Information About the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials:
Again this year, instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials, including our Annual Report, to each shareholder of record, we have decided to provide access to these materials in a fast and efficient manner via the Internet. This reduces the amount of paper necessary to produce these materials, as well as the costs associated with mailing these materials to all shareholders. On August 28, 2009, we began mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) to all shareholders of record as of August 14, 2009, and posted our proxy materials on the website referenced in the Notice (www.proxyvote.com). As more fully described in the Notice, all shareholders may choose to access our proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or may request to receive a printed set of our proxy materials. In addition, the Notice and website provide information regarding how you may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. For those who previously requested printed proxy materials or electronic materials on an ongoing basis, you will receive those materials as you requested.
Householding Information:
We have adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) called householding. Under this procedure, shareholders of record who have the same address and last name and have not previously requested electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive a single envelope containing the Notices for all shareholders having that address. The Notice for each shareholder will include that shareholders unique control number needed to vote his or her shares. This procedure reduces our printing costs and postage fees.
If, in the future, you do not wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive your Notice in a separate envelope, please call us toll-free at 1-800-742-6253 in the U.S., or inform us in writing at: The Procter & Gamble Company, Shareholder Services, P.O. Box 5572, Cincinnati, OH 45201-5572, or by email at shareholders.im@pg.com. We will respond promptly to such requests.
For those shareholders who have the same address and last name and who request to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail, we will send only one copy of such materials to each address unless one or more of those shareholders notifies us, in the same manner described above, that they wish to receive a printed copy for each shareholder at that address.
Beneficial shareholders can request information about householding from their banks, brokers or other holders of record.
Proxy Voting:
Your vote is important. Please vote your proxy promptly so your shares can be represented, even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You can vote by Internet, by telephone, or by requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials and using the enclosed proxy card.
Our proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, must receive any proxy that will not be delivered in person to the annual meeting by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, October 12, 2009.
By order of the Board of Directors, |
STEVEN W. JEMISON Chief Legal Officer and Secretary |

Voting Procedures
Election of DirectorsEach of the twelve nominees for Director who receive a majority of votes cast will be elected as a member of the Board of Directors. A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares cast for a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast against that nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect. Pursuant to the By Laws of the Board of Directors, if a non-incumbent nominee for Director receives a greater number of votes cast against than votes cast for such nominee, such nominee shall not be elected as a member of the Board of Directors. Any incumbent nominee for Director who receives a greater number of votes cast against than votes cast for such nominee shall continue to serve on the Board pursuant to Ohio law, but shall immediately tender his or her resignation as a Director to the Board of Directors. Within 90 days, the Board will decide, after taking into account the recommendation of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee (in each case excluding the nominee in question), whether to accept the resignation. Absent a compelling reason for the Director to remain on the Board, the Board of Directors shall accept the resignation. The Boards explanation of its decision shall be promptly disclosed on a Form 8-K submitted to the SEC.
Board Proposal to amend the Companys Code of RegulationsThe affirmative vote of a majority of the Companys issued and outstanding shares is required for adoption. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as votes against these proposals.
Board Proposal to approve The Procter & Gamble 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation PlanThe affirmative vote of a majority of shares participating in the voting on this proposal is required for adoption. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as participating in the voting, and will therefore have no effect.
Other ProposalsThe affirmative vote of a majority of shares participating in the voting on each proposal is required for adoption. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as participating in the voting, and will therefore have no effect.

We will reimburse their expenses for doing this.

All Directors served on the respective Committees listed above, including Committee Chairs, for the Companys entire fiscal year, with the exception of Dr. Zedillo, who was appointed Chair of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee at the February 10, 2009 Board of Directors meeting, following the resignation of Ms. Margaret C. Whitman from the Board effective December 31, 2008. From July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, Ms. Whitman served as a member of the Board of Directors, Chair of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee and as a member of the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee.
The Companys Committee Charter Appendix applies to all Committees and can be found in the corporate governance section of the Companys website at www.pg.com/investors.
The Audit Committee met nine times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 to carry out its responsibilities under its charter. At all of these meetings, representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, and financial management were present to review accounting, control, auditing and financial reporting matters. During these meetings, the Committee held five sessions where only representatives of Deloitte & Touche, LLP were present and five sessions with only the Companys Vice President of Internal Audit present. All members of the Committee are independent under the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards and the Board of Directors Guidelines for Determining the Independence of its Members (the Independence Guidelines, which can be found in the corporate governance section of the Companys website at www.pg.com/investors). The Audit Committee has the responsibilities set forth in its charter with respect to the quality and integrity of the Companys financial statements; the Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; the Companys overall risk management process; the independent registered public accounting firms qualifications and independence; the performance of the Companys internal audit function and the independent registered public accounting firm; preparing the annual Report of the Audit Committee to be included in the Companys proxy statement; and assisting the Board of Directors and the Company in interpreting and applying the Companys Worldwide Business Conduct Manual. In addition to these responsibilities, during fiscal year 2008-09, in response to actions taken by external regulatory authorities, the Company launched an internal investigation into potential violations of competition laws in Europe, and the Board assigned the Committee responsibility for the oversight of that investigation. In that capacity, the Committee met four additional times to discuss and review the Companys internal investigation, as well as the external investigations, during which it held four sessions where no members of management were present. The Audit Committees charter can be found in the corporate governance section of the Companys website at www.pg.com/investors and is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit A.
The Compensation & Leadership Development Committee met six times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, during which it held five executive sessions with no member of management present. All members of this Committee are independent under the NYSE listing standards and the Independence Guidelines. The Compensation & Leadership Development Committee has a charter, under which it has full authority and responsibility for the Companys overall compensation policies, their specific application to principal officers elected by the Board of Directors (including review and evaluation of their compensation) and the compensation of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors. This Committee also assists the Board in the leadership development and evaluation of principal officers. As a practical matter, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Committee regarding the compensation elements of the principal officers (other than his own compensation) based on Company performance, individual performance and input from Company management and the Committees independent compensation consultant. All final decisions regarding compensation for principal officers are made by this Committee. For more details regarding principal officer compensation or this Committees process for making decisions regarding the compensation of principal officers, please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement found on pages [] to [ ]. This Committee also approves all stock-based equity grants made under The Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and
9
Incentive Compensation Plan and The Gillette Company 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan to non-principal officers. This Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to make equity grants to non-principal officers and determine the specific terms and conditions of such grants within the guidelines set forth by the Committee. This Committee retains an independent compensation consultant, hired directly by the Committee, to advise it regarding executive compensation matters. For more details on this arrangement, please see the section entitled How is competitiveness established for executive compensation? found on page [] of this proxy statement. The Compensation & Leadership Development Committees charter can be found in the corporate governance section of the Companys website at www.pg.com/investors.
The Governance & Public Responsibility Committee met five times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. All members of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee are independent under the NYSE listing standards and the Independence Guidelines. The Governance & Public Responsibility Committee has the responsibilities set forth in its charter with respect to identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors; recommending when new members should be added to the Board; recommending individuals to fill vacant Board positions; recommending the Director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders; recommending to the Board whether to accept the resignation of any Director nominee who received a greater number of against votes than for votes in a non-contested election; periodically developing and recommending updates to the Boards Corporate Governance Guidelines; other issues related to Director governance and ethics; evaluation of the Board of Directors and its members; reviewing plans and making recommendations to the Board on the Companys corporate sustainability efforts (including environmental quality, economic development and corporate social responsibility); and overseeing matters of importance to the Company and its stakeholders, including employees, consumers, customers, suppliers, shareholders, governments, local communities and the general public. Public responsibility topics considered by this Committee include organization diversity, sustainable development, community and government relations, product quality and quality assurance systems and corporate reputation. The Governance & Public Responsibility Committees charter can be found in the corporate governance section of the Companys website at www.pg.com/investors.
The Innovation & Technology Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The Innovation & Technology Committee has the responsibilities set forth in its charter with respect to overseeing and providing counsel on matters of innovation and technology. Topics considered by this Committee include the Companys approach to technical and commercial innovation; the innovation and technology acquisition process; and tracking systems important to successful innovation. The Innovation & Technology Committees charter can be found in the corporate governance section of the Companys website at www.pg.com/investors.
Board and Committee Meeting Attendance
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Board of Directors held seven meetings and the Committees of the Board of Directors held 26 meetings for a total of 33 meetings. Average attendance at these meetings by members of the Board during the past year exceeded 95%. All Directors attended greater than 88% of the meetings of the Board and the Committees on which they serve, except for Mr. Cook, who was only able to attend 73% of the meetings due to prior commitments.

Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to set forth its commitments and guiding principles concerning overall governance practices. These guidelines can be found in the corporate governance section of the Companys website at www.pg.com/investors.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that the following Directors are independent under the NYSE listing standards and the Independence Guidelines because they have either no relationship with the Company (other than being a Director and shareholder of the Company) or only immaterial relationships with the Company: Kenneth I. Chenault, Scott D. Cook, Rajat K. Gupta, Charles R. Lee, Lynn M. Martin, W. James McNerney, Jr., Ralph Snyderman, Patricia A. Woertz and Ernesto Zedillo. In addition, Ms. Whitman was independent during the period in which she served as Director. As noted previously, all members of the Boards Audit, Compensation & Leadership Development, and Governance & Public Responsibility Committees are independent.
In making these independence determinations, the Board applied the NYSE listing standards and the categorical independence standards contained in the Independence Guidelines. Under the Independence Guidelines, certain relationships were considered immaterial and, therefore, were not considered by the Board in determining independence but were reported to the Chair of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee. Applying the NYSE listing standards and the Independence Guidelines, the Board determined that there are no transactions, relationships or arrangements that would impair the independence or judgment of any of the directors deemed independent by the Board.
Effective July 1, 2009, Mr. Lafley moved full-time into the role of Chairman of the Board and Mr. McDonald was elected President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As such, they cannot be deemed independent under the NYSE listing standards and the Independence Guidelines. Mr. Rodgers is the President and CEO of TV One, LLC, a cable television network. The Board has declared Mr. Rodgers not independent under the Independence Guidelines, which contain a three-year look-back provision, because during 2006, the Company paid TV One, LLC for advertising time in an amount that exceeded 2% of TV One, LLCs gross revenue for that year.
Code of Ethics
For a number of years, the Company has had a code of ethics for its employees. The most recent version of this code of ethics, which is consistent with SEC regulations and NYSE listing standards, is contained in the Worldwide Business Conduct Manual, which applies to all of the Companys employees, officers and Directors, and is available on the Companys website at www.pg.com. The Worldwide Business Conduct Manual is firmly rooted in the Companys long-standing Purpose, Values and Principles, which can also be found on the Companys website at www.pg.com. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company continued its deployment of the Worldwide Business Conduct Manual throughout the Company in 29 different languages, including online training.
Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons
The Companys Worldwide Business Conduct Manual requires that all employees and Directors disclose all potential conflicts of interest and promptly take actions to eliminate any such conflict when the Company requests. In addition, the Company has adopted a written Related Person Transaction Policy that prohibits any of the Companys executive officers, Directors or any of their immediate family members from entering into a transaction with the Company, except in accordance with the policy.
11
Under our Related Person Transaction Policy, the Chief Legal Officer is charged with primary responsibility for determining whether, based on the facts and circumstances, a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in a proposed transaction. To assist the Chief Legal Officer in making this determination, the policy sets forth certain categories of transactions that are deemed not to involve a direct or indirect material interest on behalf of the related person. If, after applying these categorical standards and weighing all of the facts and circumstances, the Chief Legal Officer determines that the related person would have a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction, the Chief Legal Officer must present the proposed transaction to the Audit Committee for review or, if impracticable under the circumstances, to the Chair of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must then either approve or reject the transaction in accordance with the terms of the policy. In the course of making this determination, the Audit Committee shall consider all relevant information available to it and, as appropriate, must take into consideration the following:
| Whether the proposed transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business of the Company; |
| Whether the proposed transaction was initiated by the Company or the related person; |
| Whether the proposed transaction contains terms no less favorable to the Company than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party; |
| The purpose of, and the potential benefits to the Company of, the proposed transaction; |
| The approximate dollar value of the proposed transaction, particularly as it involves the related person; |
| The related persons interest in the proposed transaction; and |

Mr. Jon R. Moeller, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, is married to Lisa Sauer, a long-tenured employee of the Company who currently holds the position of ManagerGlobal Product Supply, Purchases, Organic Materials. Her total compensation in the last year was approximately [], consisting of salary, bonus, equity grants and retirement benefits. Her compensation is consistent with the Companys overall compensation principles based on her years of experience, performance and position within the Company. Prior to Mr. Moeller becoming Chief Financial Officer, the Audit Committee approved the continued employment of Ms. Sauer with the Company under the Companys Related Person Transaction Policy, concluding that her continued employment was not inconsistent with the best interests of the Company as a whole.
Other than as noted above, there were no transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a participant, the amount involved exceeded $120,000, and any Director, Director nominee, executive officer or any of their immediate family members had a direct or indirect material interest reportable under applicable SEC rules or that required approval of the Audit Committee under the Companys Related Person Transaction Policy.

Presiding Director and Executive Sessions
After consultation with the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee, the non-employee members of the Board of Directors reappointed W. James McNerney, Jr. to serve as the Presiding Director for fiscal year 2009 -10. Mr. McNerney began his service as Presiding Director on August 14, 2007. The Presiding Director acts as the key Board liaison with the Chief Executive Officer, assists in setting the Board agenda, chairs the executive sessions of the Board and communicates the Board of Directors feedback to the Chief Executive Officer.
The non-employee members of the Board of Directors met six times during fiscal year 2008-09 in executive session (without the presence of employee Directors or other employees of the Company) to discuss various matters related to the oversight of the Company, the management of Board affairs, succession planning for the Companys top management (including the Chief Executive Officer position), and the Chief Executive Officers performance. It also met in semi-executive session (with the Chief Executive Officer present for portions of the discussion) on five occasions.
Communication with Directors and Executive Officers
Shareholders and others who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or any particular Director, including the Presiding Director, or with any executive officer of the Company, may do so by writing to the following address:
[Name of Director(s)/Executive Officer or Board of Directors]
The Procter & Gamble Company
c/o Secretary
One Procter & Gamble Plaza
Cincinnati, OH 45202-3315
All such correspondence is reviewed by the Secretarys office, which logs the material for tracking purposes. The Board of Directors has asked the Secretarys office to forward to the appropriate Director(s) all correspondence, except for items unrelated to the functions of the Board of Directors, business solicitations, advertisements and materials that are profane.
Availability of Corporate Governance Documents
In addition to their availability on the Companys website at www.pg.com, copies of all Committee Charters, the Committee Charter Appendix, the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Independence Guidelines, the Worldwide Business Conduct Manual, the Companys Purpose, Values and Principles and the Related Person Transaction Policy are available in print upon request by writing to the Company Secretary at One Procter & Gamble Plaza, Cincinnati, OH 45202-3315.
Shareholder Recommendations of Board Nominees and Committee Process for Recommending Board Nominees
The Governance & Public Responsibility Committee will consider shareholder recommendations for candidates for the Board, which should be submitted to:
Chair of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee
The Procter & Gamble Company
c/o Secretary
One Procter & Gamble Plaza
Cincinnati, OH 45202-3315
Shareholder recommendations should include the name of the candidate, as well as relevant biographical information. The minimum qualifications and preferred specific qualities and skills required for Directors are set forth in Article II, Sections B through E of the Boards Corporate Governance Guidelines.
13
The Committee considers all candidates using these criteria, regardless of the source of the recommendation. The Committees process for evaluating candidates includes the considerations set forth in Article II, Section B of the Committees Charter. After initial screening for minimum qualifications, the Committee determines appropriate next steps, including requests for additional information, reference checks and interviews with potential candidates. In addition to shareholder recommendations, the Committee also relies on recommendations from current Directors, Company personnel and others. From time to time, the Committee may engage the services of outside search firms to help identify candidates. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, no such engagement existed (and none currently exists), and no funds were paid to outside parties in connection with the identification of nominees. All nominees for election as Directors who currently serve on the Board are known to the Committee and were recommended by the Committee to the Board as Director nominees.
Annual Meeting Attendance
The Boards expectation is that all its members attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All Directors, except Scott D. Cook who was unavailable due to personal reasons, attended the 2008 annual meeting.
Director Compensation
The following table and footnotes provide information regarding the compensation paid to the Companys non-employee Directors in fiscal year 2008-09. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no compensation for their services as Directors.

1 | The Committee Chair Fee for Ms. Whitman, who was Chair of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee until her resignation from the Board on December 31, 2008, was prorated for July through December 2008. The Committee Chair Fee for Dr. Zedillo, who was named Chair of the Governance & Public Responsibility Committee at the Board of Directors meeting on February 10, 2009, was prorated for February through June 2009. |
2 | This grant date fair value of the restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded is recognized in the fiscal year for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, as revised (SFAS 123(R)). Because Ms. Whitman resigned from the Board effective December 31, 2008, she forfeited her 2008 award in accordance with the terms of The Procter & Gamble 2003 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan. As of the end of fiscal year 2008-09: |
a. | Mr. Chenault has 3,433 unvested stock awards outstanding. |
b. | Mr. Cook has 16,587 unvested stock awards outstanding and 10,674 option awards outstanding. |
14
c. | Mr. Gupta has 3,835 unvested stock awards outstanding. |
d. | Mr. Lee has 36,909 unvested stock awards outstanding and 16,712 option awards outstanding. |
e. | Ms. Martin has 18,878 unvested stock awards outstanding and 16,712 option awards outstanding. |
f. | Mr. McNerney has 16,708 unvested stock awards outstanding. |
g. | Mr. Rodgers has 21,306 unvested stock awards outstanding and 6,644 option awards outstanding. |
h. | Dr. Snyderman has 37,188 unvested stock awards outstanding and 16,712 option awards outstanding. |
i. | Ms. Whitman has 10,740 unvested stock awards outstanding. |
j. | Ms. Woertz has 1,996 unvested stock awards outstanding. |
k. | Dr. Zedillo has 16,188 unvested stock awards outstanding and 6,644 option awards outstanding. |
Unvested stock awards include RSUs that have not yet delivered in shares and restricted stock for which the restrictions have not lapsed. RSUs earn dividend equivalents which are accrued in the form of additional RSUs each quarter and credited to each Directors holdings. These RSUs have the same vesting restrictions as the underlying RSUs and are ultimately deliverable in shares. Restricted stock earns cash dividends that are paid quarterly.
3 | The All Other Compensation total includes certain costs associated with Directors and their guests (spouse, family member or similar guest) attending Board meetings and/or Board activities. For the December 2008 Board meeting, each Director was encouraged to bring a guest. The Company incurred costs associated with providing a minor commemorative item to the Directors and certain activities for their accompanying guests. For all other regular Board meetings throughout the fiscal year, Directors were entitled to bring a guest so long as the Director used the Company aircraft to attend the meeting and the guests attendance did not result in any incremental aircraft costs. Directors and their guests are also covered under the same insurance policy as all Company employees for accidental death while traveling on Company business (coverage is $750,000 for each Director and $300,000 for a guest). There is no incremental cost to the Company for this benefit. In addition, the Company maintains a Charitable Awards Program for current and retired Directors who were participants prior to July 1, 2003. Under this program, at their death, the Company donates $1,000,000 per Director to up to five qualifying charitable organizations selected by each Director. Directors derive no financial benefit from the program because the charitable deductions accrue solely to the Company. The Company funds this contribution from general corporate assets and made no payments during fiscal year 2008-09. This program was discontinued for any new Director effective July 1, 2003. |
4 | Mr. Chenault took his fees for the first half of the fiscal year in cash, and for the second half of the fiscal year in retirement restricted stock, which had a grant date fair value of $70,000. |
5 | Mr. Cook took his fees for the first half of the fiscal year in unrestricted stock which had a grant date fair value of $56,000 and for the second half of the fiscal year in retirement restricted stock, which had a grant date fair value of $56,000. |
6 | Mr. McNerney took all of his fees for fiscal year 2008-09 in unrestricted stock, which had a grant date fair value of $132,000. |
7 | Mr. Rodgers took 25% of his fees for fiscal year 2008-09 in cash and 75% of his fees for fiscal year 2008-09 in retirement restricted stock, which had a grant date fair value of $78,000. |
8 | Dr. Snyderman took his fees for the first half of the fiscal year as retirement restricted stock which had a grant date fair value of $69,000 and for the second half of the fiscal year in cash. |
9 | Dr. Zedillo took 50% of his retainer as cash and 50% of his retainer as retirement restricted stock, and 100% of his committee fees as cash. The retirement restricted stock had a grant date fair value of $50,000. |
The objective of the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee of the Board of Directors is to provide non-employee members of the Board of Directors a compensation package consistent with the median of the Peer Group (as this group is further described on page [] of this proxy statement). In fiscal year 2008-09, non-employee members of the Board of Directors received the following compensation:
| A grant of restricted stock units (RSUs) on October 14, 2008, following election to the Board at the Companys 2008 annual meeting of shareholders, with a grant date fair value of $125,000. These units are forfeitable if the Director resigns during the year, will not deliver in shares until at least one year after the Director leaves the Board, and cannot be sold or traded until delivered in shares, thus encouraging alignment with the Companys long-term interests and the interests of shareholders. These RSUs earn dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends paid to shareholders; |
| An annual retainer fee of $100,000 paid in quarterly increments; |
| A committee meeting fee of $2,000 for every Committee meeting attended; and |
| An additional annual retainer paid to the Chair of each committee as follows: Chair of the Audit Committee, $15,000; Chairs of the Compensation & Leadership Development, Governance & Public Responsibility and Innovation & Technology Committees, $10,000. |
15
Directors can elect to receive any part of their fees or retainer (other than the grant of RSUs) as cash, retirement restricted stock, or unrestricted stock. The Company did not grant any stock options to Directors in fiscal year 2008-09.
Non-employee members of the Board of Directors must own Company stock and/or RSUs worth six times their annual cash retainer. Except for Mr. Gupta, who was appointed in June 2007, Ms. Woertz, who was appointed in January 2008, and Mr. Chenault, who was appointed in April 2008, all non-employee Directors have already achieved this ownership requirement. Ms. Woertz and Messrs. Gupta and Chenault are on track to achieve this goal within the five-year period established by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee for achieving this level of ownership.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Executive Summary
[]
What are the Companys overall compensation principles?
The Compensation & Leadership Development Committee designs and oversees the Companys compensation policies and approves compensation for all senior officers, including the Named Executive Officers. The Committee has established the following principles for compensating all Company employees:
| Support the business strategyWe align compensation programs with business strategies focused on long-term growth and creating value for shareholders. We motivate executives to overcome challenges, to deliver commitments and to exceed Company goals; |
| Pay for performanceWe pay higher compensation when goals are exceeded and lower compensation when goals are not met; and |
| Pay competitivelyWe set target compensation to be competitive with other multi-national corporations of similar size, value and complexity. |
These principles serve the Company well and enable us to deliver strong shareholder value over time. Application of these principles also ensures the development and retention of talented employees who are committed to the Companys long-term success.
What are the Companys executive compensation objectives?
The Committee established the following objectives to continue the Companys history of superior management and leadership:
| Drive superior business and financial performanceInspire executives to achieve or exceed Company, business unit and individual goals; |
| Focus on long-term successEnsure executives accountability for long-term success so the Company continues to provide superior returns for shareholders over time; |
| OwnershipAlign executives with shareholders long-term interests by building significant ownership of Company stock into executive pay programs; and |
| RetentionRetain talented executives with demonstrated records of superior performance whose continued employment is key to overall Company success. |
Who are the Companys Named Executive Officers?
The Companys Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2008-09 are: A.G. Lafley, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer; Jon R. Moeller, Chief Financial Officer; Robert A. McDonald, Chief Operating Officer; Werner Geissler, Vice ChairmanGlobal Operations; E. Dimitri Panayotopoulos, Vice ChairmanGlobal Household Care; Susan E. Arnold, former President, Global Business Units; and Clayton C. Daley, Jr., Vice Chairman and former Chief Financial Officer.
Effective July 1, 2009. Mr. Lafley stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and Mr. McDonald became President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Lafley will continue as Chairman of the Board.
Ms. Arnold and Mr. Daley were no longer executive officers of the Company at fiscal year-end and have announced their intention to retire. Since announcing their retirements, both have continued to report to Mr. Lafley, working on assignments and projects as required by Mr. Lafley.
17
Throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the compensation tables that follow, we will refer to the title of each Named Executive Officer in effect on the last day of the fiscal year, June 30, 2009.
What are the elements of the Companys executive compensation programs?
The Company achieves its executive compensation objectives through the following programs in which some or all of our Named Executive Officers participate. A more detailed discussion of each program is provided later in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
How do we assure that compensation keeps executives focused on long-term success?
For our employees, focus on the long-term success of the Company begins at hire and is built over careers which often span decades. Because P&G has a longstanding practice of building the organization from within, most employees spend their entire career at the Company. P&Gs people are a cornerstone of P&Gs success.
18
Employee stock ownership has long been an important aspect of the Companys culture of commitment to long-term success. William Cooper Procter established the Companys employee stock ownership plan in 1887, and today it is the oldest continuous profit sharing plan of its kind in the United States. For more than 120 years, this innovative plan has connected employees to the Companys long-term success. The Company makes annual contributions of P&G stock to the retirement accounts of all U.S.-based employees from the time that they complete their first two years of service until the end of their careers with P&G. Employees think and act like owners from the day they are hired until the day they retire. As a result, those who rise to the senior executive levels in the Company have been focused on the long-term success of the Company from the outsetand continue this focus as their equity-based compensation increases over time. Our Named Executive Officers have an average of almost 30 years of service at the Companylong-term careers during which these individualsfirst as employees, then as managers, then as senior executivesbuild shareholder value and benefit from the value they help to create. This is enhanced by talented employees who join the Company through acquisitions.
In addition to PST, the Company makes an annual grant of stock options and RSUs to the Companys key managers. These awards reinforce the executives focus on the long-term success of the Company by tying their personal success to that of other shareholders. Our key managers hold stock options for an average of eight years (five years beyond the vesting date) before they exercise. These behaviors reflect a culture that is focused on, and confident in, the long-term success of the Company.
Many companies use employment contracts for their top executives. Generally, the Committee believes these arrangements are not necessary for our executives because most have spent the majority of their professional careers with the Company, and have developed a focus on the Companys long-term success. Except in certain circumstances such as acquisitions, or where required by law in certain jurisdictions, the Company does not have any employment contracts with its executives. None of our current Named Executive Officers has an employment contract.
Ownership and Holding Requirements Focus on Long-Term Success
The Committee established the Executive Share Ownership Program and Stock Option Exercise Holding Requirement Policy to ensure that our most senior executives, including the Named Executive Officers, continue to own and hold a significant amount of Company stock. This aligns managements interests with shareholders interests and further focuses executives on the long-term success of the Company.
The Executive Share Ownership Program requires executives to own shares of Company stock and/or RSUs valued at eight times base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, and five times base salary for the other Named Executive Officers. The Committee reviews the holdings of our Named Executive Officers annually, and in 2009 they each exceeded these requirements with the exception of the newly appointed Chief Financial Officer, who is on track to meet these requirements. The Stock Option Exercise Holding Requirement Policy ensures executives remain focused on sustained shareholder value, even after exercising stock options. Under this policy, the Chief Executive Officer must hold the net shares received from stock option exercises for at least two years, and the other Named Executive Officers must hold such net shares for at least one year after exercise. This policy reinforces our executives focus on the long-term business and financial performance of the Company. Incentive plan awards that executives elect to take as stock options instead of cash or unrestricted stock are not subject to the holding requirement.
Finally, to further align our executives with the interests of our shareholders, the Companys Insider Trading Policy prohibits collars, short sales, hedging investments or other derivative transactions involving Company stock. Purchases and sales of Company stock by Named Executive Officers can only be made during the one-month period following public earnings announcements or, if outside these window periods, with express permission from the Companys Chief Legal Officer or in accordance with a
19
previously established trading plan that meets SEC requirements. Only Mr. Lafley currently has such a plan, which began in 2003 and is updated periodically, most recently in May 2007.
The Company Emphasizes Pay for Performance
Our long-term success depends on excellent financial and operational performance year after year. Therefore, the Committee ties approximately [] of our senior executives compensation to the achievement of short and long-term goals, taking into consideration the individuals impact on delivering those goals. If short-term and long-term financial and operational goals are not achieved, then performance-related compensation decreases. If goals are exceeded, then performance-related compensation increases.
Moreover, all compensation in the form of Company stock, RSUs or stock options changes in value with changes in the Companys stock price. Because such a large percentage of the Companys executive compensation is tied both to performance and to the Companys stock price, our executives have a significant stake in the long-term success of the Companyjust like other shareholders.
The chart below shows that []% of the Chief Executive Officers total compensation was performance-based and a full []% of his total compensation was paid in stock, RSUs or optionsforms of compensation tied to the Companys stock price. Since becoming Chief Executive Officer in 2000, Mr. Lafley has received 80% of his compensation in equity, and has not sold any of these shares (except those used to pay taxes). On average, []% of the other Named Executive Officers compensation was performance-based and []% of their total compensation was in stock, RSUs or stock options. Tying pay to the Companys and the individuals performance, as well as to the Companys stock price, motivates Company executives to drive superior business and financial performance for the long-term, while retaining talented executives and encouraging stock ownership.
20
How is competitiveness established for executive compensation?
The Committee structures executive compensation so that total targeted annual cash and long-term compensation opportunities are competitive with comparable positions at 25 companies considered to be our peers (based on criteria described below) (Peer Group). The Committee sets targets for each element of compensation based on the same elements of compensation paid to those holding similar jobs at companies in our Peer Group, focusing on positions with similar management and revenue responsibility. The Committee uses a regression analysis to adjust for the differences in revenue size within Peer Group companies.
The Peer Group consists of companies that generally meet the following criteria:
| Revenue comparable to the Company ($83 billion in fiscal year 2007-08) and/or market capitalization comparable to the Company (approximately $185 billion as of June 30, 2008); |
n | Peer group revenues range from $15 billion to $425 billion with a median of $61 billion; and |
n | Peer group market capitalization ranges from $20 billion to $328 billion with a median of $61 billion. |
| Compete with the Company in the marketplace for business and investment capital; |
| Compete with the Company for executive talent; and |
| Have generally similar pay models (we do not compare with financial services, insurance or utility companies where the mix of pay elements or program structure is materially different). |
The Committee evaluates and, if appropriate, updates the composition of the Peer Group each year to ensure it remains relevant and is not skewed by over-representation of any non-consumer products industry. Changes to the Peer Group are carefully considered and made infrequently to assure continuity from year to year. The Peer Group currently consists of the following companies:
3M Altria Group AT&T Boeing Chevron |
Coca-Cola Colgate-Palmolive ConocoPhillips Du Pont Exxon Mobil |
General Electric Hewlett-Packard Home Depot IBM Johnson & Johnson |
Kimberly-Clark Kraft Foods Lockheed Martin Merck PepsiCo |
Pfizer Target United Technologies Verizon Communications Wal-Mart Stores |
21
At its annual review in April 2009, the Committee replaced General Motors and Motorola with ConocoPhillips and United Technologies which better fit the Committees criteria for market capitalization and pay models.
While Named Executive Officers total compensation targets are set consistent with total compensation in our Peer Group, actual compensation varies depending on business unit and individual performance. This may result in substantial differences among the Named Executive Officers pay. Consistent with our principles to pay competitively and to pay for performance, the Committee does not set guidelines for the ratio of any one positions pay to another such as Chief Executive Officer pay relative to other Named Executive Officers.
The Committee has directed Frederic W. Cook & Co., its outside and independent compensation consultant, to advise it on various compensation matters, including peer group identification, competitive practices and trends, specific program design, and Committee actions with respect to principal officer compensation. Under the terms of its agreement with the Committee, Frederic W. Cook & Co. is prohibited from doing any other business for the Company or its management, and the Committee may contact Frederic W. Cook & Co. without any interaction from Company management. This is meant to ensure the independence of the Committees compensation consultant. Consistent with the terms of the Committees agreement with Frederic W. Cook & Co., the Committee has adopted a policy prohibiting any compensation consultant retained by the Committee from doing any other business for the Company or its management.
Company management uses a separate compensation consultant, Hewitt Associates, to provide compensation advice, competitive survey data and other benchmark information related to trends and competitive practices in executive compensation.
Details regarding each element of executive compensation
Annual Cash Compensation
The building blocks of the Companys annual cash compensation program are base salary and annual bonus (STAR). We collect and analyze data from the Peer Group on the total annual cash compensation (base salary plus annual bonus target) of positions comparable to those at the Company. For each position, we set a target amount for both base salary and STAR, where the STAR Target is the amount payable as a percentage of annual base salary if all goals are met. The sum of the base salary and STAR targets for each position is generally set at the median annual cash compensation of our Peer Group for each position, adjusted for size using a regression analysis of Peer Group revenues.
Base Salary
Base salary provides a competitive fixed rate of pay, recognizing different levels of responsibility within the Company. Salaries are the basis for the other performance-driven programs discussed below, as well as the basis for retirement programs, executive group life insurance and certain benefits available to all employees. [ ]
STAR Annual Bonus
The STAR bonus program provides an incentive for approximately 14,000 senior managers to achieve and exceed the annual business goals set for the business units and the Company as a whole. The program rewards outstanding business results and pays reduced awards when target business goals are not met. The program primarily focuses on the achievement of business unit results, as well as total Company performance. STAR Awards are paid in cash, RSUs, stock options or deferred compensation, at the executives election.
22
STAR Awards are based on three factors: 1) STAR Target; 2) business unit performance; and 3) total Company performance. By multiplying these factors, as shown in the formula below, both individual business unit and Company performance are recognized. The measures that determine each factor are discussed below. The STAR Award calculation is:

The basis for each element of the STAR Award is:
| STAR TargetSTAR Targets, expressed as a percentage of base salaries, are set by the Committee for Named Executive Officers based on the target bonus for similar positions at Peer Group companies. This year, based on an analysis of annual cash compensation and bonus targets at Peer Group companies, the Committee increased Mr. Lafleys STAR Target from 170% to 175% of base salary. Ms. Arnolds and Mr. McDonalds STAR Targets were increased from 115% to 125% of base salary. Mr. Daleys STAR Target remained flat versus the prior year at 115%, and Mr. Moellers STAR Target was 45% for the first six months of the fiscal year and with his promotion to Chief Financial Officer was set at 105% for the last six months of the fiscal year. Messrs. Geissler and Panayotopoulos had STAR Targets of 90%, consistent with the prior year. |
| Business Unit FactorTying STAR awards to business unit results motivates participants to help their business succeed. The Business Unit Factor determined for each business unit ranges from 53% to 167% (with a target level of 100%). The Business Unit Factor has a wider range and the greatest potential impact on the amount of the final award. The targets for each business unit vary, reflecting a variety of factors such as the different industries in which the Companys businesses compete, their competitive position within those industries and their growth potential. The targets are determined based on the long-term goals in relation to each business role in the Companys portfolio. The Committee carefully considers the metrics used to measure performance to minimize the risk of too much focus on one result to the detriment of building long-term shareholder value. Each Business Units performance against these targets is discussed and evaluated by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Global Human Resources Officer, who collectively make a recommendation for each Business Unit Factor to the Committee for review and approval. Each Business Unit Factor is determined by: |
n | Quantitative measurements of top-line growth in volume, sales and market share, and bottom-line measures of profit, operating cash flow and operating total shareholder return (a cash flow return on investment model that measures sales growth, earnings growth and cash flow to determine the rate of return that a business earns); and |

Fiscal Year 2008-09 Results: The table below summarizes: 1) the quantitative measures used to determine each Business Unit Factor, 2) the fiscal year results for those quantitative measures, and 3) the Business Unit Factor recommended to the Committee for each Named Executive Officer other than Messrs. Lafley, Moeller and McDonald.

* | Business Unit Factor Inputs also include an evaluation of other quantitative and qualitative measures as described above. |
| Total Company FactorBased on a numeric formula ranging from 80% to 130% (with a target level of 100%), this factor is determined by equally weighting two measures against targets predetermined by the Committee: 1) organic sales growth, and 2) earnings per share (EPS) growth. The Committee selected metrics that in combination encourage a balanced focus on both short and long-term results. |
Organic sales growth: Organic sales growth excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange. The Committee selected organic sales growth because it drives total shareholder return, is a tangible measure for which managers take ownership and is directly linked to the performance of each business. For fiscal year 2008-09, the target was 5%, which is at the midpoint of the Companys long-term goal of 4% to 6%.
EPS growth: This measure is used in the STAR calculation because it assures continued Company alignment with shareholder interests. The target for fiscal year 2008-09 was 10% diluted EPS growth, consistent with the Companys long-term goal.
Fiscal Year 2008-09 Results: Reported organic sales growth for the Company was []%, and EPS growth was []. These two results are equally weighted and, when entered into a formula previously approved by the Committee, derived a Total Company Factor of []%, which was [] the target of 100%.
The recommended STAR Awards for Ms. Arnold and Messrs. Geissler, Panayotopoulos and Daley were set using the multiplicative formula shown and described above. The recommendations for Ms. Arnold and Mr. Daley were based on []. The Committee reviews the recommendations for the Business Unit Factors and total STAR Award and considering Company performance results, determines final payments for these Named Executive Officers.
24
Because they evaluate and recommend Business Unit Factors for the other Named Executive Officers, the STAR Awards for Messrs. Lafley, Moeller and McDonald are determined separately and directly by the Committee. The Committee sets their awards after the range for all other STAR Awards is decided, taking into account []. The Committee retains the authority to make no award in a given year and the discretion to accept, modify, or reject managements recommendations for any or all employees, including the Named Executive Officers.
For fiscal year 2008-09, the combined STAR performance factors resulted in a Company average STAR Award of []% of STAR Target. The Committee concluded that Mr. Lafley should receive an award of [] based on []. Mr. Moellers award of [] was based on []. Based on [], Mr. McDonald received an award of [].

Summary of Total Annual Cash Compensation
The total annual cash compensation for each of our Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2008-09 is the sum of each officers base salary and STAR award and reflects his or her performance in a company of our size, scope and complexity. []
Long-Term Incentive Programs
Long-term incentive compensation comprises the majority of total compensation for executives and is paid through two programsthe Key Manager Annual Stock Grant and the BGP three-year incentive plan. The Committee establishes an annual target for total long-term compensation consistent with the median, total long-term compensation of comparable positions at Peer Group companies regressed for revenue size. It then allocates this overall target into a target for each of the two programs. BGP allocations are annualized based on salaries at the beginning of each BGP three-year cycle. The amounts allocated to the Key Manager program are established by subtracting these BGP allocations from the median total long-term compensation of similar positions in the Peer Group described above. Actual amounts earned depend upon Company and individual performance.
Key Manager Stock Grant
The Key Manager Stock Grant, which is paid in stock options and RSUs, focuses senior executives attention on the long-term performance of the Company and directly links executives interests to those of the shareholders. Stock options are not exercisable (do not vest) until three years from the grant and
25
expire ten years from the date of grant. RSUs deliver in shares five years from the date of grant. These restrictions enhance retention because employees who voluntarily resign from the Company during the specified periods prior to retirement forfeit their grants.
Once the Key Manager Grant target is established based on Peer Group competitive data, the Chief Executive Officer recommends specific grants to the Committee for Named Executive Officers based on their individual performance. These recommendations can be up to 50% above or 50% below target. In exceptional cases, no grant will be awarded. The Committee retains full authority to accept, modify or reject these recommendations.
For the 2008-09 fiscal year, the Committee awarded grants to the Named Executive Officers as follows: []. Named Executive Officers receive 50% of their respective award in stock options, and the remaining 50% may be taken in stock options or RSUs at the election of the Named Executive Officer.
The Committee determined Mr. Lafleys Key Manager Grant based on [ ]. Mr. Lafleys Key Manager Grant was awarded in 50% RSUs and 50% stock options.
Business Growth Program (BGP) Three-Year Incentive
BGP is the second component of the Companys long-term incentive compensation for its senior executives. It focuses executives on the long-term goals most critical to the overall success of the Company. BGP compensation is subject to the achievement of specific Company growth objectives over a three-year performance period. On June 30, 2008, the Companys current BGP program expired on its own terms. The Committee renewed BGP, incorporating the Companys current business objectives for the new three-year performance period beginning July 1, 2008 and ending on June 30, 2011 (Performance Period). In setting the performance metrics for the new Performance Period, the Committee took the metrics from the previous three-year programoperating total shareholder return and earnings per share growthand broke operating total shareholder return into the following: organic sales growth, before tax operating profit and free cash flow efficiency. Separating the combined measure makes each metric more visible to participants, allowing them to focus on delivering each of these important long-term goals.
The three-year BGP Awards are based on the Companys performance in each of the following four performance categories measured against the three-year performance goals established by the Committee at the beginning of the Performance Period:
Performance Category | Description | Three-Year Goal | ||
Organic Sales Growth |
Sales growth that excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange | 5% compound annual growth | ||
Before Tax Operating Profit |
Net sales, less the cost of product sold and less selling, general and administrative expense | 9% compound annual growth | ||
Free Cash Flow Efficiency |
Operating cash flow, less capital spending, divided by net earnings | 95% annually | ||
Diluted EPS Growth |
Diluted earnings per share growth | 10% compound annual growth |
Basing BGP Awards on these four metrics encourages sound business decisions for the long-term health of the Company and minimizes the risk that participants over-emphasize one success measure to the detriment of others.
26
At the end of the Performance Period, the Committee determines the Payout Factor for each performance category by comparing the Companys results to a sliding payout scale ranging from 0%-200%. By rewarding incremental improvements in Company results, as opposed to all or nothing three-year goals, this pay-out mechanism discourages the taking of unnecessary risks to ensure a Final Payment under the program. This aligns the interests of the Named Executive Officers with shareholders by encouraging participants to focus on the long-term performance of the Company over a multi-year period.
The target BGP award for the three-year performance period is six times base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and three times base salary for the other Named Executive Officers.
The payout formula for the BGP Award is:
1/4 of Target x Organic Sales Payout Factor |
+ | 1/4 of Target x Operating Profit Payout Factor |
+ |
1/4 of Target x Free Cash Flow Efficiency Payout Factor |
+ |
1/4 of Target x EPS Growth Payout Factor |
While the BGP payout formula is based on results at the end of the Performance Period, the Committee may make an Interim Payment at the end of year one for any performance category where Company results are on track to meet or exceed the three-year performance goals. At the end of year two, the Committee may make an Interim Payment for each performance category where the Companys cumulative results for years one and two are on track to meet or exceed the three-year performance goals. For Interim Payments, the Payout Factor for each performance category is 0% if results are not on track and 100% if results are on track to meet or exceed the three-year performance goals. The total amount of any Interim Payment is calculated using these Payout Factors (0% or 100%) in the payout formula above to obtain a total, and then by dividing this total by three (since any Interim Payment is based on annual performance against the three-year program). The Committee uses these interim payments to even out compensation when performance is on track.
At the end of the third year of the Performance Period, the Final Payment of the BGP Award will be calculated by inserting the applicable Payout Factors (from the 0%-200% payout scale) in the above payout formula to obtain a total, and then subtracting any Interim Payments made during the Performance Period from this total. In the unlikely event that total Interim Payments exceed the amount of the BGP Award Final Payment, the Committee will require repayment of any amount overpaid. The Committee may make adjustments for program participants who did not participate for the entire Performance Period and may make any necessary adjustments to the payments pursuant to program accounting guidelines. The Committee retains discretion to reduce or eliminate either Final or Interim Payments if it determines that such payments are inconsistent with shareholders best interests.
Any Interim Payment will be paid 75% in RSUs and 25% in cash to more closely align executives with shareholder interests during the Performance Period. Any Final Payment will be made in 100% cash. Participants may elect to receive RSUs or deferred compensation instead of cash. BGP RSUs deliver in shares on the day of the Final Payment if any. Paying a portion of BGP Awards in RSUs aligns participants with shareholder interests and promotes the retention of key top talent who will forfeit undelivered RSUs if they resign.

Summary of Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Our Named Executive Officers total long-term incentive compensation includes the Key Manager Stock Grant and any Interim or Final Payment amounts under the three-year BGP. The Committee considers the performance of these individuals in the context of the size and scope of the organization in which they lead. [ ]
Special Equity Awards
On rare occasions, the Committee makes special equity grants in the form of restricted stock or RSUs to senior executives to assure retention of the talent necessary to manage the Company successfully or to recognize superior performance. In 2008-09 the Committee awarded two special equity grants, in the form of RSUs, to recognize superior performance by Mr. Lafley and Mr. Daley in connection with one of the largest and most successful transactions in the Companys historythe acquisition and integration of The Gillette Company. Specifically, the Committee recognized Mr. Lafleys foresight for initiating the acquisition and his leadership throughout the acquisition and integration process by granting him a $3,500,000 award paid in RSUs on February 27, 2009. These RSUs are forfeitable until August 27, 2009 and will deliver in shares on February 27, 2012 unless deferred by Mr. Lafley. The Committee separately granted Mr. Daley a $1,500,000 award paid in RSUs on August 12, 2008, recognizing the integral role that he played in the valuation, negotiation and acquisition of Gillette as well as his role in the integration of Gillette into P&G. Mr. Daleys RSUs are forfeitable until August 12, 2010, although retirement prior to that date will not result in forfeiture. Unless Mr. Daley chooses to defer, the RSUs will deliver in shares on August 12, 2010.
28
Retirement Programs
PST is the Companys primary retirement program for U.S.-based employees. PST is a qualified defined contribution plan providing retirement benefits for full-time U.S. employees, including the Named Executive Officers. Under the PST program, each employees PST account receives an annual grant of Company stock, upon which dividends are earned. The amount of the stock grant varies based upon individual base salaries and years of service.
Some participants in PST (including the Named Executive Officers) do not receive their full grant due to federal tax limitations and participate in the nonqualified PST Restoration Program. These individuals receive RSUs equal to the difference between the amount granted under PST and what would have otherwise been granted under PST, but for the tax limitations. Participants are vested in their PST accounts after five years and their PST Restoration RSUs are forfeitable until they become eligible for retirement.
We are proud of the way PST and PST Restoration have created ownership at all levels of our Company. We believe these programs continue to serve the Company and its shareholders well by focusing employees on the long-term success of the business. We do not have Special Executive Retirement Programs (SERP) for our senior executives. Because the accumulation of retirement benefits for all other U.S. employees is dependent upon the Companys share price and PST contributions, we believe it is appropriate for the Named Executive Officers to share the same risk and reward.
For non U.S.-based employees, the Company offers individual country pension plans that provide retirement benefits. In addition, the Company offers the International Retirement Plan (IRP) and the Global International Retirement Arrangement which provide supplemental benefits to senior executives who work in multiple countries during their careers. Employees on extended expatriate assignments or who transfer out of their home country on a permanent basis also receive competitive retirement benefits under international retirement plans. Messrs. Geissler and Panayotopoulos participate in these programs.
Executive Benefits
The Company provides limited benefits to certain executives to fulfill particular business purposes. Benefits such as home security systems, secured workplace parking and an annual physical health examination are provided to safeguard Named Executive Officers. While Company aircraft are generally used for Company business only, for security reasons Mr. Lafley is required by the Board to use Company aircraft for all air travel, including personal travel. To increase executive efficiency, in limited circumstances, Named Executive Officers may travel to outside board meetings on Company aircraft, in which case the Company generally receives some reimbursement from the companies on whose boards our executives serve. In addition, if a Company aircraft flight is already scheduled for business purposes and can accommodate additional passengers, Named Executive Officers and their spouse/guests may join flights for personal travel. To the extent any travel on Company aircraft results in imputed income to the Named Executive Officer, the Company does not provide gross-up payments to cover the Named Executive Officers personal income tax due on such imputed income. We also reimburse Named Executive Officers for tax preparation and some financial counseling to focus their attention on Company business issues and assure accurate personal tax reporting. To remain competitive and retain our top executives, we offer executive group whole life insurance coverage (equal to base salary plus STAR Target). Finally, to further increase executive efficiency, we provide limited local transportation within Cincinnati.
In general, executive benefits make up a very small percentage of total compensation (less than 1%) for the Named Executive Officers. The Company does not gross-up payments to cover personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the executive benefits. The Committee reviews these arrangements regularly to assure they continue to fulfill business needs.

Total Compensation for Named Executive Officers
Given the Companys emphasis on stock-based compensation and because the SEC requires stock-based compensation to be reported based on what is expensed in our financial statements, we provide the table below to facilitate understanding of the actual compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers in the fiscal year. The table summarizes all compensation awarded to Named Executive Officers in the fiscal year and reconciles amounts shown in the table to amounts in the Summary Compensation Table that follows this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Inclusion of this table is not designed to replace the Summary Compensation Table, but rather to reflect the Committees decisions about compensation awarded to the Named Executive Officers during the fiscal year and to better illustrate the relationship between compensation and performance for the period reported.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation
Mr. Lafleys compensation is determined by the Committee using the same principles applied to all Company executives. The Committee works to make its process for assessing Mr. Lafleys performance rigorous and objective, with performance standards based on what is important to the Companys success. The entire process is supported by the Committees independent compensation consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., which does no other work for the Company.
Mr. Lafleys total compensation is linked directly to his personal performance and the Companys performance. Through STAR and BGP, his compensation is aligned with business strategies and focused on rewarding sustained, long-term growth in shareholder value. []
The Committee primarily considered the following factors in determining Mr. Lafleys short and long-term incentive compensation in fiscal year 2008-09:
| The Companys overall results for fiscal year 2008-09; |
| Mr. Lafleys individual performance during the year; |
| The compensation awarded to other chief executives in our Peer Group producing similar results; and |
30
| Our compensation principles and objectives as discussed on pages [] to [] of this proxy statement. |
In evaluating Mr. Lafleys individual performance, the Committee considered the results of Mr. Lafleys individual leadership and his focus on sustaining growth for the future of the Company, including: []
To gain further perspective on Mr. Lafleys total compensation, before making decisions on each element of his total compensation, the Committee reviews a summary of all elements of Mr. Lafleys total compensation, including base salary, STAR annual bonus, Key Manager Stock Grant, BGP three-year incentive award, any special equity award, unrealized gains from stock options, restricted stock and RSUs, and the cost to the Company of all retirement programs, benefits and executive benefits. Based on its review of this summary and in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, the Committee determined that [].
Additional Information
This additional information may assist the reader in better understanding the Companys compensation practices and principles.
Role of the Chief Executive Officer in Setting Other Named Executive Officers Compensation
The Committee has broad authority over the compensation of the Companys Named Executive Officers, including the review and evaluation of their total compensation. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Committee regarding the annual cash and long-term incentive compensation of the Companys Named Executive Officers (other than his own) based on Company performance, individual performance and input from the Companys compensation consultant and the Committees independent compensation consultant. All final decisions regarding compensation for Named Executive Officers are made by the Committee.
Tax Gross-Ups
Generally, the Company does not increase payments to any employees, including Named Executive Officers, to cover non-business-related personal income taxes. However, certain expatriate allowances, relocation reimbursements and tax equalization payments are made to employees assigned to work outside their home countries, and the Company will cover the personal income taxes due on these items in accordance with expatriate policy. In addition, from time to time, the Company may be required to pay personal income taxes for certain separating executives hired through acquisitions in conjunction with contractual obligations.
Governing Plans, Timing and Pricing of Stock-Based Grants
All grants of stock options, restricted stock and/or RSUs are made under The Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended) (2001 Plan) or The Gillette Company 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Gillette Plan). The 2001 Plan was approved by Company shareholders in 2001. The Gillette Plan was approved by Gillette shareholders in 2004 and adopted by the Company in 2005 as part of our merger with The Gillette Company.
With the exception of any Special Equity Awards discussed on page [], the Company grants stock, RSUs and stock options on dates that are consistent from year to year. If the Committee changes a grant date, it is done in advance and only after careful review and discussion. The Company has never repriced stock options and is not permitted to do so without prior shareholder approval.
31
We use the closing price of the Companys stock on the date of grant to determine the grant price for executive compensation awards. However, because PST uses the value of shares based on the average price of Company stock for the last five days in June, the grants of RSUs made under PST Restoration and IRP follow this same grant price practice. The pre-established grant dates for the programs are as follows: PST Restoration and IRP, first Thursday in August; STAR and BGP, last business day on or before September 15; Key Manager Stock Grants, last business day of February (and, if necessary for corrections, on the last business day on or before May 9).
Recoupment Policy
The Committee has adopted the Senior Executive Officer Recoupment Policy that permits the Company to recoup or claw back STAR or BGP payments made to executives in the event of a significant restatement of financial results for any reason. This authority is in addition to the Committees authority under the 2001 Plan to suspend or terminate any outstanding stock option if the Committee determines that the participant acted significantly contrary to the best interests of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Procter & Gamble Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan allows executives to defer receipt of up to 100% of their STAR annual bonus, up to 25% of their interim BGP payments and 100% of their final BGP payment, and/or up to 50% of their annual base salary. Beginning in 2008-09 executives may also elect to convert a portion of their PST Restoration RSUs into notional cash contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan with investment choices that mirror those available to all U.S. employees who participate in the Companys 401(k) plan. No above-market or preferential interest is credited on deferred compensation, as those terms are defined by the SEC.
Tax Treatment of Certain Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the Company deductibility of executive compensation paid to certain Named Executive Officers to $1,000,000 per year, but contains an exception for certain performance-based compensation.
For fiscal year 2008-09, awards granted under the STAR, Key Manager and BGP programs satisfied the performance-based requirements for deductible compensation. The Committee approved award pools for STAR and BGP based on net earnings with a maximum portion of each pool set for each of the Named Executive Officers subject to Section 162(m). The Committee then used its discretion to determine STAR Awards and BGP payments based on Company and business results. Each of the amounts approved for Named Executive Officers subject to Section 162(m) were below the maximums established, and are therefore deductible by the Company.
Company deductibility of compensation was taken into account by the Committee when setting compensation levels for current Named Executive Officers. While the Committees general policy is to preserve the deductibility of compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, the Committee nevertheless authorizes payments that might not be deductible if it believes they are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Committee determined that it was appropriate to pay Mr. Lafley a competitive base salary of [], although [] was not deductible by the Company. Named Executive Officers are eligible for certain grants that may not be deductible by the Company. In certain years, individuals may receive non-deductible payments resulting from awards made prior to becoming a Named Executive Officer.

Please see Note [] to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Companys 2009 Annual Report for more information. |
4 | Option Awards for fiscal year 2008-09 includes the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to fiscal year 2008-09, in accordance with SFAS 123(R). As described on page [] of this proxy statement, executives must remain employed for six months after the date of a Key Manager Annual Stock Grant in order to retain the award (retention period) and Key Manager option grants vest three years from the date of grant (vesting period). For retirement eligible executives, the fair value of the award is fully expensed over the retention period. For executives who become retirement eligible during the vesting period, the fair value of the award is expensed over the longer of the retention period or the period from the grant date until the date of retirement eligibility. For executives not yet retirement eligible and who will not become retirement eligible during the vesting period, the fair value is expensed over the vesting period. Where applicable, amounts expensed during fiscal year 2008-09 for grants made in prior years are also included in this column. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For additional information on the assumptions made in the valuation for the current year awards reflected in this column, please see Note [] to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Companys 2009 Annual Report. For information on the valuation assumptions with respect to grants made in prior fiscal years, please see the corresponding note to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Companys Annual Report in the respective fiscal year. Because Ms. Arnold and Messrs. Daley, Geissler, Lafley, McDonald and Panayotopoulos received a grant in the January-March quarter and were retirement eligible within the retention period for that grant, the full grant value was expensed over the retention period which fell within the fiscal year and is reflected in the totals above. Because Mr. Panayotopoulos received a portion of his February 2008 Key Manager option grant in the April-June quarter of 2008, half of that grant was expensed in this fiscal year and reflected in the total above. In addition, Ms. Arnolds total also reflects the portions of prior awards expensed in the fiscal year. Because Mr. Moeller is not yet retirement eligible, the fair value of his award will be expensed over the vesting period. Accordingly, the total above reflects only the portion of the fair value of the current year Key Manager option award that was expensed during the fiscal year, as well as portions of prior awards expensed in the fiscal year. |
5 | Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation for fiscal year 2008-09 includes any portion of the 2008-09 BGP award earned in the fiscal year that will be paid in the form of cash or deferred compensation on September 15, 2009, as elected by the individual Named Executive Officer. Executives must take 75% of their award in RSUs, noted above in the Stock Awards column, and the remaining 25% can be paid in cash, deferred compensation or RSUs. All Named Executive Officers except for Mr. Geissler elected cash for this 25% of their 2008-09 BGP award. Mr. Geissler elected to take the 25% in deferred compensation. |
6 | The actuarial present value of Mr. Geisslers pension benefits was [] for the Global International Retirement Arrangement and [] for The Procter & Gamble Company Pension Plan (Germany), respectively, for the period between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009. The actuarial present value of Mr. Panayotopoulos pension benefits was [ ] for the Global International Retirement Arrangement and [] for The Procter & Gamble Company Pension Plan (UK), respectively, for the same period. None of the other Named Executive Officers has a pension plan. None of the Named Executive Officers had above-market earnings on deferred compensation. |

i | Amounts contributed by the Company pursuant to PST, a qualified defined contribution plan providing retirement benefits for U.S.-based employees. Named Executive Officers also receive contributions in the form of RSU grants pursuant to the PST Restoration Program or IRP, each nonqualified defined contribution plans. These awards are included in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table. |
ii | Under the Executive Group Life Insurance Program (EGLIP), the Company offers key executives who have substantially contributed to the success and development of the business and upon whom the future of the Company chiefly depends, life insurance coverage equal to salary plus their STAR target. These policies are owned by the Company. Because premium payments are returned to the Company when the benefit is paid out, we believe the annual premiums paid by the Company overstate the Companys true cost of providing this life insurance benefit. Accordingly, the amounts shown in the table are an average based on Internal Revenue Service tables used to value the term cost of such coverage for calendar year 2008 and calendar year 2009, which reflect what it would cost the executive to obtain the same coverage in a term life insurance policy. The average of the two calendar years was used because fiscal year data is not available. The average of the dollar value of the premiums actually paid by the Company in calendar years 2008 and 2009 under these policies were as follows: Mr. Lafley, []; Mr. Moeller, []; Mr. McDonald, []; Mr. Geissler, []; Mr. Panayotopoulos, []; Ms. Arnold, []; Mr. Daley []. This program is in addition to any other Company-provided group life insurance in which a Named Executive Officer may enroll that is also available to all employees on the same basis. |
iii | Flexible Compensation Program Contributions are given to U.S.-based employees in the form of credits to pay for coverage in a number of benefit plans including, but not limited to, medical insurance and additional life insurance. Employees may also receive unused credits as cash. Credits are earned based on PST years of service. |
iv | The Company provides assistance to certain employees, including Named Executive Officers, related to expenses incurred in connection with expatriate assignments and Company required relocations. Messrs. Geissler and Panayotopoulos received [$] and [$], respectively, in connection with their relocations to the U.S. in 2008. The Company makes tax equalization payments to cover incremental taxes required to be paid to certain countries in connection with certain employees current or prior expatriate assignments. For fiscal year 2008-09, the Company made such payments related to prior expatriate assignments of Messrs. McDonald, Geissler, and Panayotopoulos. Mr. McDonalds tax payment reflects []. Mr. Geisslers tax payment reflects []. Mr. Panayotopoulos tax payment reflects []. |
v | The Named Executive Officers are entitled to the following personal benefits: financial counseling (including tax preparation), an annual physical examination, occasional use of a Company car, secure workplace parking and home security and monitoring. While Company aircraft is generally used for Company business only, Mr. Lafley is required to use Company aircraft for all air travel, including travel to outside board meetings and personal travel, pursuant to the Companys executive security program established by the Board of Directors. While traveling on Company aircraft, Mr. Lafley may bring a limited number of guests (spouse, family member or similar guest) to accompany him. The aggregate incremental aircraft usage costs associated with Mr. Lafleys personal use of Company aircraft, including the costs associated with travel to outside board meetings not fully reimbursed by the other company, were [] for fiscal year 2008-09 and are included in the total above. Ms. Arnold and Messrs. Moeller, McDonald, Geissler, Panayotopoulos and Daley are permitted to use the Company aircraft for travel to outside board meetings and, if the Company aircraft is already scheduled for business purposes and can accommodate additional passenge rs, may use it for personal travel and guest accompaniment. [] utilized the Company aircraft for travel to outside board meetings |
35
and any cost associated with travel to those meetings not fully reimbursed by the other company, is included above. Each of [] utilized the Company aircraft for personal travel and/or guest accompaniment when the aircraft was scheduled for business purposes, but there was no incremental cost to the Company associated with these trips. In addition, the Company holds two or three senior management meetings per year, where the Company allows each executive to bring a guest. In some of these cases, the guest travel costs may be considered incremental or may involve commercial flights. For these meetings, the Company incurred costs associated with providing minor commemorative items, sightseeing and other similar activities for both the executive and the guest. The incremental costs to the Company for these benefits, other than use of Company aircraft, are the actual costs or charges incurred by the Company for the benefits. The incremental cost to the Company for use of the Company aircraft is calculated by using an hourly rate for each flight hour. The hourly rate is based on the variable operational costs of each flight, including fuel, maintenance, flight crew travel expense, catering, communications and fees, including flight planning, ground handling and landing permits. For any flights that involved mixed personal and business usage, any personal usage hours that exceed the business usage are utilized to determine the incremental cost to the Company. Mr. Lafley also serves on the Board of Directors as the Chairman of the Board, and as such he is a participant in the Companys Charitable Gifts Program, which does not have an aggregate incremental cost and is more fully described on page [] of this proxy statement. |
The material factors necessary for an understanding of the compensation detailed in the above two tables are described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement and the footnotes to the two tables above.

The Procter & Gamble Pension Fund (UK) (UK Pension Plan) is a defined benefit plan for employees whose home country was within the United Kingdom for all or a portion of their career. The UK Pension Plan provides for post-retirement payments based on the employees salary and years of service at the time of retirement. The benefit paid is calculated using the following formula:
.02 x years of service x employees pensionable base salary
This benefit is paid at retirement and is reduced to account for government-sponsored pension benefits received by the employee. Furthermore, the UK Pension Plan includes a temporary pension benefit that provides temporary pension payments to those employees who retire after age 59 but before they reach their social security retirement age. The amount of these payments is based on the government-sponsored pension benefits that these employees will receive from the UK government when they retire and reach their social security retirement age. Temporary pension benefit payments under this plan cease when government pension payments begin.
The Procter & Gamble Pension Fund (Germany) (German Pension Plan) is a defined benefit plan for Germany-based employees hired before December 31, 1999. The German Pension Plan provides for post-retirement payments based on the employees salary and years of service at the time of retirement. The benefit is paid using the following formula:
.017 x average salary for three years preceding retirement x years of service
The benefit is paid at retirement and reduced by the German social security benefit based on years of service. The normal retirement age for the plan is 65, and there is a surviving spouse benefit equal to 60% of employees pension benefit.
The Procter & Gamble Company Global International Retirement Arrangement (Global IRA) is designed to provide retirement benefits to certain employees whose benefits are frozen under their home country pension plan(s) as a result of having been transferred away from their home country on a permanent basis. The Global IRA benefit is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
.017 x average salary for three years preceding retirement x years of service outside of home country (before localization)
The Global IRA accounts for the differences in retirement benefits attributable to a higher salary at the time of retirement than at the time of transfer out of the home country. As such, the Global IRA is reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by any retirement pension benefit paid by either the Company or the government which was earned through the employees home country.

The Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in The Procter & Gamble Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (EDCP). Under EDCP, a participant may defer up to 50% of base salary, up to 100% of the STAR award, and up to 25% of the BGP long-term incentive award. Amounts may be deferred for a minimum of one year or until termination of employment. Payments that commence upon retirement, death or disability may be taken in a lump sum or installments (over a maximum period of ten years). All other payments under the plan are paid as a lump sum.
Amounts deferred under EDCP are credited with market earnings based on the same fund choices available to all employees under the Companys tax-qualified plan. Participants may change fund choices on a daily basis.
As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page [] of this proxy statement, federal tax rules limit the size of contributions that can be made to individuals pursuant to tax-qualified defined contribution plans like the PST. These limits are based on the annual salary of the plan participant. Because of these limits, certain participants, including the Named Executive Officers, are unable to receive their full contributions pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PST.
43
To account for these limitations, the Company utilizes the PST Restoration Program. This is a nonqualified defined contribution plan under which the Company makes an additional annual contribution in the form of RSUs to those executives whose calculated contribution to their PST accounts was limited by federal tax laws.
These RSUs are forfeitable until the executive becomes eligible for retirement. Executives can elect to receive either a lump sum payment one year post-retirement or ten annual installment payments beginning one year post-retirement, or they can defer receipt of either the lump sum or the ten annual installments to six or eleven years post-retirement. Generally, executives have up until retirement to change a previous deferral election, with any such deferral elections or changes to deferral elections made in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. These RSUs earn dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends on Company common stock and are accrued in the form of additional RSUs each quarter and credited to the executives holdings. The value of each RSU may increase or decrease over time as the value is tied to the price of the Company stock.
Named Executive Officers may convert certain of their PST Restoration Program RSUs into contributions to the EDCP. All such contributions are forfeitable until the executive becomes eligible for retirement and are paid out in the same manner described above.
The Companys International Retirement Plan (IRP) is designed to provide retirement benefits for employees whose participation in retirement plans in their home countries has been suspended because they are on expatriate assignments outside of that country or have been transferred out of that country on a permanent basis. Under the IRP, the Company makes an annual contribution for each participant equal to the contribution that would have been made under the participants home country retirement plan had the participant remained in that country and eligible to participate in that plan.
At each participants election, the Companys IRP contribution is placed into one of several investment vehicles available within the IRP. Participants are also eligible to receive all or a portion of this contribution in RSUs. These contributions vest according to the terms and conditions of the participants home country retirement plan. Upon retirement from the Company, participants must elect to receive distributions from their IRP accounts in one of four ways: 1) fixed-income annuity, 2) variable annuity, 3) lump sum, or 4) annual installments (over a maximum of 15 years).
Amounts the Named Executive Officers defer under any of the above mentioned plans that are scheduled to be paid after termination of employment must be held by the Company for a minimum of six months in order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
44
Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Because the Company does not have any employment contracts with its Named Executive Officers, there are no severance payments required to be made to any of these officers upon termination of their employment. Certain elements of compensation are, however, treated differently upon various termination of employment scenarios, as described below. The following describes how certain elements of compensation are generally handled under these scenarios for all Company employees, including the Named Executive Officers.
| Base salaryBase salary is paid through the last day worked, regardless of reason for termination of employment. In the event that the Company encourages a U.S. employee to terminate employment with the Company (but not for cause), that individual may receive a separation allowance of up to one years annual base salary, calculated based on years of service. |
| STARIndividuals who work through the last day of the fiscal year are eligible for the STAR award payable for that year, regardless of the reason for termination of employment. Past short-term bonus awards where the employee voluntarily elected stock or options in lieu of cash are either retained or paid out in a lump sum, regardless of the reason for termination. |
| Equity Awards under the Companys Key Manager Annual Stock Grant program, BGP, PST Restoration Program and IRPTreatment is governed by the Companys equity compensation plans and depends on the reason for termination of employment, as follows. Past equity awards where the employee voluntarily elected stock or options in lieu of cash or unrestricted stock are either retained or paid out in a lump sum, regardless of the reason for termination. Further, in certain situations, employees are entitled to keep all equity awards according to their original terms. Each of the following assumes that the individual fully complies with certain provisions of the Companys equity compensation plans, including compliance with the Companys Purpose, Values and Principles and the provision that prohibits individuals from competing with the Company following termination of employment, each of which can result in forfeiture and/or cancellation of outstanding equity awards. |
n | Voluntary Termination by the EmployeeAll stock options that were not vested and all RSUs for which the forfeiture date has not yet occurred are forfeited effective upon the date of termination. All vested stock options that were not exercised prior to termination are forfeited. |
n | Retirement or Permanent DisabilityStock options and Key Manager RSUs received at least six months prior to retirement or permanent disability are retained, with stock options held until expiration and Key Manager RSUs delivering in shares, each according to their original terms. All other RSUs are also retained, with delivery of shares according to the original terms. |
n | Company Encouraged Termination, Not for CauseStock options and Key Manager RSUs received at least six months prior to termination are retained, with stock options held until expiration and Key Manager RSUs delivering in shares, each according to their original terms. All other RSUs for which the forfeiture date has not yet occurred are forfeited, unless agreed otherwise by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee. |
n | Termination for CauseAll stock options and RSUs are forfeited effective upon the date of termination. |
n | Change-in-ControlAll stock options vest immediately. All RSUs are deliverable in shares immediately. The purpose of this single trigger vesting provision is to protect Company employees in the event of a change-in-control by accelerating the vesting schedule for their outstanding equity awards. The Company is presenting a new stock plan (see Exhibit C to this proxy statement) to shareholders for approval which refines this approach by introducing a second trigger for change-in-control transactions that specifically ties accelerated vesting to involuntary terminations of employment for reasons other than cause and for terminations of employment for good reason. |
45
n | DeathAll stock options and RSUs transfer by will or laws of descent and distribution. All stock options vest immediately. All RSUs are deliverable in shares immediately. |
| Special Equity AwardsIn special circumstances, the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee may make a special award of restricted stock or RSUs. Terms and conditions of these awards are determined by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee at the time of grant. In the event of a change-in-control, all restrictions lapse immediately and, in a case of hardship, the Committee may accelerate the lapse of restrictions. |
| BGPEmployees who work through the last day of the three-year performance period are eligible for the BGP awards payable for that year, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee. For employees who leave prior to the end of the performance period, the Committee has discretion to determine the amount of a BGP award, if any. |
| Retirement PlansThe retirement plans in which the Named Executive Officers participate do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation for Named Executive Officers versus all other participants. All Named Executive Officers are fully vested in PST and will retain all shares upon termination of employment regardless of reason. Messrs. Geissler and Panayotopoulos are currently eligible for retirement and so each becomes vested in the IRA and entitled to the full benefit value upon separation from the Company. Mr. Geissler is []. Mr. Panayotopoulos is fully vested in his IRP and UK Pension account balances and therefore would retain those balances upon termination for any reason. |
| Deferred CompensationAmounts deferred under The Procter & Gamble Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan have been earned and therefore are retained upon termination for any reason. Any RSUs granted pursuant to the PST Restoration Program or IRP would be treated as described above under Equity Awards, but are not included in the following table because they are reported on the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table on page [] of this proxy statement. |
| Executive Benefits |
n | Executive Group Life InsuranceBenefits are retained if employee is eligible for early retirement. |
n | Financial CounselingEmployee may use the remaining balance until the end of the current calendar year for reimbursable charges under the program. |
n | Unused VacationEmployee entitled to lump sum payment equal to value of accrued, but unused, vacation days. |
n | Other programsIn most cases, participation ends on the last day worked, unless otherwise agreed by the Committee. |
| Expatriate and Relocation ProgramIf an employees expatriate assignment terminates for any reason, the Company would pay for relocation to the home country and would cover future taxes due related to the expatriate assignment. |

1 | As noted above, no severance payments are required to be made to any of the Named Executive Officers under any of these termination of employment scenarios. Retention of certain elements of compensation, such as equity-based compensation, may vary depending on the reason for termination. For a complete understanding of these differences, please see the narrative section above. |
2 | Each of the Named Executive Officers has enough years of service with the Company to receive one years salary upon a Company encouraged termination of employment (not for cause). As noted above, the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee has discretion to allow a Named Executive Officer to retain certain equity awards that otherwise would be forfeited under the Companys compensation programs in the event of a Company encouraged termination (not for cause). |
3 | The amounts shown for stock options and stock awards represent the in-the-money value of unexercisable stock options and RSUs (excluding PST Restoration RSUs and IRP RSUs which are reported in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table) that would immediately become exercisable and/or deliverable in shares, respectively, upon a change-in-control or death of the Named Executive Officer, based on the Companys closing stock price on June 30, 2009 of $51.10. The amounts shown for the Executive Group Life Insurance death benefit assumes a June 30, 2009 death. A change-in-control does not trigger payment of a death benefit. |
