Former CEO Esrey earned 2.28 million in 2002. Shareholders filed four proposals including performance based option grants and a CEO pay cap. A union pension plan urged linking option exercise price to a peer group index. The board opposes the linked plan, citing flexibility and attraction of talent concerns.
