2 Value-Based Management: Lecture 1 2

3 Question 6: Management compensation and bonus banks A company hires a new divisional manager as the head of one of its three business units. The compensation of the manager consists of an annual fixed salary of 90,000 Euro, an EVA-based annual bonus and yearly stock option grants. The bonus tied to the manager s business unit s EVA performance is supposed to be paid out in three equal tranches over 3 years. Thus, one third of the bonus earned is paid out in the same year, the rest is to be paid out in the next year and the year thereafter, including an interest on it (using the company s WACC of 10 %) to be consistent with the net present value rule. Assume the target bonus equals 100 % of base salary: If the manager achieves exactly the target EVA performance, he will earn a bonus of 90,000 Euro. Otherwise, the bonus is calculated proportional to the percentage of target achievement. Furthermore, assume a constant annual target EVA performance. To avoid retention problems and because negative payouts cannot be implemented in reality, a possibly negative bonus is not paid out immediately. Instead it is considered as interest-bearing and compensated with future bonus payments. The value of the bonus bank can be negative. Year EVA target achievement 75% - 100% 125% - 50% 100% Value-Based Management: Lecture 1 3

7 Management compensation aims at balancing four sometimes conflicting fundamental objectives Alignment Choosing the right performance measures in order to align manager s and shareholders interests Retention Management compensation Wealth leverage Giving management sufficient incentives to work hard and to take the necessary risks in order to maximize shareholder value Shareholder cost Giving good managers sufficient total compensation to retain them even during periods of poor performance caused by market or industry factors Limiting the cost of management compensation to levels sufficient to maximize the wealth of current shareholders Handout Problem Set 3: Bonus Banks 7
