PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

Criteria for Nomination to the Board

The goal of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company is to assemble a board that offers a diverse portfolio of perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, knowledge and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the appropriate skills and characteristics required of directors in the context of the current composition of the Board, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders.

The key attributes, experience and skills we consider important for our directors in light of our current business and structure are:

•

Industry and Technology Expertise. Since we are a technology and software provider, understanding new technologies and emerging industry trends or experience in relevant technology is useful in understanding our research and development efforts, competing technologies, the various products and processes that we develop, the market segments in which we compete, and evolving customer requirements.

•

Global Expertise. We are a global organization with employees and customers in many countries. Directors with global expertise can provide a useful business and cultural perspective regarding many significant aspects of our business.

•

Leadership Experience. Directors who have served in senior leadership positions, as a general manager of a business, or the functional leader of a global sales, marketing or product development organization, are important to us, because they bring experience and perspective in analyzing, shaping, and overseeing the execution of important strategic, operational and policy issues at a senior level.

•

Public Company Board Experience. Directors who have served on other public company boards can offer advice and insights with regard to the dynamics and operation of a board of directors; the relations of a board to the chief executive officer and other management personnel; the importance of particular agenda and oversight matters; and oversight of a changing mix of strategic, operational, and compliance-related matters.

•

Business Combinations and Partnerships Experience. Directors who have a background in M&A and partnership transactions can provide insight into developing and implementing strategies for growing our business through combination with other organizations.

•

Financial Expertise. Knowledge of financial markets, financing operations, and accounting and financial reporting processes is important because it assists our directors in understanding, advising, and overseeing Symantec’s capital structure, financing and investing activities, financial reporting, and internal control of such activities.

•

Diversity. In addition to a diverse portfolio of professional background, experiences, knowledge and skills, the composition of the Board should reflect the benefits of diversity as to gender, race, and ethnic background.

The information provided under “Director Qualifications” below each of the brief biographical descriptions set forth under “Our Board of Directors” below includes the key individual attributes, experience and skills of each of our directors that led to the conclusion that each director should serve as a member of the board of directors at this time.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires Symantec’s directors, executive officers and any persons who own more than 10% of Symantec’s common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish Symantec with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms furnished to Symantec and written representations from the directors and executive officers, Symantec believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were met in fiscal year 2014, except that one Form 4 reflecting a grant of restricted stock units to Mark S. Garfield and one Form 4 reflecting vesting of shares under a performance-based restricted stock unit grant for each of Stephen E. Gillett and Scott C. Taylor were filed late.

Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all of our Board members, officers and employees. We have also adopted a code of ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers, including our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers are posted on the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.symantec.com/invest, by clicking on “Corporate Governance” and then “Company Charters”. Any amendments or waivers of our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers pertaining to a member of our Board or one of our executive officers will be disclosed on our website at the above-referenced address.

Identification of Audit Committee and Financial Expert

We have a separately-designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The members of the Audit Committee, including each member that our Board has determined is an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules and regulations, are identified below.


Members:		Frank E. Dangeard Robert S. Miller Anita M. Sands V. Paul Unruh (Chair) Suzanne M. Vautrinot

Financial Experts:		Our Board has unanimously determined that all Audit Committee members are financially literate under current NASDAQ listing standards, and at least one member has financial sophistication under NASDAQ listing standards. In addition, our Board has unanimously determined that V. Paul Unruh qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules and regulations. Mr. Unruh is independent as defined by current NASDAQ listing standards for Audit Committee membership. Designation as an “audit committee financial expert” is an SEC disclosure requirement and does not impose any additional duties, obligations or liability on any person so designated.

Our Compensation Philosophy and Practices

The overriding principle driving our compensation programs continues to be our belief that it benefits our employees, customers, partners and stockholders to have management’s compensation tied to our current and long-term performance. The following factors demonstrate our continued commitment to pay-for-performance and to corporate governance best practices:

•

We reward performance that meets our performance goals. Our compensation plans do not have guaranteed payout levels, and our named executive officers do not receive any payouts under performance-based cash or equity awards if the goals are not met. For example, for fiscal 2014, none of our named executive officers received a payout under our FY14 Executive Annual Incentive Plans because we did not meet the threshold level of performance. Our compensation plans are also capped to discourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by our executive officers.

•

We continue to grant performance-based restricted stock units (“PRUs”) to our named executive officers as a regular part of our annual executive compensation program. We do not award any stock options to our executives.

•

The long-term equity incentive component of our former CEO’s compensation package for fiscal 2014 was composed exclusively of performance-contingent stock units (“PCSUs”), which derive their value on the basis of increases in our stock price.

•

We ensure that our various incentive plans use multiple measures that correlate to stockholder value, such that no single metric becomes overly emphasized in determining payouts.

•

Our peer group consists primarily of businesses with a focus on software development or software and engineering-driven companies that compete with us for talent. Our peer group companies are comparable to us in terms of complexity, global reach, revenue and market capitalization.

•

We have long-standing stock ownership guidelines for our named executive officers, requiring them to hold a minimum value in shares so that they have an even greater financial stake in our company, thereby further aligning the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. We also prohibit the sale of any shares (except to meet tax withholding obligations) if doing so would cause them to fall below the required ownership levels.

•

We do not provide for gross-ups of excise tax values under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

•

We limit any potential cash severance payments to under 3x our executive officers’ total target cash compensation.

•

We have clawback provisions in all of our executive compensation plans (providing for the return of any excess compensation received by an executive officer if our financial statements are the subject of a restatement due to error or misconduct).

•

Our executive officers are prohibited from short-selling Symantec stock or engaging in transactions involving Symantec-based derivative securities, and are also prohibited from pledging their Symantec stock.

•

Our equity incentive plan prohibits the repricing or exchange of equity awards without stockholder approval.

•

We seek stockholder feedback on our executive compensation through an annual advisory vote and ongoing stockholder engagement.

Summary of Compensation Matters During Fiscal 2014

Business Changes and Performance in Fiscal 2014

In fiscal 2014 we implemented a number of operational changes to improve long-term performance and growth for Symantec:

•

We simplified our organizational structure to reduce complexity, remove redundancies, increase the speed of decision making and improve accountability.

•

We redesigned our sales coverage model by: (i) splitting our direct field sales team into security and information management specialists; (ii) building a dedicated renewals team to focus on extending and broadening our customer relationships; and (iii) redesigning our global channel strategy to focus on building partner competency, rewarding performance and customer satisfaction.

•

We changed our product offerings by making our point solutions better, and designed new integrated solutions and expanded our offerings by entering into key partnerships to offer solutions that provide multi-tier protection.

In fiscal 2014, we also experienced significant departures of several of our senior executives, including the following:

•

Stephen M. Bennett, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, was terminated by the Board on March 19, 2014;

•

James A. Beer, our former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer resigned effective October 8, 2013;

•

Andrew H. Del Matto, who served as our former acting Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer following Mr. Beer’s departure, resigned effective December 31, 2013; and

•

Francis A. deSouza, our former President, Products and Services resigned effective November 11, 2013.

In addition to the changes noted above, Donald J. Rath, our current Vice President, Tax, served as our interim Chief Financial Officer and interim Chief Accounting Officer while we searched for a permanent Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer from January 1, 2014 to March 17, 2014.

Despite these changes, we have recruited and are retaining a number of talented executives, and continue operating with a strong team of business and technology leaders, including:

•

Thomas J. Seifert, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer who joined us on March 17, 2014, brings a wealth of operational and finance experience from a number of global technology companies;

•

Stephen E. Gillett, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has been key in implementing our operational changes;

•

Scott C. Taylor, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, has been a strong leader and business partner throughout Symantec’s transformation; and

•

We added several new technology executives, who bring valuable skills in holistic information protection product design, integrated IT implementation, cloud infrastructure, eCommerce, and global sales, operations and customer experience.

Michael A. Brown, our interim President and Chief Executive Officer, has been instrumental in maintaining continuity and improving the company’s performance as the Board actively searches for a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board has retained Russell Reynolds (an executive search firm) to assist them in the search for a permanent chief executive officer who, among other things, understands the technology landscape, has expertise in growing a multi-product business at scale, and has a strong record of collaborative leadership.

We also implemented a capital allocation strategy through which we strengthened our commitment to return excess capital to our stockholders using a combination of quarterly cash dividend payments and share repurchases totaling $918 million, which represented approximately 90% of our free cash flow during fiscal 2014. We returned a total of $418 million in cash dividends and spent $500 million to repurchase 21 million shares during fiscal 2014.

In fiscal 2014, Symantec delivered revenue of $6.7 billion, a year-over-year decline of 3%. We attribute this decline to the significant operational changes we implemented in fiscal 2014, including changes to our go-to-market coverage model. Our non-GAAP net income increased by 8% and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 9% year over year.

Financial and Compensation Metrics, Performance Achievement and Incentive Plan Earnings

During fiscal 2014, we used three core financial operating metrics as well as total shareholder returns (“TSR”) relative to the S&P 500 to assess company performance and determine incentive compensation amounts earned by our officers. The operating metrics used in our executive compensation programs are: non-GAAP operating income, revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”). These metrics were selected because we believe they are strongly correlated to enterprise value for companies in our sector and support the appropriate behaviors for our leadership team to drive company performance. For a significant portion of the long-term equity incentive compensation component of our regular annual executive compensation program, we also used two other metrics that more directly align the interests of our executive officers to those of our stockholders: our stock price and TSR ranking for our company as compared to the S&P 500. In addition, individual performance was a factor in the potential annual incentive awards of our named executive officers, other than our former CEO, under our Executive Annual Incentive Plan.

As noted above, our fiscal 2014 financial performance was below our expected levels. For our incentive plans, performance and resulting earning levels are as follows:


Incentive Plan		Fiscal 2014 Performance		Incentive Award Outcome
FY14 Executive Annual Incentive Plan	•	Our non-GAAP operating income⁽¹⁾ was below our threshold level of performance for fiscal 2014	•	Zero funding and no payouts for our executive officers
			•	We believe this demonstrates our commitment to paying for performance

Fiscal 2014 PRU Grants	•	Our non-GAAP EPS⁽¹⁾ was 99% of our targeted performance level of $1.89 for the full fiscal year	•	98% of the targeted number of shares are eligible to be earned, subject to modification on final shares earned based on Symantec’s 2- and 3-year relative TSR versus the S&P 500

Fiscal 2014 PCSU Grant (former CEO only)	•	At no point did our 60-day average stock price achieve the minimum earning threshold level of $26.79	•	No shares vested based on performance due to our not achieving the minimum performance hurdle

(1)

Consistent with the presentation in our quarterly earnings releases and supplemental materials, under our executive compensation programs, we define (i) non-GAAP operating income as gross profits less operating expenses before interest and taxes, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and transition charges, charges related to the amortization of intangible assets, and the related tax impact of these adjustments; and (ii) non-GAAP EPS as diluted net income per share as adjusted to exclude the items described above, as well as non-cash interest expense, value-added tax refunds a tax from the China tax bureau, certain other tax benefits, and the related tax impact of these adjustments.

NEO Compensation

Our named executive officers were compensated in a manner consistent with our core pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. The following are some important elements of our named executive officers’ compensation for fiscal 2014:

•

Majority of pay mix at risk. For fiscal 2014, approximately 91% of our former CEO’s target total direct compensation was at risk and approximately 84% of the target total direct compensation for our other named executive officers (other than our interim CEO, CFO, former acting CFO and former interim CFO), on average, was at risk.

•

Long-term incentive compensation linked exclusively to share price for former CEO. For fiscal 2014, the long-term incentive compensation component of our former CEO’s compensation package was comprised exclusively of a PCSU grant that was directly tied to increasing our stock price, and thus was designed to reward our CEO for providing tangible value to our stockholders.

•

Short-term incentive compensation linked exclusively to Company financial results. Our executive annual incentive bonus was structured to emphasize performance. Under the FY14 Executive Annual Incentive Plans, the named executive officers were eligible to receive performance-based incentive bonuses based on our company’s achievement of targeted non-GAAP operating income for fiscal 2014, as modified by our company’s achievement of targeted revenue during fiscal 2014.

•

Long-term incentive compensation is 100% equity-based. We discontinued using a long-term cash incentive award as a component of our long-term executive compensation program. For fiscal 2014, the long-term compensation component of our named executive officers’ compensation packages consisted entirely of long-term equity incentive awards.

•

Peer group aligned with competitors for talent and similar business models. Based in part on feedback obtained from our ongoing engagement with stockholders and their advisers, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) adjusted our peer group to include companies that are more similar to us in terms of complexity, global reach and revenue and market capitalization. They primarily selected businesses with a focus on software development or software and engineering-driven companies that compete with us for executive and broader talent.

•

Performance measures are non-duplicative. We eliminated the duplication of the non-GAAP EPS metric in both the cash annual incentive plan and the PRU equity incentive plan. In fiscal 2014, the cash annual incentive plan metric was non-GAAP operating income, which we believe our executives have a more direct ability to affect.

•

Increased stock ownership guidelines. To enhance the alignment between our executive officers and stockholder interests, in July 2013 we increased the level of our stock ownership guidelines for our Chief Operating Officer and President, Products and Services so that they have a minimum holding requirement of 3x their base salaries.

•

Severance of former CEO per employment and equity agreements. As stated above, our former CEO was terminated effective March 19, 2014. In accordance with his employment agreement, he received a cash severance payment equal to 1.5 times his annual base salary and target bonus, an acceleration of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and reimbursement of COBRA premiums for eighteen months. He also received acceleration of PCSUs and PRUs in accordance with the terms in his PCSU agreement and PRU agreement, respectively.

“Say on Pay” Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

We hold an advisory vote on executive compensation, commonly known as “Say-on-Pay,” on an annual basis. While these votes are not binding, we believe that it is important for our stockholders to have an opportunity to express their views regarding our executive compensation programs and philosophy as disclosed in our proxy statement on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee values our stockholders’ opinions and the Board and the Compensation Committee consider the outcome of each vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. In addition to the annual advisory vote on executive compensation, we are committed to ongoing engagement with our stockholders on executive compensation matters generally. These engagement efforts take place through telephone calls, in-person meetings and correspondence with our stockholders.

We have received approximately 98%, 97% and 97% of the votes cast on the advisory vote in favor of our executive compensation in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The Board and the Compensation Committee considered these favorable outcomes and believe they convey our stockholders’ support of our existing executive compensation philosophy and programs; therefore, these outcomes did not have a material impact on executive compensation decisions and policies for fiscal 2014. Nonetheless, as noted above, the Compensation Committee introduced a few changes to the structure of our executive compensation programs for fiscal 2014 based on feedback received from a majority of our top 100 investors and their advisers. The Compensation Committee adjusted our peer group as described further on page 16. The Compensation Committee also changed the metrics for our cash annual incentive plans for fiscal 2014 so that the same metrics are not used for our all of our performance-based compensation, including PRU awards, as described starting on page 19.

Roles of Our Compensation Committee, Executive Officers and Consultants in our Compensation Process

The Compensation Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, is responsible for overseeing all of Symantec’s compensation programs, including the review and recommendation to the independent directors of our Board of all compensation arrangements for our CEO and the review and approval of the compensation payable to our other named executive officers.

The independent directors of the Board evaluate the CEO’s performance and the Compensation Committee then reviews and recommends to the independent members of the Board all compensation arrangements for the CEO. After discussion, the independent members of the Board determine the CEO’s compensation. The Compensation Committee also discusses the performance of the other named executive officers with the CEO, reviews the compensation recommendations that the CEO submits for the other named executive officers, makes any appropriate adjustments, and approves their compensation. While our CEO provides input and makes compensation recommendations with respect to executive officers other than himself, our CEO does not make recommendations with respect to his own compensation or participate in the deliberations regarding the setting of his own compensation by the Board or the Compensation Committee.

Since fiscal 2004, the Compensation Committee has engaged Mercer, an outside consulting firm, to provide advice and ongoing recommendations on executive compensation matters. The Compensation Committee oversees Mercer’s engagement. Mercer representatives meet informally with the Compensation Committee Chair and the Chief Human Resources Officer and also with the Compensation Committee during its regular meetings, including in executive sessions from time to time without any members of management present.

As part of its engagement in fiscal 2014, Mercer provided, among other services, advice and recommendations on the amount and form of executive and director compensation. For example, Mercer evaluated and advised the Compensation Committee on the peer group that the Compensation Committee uses to develop a market composite for purposes of establishing named executive officer pay levels (as described below), the competitiveness of our director and executive compensation programs, the design of awards under and proposed performance metrics and ranges for incentive plans, compensation-related trends and developments in our industry and the broader talent market and regulatory developments relating to compensation practices.

We paid Mercer approximately $203,500 for executive compensation services in fiscal 2014. In addition, with the Compensation Committee’s approval, management engaged and Symantec paid Mercer and its affiliates for other services, including approximately $2.057 million for other unrelated consulting and business services. We also reimbursed Mercer and its affiliates for reasonable travel and business expenses. The Compensation Committee did not review or approve the other services provided by Mercer and its affiliates to Symantec, as those services were approved by management in the normal course of business. Based in part on policies and procedures implemented by Mercer to ensure the objectivity of its executive compensation consultants and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of Mercer’s independence pursuant to the SEC rules, the Compensation Committee concluded that the consulting advice it receives from Mercer is objective and not influenced by Mercer and its affiliates’ other relationships with Symantec and that no conflict of interest exists that will prevent Mercer from being independent consultants to the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee establishes our compensation philosophy, approves our compensation programs and solicits input and advice from several of our executive officers and Mercer. As mentioned above, our CEO provides the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee with feedback on the performance of our executive officers and makes compensation recommendations (other than with respect to his own compensation) that go to the Compensation Committee for their approval. Our CEO, Chief Human Resources Officer and General Counsel regularly attend the Compensation Committee’s meetings to provide their perspectives on competition in the industry, the needs of the business, information regarding Symantec’s performance, and other advice specific to their areas of expertise. In addition, at the Compensation Committee’s direction, Mercer works with our Chief Human Resources Officer and other members of management to obtain information necessary for Mercer to make their own recommendations as to various matters as well as to evaluate management’s recommendations.

FACTORS WE CONSIDER IN DETERMINING OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

We apply a number of compensation policies and analytic tools in implementing our compensation principles. These policies and tools guide the Compensation Committee in determining the mix and value of the compensation components for our named executive officers, consistent with our compensation philosophy. They include:

Focus on Pay-for-Performance: Our executive compensation program is designed to reward executives for results. As described below, the pay mix for our named executive officers emphasizes variable pay in the form of short-term cash and long-term equity awards. For cash awards, short-term results are measured by non-GAAP operating income, annual revenue and, for all our named executive officers other than our CEO, individual performance. A significant portion of equity grants for our named executive officers other than our CEO are directly performance based, with base-level grants set by performance versus non-GAAP EPS targets, modified over an extended term by the achievement of the total stockholder return ranking for our company as compared to the S&P 500. The value of the remainder equity grants to our named executive officers other than our CEO is determined by performance as reflected in our absolute company share price.

A Total Rewards Approach: Elements of the total rewards offered to our executive officers include base salary, short- and long-term incentives including equity awards, health benefits, a deferred compensation program and a consistent focus on individual professional growth and opportunities for new challenges.

Appropriate Market Positioning: Our general pay positioning strategy is to target the levels of base salary, annual short-term cash incentive structure and long-term equity incentive opportunities and benefits for our named executive officers with reference to the relevant market data for each position. The Compensation Committee may set the actual components for an individual named executive officer above or below the positioning benchmark based on factors such as experience, performance achieved, specific skills or competencies, the desired pay mix (e.g., emphasizing short- or long-term results), and our budget.

Competitive Market Assessments: Market competitiveness is one factor that the Compensation Committee considers each year in determining a named executive officer’s overall compensation package, including pay mix. The Compensation Committee relies on various data sources to evaluate the market competitiveness of each pay element, including publicly-disclosed data from a peer group of companies (see discussion below) and published survey data from a broader set of information technology companies that the Compensation Committee, based on the advice of Mercer, believes represent Symantec’s competition in the broader talent market. The peer group’s proxy statements provide detailed pay data for the top five positions. Survey data, which we obtain from the Radford Global Technology Survey and Radford Global Sales Survey, provides compensation information on a broader group of executives and from a broader group of information technology companies, with positions matched based on specific job scope and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee considers data from these sources as a framework for making compensation decisions for each named executive officer’s position.

The information technology industry in which we compete is characterized by rapid rates of change and intense competition from small and large companies, and the companies within this industry have significant cross-over in leadership talent needs. As such, we compete for executive talent with leading software and services companies as well as in the broad information technology industry. We particularly face intense competition with companies located in the geographic areas where Symantec operates, regardless of specific industry focus or company size. Further, because we believe that stockholders measure our performance against a wide array of technology peers, the Compensation Committee uses a peer group that consists of a broader group of high technology companies in different market segments that are of a comparable size to us. The Compensation Committee uses this peer group, as well as other relevant market data, to evaluate named executive officer pay levels (as described above).

The Compensation Committee reviews our peer group on an annual basis, with input from Mercer, and the group may be adjusted from time to time based on, among other inputs, a comparison of revenues, market capitalization, industry and peer group performance. Our Compensation Committee adjusted our peer group for fiscal 2014 based in part on feedback obtained from a majority of our top 100 investors and their advisers, as well as input from Mercer, and after taking into consideration what is appropriate for our company, stockholders and management team,. The following criteria were used to select our updated peer group:

•

Businesses with an intense software development focus

•

Similar breadth of complexity and global reach as Symantec

•

Annual revenue of $1.5 billion—$20.0 billion

•

Market capitalization of $4.0 billion—$61.0 billion

•

Software and engineering-driven companies in the Silicon Valley or elsewhere with which we compete for executive and broader talent

Based on the new selection criteria discussed above, the following companies were removed from our peer group because they no longer fit the revenue, market cap size or industry selection criteria: Analog Devices, Inc., Apple Inc., Harris Corporation, Juniper Networks, Inc., Lexmark International, Inc., Oracle Corporation, Qualcomm Incorporated and Seagate Technology Pty.

Additionally, the following ten companies were added to our peer group because they fit the new selection criteria: Activision Blizzard, Inc., Autodesk, Inc., BMC Software, Inc., Citrix Systems, Inc., eBay Inc., Intuit Inc., Nuance Communications, Inc., salesforce.com, inc., Synopsys, Inc. and VMWare, Inc.

The Compensation Committee has used the below peer group in setting the compensation for our named executive officers, except for our current interim CEO, for fiscal 2014:


Fiscal 2014 Symantec Peer Group
Activision Blizzard, Inc.	eBay Inc.	Nuance Communications, Inc.
Adobe Systems Incorporated	Electronic Arts Inc.	salesforce.com, inc.
Autodesk, Inc.	EMC Corporation	Synopsys, Inc.
BMC Software, Inc.	Intuit Inc.	VMware, Inc.
CA, Inc.	NetApp, Inc.	Yahoo! Inc.
Citrix Systems, Inc.

The Compensation Committee uses these peer companies for comparative purposes, as discussed above. In fiscal 2014, compensation for individual executive officers was not dependent on how we performed relative to these peers with respect to particular financial metrics. Further information regarding the financial results and performance of any of the peer companies may be found in periodic reports those companies file with the SEC.

Appropriate Pay Mix: Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, our executive officers’ compensation is structured with a large portion of their total direct compensation paid based on the performance of our company and the individual. In determining the mix of the various reward elements and the value of each component, the Compensation Committee takes into account the executive’s role, the competitiveness of the market for executive talent, company performance, individual performance, internal pay equity and historical compensation. In making its determinations with regard to compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews the various compensation elements for the CEO and our other named executive officers (including base salary, target annual bonus, and the value of vested and unvested equity awards actually or potentially issued).

The percentage of an executive officer’s compensation opportunity that is “at-risk,” or variable instead of fixed, is based primarily on the officer’s level of influence at Symantec. Executive officers generally have a greater portion of their pay at risk through short- and long-term incentive programs than the rest of our employee population because of their relatively greater responsibility and ability to influence our company’s performance. Typically, a materially higher proportion of the CEO’s compensation opportunity is at-risk relative to our other named executive officers because the nature of his role and ability to influence our company’s performance. As illustrated by the following charts, for fiscal 2014, approximately 91% of our former CEO’s target total direct compensation (sum of base salary, target annual incentive and grant date fair value of equity award) was at-risk, and on average approximately 84% of our other named executive officers’ (excluding our former CEO, current interim CEO, CFO, former acting CFO and former interim CFO) compensation opportunity was at-risk compensation.

Form and Mix of Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation: The long-term equity incentive compensation component of our regular annual executive compensation program consists of PRUs and RSUs for all of our named executive officers, except for our CEO. Our former CEO’s long-term equity incentive compensation for 2014 consisted of PCSUs only, and our current interim CEO did not receive any long-term equity incentive compensation for fiscal 2014. We allocated all of the value of our former CEO’s target total long-term equity incentive award in the form of PCSUs, as depicted in the chart above. We believed these allocations would strike the appropriate balance between performance and retention for long-term equity incentive awards. We no longer offer stock options as a regular part of our annual executive compensation program and we may further adjust the mix and forms of equity award we offer to our named executive officers, including the CEO, in the future.

For fiscal 2014, our former CEO received approximately 77% of the value of his target total direct compensation in the form of PCSUs. Other named executive officers (excluding our former CEO, current interim CEO, CFO, former acting CFO and former interim CFO), received on average, approximately 38% of the target value of their equity compensation in the form of PRUs and 30% in RSUs.

These percentages (and other percentage-based equity awards values discussed below) are based on the grant date fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs, and the grant date fair value of the PRUs and PCSUs at the target level award size. The awards made to our named executive officers, other than the CEO, are determined by the Compensation Committee after reviewing recommendations made by the CEO. In determining its recommendations to the independent directors of the Board, in the case of CEO compensation, and in making compensation decisions with respect to other named executive officers, the Compensation Committee may consider factors such as the individual’s responsibilities, the individual’s performance, industry experience, current pay mix, total compensation competitiveness, long-term equity and cash awards previously granted to the individual, retention considerations, and other factors.

Compensation Risk Assessment: The Compensation Committee, in consultation with Mercer, has conducted its annual risk analysis on Symantec’s compensation policies and practices, and does not believe that our compensation programs encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking by our executives or are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Symantec.

COMPENSATION COMPONENTS

The major components of compensation for our named executive officers during fiscal 2014 were: (i) base salary, (ii) short-term cash incentive awards, and (iii) long-term equity incentive awards.

I. Base Salary

The Compensation Committee reviews the named executive officers’ salaries annually as part of its overall competitive market assessment and may make adjustments based on talent, experience, performance, contribution levels, individual role, positioning relative to market, and our overall salary budget. The independent members of the Board of Directors review the CEO’s salary in executive session (i.e., without any executives present), and changes are considered in light of market pay assessments and the Board’s annual CEO performance evaluation, in each case without the participation of our CEO. In setting the base salaries for the other named executive officers, the Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of the CEO based upon his annual review of their performance. Although the Compensation Committee takes into account the factors and information described above during its review and determination of the base salary for each executive officer, it does not assign a specific weight to any element and does not measure individual performance against an objective standard in the evaluation of an executive officer’s base salary. Instead, these reviews and determinations are based on the Compensation Committee’s subjective judgment taking into account all available information, including the competitive market assessment.

In connection with the appointment of our current interim Chief Executive Officer in March 2014, the independent members of the Board negotiated an employment arrangement with him that provides for a base salary of $100,000 per month for as long as he serves as interim Chief Executive Officer. In negotiating and setting his base salary, the Board considered the nature and importance of his responsibilities to maintain and improve the performance of our company as we search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer, as well as the expected time horizon for the CEO search. The Board also took into consideration his talents, leadership experience and track record as a CEO. The independent members of the Board did not benchmark other companies’ pay practices in similar situations, but did determine that this arrangement was fair and reasonable in view of their qualitative assessment of Mr. Brown’s expected contributions in his role, our business needs and the potential costs and benefits.

The Compensation Committee used a different approach to determine Mr. Seifert’s annual base salary. In his case, the Compensation Committee targeted the level of his annual base salary with reference to his annual base salary with his then-current employer.

Base salaries for Messrs. Gillett, Taylor, Bennett, Beer and deSouza remained the same from the previous year, as their annual base salaries were deemed effective in continuing to achieve the Compensation Committee’s goals for this component of executive compensation. Following Mr. Beer’s departure, Mr. Del Matto was appointed as our Acting Chief Financial Officer in October 2013 at which time he received a 7.3% increase in recognition of his increased responsibilities. The following table presents each named executive officer’s base salary for fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013:

II.Executive Annual Incentive Plan

The Executive Annual Incentive Plans for our executive officers are adopted pursuant to the Senior Executive Incentive Plan (“SEIP”) most recently approved by our stockholders in 2013. The Executive Annual Incentive Plans adopted under the SEIP are annual cash incentive plans that are designed to reward named executive officers (and other participants) for generating strong financial results for our Company in the short term. To support collaboration within the senior leadership group, all named executive officers earn incentive compensation based on performance against pre-determined corporate goals described below. The Compensation Committee typically measures the achievement of named executive officers (other than our CEO) against individual performance targets as well.

Executive Annual Incentive Plan Target Opportunities: Under the Executive Annual Incentive Plans for a given fiscal year, each named executive officer has a target award opportunity, expressed as a percentage of base salary, with the ability to earn above or below that target based on actual performance. Target award opportunities for our Executive Annual Incentive Plans are established by the Compensation Committee using peer group and survey data and taking into account other factors, such as internal equity and competitive pressures affecting retention. The following table presents each named executive officer’s target bonus opportunity (on an actual and percentage of base salary basis) for fiscal 2014:


	FY14 Target		FY14 Target

Donald J. Rath		40		128,612

⁽¹⁾	Messrs. Brown and Seifert did not participate in the Executive Annual Incentive Plans in fiscal 2014.

In general, the award opportunities for fiscal 2014 were determined based on the relevant market data, desired market positions, the desired mix between cash and equity-based incentive pay, internal pay equity goals, and the role of the named executive officer.

At the time award opportunities are established, there is no assurance that the amount of the target awards will be realized. As explained below, each named executive officer must achieve threshold performance for each metric established in the named executive officer’s executive annual incentive plan to receive any payment for such metric. The payout under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan is also capped at different levels based on the relevant performance metric.

Executive Annual Incentive Plan Performance Measures and Target Setting: Executive Annual Incentive Plan performance targets are established at or about the beginning of each plan year. Our management develops proposed goals with reference to a variety of factors, including our historical performance, internal budgets, market and peer performance, and external expectations for our performance. The Compensation Committee reviews, adjusts as necessary, and approves the goals, the range of performance, and the weighting of the goals. Following the end of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee reviews our actual performance against the performance measures established in the fiscal year’s Executive Annual Incentive Plans (after making any appropriate adjustments to such measures for the effects of corporate events that were not anticipated in establishing the performance measures), determines the extent of achievement and approves the payment of annual cash incentives, if warranted.

For fiscal 2014, the Executive Annual Incentive Plan was funded by two primary measures: non-GAAP operating income and revenue. The primary funding metric is non-GAAP operating income. This metric was selected as we believe it is a significant indicator of shareholder value creation, and improving profitability was a strategic focus in fiscal 2014. It is also a metric that can be measured at various sub-business unit levels within our company. Any funding generated by the non-GAAP operating income achievement would be modified up or down based upon revenue achievement versus goals. Revenue was used as a secondary modifier in fiscal 2014 because revenue growth was considered to be a secondary strategic priority as our business underwent its organization changes as noted in the Executive Summary above.

The determination of achievement of the non-GAAP operating income and revenue metrics is formulaic, while the individual performance metric is determined based on a qualitative evaluation of the individual’s performance against pre-established objectives with input from our CEO. In rating the individual’s performance, the Compensation Committee gives weight to the input of our CEO, but final decisions about the compensation of our named executive officers are made solely by the Compensation Committee. Although the Compensation Committee has the discretion to adjust awards as appropriate, it did not exercise such discretion for fiscal 2014.

For the non-GAAP operating income metric, for every 1% achievement above target the initial funding of the named executive officer’s target bonus opportunity increases by 10%; for every 1% underachievement below target the funding decreases by 6%; there is no funding if the achievement is below 95%; and the funding is capped at 200% of target for achievement at or above 110%. For the revenue modifier metric, for every 1% achievement above target the initial funding amount increases by 2.5%; for every 1% achievement under target the funding decreases by 10%; there is no funding if the achievement is below 95%; and the modifier percentage is capped at 10% for achievement at or above 104%. The actual individual payouts are further modified based on the individual performance factor generally in the range of 0-140% based on the performance achievement against pre-established goals for the fiscal year. The following table summarizes the foregoing discussion of threshold, target and maximum performance levels and the relative funding levels at each level under the FY14 Executive Annual Incentive Plans:


	Non-GAAP Operating Income (%)		Revenue Modifier (%)		Individual Performance Modifier (%)		Total Payout as a Percentage of Target (%)
Threshold		70		-40		35		14.7
Target		100		0		100		100
Maximum		200		10		140		308

We used the above performance metrics because:

•

Over time, we believe that non-GAAP operating income and revenue measures have strongly correlated with stockholder value creation for Symantec;

•

the non-GAAP operating income and revenue measures are transparent to investors and are included in our quarterly earnings releases and supplemental materials;

•

the non-GAAP operating income and revenue measures are designed to balance growth and profitability; and

•

the performance goals used for the individual performance component align with our operational and strategic objectives.

Non-GAAP operating income and revenue performance targets were established based on a range of inputs, including external market economic conditions, growth outlooks for our product portfolio, the competitive environment, our internal budgets, and market expectations.

The individual award is determined based on an assessment of individual performance results and impact against both quantitative and qualitative expectations for the executive’s role.

An executive’s performance is evaluated based on both quantitative and qualitative results in the following area:

•

financial and operational goals for their area of responsibility and the entire company;

•

leadership qualities as well as functional competencies and knowledge for their area of responsibility; and

•

development and management of their team of employees.

Leadership skills are a common component to each of these objectives and are a significant factor in the assessment of individual performance. The executive’s willingness to contribute to cross-functional initiatives outside his or her primary area of responsibility, and the executive’s contribution to our company’s performance-based culture, are also extremely important aspects of the individual performance assessment.

The CEO evaluates the performance level of each named executive officer’s performance against the pre-determined goals following the end of fiscal year and then makes a recommendation to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee then reviews the CEO’s compensation recommendations for the other named executive officers, makes any appropriate adjustments, and approves their compensation.

Achievement of Fiscal Year 2014 Performance Metrics:

For fiscal 2014, our non-GAAP operating income target was $1,925 million and our revenue target was $6,949 million. The Compensation Committee determined that we achieved 93.9% of the non-GAAP operating income metric and 96.4% for the revenue metric. Since we did not meet the threshold level performance for the non-GAAP operating income metric (95.0% of target), the FY14 Executive Annual Incentive Plan for the named executive officers was not funded. For purposes of calculating achievement of these metrics, consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP operating income in our quarterly supplemental materials, foreign exchange movements were held constant at plan rates, pursuant to the terms of the plans. If we had achieved at least the threshold level of achievement for the non-GAAP operating income metric, the revenue modifier would have been (30%).

For fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee did not evaluate achievement of the individual performance metrics for Messrs. Gillett, Taylor and Rath because the FY14 Executive Annual Incentive Plans pool was not funded as a result of our underperformance with respect to the non-GAAP operating income metric as described above. Also, as noted below, Messrs. Brown and Seifert did not participate in the Executive Annual Incentive Plans since Mr. Brown’s role is interim CEO and Mr. Seifert joined our company less than a month before our fiscal year end. Our named executive officers’ fiscal 2014 annual incentive payout level by performance metric, total payout as percentage of target opportunity and total payout amounts are provided in the table below:

III.Equity Incentive Awards

The primary purpose of our equity incentive awards is to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders by rewarding the named executive officers for creating stockholder value over the long-term. By compensating our executives with equity incentive awards, our executives hold a stake in the Company’s financial future. The gains realized in the long term depend on our executives’ ability to drive the financial performance of the Company. Equity incentive awards are also a useful vehicle for attracting and retaining executive talent in our competitive talent market.

Our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) provide for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (including PRUs and PCSUs). For fiscal 2014, the equity incentive component of our executive compensation program consisted of PRUs and RSUs for all of our named executive officers and PCSUs for our former CEO (as described in more detail below, including under the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on pages 29 and 34, respectively). We also offer all employees the opportunity to participate in the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which allows for the purchase of our stock at a discount to the fair market value through payroll deductions. This plan is designed to comply with Section 423 of the Code. During fiscal 2014, five of the named executive officers participated in the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

We seek to provide equity incentive awards that are competitive with companies in our peer group and the other information technology companies that the Compensation Committee includes in its competitive market assessment. As such, we establish target equity incentive award grant guideline levels for the named executive officers based on competitive market assessments. When making annual equity awards to named executive officers, we consider corporate results during the past year, the role, responsibility and performance of the individual named executive officer, the competitive market assessment described above, prior equity awards, and the level of vested and unvested equity awards then held by each named executive officer. In making equity awards, we also generally take into consideration gains recognizable by the executive from equity awards made in prior years. Mercer provides the Compensation Committee with market data on these matters, as well as providing to the Compensation Committee summaries of the prior grants made to the individual named executive officers.

As discussed below, the Compensation Committee believes that for fiscal 2014, a mix of RSUs and PRUs (and, in the case of our former CEO, PCSUs) is the appropriate long-term equity incentive for named executive officers, and stock options are no longer granted to the named executive officers as a regular part of our annual executive compensation program. For fiscal 2014, approximately 77% of our former CEO’s target total direct compensation (sum of base salary, target annual incentive and grant date fair value of equity awards) was granted in the form of PCSUs. In addition, on average, 38% of our named executive officers’ (other than our current interim CEO, our former CEO, CFO, former acting CFO and former interim CFO) target total direct compensation was granted in the form of PRUs and approximately 30% in the form of RSUs. This mix of equity incentive awards reflected our philosophy to allocate an equal target value of PRUs and RSUs to our named executive officers (other than our CEO).

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): RSUs represent the right to receive one share of Symantec common stock for each RSU vested upon the settlement date, which is the date on which certain conditions, such as continued employment with us for a pre-determined length of time, are satisfied. The Compensation Committee believes that RSUs align the interests of the named executive officers with the interests of the stockholders because the value of these awards appreciates if the trading price of our common stock appreciates, and these awards also have retention value even during periods in which our trading price does not appreciate, which supports continuity in the senior management team.

Shares of our stock are issued to RSU holders as the awards vest. The vesting schedule for RSUs granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2014 provided that each award vests in four equal annual installments.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (PRUs): The Compensation Committee grants PRUs in furtherance of our pay for performance philosophy. Implementation of this program represents an important step taken by our Compensation Committee to continue to drive a pay-for-performance culture with a component directly linked to our total stockholder return over two and three-year periods. Unlike our restricted stock unit awards, the shares underlying the PRUs awarded for fiscal 2014 are eligible to be earned only if we achieve a threshold of non-GAAP EPS. Depending on our achievement of this metric, 0% to 133% of the target shares will be eligible to be earned at the end of fiscal 2015 and 2016, based on, and subject to further adjustment as a result of, the achievement of the TSR ranking for our company as compared to the S&P 500. If any target shares become eligible (the “eligible shares”) to be earned in fiscal 2015 and 2016 as a result of achievement of the non-GAAP EPS metric for fiscal 2014, then 50% to 150% of one-half of the eligible shares may be earned based on the achievement of the TSR goal for the two years ended April 3, 2015 and 50% to 150% of one-half of the eligible shares (plus any eligible shares not earned on April 3, 2015 if less than 100% of the TSR goal is achieved for the two-year period then ended) may be earned based on the achievement of the TSR goal for the three years ended April 1, 2016. Subject to certain exceptions (including acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of our company under the terms of the Symantec Executive Retention Plan, as amended), the award shall vest, if at all, only at the end of the third year of the performance period (i.e., fiscal 2016), and the named executive officer must be employed by us at the end of such period in order to vest in the award. The following table summarizes the foregoing discussion of threshold, target and maximum performance levels and payouts at each level:


	EPS Performance as a Percentage of Target (%)			EPS Payout as a Percentage of Target (%)			TSR Percentile Rank against S&P500		TSR Payout as a Percentage of Target (%)
Threshold Level Payout %		70	%		50	%		35th		50	%
Target Level Payout %		100	%		100	%		50th		100	%
Maximum Payout %		120	%		133	%		75th		150	%

For fiscal 2014, our non-GAAP EPS target under the PRUs was $1.89 per share. The Compensation Committee determined that we achieved 99% of this metric, resulting in 98% of the target shares becoming eligible to be earned based on achievement of the multi-year relative TSR performance goals under the PRUs. Pursuant to the terms of these awards, each NEO will be eligible to receive at least half of the eligible shares if he remains employed by Symantec through the last day of fiscal 2016 even if we fail to achieve those TSR performance goals, and could receive up to 150% of such shares, depending upon the degree to which we achieve of those goals and the same employment condition is met.

Below is the summary of our PRU performance metrics achievements since fiscal 2012. The PRU awards granted in fiscal 2012 finished the 3-year performance period at the end of fiscal 2014 resulting in an overall payout of 89% of the target award level.


	Non-GAAP EPS						2-Year TSR					3-Year TSR
Grant Year	Performance as % of Target			Eligible Shares as % of Target Shares			S&P 500 Percentile Ranking		Payout as % of Targets			S&P 500 Percentile Ranking		Payout as % of Targets			Overall Payout
Fiscal 2012 Award		99	%		97	%		67th		134	%		19th		50	%		89	%
Fiscal 2013 Award		108	%		112	%		17th		50	%		TBD
Fiscal 2014 Award		99	%		98	%		TBD

Performance-Contingent Stock Units (PCSUs) Beginning in fiscal 2013, the independent members of the Board approved PCSUs, a new component in our former CEO’s compensation that directly tied to increasing our stock price, which rewards our former CEO for providing direct value to our stockholders. For fiscal 2014, Mr. Bennett’s long-term equity compensation consisted exclusively of 782,414 PCSUs granted under the 2004 Plan, as compared to 115,000 PRUs, 115,000 RSUs and 450,000 PCSUs granted to Mr. Bennett during fiscal 2013. These grants were within the applicable annual limits on the size of awards under the 2004 Plan of 6,000,000 shares (1,200,000 RSUs) for new employees and 4,000,000 shares (800,000 RSUs) for existing employees, in each case after giving effect to the 2-for-1 stock split that went into effect in November 2004.

The PCSUs granted to Mr. Bennett in fiscal 2014 were designed to vest and settle, if at all, as follows: (i) one-third of the PCSUs shall vest following the fiscal year ended March 28, 2014 if the highest average closing stock price for any 60 consecutive trading days during such year (the “Average Closing Price”) exceeds $26.79; (ii) one-third of the PCSUs (plus any PCSUs that did not vest during the period described under (i) above) shall vest following the fiscal year ended April 3, 2015 if the Average Closing Price during the two fiscal years then ended exceeds $30.01; (iii) one-third of the PCSUs (plus any PCSUs that did not vest during the period described under (ii) above) shall vest following the fiscal year ended April 1, 2016 if the Average Closing Price during the three fiscal years then ended exceeds $33.61; and (iv) any shares that did not vest during the period described in (iii) above shall vest following the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 if the Average Closing Price for the 60 consecutive trading days ending on the final trading day of such fiscal year exceeds $37.64 (with proportional vesting possible following such fiscal year to the extent that the Average Closing Price for such 60 trading day period exceeds $31.57). In general, except as set forth below, vesting of the PCSUs would have ceased in the event that Mr. Bennett was no longer providing active service to the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof. However, the awards provided that Mr. Bennett was entitled to certain vesting benefits upon the involuntary termination of his employment without cause, upon his voluntary termination of employment with good reason, or upon a change in control of our company.

The stock price performance goals were established based on a TSR compound annual growth rate of 12%:


Performance Cycle	TSR			Goal
FY14		10	%	$	26.79
FY15		12	%	$	30.01
FY16		12	%	$	33.61
FY17 (catch up period)		12	%	$	37.64

In fiscal 2014, the Average Closing Price goal was not achieved so no PCSU awards were payable. However, all of the PCSUs were released to Mr. Bennett as a result of his involuntary termination on March 19, 2014.

The following table summarizes the number of shares granted in fiscal 2014, value of each award and the total value of the equity awards for each named executive officer as of the Grant Date (all values of restricted stock unit awards are based upon the closing price for a share of our common stock of $24.15 on May 20, 2013, except for one RSU grant to Mr. Taylor made on February 10, 2014 with a closing price of $20.89 per share).

(2)	The only equity grant Mr. Bennett received in fiscal 2014 was a PCSU grant.

Burn Rate and Dilution: We closely manage how we use our equity to compensate employees. We think of “gross burn rate” as the total number of shares granted under all of our equity incentive plans during a period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period and expressed as a percentage. We think of “net burn rate” as the total number of shares granted under all of our equity incentive plans during a period, minus the total number of shares returned to such plans through awards cancelled during that period, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period, and expressed as a percentage. “Overhang” we think of as the total number of shares underlying options and awards outstanding plus shares available for issuance under all of our equity incentive plans at the end of a period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period and expressed as a percentage. The Compensation Committee determines the percentage of equity to be made available for our equity programs with reference to the companies in our

market composite. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers the accounting costs that will be reflected in our financial statements when establishing the forms of equity to be granted and the size of the overall pool available. For fiscal 2014, our gross burn rate was 1.72%, our net burn rate was 0.76%, and our overhang was 16.47%.

Equity Grant Practices: The Compensation Committee generally approves grants to the named executive officers at its first meeting of each fiscal year, or shortly thereafter through subsequent action. The grant date for all equity grants made to employees, including the named executive officers, is generally the 10th day of the month following the applicable meeting. If the 10th day is not a business day, the grant is generally made on the previous business day. The Compensation Committee does not coordinate the timing of equity awards with the release of material, nonpublic information. RSUs may be granted from time to time throughout the year, but all RSUs generally vest on either March 1, June 1, September 1 or December 1 for administrative reasons. PRUs are currently granted once a year and, subject to certain exception, vesting occurs only after a three-year performance period.

Change of Control and Severance Arrangements: The vesting of certain stock options, RSUs, PRUs and PCSUs held by our named executive officers will accelerate if they experience an involuntary (including constructive) termination of employment under certain circumstances. For additional information about these arrangements, see “—Other Benefits—Change of Control and Severance Arrangements” below and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” below.

Other Awards

Certain business conditions may warrant using additional compensation approaches to attract, retain or motivate executives. Such conditions include acquisitions and divestitures, attracting or retaining specific or unique talent, and recognition for exceptional contributions. In these situations, the Compensation Committee considers the business needs and the potential costs and benefits of special rewards. For example, in fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee determined that it should offer special incentives to attract Mr. Seifert because it believed that we would need to offer him compensation that would neutralize the cash impact of his departure from his then-current employer. In this regard, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Seifert a one-time sign-on bonus of $1,800,000 as an inducement to accept our offer of employment. The sign-on bonus is subject to full or partial repayment by Mr. Seifert if he voluntarily leaves our company or is terminated for cause within three years of his start date as set forth in detail in his employment offer letter and as further described in the Summary Compensation Table on page 29. In addition, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Rath a one-time $50,000 cash bonus in recognition of his additional responsibilities as Interim Chief Financial Officer.

Other Benefits

All named executive officers are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan (which includes our matching contributions), health and dental coverage, life insurance, disability insurance, paid time off, and paid holidays on the same terms as are available to all employees generally. These rewards are designed to be competitive with overall market practices, and are in place to attract and retain the talent needed in the business. In addition, named executive officers are eligible to participate in the deferred compensation plan, and to receive other benefits described below.

Deferred Compensation: Symantec’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides management employees on our U.S. payroll with a base salary of $150,000 or greater (including our named executive officers) the opportunity to defer up to 75% of base salary and 100% of cash bonuses for payment at a future date. This plan is provided to be competitive in the executive talent market, and to provide executives with a tax-efficient alternative for receiving earnings. One of our named executive officers participated in this plan during fiscal 2014. The plan is described further under “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal 2014,” on page 36.

Additional Benefits: Symantec’s named executive officers typically do not receive perquisites, except in limited circumstances when deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. For example, an additional benefit available to named executive officers is reimbursement for up to $10,000 for financial planning services. In addition, Mr. Seifert also received reasonable reimbursement for certain relocation expenses associated with his move to the San Francisco Bay Area. The Compensation Committee provides certain perquisites because it believes they are for business-related purposes or are prevalent in the marketplace for executive talent. The value of the perquisites we provide is taxable to the named executive officers and the incremental cost to us for providing these perquisites is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. (These benefits are disclosed in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 29).

Change of Control and Severance Arrangements: Our Executive Retention Plan provides (and, in the case of PRUs and PCSUs, the terms of the PRUs and PCSUs, respectively provide) participants with double trigger acceleration of equity awards and, if applicable, become immediately exercisable, where equity vesting and exercisability is only accelerated in the event the individual’s

employment is terminated without cause, or is constructively terminated, within 12 months after a change in control of our company (as defined in the plan). In the case of PRUs, PRUs will vest at target if the change in control occurs prior to the first performance period, will vest as to eligible shares if the change in control occurs following the first performance period but before achievement is determined with respect to the second performance period, and will vest as to the sum of the eligible shares determined to be earned for the second performance period plus 50% of the eligible shares if the change in control occurs following the second performance period but before achievement is determined with respect to the third performance period.

We believe that the double trigger acceleration provision appropriately achieves the intent of the applicable plan without providing an undue benefit to executives who continue to be employed following a change in control transaction. The intent of the plan is to enable named executive officers to have a balanced perspective in making overall business decisions in the context of a potential acquisition of our company, as well as to be competitive with market practices. The Compensation Committee believes that change in control benefits, if structured appropriately, serve to minimize the distraction caused by a potential transaction and reduce the risk that key talent would leave our company before a transaction closes.

Following the end of fiscal 2012, the Compensation Committee conducted an ordinary course review of the change in control and severance arrangements applicable to our executive officers. Taking into account consolidation within our industry and the practices prevalent within our peer group, the Compensation Committee modified these arrangements in order to improve retention of our senior executives whose roles would likely be eliminated in connection with a change in control of our company. Specifically, our Executive Retention Plan was amended to provide for the payment of a cash severance benefit for the named executive officers equal to one times such officer’s base salary and target payout under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan applicable to such named executive officer under the same circumstances equity awards would accelerate under the Executive Retention Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee adopted the Symantec Corporation Executive Severance Plan, which provides certain severance benefits to our executive offers, including the named executive officers, in the event that such executive officers are involuntarily terminated other than for cause (as defined in the plan). Under the terms of this plan, eligible executive officers are entitled to receive a severance payment equal to one year of base salary. Payment of the foregoing benefit is subject to the applicable officer returning a release of claims. The Compensation Committee determined to modify these arrangements for the same reason it adopted our Executive Retention Plan.

In connection with his appointment to President and CEO in fiscal 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Stephen Bennett that provided him with certain benefits upon the involuntary termination of his employment under certain circumstances, including acceleration of vesting and severance payments in connection with a change of control. As stated above, our former CEO was terminated effective March 19, 2014. In accordance with his employment agreement, he received a cash severance payment equal to 1.5 times his annual base salary and target bonus, was granted acceleration of RSUs and reimbursement of COBRA premiums for eighteen months. He also received acceleration of PCSUs and PRUs in accordance with the terms in his PCSU agreement and PRU agreement, respectively. The value of these benefits is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. (These benefits are disclosed in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 29).

The change in control and severance benefits described above do not influence and are not influenced by the other elements of compensation as these benefits serve different objectives than the other elements. We do not provide for gross-ups of excise tax values under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Rather, we allow the named executive officer to reduce the benefit received or waive the accelerated vesting of options to avoid excess payment penalties.

Details of each individual named executive officer’s benefits, including estimates of amounts payable in specified circumstances in effect as of the end of fiscal 2014, are disclosed under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

SUPPLEMENTARY POLICIES AND CONSIDERATIONS

We use several additional policies to ensure that the overall compensation structure is responsive to stockholder interests and competitive with the market. Specific policies include:

Stock Ownership Requirements

We believe that in order to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders, our executive officers should have a financial stake in our company. We have maintained stock ownership requirements for our executive officers since October 2005. In July 2013, to further enhance the alignment between our executive officers’ and stockholders’ interests, the Compensation Committee further modified the stock ownership requirements to increase the minimum levels our Chief Operating Officer and President, Products and Services. For fiscal 2014 our executive officers were required to hold the following minimum number of shares:

•

CEO: 5x base salary

•

CFO, COO and President, Products and Services: 3x base salary

•

Executive Vice Presidents: 2x base salary

Stock options and unvested RSUs, PRUs and PCSUs do not count toward stock ownership requirements.

The executive officer is required to acquire and thereafter maintain the stock ownership required within four years of becoming an executive officer of Symantec (or four years following the adoption date of these revised guidelines). During the four-year transitional period, each executive officer must retain at least 50% of all net (after-tax) equity grants until the required stock ownership level has been met.

As of March 28, 2014, Mr. Taylor reached the stated ownership requirements for fiscal 2014. Mr. Seifert has until March 2018 and Mr. Gillett has until July 2017 to meet the stated thresholds. See the table below for individual ownership levels relative to the executive’s ownership requirement.


Named Executive Officer	Ownership Requirement⁽¹⁾ (# of shares)		Holdings as of March 28, 2014
Michael A. Brown		303,183		116,153
Thomas J. Seifert		109,146		—
Stephen E. Gillett		132,642		27,028
Scott C. Taylor		42,445		43,729

(1)	Based on the closing price for a share of our common stock of $19.79 on March 28, 2014

Recoupment Policies (Clawbacks)

Since fiscal 2009, we have included provisions within our executive annual incentive plans to the effect that we will seek reimbursement of excess incentive cash compensation if our financial statements are the subject of a restatement due to error or misconduct.

Insider Trading, Hedging and Pledging Policies

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all directors and employees from short-selling Symantec stock or engaging in transactions involving Symantec-based derivative securities, including, but not limited to, trading in Symantec-based option contracts (for example, buying and/or writing puts and calls). It also prohibits pledging Symantec stock as collateral for a loan.

In addition, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors, officers, employees and contractors from purchasing or selling Symantec securities while in possession of material, non-public information. It also requires that each of our directors, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and President, Products and Services conduct open market sales of our securities only through use of stock trading plans adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to sell and diversify their holdings in our stock over a designated period by adopting pre-arranged stock trading plans at a time when they are not aware of material nonpublic information about us, and thereafter sell shares of our common stock in accordance with the terms of their stock trading plans without regard to whether or not they are in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company at the time of the sale. All other executives are strongly encouraged to trade using 10b5-1 plans.

Tax and Accounting Considerations on Compensation

The financial reporting and income tax consequences to the Company of individual compensation elements are important considerations for the Compensation Committee when it reviews compensation practices and makes compensation decisions. While structuring compensation programs that result in more favorable tax and financial reporting treatment is a general principle, the Compensation Committee balances these goals with other business needs that may be inconsistent with obtaining the most favorable tax and accounting treatment for each component of its compensation.

Deductibility by Symantec. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we may not receive a federal income tax deduction for compensation that is not performance-based (as defined in the Section 162(m) rules) paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the next three most highly compensated executive officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer) to the extent that any of these persons receives more than $1,000,000 in nonperformance-based compensation in any one year. However, we strive to maximize the tax deductibility of our compensation awards since our philosophy is to provide the largest proportion of compensation as

performance-based. While the Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of awards as one factor in determining our executive compensation, it also looks at other factors in making its executive compensation decisions and retains the flexibility to grant awards or pay compensation the Compensation Committee determines to be consistent with its goals for Symantec’s executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible by Symantec for tax purposes.

Tax Implications for Officers. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes additional income taxes on executive officers for certain types of deferred compensation that do not comply with Section 409A. The Company attempts in good faith to structure compensation so that it either conforms with the requirements of or qualifies for an exception under Code Section 409A. Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on payments to executives of severance or change of control compensation that exceed the levels specified in the Section 280G rules. Our named executive officers could receive the amounts shown in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” (beginning on page 37 below) as severance or change of control payments that could implicate this excise tax. As mentioned above, we do not offer our officers as part of their change of control benefits any gross-ups related to this excise tax under Code Section 4999.

Accounting Considerations. The Compensation Committee also considers the accounting and cash flow implications of various forms of executive compensation. In its financial statements, the Company records salaries and performance-based compensation incentives as expenses in the amount paid, or to be paid, to the named executive officers. Accounting rules also require the Company to record an expense in its financial statements for equity awards, even though equity awards are not paid as cash to employees. The accounting expense of equity awards to employees is calculated in accordance with the requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. The Compensation Committee believes, however, that the many advantages of equity compensation, as discussed above, more than compensate for the non-cash accounting expense associated with them.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2014 were Geraldine B. Laybourne, David L. Mahoney and Daniel H. Schulman for the entire fiscal year, Michael A. Brown through March 19, 2014, and Robert S. Miller since March 20, 2014. None of the members of the Compensation Committee in fiscal 2014 were at any time during fiscal 2014 or at any other time an officer or employee of Symantec or any of its subsidiaries, except for Mr. Brown, who served as our interim President and Chief Executive Officer following his resignation from the Compensation Committee in March 2014, and none had or have any relationships with Symantec that are required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of Symantec’s executive officers has served as a member of the board of directors, or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee during fiscal 2014.

Amounts shown in this column reflect the aggregate full grant date fair calculated in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASC”) Topic 718 for RSUs and PRUs in fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014, and solely in the case of Mr. Bennett in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, PCSUs, each awarded under the 2004 Plan and 2013 Plan. Messrs. Brown and Seifert were not awarded equity in fiscal 2014 due to their March 2014 start dates. The grant date fair values for RSUs were determined based on the closing share price of our common stock on the date of grant. For a discussion of the valuation methodology used to value the PRUs awarded during the fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014 and PCSUs awarded during fiscal years 2013 and 2014, see footnotes 7, 16 and 19, respectively, to the Summary Compensation Table below.

††

Includes cash payout of $22.50 for fractional share from non-employee director stock award grant.

(4)	Mr. Seifert received a prorated salary of $30,000 based on his period of employment as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in fiscal 2014. His annual base salary is $720,000.

(5)	Represents a one-time sign-on bonus, which Mr. Seifert is obligated to repay all or a portion of the sign-on bonus if he voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause prior to March 17, 2017.

(6)	Represents relocation expenses incurred in fiscal 2014.

(7)

The PRUs awarded in fiscal years 2012-2014 are based on a three-year performance period. The PRUs are eligible to be earned if we achieve at least 70% of the target level non-GAAP EPS performance for fiscal years 2012-2014. Depending on our achievement of this metric, 0% to 133% of the target shares will be eligible to be earned at the end of the fiscal year of grant, based on, and subject to further adjustment as a result of, the achievement of the TSR ranking for our company as compared to the S&P 500 (the market-related component) in the subsequent fiscal years. If any target shares become eligible to be earned at the end of the fiscal year of grant as a result of achievement of the performance-related component, then 50% to 150% of one-half of the eligible shares may be earned based on the achievement of the TSR goal for the first and second fiscal years and 50% to 150% of one-half of the eligible shares (plus any eligible shares not earned at the end of the second fiscal year if less than 100% of the TSR goal is achieved for the two-year period then ended) may be earned based on the achievement of the TSR goal for the first, second and third fiscal years. Because the performance-related component is based on separate measurements of our financial performance only in the first year of the three-year performance period, FASC Topic 718 requires the grant date fair value to be calculated at the commencement of the performance period. Consistent with FASC Topic 718, the full grant date fair value for the market-related component, or the TSR adjustment, for the entire three-year performance cycle is included in the amounts shown for the year of grant and was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model (“Monte Carlo model”) on the date the PRUs were awarded in fiscal years 2012-2014.

The table below sets forth the grant date fair value determined in accordance with FASC Topic 718 principles established in fiscal years 2012-2014 for the performance-related component of these awards (i) based upon the probable outcome of the fiscal years 2012-2014 performance-related component as of the grant date, and (ii) based upon achieving the maximum level of performance under the fiscal years 2012-2014 performance-related component as of the grant date. Also set forth below are the grant date fair values pertaining to the market-related component or the TSR adjustment and significant inputs and assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model, determined upon grant in fiscal years 2012-2014, and which is not subject to probable or maximum outcome assumptions.

The PCSUs awarded to our former CEO in fiscal year 2014 were based on the achievement of specified performance metrics. The PCSUs were also subject to an underlying continued service vesting condition. The performance metrics for the PCSUs awarded in the fiscal year 2014 were based on the average 60-day trailing closing price of Symantec’s common stock (the “Average Closing Price”) in fiscal 2014, the two-year period consisting of fiscal 2014 and 2015 and the three-year period consisting of fiscal 2014, 2015 and 2016. Upon achievement and ratification by our board of directors, one-third of the shares underlying these awards were to be vested and released in the fiscal year following the applicable period if the Average Closing Price exceeded $26.79, $30.01, and $33.61 for the one-, two- or three-year periods, respectively. The price thresholds were not achieved during fiscal 2014; however, all of the PCSUs were released to Mr. Bennett as a result of his involuntary termination on March 19, 2014. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of PCSUs granted was determined to be to be $10.57 per share, using a Monte Carlo model.

The PCSUs awarded to our CEO in fiscal year 2013 were based on the achievement of specified performance metrics. The PCSUs were also subject to an underlying continued service vesting condition. The performance metrics for the PCSUs awarded in the fiscal year 2013 were based on the Average Closing Price over a three-year period beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Upon achievement and ratification by our board of directors, these awards were to be vested and released for the fiscal quarter when the Average Closing Price first exceeds $18.00, $20.00, and $22.00, respectively. The price thresholds were achieved during fiscal 2013. The first 150,000 PCSUs were released to Mr. Bennett during fiscal 2013, and the remaining 300,000 shares were released in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

The amounts shown in these rows reflect, in share amounts, the threshold, target, and maximum potential eligible shares to be earned (based on performance for the fiscal 2014 period) at the end of fiscal 2015 and 2016, based on, and subject to further adjustment as a result of, the achievement of the TSR ranking for our company as compared to the S&P 500, as further described in the CD&A section beginning on page 23. In May 2013 our named executive officers, except Messrs. Brown and Seifert were awarded a PRU under the 2004 Plan, eligible to be earned if we achieve at least 90% of the target level non-GAAP EPS performance for fiscal 2014, with a threshold award equal to 50% of the target eligible shares and a maximum award equal to 133% of the target eligible shares. For fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee determined that we achieved 98% of our non-GAAP EPS target under the PRUs, resulting in 90% of the target eligible shares becoming eligible to be earned based on achievement of the TSR performance goals under the PRUs. Pursuant to the terms of these awards, each NEO who was granted PRUs in fiscal 2014 will be eligible to receive at least half of the eligible shares if he remains employed by us through the last day of fiscal 2016 even if we fail to achieve those TSR performance goals, and could receive up to 150% of such shares, depending upon the degree to which we achieve of those goals and the same employment condition is met. For additional detail on the grant date fair value of the PRUs, see footnote 7 to the Summary Compensation Table above.

(5)	This RSU grant was granted under the 2004 Plan and vests in four equal annual installments on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, and is settled in shares on the vesting date.

(6)	For additional detail on the grant date fair value of the PCSUs, see footnote 16 to the Summary Compensation Table above.

For a summary of the terms of the FY14 Executive Annual Incentive Plan, see “Compensation Discussion & Analysis (CD&A)—Compensation Components—Executive Annual Incentive Plans” above. Details of acceleration of the equity awards described are disclosed under “Compensation Discussion & Analysis (CD&A)—Other Benefits—Change in Control and Severance Arrangements” above and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

(1)	Represents $48,490 reported under the “Salary” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

(2)	Amount reflected is not included in the Summary Compensation Table because the earnings are not preferential or above-market.

In fiscal 2013, certain management employees on our U.S. payroll with a base salary of $150,000 or greater, including each of the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Symantec Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan provides the opportunity for participants to defer up to 75% of base salary and 100% of variable pay each year. Variable pay includes all bonus and commission payments. Deferral elections must be made prior to the beginning of a calendar year and cannot be revoked as of the day immediately prior to commencement of that year. The plan is “unfunded” and all deferrals are general assets of Symantec. Amounts deferred by each participant under the plan are credited to a bookkeeping account maintained on behalf of each participant. The bookkeeping account under the plan will then be adjusted based on the performance of the measurement funds that have been selected by the participant. The measurement funds available under the plan are substantially identical to the investment funds available under our 401(k) plan. Each participant may change their measurement fund selections on a daily basis. The plan requires that benefits accumulated in the bookkeeping accounts for each participant not meeting a 5-year service requirement to be distributed to the participant following his or her termination of employment with us for any reason. If a 5-year service requirement has been met, accumulated benefits will be distributed according to the participant’s designated payment election. The plan permits us to terminate the plan and make such a distribution in the event of a change in control of Symantec. We intend to take such action in the event of a change in control of Symantec.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control

Set forth below is a description of the plans and agreements (other than the Deferred Compensation Plan) that could result in potential payouts to our named executive officers in the case of their termination of employment and/or a change in control of Symantec.

Symantec Executive Retention Plan

In January 2001, the Board approved the Symantec Executive Retention Plan, to deal with employment termination resulting from a change in control of the Company. The plan was modified by the Board in July 2002, April 2006, June 2007 and April 2012. Under the terms of the plan, all equity compensation awards (including, among others, stock options, RSUs and PRUs) granted by the Company to the Company’s Section 16(b) officers (including our named executive officers) would become fully vested (at target or to the extent of achievement for PRUs) and, if applicable, exercisable following a change in control of the Company (as defined in the plan) after which the officer’s employment is terminated without cause or constructively terminated by the acquirer within 12 months after the change in control. In the case of PRUs, PRUs will vest at target if the change in control occurs prior to the first performance period, will vest as to eligible shares if the change in control occurs following the first performance period but before achievement is determined with respect to the second performance period, and will vest as to the sum of the eligible shares determined to be earned for the second performance period plus 50% of the eligible shares if the change in control occurs following the second performance period but before achievement is determined with respect to the third performance period. Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the PRU award agreement, in the case that an executive’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of the executive’s death, total and permanent disability or an involuntary termination by the Company other than for cause (as defined in the award agreement) after the end of the first year of the performance period but prior to the end of the third year of the performance period, then the executive will be entitled to payment of a prorated number of PRUs based on the number of months in the three-year performance period during with the executive was employed by the Company, provided that the Company’s performance met at least the threshold level of non-GAAP EPS performance during the first year of the performance period.

In April 2012, the Compensation Committee revised the plan to provide for the payment of a cash severance benefit for our named executive officers equal to one times such officer’s base salary and target payout under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan applicable to such named executive officer in the circumstances described above (i.e., following a change in control of the Company after which the officer’s employment is terminated without cause or constructively terminated by the acquirer within 12 months after the change in control.)

Symantec Executive Severance Plan

On April 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee adopted the Symantec Executive Severance Plan, effective as of April 30, 2012, to provide severance benefits to specified officers of Symantec, including our named executive officers. The executive officers must meet certain criteria in order to participate in the plan, including, among other criteria, (i) the executive officer was involuntarily terminated from active employment other than for cause (as defined in the plan); (ii) the executive officer was not terminated due to the sale of a business, part of a business, divestiture or spin-off and offered employment upon terms and conditions substantially identical to those in effect immediately prior to such sale, divestiture or spin-off; and (iii) the executive officer is not entitled to severance under any other plan, fund, program, policy, arrangement or individualized written agreement providing for severance benefits that is sponsored or funded by Symantec.

Under the terms of the plan, the executive officer will receive severance payments equal to one times the sum of his or her base salary in effect at the time of his or her involuntary termination. The executive officer will also receive a one-time bonus of $15,000, minus taxes and other legally required deductions. The executive officer is also entitled to receive six months of outplacement services, including counseling and guidance. The executive officer is solely responsible for all COBRA premiums for his or her continuation coverage.

Payment of severance payments, one-time bonus payment and outplacement services pursuant to the Symantec Executive Severance Plan is subject to the applicable executive officer returning a release of claims against Symantec.

*	During fiscal 2014, Mr. Brown served as a director prior to his appointment as an executive officers of our company. The non-employee director compensation paid to him in fiscal 2014 is reported in the Summary Compensation Table above under the column captioned “All Other Compensation.”

(1)

Non-employee directors receive an annual retainer fee of $50,000 plus an additional annual fee of $15,000 (Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee) or $20,000 (Audit Committee) for membership on each committee. The chair of each committee receives an additional annual fee of $15,000 (Nominating and Governance Committee) or $25,000 (Audit Committee and Compensation Committee).

(2)	Includes cash payout of $22.50 for fractional share from stock awards granted to each non-employee director.

(3)	Amounts shown in this column reflect the aggregate full grant date fair value calculated in accordance with FASC Topic 718 for awards granted during the fiscal year.

(4)	Each non-employee director was granted 9,650 RSUs on May 10, 2013, with a per share fair value of $22.50 and a full grant date fair value of $234,978.

(5)

In fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no stock option grants to any person who served as a non-employee director. The outstanding stock options held by each non-employee director at 2014 fiscal year-end were: Mr. Brown (12,000), Mr. Mahoney (36,000), Mr. Miller (36,000) and Mr. Schulman (36,000).

(6)	Mses. Sands and Vautrinot were elected to the Board effective October 22, 2013. Accordingly, they received prorated compensation under the director compensation policies described below.

(7)

Mses. Sands and Vautrinot were granted a prorated award of 4,628 RSUs on October 22, 2013, with a per share value of $22.04 and a full grant date fair value of $102,001. A cash payout of $4.37 for fractional share from the stock award is reported in the “Fees Earned or Paid in Cash” column in the table above.

The policy of the Board is that compensation for independent directors should be a mix of cash and equity-based compensation. Symantec does not pay employee directors for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation. Independent directors may not receive consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from the Company. The Compensation Committee, which consists solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility to review and consider any revisions to directors’ compensation.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines: Since May 2007, the Compensation Committee has instituted the following stock ownership guidelines to better align our directors’ interests with those of our stockholders:

•

Directors must maintain a minimum holding of 10,000 shares of Company stock;

•

New directors will have three years to reach the minimum holding level; and

•

Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors may sell enough shares to cover their income tax liability on vested grants.

Annual Fees: In accordance with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board determined the non-employee directors’ compensation for fiscal year 2014 as follows:

•

$50,000 annual cash retainer

•

$15,000 annual fee for committee membership ($20,000 for Audit membership)

•

$25,000 annual fee for chairing a committee of the Board ($15,000 for chairing the Nominating and Governance Committee)

•

$100,000 annual fee for the Lead Independent Director/Independent Chairman

The payment of the annual cash retainer is subject to the terms of the 2000 Director Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, which allows directors to choose to receive common stock in lieu of cash for all or a portion of the retainer payable to each director for serving as a member. We pay the annual retainer fee and any additional annual fees to each director at the beginning of the fiscal year. Directors who join the Company after the beginning of the fiscal year receive a prorated cash payment in respect of their annual retainer fee and fees. These payments are considered earned when paid. Accordingly, we do not require them to be repaid in the event a director ceases serving in the capacity for which he or she was compensated.

Annual Equity Awards. Pursuant to a Non-Employee Director Grant Policy adopted by our Board, each non-employee member of the Board receives an annual award of fully-vested restricted stock under the 2013 Plan having a fair market value on the grant date equal to a pre-determined dollar value, which was $235,000. The restricted stock awards granted for fiscal year 2014 were granted on May 10, 2013 and are fully vested.

Symantec stock ownership information for each of our directors is shown under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” in Item 12 of this annual report.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information, as of July 1, 2014, with respect to the beneficial ownership of Symantec common stock by (i) each stockholder known by Symantec to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Symantec common stock, (ii) each member of the Board, (iii) the named executive officers of Symantec included in the Summary Compensation Table appearing in Item 11 of this annual report and (iv) all current executive officers and directors of Symantec as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Unless otherwise indicated below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable. Percentage ownership is based on 692,669,767 shares of Symantec common stock outstanding as of July 1, 2014 (excluding shares held in treasury). Shares of common stock subject to stock options and restricted stock units vesting on or before August 30, 2014 (within 60 days of July 1, 2014) are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of others.

Symantec has adopted a policy that executive officers and members of the Board hold an equity stake in the Company. The policy requires each executive officer to hold a minimum number of shares of Symantec common stock. Newly appointed executive officers are not required to immediately establish their position, but are expected to make regular progress to achieve it. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the minimum number of shares held by the executive officers and directors from time to time. The purpose of the policy is to more directly align the interests of our executive officers and directors with our stockholders. See “Stock Ownership Requirements” under the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of Item 11 for a description of the stock ownership requirements applicable to our executive officers.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table gives information about Symantec’s common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options, warrants and rights under all of Symantec’s existing equity compensation plans as of March 28, 2014:


	Equity Compensation Plan Information
Plan Category	Number of Securities to be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights			Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights		Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans (Excluding Securities Reflected in Column (a))

Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders		—	(2)		—		—
Total		26,458,720		$	4.40		89,366,137

(1)

Represents 67,128 shares remaining available for future issuance under Symantec’s 2000 Director Equity Incentive Plan, 209,599 shares remaining available for future issuance under Symantec’s 2002 Executive Officer’s Stock Purchase Plan, 48,102,450 shares remaining available for future issuance under Symantec’s 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 40,986,960 shares remaining available for future issuance as stock options under Symantec’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

(2)

Excludes outstanding options to acquire 252,952 shares as of March 28, 2014 that were assumed as part of various acquisitions. The weighted average exercise price of these outstanding options was $10.39 as of March 28, 2014. In connection with these acquisitions, Symantec has only assumed outstanding options and rights, but not the plans under which there were grants, and therefore, no further options may be granted under these acquired-company plans.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

Symantec has adopted a written related person transactions policy which provides for the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related person transactions.” The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews transactions that may be “related person transactions,” which are transactions between Symantec and any related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000, and in which the related

person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of the policy, a related person is any Symantec executive officer, director, nominee for director, or stockholder holding more than 5% of any class of Symantec’s voting securities, in each case, since the beginning of the previous fiscal year, and their immediate family members.

Under the policy, absent any facts or circumstances indicating special or unusual benefits to the related person, the following transactions are deemed not to be “related person transactions” (meaning the related person is deemed to not have a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction):

•

compensation to executive officers determined by Symantec’s Compensation Committee;

•

any transaction with another company at which a related person is a director or an employee (other than an executive officer) if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $2,000,000, or three percent of that company’s total annual gross revenues, provided that the transaction involves the purchase of either company’s goods and services and the transaction is subject to usual trade terms and is in the ordinary course of business and the related person is not involved in the negotiation of the transaction;

•

any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in Symantec’s proxy statement;

•

any transaction where the related person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of the Company’s common stock and all holders of the Company’s common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis;

•

any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by Symantec or the Symantec Foundation to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related person’s only relationship is as a director or an employee (other than an executive officer), if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed $120,000, or any non-discretionary matching contribution, grant or endowment made pursuant to a matching gift program;

•

any transaction where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids;

•

any transaction involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier, or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority; or

•

any transaction involving services as a bank depositary of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar services.

Under the policy, members of Symantec’s legal department review transactions involving related persons that do not fall into one of the above categories. If they determine that a related person could have a significant interest in a transaction, the transaction is referred to the Nominating and Governance Committee. In addition, transactions may be identified through Symantec’s Code of Conduct or other Symantec policies and procedures, and reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee determines whether the related person has a material interest in a transaction and may approve, ratify, rescind or take other action with respect to the transaction.

Board Independence

It is the policy of the Board and NASDAQ’s rules require listed companies to have a board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors, as defined under NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rules. Currently, each member of our Board, other than our interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael A. Brown, is an independent director and all standing committees of the Board are composed entirely of independent directors, in each case under NASDAQ’s independence definition. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. In addition, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationship exists which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and the Company with regard to each director’s business and other activities as they may relate to Symantec and our management. Based on this review and consistent with our independence criteria, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following directors are independent: Frank E. Dangeard, Geraldine B. Laybourne, David L. Mahoney, Robert S. Miller, Anita M. Sands, Daniel H. Schulman, V. Paul Unruh and Suzanne M. Vautrinot.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

We regularly review the services and fees from our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP. These services and fees are also reviewed with the Audit Committee annually. In accordance with standard policy, KPMG periodically rotates the individuals who are responsible for Symantec’s audit. Symantec’s Audit Committee has determined that the providing of certain non-audit services, as described below, is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG.

In addition to performing the audit of Symantec’s consolidated financial statements, KPMG provided various other services during fiscal years 2013 and 2012. Symantec’s Audit Committee has determined that KPMG’s provisioning of these services, which are described below, does not impair KPMG’s independence from Symantec. The aggregate fees billed for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 for each of the following categories of services are as follows:


Fees Billed to Symantec	2014		2013
Audit fees(1)	$	9,002,082	$	8,344,495
Audit related fees(2)		911,038		1,324,300
Tax fees(3)		121,450		74,216
All other fees(4)		91,511		107,408

Total fees	$	10,126,081	$	9,850,419

The categories in the above table have the definitions assigned under Item 9 of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, and these categories include in particular the following components:

(1) “Audit fees” include fees for audit services principally related to the year-end examination and the quarterly reviews of Symantec’s consolidated financial statements, consultation on matters that arise during a review or audit, review of SEC filings, audit services performed in connection with Symantec’s acquisitions and statutory audit fees.

(2) “Audit related fees” include fees which are for assurance and related services other than those included in Audit fees.

(3) “Tax fees” include fees for tax compliance and advice.

(4) “All other fees” include fees for all other non-audit services, principally for services in relation to certain information technology audits.

An accounting firm other than KPMG performs supplemental internal audit services for Symantec. Another accounting firm provides the majority of Symantec’s outside tax services.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent

Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.

All of the services relating to the fees described in the table above were approved by the Audit Committee.
