to provide for actual compensation to be higher
or lower than the target level if performance or contribution to
the organization is above or below expectations. The Summary
Compensation Table reflects payments and awards made to
Steven R. Loranger and each of the four other named
executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table who
occupied their position on December 31, 2005, as well as
Edward W. Williams and Robert L. Ayers, who occupied positions
as executive officers during the year.
Base Salary.
Salaries are set and administered to reflect the value of the
job in the marketplace and individual contribution and
performance. Based on a recent ITT Industries compensation
survey, ITT Industries senior executive salaries are at
competitive levels. Salaries provide a necessary element of
stability in the total pay program. Salary increases are based
primarily on merit, and during 2005 the normal interval between
salary reviews for all executives was twelve months.
36
The Committee reviewed the performance of the named executive
officers of ITT Industries during 2005. The Committee will
continue to review and assess the performance of the Chief
Executive Officer and all senior executives and will authorize
salary actions it believes are appropriate, commensurate with
relevant competitive data and the approved ITT Industries
salary administration program. As of March 1, 2006, the
annual salaries of the officers named in ITT Industries
Summary Compensation Table were as follows: Mr. Loranger,
$1,000,000; Mr. Driesse, $520,000; Mr. Gaffney,
$425,000; Mr. Maffeo, $440,000; and Mr. Minnich,
$480,000. In connection with setting Mr. Lorangers
base salary, the Committee considered individual and corporate
performance as well as external market data. Mr. Williams
resigned as Chief Financial Officer on July 1, 2005, and
left the Companys employ at year end. Mr. Ayers
resigned as an officer on September 30, 2005 but continues
as an active employee through September 30, 2006.
Annual Incentive Plan.
For 2005, the named executive officers participated in the ITT
Industries 1997 Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers
(the AIP) approved by ITT Industries
shareholders in 1997. Bonus amounts paid under the AIP were
based on the financial performance of ITT Industries during 2005
as compared with the annual performance goals established and
approved by the Committee at the beginning of the 2005
performance year. The amounts paid with respect to performance
year 2005 reflect ITT Industries strong overall
operational and financial performance during the year. The bonus
awards for 2005 shown in the Summary Compensation Table
following this report include payments in accordance with the
AIP and an additional payment made outside the plan to
Mr. Maffeo in the amount of $16,402 to recognize individual
performance. For performance year 2005 the approved annual
performance goals were based 60% on Return on Invested Capital
(ROIC), 20% on Revenues and 20% on Quarterly Cash
Targets. The Company considers ROIC an easily understood
measurement of capital utilization in the Companys
businesses. Additionally, the Committee established individual
award targets which varied by position as a percentage of base
salary, with the award targets for the Chief Executive Officer
and the other named executive officers ranging from 60% to 100%
of base salary. Actual payment under the plan is discretionary,
may range from zero to a maximum of 200% of target, and may not
exceed the approved performance targets established by the
Committee.
For performance year 2006, the Committee determined that bonus
opportunities under the AIP will be dependent on the same basic
corporate performance goals (ROIC, Revenues and Quarterly Cash
Targets) with the same weighting as set forth above, except that
for the named executive officers in ITT Industries
commercial businesses (which excludes the defense industry
businesses) the first component, ROIC, is set at 40% and the
remaining 20% of the first component is dependent on Operating
Margin rate, and for the named executive officers in ITT
Industries Corporate Headquarters, the first
37
component, ROIC, is set at 40% and the remaining 20% of the
first component is dependent on Earnings Before Interest and
Taxes (EBIT) margin rate performance. This formula
change for 2006 is based on the Committees determination
that Operating Margin rate is an appropriate measure for the
performance of the Companys commercial businesses, and
EBIT margin rate is an appropriate measure for Corporate
Headquarters. Operating Margin rate and EBIT margin rate are not
employed in the defense industry businesses, as these businesses
contain components where margin rates often are contractually
limited.
For 2006, the Committee determined award targets for the Chief
Executive Officer and the other named executive officers ranging
from a minimum of 65% to a maximum of 110% of the
individuals base salary. In order for payment to be earned
under the AIP for 2006 (Base Bonus), achievement of
90% or more of the approved targets at Corporate Headquarters,
or at the relevant management company must be achieved.
Additionally, the AIP includes a 2006 Bonus Multiplier
(Bonus Multiplier) which becomes effective based on
a growth threshold determined by earnings per share from
continuing operations for 2006 over 2005. The Bonus Multiplier
will be applied to the individuals calculated Base Bonus
amount under the AIP, and is designed to place additional
emphasis on achieving premier earnings growth at the overall
enterprise level while encouraging focus on management company
and value center performance. The factors identified by the
Committee in setting the AIP bonus opportunities reflect our
commitment to profitable performance, margin rate expansion (as
applicable to non-defense businesses), revenue growth, cash
generation and ROIC expansion. The Bonus Multiplier provides a
performance factor which encourages all of our businesses to
contribute toward the Companys goal to reach premier
status. Actual individual payments under the AIP for 2006 are
discretionary and may not exceed the approved performance
targets established by the Committee. The combination of the
Base Bonus and Bonus Multiplier amount may range from zero to a
maximum 250% of target. Discretionary factors may be considered
by the Committee when determining the amounts, if any, to be
paid for performance year 2006. The Committee may make
adjustments to awards within the approved performance guidelines
based upon significant events or circumstances, including but
not limited to acquisitions, divestitures or changes in
accounting principles.
Long-Term Incentive Award Program.
ITT Industries Long-Term Incentive Award Program is based
on the competitive market and designed to link incentive awards
directly to the creation of shareholder value. The target value
of each award is determined based on market data, individual
contribution and business performance, and is approved each year
by the Committee. For 2005, all executives were eligible to
participate in the program through non-qualified stock options.
For senior executives, the total award value was split equally
between non-qualified stock
38
options and target cash awards under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan (described on page 40).
For 2006, all executives are eligible to participate in the
program through restricted stock. For senior executives and
approximately fifty-five additional executives in the next
management levels, the 2006 total award value is split as
follows: 50% in target cash based on total shareholder return;
25% in non- qualified stock options and 25% in restricted
shares. Non-qualified stock options granted in 2006 vest and
become exercisable three years from the date of grant for senior
executives and vest in one-third annual installments on the
first, second and third anniversary of the grant date for
remaining executives. The option term is seven years. For 2006,
unvested options expire upon termination of employment or
resignation.
The components of the Long-Term Incentive Award Program, which
are Stock-Based awards and Long-Term Incentive Plan awards, are
described in detail below.
Stock-Based
Awards.
Restricted Stock:
Restricted stock is the incentive component utilized for all
executive participants in the Companys Long-Term Incentive
Award Program described above. Restricted stock provides
long-term incentives that are directly related to the
performance of ITT Industries common stock and
closely align executives interests with those of other
shareholders. Approximately 392,854 shares of restricted
stock were granted effective March 6, 2006 to
428 executives under the ITT Industries, Inc. 2003
Equity Incentive Plan (the 2003 Plan). Awards to the
named executive officers were as follows: Mr. Loranger,
23,706 shares; Mr. Driesse, 5,689 shares;
Mr. Gaffney, 4,267 shares; Mr. Maffeo,
3,793 shares; and Mr. Minnich, 5,215 shares.
Restricted stock awards are subject to a three-year period of
restriction.
Stock Options:
Approximately 543,015 non-qualified stock options were granted
effective March 6, 2006 to approximately 108 executives
under the ITT Industries Inc. 2003 Plan. Options awarded under
the Plan are granted at the closing price of ITT Industries
shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant.
Grants to the named executive officers were as follows:
Mr. Loranger, 83,612 shares; Mr. Driesse, 20,067
shares; Mr. Gaffney, 17,071 shares; Mr. Maffeo, 13,378
shares; and Mr. Minnich, 18,395 shares. For
Messrs. Loranger, Driesse, Gaffney, Maffeo, and Minnich,
such options were granted on March 6, 2006 at an option
exercise price of $52.68 per share. The options granted to
Messrs. Loranger, Driesse, Maffeo and Minnich will vest and
become exercisable three years from the date of grant. The
options for Mr. Gaffney vest in one-third cumulative annual
installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the
grant date. The option term for all options granted is seven
years.
39
Non-qualified stock options issued prior to March 8, 2005
had terms of ten years. Stock options awarded to the named
executive officers, except for Mr. Gaffney, on and after
March 8, 2005 and prior to March 6, 2006 vest upon a
25% appreciation in ITT Industries common stock price for
ten (10) consecutive trading days. The options may not be
exercised, in any event, earlier than three years from the grant
date. If the option threshold is not achieved, the options vest
six years from the grant date and may be exercised for the
remainder of the option term. The option term is seven years.
The vesting conditions for Mr. Gaffneys 2005 options
are the same as for the 2006 award described above. The stock
option tables on pages 54 to 55 provide information
relating to stock options held by the individuals named in the
Summary Compensation Table on page 50. Restricted stock and
stock option awards closely align the Companys performance
in creating shareholder value.
Long-Term
Incentive Plan Awards.
The ITT Industries 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
LTIP), approved by shareholders in 1997, authorizes
performance awards to be made to key employees of ITT Industries
at the discretion of the Committee. In 2006 the Company expanded
eligibility for participation in this plan to include senior
executives and approximately fifty-five additional executives in
the next management levels, revising its prior practice that
only the most senior executives participate in this plan. Awards
granted under the plan are expressed as target cash awards and
comprise 50% of the total long-term incentive value. The balance
of the total long-term award value is comprised 25% in
non-qualified stock options and 25% in restricted stock as
discussed above.
The provisions of the LTIP provide that the Committee shall
determine the size and frequency of awards, performance
measures, performance goals and performance periods. The size of
the awards is determined by the Committee in order to meet
competitive practice. Payment, if any, of target cash awards
generally will be made at the end of the applicable three-year
performance period and will be based on ITT Industries
performance measured against the total shareholder return
(TSR) performance of other stocks comprising the
S&P Industrials Index, the performance measure approved by
the Committee prior to the performance period.
Payment, if any, of awards may be made in whole or in part, at
the discretion of the Committee, in the form of cash and/or
common stock of ITT Industries. The Committee determined that
payment for the awards granted in 2003 be made wholly in cash.
It is anticipated that future payments under the LTIP will
continue to be made entirely in cash.
The Committee granted 2006 target awards under the LTIP to
108 key employees valued at $14,490,500 and one award made
outside the LTIP valued at $500,000. The performance period with
respect to the 2006 awards is three years beginning
January 1, 2006. The 2006 target awards made to each of the
individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table are as
follows:
40
Mr. Loranger, $2,000,000; Mr. Driesse, $600,000;
Mr. Gaffney, $450,000; Mr. Maffeo, $400,000, and
Mr. Minnich, $550,000. Mr. Loranger also received a
2006 target phantom TSR Award of $500,000 which is subject to
the same performance thresholds and conditions as awards under
the LTIP. The ultimate value, if any, of each of these awards
will be determined in accordance with the established
performance measurement formula for the target awards granted in
2006. The Committee designated a minimum 35th percentile
performance level at which a 50% payout would be earned and
fixed a maximum performance payment of 200% earned for
performance at or above the 80th percentile. The payout is zero
under 35th percentile performance. The award amounts set forth
above would be the amounts earned if the formula results in
payment at the 100% level. Payment, if any, with respect to the
2006 target awards will be based on the Companys total
shareholder return performance compared with the performance of
other stocks comprising the
S&P®
Industrials Index.
Messrs. Driesse, Gaffney, Maffeo, Williams, and Ayers
received target awards in 2003 under the ITT Industries LTIP.
Mr. Loranger received a 2003 target award upon commencement
of his employment with the Company. These awards were subject to
a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2005
and were subject to achievement of pre-established goals, as
approved by the Committee in 2003, measuring ITT
Industries performance with respect to total shareholder
return against the performance of other stocks comprising the
S&P®
Industrials Index. LTIP payments were made in strict accordance
with the plan as measured for the period January 1, 2003
through December 31, 2005 and are shown in the Summary
Compensation Table on page 50. Based on the Companys
performance at the 59.53 percent rank of the
S&P®
Industrials Index, payout was at 131.77% of target, which was in
accordance with the approved formula. The Committee determined
that payment be made wholly in cash.
Payment or vesting of awards made under the Long-Term Incentive
Program would be accelerated upon the occurrence of a change in
control of ITT Industries as described on pages 57 to 59.
Mr. Lorangers Compensation Arrangements.
Mr. Loranger entered into an employment agreement
(The Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement) with
the Company under which he serves as President and Chief
Executive Officer, as well as a member of the Board of
Directors. The term of Mr. Lorangers employment
agreement is from June 28, 2004 to June 27, 2007,
subject to automatic 12-month extensions unless ITT Industries
or Mr. Loranger gives at least 180 days prior written
notice of non-extension. Mr. Loranger received a base
salary of $900,000 under the agreement, subject to increase by
the Board of Directors. He is eligible to receive an annual cash
bonus under the AIP based upon the achievement of performance
targets established by the Committee, with a target bonus equal
to 100% of his base salary and a maximum bonus equal to 200% of
his base
41
salary. In March 2006, the Committee set
Mr. Lorangers target AIP bonus at 110% of his base
salary for the 2006 performance year, such AIP award, if any to
be paid in 2007.
Pursuant to The Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement,
Mr. Loranger received a grant by ITT Industries in the 2005
fiscal year of a long-term incentive award with an aggregate
target value of $4,500,000, consisting of (i) a target
award in the amount of $1,800,000 granted pursuant to the LTIP
for the performance period January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2007 and (ii) a target award in the amount of
$450,000 under terms identical to those of the LTIP (but not
awarded under the LTIP) (the Phantom LTIP Award), to
be paid on or before March 30, 2008 in cash, shares or a
combination thereof, plus (iii) a non-qualified stock option
grant with an aggregate value of $2,250,000 made during the
first quarter of 2005 pursuant to the 2003 Plan. Mr. Loranger
also participates in the LTIP for the performance periods
January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 and January
1, 2004 through December 31, 2006, with a target award for
each such performance period of $1,800,000. Payment for the 2003
target LTIP awards was made in January 2006 and such amount
is included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 50.
Mr. Loranger also will be eligible for an additional Phantom
LTIP Award in respect of each of the 2003-2005 and 2004-2006
performance periods in the target amounts of $700,000, in
accordance with his employment agreement. Mr. Loranger received
sign-on awards of 250,000 non-qualified stock options and
250,000 restricted stock units on June 28, 2004, as
adjusted to reflect the February 21, 2006 2:1 stock split.
Mr. Loranger is eligible to participate in the Companys
benefit plans on the same basis as other senior executives, may
use corporate aircraft for business travel and occasional
personal use (when not otherwise scheduled for business use),
receives a monthly automobile allowance of $1,300, and may
receive reimbursement for the initiation fee and dues for at
least one business club.
The agreement provides for a non-qualified pension arrangement
if Mr. Lorangers employment is terminated on or after
June 28, 2009. This arrangement provides for an annuity
paid monthly over Mr. Lorangers life, calculated as a
percentage of his average annual compensation for the five years
in which his compensation was highest, which percentage ranges
from 38% if Mr. Loranger is age 57 upon the date of his
termination through 50% if Mr. Loranger is at least age 60
on the date of his termination. If Mr. Lorangers
employment is terminated prior to June 28, 2009 by the
Company without cause or by Mr. Loranger for
good reason (as each such term is defined in the
employment agreement), in either case upon or following a
change of control (as defined in the employment
agreement), Mr. Loranger shall be entitled to receive a
lump-sum payment of the actuarial present value of this
non-qualified pension. These pension benefits are offset by any
benefits to which he is entitled (or which he already has
received) under other defined benefit pension arrangements
maintained by the Company or any
42
prior employer. Mr. Loranger is entitled to retiree medical
coverage as in effect for persons joining the Company on
June 28, 2004 (the effective date of
Mr. Lorangers employment), provided that if his
employment is terminated by ITT Industries without cause or by
him for good reason on or after June 28, 2005, that
termination will be considered a retirement under
the Companys retiree medical plan and entitle him to
receive benefits under that arrangement.
If Mr. Lorangers employment terminates due to
disability, death or retirement, he (or his estate) will be
entitled to receive a pro-rata target bonus for the year of
termination and the target award for each outstanding LTIP award
and Phantom LTIP Award. If Mr. Lorangers employment
is terminated by the Company without cause or by
Mr. Loranger for good reason (other than during the
two-year period following a change in control), he will be
entitled to receive a pro-rata target bonus for the year of
termination, plus continued payment of his base salary and
target bonus for a period of two years from the date of
termination. If within the two-year period following a change in
control the Company terminates Mr. Lorangers
employment without cause or Mr. Loranger terminates his
employment for good reason, ITT Industries will pay
Mr. Loranger a lump sum payment consisting of (i) a
pro-rata target bonus for the year of termination and
(ii) a severance payment equal to three times the sum of
his base salary and the highest bonus paid to him in the three
years prior to the change in control. Mr. Loranger also
receives continued health and welfare benefits for up to two
years following a termination without cause or for good reason
(whether before or after a change in control). If
Mr. Lorangers employment is terminated at the end of
the initial term or any successive twelve-month renewal period
on account of the Company giving a non-extension notice, such
termination will be treated as a termination without cause,
except that his base salary and target bonus will only be
continued for one year. If any payments to Mr. Loranger are
determined to be excess parachute payments under
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, he will receive a gross-up payment in respect of the
excise taxes incurred by him.
All severance payments are conditioned upon
Mr. Lorangers execution of a general release.
Mr. Loranger is subject to two-year, post-termination
non-compete and non-solicitation covenants. There were no
changes to Mr. Lorangers agreement during 2005.
Mr. Minnichs Compensation Arrangements.
Mr. Minnich accepted an offer of employment with the
Company as its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, (the Minnich Letter Agreement) effective
July 1, 2005. The Minnich Letter Agreement provides for,
among other things, annual base salary, annual incentive and
long-term incentive. Under the Minnich Letter Agreement,
Mr. Minnich received an annual base salary of $460,000, and
an annual incentive payment calculated in accordance with the
ITT Industries AIP for Executive Officers. However, the Minnich
43
Letter Agreement provides that if the bonus calculated under the
plan is less than $345,000 or 75% of annual base salary, a
separate payment will be made outside the plan such that the
total payment will be no less than $345,000 or 75% of annual
base salary for the 2005 performance year. In March, 2006,
Mr. Minnich received an AIP payment of $475,000 for 2005.
Mr. Minnich also received, under the Minnich Letter
Agreement, 50,000 non-qualified stock options granted under the
2003 Plan with an exercise price of $49.27, the closing price of
ITT Industries common stock on the first day of his employment,
as adjusted to reflect the February 21, 2006 2:1 stock
split. The stock options are exercisable upon the earlier of
(1) a 25% closing share price appreciation for ten
consecutive days as reported by the New York Stock Exchange or
(2) six years from the date of grant. However, these
options may not be exercised earlier than three years from the
grant date and have a term of seven years. Mr. Minnich also
received the following target awards under the LTIP: a 2004
target award of $250,000 with a measurement period of
January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006 with
payment, if any, to be made in January 2007, and a 2005 target
award of $500,000 with a measurement period January 1, 2005
through December 31, 2007 with payment, if any, to be made
in January 2008. Mr. Minnich additionally received a
restricted stock award of 20,000 shares of restricted stock
granted under the ITT Industries 2003 Equity Incentive Plan on
his first day of employment, (as adjusted to reflect the
February 21, 2006 2:1 stock split). The restricted stock
vests in installments of 10,000 shares after three years from
the date of grant, and 10,000 shares after five years from the
date of grant. Upon termination prior to the vesting date, other
than for cause, restrictions with respect to restricted shares
lapse and Mr. Minnich will receive these shares without
restriction, upon satisfactory payment to ITT Industries of any
tax obligation.
Mr. Minnich also receives a monthly automobile allowance of
$1,300 and received reimbursement of relocation costs in
accordance with Company policy, payment of all appropriate
closing costs associated with the purchase of a residence in the
White Plains, New York area and a one-month salary as a
settling-in allowance on a tax-protected basis.
Mr. Minnich is covered under the ITT Industries Senior
Executive Severance Pay Plan, but will receive a severance
benefit equal to two years of base salary if terminated other
than for cause. If terminated other than for cause during the
first three years of employment, an additional lump sum
termination payment of $515,000 will be paid. Mr. Minnich
is also covered under the ITT Industries, Inc. Special Senior
Executive Severance Pay Plan which provides, in part, for
severance pay equal to the sum of three times the highest annual
base salary rate paid and three times the highest bonus paid in
respect of the three years preceding a change of control. For
purposes of this plan, if Mr. Minnich is terminated during
the first year of employment the base salary rate shall be the
current salary and the bonus for the performance year 2005 will
be a target of 75% of said base salary. Mr. Minnich is
eligible to participate in the Companys benefit plans on
the
44
same basis as other senior executives. There were no changes to
Mr. Minnichs agreement during 2005.
Mr. Ayers Compensation Arrangements.
On September 7, 2005, the Company and Robert L. Ayers,
formerly President of the Companys Fluid Technology
business segment, entered into a Separation Agreement and
General Release (the Ayers Agreement) effective as
of September 30, 2005. The material terms and conditions of
the Ayers Agreement provide for, among other things, a one-year
Employment Period through September 30, 2006 and a
Transition Period, both terms as defined in the Ayers Agreement,
commencing October 1, 2006 and ending on September 30,
2008. During the Employment Period, Mr. Ayers will no
longer be an officer of the Company or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries, but shall perform such duties, with respect to the
Companys Fluid Technology business segment, as shall be
assigned from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. Mr. Ayers will continue to receive a base salary
of $460,000 and benefits under the Companys salaried
benefit program through September 30, 2008. In addition,
during the Employment Period, Mr. Ayers will be entitled to
an automobile allowance of $1,300 per month, financial
counseling and tax preparation services as well as an annual
physical examination to the same extent such services are
provided to other senior executives of the Company, and use of a
reserved place at a golf facility. Mr. Ayers also received
an incentive bonus for the performance year ending 2005
(calculated at the adjusted performance factor for the
Companys Fluid Technology business segment) and will
receive a pro-rata bonus for the performance year ending 2006,
each such bonus calculated based on a target of 65% of base
salary.
Subject to the achievement of applicable Company performance
targets established under the LTIP, Mr. Ayers is eligible
to receive payment, if any, under the LTIP determined as if
Mr. Ayers employment with the Company terminated on
December 31, 2005. Payment for Mr. Ayers 2003
target award was calculated based on a 100% (36 month)
performance period ending on December 31, 2005; he received
a payment of $572,014 for his 2003 award. Any payment for his
2004 target award will be calculated based on 91.6% of the
performance period ending on December 31, 2006 and any
payment for his 2005 target award will be calculated based on
58.3% of the performance period ending on December 31, 2007.
During the Employment Period and Transition Period,
Mr. Ayers agreed that the payments and benefits provided by
the Company are contingent upon his not becoming an employee of
any other entity, and during the Employment Period not engaging
in any self-employment for remuneration. During the Transition
Period, Mr. Ayers may engage in non-competitive
self-employment with respect to any personal or family business
in which he has a significant financial interest. Mr. Ayers
is also subject to certain non-solicitation
45
restrictions, and agreed to his continued availability to render
reasonable assistance to the Company. Effective October 1,
2008, Mr. Ayers will be eligible to receive a standard
early retirement and pension benefit under the Companys
tax-qualified and excess defined benefit pension plans, and
coverage under the Companys retiree health and health
insurance plans, to the extent such plans are in effect on
October 1, 2008. There were no changes to Mr. Ayers
employment agreement during 2005.
Mr. Williams Compensation Arrangements.
In 2004, the Committee approved the compensation arrangements
described below with respect to Mr. Williams
continued employment through January 1, 2006. Pursuant to
those arrangements, Mr. Williams was paid a cash retention
bonus of $1 million upon completion of his service.
Long-Term Incentive Awards: Mr. Williams was granted a 2003
target award of $620,200 under the LTIP. Mr. Williams
received $817,238 subject to the performance of ITT Industries
during the performance period and in accordance with the
provisions of the plan. Mr. Williams was also granted a
2004 target award of $566,700. Payment, if any, will be in
accordance with the terms of the plan at the end of the
performance period. There were no changes to
Mr. Williams employment agreement during 2005.
Share Ownership Guidelines.
The Committee maintains share ownership guidelines for corporate
officers, which were approved by ITT Industries Board of
Directors during 2001. These guidelines specify the desired
levels of Company stock that each officer should own, and
encourage a set of behaviors to enable each officer to reach the
guideline levels of ownership.
The approved guidelines require share ownership expressed as a
multiple of base salary for all corporate officers. Specifically
the guidelines apply as follows: chief executive officer at five
times base salary; chief financial officer at three times base
salary; senior vice presidents and management company presidents
at two times base salary; and all other corporate vice
presidents at one times base salary.
In achieving these ownership levels, shares owned outright,
Company restricted stock and restricted stock units, shares held
in the Companys dividend reinvestment plan, shares owned
in the Companys investment and savings plan, and
phantom shares held in the deferred compensation
plan are considered. To attain the ownership levels set forth in
the guidelines it is expected that any restricted shares that
become unrestricted will be held, that all shares earned through
any payout of the Companys LTIP will be held, and that all
shares acquired through exercise of stock options will be held,
except in all cases to the extent necessary to meet tax
obligations. The Committee monitors compliance with the
guidelines periodically, and as of February 28, 2006, the
share ownership levels have been substantially met.
46
Employee Benefits.
Executives also participate in ITT Industries broad-based
employee benefits program that includes a pension program, an
investment and savings plan, group medical and dental coverage,
group life insurance, and other benefit plans. The named
executive officers also participate in certain other benefit
programs that are described on pages 56 through 62. Under
the deferred compensation plan, executives with an annual base
salary of $200,000 or more may elect to defer receipt of all or
a portion of their AIP earned payment. The amount of deferred
compensation ultimately received is based on the performance of
benchmark investment funds made available under the deferred
compensation plan as selected by the executive. Participants in
the deferred compensation plan may elect a fund that tracks the
performance of ITT Industries common stock.
Although the Committee believes that ITT Industries should
strive to structure its compensation program for senior
executives in a manner that would permit deductibility under the
Internal Revenue Code, it realizes that the evaluation of the
overall performance of the senior executives cannot be reduced
in all cases to a fixed formula. There may be situations in
which the prudent use of discretion in determining pay levels is
in the best interest of ITT Industries and its shareholders.
Under some circumstances the use of discretion in determining
appropriate amounts of compensation may be desirable. In those
situations where discretion is used, compensation may not be
fully deductible on ITT Industries tax return. However,
the Committee does not believe that such loss of deductibility
would have any material impact on the financial condition of ITT
Industries.

and Personnel Committee.

The amounts show in this column for all named executive officers
are Company contributions under the ITT Industries Investment
and Savings Plan for Salaried Employees and the ITT Industries
Excess Savings Plan, which are defined contribution plans. ITT
Industries makes a matching contribution in an amount equal to
50% of an employees contribution, such matching
contribution not to exceed three percent of such employees
salary. Under these plans, ITT Industries also makes a
non-matching contribution equal to one-half of one percent of an
employees salary. The amounts applicable to the Investment
and Savings Plan for 2005 were as follows: $7,175 each for
Messrs. Loranger, Driesse, Gaffney Williams, Ayers and
Maffeo, and $4,920 for Mr. Minnich. The amounts applicable to
the Excess Savings Plan for 2005 were as follows:

Mr. Gaffney, $4,537; Mr. Maffeo, $7,337;
Mr. Williams, $9,373 and Mr. Ayers, $8,750. Mr.
Minnich did not participate in the Excess Savings Plan since he
had less than one year in the plan and did not reach the
earnings limit. The amount shown includes a cash retention
payment of $1 million paid to Mr. Williams, as discussed on
page 46, and costs associated with a Company provided
apartment pursuant to his compensation arrangement and $3,678
for Mr. Ayers for costs in connection with his compensation
arrangement. |

Mr. Williams resigned as Chief Financial Officer on
July 1, 2005. Mr. Ayers resigned as an officer

officers as required for federal income tax purposes. None of
the named executive officers used the corporate aircraft for
personal use in 2003. |

Senior Executive Severance Pay Arrangements
Senior executives other than Mr. Loranger, who are
U.S. citizens or who are employed in the United States are
covered by the ITT Industries, Inc. Senior Executive Severance
Pay Plan. If a covered executive is terminated by
ITT Industries, that executive would be eligible to receive
severance pay unless the executive is terminated for cause,
terminated after the executives normal retirement date, or
in certain divestiture instances where the executive accepts
employment or refuses comparable employment. There is no
severance in cases where the executive voluntarily leaves the
Company. The amount of severance pay depends upon the
executives base pay and years of service. The amount will
not exceed 24 months of base pay, or be greater than two
times the executives total annual compensation during the
year immediately preceding termination. ITT Industries
obligation to continue severance payments stops if the executive
does not comply with non-competition provisions of the plan or
with ITT Industries Code of Corporate Conduct.
If a covered executive receives or is entitled to receive other
compensation from ITT Industries, the amount of that
compensation could be used to offset amounts otherwise payable
under the plan. During the period in which the executive
continues to receive severance payments, the executive will have
a limited right to continue to be eligible for participation in
certain benefit plans.
Messrs. Driesse, Minnich and Maffeo participate in the
plan. Mr. Lorangers entitlement to severance pay and
benefits upon termination from ITT Industries is set forth in
his employment agreement described on pages 41 to 43.
Mr. Minnich participates in the Senior Executive Severance
Pay Plan but will receive entitlement to severance pay and
benefits upon termination as set forth in his employment
agreement described on pages 43 to 45.
Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan
The ITT Industries, Inc. Special Senior Executive Severance Pay
Plan provides severance benefits for covered executives whose
employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, or
where the covered executive terminates his or her employment for
good reason within two years after the occurrence of an
acceleration event as defined in the Change of Control
Arrangements described below (including a termination due to
death or disability during the two-year period if the covered
executive had grounds to resign with good reason) and for
covered executives who are terminated in contemplation of an
acceleration event that ultimately occurs. The plan provides two
levels of benefits for covered executives, based on their
position within the Company. If an executive was terminated
within two years of an acceleration event or in
contemplation of an acceleration event that ultimately occurs or
the covered
56
executive terminates his or her employment for good reason
within two years of an acceleration event, he or she would be
entitled to:
|
|
|
|
|
any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus, unreimbursed expenses
and employee benefits, including vacation; |
|
|
|
two or three times the highest annual base salary rate during
the three years immediately preceding termination and two or
three times the highest annual bonus paid or awarded in the
three years preceding an acceleration event or termination; |
|
|
|
continuation of health and life insurance benefits and certain
perquisites at the same levels for two or three years; |
|
|
|
a lump sum payment equal to the difference between the total
lump sum value of his or her pension benefit under the
Companys pension plans, or any successor pension plans
(provided such plans are no less favorable to the executive than
the Company pension plans), and the total lump sum value of his
or her pension benefit under the pension plans after crediting
an additional two or three years of age and eligibility and
benefit service using the highest annual base salary rate and
bonus for purposes of determining final average compensation
under the pension plans; |
|
|
|
credit for an additional two or three years of age and two or
three years of eligibility service under the retiree health and
retiree life insurance benefits; |
|
|
|
a lump sum payment equal to two or three times the highest
annual base salary rate during the three years preceding
termination or an acceleration event times the highest
percentage rate of the Companys contributions to the ITT
Industries Investment and Savings Plan for Salaried Employees
and the Excess Savings Plan not to exceed 35%; and |
|
|
|
tax gross-up for excise
taxes imposed on the covered employee. |
Messrs. Driesse and Maffeo are covered at the highest level
of benefits. Mr. Gaffney participates at the next level.
Mr. Loranger does not participate in this plan.
Mr. Lorangers entitlement to severance pay and
benefits upon a termination from ITT Industries during the
two-year period following a change in control is set forth in
his employment agreement described on pages 41 to 43.
Mr. Minnich is covered under the highest level of benefits but
for purposes of this plan certain severance pay and benefits are
as set forth in his employment agreement described on
pages 43 to 45.
Change of Control Arrangements
The payment or vesting of awards or benefits under the plans
listed below would be accelerated upon the occurrence of a
change of control of ITT
57
Industries. There would be a change of control if one of
the following acceleration events occurred:

Salaried Retirement Plan
Most of ITT Industries salaried employees who work in the
United States participate in the Salaried Retirement Plan. Under
the plan, participants have the option, on an annual basis, to
elect to be covered under either the Traditional Pension Plan
(TPP) or a Pension Equity Plan (PEP)
formula for future pension accruals. While the TPP formula pays
benefits on a monthly basis after retirement, the PEP formula
enables participants to elect to have benefits paid as a single
sum payment upon employment termination, regardless of the
participants age. The TPP benefit payable to an employee
depends upon the date an employee first became a participant of
the Plan.
Under the TPP, a participant first employed prior to
January 1, 2000, would receive an annual pension that would
be the total of:
|
|
|
|
|
2% of his or her average final compensation (as defined
below) for each of the first 25 years of benefit service,
plus |
|
|
|
11/2%
of his or her average final compensation for each of the
next 15 years of benefit service, reduced by |
|
|
|
11/4
% of his or her primary Social Security benefit for each
year of benefit service up to a maximum of 40 years, except
that no more than one-half of the primary Social Security
benefit would be taken into account to calculate the reduction. |
In addition, under the TPP, a participant first employed on or
after January 1, 2000, would receive an annual pension that
would equal:
|
|
|
|
|
1.5% of his or her average final compensation (as defined
below) for each year of benefit service up to 40 years, reduced
by |
|
|
|
11/4
% of his or her primary Social Security benefit for each
year of benefit service up to a maximum of 40 years, except that
no more than one-half of the primary Social Security benefit
would be taken into account to calculate the reduction. |
59
For a participant first employed prior to January 1, 2005,
average final compensation (including salary plus approved bonus
payments) is the total of:
|
|
|
|
|
the participants average annual base salary for the five
calendar years of the last 120 consecutive calendar months of
eligibility service that would result in the highest average
annual base salary amount, plus |
|
|
|
the participants average annual pension eligible
compensation, not including base salary, for the five calendar
years of the participants last 120 consecutive calendar
months of eligibility service that would result in the highest
average annual compensation amount. |
For a participant first employed on or after January 1,
2005, average final compensation is the average of the
participants total pension eligible compensation over the
five consecutive calendar years of the participants final
120 months of employment which would result in the highest
average annual compensation amount.
The following table illustrates estimated annual benefits (not
including Social Security reductions) that would be payable
under the TPP formula to a participant who joined the Company
prior to January 1, 2000 and retired at age 65:

The years of benefit service through December 31, 2005 are:
Mr. Loranger, 1.51 years and Mr. Minnich
0.50 years. |
Participants who were first employed prior to January 1,
2000, retire at or after attainment of age 60 and have
completed at least 15 years of eligibility service would
receive undiscounted early retirement pensions.
Participants first employed on or after January 1, 2000 but
prior to January 1, 2005, who retire on or after attainment
of age 62 and who have completed 15 years of
eligibility service would receive undiscounted early retirement
pensions.
At the present time none of the individuals named in the Summary
Compensation Table have elected to accrue benefits under the PEP
formula.
Participants become vested in their accrued pension benefits
after they complete five years of eligibility service.
Federal law limits the amount of benefits that could be paid and
the amount of compensation that could be recognized under
tax-qualified retirement plans. As a consequence, ITT Industries
has established and maintains non-qualified, unfunded Excess
Pension Plans to pay retirement benefits that could not be
paid from the Salaried Retirement Plan. Benefits under the
Excess Pension Plans are generally paid directly by ITT
Industries. There also is an excess plan
61
trust under which excess benefits accrued by certain of the
officers are funded. Generally, participating officers may
elect, upon retirement, to receive their excess benefit in a
single discounted lump sum payment. In the event of a change
of control, any excess benefit would be immediately payable
and would be paid in a single discounted lump sum.
Mr. Lorangers employment agreement, described on
pages 41 to 43, provides for a non-qualified pension
arrangement if his employment terminates on or after
June 28, 2009 or under certain circumstances prior to that
date.
Mr. Williams retired effective January 1, 2006. In
connection with his retirement, he was entitled to a total
retirement benefit under the terms of the Salaried Pension
Program (including the Salaried Retirement Plan and the Excess
Pension Plan) of $250,097 per year. Of this amount, based
upon his election under the Excess Pension Plan for an immediate
lump sum payment in accordance with the terms of the Plan, he
was entitled to receive $2,453,775 as a lump sum following his
retirement in lieu of that portion ($181,851) of his annual
retirement benefit payable under the excess pension plan. A
portion of this amount was paid in January, 2006 with the
balance payable in July, 2006. The remainder of
Mr. Williams total retirement benefit under the
Salaried Pension Program, after reduction to reflect a
survivorship option for his spouse, will be paid in monthly
installments.
In addition to the benefit under the Salaried Pension Program,
Mr. Williams is entitled a special pension award pursuant
to the agreement entered into on February 5, 2004 between
the Company and Mr. Williams. The agreement provided for a
special pension award based on his bonus for 2005 performance
which was not considered in the determination of his benefit
under the Company plans. Under this arrangement,
Mr. Williams will be entitled to an annual benefit of
$26,719, payable in monthly installments after reduction for a
survivorship option in favor of his spouse.

ARTICLE FOURTH shall limit the power of the Board of
Directors to create a series of Preferred Stock with dividends

65
(f) In the event of the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
holders of shares of each series of Preferred Stock will be

by the Board of Directors to be cumulative, an amount equal to
all dividends accumulated and unpaid thereon to the date of
final distribution whether or not earned or declared before any
distribution shall be paid, or set aside for payment, to holders
of Common Stock. If the assets of the Corporation are not
sufficient to pay such amounts in full, holders of all shares of
Preferred Stock will participate in the distribution of assets
ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they are
entitled or in such order or priority, if any, as will have been
fixed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue
of the series of Preferred Stock. Neither the merger nor
consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other
corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or part of its
assets, will be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation within the meaning of this paragraph except
to the extent specifically provided for herein. Nothing in this
ARTICLE FOURTH shall limit the power of the Board of
Directors to create a series of Preferred Stock for which the
amount to be distributed upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation is calculated by reference to, and
the payment of which is concurrent with, the amount to be
distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock.
(g) The Corporation, at the option of the Board of
Directors, may redeem all or part of the shares of any series of
Preferred Stock on the terms and conditions fixed for such
series.
(h) Except as otherwise required by law, as otherwise
provided herein or as otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors as to the shares of any series of Preferred Stock
prior to the issuance of any such shares, the holders of
Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights and shall not be
entitled to any notice of meetings of shareholders.
(i) Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled
to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record on all
matters on which the holders of shares of Common Stock are
entitled to vote. Subject to the provisions of applicable law
and any certificate of designation providing for the issuance of
any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall have and possess the exclusive right to
notice of shareholders meetings and the exclusive power to
vote. No shareholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any
election of directors.
(j) Subject to all the rights of the Preferred Stock, the
holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds
legally available for the payment thereof, dividends payable in
cash, stock or otherwise. Upon any liquidation, dissolution
66
or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, and after the holders of the Preferred Stock of
each series shall have been paid in full in cash the amounts to
which they respectively shall be entitled or a sum sufficient
for such payment in full shall have been set aside, the
remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro
rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with their
respective rights and interests, to the exclusion of the holders
of the Preferred Stock.
SERIES A PARTICIPATING CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK
A description of such Series A Participating Cumulative
Preferred Stock with the designations, voting powers,
preferences and relative, participating, optional and other
special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions
relating thereto is as follows:
|
|
|
SECTION 1. Designation and Number of
Shares. The shares of such series shall be designated as
Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred
Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock),
without par value. The number of shares initially constituting
the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 300,000; provided,
however, that, if more than a total of 300,000 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon the
exercise of Rights (the Rights) issued pursuant to
that Rights Agreement between the Corporation and The Bank of
New York, a New York banking corporation, as Rights Agent (the
Rights Agreement), the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, pursuant to
Section 23-1-25-2(d)
of the Business Corporation Law of the State of Indiana, shall
direct by resolution or resolutions that articles of amendment
be properly executed and delivered to the Secretary of State for
the State of Indiana for filing in accordance with the
provisions of
Section 23-1-18-1
and
Section 23-1-38-6
thereof, providing for the total number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock authorized to be issued to be
increased (to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation then
permit) to the largest number of whole shares (rounded up to the
nearest whole number) issuable upon exercise of such Rights. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Dividends or
Distributions. (a) Subject to the prior and superior
rights of the holders of shares of any other series of Preferred
Stock or other class of capital stock of the Corporation ranking
prior and superior to the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive,
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the
assets of the Corporation legally available therefor,
(1) quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of
each fiscal quarter in each year, or such other dates as the
Board of Directors of the Corporation shall approve (each such
date being referred to herein as a Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment |
67
|
|
|
Date after the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a
share of Series A Preferred Stock, in the amount of
$.01 per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) less the
amount of all cash dividends declared on the Series A
Preferred Stock pursuant to the following clause (2) since
the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or,
with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since
the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of
Series A Preferred Stock (the total of which shall not, in
any event, be less than zero) and (2) dividends payable in
cash on the payment date for each cash dividend declared on the
Common Stock in an amount per whole share (rounded to the
nearest cent) equal to the Formula Number (as hereinafter
defined) then in effect times the cash dividends then to be paid
on each share of Common Stock. In addition, if the Corporation
shall pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common
Stock payable in assets, securities or other forms of noncash
consideration (other than dividends or distributions solely in
shares of Common Stock), then, in each such case, the
Corporation shall simultaneously pay or make on each outstanding
whole share of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend or
distribution in like kind equal to the Formula Number then in
effect times such dividend or distribution on each share of the
Common Stock. As used herein, the Formula Number
shall be 1,000; provided, however, that, if at any time
after the Distribution Record Date (as defined in that Notice of
Special Meeting and Proxy Statement, dated August 30, 1995,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by ITT
Corporation), the Corporation shall (i) declare or pay any
dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock
or make any distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide (by a stock split or otherwise) the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine (by a reverse stock
split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such
event the Formula Number shall be adjusted to a number
determined by multiplying the Formula Number in effect
immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are
outstanding immediately prior to such event (and rounding the
result to the nearest whole number); and provided
further, that, if at any time after the Distribution Record
Date, the Corporation shall issue any shares of its capital
stock in a merger, reclassification, or change of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the
Formula Number shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such
merger, reclassification or change so that each share of
Preferred Stock continues to be the economic equivalent of a
Formula Number of shares of Common Stock prior to such merger,
reclassification or change. |
68
|
|
|
(b) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or
distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 2(a) immediately prior to or at the same time it
declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other
than a dividend or distribution solely in shares of Common
Stock); provided, however, that, in the event no dividend
or distribution (other than a dividend or distribution in shares
of Common Stock) shall have been declared on the Common Stock
during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a
dividend of $.01 per share on the Series A Preferred
Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date. The Board of Directors may fix a record
date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock entitled to receive a dividend or distribution
declared thereon, which record date shall be the same as the
record date for any corresponding dividend or distribution on
the Common Stock. |
|
|
(c) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from and
after the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the
date of original issue of such shares of Series A Preferred
Stock; provided, however, that dividends on such shares
which are originally issued after the record date for the
determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and on or prior
to the next succeeding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date shall
begin to accrue and be cumulative from and after such Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends
on shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are originally
issued prior to the record date for the determination of holders
of shares or Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a
quarterly dividend on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
shall be calculated as if cumulative from and after the last day
of the fiscal quarter next preceding the date of original
issuance of such shares. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not
bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such
dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall
be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such
shares at the time outstanding. |
|
|
(d) So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions shall
be declared, paid or distributed, or set aside for payment or
distribution, on the Common Stock unless, in each case, the
dividend required by this Section 2 to be declared on the
Series A Preferred Stock shall have been declared. |
69
|
|
|
(e) The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other
distributions except as provided herein. |
|
|
|
SECTION 3. Voting Rights. The
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have
the following voting rights: |
|
|
|
(a) Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to a number of votes equal to the Formula Number then
in effect, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held
of record on each matter on which holders of the Common Stock or
shareholders generally are entitled to vote, multiplied by the
maximum number of votes per share which any holder of the Common
Stock or shareholders generally then have with respect to such
matter (assuming any holding period or other requirement to vote
a greater number of shares is satisfied). |
|
|
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable
law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one
class for the election of directors of the Corporation and on
all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the
Corporation. |
|
|
(c) If, at the time of any annual meeting of shareholders
for the election of directors, the equivalent of six quarterly
dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on any share or
shares of Series A Preferred Stock are in default, the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the
Corporation shall be increased by two. In addition to voting
together with the holders of Common Stock for the election of
other directors of the Corporation, the holders of record of the
Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class to
the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled
at said meeting of shareholders (and at each subsequent annual
meeting of shareholders), unless all dividends in arrears have
been paid or declared and set apart for payment prior thereto,
to vote for the election of two directors of the Corporation,
the holders of any Series A Preferred Stock being entitled
to cast a number of votes per share of Series A Preferred
Stock equal to the Formula Number. Until the default in payments
of all dividends which permitted the election of said directors
shall cease to exist, any director who shall have been so
elected pursuant to the next preceding sentence may be removed
at any time, either with or without cause, only by the
affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at the time entitled to cast a majority of the
votes entitled to be cast for the election of any such director
at a special meeting of such holders called for that purpose,
and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the vote of
such holders. If and |
70
|
|
|
when such default shall cease to exist, the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be divested of the foregoing
special voting rights, subject to revesting in the event of each
and every subsequent like default in payments of dividends. Upon
the termination of the foregoing special voting rights, the
terms of office of all persons who may have been elected
directors pursuant to said special voting rights shall forthwith
terminate, and the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors shall be reduced by two. The voting rights granted by
this Section 3(c) shall be in addition to any other voting
rights granted to the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock in this Section 3. |
|
|
(d) Except as provided herein, in Section 11 or by
applicable law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be
required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with
holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for authorizing or
taking any corporate action. |
|
|
|
SECTION 4. Certain Restrictions.
(a) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as
provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until
all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or
not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall
not |
|
|
|
(i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other
distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the
Series A Preferred Stock; |
|
|
(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other
distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid
ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity
stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion
to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are
then entitled; |
|
|
(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as
to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
with the Series A Preferred Stock; provided that the
Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise
acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares
of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the
Series A Preferred Stock; or |
71
|
|
|
(iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock
ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock,
except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by
publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all
holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of
Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend
rates and other relative rights and preferences of the
respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith
will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective
series or classes. |
|
|
|
(b) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation
could, under paragraph (a) of this Section 4,
purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner. |
|
|
|
SECTION 5. Liquidation Rights. Upon
the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
whether voluntary or involuntary, no distribution shall be made
(1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior
(either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior
thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have received an amount, equal to the accrued and unpaid
dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to
the date of such payment, plus an amount equal to the greater of
(x) $.01 per whole share or (y) an aggregate
amount per share equal to the Formula Number then in effect
times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to
holders of Common Stock or (2) to the holders of stock
ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred
Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A
Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to
the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are
entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up;
provided that in no event shall the amount or amounts, if
any, exceed $100 per share plus accrued dividends in the
case of involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation. |
|
|
SECTION 6. Consolidation, Merger,
etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any
consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which
the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into
other stock or securities, cash or any other property, then in
any such case the then outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or
changed into an amount per share equal to the Formula Number
then in effect times the aggregate amount of stock, securities,
cash or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may
be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is
exchanged or |
72
|
|
|
changed. In the event both this Section 6 and
Section 2 appear to apply to a transaction, this
Section 6 will control. |
|
|
SECTION 7. No Redemption; No Sinking
Fund. (a) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall not be subject to redemption by the Corporation or at the
option of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock;
provided, however, that the Corporation may purchase or
otherwise acquire outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock in the open market or by offer to any holder or holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock. |
|
|
|
(b) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not
be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement or
sinking fund. |
|
|
|
SECTION 8. Ranking. The
Series A Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other
series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, unless the Board
of Directors shall specifically determine otherwise in fixing
the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional
and other special rights of the shares of such series and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. |
|
|
SECTION 9. Fractional Shares. The
Series A Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of
the Rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement in whole
shares or in any fraction of a share that is one one-thousandths
(1/1,000ths) of a share or any integral multiple of such
fraction which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such
holders fractional shares, to receive dividends, exercise
voting rights, participate in distributions and to have the
benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A
Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, the Corporation,
prior to the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share
of Series A Preferred Stock, may elect (1) to make a
cash payment as provided in the Rights Agreement for fractions
of a share other than one one-thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a
share or any integral multiple thereof or (2) to issue
depository receipts evidencing such authorized fraction of a
share of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to an
appropriate agreement between the Corporation and a depository
selected by the Corporation; provided that such agreement
shall provide that the holders of such depository receipts shall
have all the rights, privileges and preferences to which they
are entitled as holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. |
|
|
SECTION 10. Reacquired Shares. Any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be
retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All
such shares shall upon their cancelation become authorized but

series until such shares are once more designated as part of a
particular series by the Board of Directors pursuant to the
provisions of ARTICLE FOURTH of the Articles of
Incorporation. |
73
|
|
|
SECTION 11. Amendment. None of the
powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and
other special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock as
provided herein or in the Articles of Incorporation shall be
amended in any manner which would alter or change the powers,
preferences, rights or privileges of the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely
without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
662/3%
of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
voting as a separate class, provided, however, that no
such amendment approved by the holders of at least
662/3
% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be deemed to apply to the powers, preferences,
rights or privileges of any holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock originally issued upon exercise of a Right after
the time of such approval without the approval of such holder. |
ARTICLE FIFTH

misconduct or recklessness or (b) for the payment of
distributions to shareholders in violation of
Section 23-1-28-3
of the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Any repeal or
modification of this ARTICLE SIXTH by the shareholders of
the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director or officer of the Corporation existing
at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts
or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
74
ARTICLE SEVENTH
The holders of the capital stock of the Corporation shall not be

Corporate Governance Principles

|
|
I. |
Role of the Board of Directors |
The Board of Directors of ITT Industries, Inc., an Indiana
corporation, is elected by the Companys shareholders to
oversee the actions and results of management. In discharging
its responsibilities, the Board of Directors will act in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Indiana law
also provides that the Board of Directors may consider, among
other pertinent factors, the effect of its actions on the
Companys employees, customers, suppliers and communities
in which the Company operates.
The Board of Directors sets policy for the Company and advises
and counsels the Chief Executive Officer and senior executives
who manage the Companys business and affairs.
The Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and
approving the Companys long term strategies, significant
investments in new businesses, joint ventures and partnerships
and significant business acquisitions including assessment of
balance sheet impacts and other financial matters. The Board of
Directors also reviews the Companys operating plans and
capital, research and development and engineering budgets.
The Board of Directors is responsible for assuring that:
|
|
|
|
|
There is continuity of leadership; |
|
|
|
Management develops sound business strategies; |
|
|
|
Adequate capital and managerial resources are available to
implement the business strategies adopted; |
|
|
|
The Companys systems of financial and internal controls
are adequate; |
|
|
|
The Companys businesses are conducted in conformity with
applicable laws and regulations; and |
78
|
|
|
|
|
The assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are utilized most
effectively and capital expenditures and appropriations are
reviewed. |
|
|
II. |
Board of Directors Selection and Composition |
Directors of the Company shall be persons of integrity, with
significant accomplishments and recognized business stature, who
will bring a diversity of perspectives to the Board of
Directors. The Board has responsibility for reviewing its
membership on a regular basis to assure that it possesses
appropriate skills and characteristics. The Board of Directors
shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances in
evaluating the independence of its members from management.
Immaterial business transactions conducted in the ordinary
course of business shall not be determinative of the issue of
independence.
Board members should possess such attributes and experience as
are necessary to provide a broad range of personal
characteristics including diversity, management skills, and
technological, business and international experience.
In an uncontested election any Director nominee who receives
less than 50% of the votes cast shall promptly provide a written
resignation to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance
Committee.
|
|
|
The Nominating and Governance Committee shall consider the
resignation and recommend to the independent directors of the
Board whether to accept, reject (applicable only in clearly
compelling situations) or provide an opportunity for cure with
respect to the director nominee receiving less than 50% of the
votes cast. |
|
|
The independent directors of the Board will act on the
Nominating and Governance Committees recommendation at its
next regularly scheduled Board Meeting or within 90 days
after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is
earlier. |
|
|
The Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the
reasons for its decision. |
|
|
Any Director who tenders a resignation shall not participate in
the Nominating and Governance Committee recommendation or Board
action regarding whether to accept the resignation offer. |
|
|
If each member of the Nominating and Governance Committee
receives less than 50% of the votes cast at the same election,
then the independent Directors who receive more than 50% of the
votes cast shall appoint a committee among themselves to
consider the resignation offers and recommend to the Board
whether to accept the offers. However, if the only Directors who
receive 50% or more of the votes cast in the same election |
79
|
|
|
constitute three or fewer
Directors then all Directors may participate in the action
regarding whether to accept the resignation offers. If all
Directors receive less than 50% of the votes cast at the same
election, the election shall be treated as a contested election
and the majority vote policy shall be inapplicable.
|
|
|
3. |
Service on Other Boards |
Directors must be able to devote the requisite time for
preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and
Board Committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in
other matters necessary for good corporate governance. Directors
who are chief executive officers of publicly-traded companies
shall not serve on more than two public company boards in
addition to service on their own board. Other Directors shall
not serve on more than four boards of publicly-traded companies.
|
|
4. |
Inside and Outside Directors |
A majority of the Board of Directors shall be composed of
independent directors. An explanation of the independence
standard used by the Company is included as part of these
Governance Principles.
All members of the Audit, Compensation and Personnel, and
Nominating and Governance Committees shall be independent from
management.
|
|
b. |
Former Chief Executive and Other Senior Officers |
If the Chief Executive Officer or other senior officer retires,
resigns or tenders a resignation to the Company, he or she shall
resign as a Director effective as of the same date he or she
resigns, retires from, or otherwise ceases to be an employee, of
the Company.
|
|
c. |
Change of Outside Directors Current Position |
Outside Directors should submit a resignation to the Chairman of
the Company if there is a material change in their principal
occupation or affiliation, including retirement. There should be
an opportunity for review of the continued appropriateness of
membership on the Board of Directors in this situation, and a
determination should be made as to whether or not to accept the
resignation.
In normal circumstances, only the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company shall be a member of the Board of Directors. The Board
of Directors may choose to elect another senior officer(s) to
the Board in appropriate situations.

|
|
III. |
Board Operation and Structure |
|
|
1. |
Private Sessions of Outside Directors |
Outside Directors (those not employed by the Company) shall meet
privately on a regular basis during the year. The outside
Directors will then brief the Chief Executive Officer regarding
the private session discussions.
|
