CEO compensation      7-Nov-09 09:30 pm    
<<On March 25, 2008, the Compensation Committee of A. H. Belo Corporation ratified the recommendation of its Board of Directors to change the compensation structure of its chairman, president, and Chief Executive Officer, Robert W. Decherd. Effective as of February 8, 2008, Mr. Decherd’s base salary will be changed from $800,000 to $250,000. Mr. Decherd’s new compensation package will be cash-based and performance-oriented, with an annual target bonus opportunity based on the following measures of A. H. Belo financial performance: revenue; interactive revenue; expenses; and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. If all target levels are achieved, Mr. Decherd will receive a cash bonus of four times his annual base salary. If maximum performance levels are achieved, Mr. Decherd will receive a cash bonus of seven times his annual base salary. The minimum threshold for any cash incentive payment will be at 85 percent of the revenue target and 60 percent of target with respect to each of the other three measures of financial performance. Mr. Decherd’s actual bonus, if any, will be determined by extrapolating between the minimum and target, or between target and maximum, based on actual levels of performance. Mr. Decherd will not receive any additional long-term incentive compensation with respect to 2008 compensation. Each year, the Compensation Committee will determine target and maximum multiples, the performance measures, and the weighting to be given to each performance measure.>>SEC 8-K

I think the emphasis is about right and improvement on any would be good for the company. However, if EBITDA doesn't improve, all else is in vain.
