Long-Term Incentive Awards

Under the terms of the World Fuel Services Corporation 2003 Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”), our five most senior executives are eligible to receive LTIP awards upon achievement of long-term performance goals. In 2003, LTIP awards were made to each of our five most senior executives (the “2003 LTIP awards”). The 2003 LTIP awards were based on

Table of Contents

achieving certain compound average annual growth rates (“CAGR”) in net income over the three-year period from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005. Target awards for the 2003 LTIP awards were $750,000 each for Messrs. Stebbins and Kasbar and $200,000 each for Messrs. Tocci, Clementi and Shea. The executives would earn 50% of the target award if we achieved a 15% CAGR in net income over the three-year performance period, and 100% of the target award if an 18% CAGR in net income is achieved. The maximum award was 200% of the target award, and would be earned if at least a 21% CAGR in net income was achieved over the three-year performance period. Each of the Named Executive Officers earned the maximum award. In March 2006, the maximum 2003 LTIP awards were paid to the Named Executive Officers. There were no other LTIP awards granted in 2004 or 2005.

Table of Contents

Annual Fees. Directors who are not employed by us receive an annual fee of $35,000. Directors who are employed by us do not receive additional compensation for serving as Directors. Members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Technology and Operations Committee receive an additional fee of $3,500 per year. In June 2005, the Governance Committee conducted its annual review of director compensation, including an analysis of current trends as reported in recent surveys. In noting the increased amount of time committee chairs were required to devote to their responsibilities, the Governance Committee agreed to increase the fees for chairpersons of the committees from $6,250 to $12,000, effective July 2005.

Directors who are not employed by us are also reimbursed by us for their travel, food, lodging and related expenses incurred in connection with attending board, committee and shareholder meetings as well as continuing education programs.

Stock Options. Pursuant to the 1993 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the “1993 Plan”), each non-employee Director was entitled to receive a non-qualified option to purchase 10,000 shares of our Common Stock upon reelection to the Board.

All options granted to non-employee Directors under the 1993 Plan immediately vest and remain exercisable for a term of five years from the grant date so long as such non-employee Director remains a member of the Board. The exercise price for options granted may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock.

On June 20, 2005, the six non-employee Directors who were elected to the Board on that date (i.e., Messrs. Benbow, Bakshi, Kassar, Klein, Presby and Sidel) each received options to purchase 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $25 per share.

The table below sets forth certain information pertaining to stock options exercised by the Directors in the 2005 fiscal year, and stock options held by them as of December 31, 2005.

(2) Based on a fair market value of $33.72 per share for the Common Stock, determined using the closing price on December 31, 2005. Value is calculated by multiplying (a) the difference between $33.72 and the option exercise price, by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the option.

Stock and Stock Unit Grants. To further promote Director stock ownership, we historically issued, to each of the non-employee Directors, 2,000 shares of Common Stock each year, upon his re-election to the Board, at no cost to the Director. There are no restrictions on these shares of stock. These stock awards are in addition to, and not in lieu of, options granted under the 1993 Plan.

In 2003, the Board adopted the World Fuel Services Corporation Stock Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Stock Deferral Plan”) to enable them to defer stock grants. Each non-employee Director may elect to have stock grants paid in stock units (“Stock Units”), in lieu of stock, with each Stock Unit being equivalent to one share of our Common Stock and deferred as provided in the Stock Deferral Plan. As of each cash dividend payment date with respect to Common Stock, each participant in the Stock Deferral Plan shall have credited to his or her account, as maintained by us, a number of Stock Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (a) the product of (i) the cash dividend payable with respect to each share of

 

10

Common Stock on such date, and (ii) the total number of Stock Units credited to his or her account as of the close of business on the record date applicable to such dividend payment date, by (b) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on such dividend payment date. The total number of Stock Units credited to the participant’s account shall be paid to the Director by issuing him an equal number of shares of Common Stock, upon his retirement as a Director or upon a change of control of World Fuel. Since 2003, three non-employee Directors have elected to defer stock grants pursuant to the Stock Deferral Plan.

During the 2005 fiscal year, we did not provide the Directors with any other compensation in connection with their participation on the Board or Board Committees or with respect to special assignments.

Executive Employment Agreements

Paul H. Stebbins, our Chief Executive Officer, and Michael J. Kasbar, our Chief Operating Officer, are employed pursuant to employment agreements that contain substantially similar terms, and expire in July 2007. Under their employment agreements, Messrs. Stebbins and Kasbar each receive an annual base salary of $525,000. On March 21, 2006, effective as of January 1, 2006, our Compensation Committee approved an increase of their annual base salary to $575,000.

Pursuant to these employment agreements, Messrs. Stebbins and Kasbar are eligible to receive an annual bonus under the EIP, calculated as a percentage of base salary, upon achievement of certain performance targets. For 2005, the performance targets were based on net income growth and the bonus payout ranged from 15% of base salary if at least 5% net income growth was achieved, to 200% of base salary if net income growth equaled or exceeded 15%. Messrs. Stebbins and Kasbar each earned an annual bonus equal to 200% of base salary for 2005. For 2006, the bonus performance targets are based on net income growth and the bonus payout will range from 15% of base salary if at least 5% net income growth is achieved, to 225% of base salary if net income growth equals or exceeds 21%. For 2007 and future years, different performance goals and measures may be established by the Compensation Committee.

Pursuant to their employment agreements, Messrs. Stebbins and Kasbar each is entitled to receive a cash severance payment if: (a) we terminate the executive for any reason other than death, disability or cause; (b) the executive resigns for good reason (generally a reduction in his responsibilities or compensation, or a breach by us), or resigns for any reason following a change of control; or (c) we elect not to renew the executive’s employment agreement upon expiration, for any reason other than cause. The severance payment is equal to two times the executive’s average salary and bonus during the three-year period preceding termination; provided, if (i) the termination occurs within three years after a change of control the multiple set forth above will be three instead of two, and (ii) in the case of a non-renewal, as described in item (c) above, the multiple will be one and the severance will be paid in 26 equal installments over a one year period. Upon any such termination, we will continue to provide coverage to the executive under our group insurance plans for up to three years, and all of the executive’s stock options, SSARs and restricted stock grants will immediately vest. For purposes of our employment agreements, a “change of control” is defined as set forth in our By-Laws.

The employment agreements with Messrs. Stebbins and Kasbar prohibit them from competing with us for a period of three years following the termination of their employment for any reason.

Robert S. Tocci is employed pursuant to an agreement entered into in January 2005. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Tocci received an annual base salary of $375,000. On March 21, 2006, effective as of January 1, 2006, our Compensation Committee approved an increase of his annual base salary to $475,000. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Tocci is eligible to receive an annual bonus under the EIP, calculated as a percentage of base salary, upon achievement of certain performance targets. For 2005, the performance targets were based on net income growth and the bonus payout ranged from 15% of base salary if at least 5% net income growth was achieved, to 160% of base salary if net income growth equaled or exceeded 12%. Mr. Tocci earned an annual bonus equal to 160% of base salary for 2005. For 2006, the bonus performance targets are based on net income growth and the bonus payout will range from 15% of base salary if at least 5% net income growth is achieved, to 200% of base salary if net income growth equals or exceeds 21%. For 2007 and future years, different performance goals and measures may be established by the Compensation Committee.

The employment agreement with Mr. Tocci prohibits him from competing with us for a period of one year following the termination of his employment for any reason. Mr. Tocci’s agreement also entitles him to receive a severance payment if: (a) we refuse to renew his agreement for any reason other than cause, (b) Mr. Tocci terminates his employment for good reason or (c) we notify Mr. Tocci that we will not renew the agreement upon expiration and Mr. Tocci resigns within thirty days after receipt of this notice. The amount of the severance payment will be equal to the sum of six months salary plus fifty percent of the average annual bonus earned by Mr. Tocci for the two calendar years preceding the termination of his employment. In addition, if the agreement is terminated under the circumstances described in (c) above, Mr. Tocci will also

 

11


Table of Contents

be entitled to the salary payable over the remaining term of his employment agreement, plus a prorated bonus for the year of termination. If following a change of control, Mr. Tocci’s employment is terminated without cause, or if he resigns for good reason, then in lieu of the amounts described above, the severance payment will be equal to (i) the greater of the salary payable over the remaining term of the agreement, or one year’s salary, plus (ii) the average annual bonus earned by Mr. Tocci for the two calendar years preceding the termination.

Michael S. Clementi is employed pursuant to an agreement entered into in July 2002. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Clementi received an annual base salary of $425,000.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Clementi is eligible to receive an annual bonus under the EIP, calculated as a percentage of base salary, upon achievement of certain performance targets. For 2005, the performance targets were based on net income growth and the bonus payout ranged from 15% of base salary if at least 5% net income growth was achieved, to 120% of base salary if net income growth equaled or exceeded 9%. Mr. Clementi earned an annual bonus equal to 120% of base salary for 2005. For 2006, the bonus performance targets are based on net income growth and the bonus payout will range from 15% of base salary if at least 5% net income growth is achieved, to 200% of base salary if net income growth equals or exceeds 21%. For 2007 and future years, different performance goals and measures may be established by the Compensation Committee. The employment agreement with Mr. Clementi prohibits him from competing with us for a period of one year following the termination of his employment for any reason.

Although our employment agreement with Francis X. Shea expired on August 31, 2005, he continues to be employed by us as Chief Risk and Administrative Officer. On March 21, 2006, effective as of January 1, 2006, our Compensation Committee approved an increase of his annual base salary to $325,000.

Audit Fees. These amounts represent fees for professional services rendered for the audits of our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K, reviews of the quarterly consolidated financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q, statutory audits, other SEC filings and accounting consultations on matters related to the annual audits or interim reviews. For the 2004 fiscal year, the audit fees also include $500,000 in additional fees for professional services rendered for the reaudit of the financial statements of Tramp Oil, which we acquired in April 2004. The increase in audit fees billed to us in the 2005 fiscal year was principally attributable to additional professional services rendered in connection with our statutory audits, the restatement of our financial statements in the first quarter of 2005, our September 2005 public stock offering and derivative accounting consultations.

Audit-Related Fees. These amounts represent fees for professional services rendered for the assessment of our internal control assertions required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the audit of the financial statement for our employee benefit plan. The increase in audit-related fees billed to us in the 2005 fiscal year was principally attributable to additional professional services rendered in connection with the 2005 internal control assessment.

All Other Fees. These amounts represent subscription fees for accounting research software.

The Audit Committee approved all services provided by, and all fees paid to, PricewaterhouseCoopers. The Audit Committee has considered the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers as described above, and has determined that such services are compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers’ independence.

The Audit Committee approved a policy that authorizes the Chairman of the Audit Committee to pre-approve audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered certified public accountants so long as such services: (a) involve fees of less than $10,000, and (b) are subsequently reported to and approved by the full Audit Committee. Pursuant to this policy, all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered certified public accountants, involving fees of $10,000 or more, must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
