[ Recent Accounting Standards
In April 2014, tbe accounting standaid update related to the reporting ol discontinued operations and disclosures ut disposals ol components of an enlily was issued This standaid update changes the cnteria I'd reportm c discontinued operations and enhances coni crgi-nce of the reporting requirements for disconfmued ripenrlnini As a revulr of ifirs si.indanl update a disposal of a component of an entity oi a group of component* of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if ihc disposal represents a strategic ilufi thai has, or will have a major cited on an entity's oper.it urns and financial results This standard update is effect it e as ofthe first quarter of 201    however, earlier adoption is permitted
In May 2014. the accounting standard update related to ihc recognition ol revenue horn contracts with tusiomcr* was issued This standard update clarifies tbe pnnciplcs for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for US generally accepted accounting pnnciplcs (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards The standard update intends to provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of rev enue recognition practices across entities, induslncs, junsdicuons. and capital markets, and provide more useful information in users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements Upon adoption oflhis standard update, wc expect thai the allocation and liming nf revenue recognition will be impacted We expect to adopt this standard update dunng Ihe first quarter of 2.01 7
There arc two adoption methods available for implementation of the standard update related to the recognition ol revenue from contracts with customers Under one method, the guidance is applied retrospectively to contracts for each reporting period presented, subject to allowable practical expedients Under the other method, the guidance is applied to contracts not completed as ofthe date of initial application, recognizing the cumulative effect of (he change as an adjustment lo (he beginning balance of retained earnings, and also requires additional disclosures coinpanng the results lo the previous guidance We are currently evaluating these adoption methods and the impact that this standard update will have on our condensed consolidated financial statement i
In June 2014. the accounting standard update related lo lhe accounting for share-based payments when Ihe terms of an award provide thai a performance target could be achieved after the requisite scrv ice penod was issued The standard update resolves the diverse accounting treatment for the*e share-based payments by requinng that a performance target that aftecls vesnng and that could be achieved after the requisite service penod be treated as a performance condition The requisite service penod ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if lhe performance target is achieved. We will adopt this standard update dunng the first quarter of 2016 Ilie adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a

Our domestic operations arc .subject 10 regulation by the FCC and other federal, state and local agencies and our international operations arc regulated hy vanous loieign governments and iniemaiion.il bodies These regulatory regimes frequently restrict or impose conditions on our ability lo operate tn designated areas and to provide specified products 01 services Wc arc frequently icqunrd lo maintain licenses fur our operations and conduit our operations in accordance with prescribed sland.uds Wc are often involved in regulatory and olher governmental proceedings iclatcd to lhe application of these ici|uicements I; is impossible to predict with any reitjinty the outcome of pending federal and slate regulatory proceedings relating to our operations. 01 the reviews by federal 01 stale eouit.s of regulatory lulings Without relief existing laws and icgulations ma) inhibit oui ability to expand our business and introduce new products and seiviccs Similarly, we cannot guarantee thai we will be successful 111 obtaining lhe licenses needed to cany oui our business plan or in maintaining our existing licenses For example, ihc I:CC grants wireless licenses for teims generally lasting 10 years, suhiect lo renewal 1 he loss of. or a material limitation on. certain m out licenses could have a matenal adveise e fleet on our business, t exults of operations jnd financial condition
New laws or regulations or changes to ihe existing regulatory framewnik at ihc federal, stale and local, or intcinnt 10n.1l lev el could iiMikI lhe ways 01 which we manage our wneline and wireless networks nnpo.se additional c.isic. impan revenue opportunities and potentially impede our abihly 10 prov ide seiviees in a manuei that would be attractive to us and oui customers For example, certain services could he subject to conflicting regulation by the FCC and/01 vanous stale and local authorities, which could significantly increase the cost of implementing and introducing new sctviccs As another example we hold certain wireless licenses thai tcqune us to comply with so-called open access' FCC regulations, which generally require licensees ol particular speclrum to allow customers 10 use devices and applications oi then choice In addition, our hioadband Internet acecs.s services .ire subjccl to various attempts to impose so-e.illed "network neutrality' rules some of which were all'inned and othets 1 aeaied on appeal in early 2014 Proponents of these rules wanl to limit lhe ways thai a broadband Internet access service* provider can structure business aiiangemenls and manage Ms network The furthci icgulaiion of broadband wirele'ss. and our other activities and any related eonrt decisions could restncl our ability lo compete m the marketplace and liunl the return we can opcc.t tn uchic ve on past and future investments in our networks
 
Cyber eMails 01 othei breaches of network or information letltunlogy security could have an advrrse effect on our hu*tne\\ Cyber attacks or other breaches of network or infonnation technology (IT) security may cause equipment failures or disruptions lo our operations Our inability to operate our wireline or uucJcss networks as a result of such events even foi a limited penod ot tune, may result in significant expenses and/oi loss of maikct share lo other communications providers In addition, ihe potential liabilities associated wnh these events could exceed the insurance coverage vie maintain Cyhei attacks, which include the usr of nialw-jie, computer viruses and olher means for disitipnon or unauthon/ed access, on companies, including Ven/on have increased in frequency, scope and potential harm in recent years While lu date wc have not been subjccl to cyber attacks or other cyber incidents which, individually or in the aggregate, have been matenal to our operations 01 financial condition, the preventive actions we lake to reduce the risk of cyber incidents and protect our information technology and networks may be insufficient to repel a major cyber attack in the future The cosls associated with a major cyber attack on Venzon could include expensive incentives offered to existing customers and business partners in retain their business, increased expenditures on cyber secuiiiy measures, losl revenues from business inteiTupiinn and litigation Further certain of Venzon\ businesses. including lhe provisioning of secunty solutions and infrastructure jnd cloud services to business customers, could be negatively all'ceied if our ability to protect our own networks is called into question as a result of a cyber attack In addition, if we fail lo prevent ihclheft of valuable information such as financial data, sensitive information about Venzon and intellectual property, or if we lail to proiect the pnvacy ofcustomer and employee confidential data against breaches of network or TT secunty, 11 could result in damage to our reputation, which could advetsely impact customer and investor confidence Any of these occurrences could result in a matenal udv eric efTeei on our results of operations and financial condition
Natural disasters, temrisl acts or acts of %-ar could <:«irtr damage to our infrastructure and result in significant disruptions im our operations.
Our business operations axe subject to interruption by natural disasters, power outages, terrorist attacks, other hostile aits and events beyond our control Such events could cause .significant damage tn our intra structure upon which our business operations rely, resulting in degradation or disruption of service to our customers While we maintain insurance coverage for some of these evenls the potential liabilities associated with these events could exceed the insurance coverage wc maintain Our sysiem redundancy may be ineffective or inadequate, and our disaster recovery planning may nol be sufficient foi all eventualities These events could also damage the infrastructure nf the suppliers that provide us with the equipment and services we need to operate
 
our business and provide products lo our customers A natural disaster or other cvcnl causing significant physical damage could cause us to expenence substantial losses resulting id significant recovery lime and expenditures to resume operations. In addition, these occurrences could result in lost revenues from business interruption as well as damage tn our reputation
Orr;#B*s debt Mas increased significantly and couldincrease, further if'Venzon incurs additional deJit in the future and does not retire existing debt.
As of December 31, 2013, Venzon had approximately $°3 6 billion of outstanding indebtedness, as well as approximately $6 I billion of unused bono wing capacity nndri its existing credit facility Since ihal dale, Vcn/on bas incurred $20 3 billion of additional indebtedness and became entitled lo draw upon an additional 12 billion of borrowing capacity under a 16-1-dsv

The Fi.tl regulates several a-pecK ol Ven/on Wireless' operations Generally, the FCC has jurisdiction over lhe construction, operation acquisition, and transfer ol wireless comniunic all oils systems And all wireless sen ices require use of radio frequency spectrum the assignment and distribution of which is subject lo FCC oversight Venzon Wireless anticipates that it will need additional sped mm in meet future demand li can tiicei spee tnun needs by purchasing licenses or leasing speclrum from others, or hy participating in a competitive bidding pine ess for new spectrum fiom lhe FCC Uolb piocesses aie subjccl lo certain reviews, approe .lis. and pote niial conditions

The FCC regulates some ol the rales ihal earners pay each other lor the exchange voice natlic (particularly traditional wireline traffic) over different networks and other aspects of interconnection for some voice sen ices In many instances. Venzon makes payments lo other prov iders and in tuni \ enron receiv es some payments from other earners In 2011, the FCC issued a broad reform order changing, among other things the framework fur many of the per-minutc rates that earners charge each other for the exchange, of voice iraflic The new rules gradually reduce many of these rales io zero This order is subject io pending re'eousnJciation petitions and appeals Tire FCC ufso regulates some eif the rates and ten ni nficl conditions tu certain wireline 'special access and oilier sen ices and network facilities Verizon is both a seller and a buyct of these sen1 ices For example, on the w ire!ine side Venzon sells wholesale cucuils to other v nice and data sen ice providers On the w ireless side. Verizon purchases special access and other services lo transport traffic to and from cell towers In addition, as required by the Acl. Venzon unbundles certain wireline network elements and makes these facilities and services available to other network providers.
Unixcnal Service
The Communications Act charges the FCC with cnjuiing that certain groups and areas have access to communications sen ices, including rural and othet high-cost areas, low income subsenbers, schools and libranes. rural health-care organizations, and deaf and hard-of-h can rig individuals The FCC established different subsidy and discount programs to achieve these goals To pay for these programs, the FCC requires contributions from providers such as Venzon based on reported revenues for certain services Venzon also receiv es some payments from some of these programs but is a net payer into them

State public utility commissinns regulate Venzon'i telephone- operations with respect to certain idecommuntcations intrastate matters Venzon operates as an "incumbent local exchange carrier" in 14 states These incumbent operations arc subject to vanous levels ot pricing flexibility and other state oversight and requirements Venzon also has other wireline operations that arc more lightly regulated In addition, as a video sen'ices operator in many states. Venzon has been required to ohiain a cable franchise from local government entities, or in some cases a srale-witlc franchise, and in comply with certain one-time and ongoing obligations as a resull
H ueleis Ser\ict.t
The Communications Acl generally preempts regulation by state and local governments of the entry of, or the rates charged hy, wireless camera The Act does not prohibit states from regulating tbe other "terms and conditions" of wireless service. For example, some stales attempt to regulate wireless customer billing matters and impose reporting requirements. Several Stales also have laws or regulations thai address safety issues (c g , use of wireless handsels while driving) and taxation matters. In add M ion, w i re less lower and antenna facilities arc often subject lo stale and local zoning and land use regulation, and sccunng approvals for new oi modi lied facilities is often a lenglhy and expensive process

Plant and Depreciation
Wc ivcord plain, piopcity and equipment ai cost Piani, property and equipment of wireline and wueless operations are gencially depreciated on a straight-I inc basts
Leasehold impiovements ate amortized over the shoitei of the estimated life of the improvement or the remaining tenn of the related lease, calculated from the tunc the asset was placed in sen ice
When the depreciable assets of our wncline and wireless opeiatioiis arc retired oi otherwise disposed ol the related cost and accumulated depreciation arc deducted from the plant accounts and any gains oi losses on disposition aie reiOgni/cd in income
We capitalize and depreciate nciwork softwaic purchased or developed along with iclated plant asscis Wc also capitalize inteiest associated with the acquisition oi construction of netwuik-rel.ucd assets Cap it a lived interest is reported as a reduction in interest expense and depreciated as pan uf the cost ol the network -related assets

Computer Software- Costs
We capitalize ihc cosi of intcmjl-u.se net work and non-network software that has a useful lite tti excess of one year Subsequent additions modifications or upgrades to internal-use network and non-network software arc capitalized only lo lire extent thai they allow the so fi ware to perform a task it prcv nius]y did not ;>rif;>rin Planning software maintenance and tiaiiiuig costs are expensed in the penod in which they are inclined Also, we r.ipiiiiii/e interest associated with the development ol inleni.il-iise netw-oik and lion-netwoik software Capitalized nun-network intenial-use software costs are amortized using the straight-line method ovei a penod of 3 to 7 years and lie included in Othei intangible assets net in out consolidated balance sheets f oi a discussion of our impairment policy for capitalized software costs, sec 'Goodwill and Other Intangible Asscis" below Also, see S'otc 3 for additional detail ol internal-use non-network soil ware reflected in our consolidated balance sheets
Cnndwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value ofthe identifiable net asscis acquired Impairment testing foi goodwill is performed annually in the fourth fiscal quarter oi mure frequently if irnpjinnent indicators are present The Company has the option io perform a qualitative assessment to detennme it ihe tan value of Ihe entity is less than its carrying value However, lhe Cumpany may elect to perform an impairment test even if no indications nl a potential impairment exist The impairment test lor goodwill use> a uvo-stcp apptoach. which is performed at the reporting unit level Wc have determined thai in our case, lhe reporting units are our opetatmg segments since that is the lowest level at which discrete, reliable financial and cash flow information is available Step one compares the fair value ofthe reporting unit (calculated using a maiket approach and/oi a discounted cash flow method) to its carrying value If the carrying x alue exceeds ihc fair value there is a potential impairment and slep two must be performed Step two compares the carrying value ofthe reporting unit's goodwill to its implied fair value (i e . fair value of reporting unit less the fair value ofthe unit's assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets) If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amounl of goodwill, an impairment is recognized
 
Intangible Assets Nol Subject io Amortization
A significant portion of our intangible assets are wireless licenses that provide our wireless operations with the exclusive nght to utilize designated radio frequency spectrum to provide wireless communication services While licenses are issued for only a fixed time, generally ten yean, such licenses are subject to renewal by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) License renewals have occurred routinely and ai nominal cost Moreover, we have determined that there arc cunently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limn the useful life of our wireless licenses As a result, wc treat the wireless licenses as »d indefinite-lived intangible asset We reevaluate the useful life deienninaiion foi wireless licenses each year to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life

Dunng the first quarter of 2013, we adopted the accounting standard update regarding reclassifications out of Accumulated other comprehensive income This standard update requires companies to report the effect of significant reclassification! out of Accumulated other comprehensive income on lhe respective line ilems in our consolidated statements of income if the amounl being reclassified is required to be reclassified in us entirely to net income For other amounts that arc not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting penod. an entity is required to cross-reference io olher required disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts See Noic 14 for additional details

Recent Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the accounting standard update relating io the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar lax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists was issued The standard update provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit should be offset against same jiinsdiction deferred lux assets for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar ux loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.

When reviewing the compensation program and the performance metnes used undo.' the program the Committee consrdeis the impact o! the compensation program on the Company's nsk prctile lhe Committee believes that Venzon's compensation program has been structured to provide strong incentives for executives to appropnatefy balance risk and reward consistent with the Company s enterpnse business nsk management efforts

Role ot Benchmarking and Peer Group Selection
The Commiltec bcl eves thai it rr. appropnate to use the same peei group to tic-nchmanX occi.livo pay r.ppor; unities r? to evaluate Verizon s relative stock performance ■under its lung-:.erm incentive plan Fo- tn:s
purpose, the Committee uses a single peer group that includes the 29 companies (other than Verizon) in the Dow Jones Industnol Average, plus Venzon's four largest industry competitors that are not included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average This group is referred to as the Related Dow Peers. The Committee believes that this group of companies, compnsed of similarty-eized companies based on market capitalization, net income, revenue and lotal employees that arc included in an estabSshed and recognizable index, as well as Verizon's four other largest industry competitors, is appropnate for the dual purpose of benchmarking executive pay opportunities and evaluating relative stock performance under the long-term incenlive plan because the companies in the Related Dow Peers represent Venzon's primary competitors for executive talent and investor dollars Moreover, this peer group is self-adjusting so that changes in the companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average are also reflected in the Related Dow Peers over time For this reason, the Committee believes that the Rclalcd Dow Peers provides a consistent measure ol Venzon's performance and makes it easier for shareholder; to evaluate, monilor and understand Ven.TOn's compensation program
To delcnine whether the compensation opportunities for executives are appropnate and competitive ihe Committee comoares eac»i named executive ctlicers lotal ix.mpensation opportunity -whicn represents lhe aggiegale total amount of the executive s base salary and targe! award amounis under the short-lenn and long-term incentive plans - to the lotal compensation opportuat.es (or executives m comparable positions at peer companies The Committee generally refcences ihe 50 ,h [ erceriMe of inc Related Dow Peers for total compensation opportunity, all.nougn the total compensation cpportjnuy may i;u above or below tho 50 <'■ percentile depending upon Ihe tenure and overall level of responsibility nf a particular e»ccutivo The Committee believes thai tnis is an appropnate targeted level o' tola; compensation, opportunity because of Venzon's emphasis on pcrlomiancc-basco incentive pay and Venzon s sizc relative to the Related Dow Peer; Actual total compensation may fall above or below the targeted percentile based cn annual and long-temi performance results

Compensation Objectives and Elements of Compensation Compensation Objectives
Ven/on"s compensalion program is designed to
anagemem and shareholders, the Cornmilieti
Align executives' and shareholders' interests lluough the use of performance-based compensation and Attract retain and motivate high-performing executives
To promote a performance-based culture trial further links the interests of r has developed a compensation progiam that
focuses extensive!/ or vanable. performance -based compensation, wilh fi*ed compensation in lhe form of base salary constituting only approximately 10a,i of each executive s total compensation opportunity, and does not include such fued compensation elements as guaranteed defined benefit pension and supplemental pension bene'its
In establishing the mix ut incentive pay used in the Company's pay-tor-performance program, the Committee balances lhe importance of meeting the Company s short-term business goals with the need tc- creale st-areliolder value over the longer lenn To nelp ensure that lhe interests of executives remain closely aligrnHi with Ihe interests ol sharelwlders target long-term compen:;al:oii opportunities represent more than twice the target compensation opportunities related tn short-term performance
Additionally, the Company s compensation program features three-year long-term incentive awarcs. including PSUs suhjeel to both performancc-hasec: and time-based vesting requiremenls and to rnrourage high-performing executives to remain with the Company RSUs that vest based on the executive s continued employment through the end of lhe three-year performance evele

As discussed above, the Commillee references the 50 ^ pcrccnlite ol the Related Dow Peers to benchmark ihe total compensation opportunity of each cf our named executive officers However the Committee does not benchmark each element of a named executive officer's total compensation opportunity Instead, consistent with the Committee's emphasis on a performance-hascd culture, lhe Committee has determined that a substantial majority of each named fiAfiTutive officer's total compensalion opportunity should be vanable and performance-based Accord.ngly. Ihe Committee delcrm.ned in its business judgment to allocate approximately 10% of each executive s total compensation opportunity in the fomi of base salary, approximately 15% to 25% in the form of short-term incentive and approximately 65% to 75% in the form of long-lerm incentive

To determine an executive's base salary, the Commiticc, m consultation with the Consultant, reviews Ihe competitive pay practices ol the Related Dow Peers for comparable positions and considers the scope of the executive s responsibility and expenence. In particular, tho Committee focuses on how base salary levels may impact the market competitiveness of an executive's lolat compensation opportunity. The Committee also discusses rls assessment of the other named executive officers with the CEO Based on its assessment, the Committee approved a base salary increase in 2013 of 12 5% for Mr. Mead. 10 7% for Mr Shammo. 7 4% for Mr Stratton and 3 1% lor Mr Milch The base salary levels of the named executive officers were adjusted with the goal of providing a total compensation opportunity that more closely approximates the 50 th percentile lor comparable executives within the Related Dow Peers, with approximately 10% of each named executive officer's lotal compensation opportunity provided in the form of base salary In 2013 the indcpcndeni memhers of the Board approved an increase of 7 1% for Mr McAdam This is the first base salary increase that Mr. McAdam has received since 2010 when he was promolc-d to tho position of President and Chief Operating Officer ol Venzon
2013 Short-Term Incentive Compensation
The Vcn/on Short-Term Incentive Plan, which rs refened lo as the Short-Term Plan, motivates executives lo achieve challenging short-term performance goals Each year, the Committee establishes the potential value of the opportunities under the Snort-Term Plan, as well as the performance targets required to achieve these opportunities
The Committee sets the values of the Short-Teirn Plan award opportunities as a percentage of an executive s base salary The applicable percentage for each named executive officer is based on the scope cf the executive's responsibilities and on lhe competitive pay practices of the Related Dow Peeis. These award opportunities are established at threshold, larget and maximum levels The Short-Term Plan award opportunities at the threshold, target and maximum levels for each of the named executive officers are shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 46

Determination of Annual Performance Measures
The Committee reviews and establishes the performance measures for the Short-Term Plan on an annual basis to help ensure that the program design appropnatefy motivates executives to achieve challenging financial and operational performance goals. In the first quarter of 2013. the Committee reviewed and approved the following annual financial and operating r^rformance measures for all corporate executives, including the named executive officers, and asenbed to each the weighting shown below as the percentage of the total Short-Term Plan award opportunity at target level performance.

Consislent with 2012, the Committee based the Short-Term Plan award opportunities lor all corporate executives including lhe naiiiwl executive officers, primarily on three Company-widn financial performance measures, as determined by specific goals for adjusted EPS. revenue and free cas'i flow T lu'se three measures we'e selected lo reflect tl» Company's strategy goals of encouraging piofitaale operations, overall growth in tne Company and el'inent use o' capital The Committee believes that these performance measures are appropnate to incentivize the Company's executives to achieve outstanding shorl-t'jnn results and. at the same time, help build long-term value tor 'oharuhnlders
Adjusted EPS.   The Commiitee also vit'ws adjusted HPS as an important indicator of Verizon s success Tho Committee assigns the greatest weight tu aujusled EPS in deit-miinuig awards under the Short-iirnn Plan, because it is broadly used and recognized by investors as a significant indicator ol Venjon s ongoing operational performance and is a clearly defined indicator of lhe Company's prcfitaoil.ty Adjusted EPS excludes nnn-recumng and non-operational items, including hut not limited to impairments and gains and fosses 'rom discontinued operations, business combinations, changes in accounting pnnciples the net impact of pension arid po'jt retirement uonutt costs extraord nsrv tems and restructurings At, a result. ad;iistec EPS is :ic1 pos.tively or negatively impacted l.-oin |n."iod to penod by tliese types of items, so the Committee believes it bout1 rellvcls the relative success of Ihc* Company s orvicmg business

Tree cash flow is determined by subtracting capital expenditures Irom cash flow from cpfr.itniis The Committee believes that this type of cash flow measLre is relevant for Verizon Because Venzon s businesses require significant capital investment, ana the level of free- cash flow reflects how u!rcionlly a hu'.,i'ie:-.s js manaji-g its cainlal expenditures Free cash flow clso provides an ■noicalion of lhe amount of cas'i U'al the Ccmoury ho* available to return lo shareholders m thy form of dividends and lo red yew its oulslanaing oebt.

Diversity  The Company is committed to promoting diversity among its employees and to recognizing and encouraging the contribution of diverse) business partners to the Company's success To reflect that important commitment, the 2013 performance measures also Include a diversity measure. For 2013, the Committee determined that the diversity target would be measured for these purposes by the percentage of new hires and promotions at and above rhe manager level consisting of minority and female candidates and the levels of supplier spending at the corporate level wilh minority* and female-owned or operated firms.
The value of the Short-Term Plan award opportunity with respect to each performance measure vanes depending on tho Committee's assessment of the Company's performance with respect to that measure. The Committee also has the discretion to mod.fy awards based on olher factors that it deems appropriate
In addition, under the Short-Term Plan nc awards may be paid if Ven/on's return on equity for the plan year calculated based on adjusted net income (ROE;), dues not exceed 8%. even if some or all of the other performance measures are acrueved

Long-Term Incentive Compensation       
The Venzon Long-Term Incentrve Plan, which is referred tb as the Long-Term Plan, is intended to reward participants' for the creation of long-term shareholder value over a three-year penod and further link executives' interests to shareholders' interests In considenng the appropnate duration of the performance cycle under the Long-Term Plan, the Comm,:tec believes that it is important to establish a penod that is longer than one year in order to meaningfully evaluate (he pc-rformance of long-term strategies and the effect on value created for shareholders Based on this consideration, the Committee determined that a three-year performance cycle for the Long-Term Plan awaids was appropriate
Consistent with the three pnor award cycles, the 2013 PSUs are payable rn cash and the 2013 RSUs are payable in Venzon shares The Committee believes that paying PSUs in cash and RSUs in shares creates an appropnate balance between the potential shareholder dilution from paying awards in shares and cash flew considerations, and that both types of awards further align executives' interests with those ol Venzon's shareholders as the ultimate values of the awards are based on the value of Venzon's common stock In addition, paying ihe 2013 RSU awards in slwires is consistent with Venzon's policy of requmng a significant level of equity ownership by our named executive officers
The value of each PSU is eaual to the value of one share of Ven/on common stock and iiccrucs dividend equivalents that are deemed to be reinvested in PSUs The d.vidend equivalents are only paid to the extent that PSUs aro vested and earned The Committee determines an executive's Iclal compensation opportunity by assuming thai he or she will earn 100% of the PSUs initially awarded' in any performance cycle However, the number of PSUs that are actually earned and paid is determined based on Venzon's acmevement of the pre-established perfonnance goals over the three-year performance cycle 1 he. final value of each PSU is based on the closing pnee of Venzon's common slock on the last trading day ol the year that the performance cycle ends As a result, awarding PSUs provides a strong incentive to executives to deliver value to Venzon's shareholders
On the date tbe long-term incentive is awarded, the Committee also establishes the number of RSUs that may be earned based on the executive's continued employment with the Company through the end of the three-year award cycle as reflected in the award agreement The value cf each RSU is equal to the value of one share cf Venzon common stock and accrues dividend equivalents that are deemed to be reinvested in RSUs The dividend equivalents are only paid to the extent that the RSUs vest The 2013 RSU awards are payable in shares at the end of the three-year award cycle and provide both a retention incentive and a performance incentive as the value of the award depends on Verizon's stock pnee The Committee determines an executive s total compensation opportunity hy assuming he or she w;|| earn 100% of the RSUs awarded
2013 Long-Term Plan Award Opportunities
Consistent with the 2012 awards, for 2013. each of the named executive officers received 60% of their 2013 Long-Term Plan award opportunity in the form of PSUs and 40% of then award opportunity in the form of RSUs. Two-thirds of the PSUs are eligible to vest based on Venzon's relative TSR performance and one-third is eligible to vest based on Venzon's cumulative free cash flow This allocation reflects the Commillees focus on encouraging both outstanding relative TSR performance and free cash flow creation and the retention of tho Company's highly-qualified cxeculive team.
The Committee generally establishes an executive's Long-Term Plan target award opportunity as a percentage ol the executive's base salary. The Long-Term Plan target award opportunity for each of the named executive officers in 2013 was 625% of base salary for Mr McAdam. 525% of base salary for Messrs. Mead, Shammo and Stratton and 500% of base salary for Mr Milch. The target award opportunities for the named executive officers increased over their 2012 target award opportunities solely as a result of their base salary increases identified above (re, their target award opportunities, expressed as a percentage of therr base satines, did not change) The Committee determined that these award levels were appropnate so that each executive's target annual Long-Term Plan award opportunity would constitute a significant portion of the executive's benchmarked total compensation opportunity consistent with the objectives of the Company's pay-for-performance program. The target award opportunity for an executive is allocated between PSUs and RSUs as noted above, and the target award opportunity allocated to each type of award ts converted into a target number of shares using the closing pnee of Venzon's common stock on the grant date.

Terms of 2013 PSU Awards
Two-thirds of the number of PSUs awarded are eligible lo vest based on Venzon's TSR as compared to the TSRs of the companies in the Related Dow Peers, as constituted on the grant dale of the award, over the 2013-20*5 performance cycle One-third of the number of PSUs awarded is eligible lo vest based on Verizon's cumulative dee cash flow over the 2013-2015 performance cycle compared agamst the performance targets established by the Committee at the beginning of the performance cycle
TSR Metric. With respect to PSUs that vest based on relative TSR performance (TSR PSUs). the following chart shows the percentage of tne 1SR PSUs awarded for the 2013-2015 performance cycle that will vest based on Venzon s relative I SR positioning compared with the companies in the Related Dow Peers
 
Venzon's TSR dunng the thrco-ycar performance cycle must rank at least 15 th, or at the 58 th percentile, among tho Rotated Dow Peers in order for 100V. of the target number of TSR PSUs lo vest. Similarly, the maximum number of TSR PSUs (200% of target) will vest only if Venzon's TSR dunng the three-year performance cycle ranks among the top four companies in the Related Dow Peers, which corresponds to tho 91 » percentile or higher. If Venzon's TSR dunng the three-year performance cycle ranks below 25 th. or below approximately the 27 <h percentile of the companies in (he Related Dow Peers, none of the TSR PSUs will vest.
Free Cash Flow Metric The percentage of PSUs awarded for the 2013-2015 performance cycle Ihat will vest based on Venzon's cumulative free cash flow (FCF) (referred to as FCF PSUs) will be determined based on the extent to which
 
Venzon's cumulative FCF over the performance cycle meets or exceeds the cumutatrvo FCF
 
 
 
performance levels that were established by the Committee at the beginning of the performance cycle FCF ts determined by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations, and is subject to adjustment to eliminate the financial impact of significant transactions, changes in legal or regulatory policy and other extraordinary items.
At the end of the performance cycle, the number of FCF PSUs that will vest, if any. will be determined by companng the actual performance of the Company against the performance objectives. The cumulative FCF target for the 2013-2015 performance cycle was set at a level that the Committee believes may be challenging in light of the economic environment, but attainable. The number of FCF PSUs that will vest will range (rom 0% if performance is below the threshold cumulative FCF level and up to 200% for performance at or above the maximum cumulative FCF level The number of FCF PSUs that will vest in between threshold and maximum performance levels will be determined by linear interpolation between vesting percentage levels

Executive Life Insurance      ... '
The Company oilers the named executive olhccrs and other executives the opportunity to participate in an executive tile insurance program m lieu of participation in the Company's basic and supplemental life insurance programs The executives who elect to participate in the executive life insurance program own the life insurance policy, and ttie Company provides an annual cash payment to lhe executives to defray a portion of the annual premiums Additional information on this program is provided m footnote 4 to the Summary Compensation Table on page 45
Financial Planning
The Company provides a voluntary Company-sponsored financial planning benefit program for the named executive officers and other executives Add-iional information on this program is provided in footnote 4 lo the Summary Compensation Table on page 45
Retirement Benefits
In 2006, the Committee determined that guaranteed pay m the form of pension and supplemental executive retirement benefits was not consistent with the Company's pay-lw-periormanc.c culture Accordingly, eticc'.wc June 30 200G. Venzon froze all future pension accruals unaer its management tax-qualified and supplemental defined benefit retirement plans These legacy retirement benefits that were previously provided to Venzon's named executive officers are described rn more detail under the section titled "Pension Plans" beginning on page 48
Dunng 2013, all ol Verizon's named executive officers were eligible to participate m the Company's lax-qualified and nonqualified retirement savings plans These plans are described in the section tilled "Defined Contribution S3vmgs Plans" beginning on page 50
Severance and Change in Control Benefits
The Committee believes thai maintaining a competitive level of separation bcncfiis is appropnate as part of an overall program designed to attract, retain and motivate the highest quality management team However, the Committee does not believe that named executive clficers should be enutled to receive cash severance benefits merely because a change in control transaction occurs Therefore, the payment cf cash severance benefits is tnggerod only by an actual cr constructive termination ol employment
ThC Company was not a party to an employment agrcemcnl with any of the named executive officers in 2013 All senior managers of the Company {including each of the named executive officers other man Mr McAdam) are eligible lo participate in the Venzon Senior Manager Severance Plan, which provides certain separation benefits to participants whose employment is involuntanfy terminated without cause from the Company Mr McAdam is not eligible to participate in the Senior Manager Severance Plan and is not eligible for cash severance benefits upon a termination
The Senior Manager Severance Plan is generally consistent with the terms and conditions of Venzon's broad-based severance plan that is provided to substantially all of Venzon's management employees other than senior managers Under the Senior Manager Severance Plan, if a participant has been involuntanfy terminated without cause or, in the case of a named executive officer, if the independent members of the Board determine that there has been a qualifying separation, the participant is eligible to receive a lump-sum cash separation payment equal to a multiple of his or her base salary and (argot short-term incentive opportunity, along with continuing medical coverage for the applicable severance period. To the extent that a senior manager is eligible for severance benefits under any other arrangement, that person will nol be eligible for any duplicative benefiis under the severance plan. The plan does not provide for any severance benefits based upon a change in control of the Company
Under the plan, (he named executive officers (other than Mr McAdam) arc eligible lo receive a cash separation payment based on a formula equal to two times the sum of their base salary end target short-term incentive opportunity Other senior manager participants are eligible to receive a cash separation payment based on a formula equal to between 0 75 and two times their base salary and target short-term incentive opportunity depending on their position at lhe time ol their separation from employment. In order to be eligible for any severance benefits, participants must execute a release satisfactory to Verizon and agree not to compete or interfere with any Venzon business for a penod of one year after their separation from employment.
41
Consistent with the Committee's.belief thai named executive officers should not be entitled lo receive cash severance bene''!s merely because a change in control transaction occurs, the Long-7 emi Plan does not allow "single trigger" accelerated vesting and payment of outstanding awards in connection with a change in control of Venzon Under the Long-Term Plan, rf. in the twelve months following a change in control the participant's employment is terminated without cause, all den-unvested PSUs will fully vest at the target level performance, all then-unvested RSUs will fully vest and PSUs and RSUs (including accrued dividend equivalents) will become payable on the regularly scheduled payment date after lhe end of the applicable award cycle.
Selected Compensation Policies
Stock Ownership Guidelines
To further align the interests of Venzon's management with those of its shareholders, the Committee has approved guidelines that require each named executive officer and other executives lo maintain certain slock ownership levels
The guidelines require the CEO to maintain share ownership equal to at least seven times his base salary and require the other named executive officers to maintain share ownership equal to at least lour times their base salaries
Executives are also prohibited from short-selling or engaging in any financial activity where they would benefit from a declme m Venzon's stock pnee.
In determining whether an executive meets the required ownership level, the calculation includes any shares held by the executive directly or through a broker, shares held through lite Venzon tax-qualified savings plan or the Venzon nonqualified savings plan and oilier deferred compensation plans and arrangements that are valued by telerence to Venzon's stock The calculation does not include any unvested PSUs or RSUs Each of tlw named execulivc officers 15 m compliance with thu stock ownership guidelines None of the namod executive officers has engaged in any pledging transaction with respect to shares of Venzon's stock
Recovery of Incentive Payments
The Commilloc believes that it is appropnate that the Company's compensation plans and agreements provide lor the termination or repayment ot certain incentive awards and payments if an execuiive engages in certa:n fraudulent or other inappropnate conduct Accordingly the Committee has adopted a policy that enables tho Company to claw back and cancel certain incentive payments received by an executive who has engaged in financial misconduct The Committee reviews this policy from lune lo time and will refine the cuncni policy to take into account changes in applicable law, including, for example, pny changes that may he required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010
Shareholder Approval of Certain Severance Arrangements
The Committee has a pohcy of seeking shareholder approval or ratification of any new employment agreement or severance agreement with an executive officer that provides for a total cash value severance payment exceeding 2 99 times the sum of Ihe executive's base salary plus Short-Term Plan incentive larget opportunity The policy defines severance pay broadly to include payments for any consulting services, payments to secure a non-compete agreement, payments to settle any litigation or claim, payments to offset tax liabilities, payments or benefits that arc not generally available to similarly-situated management employees and payments in excess ol. or outside, the terms of a Company plan or polxy
Tax and Accounting Considerations
Federal income tax law generally prohibits publicly-held companies from deducting compensation paid to a named executive officer (other than a chief financial officer) that exceeds $1 milPon dunng the lax year unless it is based upon attaining pre-established performance measures that are set by the Committee pursuant to a plan approved by the Company's shareholders. The Committee has the flexibility to take any compensation-related actions that it determines arc in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders inctudtng determining when to request shareholder approval of the Verizon incentive plans and when to award compensation that may not qualify for a tax deduction. The Committee considered the desirability of tax deductibility for performance-based executive compensation tn determining to submit the Long-Term Plan to the shareholders for approval in 2013. Compensation paid to the named executive officers under the Short-Term Plan, as well as the PSUs
42
 
 
 
awarded under the Long-Tern Plan, are generally intended to meet the performance-based exception for deductibility under the tax taws.
The Committee also considers the effect of certain accounting rules that apply to the vanous aspects of the compensation program available to the named executive officers The Committee reviews potential accounting effects in determining whether its compensation actions are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders The Committee has been advised by management that the impact of the vanable accounting treatment required for long-term incentive awards that arc payable in cash (as opposed to fixed accounting treatment for awards that are payable in shares) will depend on future stock performance
