INFORMATION

On
March 9, 2005, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board
of Directors of Churchill Downs Incorporated (the “Company”) took the
following actions relating to executive compensation.
|
|
The
Committee approved performance goals of the Chief Executive Officer
and
the Company’s other “named executive officers” (as defined by Item
402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K) established for participation in the
Amended
and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (1997) (the “Plan”) for the
calendar year 2005. For each named executive officer other than the
Chief
Executive Officer, the Committee established a target individual
payout
percentage ranging from 40% to 60% of base salary. The Chief Executive
Officer’s target individual payout was established at 100% of base salary.
The awards under the Plan are based on the calculation of three
components: Company performance in the area of earnings before taxes,
unit
performance and individual performance to pre-set individual goals.
The
Board of Directors recommended the goals for the Chief Executive
Officer
to the shareholders of the Company who approved them at the Annual
Meeting
of Shareholders held on June 16, 2005 so that any compensation paid
under
the Plan would qualify as performance-based compensation under Internal
Revenue Code Section 162(m) and allow the Company to take a tax deduction
in the amount of the bonus paid. Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee
retains discretion to exclude certain extraordinary items from the
calculation of the Company’s performance.
|
|
The
Committee also approved the payout of cash bonuses for 2004 to the
Company’s named executive officers. The Committee exercised its discretion
to exclude certain extraordinary items from the calculation of the
Company’s performance and approved the following cash bonuses to be paid
to the Company’s named executive officers: Mr. Meeker, $121,633; Mr.
Miller, $54,873; Mr. Sexton, $55,968; Mr. Baedeker, $30,978; and
Mr.
Goodrich, $59,529.
