    Executive Summery

    The Companys goal for its executive compensation program is to attract and

    retain a talented, entrepreneurial and creative team of executives who will

    provide leadership for the Companys success in dynamic, competitive

    markets. The Company seeks to accomplish this goal in a way that is aligned

    with the long-term interests of the Companys shareholders. The

    Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program and

    determines the compensation for the Companys executive officers. The

    Company believes the compensation program for the named executive

    officers was instrumental in helping the Company achieve strong financial

    performance in the challenging macroeconomic environment in 2009.

    In 2009, each named executive officer was a member of the Companys

    executive team. Each named executive officer is expected to contribute as amember of the executive team to the Companys overall success rather thanmerely achieve specific objectives within that officers area of responsibility.

    Each named executive officer has been an employee of the Company for atleast 10 years and none has an employment agreement or severancearrangement.

    The Company believes the executive compensation program has served theCompany well. Therefore, no significant changes were made to the executivecompensation program in 2009. The executive compensation program for the

    named executive officers, other than Mr. Jobs, consists of three elements: long-term equity awards in the form of RSUs, annual performance-based cashbonus awards, and base salaries. Mr. Jobs total compensation consists of asalary of $1 per year.

    Other Projects:In 1986, Jobs founded the NeXT computer company. Although neXT garnereda strong following for its sophisticated machinery, the company was unable tocross over into the mainstream. NeXT was purchased by Apple in 1996,paving the way for Jobs to eventually become CEO.

    Jobs Returns to Apple:

    After the departure of Gil Amelia, Jobs became Apple's interim CEO. Jobsregained the confidence of the board of directors when design developmentsand the introduction of the iMac led to increased sales. Jobs ultimatelyreestablished Apple as one of the most cutting-edge tech companies. Withproducts such as the iPod and the I Phone, Apple became more of a householdname than ever before.

    Jobs and Disney:

    Steve Jobs was appointed Disney's board of director in 2006 after thecompany purchased Pixar Animation Studios, where he was formerlychairman and CEO. Jobs are currently on six months medical leave from Apple,at the same time he is up for re-election ass board member for Disney. Despitethe fact that Jobs seems to have already won the support ofDisney's currentCEO Robert Igor, critics dont understand how he can run the company whilehe's not well enough to run his own. Jobs are the largest single shareholder inDisney, with 7.4 per cent of the shares.

    It's Amazing How Quickly Things Change!

    Technology changes so quickly that none of these Apple produces

    were around when my parents were children. It's hard to keep up

    with all the changes because one minute they might be in, and the

    next minute they're out again.

    Origin:Steven Paul Jobs was born in San Francisco, California on February 241955. His biological parents, unwed college graduates Joanne Simpson and

    Abdul Fattah Jandali, had him adopted by a lower-middle-class couple fromsouth of the Bay Area, Paul and Clara Jobs.

    Young Steve grew up in a valley of apricot orchards that was already turninginto the world center of computer technology: Silicon Valley. It was notuncommon to see engineers fill their garages with all kind of electronic

    devices in that part of California. Steve Jobs was fascinated by these, andthats why, in 1969, he met with a computer whiz kid who shared hisinterests in electronics: Stephen Wozniak commonly known as Woos.Steve and Woos quickly became friends even though Woos was five yearsolder.

    Life Phases

    When Steve Jobs reached college age, he decided he would go to Reed

    College in Oregon. It was an expensive liberal arts college, way too priceyfor his modest parents; but they had to keep their promise to Stevesbiological mother, and therefore paid for the tuition. Steve only stayed at Reedfor one semester though, after which he dropped out. He then spent a lot oftime learning about Eastern mysticism and adopted strange diets, fasting oreating only fruits: it was his hippie period. He even traveled to India with afriend to seek enlightenmentat age 19.

    Major Contribution of Steve Jobs

    The Birth of Apple Computer: Steves own interest in computer design was limited, but he understood

    that his friends current project was an amazing feat of engineering.

    He started to get involved and after a few months, he convinced Woos tofound a company to sell his computer.

    So, on April 1, 1976, Apple was born. The name Apple Computer waschosen because they hadnt found anything better and because it was

    Steves favorite food.

    The Apple I:

    The first personal computer Jobs and Wozniak introduced was calledthe Apple I.

    The Apple I sold for $666.66 It was a fast success

    The Apple II:

    In 1977, Woos started working on the design of the Apple II, which wasa real breakthrough due to its color display, sound and expandability.More than two million were sold.

    At this time, Apple gave up its old logo and adopted its striped apple-with-a-bite logo.

    Apple became the company of personal computers. In 1983, the Apple Lisa was introduced, but wasnt a success.

    The Macintosh Project:

    Steve, who owned $7.5 million of Apple stocks, was worth $217.5million by the end of the day.

    He became one of the richest self-made Men in America.

    However, Steve wanted to be involved in the development of Applesfuture products.

    By early 1981, Steve took over the Macintosh project. He wanted the Macintosh to be a PC as easy to use as a toaster. 1984 saw the introduction of the Macintosh, the first commercially

    successful computer with a graphical user interface computer.

    NEXT:

    Around the same time, Jobs founded another computer company, NeXTComputer. The NeXT workstation was technologically advanced; however, itwas largely dismissed by industry as cost-prohibitive. Among those who couldafford it, however, the NeXT workstation garnered a strong following becauseof its technical strengths, chief among them its object-oriented softwaredevelopment system. Jobs marketed NeXT products to the scientific andacademic fields because of the innovative, experimental new technologies itincorporated.

    The Next cube was described by Jobs as an "interpersonal" computer, whichhe believed was the next step after "personal" computing. That is, ifcomputers could allow people to communicate and collaborate together in aneasy way, it would solve many of the problems that "personal" computing hadcome up against.

    Pixar:

    Pixar Animation Studios is an Academy Award winning computer animationstudio with the technical, creative and production capabilities to create a newgeneration of animated feature films, merchandise and other related products.Pixar's objective is to combine proprietary technology and world-classcreative talent to develop computer-animated feature films with memorablecharacters and heartwarming stories that appeal to audiences of all ages.

    Apple iPod a Major Contribution to Music Listening:

    Advancements in technology have completely revolutionized the way we alllisten to music. While most of us grew up listening to the radio and cassettetapes and cds. While we were happy to have them, they did of course havetheir limitations. A cassette typically held about twelve songs. When compactdiscs came along, they fit maybe sixteen total tracks. The first mp3 players

    allowed us to iPod music to a small player and transport it. But then came theiPod and music listening was revolutionized. Since arriving on the market in2001, it has simply dominated the way we listen to music.
