PROXY STATEMENT
 
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2014 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
What is the purpose of this Proxy Statement?
The EMCOR Board of Directors is soliciting proxies from holders of our Common Stock to vote on the Proposals to be considered at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will be held on June 11, 2014.
What is the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials?
We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials on the Internet, consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, we are mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders. You can access our proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or you may request printed versions of our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. Instructions on how to access our proxy materials on the Internet or to request printed versions are provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. In addition, you may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.
The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials is a document that:
  • Indicates that our Notice of 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement and our 2013 Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com;
  • Provides instructions on how holders of our Common Stock may vote their shares; and
  • Indicates how holders of our Common Stock may request printed copies of these materials, including the proxy card or a voting instruction form.
We will begin distributing the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials on or about April 29, 2014.
For those stockholders who have requested printed copies, we will first send or deliver copies of the proxy materials for our Annual Meeting and our 2013 Annual Report on or about April 29, 2014.
What items of business will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
At the meeting, we will:
1.
  • Vote for the election of 9 directors;
2.
  • Consider a non-binding advisory resolution approving executive compensation, as described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, executive compensation tables, and accompanying narrative disclosures below; and
3.
  • Consider the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent auditors for 2014.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of our Common Stock as of the record date of April 16, 2014 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any postponement or adjournment of the meeting.
How does the Board of Directors recommend holders of Common Stock vote on the business of the meeting?
The Board of Directors recommends stockholders vote their shares:
1.
  • “FOR” the election of each of the 9 director nominees identified in this Proxy Statement;
2.
  • “FOR” the adoption of the advisory resolution approving executive compensation; and
3.
  • “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent auditors for 2014.
How many shares can vote at the Annual Meeting?
At the close of business on April 16, 2014, we had 67,376,947 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and each of those shares is entitled to one vote.
How many shares must be present or represented at the Annual Meeting to conduct business?
Under our Amended and Restated By-laws, the holders of a majority of our shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date, present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, constitute a quorum to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
What vote is required to approve each of the items of business?
A majority of the votes cast is required for the election of directors in an uncontested election (which is the case for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting). A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain details and procedures to be followed in the event one or more director nominees do not receive a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve Proposal 3 above, the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent auditors for 2014, and any other matter that may properly come before the meeting.
Because we are asking in Proposal 2 above for a non-binding, advisory vote approving our executive compensation, there is no “required vote” that would constitute approval. We value the opinions expressed by our stockholders on this advisory vote, and our Board of Directors’ Compensation and Personnel Committee, which is responsible for overseeing and administering our executive compensation programs, will consider the outcome of the votes cast “for” and “against” when designing our compensation programs and making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not have any effect on the results of those deliberations.
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” each of the nominees listed in this Proxy Statement for director, “FOR” approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, and “FOR” ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for 2014.
How can I vote my shares at the Annual Meeting?
Voting by Proxy
Holders of our Common Stock may submit a proxy by:
  • following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to vote by telephone or the Internet; or
  • completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card or voting instruction form by mail.

Anthony J. Guzzi, Sheldon I. Cammaker and Mark A. Pompa (the “proxy holders”) have been designated by our Board of Directors to vote the shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Messrs. Guzzi, Cammaker and Pompa are executive officers of the Company, and Mr. Guzzi is also a director nominee.
  • The proxy holders will vote the shares represented by your valid and timely received proxy in accordance with your instructions.
  • If you do not specify instructions on your signed proxy when you submit it, the proxy holders will vote the shares represented by the proxy in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors on each item of business identified above on page 1.
  • If any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote the shares represented by proxy on that matter in their discretion.
If your shares are held in a brokerage account in your broker’s name or in the name of a bank or other nominee (this is called “street name”), please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee. In most cases, you may submit voting instructions by telephone or by Internet to your bank, broker or other nominee, or you can sign, date and return a voting instruction form to your bank, broker or other nominee. If you provide specific voting instructions by telephone, by Internet or by mail, your bank, broker or other nominee must vote your shares as you have directed. If you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must request a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee.
Voting other than by Proxy
While we encourage voting in advance by proxy, record holders of our Common Stock also have the option of voting their shares in person at the Annual Meeting.
Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card?
You may change your vote or revoke your proxy before the proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting by:
  • sending written notice to Corporate Secretary, EMCOR Group, Inc., 301 Merritt Seven, Norwalk, CT 06851;
  • timely delivery of a valid later-dated proxy or a later-dated vote by telephone or on the Internet; or
  • if you are a record holder, attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
If you hold your shares in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker or other holder of record.
What effect do abstentions and broker non-votes have on the items of business?
An abstention on items 1 and 2 identified above on page 1 will have no effect on the voting results for those items. An abstention on item 3 identified above on page 1 will have the effect of a vote against that item.
Broker non-votes may occur because certain beneficial holders of our Common Stock hold their shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee which is a member of the New York Stock Exchange. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the only item of business to be acted upon at our Annual Meeting with respect to which such broker or nominee will be permitted to exercise voting discretion is item 3, the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent auditors for 2014. Therefore, if a beneficial holder of our Common Stock does not give the broker or nominee specific voting instructions on item 1 or item 2, the holder’s shares will not be voted on that item and a broker non-vote will occur. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting results for such items of business.
Who will count the votes?
We have retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. for the receipt, validation and tabulation of the votes at the Annual Meeting.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
We will publish the results of the voting in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the Annual Meeting.
What is Householding?
Stockholders of record who have the same last name and address and who request paper copies of the proxy materials will receive only one copy unless one or more of them notifies us that they wish to receive individual copies. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a set of proxy materials, as requested, to any stockholder at the shared address to which a single copy of those documents was delivered. Stockholders will continue to receive separate proxy cards. If you prefer to receive separate copies of the proxy materials, contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at 800-542-1061 or in writing to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

Information on our website is not intended to be incorporated into this Proxy Statement.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We have a long history of good corporate governance practices that has greatly aided our long-term success. Our Board of Directors, which we sometimes refer to as our “Board”, and our management have recognized for many years the need for sound corporate governance practices in fulfilling their respective duties and responsibilities to our stockholders. Our Board and management have taken numerous steps to enhance our policies and procedures to comply with the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide the framework for our governance. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board, which we refer to as the “Corporate Governance Committee”, regularly reviews corporate governance developments and makes recommendations to our Board with respect to suggested modifications to our Corporate Governance Guidelines.
We have recently amended our By-Laws and/or Corporate Governance Guidelines to address majority voting in uncontested director elections, Board leadership, a mandatory retirement age for directors, stock ownership guidelines, and hedging and pledging prohibitions with respect to our securities for our directors and named executive officers in the following respects:
  • Majority Voting. Under our By-Laws a majority of the votes cast is required for the election of directors in an uncontested election (which is the case for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting). A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast for a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, our Corporate Governance Committee is to recommend whether to accept or reject that director’s resignation and/or whether to take other action. The Board is, within 90 days of the certification of the election results and after consideration of the Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, to make a determination whether to accept the resignation and/or take such other action as the Board determines appropriate. The Corporate Governance Committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board, in making its determination, are to evaluate the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and may consider any factors or other information they deem relevant. Each director nominee is required to deliver to the Company an irrevocable contingent resignation in advance of the distribution of the proxy materials for an annual meeting at which the director is expected to be nominated for election. The resignation would be effective only if the director fails to receive the requisite majority vote and the Board accepts the resignation within 90 days of the certification of the election results.
  • Lead Director. The Chairman of the Board must be an independent director unless the Board otherwise concludes that the best interests of our stockholders would be otherwise better served. A Lead Director is appointed when the Chairman is not independent, and a Lead Director may be appointed in other instances if the Board so determines. Our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Stephen W. Bershad, is independent.
  • Director Retirement Policy. Unless waived, a director may not be nominated for re-election as a director if he has or will have reached age 76 when he would otherwise stand for election. Mr. Albert Fried, who has served as a director since 1994, is not standing for re-election to the Board as he is over age 76.
  • Stock Ownership Guidelines. In an effort to further align the interests of our non-employee directors and executive officers with our stockholders, stock ownership guidelines have been adopted for our directors and for our named executive officers requiring them to own and retain a significant financial stake in the Company’s Common Stock. Under the guidelines each non-employee director is expected to own a number of shares equivalent in market value, as of October 22, 2012, the date of adoption of the stock ownership guidelines, to three times the directors’ annual cash retainer on that date, and our named executive officers are expected to own a number of shares equivalent in market value on that date based on their then respective annual base salaries, which number in the case of our chief executive officer is five times his annual base salary and in the case of our other named executive officers is three times such officer’s annual

base salary. For purposes of determining compliance with the stock ownership guidelines, shares owned separately by the individual, owned jointly with or separately with an immediate family member residing in the same household, held in trust for him or members of his immediate family members, and restricted stock and restricted stock units are counted. Directors and named executive officers have until October 2017 to satisfy the stock ownership guidelines.
  • No Hedging and No Pledging Policy. We prohibit our directors and executive officers from participating in any hedging or monetization transaction involving Company securities. The policy also prohibits directors and executive officers from holding any Company securities in a margin account and from pledging their Company securities as collateral for a loan.
Independence of Directors. To assist our Board in determining the independence of each director, our Board has adopted categorical Standards for Determining Director Independence, a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A and available at our website at www.emcorgroup.com. To be considered independent our Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with us. Our Board has determined that eight of our ten current directors are independent, including all members of the Audit Committee of our Board, which we refer to as the “Audit Committee”, the Compensation and Personnel Committee of our Board, which we refer to as the “Compensation Committee”, and the Corporate Governance Committee of our Board, and a majority of the members of the Risk Oversight Committee of our Board, which we refer to as the “Risk Oversight Committee”, as defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in the case of the Compensation Committee, for purposes of Rule 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our eight independent directors are: Stephen W. Bershad, David A. B. Brown, Larry J. Bump, Albert Fried, Jr., Richard F. Hamm, Jr., David H. Laidley, Jerry E. Ryan, and Michael T. Yonker. The other directors are Anthony J. Guzzi, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Frank T. MacInnis, our former Chairman and Chief Executive officer, who are not considered independent.
Executive Sessions of the Board. At regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, our non-management directors meet without any Company representatives present.
Board Leadership Structure. Our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Stephen W. Bershad, was elected Chairman on June 13, 2013. He served as our Lead Director from May 31, 2012 to June 13, 2013 and has served as a director since December 15, 1994. He presides at meetings of the Board and at annual meetings of stockholders and sets the agenda for our Board meetings in collaboration with our Chief Executive Officer. As Chairman and an independent director, Mr. Bershad, together with our other independent directors and our strong committee system, maintains effective oversight of management.
Board Committee Charters. Our Board has adopted written charters for its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Corporate Governance Committee, and Risk Oversight Committee. At least annually, each committee reviews its charter and recommends any proposed changes to the Board for approval. A copy of the charter of each committee is available on our website at www.emcorgroup.com.
Standards of Conduct. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all of our directors, officers and employees and those of our subsidiaries. In addition, our Board has adopted a separate Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers which imposes additional ethical obligations upon them.
Stockholder Communications. Stockholders and other interested persons may communicate with members of our Board as a group, or with one or more members of our Board (including non-management directors) as a group, by writing to them c/o EMCOR Group, Inc., 301 Merritt Seven, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Such communications will be forwarded to the individuals addressed. However, the Corporate Secretary will not forward communications to the Board that advocate illegal activity, are offensive or lewd, have no relevance to the business or operations of the Company, or constitute mass mailings, solicitations or advertisements. The Corporate Secretary will determine when a communication is not to be forwarded.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions. Under our written policy regarding transactions with related parties, which policy is contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, we generally require that any transaction involving $60,000 or more (a “Related Party Transaction”) be

approved in advance by our Board or a committee of our Board if we are, or one of our subsidiaries is, a participant in the transaction and if any of the following persons has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction:
  • an executive officer;
  • a director;
  • a beneficial holder of 5% or more of our Common Stock, which we refer to as a “Significant Holder”;
  • an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or Significant Holder; or
  • an entity which is owned or controlled by one of the above persons or in which one of the above persons has a substantial ownership interest.
We refer to each of the foregoing as a “Related Party”.
The member of the Board who or whose immediate family member has an interest in the Related Party Transaction may not participate in the Board approval process. The Related Party must disclose any such proposed transaction, and all material facts relating to the transaction, to the Chairman of our Audit Committee and our General Counsel who is to communicate such information to our Board for its consideration. No such transaction is to be approved unless it is determined that the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.
However, if the transaction principally involves the provision of products and services by one of our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of its business to a Significant Holder, an immediate family member of a Significant Holder, or an entity owned or controlled by a Significant Holder or in which a Significant Holder or an immediate family member of a Significant Holder has a substantial ownership interest, the transaction does not need to be approved by the Board or a Board committee.
In order to ensure that material relationships and Related Party transactions have been identified, reviewed and disclosed in accordance with applicable policies and procedures, each director and executive officer also completes a questionnaire at the end of each fiscal year that requests confirmation that there are no material relationships or Related Party Transactions between such individual and the Company other than those previously disclosed to the Company. During the period January 1, 2013 to April 16, 2014 none of our directors and none of our executive officers engaged in a Related Party Transaction.
Availability of Corporate Governance Materials. Our categorical Standards for Determining Director Independence, Corporate Governance Guidelines, including the policies and procedures for Related Party Transactions, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers, and other corporate governance materials may be obtained at our website at www.emcorgroup.com or by writing to us at 301 Merritt Seven, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
During 2013, our Board met 11 times, and committees of our Board held an aggregate of 12 meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of our Board and committees on which he served during 2013. As provided in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, all directors are expected to attend annual meetings of stockholders, and all of our directors attended the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders.

Our Board has standing Audit, Compensation, and Corporate Governance Committees comprised solely of independent directors as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, and a Risk Oversight Committee, a majority of the members of which are independent directors, as so defined. The members and the principal responsibilities of these committees are as follows:
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Bershad, Brown, Hamm and Laidley. Among other things, it is responsible for:
  • engaging (subject to ratification by stockholders), overseeing, and discharging our independent auditors;
  • setting our independent auditors’ fees;
  • reviewing the scope and audit procedures of our independent auditors;
  • approving audit and permitted non-audit services;
  • reviewing with management and our independent auditors our annual and quarterly financial statements;
  • receiving periodic reports from our independent auditors and management regarding the auditors’ independence;
  • meeting with our management and independent auditors on matters relating to, among other things, major issues regarding accounting principles and practices and financial statement presentation, and the adequacy of our internal audit controls;
  • reviewing our internal auditing and accounting personnel; and
  • discussing with our management and independent auditors guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, the Company’s major financial risk exposures, and steps management takes to monitor and control such exposures.
The Audit Committee met five times during 2013. Our Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee, Messrs. Bershad, Brown, Hamm and Laidley, are “audit committee financial experts”, within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Messrs. Bump, Hamm, Laidley, Ryan and Yonker. It is responsible for:
  • overseeing the evaluation of our management and reviewing and advising our Board regarding the qualifications of individuals identified as candidates for positions as our chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and general counsel and for the position of chief executive officer of each subsidiary whose proposed annual base salary is $400,000 or more;
  • reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation for our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives and, with input from our other non-management directors, determining our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation based on this evaluation;
  • reviewing and approving, based on proposals made by our Chief Executive Officer, compensation for our executive officers as well as the compensation for each of our and our subsidiaries’ other officers and employees whose proposed annual base salary is $400,000 or more and for approving, with input from our other non-management directors, any employment, severance or similar contracts for our and our subsidiaries’ officers and employees whose proposed annual base salary is $400,000 or more; and
  • making recommendations to our Board with respect to incentive compensation plans for our officers and other employees, and administering those plans and reviewing executive development plans.
During 2013, the Compensation Committee held three meetings.

Each year the Compensation Committee reviews the annual salaries of, and considers annual incentive awards for, our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers, each of whom is referred to in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Years 2013, 2012 and 2011 on page 23, which we refer to as the “Summary Compensation Table”. It also reviews the annual salary of each of our and our subsidiaries’ other officers and employees whose proposed annual base salary is $400,000 or more. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee for salary adjustments for those individuals and for the payment of annual incentive awards to all our executive officers, who we refer to collectively as the “named executive officers”. Annual incentive awards for our named executive officers are based upon our performance in meeting pre-established financial objectives during our most recently completed year and an evaluation of the individual executive’s performance in meeting his pre-established personal goals and objectives for the most recently completed year. Our Chief Executive Officer participates in a portion of the meetings of our Compensation Committee and our entire Board during which these various compensation issues are discussed. The Compensation Committee considers our Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations regarding salary adjustments and payment of annual incentive awards, arrives at its own recommendations, and then with input from the non-management members of the Board, makes its determination regarding salary adjustments and payment of annual incentive awards. The final deliberations and determinations regarding salary adjustments and payment of annual incentive awards are made at meetings without any members of management present.
Our Long Term Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the “LTIP”, provides the methodology for computing a number of stock units annually granted to executives participating in the LTIP including our named executive officers. The LTIP also provides for the grant of cash awards which, as set forth in the LTIP, are based upon us achieving an earnings per share objective for a measurement period of three years. The earnings per share objectives for measurement periods are, in accordance with the LTIP, set by the Compensation Committee after receiving recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer. The LTIP was proposed by management, reviewed by the Compensation Committee’s consultant Mercer, which we refer to as “Mercer” and, after review and modification by the Compensation Committee, approved by it and the other independent directors. The LTIP is further discussed commencing on page 17 under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”—“Long Term Incentive Plan” and under “Long Term Incentive Plan” commencing on page 24 which follows the Summary Compensation Table on page 23.
Annually, during the first quarter of each year, the Compensation Committee establishes that year’s objectives for our financial performance and the personal goals and objectives for each of the named executive officers, upon which the payment of that year’s annual incentive awards for the executive is to be based, and the targeted annual incentive awards for each such executive, the LTIP earnings per share objective for a three year period commencing with that year, and LTIP targeted awards for each such executive. Those objectives and targeted awards are recommended by our Chief Executive Officer, and are reviewed by and ultimately established by the Compensation Committee, with input from the other non-management members of the Board.
When incentive compensation plans for our named executive officers and other senior executives have been established, those plans have been proposed by management, reviewed by the Compensation Committee, and, at times, reviewed by Mercer. Mercer is a compensation consultant that the Compensation Committee has engaged annually since 2006 to advise the Compensation Committee with regard to the amount and form of compensation for our named executive officers and to review compensation plans for those officers. Mercer reviews the salaries and other compensation we pay to our named executive officers so that it may advise the Compensation Committee whether compensation paid to those executives is competitive with that paid to executives holding comparable positions at Mercer-selected companies, which are public companies engaged in providing specialty contracting, general construction, facilities services, and/or manufacturing of electrical, HVAC and other construction products and which companies have a market capitalization and other financial characteristics similar to ours, are organized similarly to the way we are, are focused principally on the United States market as we are, and with which we may compete for management talent. Such companies are listed on page 14. Mercer also reports upon its assessment of the appropriateness and fairness of our compensation plans when compared to compensation plans for comparable executives at those comparable companies. For 2013, we paid Mercer $39,794 for its services to the Compensation Committee. Mercer is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (“Marsh”). We also use Mercer and other Marsh subsidiaries (“Other Marsh Subsidiaries”) for

valuation and investment services, actuarial services, and for insurance broking and risk consulting and paid Mercer and Other Marsh Subsidiaries an aggregate of approximately $1,345,655 for such services provided to us in 2013. Mercer and Other Marsh Subsidiaries have been retained by management for such matters since 1987, and such retention is not subject to Board or Compensation Committee approval.
Role of Compensation Consultants. As noted above, the Compensation Committee has engaged Mercer for several years to assist in the evaluation of executive officer compensation and compensation programs, and management has engaged Mercer and Other Marsh Subsidiaries to provide certain other services to us and to our subsidiaries.
The Compensation Committee has considered whether the non-executive compensation services provided by Mercer and Other Marsh Subsidiaries to the Company create any conflicts of interest in light of Rule 10C-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Because of the policies and procedures that Mercer has in place, as well as the policies and procedures that the Compensation Committee has in place, the Compensation Committee has concluded that to the extent the work performed by Mercer and Other Marsh Subsidiaries may create a possible appearance of a conflict of interest, there are sufficient safeguards and policies in place to mitigate or eliminate any such conflict, and therefore, no conflict of interest exists.
The factors used by the Compensation Committee to determine that no conflict of interest exists include the following:
  • the individual compensation consultant receives no incentive or other compensation based on the fees charged to the Company for other services provided by Mercer or Other Marsh Subsidiaries;
  • the individual compensation consultant is not responsible for selling or providing other services of Mercer or Other Marsh Subsidiaries to the Company;

Corporate Governance Committee. The Corporate Governance Committee, comprised of Messrs. Brown, Bump, Fried, and Hamm, is charged with:
  • leading the search for individuals qualified to become members of our Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board and set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines;
  • recommending to the Board nominees for election to the Board;
  • developing and overseeing an annual self-evaluation process for the Board and its committees;
  • making recommendations with respect to:
  • corporate governance guidelines;
  • compensation and benefits for non-employee directors; and

  • matters relating to Board members’ retirement and removal, the number, function and membership of Board committees, director and officer liability insurance, and indemnity agreements between us and our officers and directors.
During 2013, the Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings.
The Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews compensation and other benefits for non-employee members of our Board. When the Corporate Governance Committee determines that a change in director compensation or benefits is appropriate, it submits such recommendation to the Board for its approval. At the end of 2012, the Board changed its director compensation arrangements for 2013, which compensation arrangements are described commencing on page 40 under “Director Compensation”.
Risk Oversight Committee. The Risk Oversight Committee, established in June 2013, is comprised of Messrs. Fried, MacInnis, Ryan and Yonker. It is responsible for:
  • discussing with management our risk assessment and risk management policies;
  • reviewing and evaluating the process by which risk management is undertaken;
  • reviewing and evaluating management’s identification of major risk exposures;
  • reviewing and evaluating management’s program for risk management mitigation or remediation; and
  • confirming, together with the Compensation Committee, that our compensation practices and programs do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk.
During 2013, the Risk Oversight Committee held one meeting.
Board Risk Oversight. Our Board of Directors performs risk oversight primarily through its Risk Oversight Committee whose principal responsibilities are set out above. In addition, the Board also delegated to our Audit Committee responsibility for reviewing with management and our independent auditors guidelines and policies with respect to (i) risk assessment and risk management, (ii) our major risk exposures, and (iii) the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Risk Oversight and Audit Committees receive periodic reports from our senior management, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, general counsel, and the head of our Internal Audit Department, and our auditors relating to risk assessment and risk management. Audit Committee members meet separately in executive session with representatives of our auditors and the head of our Internal Audit Department. In addition, the Chairpersons of the Audit and Risk Oversight Committees provide reports of their respective committee meetings to our Board. Our Board of Directors also provides risk oversight through its periodic reviews of the financial and operational performance of the Company.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIRECTOR CANDIDATES
The Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations for candidates for Board membership suggested by Corporate Governance Committee members, other members of our Board, and stockholders. A stockholder who wishes the Corporate Governance Committee to consider his/her recommendations for nominees for the position of director should submit his/her recommendations in writing to the Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, EMCOR Group, Inc., 301 Merritt Seven, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851, together with whatever supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate. The material, at a minimum, should include such background and biographical material as will enable the Corporate Governance Committee to make an initial determination as to whether the prospective nominee satisfies the criteria for directors set out in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available at our website at www.emcorgroup.com. A stockholder may also nominate director candidates by complying with our By-Law provisions discussed on page 49 under “Other Matters”—“Stockholder Proposals.”

If the Corporate Governance Committee identifies a need to replace a current member of our Board, to fill a vacancy in our Board, or to expand the size of our Board, the process to be followed by the committee to identify and evaluate candidates includes:
  • consideration of those individuals recommended by stockholders as candidates for Board membership and those individuals recommended in response to requests for recommendations made of Board members and others, including those suggested by any third party executive search firm retained by the Corporate Governance Committee, from time to time;
  • meeting, from time to time, to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to candidates; and
  • interviews of selected candidates by members of the Corporate Governance Committee.
As provided in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in its assessment of each potential candidate, the Corporate Governance Committee is to consider the candidate’s achievements in his or her personal career, experience, wisdom, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, and understanding of the business environment. The Corporate Governance Committee will also take into account the willingness of a candidate to devote adequate time to board duties. The Corporate Governance Committee may also consider any other relevant factors that it may, from time to time, deem appropriate, including the current composition of our Board, the balance of management and independent directors, the need for Audit Committee expertise, and the evaluation of all prospective nominees. Candidates have been selected for, among other things, their integrity, independence, diversity of experience, leadership, and ability to exercise sound judgment. Prior experience involving issues relevant to the Company’s businesses are among the most significant criteria. Final approval of a candidate is determined by the full Board. Consistent with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in selecting nominees to our Board of Directors, the Corporate Governance Committee considers the diversity of skills and experience that a potential nominee possesses and the extent to which such diversity would enhance the perspective, background, knowledge, and experience of our Board of Directors as a whole. The Corporate Governance Committee focuses on obtaining a diversity of professional expertise on our Board of Directors rather than a diversity of personal characteristics.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
The objectives of our executive compensation program for our named executive officers, which officers are referred to in the Summary Compensation Table on page 23, are to attract, retain and motivate key executives with skills necessary to assure our long-term success. Broadly stated, the purposes of the key components of the program are:
  • to reward named executive officers’ expertise and experience;
  • to reward named executive officers’ performance that drives achievement of our short-term and long-term goals by providing a strong link between pay and performance; and
  • to align named executive officers’ compensation with the interests of our stockholders.
The executive compensation program uses various compensation elements that are geared to both our short-term and long-term performance. In designing these rewards we have applied the following principles:
  • compensation should reinforce our business strategy and long-term stockholder value creation;
  • a significant portion of named executive officer total compensation should be tied to achievement of our financial objectives as well as the achievement of the named executive officer’s annual individual goals and objectives. When we exceed our financial objectives for the relevant performance period, we reward our named executive officers with incentive awards greater than their respective targeted incentive awards based on financial performance. When our financial

performance does not meet the established financial objectives, our named executive officers receive either no incentive awards based on this criteria or incentive awards that are less than their targeted incentive awards. The Compensation Committee sets the objectives for a particular performance period.
  • incentive compensation should reflect both our short-term and long-term financial performance;
  • incentives should align the interests of our stockholders and named executive officers by paying a meaningful portion of incentive awards in equity; and
  • incentive awards should serve as a recruitment and retention device so that named executive officers are motivated to join and stay with us.
The key components of our compensation program are:
  • base salary and perquisites; the perquisites, which have been provided for more than 10 years, are principally dues reimbursement for a club where the named executive officer can entertain clients and other business contacts, term life insurance, an auto allowance and associated expenses, and a tax “gross up” on these perquisites;
  • short-term incentives in the form of annual incentive awards; and
  • longer-term incentives under our Long Term Incentive Plan, which we refer to sometimes as the “LTIP” and which is discussed below and, at times, other equity grants. These incentives principally come in the form of:
  • annual equity LTIP awards in the form of a number stock units representing the right to receive an equal number of shares of our Common Stock which vest generally in three years; and
  • performance-based cash incentive awards based on our financial performance during multi-year measurement periods; and
  • certain retirement programs.
We generally condition a named executive officer’s LTIP awards on his remaining employed with us for three years from the date we grant the awards.
We also maintain a 401(k) Savings Plan. The 401(k) Plan provides retirement benefits to the named executive officers. For 2013, our annual contribution to the 401(k) Plan for each named executive officer was $12,750.
In addition, effective with calendar year 2013, we adopted a Voluntary Deferral Plan, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan offered to a select group of key employees, including our named executive officers. Elective deferrals of base salary or cash bonuses or other cash incentive compensation under the Voluntary Deferral Plan are credited to an unfunded bookkeeping account, which are also to be credited with Company matching credits and which may also be credited with Company supplemental credits.
Our 401(k) Savings Plan and Voluntary Deferral Plan are more fully described under “Retirement Plans, Severance Arrangements and Stock Options” commencing on page 20.
In severance agreements with our named executive officers, we provide special compensation to each in the event his employment is terminated (i) by us without cause or (ii) by the named executive officer for good reason. (We have set forth the definition of the terms “cause” and “good reason” contained under “Severance Agreements” commencing on page 31).
The Compensation Committee has principal responsibility for setting the compensation for our named executive officers and other senior officers. To assist the Compensation Committee, annually it retains Mercer as a compensation consultant to review the compensation payable to our named executive officers. The assignments to Mercer are made by the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. To assist the Compensation Committee in its compensation discussions and decisions, which includes salary levels, targeted annual incentive awards, LTIP targeted performance-based cash incentive awards for multi-year periods, financial measurements for incentive awards and equity awards, as discussed below, Mercer

presents compensation information compiled from proxy data and Forms 8-K from companies in a comparator group of companies developed by Mercer with input from management. This information includes annual base salary, annual bonuses, long-term incentives, including stock option and equity awards, and targeted long-term incentive performance plan awards.
For 2013, Mercer’s comparator group of companies included the following 15 public companies engaged in providing specialty contracting, general construction, facilities services, and/or manufacturing of electrical, HVAC and other construction products and which companies have a market capitalization and other financial characteristics similar to ours, are organized similarly to the way we are, are focused principally on United States markets as we are, and with which we may compete for management talent.

Each year the Compensation Committee reviews the annual salaries of, and considers annual incentive awards for, our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers. It also reviews the annual salaries of our other officers and employees and those of our subsidiaries whose proposed annual base salary is $400,000 or more. Our Chief Executive Officer participates in portions of the Compensation Committee’s meetings to make recommendations to the Compensation Committee for salary adjustments and for the payment of annual incentive awards. Payments of annual incentive awards for 2013 for the named executive officers are set out in the Summary Compensation Table on page 23 and were based upon our performance in meeting pre-established financial objectives for the year and an evaluation of the individual named executive officer’s performance in meeting his pre-established personal goals and objectives for the year. The Compensation Committee considers our Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations regarding salary adjustments and payment of annual incentive awards, considers the compensation information provided by Mercer, arrives at its own recommendations, and then with input from our other non-management directors, makes its final determination regarding salary adjustments and payment of annual incentive awards at a meeting without any members of management being present.
Our Chief Executive Officer meets with the Compensation Committee during the first calendar quarter of each year to discuss for that year targeted annual incentive awards for each named executive officer and objectives for our financial performance for the year and personal goals and objectives of each named executive officer for the year upon which the payment of that year’s annual incentive awards are to be based. Targeted annual incentive awards for each of our named executive officers for the year, our financial goals for that year, and the personal goals and objectives for each such executive for that year are recommended by our Chief Executive Officer and are reviewed by and ultimately established by the Compensation Committee, together with input from our non-management directors, at a meeting without any members of management being present.
Because, as discussed below, our annual incentive awards to named executive officers are capped at no more than 250% of annual base salary and our equity awards provide for the award of stock units vesting, generally, over a three year period and the potential of a cash award depending on earnings over a

three year period, our Board does not believe its named executive officers are encouraged to take excessive or unnecessary risk. In addition, our Board does not believe that our compensation policies and practices for employees generally are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
At our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders over 89% of the shares present at the meeting and voting “For” or “Against” the proposal were cast in favor of a resolution to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as set out in our proxy statement for that meeting. Given this percentage of votes in favor of our executive compensation, the Compensation Committee determined to keep our compensation practices in place for 2013.
Incentive awards based upon our financial results are made under our Annual Incentive Program and our Long Term Incentive Plan, subject to the performance terms and other applicable provisions of our Key Executive Incentive Bonus Plan, which, as amended and restated, was reapproved by our stockholders at our 2013 annual meeting.
Annual Base Salary
Annual base salary serves as a foundation of our compensation program. We determine the other key components of the program with reference to base salary, including annual and long-term incentives and termination payments.
We intend annual base salary and perquisites to reward the expertise and experience and sustained performance of our named executive officers, each of whom (other than Mr. Anthony J. Guzzi, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer) has been with us for more than fifteen years. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and we have generally increased named executive officer salaries to reflect promotions or increased responsibilities and cost of living increases, when appropriate, and to remain competitive with those paid by Comparator Companies. For 2013, Mr. Guzzi’s base salary was unchanged. For 2013, the base salaries of Messrs. Mark A. Pompa, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Sheldon I. Cammaker, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, and R. Kevin Matz, our Executive Vice President—Shared Services, our other named executive officers, were increased by approximately 5.2%, 1.0% and 5.4%, respectively.
Annual Incentive Program
Annual incentive awards form a significant element of annual compensation under our compensation program. For more than the past five years named executive officer annual incentive awards have been based, in large part, on pre-established annual financial results emphasizing pay-for-performance. We expect annual incentive awards to motivate our named executive officers to improve performance on an annual basis. Such performance improvements should lead to sustained growth and ultimately to enhanced stockholder value.
For 2013, each named executive officer had a targeted annual incentive award based on 2013 financial results as well as a targeted annual incentive award based on his meeting certain pre-established personal goals and objectives. The maximum potential aggregate annual incentive awards payable for 2013 to Mr. Guzzi and Mr. Pompa were 250% and 220%, respectively, of their respective 2013 base salaries and to each other named executive officer was 200% of their respective 2013 base salaries. We refer to a named executive’s maximum potential aggregate annual incentive awards sometimes as his “Maximum Potential Incentive Award.”
For Messrs Guzzi and Pompa, their 2013 targeted annual incentive awards, based upon our meeting certain financial measurements for 2013, were 100% and 88%, respectively, of their respective annual base salaries, and for Messrs. Cammaker and Matz, their 2013 targeted annual incentive awards, based upon our meeting those 2013 financial measurements, were 80% of their respective 2013 annual base salaries. We refer to this targeted annual incentive award sometimes as the “Financial Target Bonus”. The exact amount of each named executive officer’s 2013 annual incentive award that we would pay based on our financial performance ranged from 0% to the maximum percentage of his annual base salary indicated in the immediately preceding paragraph, depending on our 2013 earnings per share and the ratio of our 2013 positive operating cash flow to our 2013 operating income. When we refer to earnings per share with respect to our Annual Incentive Program, we mean earnings per share on a fully diluted basis from continuing

operations. However, in calculating such 2013 earnings per share and operating income for purposes of determining annual incentive awards there was, as provided in the program, to be excluded from such calculations (a) non-cash charges directly associated with the write-down of balance sheet values of assets, (b) investment banking, consulting, legal, and accounting fees and related disbursements directly associated with any proposed or consummated (i) sale or disposition of Company assets or securities or (ii) acquisition or investment, (c) the effect of any changes in statutory tax rates from those in effect on March 19, 2013, (d) restructuring charges due to a sale or closure of a subsidiary’s business, (e) the cumulative effect of any change in accounting principles, and (f) certain charges relating to withdrawal liabilities in connection with multi-employer pension plans and lump sum surcharges assessed by any multi-employer pension plan to ameliorate an underfunding in such plan. For the purpose of calculating operating cash flow, amounts that are the subject of clauses (a) through (f) above were, as provided in the program, to be excluded from such calculation. Mr. Guzzi, our Chief Executive Officer, together with other named executive officers, developed proposed 2013 financial measurements on which to base the payment of the annual incentive awards based on financial measurements under our Key Executive Incentive Bonus Plan. Mr. Guzzi then proposed to the Compensation Committee the financial measurements. Our Compensation Committee considered the recommendations and established financial measurements for those annual incentive awards in March 2013, taking into account the recommendations of management, our 2013 budget, and annual earnings per share guidance for 2013 that we provided to the equity markets. No annual incentive award based on these financial measurements was to be payable unless we achieved earnings per share for 2013 (adjusted to exclude certain charges as described above in this paragraph, which earnings per share we refer to herein as “adjusted earnings per share”) in excess of $1.50 and 2013 positive operating cash flow (adjusted to exclude certain charges as described above in this paragraph, which cash flow we refer to herein as “adjusted positive operating cash flow”) of at least 20% of 2013 operating income (adjusted to exclude certain charges as described above in this paragraph, which operating income we refer to herein as “adjusted operating income”). Consequently, the financial measurements emphasized earnings as well as positive operating cash flow—a measure of quality of earnings—and we linked it to guidance we provided to the equity markets.
The 2013 incentive award based on financial measurements, which could have been awarded to a named executive officer, whether at, above, or below his 2013 Financial Target Bonus, was determined in accordance with a matrix adopted by the Compensation Committee, which we refer to as the “Matrix” and which took into account 2013 adjusted earnings per share and the ratio of 2013 positive operating cash flow to 2013 adjusted operating income (the “2013 Cash Flow Ratio”). For example, if our 2013 adjusted earnings per share had been $2.05 (the low end of our 2013 earnings per share guidance of $2.05 to $2.35 per share that was provided to the equity markets in February 2013), then, in accordance with the Matrix, the named executive officer’s 2013 Financial Target Bonus could have been awarded to him only if the 2013 Cash Flow Ratio was at least 100%. If 2013 adjusted earnings per share had been less than $2.05 (but greater than $1.50), each named executive officer could have been awarded an annual incentive award based on financial measurements, in accordance with the Matrix, less than his Financial Target Bonus, the amount of which would depend upon the 2013 adjusted earnings per share and the 2013 Cash Flow Ratio (provided the 2013 Cash Flow Ratio was at least 20%). If 2013 adjusted earnings per share had been greater than $2.05, each named executive officer could have been awarded an annual incentive award based on financial measurements, in accordance with the Matrix, greater or lesser than his Financial Target Bonus, the amount of which would depend upon the 2013 adjusted earnings per share and upon the 2013 Cash Flow Ratio. The exact amount of this incentive award was determined by the intersection on the Matrix of 2013 adjusted earnings per share and the 2013 Cash Flow Ratio. In no event could an incentive award based on financial measurements have exceeded the named executive officer’s Maximum Potential Incentive Award. However, if, as indicated above, 2013 adjusted earnings per share had not been in excess of $1.50, or if the 2013 Cash Flow Ratio had been less than 20%, no annual incentive award based on financial measurements could have been paid to any named executive officer.
For 2013, our adjusted earnings per share were $2.05, and the ratio of our 2013 adjusted positive operating cash flow to 2013 adjusted operating income was approximately 73% which, in accordance with the 2013 Matrix, permitted payment to each named executive officer the following approximate percentages of his 2013 annual base salary as an incentive award in respect of our financial performance: Mr. Guzzi,

91%; Mr. Pompa, 80%; and Messrs. Cammaker and Matz, each 73%. This was the actual annual incentive award made by the Compensation Committee to each named executive officer for 2013 in respect of our financial performance and was less than his respective Financial Target Bonus.
In addition, as indicated above, under our Annual Incentive Program, during the first quarter of each calendar year, our Chief Executive Officer proposes for each of our other named executive officers such officer’s personal goals and objectives for the year, which are in addition to his normal duties and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee reviews those goals and objectives, which are subject to its approval. In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee and our Chief Executive Officer agree on his annual personal goals and objectives. Under the program we can pay a named executive officer an annual incentive award based on achieving his annual personal goals and objectives of up to two times a designated percentage of his annual base salary. In 2013, this designated percentage was for Mr. Guzzi, 25%, for Mr. Pompa, 22% and for Messrs. Cammaker and Matz, 20% each.
For 2013, the Compensation Committee made annual incentive awards to the named executive officers based upon achievement of their respective personal goals and objectives. Messrs. Guzzi and Pompa were awarded approximately 50% and 44% of their respective 2013 base salaries, and Messrs. Cammaker and Matz were each awarded approximately 40% of their respective 2013 base salaries, based upon achievement of their respective personal goals and objectives.
Each year’s incentive awards made to named executive officers on the basis of financial measurements and achievement of their respective personal goals and objectives follows our Chief Executive’s report to the Compensation Committee of our annual financial results and how each named executive officer performed in meeting his personal goals and objectives. The Compensation Committee, with input from the other non-management directors, then determines the amounts to be paid to each named executive officer as his annual incentive awards. The determination of the annual incentive awards are made without any members of management present.
Under the terms of the program, the Compensation Committee could have, in its sole discretion, for 2013, reduced the payment of any named executive officer’s annual incentive award based on financial measurements even though those financial measurements called for payment of the percentages provided for in the Matrix. In the exercise of its discretion the Compensation Committee could have taken into account whatever factors it deemed appropriate in exercising negative discretion. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, also could have awarded in respect of each named officer’s personal goals and objectives a percentage of his 2013 base salary ranging from zero to twice the percentage designated for him.
The 2013 aggregate annual incentive awards made to each named executive officer were less than his respective Maximum Potential Incentive Award and represented the following approximate percentage of his respective 2013 base salary: Mr. Guzzi, 141%; Mr. Pompa, 124%; and Messrs. Cammaker and Matz, each, 113%.
Long Term Incentive Plan
We provide a significant portion of our named executive officers’ compensation through our LTIP. The LTIP provides incentives which foster executive recruitment and retention, reward long-term financial performance, and align management and stockholder interests. Before we adopted the LTIP, Mercer advised the Compensation Committee that the LTIP as proposed should accomplish these objectives with its focus on long-term financial performance, cash and equity awards competitive with those granted by Mercer’s list of Comparator Companies, and use of equity for alignment with stockholder returns.
Each participant in the LTIP, including each named executive officer, is entitled each year to an award based on a multiplier (or percentage), which we refer to as the “Multiplier,” of his annual base salary rate at the end of the previous year. We refer to this award as the “LTIP Target Bonus”.
Specifically, the LTIP Target Bonus consists of:
  • an annual award of a number of stock units to senior executives, including the named executive officers. This is the retention component. This number of stock units (in respect of which an equal number of shares of our Common Stock will be issued) generally vests on the third anniversary of

the grant date of the stock units. The named executive officer is to receive a number of shares of our Common Stock equal in number to his annual grant of stock units approximately three years from the grant date as well as additional shares of our Common Stock equal to the cash dividends if any, that have been paid with respect to our Common Stock underlying the stock units awarded. The named executive officer will receive these shares only if he continues to be employed by us through the third anniversary of the grant date, unless his employment is terminated by us without cause, by him for good reason, or by reason of his death or disability or retirement at age 65 or older in which case he would receive those shares following the occurrence of that event. (We have set forth the definition of the terms “cause”, “good reason” and “disability” on page 34 in the Section entitled “Potential Post Employment Payments”—“Long Term Incentive Plan”.) Thus, a meaningful portion of the named executive officer’s total compensation is tied to our stock performance; and
  • an award of a potential performance-based cash incentive award, which we refer to sometimes as the “LTIP Cash Target Bonus”, and which is the performance component. This component provides for the annual establishment of three year measurement periods. The award year and the two ensuing years make up each measurement period. Each named executive officer may receive a performance-based cash incentive award, depending upon how closely our actual aggregate earnings per share for the three year measurement period compare to a pre-established earnings per share objective for that measurement period. The Compensation Committee sets the earnings per share objectives. When we refer to “earnings per share” with respect to our LTIP, we mean earnings per share on a fully diluted basis. However, earnings per share with respect to three year measurement periods are to be computed without giving effect to (a) non-cash charges directly associated with the write-down of balance sheet values of assets, (b) investment banking, consulting, legal, and accounting fees and related disbursements directly associated with any proposed or consummated (i) sale or disposition of Company assets or securities or (ii) acquisition or investment, (c) the effect of any changes in statutory tax rates from those in effect on March 29, 2010, (d) restructuring charges due to a sale or closure of a subsidiary’s business, (e) the cumulative effect of any change in accounting principles, and (f) with respect to three year measurement periods commencing on or after January 1, 2012, earnings per share are also to be computed without giving effect to charges relating to withdrawal liabilities in connection with multi-employer pension plans and lump sum surcharges assessed by any multi-employer pension plan to ameliorate an underfunding in such plan. We use the three year measurement period to extend a named executive officer’s focus over multiple-year periods. This is intended to help achieve positive sustained long-term financial results and to align the named executive officer’s interests with longer-term stockholder interests. If we achieve 100% of the earnings per share objective that the Compensation Committee has established for a measurement period, the named executive officer will receive 100% of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus. If we achieve 50% of the earnings per share objective for a measurement period, the named executive officer will receive 50% of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus. If we fail to achieve our minimum objectives of at least 50% of the pre-established earnings per share objective for a measurement period, no performance-based cash incentive award is payable in respect of that measurement period. If we achieve 120% or more of the pre-established earnings per share objective for a measurement period, the named executive officer will receive 200% of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus. For earnings per share falling between 50% and 100% of the earnings per share objective for the measurement period or between 100% and 120% of the earnings per share objective, the percentage of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus is interpolated from 50% to 100% of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus and from 100% to 200% of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus, respectively. The named executive officer would not be entitled to any performance-based cash incentive award for any measurement period in which his employment is terminated by us for cause or in which he leaves our employment without good reason. However, if, during a measurement period, his employment is terminated by us without cause, by him for good reason or by reason of his death, disability or retirement at age 65 or older, he would, nevertheless, be entitled to a pro rata amount of the performance-based cash incentive award that he would have received had he been employed by the Company for that measurement period.

Under the terms of the LTIP, we established for each LTIP participant, including each named executive officer, a Multiplier (or percentage) of his annual base salary rate. The Multiplier for each named executive officer, which is set out in the LTIP (subject to change annually by the Compensation Committee for each named executive officer), for 2013 was as follows: Mr. Guzzi, 300% and Messrs. Mr. Cammaker, Mr. Matz, and Pompa, each 125%. Based upon compensation information provided by Mercer regarding awards to senior executives of Comparator Companies, the Compensation Committee concluded that the Multiplier for each named executive officer, when applied to a percentage of his annual base salary rate as of the end of the previous year, resulted in an LTIP Target Bonus for each named executive officer which was competitive with those provided by Comparator Companies.
The Compensation Committee believes this LTIP two-part retention and performance program provides a balance between market-based incentives and multi-year financial-based awards. Market-based incentives, such as equity awards, provide a strong link to stockholder value creation. Financial-based awards based upon multi-year periods provide a direct link to long-term corporate performance.
In addition, the Board believes that because part of each LTIP award is in stock units generally vesting three years from the grant date and the balance is payable in cash based on the Company’s financial performance over a three year period, which amount is capped based on a percentage of annual base salary rate, the LTIP does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking by participants in the LTIP, including our named executive officers.
Under the terms of the LTIP, in 2011 the Compensation Committee established a measurement period consisting of calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013 pursuant to which performance-based cash incentive awards may be paid to LTIP participants, including our named executive officers. The actual amount paid in respect of each participant’s LTIP Cash Target Bonus for this measurement period, 50% of the product of his Multiplier and his annual base salary rate as of December 31, 2010, was dependent upon how our Company’s earnings per share for that period measured up against the earnings per share objective for the period, which was $6.00 per share. Because our aggregate earnings per share for the 2011 – 2013 measurement period was $6.25, 104% of the $6.00 earnings per share objective for that measurement period, in accordance with the LTIP, each named executive officer, as well as each other participant in the LTIP, was paid in March 2014 120% of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus. The amount of the LTIP cash payment to each named executive officer is included under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column for 2013 of the Summary Compensation Table on page 23.
On January 2, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the LTIP, each named executive officer, as well as each other participant in the LTIP, was awarded a number of stock units entitling him to receive in February 2016 an equal number of shares of our Common Stock provided he is continuously employed by us through January 2, 2016. However, if his employment is terminated by us without cause, by him for good reason, or by reason of his death, disability or retirement at age 65 or older, he will, nevertheless, be entitled to those shares. The number of stock units awarded to each named executive officer was determined by dividing 50% of the product of the named executive officer’s then Multiplier set out above in the first paragraph of this page 19 and his annual base salary rate as of December 31, 2012 by the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on January 2, 2013. The aggregate grant date fair value of the stock units awarded in 2013 to each named executive officer based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 is included under the “Stock Awards” column for 2013 of the Summary Compensation Table on page 23 and under the “Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards column of the Table entitled Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2013 on page 26.
In March 2013, under the LTIP, the Compensation Committee also established for the measurement period consisting of the 2013 – 2015 calendar years an earnings per share objective of $6.45. Each named executive officer’s LTIP Cash Target Bonus for that measurement period is 50% of the product of his annual base salary rate as of the end of 2012 and his then Multiplier set out in the first paragraph on this page 19. The amounts set out in the Table entitled Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2013 on page 26 identified with footnote (4) indicates the range of LTIP performance-based cash incentive awards each named executive officer may receive in respect of the 2013 – 2015 measurement period if we achieve for that measurement period (i) the minimum earnings per share objective of $3.23, (ii) the earnings per

share objective of $6.45, or (iii) at least 120% of the earnings per share objective, or $7.74. As indicated earlier, if we do not achieve the minimum earnings per share objective for the 2013 – 2015 measurement period, we will not pay any of the LTIP performance-based cash incentive awards identified in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2013 Table.
Percentage of Incentive Compensation
We believe our annual and LTIP incentive awards motivate our named executive officers to seek sustained positive financial performance. A significant portion of the named executive officers’ compensation is incentive compensation based on objective financial performance. The equity awards expose management to the risk that our stock value will go down and are conditioned on the named executive officer staying employed with us for a significant period of time.
For 2013, the percentages of targeted incentive compensation to total targeted compensation (including stock units) of the named executive officers ranged from approximately 46% to 52%, and the equity component percentage of the named executive officers’ total targeted compensation (including stock units) ranged from approximately 18% to 28%. Of their 2013 total targeted compensation (including stock units), the percentages that were forfeitable ranged from approximately 35% to 56%.
Corporate Tax Deduction on Compensation in Excess of $1 Million a Year
Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code”, generally limits how much compensation public companies may deduct on their U.S. federal income tax returns for compensation paid to certain executive officers. Public companies generally may deduct up to $1 million of compensation they pay to any employee who on the last day of the year is a named executive officer. Compensation may qualify for an exemption from the deduction limit if it satisfies certain conditions under Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee considers the impact of this rule when developing and implementing our executive compensation plans. While we have designed much of our annual incentive awards and the LTIP performance-based cash incentive awards to qualify for an exemption from the limitation on deductible compensation, not all the annual incentive awards and LTIP awards qualify under Section 162(m). To the extent a named executive officer’s annual incentive award is paid based on achievement of his personal goals and objectives (and a portion was so paid for 2013), the award would not, and did not, qualify under Section 162(m). Awards of stock units under the LTIP, which vest over the passage of time, do not qualify under Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee does not require that all compensation qualify under Section 162(m) because it believes that it is important to preserve flexibility in administering compensation programs.
Accounting Treatment
When designing the elements of compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the impact of accounting treatment and avoids structuring awards that would require that they be marked to market at the end of each accounting period as those types of awards could result in additional expense to the Company or additional net income to the Company dependent upon their periodic change in value.
Retirement Plans, Severance Arrangements, and Stock Options
Retirement Plans
Until 2013 we provided our retirement benefits solely through our 401(k) plan pursuant to which we made a matching contribution of $12,750 for the account of each named executive officer for 2013. We based the amount of our contribution for named executive officers on a formula set forth in the terms of the plan that applies to all employees participating in our 401(k) plan.
Effective with calendar year 2013, we adopted the Voluntary Deferral Plan, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan offered to a select group of employees with annual salaries of at least $175,000, including our named executive officers. Under the Voluntary Deferral Plan an eligible employee may make elective deferrals and receive a Company base matching credit of up to four percent (4%) on deferrals, but not in excess of four percent (4%) of base salary in excess of an annual Internal Revenue Code limit

($255,000 for 2013), plus possible Company supplemental credits. The Voluntary Deferral Plan provides both a deferral opportunity and employer credits in excess of the deferrals and contributions available under our 401(k) Plan. Benefits under the Voluntary Deferral Plan are intended to be unfunded for tax purposes. Although the Company has created a trust to help it meet its obligations to pay Voluntary Deferral Plan benefits, assets of the trust are subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy. Participant accounts reflecting deferrals and Company matching credits under the Voluntary Deferral Plan are periodically adjusted to reflect the investment experience of certain funds in which the accounts are notionally invested are fully vested at all times, and are distributable following separation from service or a change of control. See the Table under “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation on page 30 for information regarding deferrals and Company credits made in respect of 2013.
Severance Arrangements
In light of our modest retirement benefits and the existence of employment agreements for several years with our named executive officers other than Mr. Guzzi (who did not join us until October 2004), which employment agreements we decided not to renew when they expired December 31, 2004, the Compensation Committee decided to enter into severance agreements with our named executive officers in 2005. The terms of the severance agreements reflected market practice and advice provided to the Compensation Committee by Mercer and outside counsel engaged by the Compensation Committee and take into account the named executive officers’ past accomplishments. If a named executive is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason, his severance agreement provides him with a severance benefit equal to (a) two years of his annual base salary and (b) a prorated amount of his annual incentive awards. The severance agreements and other enhanced severance benefits referred to in this Section as well as the terms “cause” and “good reason” are described commencing on page 31 under “Potential Post Employment Payments”—“Severance Agreements”.
In addition, if the named executive officer is terminated without “cause”, he terminates his employment for “good reason” or his employment is terminated by reason of his disability, as those terms are defined on page 34 under “Potential Post Employment Payments”—“Long Term Incentive Plan”, or if he dies or retires at age 65 or older we will under the LTIP provide him with:
  • all the shares issuable in respect of his LTIP stock units no later than six months after the named executive officer’s termination date; and
  • with respect to each measurement period then in effect, a prorated amount of the LTIP performance-based cash incentive award that he would have received had he remained in our employ during the entire measurement period.
Change of Control Agreements
Each of our named executive officers is a party to a change of control agreement so that if we experience a change of control we can provide security to them during the period of change of control in order that they can focus on our business, making decisions which are in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, even if such decisions lead to their departure and in order that we may retain these individuals during that period and the transition to new ownership.
These change of control agreements provide for enhanced severance benefits if, within two years of the date we experience a change of control, the executive terminates his employment for good reason or the executive’s employment is terminated involuntarily, other than for cause, death or disability. The enhanced severance benefits payable in the event of severance after a change of control are described under “Potential Post Employment Payments”—“Change of Control Arrangements” commencing on page 37. If severance benefits are paid to a named executive officer under a change of control agreement, no payments are to be made to him under his severance agreement. The terms and provisions of the change of control agreements reflected competitive market practices and advice provided by outside counsel to the Company and were not derived primarily from a negotiation process with our executives. The term “change of control” as used in the change of control agreements is defined commencing on page 37.

Excise Tax Gross-Ups
The severance payments and other payments and benefits our named executive officers would receive in connection with a change of control could trigger an excise tax, payable by our named executive officers. In that case, under the terms of the change of control agreements we are to make gross-up payments to those named executive officers so that they receive the same economic benefit they would have received if the excise tax were not imposed. These gross-up payments would be provided even though we cannot deduct them from our own taxable income, because we believe our named executive officers should receive the full economic benefit of the protections we have offered them.
Stock Options
The sole stock option grant held by each of Messrs. Cammaker, Matz and Pompa provides that such options are exercisable for the shorter of two years from the termination date of the named executive’s employment with the Company or the remainder of the option term if the named executive officer is terminated by us without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason. If a named executive officers’s employment is terminated by us for cause or if he terminates his employment without good reason, then his options would be exercisable for the shorter of three months from the termination date or the remainder of the option term. The terms “cause” and “good reason,” as defined in the stock option agreements, are substantially the same as they are defined in the severance agreements described commencing on page 31 under “Potential Post Employment Payments”—“Severance Agreements”. All stock options granted to our named executive officers are presently vested. Mr. Guzzi has no stock options.

  • Stock awards reflected in this Table represent for 2011, 2012, and 2013 aggregate grant date fair value for stock units computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 718. There can be no assurance that these amounts will be realized. These stock awards consist of, for 2011, 2012 and 2013, time-based stock units granted under our Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), for 2011 in the case of Mr. Guzzi, 80,000 additional time-based stock units awarded to him in May 2011, and for 2012 in the case of Mr. Guzzi, 13,006 additional time-based stock units awarded to him in March 2012, and in the case of Messrs. Pompa, Cammaker and Matz, for 2012, 12,000 additional time-based stock units awarded to each of them in March 2012. The value of the respective stock awards are equivalent to the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the award multiplied by the number of stock units included in the award.
(2)
  • No option awards were made to the named executive officers in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
(3)
  • The amounts reported in this column for 2013 include annual incentive awards paid in 2014 in respect of 2013, all of which were paid in cash. These annual incentive awards for each of the named executive officers are as follows: Mr. Guzzi, $1,381,800; Mr. Pompa, $756,888; Mr. Cammaker, $580,920; and Mr. Matz, $547,080. The amounts reported in this column for 2013 also include amounts paid in 2014 under the LTIP in respect of LTIP Cash Target Bonuses for the 2011 – 2013 measurement period. These LTIP amounts for each of the executive officers are as follows: Mr. Guzzi, $1,140,000; Mr. Pompa, $382,500; Mr. Cammaker, $367,500; and Mr. Matz, $318,750.

  • The amounts reported in this column for 2013 for each named executive officer include: (a) an allowance for his leasing of an automobile; reimbursement for auto insurance on such vehicle; reimbursement for the cost of maintenance and repair of such vehicle; reimbursement for monthly dues in a club suitable for entertaining clients and other business contacts; the value of tickets to certain sporting events, (b) the value of additional time-based stock units equal in value to cash dividends paid in 2011, 2012 and 2013 on shares of our Common Stock pursuant to dividend equivalent awards with respect to stock units awarded prior to 2012 inasmuch as the value of stock units awarded in 2011 included in the Summary Compensation Table did not reflect the value of cash dividends as we only commenced the payment of cash dividends in the last quarter of 2011, and (c) premiums paid for excess liability insurance of $10 million. The amounts in this column also include the cost of premiums paid by us for term life insurance for each named executive officer as follows: Mr. Guzzi, $14,110; Mr. Pompa, $2,559; Mr. Cammaker, $20,421; and Mr. Matz, $11,324. In addition, the amounts reported in this column include reimbursement for taxes on certain of the foregoing perquisites for each of the named executive officers as follows: Mr. Guzzi, $27,109; Mr. Pompa, $17,403; Mr. Cammaker, $50,591; and Mr. Matz, $33,782. For 2013, the amounts also include matching contributions of $12,750 provided by us under our 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for the account of each named executive officer and matching credits provided by us under our Voluntary Deferral Plan for each named executive officer as follows: Mr. Guzzi, $36,250; Mr. Pompa, $17,750; Mr. Cammaker, $13,000; and Mr. Matz, $11,500. No amounts are included in this column for earnings on deferred compensation because the named executive officers did not receive above-market or preferential earnings on compensation that is deferred.

Proportion of 2013 Salaries and Bonuses to Total 2013 Compensation
The approximate percentage of each named executive officer’s 2013 salary of his total 2013 compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 23 is as follows: Mr. Guzzi, 19%; Mr. Pompa, 28%; Mr. Cammaker, 27%; and Mr. Matz, 28%. There were no bonuses awarded in 2013. There can be no assurance that the total compensation amounts reported in that Table will be realized.
Annual Incentive Awards
Under our Annual Incentive Program the Compensation Committee establishes annual financial objectives for us and individual performance goals and objectives for each named executive officer. These objectives are the basis on which a determination is made whether the named executive officer should receive annual incentive awards and, if so, the amount of such award. The annual incentive awards for 2013 and the basis on which they were made are discussed on pages 15 through 17 under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”. For 2013, the maximum annual incentive awards for Messrs. Guzzi and Pompa were 250% and 220%, respectively, of their respective 2013 annual base salaries and for Messrs. Cammaker and Matz were 200% of their respective 2013 annual base salaries. For 2013, the annual incentive award for each named executive officer based on our 2013 financial performance was equal to an approximate percentage of his annual base salary as follows: Mr. Guzzi, 91%; Mr. Pompa, 80%; Mr. Cammaker, 73%; and Mr. Matz, 73%. In addition, each such officer received, based on the accomplishment of his 2013 individual goals and objectives, the following percentages of his annual base salary: Mr. Guzzi, 50%; Mr. Pompa, 44%; Mr. Cammaker, 40%; and Mr. Matz, 40%. The estimated payouts under the 2013 Annual Incentive Program are included under the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” column of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2013 Table on page 26 and have footnote (3) next to them. The actual 2013 incentive awards, all of which were in cash, are included in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 23.
Long Term Incentive Plan
Under the terms of the LTIP, for 2013, we awarded each named executive officer a number of stock units in January 2013. These stock units, which generally vest in full three years from their respective award dates, represent the right to receive an equal number of shares of Common Stock, generally on or about the fourth week in February 2016.
A named executive officer has to be employed by us generally until January 2, 2016 to receive shares of our Common Stock in respect of his 2013 LTIP stock unit award. If a named executive officer’s employment terminates before January 2, 2016, he will forfeit his 2013 LTIP stock unit award, unless such termination is by the Company without cause or by him for good reason or due to his disability, death or retirement at age 65 or older. The terms “cause”, “good reason” and “disability” are defined on page 34 under “Potential Post Employment Payments”—“Long Term Incentive Plan”.
As provided in the LTIP, in January of each year we base the number of stock units that a named executive officer is to receive for that calendar year on one-half of a set percentage of his annual base salary rate as of the immediately preceding December 31, divided by the closing price of a share of our Common Stock as of the first business day of the year in which we award the stock units. The current percentage for each named executive officer is provided for in the LTIP (subject to change by the Compensation Committee) and is set out in the first paragraph on page 19 under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.
The 2013 stock award values reflected in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 23 relate to those stock units awarded in January 2013 under the LTIP to each named executive officer. There can be no assurance that the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column of that Table for 2013 will be realized. The stock awards reflected in the “All Other Stock Awards” column of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2013 Table on page 26 represent the number of stock units awarded to each named executive officer in January 2013 under the LTIP.
We also grant potential performance-based cash incentive awards under the LTIP based on our performance for a three calendar year measurement period commencing with the award year. In 2011, we granted each named executive officer a potential performance-based cash incentive award, or LTIP Cash

Target Bonus, based on our performance for a measurement period consisting of calendar years 2011 – 2013. We reached 104% of our targeted financial performance for that measurement period, and, accordingly, each named executive officer was paid an amount equal to 120% of his LTIP Cash Target Bonus for the measurement period. The amounts paid in respect of these performance-based cash incentive awards are included for 2013 in the Summary Compensation Table under the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” column on page 23.
In addition, in 2013, we granted each named executive officer an LTIP Cash Target Bonus based upon the measurement period consisting of calendar years 2013 – 2015, which is reflected in the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” column of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2013 Table on page 26. We will base the payment of these awards (next to which the footnote (4) appears) on the achievement of the predetermined earnings per share objective for the measurement period consisting of calendar years 2013 – 2015. We will pay to each such named executive officer the target performance-based cash incentive award set opposite his respective name in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2013 Table below if we achieve aggregate earnings per share of $6.45 for the 2013 – 2015 measurement period. If, for this period, we achieve aggregate earnings per share of $3.23, each such named executive officer will be entitled to the threshold performance-based cash incentive award amount set opposite his name in that Table, but if we do not achieve aggregate earnings per share of at least $3.23, no such cash incentive award will be payable. If, for this period, we achieve aggregate earnings per share of $7.74 or more, each such named executive officer will be entitled to the maximum performance-based cash incentive award amount set opposite his name in that Table. For aggregate earnings per share falling between $3.24 and $6.44, and between $6.46 and $7.73, for the 2013 – 2015 measurement period, the performance-based cash incentive award is interpolated from 50.1% to 99.9% of the target performance-based cash incentive award and from 101% to 199% of the target performance-based cash incentive award, respectively.
If a named executive officer is not employed during an entire measurement period, he will not be entitled to any performance-based cash incentive award for the measurement period, unless he has been terminated without cause, he terminates his employment for good reason, dies, is disabled or retires at age 65 or older. If during a measurement period he is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason, dies, is disabled or retires at age 65 or older, then for the measurement period, he will be entitled to a portion of the awards under the LTIP as described under “Potential Post Employment Payments”—“Long Term Incentive Plan” commencing on page 33, where the terms “cause”, “good reason” and “disability” are also defined.
Voluntary Deferral Plan
Each of our executive officers deferred amounts under the Voluntary Deferral Plan for 2013 and received Company base matching credits plus a Company supplemental credit equal to 25% of the base matching credit. All Company matching credits are included for 2013 in the Summary Compensation Table under the “All Other Compensation” column on page 23. See “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” on page 30 for additional information about the Voluntary Deferral Plan.

The following Table sets forth certain information with respect to the grant of awards during the 2013 fiscal year to the named executive officers.
