PROXY STATEMENT
2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Modine Manufacturing Company
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
This proxy statement is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors for use at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. on July 22, 2010 at:
The Pfister Hotel
424 East Wisconsin Avenue
Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
This proxy statement and accompanying proxy card are first being sent to shareholders on or about June 22, 2010.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING
The Rules of Conduct for the annual meeting are attached as Appendix A. Please review the Rules of Conduct before attending the annual meeting. The Rules of Conduct will also be distributed at the annual meeting.
Who may vote?
You may vote your shares of common stock if our records show that you owned the shares at the close of business on May 28, 2010, the record date. A total of 46,261,554 shares of common stock were outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote at the annual meeting. You have one vote for each share of common stock you own. The holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. The enclosed proxy card shows the number of shares you may vote.
How do I vote?
You may vote in person or by a properly appointed proxy.
Registered Holders
Registered holders may vote by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card or electronically either via the Internet or by calling Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Specific instructions are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. You may also vote in person at the annual meeting.
The Internet and telephone voting procedures on the enclosed proxy card are for your convenience and reduce costs for Modine. The procedures are designed to authenticate your identity, allow you to give voting instructions and confirm that those instructions have been recorded properly.
Street Name Holders
If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or brokerage firm, you may be eligible to vote your shares electronically via the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm is participating in the Broadridge Investor
Communication Services’ program, your voting form will provide you with instructions.
401(k) Retirement Plan Participants
If you are a participant in one of Modine’s 401(k) Retirement Plans, you will receive a proxy on which you may indicate your voting instructions for the shares held in your plan account. The trustee for the plan, Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company N.A., will vote your shares as you direct. If a proxy is not returned for shares held in a plan, the trustee generally will vote those shares in the same proportion that all shares in the plan for which voting instructions have been received are voted, although it may do otherwise in its discretion.
May I vote in person at the annual meeting?
Although we encourage you to complete and return the proxy card or vote via the Internet or by telephone to ensure that your vote is counted, you may attend the annual meeting and vote your shares in person. You will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker if you hold your shares in street name and want to vote those shares at the annual meeting in person.
Please tell us when you appoint your proxy if you plan on attending the annual meeting so that we may have an accurate count of the number of shareholders attending the meeting.
What does the Board of Directors recommend?
The Board of Directors’ recommendation is included with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the board recommends a vote:
FOR election of the Company-nominated slate of three directors for terms expiring in 2013 (see Item 1); and
FOR ratification of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm (see Item 2).
Unless you give other instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote FOR Items 1 and 2.
What if other matters come up at the annual meeting?
To our knowledge, the matters described in this proxy statement are the only matters that will be subject to a vote at the annual meeting. If other matters are properly presented, the persons appointed as proxies will vote your shares on those other matters in accordance with their best judgment.
May I change my vote after I appoint a proxy?
Yes, you may change your vote by revoking your proxy. You may revoke your proxy by:
·
|
submitting a new proxy;
|
·
|
giving written notice before the annual meeting to the Company’s Secretary stating that you are revoking your previous proxy;
|
·
|
revoking your proxy in the same manner you initially submitted it – by Internet, the telephone or mail; or
|
·
|
attending the annual meeting and voting your shares in person.
|
If you decide to vote your shares in person, we prefer that you first revoke your prior proxy in the same way you initially submitted it – that is, by Internet, the telephone or mail. The presence at the annual meeting of a shareholder who has made an effective proxy appointment does not, by itself, constitute a revocation of a proxy appointment.
How are votes counted?
A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
Voting on the Election of Directors (Item 1)
Directors in an uncontested election are elected by a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote in the election at a shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present. Because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will not have an effect on the vote.
Voting on the Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Item 2)
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal, provided a quorum is present. Because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast, they will not have an effect on the vote.
Who will count the votes?
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., an independent tabulator, will count the votes under the supervision of the Inspectors of Election appointed by the Board of Directors.
Who pays for this proxy solicitation?
Modine pays for the proxy solicitation. Directors, officers and employees of Modine, who will receive no additional compensation for their services, may solicit proxies in person or by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or other means. Brokers, banks, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to solicit beneficial owners of shares and will be reimbursed for their expenses.
How may I help reduce mailing costs?
Eligible shareholders who have more than one account in their name or the same address as other shareholders may authorize us to discontinue mailings of multiple annual reports and proxy statements. Most shareholders can also view future annual reports and proxy statements on the Internet rather than receiving paper copies in the mail. See the next two questions and answers and your proxy card for more information.
Are proxy materials and the annual report available electronically?
Yes, they are available at www.proxyvote.com and on our website, www.modine.com. In addition, shareholders may elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports on the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. If you are a shareholder of record, you may choose this option and save us the cost of producing and mailing these documents by following the instructions provided on the proxy card to vote on the Internet. On the referenced website, you will be given instructions to choose to receive future proxy statements and annual reports electronically. If you hold your stock in street name, please refer to the information provided by the party in whose name the shares are held for instructions on how to elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports on the Internet.
What happens if multiple shareholders share the same address?
We adopted a procedure called "householding" so we are sending only one proxy statement to those with the same last name at a single address, unless we have received instructions to do otherwise. Householding reduces our printing and postage costs. If a shareholder of record wishes to receive a separate copy of a proxy statement or annual report in the future, he or she may provide written notice to the Company’s Secretary, Modine Manufacturing Company, 1500 DeKoven Avenue, Racine, WI 53403-2552, or oral notice by calling 262-636-1517 and tell us so. Upon written or oral request, the Company will promptly send a copy of either document.
Shareholders of record sharing the same address and receiving multiple copies of the annual report and proxy statement may request householding by contacting us in the same manner. If you own your shares in street name, you may request householding by contacting the entity in whose name the shares are held.

ITEM 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Action will be taken at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders for the election of three directors to serve as directors until the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, serving staggered three-year terms. The Board of Directors currently consists of twelve members with three classes of three, five and four directors each.
The nominees for election are Thomas A. Burke, Charles P. Cooley and Gary L. Neale, each of whom is an incumbent standing for re-election. The election will be determined by a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote in the election at a shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present.
It is intended that the persons appointed as proxies will vote FOR the election of the nominees listed below, unless instructions to the contrary are given to them. The nominees have indicated that they are able and willing to serve as directors. While it is not anticipated that any of the nominees will be unable to take office, if that happens, it is intended that the proxies will vote FOR the substitute nominee(s) designated by the Board of Directors. In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, a director shall hold office until the end of such director’s term and until the director’s successor shall have been elected, there is a decrease in the number of directors or until his or her prior death, resignation or removal. Vacancies may be filled by the shareholders or the remaining directors. See Selection of Nominees to the Board of Directors below.
The Company's Bylaws provide that each Director shall retire at the close of the term in which he or she attains the age of 70 years, except that the provision shall not apply to any director who has been exempted from the provision by a resolution passed by a two-third's vote of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors voted unanimously (with Mr. Neale abstaining) to allow Mr. Neale to seek re-election to another term on the board given his years of exemplary service to the Company, the board’s desire to preserve continuity and his importance as the board Chair.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all of the director-nominees: Messrs. Burke, Cooley and Neale.
Qualifications of Modine’s Board of Directors as a Governing Entity
Modine's board consists of proven business and technology leaders from various industries, disciplines and end markets, who know Modine, its products and its businesses well. For a majority of the members of the board, that knowledge has been gained in years of service as Modine board members. For individuals who are new to the board, that knowledge was gained in employment with industry leaders in markets important to the Company - commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), off-highway OEMs and developers and manufacturers of commercial HVAC products. The board benefits from the interplay among a technologist at an internationally recognized university; sitting Chief Financial Officers of large, complex public companies; former managers of public companies, including international companies; Modine's Chief Executive Officer; and, now, former managers of OEMs in the Company's markets, as described above, as well as the experience brought by those who serve on other public company boards.

Public Company Directorships:
|
|
Woodward Governor Company; EMCOR Group, Inc.; and Proliance International, Inc. (2005 - 2006)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Individual Qualification:
|
|
Broad business management experience, extensive knowledge of Modine and significant outside board experience.
|
The Company's business is managed under the direction of its Board of Directors, pursuant to the laws of the State of Wisconsin, its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and its Bylaws. Members of the Board of Directors are kept informed of the Company's operations through discussions with the CEO and key members of management, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.
The Company reviews and evaluates its corporate governance policies and practices, particularly in light of rule changes made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), and believes that its current policies and practices meet these requirements. Our corporate governance policies, including our Guidelines on Corporate Governance and charters for committees of the board, are available on our website, www.modine.com, and are available in print to any shareholder or other interested person upon request.
Code of Ethics
On November 10, 2009, Modine adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics summarizes the compliance and ethical standards and expectations we have for all our employees, officers (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and directors with respect to their conduct in furtherance of Company business. It contains procedures for reporting suspected violations of the Code of Ethics, including procedures for the reporting of questionable accounting or auditing matters or other concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. The Company has established a Business Ethics Program through which employees and others may report concerns, anonymously and in confidence, regarding such matters. A copy of our Code of Ethics, as well as further information regarding our Business Ethics Program, is available on our website, www.modine.com. These materials are also available in print to any shareholder or other interested person upon request. If we make any substantive amendment to the Code of Ethics, we will disclose the nature of such amendment on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K. In addition, if a waiver from the Code of Ethics is granted to an executive officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such waiver on our website, in a press release or in a current report on Form 8-K.
Director Independence
The Company requires, as set forth in its Guidelines on Corporate Governance, that a majority of the board’s members be independent. However, the Company believes it is in its best interest to have the CEO and certain other executive officers serve as a director. At a minimum, to qualify as "independent," a director must meet the independence standards of the NYSE. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assesses independence on a regular basis, and each director is responsible for bringing to the attention of that committee any changes to his or her status that may affect independence. In addition, the directors complete, on an annual basis, a questionnaire prepared by the Company that is designed to elicit information that the Company uses to assess director independence. At least annually, the board reviews the relationships that each director has with the Company. Only those directors that the board affirmatively determines have no material relationship with the Company, and who do not have any of the relationships that prevent independence under the standards of the NYSE, are considered to be independent directors.
The board has determined that the following directors are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE: Messrs. Anderson, Cooley, Jones, Kuester, Martin, Moore, Neale, Patterson and Yonker, Dr. Incropera and Ms. Williams. The board concluded that none of these directors possessed the categorical relationships set forth in the NYSE listing standards that prevent independence and had no other business or other relationships with the Company that would preclude a determination of their independence. Mr. Burke is not independent given his position as President and CEO of the Company.
Non-Executive Chairman
In 2008, the Board of Directors appointed Gary L. Neale Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. As Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, Mr. Neale presides over meetings of the shareholders, the Board of Directors and executive sessions of the Board of Directors and carries out such other duties as directed by the Board of Directors. The Company believes this leadership structure is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders because it allows the Company to benefit from the leadership ability and industry experience that each of Mr. Neale and Mr. Burke possesses.
Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for risk oversight for the Company. Management provides the board with information on a regular basis to keep the members of the Board of Directors apprised of risks Company management identify. These risks, including financial, organizational and strategic risks, are reviewed and discussed with the board as part of the business and operating review conducted at each of the board’s regular meetings. As described below in the Roles of the Board’s Committees, the Board of Directors has delegated certain responsibilities to its committees. The committees have oversight of risks that fall within the committee’s responsibilities. The Audit Committee has primary oversight of the Company’s financial reporting, internal control and compliance risks. The ONC Committee evaluates the risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and programs as described in Compensation-Related Risk Assessment below. Company management is responsible for managing risk and, in fiscal 2010, initiated an enterprise risk management (“ERM”) program. Company management intends to further develop the ERM program and expects to make regular reports to the board and its committees, as appropriate, in the future.
Selection of Nominees to the Board of Directors
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) considers prospective candidates for board membership who are recommended by its members, as well as management, shareholders and independent consultants hired by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee may also decide to engage a professional search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates. When such a search firm is engaged, the Nominating Committee sets its fees and scope of engagement.
Once the Nominating Committee identifies a prospective nominee, it initially determines whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. The Nominating Committee makes its initial determination based on the information provided to it with the recommendation of the prospective candidate, as well as the Nominating Committee's own knowledge of the prospective candidate, which may be supplemented by inquiries to the person making the recommendation or others.
The Nominating Committee evaluates the prospective nominee, considering factors it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the board and the evaluations of other prospective nominees. In assessing candidates, the board considers issues such as the individual’s education, experience, contribution to diversity of the board, industry knowledge and understanding of matters such as finance, manufacturing, technology and others frequently encountered by a global business.
In choosing a candidate for board membership, every effort is made to complement and supplement skills within the existing board and strengthen any identified areas. Further criteria include a candidate's personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, as well as his or her willingness and ability to devote sufficient time to attend meetings and participate effectively on the board.
In connection with this evaluation, the board determines whether to interview the prospective nominee, and if warranted, one or more members of the Nominating Committee, and others as appropriate, including the Non-Executive Chairman, will interview prospective nominees. After completing the evaluation and interview, the Nominating Committee makes a recommendation to the board regarding the nomination of a candidate and the board acts on that recommendation.
Shareholder Nominations and Recommendations of Director Candidates
The Bylaws of the Company provide that any shareholder who is entitled to vote for the election of directors at a meeting called for such purpose may nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors. Shareholders who desire to nominate a person or persons for election to the board must comply with the notice requirements in the Bylaws, a copy of which is available from the Company’s Secretary. For consideration at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, nominations must be received by the Secretary no earlier than April 13, 2011 and no later than May 9, 2011. Shareholders who want to submit a recommendation for a director candidate for the board may submit the recommendation to the board using the procedure described below under Shareholder and Other Interested Persons’ Communication with the Board. The Nominating Committee intends to evaluate candidates recommended by shareholders in the same manner that it evaluates other candidates. The Nominating Committee requests that it receive any such recommendations by October 1, 2010 for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Shareholder and Other Interested Persons’ Communication with the Board
Shareholders and other interested persons wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors or with a board member (including the Non-Executive Chairman) should address communications to the board or to the particular board member, c/o Secretary, Modine Manufacturing Company, 1500 DeKoven Avenue, Racine, Wisconsin 53403-2552. In accordance with a process approved by the Board of Directors, the Secretary reviews all such correspondence. The Secretary forwards to the board a summary of all such correspondence and copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of the Secretary, deal with the functions of the board or committees thereof or that she otherwise determines requires their attention. Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters are immediately brought to the attention of the Company's Business Ethics Committee and handled in accordance with procedures established by the Audit Committee with respect to such matters. From time to time, the board may change the process by which shareholders and other interested persons may communicate with the Board of Directors or its members. Please refer to the Company's website, www.modine.com, for any changes to this process.
Board Meetings and Committees
The Board of Directors held eight meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and had the following four standing committees: Audit; Officer Nomination & Compensation; Corporate Governance and Nominating; and Technology.
In July of each year, the board selects the members of each of the committees. The table below shows the membership of each committee, the number of times the board and each committee met and the attendance at those meetings. All directors attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of the board meetings and meetings of committees on which he or she served. The Technology Committee, the members of which are Dr. Incropera and Messrs. Cooley, Jones, and Martin, did not meet during fiscal 2010.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting. Although the Company does not have a formal policy that its directors attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it expects them to do so and the Company's directors historically have attended these meetings. All of the then current directors attended the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors conducts its annual meeting directly after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Roles of the Board's Committees
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is a separately designated standing committee of the Board of Directors, established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The functions of the Audit Committee are described below in the Report of the Audit Committee in this proxy statement. The charter of the Audit Committee is available on the Company's website, www.modine.com.
The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” as defined in the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE relating to audit committees. The Board of Directors has determined that each Audit Committee member satisfies the financial literacy and experience requirements of the NYSE, and that Mr. Cooley (the Chair of the Committee) and Ms. Williams each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC rules.
Officer Nomination & Compensation Committee
Composition. The Officer Nomination & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “ONC Committee”) is composed exclusively of non-employee, independent directors with no business relationship with the Company, other than in their capacity as directors, and no interlocking relationships with the Company that are subject to disclosure under the rules of the SEC related to proxy statements.
Scope of Authority. The ONC Committee reviews the performance of the executive officers, other than the CEO, and works in conjunction with the Nominating Committee to review the performance of the CEO; reviews candidates for positions as officers; makes recommendations to the board on officer candidates; makes recommendations to the board on compensation of the CEO; establishes the compensation of non-CEO executive officers and other officers of the Company; considers recommendations made by management relating to director compensation and presents those recommendations to the board; administers the incentive compensation plans in which executive officers and directors participate; and, since the elimination of the Pension Committee, as described below, reviews the Company’s benefit programs made available to some or all employees of the Company. The charter of the ONC Committee is available on the Company's website, www.modine.com.
Role of the Compensation Consultant. The ONC Committee retained Towers Watson as its independent executive compensation consultant through May 2010. Towers Watson reported directly to the ONC Committee. A representative of Towers Watson attended meetings of the ONC Committee as requested, and communicated with the Chair of the ONC Committee between meetings; however, the ONC Committee made all decisions regarding the compensation of Modine’s officers, including its named executive officers.
The ONC Committee recognizes the potential for entrenchment with management and consultants, particularly consultants providing information that supports compensation level decisions. The ONC Committee in no way delegated its function and responsibilities to Towers Watson, management or any other service provider.
The ONC Committee regularly reviews the services provided by its outside consultants. Towers Watson also acted as a consultant to the Company on matters concerning health care plan administration and strategy. The ONC Committee believes that Towers Watson provided independent services to the ONC Committee but exercised right to replace Towers Watson at any time.
Role of Executive Officers. Mr. Burke, as CEO, recommends to the ONC Committee any compensation changes affecting the Company’s officers, including the other named executive officers included in the Summary Compensation Table below. Mr. Burke reviews with the ONC Committee the performance goals of each officer and the level of achievement of those goals as well as the Company’s performance during the fiscal year. Of increasing importance in this review process are retention considerations. The ONC Committee reviews Mr. Burke’s recommendations and either approves or does not approve any compensation changes affecting officers of the Company. Mr. Burke has no role in setting his own compensation.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. The members of the ONC Committee are Dennis J. Kuester, Vincent L. Martin, Marsha C. Williams (chair) and Michael T. Yonker. See the Director Independence section above for additional information concerning director independence.
The Company had no “Compensation Committee Interlocks” as described by the SEC during fiscal 2010.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee develops and implements policies and practices relating to corporate governance matters, including reviewing and monitoring implementation of the Company's Guidelines on Corporate Governance and the Code of Ethics; develops and reviews background information on prospective nominees to the board and makes recommendations to the board regarding such persons; supervises the board's annual self-evaluation working with an outside law firm to conduct such evaluation; and works with the ONC Committee, as appropriate, to review and monitor succession plans relating to the CEO and to evaluate the performance of the CEO. The Nominating Committee is composed exclusively of non-employee, independent directors with no business relationship with the Company, other than in their capacity as directors, and no interlocking relationships with the Company that are subject to disclosure under the rules of the SEC related to proxy statements. The charter of the Nominating Committee is available on the Company's website, www.modine.com.
Technology Committee
The Technology Committee reviews and makes recommendations, as appropriate, to the entire Board of Directors on major strategies and other subjects related to the Company’s approach, emphasis, and direction with regard to technical innovation and opportunities; the technology acquisition process to assure ongoing business growth; and development and implementation of measurement and tracking systems important to successful innovation.
Compensation of Directors
Employees of Modine do not receive any compensation for serving on the board. For the 2010 fiscal year, non-employee directors, including the Chairman of the Board, received the following: an annual retainer of $35,000, payable quarterly; $1,750 for each board meeting attended; $1,500 for each committee meeting attended; an annual retainer of $5,000 for acting as Chair of the ONC Committee, Nominating Committee or Technology Committee and an annual retainer of $10,000 for acting as Chair of the Audit Committee; reimbursement for travel, lodging, and related expenses incurred in attending board and/or committee meetings; and travel-accident and director and officer liability insurance. The Board of Directors determined that all board fees as described above earned from April 1, 2009 through December 2009 (other than reimbursements for travel, lodging and related expenses) would be accrued but not paid until December 2009. The Company paid such accrued amounts in December 2009.
The 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) gives discretion to the board, or a committee of the board, to grant stock options and stock awards to non-employee directors. The Incentive Plan is currently administered by the ONC Committee. The board or the ONC Committee, as applicable, has broad discretionary authority to set the terms of awards under the Incentive Plan. It is the current policy of the Board of Directors to grant unrestricted stock awards to each non-employee director after the annual meeting. The Company granted each non-employee director of the Company (other than the Non-Executive Chairman) 5,680 unrestricted shares of stock after the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Company granted Mr. Neale, the Non-Executive Chairman, 14,648 shares of stock at the same time. The Company granted Mr. Neale the greater number of shares to compensate him for his work as Non-Executive Chairman. As Non-Executive Chairman, Mr. Neale, among other duties, generally attends all meetings of the board’s committees but does not receive any attendance fee for those meetings.
The following table sets forth compensation paid to or accrued for non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors in fiscal 2010:

After the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, all of the independent directors, other than Mr. Neale, were granted 5,680 shares of unrestricted stock under the Incentive Plan. As explained above, the Company granted 14,648 shares of unrestricted stock to Mr. Neale at that same time.
|
None of the directors included in the table above held any unvested stock awards as of the end of fiscal 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the directors included in the table above held options to purchase shares of common stock, all of which are exercisable, as follows: Mr. Cooley – none; Dr. Incropera - 20,487 shares; Mr. Jones - 36,876 shares; Mr. Kuester - 36,876 shares; Mr. Martin - 20,487 shares; Mr. Neale – 37,900 shares; Ms. Williams - 20,487 shares and Mr. Yonker - 36,876 shares.

Represents amounts expensed in fiscal 2010 relating to stock grants. The assumptions used to determine the value of the awards are discussed in Note 24 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

Represents the change in pension value between the end of fiscal 2009 and the end of fiscal 2010 under the Modine Manufacturing Company Director Emeritus Retirement Plan. The change in pension value is solely a result of the change in the interest rate used to calculate the present value of the pension benefit under the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan because no benefits otherwise continue to accrue under that plan. The Company used interest rates of 5.93 , 7.73 percent and 6.62 percent to calculate the present value of the pension benefit at March 31, 2010, March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.
|
The Board of Directors adopted the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan pursuant to which any person, other than an employee of the Company, who was or became a director of Modine on or after April 1, 1992 and who retired from the board would be paid a retirement benefit equal to the annualized sum directors were paid for their service to the Company as directors (including board meeting attendance fees but excluding any applicable committee attendance fees) in effect at the time such director ceased his or her service as a director. The retirement benefit continues for the period of time equal in length to the duration of the director's board service. If a director dies before retirement or after retirement during such period, his or her spouse or other beneficiary would receive the benefit. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan) of Modine, each eligible director, or his or her spouse or other beneficiary entitled to receive a retirement benefit through him or her, would be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the total of all benefit payments that would otherwise be payable under the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan. The retirement benefit is not payable if the director directly or indirectly competes with the Company or if the director is convicted of fraud or a felony and such fraud or felony is determined by disinterested members of the Board of Directors to have damaged Modine. Effective July 1, 2000, the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan was frozen with no further benefits accruing under it. All eligible directors who retired prior to July 1, 2000 continue to receive benefits pursuant to the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan. All current directors eligible for participation, Ms. Williams, Messrs. Jones, Kuester, Martin, Neale and Yonker, and Dr. Incropera, accrued pension benefits pursuant to the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan until July 1, 2000.
Share Ownership Guidelines
Effective January 16, 2008, the board adopted share ownership guidelines for incumbent members of the Board of Directors and officers of the Company. The guidelines are set forth in the Company’s Guidelines on Corporate Governance that are available at the Company’s website, www.modine.com. The board believes that in order to further align the interests of members of the board and shareholders, members of the board and officers should have a meaningful personal investment in the Company. Only shares of stock, either restricted or unrestricted, count toward the guideline figures. The guidelines generally provide that by 2013, incumbent directors are expected to hold shares of Company stock with a value of at least three times the value of the director’s annual cash retainer. All directors, except for the three appointed in May, are in compliance with the guidelines.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains the compensation philosophy, policies and practices of the Company with respect to the named executive officers (“NEOs”) included in the Summary Compensation Table below as required by the SEC. The NEOs for fiscal 2010 were:
|
·
|
Thomas A. Burke, President and CEO (Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (on an interim basis as of May 25, 2010));
|
|
·
|
Bradley C. Richardson, former Executive Vice President – Corporate Strategy and CFO (former Principal Financial Officer);
|
|
·
|
Klaus A. Feldmann, Regional Vice President – Europe;
|
|
·
|
Thomas F. Marry, Regional Vice President – Asia & Commercial Products Group;
|
|
·
|
Scott L. Bowser – Regional Vice President – Americas; and
|
|
·
|
Margaret C. Kelsey, Vice President – Corporate Development, General Counsel and Secretary.
|
Other than the Principal Executive Officer and former Principal Financial Officer, Messrs. Feldmann, Marry and Bowser and Ms. Kelsey were the four most highly compensated executive officers as of March 31, 2010.
The compensation for these individuals is listed in the tables on pages 22 through 30 of this Proxy Statement.
Executive Summary
Executive Compensation Philosophy. The ONC Committee seeks to pay the executive officers of Modine fairly for performance consistent with Modine’s core values. The ONC Committee believes that approach will enhance shareholder return.
Composition of the ONC Committee. Ms. Williams, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., is the chairperson of the ONC Committee, and Messrs. Kuester, Martin and Yonker serve as members. All of these individuals are seasoned executives with extensive managerial and public company board experience as well as significant experience gained serving on Modine’s Board of Directors. The members of the ONC Committee are acutely attuned to the economic challenges Modine faced in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010. Please see Biographies of Nominees and Continuing Directors above for additional information concerning the members of the ONC Committee.
Factors Influencing Executive Compensation in Fiscal 2010. The global economic crisis that occurred during fiscal 2009 threatened the viability of the Company. In the face of this crisis, the Company took decisive steps to reduce costs, including closing plants; paring its product portfolio; drastically reducing its global workforce, including the elimination of senior leaders; and sharpening its capital allocation discipline.
In response to the global economic crisis and consistent with the measures taken by the Company, the ONC Committee:
|
·
|
Froze base salary at fiscal 2009 levels for all NEOs;
|
|
·
|
Set the short-term, performance-based cash award to be paid at Target levels only if the Company complied with the financial covenants in its debt documents which were to achieve Adjusted EBITDA of more than $35 million and to limit capital expenditures to no more than $70 million; and
|
|
·
|
Suspended the use of performance stock awards because the significant uncertainty in the global economy created a situation where meaningful long-term performance targets were nearly impossible to establish. In lieu of performance stock awards, the ONC Committee awarded stock options and retention restricted stock awards to NEOs.
|
Other Significant Actions of the ONC Committee in Fiscal 2010.
Retention Plan. The ONC Committee reevaluated the retention plan it established in fiscal 2009 and modified it to eliminate the repayment requirement should a recipient leave the Company prior to April 1, 2011.
Formation of a Peer Group. The ONC Committee directed Towers Watson to create a peer group for Modine consisting of public companies with revenues between $1 billion and $3 billion with an industrial, automotive, manufacturing and/or electrical components and equipment focus for use in making compensation decisions for future years.
Use of Compensation Survey Data. In prior years, the ONC Committee reviewed survey data prepared by its compensation consultant, Towers Watson, to compare elements of executive compensation at the Company to the general levels shown in the survey results. However, the ONC Committee did not use survey data or other benchmarking tools in setting executive compensation in fiscal 2010 because it elected to freeze salaries at fiscal 2009 levels. Further, the ONC Committee determined that the Company and the NEOs were encountering unprecedented turmoil in the Company’s markets and survey data for years prior to the global recession was not relevant in determining compensation and incentives in fiscal 2010. In addition to freezing salaries at fiscal 2009 levels, the ONC Committee did not change the payout level under the short-term performance-based cash award plan for fiscal 2010.
Alignment of Objectives with Results. The ONC Committee believes the structure of its executive compensation program contributed to the Company’s improved financial condition in fiscal 2010. The Company’s stock price closed at $11.24 on March 31, 2010 versus a closing price of $2.50 at March 31, 2009. The Company remained in compliance with its financial covenants and, as a result, paid a bonus to the NEOs as described below under Elements of Executive Compensation for Fiscal 2010 –Short-Term, Performance-Based Cash Award.
Overall Goals of the Executive Compensation Program
The ONC Committee sets the compensation philosophy at Modine. In determining the philosophy, the ONC Committee seeks to help the Company achieve its short- and long-term financial goals and encourage its executive officers to act as owners of the Company. In addition, the ONC Committee is focused on attracting and retaining employees who are qualified, motivated and committed to excellence. The ONC Committee believes these goals can be accomplished through a compensation program that provides a balanced mix of cash and equity-based compensation. Base salary is intended to reward short-term performance as well as serve as a retention tool. The annual cash incentive is intended to reward the achievement of annual operating goals that are critical to the Company’s short-term business objectives. The equity portion of the compensation package provides incentives that align the executives’ returns with those of shareholders, encourages long-term retention and rewards the executive for the Company’s superior long-term performance.
The ONC Committee has the following principles:
|
·
|
Compensation is a primary factor in attracting and retaining employees and Modine's goals can only be achieved if it attracts and retains qualified and highly skilled people;
|
|
·
|
All elements of executive compensation, including base salary, targeted annual incentives (cash-based), and targeted long-term incentives (stock-based), are set to levels that the ONC Committee believes ensure that executives are fairly, but not excessively, compensated;
|
|
·
|
Strong financial and operational performance is expected and shareholders’ investments must be preserved and enhanced over time;
|
|
·
|
Compensation must be linked to the interests of shareholders and the most effective means of ensuring this linkage is with equity incentives such as restricted stock awards and stock option grants;
|
|
·
|
Operating units of the Company are interdependent and the Company, as a whole, benefits from cooperation and close collaboration among individual units so it is important to reward overall corporate results rather than the performance of any single operating unit; and
|
|
·
|
The executive compensation program should reflect the economic condition of the Company so in a year in which the Company underperforms, the compensation of the executive officers will be lower than in years when the Company is achieving its objectives.
|
As reflected in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the ONC Committee believes the compensation program is aligned with these principles.
Treatment of the CEO
The CEO participates in the same programs and receives compensation based generally on the same factors as the other NEOs. However, the level of the CEO’s compensation is even more heavily dependent upon the Company’s performance than the other NEOs’. Mr. Burke’s overall compensation reflects a greater degree of policy- and decision-making authority and a higher level of responsibility with respect to the strategic direction and financial and operational results of the Company. Given his key role in policy and decision making, the ONC Committee believes that the CEO’s compensation should be weighted more heavily toward equity awards so his compensation more directly correlates with the Company’s performance.
Factors Influencing Executive Compensation in Fiscal 2010
Modine’s financial results for fiscal 2009 – a loss from continuing operations of $103.6 million, or $3.23 per share – were disappointing. Revenues declined to $1.4 billion amid the lowest vehicular production rates in decades. Modine’s two largest markets, North America and Europe, were particularly hard hit by the global recession. Gross profit declined 23 percent from the previous year to $187 million, as some relative stabilization in North America’s profitability was more than offset by a steep decline in European profitability. Modine’s share price reached historic lows. These results caused Modine to be out of compliance with its debt covenants. In late fiscal 2009, the Company amended its debt covenants to give Modine access to additional liquidity. In the face of this crisis, the Company took decisive steps to reduce costs, including closing plants; paring its product portfolio; drastically reducing is global workforce, including the elimination of senior leaders; and renewing its sharp focus on capital allocation discipline.
The ONC Committee’s structure for executive compensation for fiscal 2010 reflected not only an understanding of the effect the recession had on the Company but also a lack of satisfaction with the Company’s financial results. The ONC Committee sought to reward NEOs for managing through the global recession while also motivating them to remain committed to delivering improved results.
Elements of Executive Compensation for Fiscal 2010
Base Salary
Base salary is designed to attract and retain executives by compensating them for their day-to-day activities, level of responsibility and sustained individual performance. Individual performance, based upon achievement of the employee’s performance management plan, is a key component in determining base salary and any adjustments to base salary. The determination of base salary affects every other element of executive compensation because all of the other components of executive compensation, including short-term, performance-based awards; long-term incentive compensation payouts; retirement benefits; and severance, are determined based on the amount of the individual’s base salary. The ONC Committee annually reviews base salaries to ensure that, on the basis of responsibility, performance and job scope, the compensation levels are in keeping with the ONC Committee's principles.
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Nominating Committee”), working with the ONC Committee, evaluates the individual performance of the Company’s CEO. The ONC Committee recommends the CEO’s base salary to the Board of Directors based upon this evaluation. The ONC Committee and the Board of Directors, in determining Mr. Burke’s annual base salary, evaluate Mr. Burke’s achievement of his performance management plan goals.
The ONC Committee froze the salaries of all NEOs, including the CEO, and other officers in fiscal 2010 at the fiscal 2009 levels. The ONC Committee determined that the NEO’s and other officers’ compensation was appropriate at the fiscal 2009 levels given the global recession and the Company’s resulting financial condition.
Short-Term, Performance-Based Cash Award
The Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) is Modine’s broadly applicable short-term, performance cash award plan designed to motivate and reward the Company’s leaders. The MIP, during fiscal 2010, rewarded compliance with two financial covenants in the Company’s debt agreements: Adjusted EBITDA of more than $35 million and capital expenditures of no more than $70 million. The ONC Committee made awards under the MIP contingent upon compliance with these covenants because such actions were, and continue to be, critical to the success of the Company and because MIP participants are most responsible for achievement of the plan metrics. During fiscal 2010, all NEOs participated in the MIP.
For fiscal 2010, the ONC Committee determined that if the financial covenants described above were met, the Company would pay a bonus under the MIP at the Target payout level used in fiscal 2009 and, if they were not met, the Company would not pay a MIP bonus. The MIP for fiscal 2010 did not have a Threshold or Maximum payout level as it had in prior years. The Company met the above-described financial covenants for fiscal 2010 and paid all participants in the MIP at the Target level. The Company did not make a payment to Mr. Richardson under the MIP for fiscal 2010 because he resigned his position with the Company prior to the end of the fiscal year.
The MIP payments are set as a percentage of salary and the NEO’s MIP levels were as follows:

Equity Incentives - Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The long-term incentive element of the Company’s executive compensation program is used to attract, retain and motivate key employees who directly impact the performance of the Company over a timeframe greater than a year. Long-term compensation is stock-based so that Modine’s stock price directly affects the amount of compensation the executive receives.
In May 2009, the ONC Committee determined that use of a performance stock award plan would be suspended for fiscal 2010 because of the significant uncertainty in the economic climate for the industrial sector. The ONC Committee determined that it could not set realistic targets for the next three fiscal years as the plans had historically been structured. As a result, the ONC Committee resolved to eliminate any new grants of performance stock awards during fiscal 2010 and to reevaluate the program in the coming year.
Given the Company’s relatively low stock price at the time of grant, the ONC Committee abandoned the monetary valuation for equity awards for fiscal 2010 and, instead, used share count as the reference for the amount of the awards. The low stock price would have resulted in dramatically larger grants and a potential windfall to the plan participants in the event of even a modest recovery in the Company’s stock price. The ONC Committee made awards of restricted stock and grants of stock options to participants in the long-term incentive plan, in the aggregate, in an amount up to 2.5 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The ONC Committee determined that dilution of up to 2.5 percent was in keeping with the dilution values of prior Long-Term Incentive plans and provided an appropriate incentive level without undue dilution of shareholder value. The ONC Committee determined the number of shares each executive officer would receive under this plan and then granted 20 percent of the award as restricted shares and 80 percent of the award as stock options. The ONC Committee weighted the award more heavily in stock options because it believes that stock options focus executives on driving long-term performance and a resulting increase in stock price that enhances return for shareholders and the value of the incentive. The Company’s stock options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the effective date of the grant. For NEOs, 25 percent of the stock options granted in fiscal 2010 vested on the date of grant and 25 percent then vest each year in three annual installments thereafter. The stock options expire ten years from the effective date of the grant. Retention restricted stock awards reward employees for their continued commitment to the Company. The ONC Committee was concerned about retention of senior management and resolved to continue to provide an incentive to stay with the Company through the award of retention restricted stock at a meaningful level for the employees. The restrictions on the shares lapse on one-quarter of the shares each year over a period of four years.
The table below sets forth the number of shares subject to stock options and the number of shares of restricted stock issued to each NEO in fiscal 2010:

Prior to fiscal 2010, the ONC Committee made performance stock awards that were earned by achieving corporate financial goals over a three-year period. The amount of the award varied based upon the achievement of Threshold, Target or Maximum levels. Once earned, the performance stock awards are not subject to any restrictions. Determinations of the achievement of performance goals for the performance stock awards are not made until the Company’s audited financial statements covering the last year in the three-year performance period are completed. The Company historically used two measures to determine the payouts under these performance stock plans – earnings per share growth (“EPS”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”). At the end of fiscal 2010, two performance stock award plans were active, the plan initiated in May 2007 and the plan initiated in May 2008. Each of these plans was described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of prior proxy statements. After the end of fiscal 2010, the Company determined that it did not achieve either the EPS or the TSR levels set forth under the plan initiated in May 2007 and did not issue any performance stock awards under that plan. The plan initiated in May 2008 is still active and any payment under that plan will be determined after the end of fiscal 2011.
See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table below that contains estimates of future payouts of long-term compensation.
Retention Plan
In the face of the departure of two key members of management in the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the ONC Committee, knowing that the Performance Stock Award Plan would not achieve its Threshold level for fiscal 2009 performance and having doubt as to whether the MIP would achieve its Threshold level for fiscal 2009 performance, instituted a retention plan for members of the Company’s Executive Council to attempt to ensure the stability of the Company’s senior management team through the global recession. At that time, the Executive Council had 13 members, including all NEOs, other officers and certain other key employees. Under the retention plan, all members of the Executive Council, other than Mr. Burke who declined to participate in the retention plan, are paid a bonus in an amount equal to one year’s salary (as of April 1, 2009) in three equal installments in December 2009, October 2010 and April 2011 as long as they are employed by the Company on the payment dates.
The Company paid the first installment under the retention plan to the NEOs, other than Mr. Burke and Mr. Richardson, in December 2009 as follows: Mr. Feldmann – 96,903€ (the equivalent of $130,915 at March 31, 2010); Mr. Marry - $96,667; Mr. Bowser - $83,333; and Ms. Kelsey - $83,333. The Company did not pay any sum to Mr. Richardson under the retention plan because he resigned from the Company before the payment of the first installment.
When the ONC Committee originally instituted the retention plan, it determined that in the event a member of the Executive Council voluntarily terminated employment with the Company prior to April 2011, such individual would be contractually obligated to return all sums, net of taxes, paid by the Company to him or her under the retention plan. Upon reflection, the ONC Committee determined that the goal of the plan – retention of talented employees – was adequately served by making payments in installments. Therefore, the ONC Committee instructed the Company to eliminate the repayment feature from the retention plan in fiscal 2010.
Changes to Executive Compensation for Fiscal 2011
Peer Group
The ONC Committee directed Towers Watson to create a peer group for Modine consisting of public companies with revenues between $1 billion and $3 billion with an industrial, automotive, manufacturing and/or electrical components and equipment focus (the “Peer Group”). The Peer Group was determined after executive compensation measures were finalized for fiscal 2010 and was not used in connection with fiscal 2010 compensation decisions when salaries were frozen at fiscal 2009 levels. The ONC Committee did use Peer Group data in fiscal 2011 as a reference in setting Mr. Burke’s base salary for fiscal 2011 as discussed below.

CEO Compensation
The ONC Committee, with input from the Chairman, determined after the end of fiscal 2010 that Mr. Burke’s compensation was inadequate given his significant contribution to the Company. Mr. Burke chose not to participate in the retention plan described above and, like the other NEOs, did not receive a salary increase in fiscal 2010. The ONC Committee increased Mr. Burke’s salary from $627,750 to $722,000 effective on July 1, 2010. In addition, in June 2010, the ONC Committee granted Mr. Burke equity in the form of stock options and retention stock awards in an amount, in the aggregrate, equal to his increased annual salary. At this same time, the ONC Committee recommended that Mr. Burke’s long-term incentive plan Target level remain at 200 percent of this increased salary.
MIP Metrics
For fiscal 2011, the ONC Committee seeks to reward MIP participants for the Company’s achievement of broad financial goals. The ONC Committee, as a result, determined that the MIP metrics for fiscal 2011 will be achievement of certain adjusted operating margin and asset turnover targets. For fiscal 2011, the ONC Committee will again institute Threshold, Target and Maximum levels of payment under the MIP and any payments will depend upon the results of the Company as measured against specific adjusted operating margin and asset turnover targets.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
For fiscal 2011, the ONC Committee will return to the practice of setting equity grants as a percentage of base salary and will resume the use of performance stock awards as part of the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plan.
For fiscal 2011, the Company’s long-term incentive plan will include: stock options (20 percent of long-term incentive dollars at Target); retention restricted stock awards (20 percent of long-term incentive dollars at Target); and performance stock awards (60 percent of long-term incentive dollars at Target). Awards of performance stock will be earned by achieving corporate financial goals over a three-year period. Payout levels vary based upon the achievement of Threshold, Target or Maximum goals. Two measures will be used to determine performance stock awards – Adjusted EBITDA growth and return on average capital employed. Adjusted EBITDA growth will be weighted at 60 percent in determining the Target performance shares and return on capital employed will be weighted at 40 percent in determining the Target performance shares.
Employment and Post-Employment Benefits
General Benefits. The NEOs receive the same basic employee benefits that are offered by the Company to all salaried employees within the region where the individual resides. These benefits include medical and dental coverage, disability insurance and life insurance. The cost of these benefits is partially borne by the employee, including each NEO.
Perquisites. Until October 2008, the Company provided the NEOs with perquisites and other personal benefits as part of providing a competitive executive compensation program and for employee retention. Before they were eliminated, perquisites for executive officers resident in the U.S. included an annual allowance for financial and tax planning services; an annual physical at an off-site medical facility; and use of Modine fleet vehicles for occasional personal use.
In October 2008, the Company eliminated all of the above described out-of-pocket executive perquisites for U.S.-based employees. Mr. Feldmann receives the lease of a vehicle and a retirement supplement as provided for in his employment agreement as is customary in Germany. As noted in a footnote to the Summary Compensation Table, Messrs. Marry and Bowser received certain payments characterized as perquisites in fiscal 2010 in connection with expatriate assignments in China and Brazil, respectively.
Retirement Benefits for U.S. Employees.
The Company offers retirement benefits to its employees through tax-qualified plans, including an employee and employer funded Modine 401(k) Retirement Plan for U.S. Salaried Employees (the “401(k) Retirement Plan”). Under the 401(k) Retirement Plan, the Company contributes 50 percent of the amount contributed to the plan by the employee, subject to a maximum contribution of 2.5 percent of the employee’s pay, up to the maximum allowed by law. While the benefit is available to all of the Company’s full-time employees in the U.S., each individual participant’s 401(k) Retirement Plan balance may vary due to a combination of differing annual amounts contributed by the employee, the investment choices of the participant (the same investment choices are available to all participants in the plan) and the number of years the person has participated in the plan.
The Company has historically also made a contribution early in the calendar year to the 401(k) Retirement Plan equal to a certain percentage of base salary and bonus for each full-time U.S. salaried employee, including the NEOs (other than Mr. Feldmann). This defined contribution plan is a vehicle for retirement savings and was initiated after the Company froze the accumulation of credited service in its defined benefit pension plan. In February 2010, the Company contributed an amount equal to four percent of calendar 2009 salary for each full-time, U.S. salaried employee to this defined contribution plan. The percentage contributed was determined based upon the Board of Directors’ assessment of business performance balanced against the need to offer competitive benefits.
The Company’s defined benefit pension plan, which is frozen, is more fully described in the Pension Benefits Table below. Messrs. Richardson, Marry and Bowser and Ms. Kelsey participate in the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Mr. Burke joined the Company after the defined benefit pension plan was closed to new participants. Mr. Feldmann does not participate in the U.S. Company-sponsored pension plan because he is a citizen of Germany, but Mr. Feldmann’s employer provides a cash benefit of 5 percent of base salary to Mr. Feldmann to fund a retirement benefit.
In addition to the employee benefits applicable to U.S. employees in general, more highly compensated employees of Modine, including the NEOs (other than Mr. Feldmann) receive the following benefits:
Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows a highly compensated employee to defer salary but in no event may the deferral into the Deferred Compensation Plan exceed 10 percent of base salary. Salary deferred pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan is an asset of the Company. The committee administering the plan tracks performance as if the amounts deferred were invested in certain investment vehicles. The sums deferred do not earn a preferential rate of return. Payments out of the Deferred Compensation Plan are not made until termination of service or retirement. As part of the Company’s objective of restoring in this plan amounts that exceeded the allowable Company match in the 401(k) Retirement Plan because of statutory limits, the Company contributes an amount equal to the amount of the employer match that was not allowed to be contributed to the 401(k) Retirement Plan for such individual due to statutory limits.
Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP is a non-qualified pension plan. The SERP which, like the defined benefit pension plan, is frozen, is an extension of the Company’s qualified pension plan. Under the SERP, salary and bonus that are in excess of statutory limits are taken into account in determining non-qualified benefits payable to an employee.
Share Ownership Guidelines
Effective January 16, 2008, the board adopted share ownership guidelines for directors and officers of the Company, including the NEOs. The ONC Committee amended the guidelines on May 24, 2010 because the relatively low stock price has made compliance with the guidelines significantly more difficult. The guidelines are set forth in the Company’s Guidelines on Corporate Governance and are available on the Company’s website, www.modine.com. The board continues to believe that directors and officers should have a meaningful personal investment in the Company. Only shares of stock, either restricted or unrestricted, count toward compliance with the guidelines.
The guidelines continue to provide that by the fifth anniversary of appointment to the position, or 2013, whichever occurs later, the President and CEO is expected to hold shares of Company stock with a value of at least four times his annual base salary at the commencement of the five-year period. As amended, the guidelines now do not distinguish between named executive officers and other officers and provide that all officers, other than the President and CEO, are expected to hold shares of Company stock with a value of at least two times their annual base salary at the commencement of the five-year period. The stock value is determined by using the higher of the stock price at the time of measurement or the average stock price over the previous three years. The chair of the Nominating Committee evaluates whether an exception, if any, should be made for any officer, who, due to his or her unique financial circumstances or other extenuating circumstances, would incur a hardship by complying with the applicable guideline and, in such an event, may make an exception to the guidelines for such individual. Additionally, the guidelines may be temporarily waived for an officer who has an unusual personal circumstance or is approaching retirement and has a need to diversify his/her stock holdings.
Employment Agreements
The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Burke. Modine Holding GmbH, the Company’s subsidiary in Germany, has an employment agreement with Mr. Feldmann, as is customary in Germany. The Company also has change in control agreements with all of its other NEOs, its other officers and certain other key employees. The purpose of these agreements is to ensure continuity and, in the case of change in control provisions, the continued dedication of key employees during any period of uncertainty due to a change in control. See Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control below for additional information about these agreements.
As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of prior proxy statements, the Company had an employment agreement with Mr. Richardson, the Company’s former Executive Vice President – Corporate Strategy and CFO. Mr. Richardson and the Company agreed to terminate the employment agreement on November 13, 2009, the effective date of Mr. Richardson’s resignation from the Company.
Tax Implications for NEOs
The ONC Committee generally seeks to structure compensation amounts and arrangements so that they do not result in penalties for the NEOs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). For example, Section 409A of the Code imposes substantial penalties and results in the loss of any tax deferral for nonqualified deferred compensation that does not meet the requirements of that section. The ONC Committee has generally structured the elements of Modine’s compensation program so that they are either not characterized as nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A or meet the distribution, timing and other requirements of Section 409A. Without these steps, certain elements of compensation could result in substantial tax liability for the NEOs. Section 280G and related provisions of the Code impose substantial excise taxes on so-called “excess parachute payments” payable to certain executives upon a change in control and results in the loss of the compensation deductions for such payments by the executive’s employer. The ONC Committee has structured the change in control payment under its employment and change in control agreements with the NEOs (other than Mr. Feldmann who does not have a change in control agreement) to include a gross up for excise taxes imposed under Section 280G in order to preserve the after-tax value of those payments for those executives.
Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1,000,000 paid to a company's CEO and the other NEOs who are covered by Section 162(m). Qualifying performance-based compensation will not be subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met.
The ONC Committee believes that it is generally in the Company’s best interest to attempt to structure compensation amounts and plans in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 162(m). However, the ONC Committee also recognizes the need to retain flexibility to approve compensation amounts and plans that may not meet Section 162(m) standards in order to enable the Company to meet its overall objectives. Accordingly, the board and the ONC Committee have expressly reserved the authority to award non-deductible compensation in appropriate circumstances. Further, because of uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, no assurance can be given that compensation intended by the Company to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) will do so.
Officer Nomination and Compensation Committee Report
The ONC Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management; and, based on that review and discussion, the ONC Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s proxy statement and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

Compensation-Related Risk Assessment
At its meeting in October 2009, the ONC Committee, with Mr. Cooley, the Chair of the Audit Committee, in attendance, assessed each element of compensation – base salary; annual cash bonus; long-term incentives – as well as the retention plan and other plans covering employees in international locations to determine whether any of such elements or plans promote excessive or unreasonable risk-taking. Towers Watson, the ONC Committee’s compensation consultant, assisted in the assessment. The ONC Committee determined that the Company’s compensation policies and practices encourage behaviors that drive the performance of the Company as a whole and balance short-term results with longer-term results, again, in the interests of shareholders. The ONC Committee determined that any risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its shareholders.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the Company's Principal Executive Officer, former Principal Financial Officer, and the four most highly compensated executive officers, other than the Principal Executive Officer and former Principal Financial Officer, serving as executive officers as of March 31, 2010 for services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. Under SEC rules, information is provided for Mr. Richardson because he served as the Principal Financial Officer of the Company during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Mr. Richardson resigned from the Company on November 13, 2009. The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Burke Principal Financial Officer of the Company on May 25, 2010, after the end of fiscal 2010. In addition, under SEC rules, information is provided for Mr. Marry and Ms. Kelsey for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 only and Mr. Bowser for fiscal 2010 only.
