Note: Puishys, who became president and CEO on Aug. 22, 2011, earned a $1.2 million bonus as the maker of architectural glass, framing systems and architectural services exceeded its revenue, earnings and working capital performance targets for the year. The company's revenue increased 6 percent for the year to $700.2 million, and earnings per share from continuing operations increased to 66 cents compared with 17 cents the previous year.

To make compensation more transparent to shareholders, the glass company's proxy statement this year and last included a table of the best executive compensation practices. For example, it has adopted stringent share ownership guidelines for executives, and its severance agreements do not reimburse for excise taxes.

Puishys did not get stock options. Instead his long-term incentive compensation is comprised of time-based restricted stock and two-year, cash-based performance awards. The company recorded an expense of $500,004 for his long-term equity awards last year.
