Fellow Stockholders:
You are cordially invited to attend Motorolas 2006 Annual
Stockholders Meeting. The meeting will be held on Monday,
May 1, 2006 at 5:00 p.m., local time at the Rosemont
Theater, 5400 N. River Road Rosemont, IL 60018.
2005 was a great year for Motorola in which we achieved record
results. We generated operating cash flow of $4.6 billion,
achieved record sales of $36.8 billion up
18 percent as compared to 2004 and solidified
our position in the wireless handset industry with an estimated
18 percent global market share. Our balance sheet, with
more than $10.5 billion in net cash, is the strongest it
has been in Motorolas history. Importantly, we
significantly advanced Motorolas vision of Seamless
Mobility, extended our design leadership and launched innovative
new products, led by the iconic RAZR V3, and solutions that
delighted our customers. Motorola is poised for continued growth
and success with an unrivaled portfolio of products and
technologies in our Mobile Devices, Government and
Enterprise Mobility Solutions, Networks and Connected Home
Solutions segments.
During the year, Motorola was awarded the National Medal of
Technology for its outstanding contributions to Americas
technological innovation and competitiveness over its more than
75-year history. The National Medal of Technology, established
in 1980 by an act of Congress, is the highest honor awarded by
the President to Americas leading innovators. The award
recognizes that since its founding in 1928, Motorola has stood
on the cutting edge of innovation in areas such as two-way
radios, cellular communication, paging, space flight
communication, semiconductors and integrated, digital enhanced
networks. As a result, the company has helped establish entirely
new industries and driven the phenomenal growth of portable and
mobile communications. Every Motorola employee is honored by
this award.
At this years Annual Meeting, in addition to electing the
12 members of our Board of Directors, we are asking our
shareholders to approve the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of
2006. The updated plan is an important part of our effort to
recruit, motivate and retain world-class employees. The proposal
is discussed in greater detail in the enclosed Proxy Statement.
I encourage each of you to vote your shares through one of the
three convenient methods described in the enclosed proxy
statement, and if your schedule permits, to attend the meeting.
I would appreciate your support of the nominated directors and
the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006. As always, I thank
you for your continued support of Motorola.
Edward J. Zander
Chairman and CEO,
Motorola, Inc.

PROXY STATEMENT
PROXY STATEMENT
VOTING PROCEDURES
The Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to be used at the
May 1, 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Your vote is
very important. This proxy statement, the form of proxy and the
2005 Annual Report will be mailed to stockholders on or about
March 15, 2006. The proxy statement and Annual Report are
also available on the Companys website at
www.motorola.com/investor.
Who Is Entitled to Vote?
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on
March 3, 2006 (the record date) will be
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any
adjournments thereof. On that date, there were issued and
outstanding 2,483,557,351 shares of the Companys common
stock, $3 par value per share (Common Stock), the
only class of voting securities of the Company.
A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be
available for examination at Motorolas Galvin Center, 1297
East Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, Illinois 60196 for ten days
before the 2006 Annual Meeting and at the Annual Meeting.
How Can I Vote?
There are three convenient voting methods:
|
|
|
|
|
Voting by Telephone. You can vote your shares by
telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number on your
proxy card. The deadline for telephone voting is
11:59 p.m., Eastern time on Sunday, April 30, 2006.
Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day. If you vote by
telephone you should NOT return your proxy card. If you are a
beneficial owner, or you hold your shares in street
name, please check your voting instruction card or contact
your broker or nominee to determine whether you will be able to
vote by telephone. |
|
|
|
Voting by Internet. You can also vote via the Internet.
The website address for Internet voting is also on your proxy
card. The deadline for Internet voting is 11:59 p.m.,
Eastern time on Sunday, April 30, 2006. Internet voting
also is available 24 hours a day. If you vote via the Internet
you should NOT return your proxy card. If you are a beneficial
owner, or you hold your shares in street name,
please check your voting instruction card or contact your broker
or nominee to determine whether you will be able to vote by
Internet. |
|
|
|
Voting by Mail. If you choose to vote by mail, mark your
proxy, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid
envelope provided. To ensure your vote is counted, receipt of
your mailed proxy is needed by Saturday, April 29, 2006. |
How Can I Change My Vote?
You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the
2006 Annual Meeting by either:
|
|
|
|
|
Sending written notice of revocation to the Secretary, Motorola,
Inc., 1303 East Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, Illinois 60196; |
|
|
|
Submitting another timely proxy by telephone, Internet or paper
ballot; or |
|
|
|
Attending the 2006 Annual Meeting and voting in person. If your
shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of
record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from
the holder of record to be able to vote at the meeting. |
How Many Votes Must be Present to Conduct Business at the
Meeting?
In order for business to be conducted, a quorum must be
represented at the Annual Meeting. A quorum is a majority of the
shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shares
represented by a proxy marked abstain or a proxy as
to which there is a broker non-vote will be
considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining a
quorum.
How Many Votes Am I Entitled to Cast?
You are entitled to cast one vote for each share of Common Stock
you own on the record date. Stockholders do not have the right
to vote cumulatively in electing directors.
How Many Votes Are Required to Elect Directors?
In February 2006, Motorolas Board of Directors amended the
Companys bylaws and Board Governance Guidelines to adopt a
majority vote standard for non-contested director elections.
These actions reflect Motorolas dedication to maintaining
the highest quality corporate governance practices and
commitment to address stockholder concerns. Because the number
of nominees properly nominated for the 2006 Annual Meeting is
the same as the number of directors to be elected at the 2006
Annual Meeting, the 2006 election of directors is a
non-contested election.
2
PROXY STATEMENT
To be elected in a non-contested election, a director nominee
must receive more For votes than Against
votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on
the director election since only votes For and
Against a nominee will be counted.
What Happens if an Incumbent Director Nominee Does Not
Receive More For Votes than Against
Votes?
Motorola is a Delaware corporation and, under Delaware law, if
an incumbent director is not elected, that director continues to
serve as a holdover director until the
directors successor is duly elected and qualified. To
address this potential outcome, in February 2006 the Board also
adopted a director resignation policy in the Companys
bylaws and Board Governance Guidelines.
Under this policy, if the votes cast For an
incumbent director nominee do not exceed the votes cast
Against that director, such incumbent director shall
promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chairman of the
Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee will review the
circumstances surrounding the Against vote and
promptly recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the
tendered resignation. In making this recommendation, the
Committee will consider various factors, such as listing
standard compliance, qualifications, contributions, length of
service and underlying reasons for the vote. The Board will
publicly disclose its decision, and the rationale behind it,
within 90 days following certification of the stockholder
vote.
How Many Votes Are Required to Adopt the Motorola Omnibus
Incentive Plan of 2006?
In order to adopt the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006,
an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is
required. For this proposal, an abstention will have the same
effect as a vote Against the proposal. Broker
non-votes will not be
voted for or against this proposal and will have no effect on
this proposal.
How Many Votes Are Required to Pass the Shareholder
Resolution?
In order to recommend that the Board consider adoption of the
shareholder proposal, an affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting is required. For the shareholder proposal, an
abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the
proposal. Broker non-votes will not be voted for or against the
proposal and will have no effect on the proposal.
Will My Shares be Voted if I Do Not Provide Instructions to
My Broker?
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street
name by a broker, the broker, as the record holder of the
shares, is required to vote those shares in accordance with your
instructions. If you do not give instructions to the broker, the
broker will be entitled to vote the shares with respect to
discretionary items but will not be permitted to
vote the shares with respect to non-discretionary
items (those shares are treated as broker
non-votes). The election of directors is a
discretionary item. The adoption of the Motorola
Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006 and the shareholder proposal are
non-discretionary items.
What if I Return My Proxy Card But Do Not Give Voting
Instructions?
All shares that have been properly voted whether by
telephone, Internet or mail and not revoked will be
voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your
instructions. If you sign your proxy card but do not give voting
instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted
as recommended by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors
recommends a vote For the election of all director
nominees, For the adoption of the Motorola Omnibus
Incentive Plan of 2006 and Against the shareholder
proposal.
What if Other Matters Are Voted on at the Annual Meeting?
If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual
Meeting for consideration, the persons named as proxies in the
enclosed proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those
matters for you. At the date we filed this proxy statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board of Directors
did not know of any other matter to be raised at the Annual
Meeting.
How Do I Vote if I Participate in the Companys 401(k)
Plan?
If a stockholder owns shares of Common Stock through the
Motorola 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan), the proxy
card also will serve as a voting instruction for the trustees of
that plan where all accounts are registered in the same name. If
shares of Common Stock in the 401(k) Plan are not voted either
by telephone, via the Internet, or by returning the proxy card
representing such shares, those shares will be voted by the
trustees in the same proportion as the shares properly voted by
other participants owning shares of Common Stock in the
401(k) Plan.

PROXY STATEMENT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
What Are the Boards Corporate Governance Principles?
The Board has long adhered to governance principles designed to
assure the continued vitality of the Board and excellence in the
execution of its duties. The Board has responsibility for
management oversight and providing strategic guidance to the
Company. In order to do that effectively, the Board believes it
should be comprised of individuals with appropriate skills and
experiences to contribute effectively to this dynamic process.
The Board is currently highly diversified; it is comprised of
active and former CEOs and CFOs of major corporations and
individuals with experience in high-tech fields, government and
academia. The Board believes that it must continue to renew
itself to ensure that its members understand the industries and
the markets in which the Company operates. The Board also
believes that it must be informed about the positive and
negative issues, problems and challenges facing Motorola and its
industries and markets so that the members can exercise their
fiduciary responsibilities to stockholders.
Which Directors Are Independent?
On February 23, 2006, the Board made the determination,
based on the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating
Committee and in accordance with the Motorola, Inc. Director
Independence Guidelines, that Mr. Fuller, Ms. Lewent,
Mr. Massey, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Negroponte,
Ms. Nooyi, Mr. Scott, Mr. Sommer,
Mr. Stengel, Mr. Warner, Mr. J. White and
Mr. M. White are independent. Mr. Zander does not
qualify as an independent director since he is an employee of
the Company.
How Was Independence Determined?
The Motorola, Inc. Director Independence Guidelines include the
NYSE independence standards and categorical standards the Board
uses in determining if a relationship that a Board member has
with the Company is material. The categorical standards adopted
by the Board are as follows:
Contributions or payments (including the provision
of goods or services) from Motorola to a charitable organization
(including a foundation), a university, or other not-for-profit
organization, of which a director or an immediate family member
of a director (defined to include a directors spouse,
parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons
and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law and anyone
(other than domestic employees) who shares the directors
home) is an officer, director, trustee or employee, will not
impair independence unless the following are applicable: the
contribution or payment (excluding Motorola matches of
charitable contributions made by employees or directors under
Motorolas or the Motorola Foundations matching gift
programs):
|
|
|
(i) is to an entity of which the director or the
directors spouse currently is an officer, director or
trustee, and such person held such position at the time of the
contribution, |
|
(ii) was made within the previous three years, and |
|
(iii) was in an amount which, in the entitys last
fiscal year prior to the year of the contribution or payment,
exceeded the greater of $300,000 or 5% of such entitys
consolidated gross revenues (or equivalent measure). |
Indebtedness of Motorola to a bank or similar entity
of which a director or a directors immediate family member
is a director, officer, employee or 10% Owner will not impair
independence unless the following are applicable:
|
|
|
(i) the director or the directors spouse is an
executive officer or an owner who directly or indirectly has a
10% or greater equity or voting interest in an entity (a
10% Owner) of such entity and he or she held that
position at any time during the previous twelve months, and |
|
(ii) the total amount of Motorolas indebtedness
during the previous twelve months is more than 5% of the total
consolidated assets of such entity in its last fiscal year. |
Other business relationships between a director or a
directors immediate family member, such as consulting,
legal or financial advisory services provided to Motorola, will
not impair independence unless the following are applicable:
|
|
|
(i) the director or the directors spouse is a
partner, officer or 10% Owner of the company or firm providing
such services, and he or she held such position at any time
during the previous twelve months, and |
|
(ii) the services that were provided during the previous
twelve months were in an amount which, in the companys or
firms last fiscal year, exceeded the greater of |
8
PROXY STATEMENT
|
|
|
$1 million or 2% of such companys or firms
consolidated gross revenues. |
This categorical standard does not include business
relationships with Motorolas independent registered public
accounting firm because those relationships are covered by the
NYSE independence standards.
Motorolas ownership of voting stock of a
company of which the director or the directors immediate
family member is a director, officer, employee or 10% Owner will
not impair independence unless the following are applicable:
|
|
|
(i) the director or the directors spouse is an
executive officer of that company, and |
|
|
(ii) Motorola is currently a 10% Owner of that company. |
The ownership of Motorola shares by a director or a
directors immediate family member will not be considered
to be a material relationship which would impair a
directors independence.
When applying the NYSE independence standards and the
categorical standards set forth above, Motorola
includes Motorola, Inc. and any of its subsidiaries, and the
Motorola Foundation. A complete copy of the Motorola, Inc.
Director Independence Guidelines is available on the
Companys website at www.motorola.com/investor.
What is Motorolas Relationship with MIT?
Motorola and the Motorola Foundation have had various commercial
and charitable relationships with the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and the MIT Media Laboratory. Motorola and the
Motorola Foundation made payments to MIT of approximately
$2.5 million in 2005, $5.5 million in 2004 and
$7.1 million in 2003. Two of our directors are associated
with MIT. Nicholas Negroponte is the Chairman Emeritus of the
MIT Media Laboratory, an academic and research laboratory at
MIT. Judy Lewent is a life member of the MIT Corporation.
The Board has concluded that Mr. Negropontes and
Ms. Lewents independence is not impaired based upon
the criteria set forth in the Motorola Director Independence
Guidelines and the nature of the Motorola/ MIT relationship. The
Motorola, Inc. Director Independence Guidelines state that a
directors independence could be impaired if a payment to a
non-profit organization, including universities, was in an
amount which, in the recipient organizations last fiscal
year, exceeded the greater of $300,000 or 5% of the recipient
organizations consolidated gross revenues (or equivalent
measure). For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, MIT had
total operating revenue (the closest equivalent to consolidated
gross revenue) of $2.03 billion, and five percent of that
amount is $101.5 million. Accordingly, Motorolas and
the Motorola Foundations combined payments and
contributions to MIT are significantly less than the
$101.5 million impairment threshold. Our payments in 2004
and 2003 were also significantly less than the 5% threshold.
MIT, one of the worlds leading research universities in
science and technology, has associations with many of the top
corporations around the world which, like Motorola, seek the
expertise of MIT on a wide variety of matters. Motorolas
relationship with MIT advances the Companys business
goals. Mr. Negroponte does not direct the relationship nor
does he vote as a member of the Motorola Board of Directors to
approve MIT relationships.
In reviewing Judy Lewents independence, the Board
considered her position as a life member of the MIT Corporation,
the board of trustees of MIT. She is one of about
75 multi-national leaders in higher education, business and
industry, science, engineering and other professions who are
members of the MIT Corporation. She is also a member of its
Executive Committee, which is responsible for general
administration and superintendence of the MIT Corporation.
Ms. Lewent is not an employee of MIT, does not have direct
responsibility or input on the Motorola/ MIT relationship and
does not vote as a member of the Motorola Board of Directors to
approve the Motorola/ MIT relationship. The Board has also
concluded that Ms. Lewent is independent based on the
criteria set forth in the Motorola, Inc. Director Independence
Guidelines and the nature of Ms. Lewents service to
MIT.
Are the Members of the Audit and Legal, Compensation and
Leadership and Governance and Nominating Committees
Independent?
Yes. The Board has determined that all of the members of the
Audit and Legal Committee, the Compensation and Leadership
Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee are
independent within the meaning of the Motorola, Inc. Director
Independence Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MATTERS
How Often Did the Board Meet in 2005?
The Board of Directors is responsible for supervision of the
overall affairs of the Company. The Board of Directors held
seven meetings during 2005. Overall attendance at Board and
committee meetings was 91%. All incumbent directors attended 75%
or more of the combined total meetings of the Board and the
committees on which they served during 2005, except
Mr. Fuller who attended 71% of the meetings.
How Many Directors will Comprise the Board?
The Board of Directors currently is comprised of
13 directors. Following the Annual Meeting, the Board will
consist of 12 directors. Mr. Massey is not standing for
re-election. In the interim between Annual Meetings, the Board
has the authority under the Companys bylaws to increase or
decrease the size of the Board and to fill vacancies.
How Many Executive Sessions of the Board Are Held and Who
Serves as the Presiding Director?
Independent directors of the Company meet regularly in executive
session without management as required by the Motorola, Inc.
Board Governance Guidelines. Generally, executive sessions are
held in conjunction with regularly-scheduled meetings of the
Board of Directors. The Board appointed Mr. Scott its lead
director on May 3, 2005. As the lead director,
Mr. Scott chairs meetings of the independent directors and
serves as liaison with the chairman with respect to matters
considered by the independent directors. In 2005, the
non-employee members of the Board met in executive session four
times.
Will the Directors Attend the Annual Meeting?
Board members are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of
stockholders as provided in the Motorola, Inc. Board Governance
Guidelines. All of our directors that stood for election at the
2005 Annual Meeting attended that meeting.

PROXY STATEMENT
During 2005, the annual retainer fee paid to each non-employee
director was $75,000. In addition, (1) the chairs of the
Audit and Legal and Compensation and Leadership Committees each
received an additional annual fee of $12,000, (2) the
chairs of the other Committees each received an additional
annual fee of $5,000, and (3) the members of the Audit and
Legal Committee, other than the chair, each received an
additional annual fee of $5,000. The Company also reimburses its
directors, and in certain circumstances spouses who accompany
directors, for travel, lodging and related expenses they incur
in attending Board and committee meetings.
On May 3, 2005, each non-employee director received options
to acquire 15,000 shares of Common Stock for $15.47 per share,
the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.
Non-employee directors do not receive any additional fees for
attendance at meetings of the Board or it committees or for
additional work done on behalf of the Board or a committee.
Mr. Zander, who is also an employee of Motorola, receives
no additional compensation for serving on the Board or its
committees.
2006 Director Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the annual retainer fee paid to
each non-employee director will be $100,000. The chairs of the
Audit and Legal and Compensation and Leadership Committees will
each receive an additional $15,000 annual fee. The chairs of the
other committees will receive an additional annual fee of
$10,000. In addition, the members of the Audit and Legal
Committee, other than the chair, each will receive an additional
annual fee of $5,000.
A director may elect to defer the above retainers in 5%
increments in the form of deferred stock units (e.g., 65%
cash/35% deferred stock units). The deferred stock units will be
paid to the director in the form of shares of Common Stock upon
termination of service from the Motorola Board of Directors.
Dividend equivalents will be reinvested in additional deferred
stock units subject to the same terms.
Beginning in 2006, an annual grant of deferred stock units in
the second quarter of the fiscal year will replace the annual
stock option grant. The deferred stock units will be paid to the
director in shares of Common Stock upon termination of service
from the Motorola Board of Directors. Dividend equivalents will
be reinvested in additional deferred stock units subject to the
same terms. The number of deferred stock units to be granted
will be determined by dividing $120,000 by the fair market value
of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant (rounded up to
the next whole number). As of January 1, 2006
non-employee directors
are no longer eligible to participate in the Motorola Management
Deferred Compensation Plan.
Director Retirement Plan and Insurance Coverage
In 1996, the Board terminated its retirement plan. Non-employee
directors elected to the Board after the termination date are
not entitled to benefits under this plan, and non-employee
directors already participating in the plan accrued no
additional benefits for services after May 31, 1996. In
1998, some directors converted their accrued benefits in the
retirement plan into shares of restricted Common Stock. They may
not sell or transfer these shares and these shares are subject
to repurchase by Motorola until they are no longer members of
the Board because either: (i) they did not stand for re-
election or were not re-elected, or (ii) their disability
or death. With the retirement of Mr. Massey, there will be
no directors who did not convert their accrued benefits in the
retirement plan and are entitled to receive payment of such
benefits in accordance with the applicable payment terms of the
retirement plan, including payments to his or her spouse in the
event of his or her death. Mr. Massey served on the Board
for eight or more years prior to the termination of the plan
and, accordingly, is fully vested and will be entitled to an
annual payment of $32,000 upon retirement from the Board.
Non-employee directors are covered by insurance that provides
accidental death and dismemberment coverage of $500,000 per
person. The spouse of each such director is also covered by such
insurance when traveling with the director on business trips for
the Company. The Company pays the premiums for such insurance.
The total premiums for coverage of all such
non-employee directors
and their spouses during the year ended December 31, 2005
was $2,995.

PROXY STATEMENT
Certain Related Transactions
In December 2005, Motorola acquired Wireless Valley
Communications, Inc. (WVI) for approximately
$36 million in cash. At the time of the acquisition,
Mr. Thomas J. Meredith, a director of Motorola, was also a
director of WVI and his family trust owned approximately 12% of
WVI (the Trust). The Trust received approximately
$4.4 million of the purchase price. Mr. Meredith did not
participate in the negotiations between Motorola and WVI with
respect to the transaction and the purchase price was negotiated
on an arms-length basis. Mr. Merediths
independence is not impaired by this transaction pursuant to the
criteria set forth in the Motorola, Inc. Director Independence
Guidelines.
What is the Process for Identifying and Evaluating Director
Candidates?
As stated in the Motorola, Inc. Board Governance Guidelines,
when selecting directors, the Board and the Governance and
Nominating Committee review and consider many factors, including
experience, in the context of the Boards needs; diversity;
age; skills and independence. It also considers ethical
standards and integrity.
The Committee considers recommendations from many sources,
including members of the Board, management and search firms.
From time-to-time, Motorola hires global search firms to help
identify and facilitate the screening and interview process of
director nominees. The search firm screens candidates based on
the Boards criteria, performs reference checks, prepares a
biography for each candidate for the Committees review and
helps set up interviews. The Committee and the Chairman of the
Board conduct interviews with candidates who meet the
Boards criteria. During 2005, the Governance and
Nominating Committee conducted a search and identified
Mr. Miles White as a director candidate. The Committee has
full discretion in considering its nominations to the Board.
PROPOSAL 2
ADOPTION OF THE MOTOROLA OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN OF 2006
The Board has adopted the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of
2006 (the 2006 Plan) and is recommending that
stockholders approve the 2006 Plan at the Annual Meeting. The
2006 Plan is integral to the Companys compensation
strategies and programs. The use of stock options and other
stock awards among technology companies is widely prevalent. The
2006 Plan will maintain the flexibility that Motorola needs to
keep pace with its competitors and effectively recruit, motivate
and retain the caliber of employees essential to the
Companys success.
The 2006 Plan contains the following important features:
|
|
|
|
|
The total shares reserved under the 2006 Plan includes an
additional 80 million shares, which is 3.2% of the
Companys common shares outstanding. This will enable the
Company to meet its annual needs over the next two to three
years. |
|
|
|
All shareholder-approved stock incentive plans currently in
effect, other than the employee stock purchase plan (as
described on page 14, collectively, the Prior
Plans) will be merged into the 2006 Plan. |
|
|
|
The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2006
Plan after the merger of the Prior Plans is approximately
139.4 million shares (based upon 80 million shares
requested and 59.4 million shares available under the Prior
Plans as of December 31, 2005), representing 5.6% of the
currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
|
|
|
Stock options and stock appreciation rights must be granted with
an exercise price that is not less than 100% of the fair market
value on the date of grant. |
|
|
|
Repricing of stock options and stock appreciation rights is
prohibited. |
|
|
|
The 2006 Plan has a ten-year term with a fixed number of shares
authorized for issuance. It is not an evergreen plan. |
In addition, contingent upon approval of the 2006 Plan by
stockholders, no further grants will be made under the Motorola
Compensation/ Acquisition Plan of 2000.
Background Information
To reward and retain employees in a manner that best aligns
employees interests with stockholders interests,
Motorola uses stock options as its primary long-term incentive
vehicle. The Board and the Compensation and Leadership Committee
of the Board that administers the Companys existing
employee equity incentive plans believe that stock options align
employees interests precisely with those of other
stockholders, because when the price of the stock declines from
the price at the grant date, the employees stock options
have no value. A
14
PROXY STATEMENT
wide range of employees, managerial and individual contributors,
participate in the Companys stock incentive plans. There
is a general grant of stock options annually and stock options
are also selectively used to attract new employees, for
retention of critical talent and for recognition of superior
performance.
In 2005, the Company granted a total of 40.7 million
options to its employees, including executive officers and
non-employee directors. The 2005 burn rate, defined as the total
options granted in a year divided by the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the beginning of the year, was 1.7%,
which is lower than the 2004 and 2003 burn rates of 2.4% and
3.1%, respectively. The Companys 2005 burn rate is lower
than the median of its technology peer group.
On May 3, 2005, the Committee granted 37.7 million
stock options to approximately 24,000 employees as part of
the Companys annual award of stock options. These options
vest and become exercisable in four equal annual installments,
with the first installment vesting on May 3, 2006.
Approximately 94% of the stock options covered by the
May 3, 2005 grant went to employees other than the
executives named in the Summary Compensation Table.
Motorola also grants restricted stock or restricted stock units
to encourage retention and reward performance. The granting of
restricted stock or restricted stock units is done on a limited
and selective basis.
A summary of the principal features of the 2006 Plan is
provided below, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the 2006 Plan that was filed electronically
with this proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Such text is not included in the printed version of
this proxy statement. A copy of the 2006 Plan is available from
the Companys Secretary at the address on the cover of this
document.
The 2006 Plan will permit awards of Stock Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights (SARs), Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units, Performance
Shares, Performance Cash Awards, Annual Management Incentive
Awards, and other Stock Awards and Cash Awards as described
below. Stockholder approval of the 2006 Plan will permit the
performance-based awards discussed below to qualify for
deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code).
Awards and grants under the 2006 Plan are referred to as
Benefits. Those eligible for Benefits under the 2006
Plan are referred to as Participants. Participants
include all employees and non-employee directors of the Company
and employees of any subsidiary in which the Company owns a 50%
or greater interest which the Company consolidates for financial
reporting purposes.
Shares Available for Issuance
As of December 31, 2005, approximately 61.6 million
shares were available for new grants under the Companys
existing stock incentive plans and there were approximately
272.2 million shares subject to outstanding benefits under
these and predecessor plans.
Contingent upon receipt of stockholder approval of this 2006
Plan, the Board of Directors has approved a merger of the
Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2003, the Motorola Omnibus
Incentive Plan of 2002, the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of
2000 and the Motorola Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of
1998 (collectively, the Prior Plans) into the 2006
Plan. Accordingly on or after the date the 2006 Plan is approved
by stockholders, the maximum number of shares reserved for
issuance under this 2006 Plan shall not exceed: (a) the
80 million shares reserved for issuance under this 2006
Plan, plus (b) the number of shares approved and available
for grant under the Prior Plans as of the date of such
stockholder approval, plus (c) any shares that become available
for issuance pursuant to the reusage provisions discussed below.
As of December 31, 2005, there were approximately
59.4 million shares available to be granted under the Prior
Plans.
In addition, contingent upon approval of the 2006 Plan by
stockholders, Management is recommending that no further grants
be made under the Motorola Compensation/ Acquisition Plan of
2000. As of December 31, 2005, 2.2 million shares were
available to be granted under this plan.
Administration and Eligibility
The 2006 Plan will be administered by a Committee of the Board
(the Committee) consisting of two or more directors,
each of whom will satisfy the requirements: (1) established
for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for
exemption under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), (2) for outside
directors acting under plans intended to
15
PROXY STATEMENT
qualify for exemption under Section 162(m) of the Code, and
(3) established by the New York Stock Exchange. The
Committee will approve the aggregate Benefits and the individual
Benefits for the most senior elected officers and non-employee
directors. The Committee may delegate some of its authority
under the 2006 Plan in accordance with the terms of the 2006
Plan.
No Participant may receive in any calendar
year: (i) Stock Options relating to more than
3 million shares, (ii) Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units relating to more than 1.5 million shares,
(iii) SARs relating to more than 3 million shares,
(iv) Performance Shares relating to more than
1.5 million shares, or (v) Deferred Stock Units
relating to more than 50,000 shares. No non-employee director
may receive in any calendar year (i) Stock Options relating
to more than 50,000 shares, or (ii) Deferred Stock
Units relating to more than 50,000 shares. (Each of the above
limits is subject to the adjustment provisions discussed below).
Benefits
The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Options to
Participants (Optionees), which may be either
Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) or Nonqualified Stock
Options (NSOs). NSOs and ISOs are collectively
referred to as Stock Options. The exercise price of
any Stock Option must be at least equal to the fair market value
of the shares on the date of the grant. At the time of grant,
the Committee in its sole discretion will determine when Options
are exercisable and when they expire, provided the term cannot
exceed 10 years.
For purposes of the 2006 Plan, fair market value shall be
determined in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable,
or as required by applicable law or regulation. The 2006 Plan
prohibits repricing of Stock Options.
Payment for shares purchased upon exercise of a Stock Option
must be made in full at the time of purchase. Payment may be
made: (a) in cash, (b) by the transfer to the Company
of shares owned by the Participant having a fair market value on
the date of exercise equal to the option exercise price (or
certification of ownership of such shares), (c) to the
extent permitted by applicable law, by delivery of a properly
executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions
to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of
sale proceeds from the option shares or loan proceeds to pay the
exercise price and any withholding taxes due to the Company, or
(d) in such other manner as may be authorized by the
Committee.
The Committee has the authority to grant SARs to Participants
and to determine the number of shares subject to each SAR, the
term of the SAR, the time or times at which the SAR may be
exercised, and all other terms and conditions of the SAR. A SAR
is a right, denominated in shares, to receive, upon exercise of
the right, in whole or in part, without payment to the Company,
an amount, payable in shares, in cash or a combination thereof,
that is equal to: (i) the fair market value of Common Stock
on the date of exercise of the right, minus (ii) the fair
market value of Common Stock on the date of grant of the right,
multiplied by the number of shares for which the right is
exercised. Except with respect to SARs issued in substitution
for Stock Options (see the following paragraph), the exercise
price of any SAR must be at least equal to the fair market value
of the shares on the date of the grant. The 2006 Plan prohibits
repricing of SARs.
The Committee also may, in its discretion, substitute SARs which
can be settled only in Common Stock for outstanding Stock
Options. The terms and conditions of any substitute SAR shall be
substantially the same as those applicable to the Stock Option
that it replaces and the term of the substitute SAR shall not
exceed the term of the Stock Option that it replaces.

|
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units |
Restricted Stock consists of shares which are transferred or
sold by the Company to a Participant, but are subject to
substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale
or other transfer by the Participant. Restricted Stock Units are
the right to receive shares at a future date after vesting upon
the attainment of certain conditions and restrictions. The
Committee determines the eligible Participants to whom, and the
time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units will be made, the number of shares or units to be
granted, the price to be paid, if any, the time or times within
which the shares covered by such grants will be subject to
forfeiture, the time or times at which the restrictions will
terminate, and all other terms and conditions of the grants.
Restrictions or conditions could include, but are not limited
to, the attainment of performance goals (as described below),
contin-
16
PROXY STATEMENT
uous service with the Company, the passage of time or other
restrictions or conditions. Awards of Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units may include the right to be credited with
dividends or dividend equivalents.
Deferred Stock Units provide a Participant a vested right to
receive shares in lieu of other compensation at termination of
employment or service or at a specific future designated date.
Deferred Stock Units may include the right to be credited with
dividend equivalents in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the units.
A Participant who is granted Performance Shares has the right to
receive shares or cash or a combination of shares and cash equal
to the fair market value of such shares at a future date in
accordance with the terms of such grant and upon the attainment
of performance goals specified by the Committee for a
performance period of at least 12 months. The Committee
may, in its discretion, make a cash payment equal to the fair
market value of shares of Common Stock otherwise required to be
issued to a Participant pursuant to a Performance Share award.
A Participant who is granted a Performance Cash Award has the
right to receive a payment in cash upon the attainment of
performance goals specified by the Committee for a performance
period of at least 12 months. The Committee may substitute
actual shares of Common Stock for the cash payment otherwise
required to be made pursuant to a Performance Cash Award.
Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance
Shares, Performance Cash Awards and other incentives under the
2006 Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance
goals relating to one or more business criteria within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, including, but not
limited to: cash flow; cost; ratio of debt to debt plus equity;
profit before tax; economic profit; earnings before interest and
taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization; earnings per share; operating earnings; economic
value added; ratio of operating earnings to capital spending;
free cash flow; net profit; net sales; sales growth; price of
the Common Stock; return on net assets, equity or
stockholders equity; market share; or total return to
stockholders (Performance Criteria).
Any Performance Criteria may be used to measure the performance
of the Company as a whole or any business unit of the Company
and may be measured relative to a peer group or index.
Performance Criteria shall be calculated in accordance with
(a) the Companys financial statements (including
without limitation the Companys consolidated
earnings before income taxes as defined in the following
section), (b) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or
(c) under an objective methodology established by the
Committee prior to the issuance of an award which is
consistently applied.
|
|
|
Annual Management Incentive Awards |
The Committee has the authority to grant Management Incentive
Awards to designated executive officers of the Company or any
subsidiary.
Management Incentive Awards will be paid out of an incentive
pool equal to five percent of the Companys
consolidated earnings before income taxes for each
calendar year. The Committee will allocate an incentive pool
percentage to each designated executive officer for each
calendar year. In no event, may the incentive pool percentage
for any one executive officer exceed 30% of the total pool. For
purposes of the 2006 Plan, consolidated earnings before
income taxes will mean the consolidated earnings before
income taxes of the Company, computed in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, but shall exclude the
effects of the following items, if and only if, such items are
separately identified in the Companys quarterly earnings
releases: (i) extraordinary, unusual, and/or nonrecurring
items of gain or loss, (ii) gains or losses on the
disposition of a business or investment, (iii) changes in
tax or accounting regulations or laws, or (iv) the effect
of a merger or acquisition. The executive officers
incentive award then will be determined by the Committee based
on the executive officers allocated portion of the
incentive pool subject to adjustment in the sole discretion of
the Committee. In no event may the portion of the incentive pool
allocated to an executive officer who is subject to
Section 162(m) of the Code be increased in any way,
including as a result of the reduction of any other executive
officers allocated portion.
The Committee may award shares of Common Stock to Participants
without payment therefore as additional compensation for service
to the Company
17
PROXY STATEMENT
or a subsidiary. Stock awards may be subject to other terms and
conditions, which may vary from time to time and among
employees, as the Committee determines to be appropriate.
A cash award consists of a monetary payment made by the Company
to an employee as additional compensation for his or her
services to the Company or a subsidiary. Cash awards may be
subject to other terms and conditions, which may vary from time
to time and among employees, as the Committee determines to be
appropriate.
Amendment of the 2006 Plan
The Board or the Committee has the right and power to amend the
2006 Plan, provided, however, that neither the Board nor the
Committee may amend the 2006 Plan in a manner which would impair
or adversely affect the rights of the holder of a Benefit
without the holders consent, except that the Committee
may, in its discretion, substitute SARs which can be settled
only in stock for outstanding Stock Options without a
Participants consent. The Company shall obtain stockholder
approval of any amendment of the 2006 Plan to the extent
necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations or stock
exchange rules.
Termination of the 2006 Plan
The Board may terminate the 2006 Plan at any time. The Plan is
scheduled to terminate on February 23, 2016. Termination
will not in any manner impair or adversely affect any Benefit
outstanding at the time of termination.
Committees Right to Modify Benefits
The Committee may grant Benefits on terms and conditions
different than those specified in the 2006 Plan to comply with
the laws and regulations of any foreign jurisdiction, or to make
the Benefits more effective under such laws and regulations.
The Committee may permit or require a Participant to have
amounts or shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be paid
or delivered to the Participant as a result of the exercise or
settlement of an award under the 2006 Plan credited to a
deferred compensation or stock unit account established for the
Participant by the Committee on the Companys books of
account.
Change in Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below),
all outstanding Stock Options and SARs shall become vested and
exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted
Stock Units shall lapse, all performance goals shall be deemed
achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions
met, all Performance Shares shall be delivered, all Performance
Cash Awards, Deferred Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units
shall be paid out as promptly as practicable, all Annual
Management Incentive Awards shall be paid out at target levels
(or earned levels, if greater) and all other terms and
conditions deemed met, and all Other Stock or Cash Awards shall
be delivered or paid. The treatment of outstanding Benefits set
forth above is referred to herein as Accelerated
Treatment. Accelerated Treatment shall not apply if and to
the extent that such Benefits are assumed by the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or are replaced with an award
that preserves the value of the award existing at the time of
the Change in Control and provides for subsequent payout in
accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to the
original Benefit; provided, however, that with respect to any
awards that are assumed or replaced, such assumed or replaced
awards must provide for the Accelerated Treatment with respect
to any Participant that is involuntarily terminated (for a
reason other than Cause) or quits for Good
Reason within 24 months of the Change in Control.
Any payment required by the preceding paragraph to a
specified employee as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code will be suspended for
six months from the Change in Control to the extent necessary to
comply with Section 409A of the Code.
For purposes of the 2006 Plan, the term Change in
Control is defined as: (i) any change in the person
or group that possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to
direct or cause the direction of the management and the policies
of the Company, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract or otherwise; (ii) the acquisition,
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing at least 20% of the combined voting power of the
outstanding securities of the Company (other than by the
Company, or any employee benefit plan of the Company);
(iii) the consummation of certain mergers and
consolidations involving the Company; (iv) the consummation
of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the Companys assets; (v) the approval of liquidation
or dissolution of the Company by its stockholders; and
(vi) a change in the majority of the Board of the Company
in existence prior to the
18
PROXY STATEMENT
first public announcement relating to any cash tender offer,
exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of
assets, proxy or consent solicitation (other than by the Board
of the Company), contested election or substantial stock
accumulation.
For purposes of the 2006 Plan, the term Cause shall
mean, with respect to any Participant, (i) the
Participants conviction of any criminal violation
involving dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust, or (ii) the
Participants willful engagement in gross misconduct in the
performance of the Participants duties that materially
injures the Company or a subsidiary.
For purposes of the 2006 Plan, the term Good Reason
shall mean, with respect to any Participant, without such
Participants written consent, (i) the Participant is
assigned duties materially inconsistent with his position,
duties, responsibilities and status with the Company or a
subsidiary during the 90-day period immediately preceding a
Change in Control, or the Participants position,
authority, duties or responsibilities are materially diminished
from those in effect during the 90-day period immediately
preceding a Change in Control (whether or not occurring solely
as a result of the Company ceasing to be a publicly traded
entity), (ii) the Company reduces the Participants
annual base salary or target incentive opportunity under the
Companys annual incentive plan, such target incentive
opportunity as in effect during the 90-day period immediately
prior to the Change in Control, or as the same may be increased
from time to time, unless such target incentive opportunity is
replaced by a substantially equivalent substitute opportunity,
(iii) the Company or a subsidiary requires the Participant
regularly to perform his duties of employment beyond a
50 mile radius from the location of the Participants
employment immediately prior to the Change in Control, or
(iv) the Company purports to terminate the
Participants employment other than pursuant to a notice of
termination which indicates the Participants employment
has been terminated for Cause (as defined above) and
sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
Participants employment.
Adjustments
If there is any change in the number, class, market price or
terms of the Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock
split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
spin-off, disaffiliation of a subsidiary, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, stock rights offering or other similar event
or any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock
other than a regular cash dividend, the Committee shall make
such substitution or adjustment in the number of or class of
shares which may be issued under the 2006 Plan in the aggregate
or to any one Participant in any calendar year and in the
number, class, price or terms of shares subject to outstanding
awards granted under the 2006 Plan as it deems appropriate.
In direct connection with the sale, lease, distribution to
stockholders, outsourcing arrangement or any other type of asset
transfer or transfer of any portion of a facility or any portion
of a discrete organizational unit of the Company or a
subsidiary, the Committee may authorize the assumption or
replacement of affected Participants awards by the
spun-off facility or organization or by the entity that controls
the spun-off facility or organizational unit following
disaffiliation.
In the event of any merger, consolidation, or reorganization of
the Company with or into another corporation which results in
the Companys outstanding Common Stock being converted into
or exchanged for different securities, cash, or other property,
there shall be substituted on an equitable basis as determined
by the Committee, for each share of Common Stock subject to a
Benefit, the number and kind of shares of stock, other
securities, cash, or other property to which holders of Common
Stock of the Company are entitled pursuant to the transaction.
|
|
|
Substitution and Assumption of Benefits |
Either the Board or the Committee may authorize the issuance of
Benefits in connection with the assumption of, or substitution
for, outstanding benefits previously granted to individuals who
become employees of the Company or any subsidiary as the result
of any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock,
or reorganization other than a Change in Control, upon such
terms and conditions as it deems appropriate. To the extent
permitted by Section 303A.08 of the Corporate Governance
Standards of the New York Stock Exchange, any substitute awards
granted under the 2006 Plan shall not count against the share
limitations set forth herein.
If a Stock Option granted under the 2006 Plan, the Prior Plans
or the Motorola Share Option Plan of 1996 (the 1996
Plan) expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled
without having been fully exercised or if Restricted Stock,
Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units, Performance Shares
or
19
PROXY STATEMENT
SARs granted under the 2006 Plan, the Prior Plans or the 1996
Plan are forfeited or terminated without the issuance of all of
the shares subject thereto, the shares covered by such Benefits
will again be available for use under the 2006 Plan (to the
extent permitted under the terms of the Prior Plans or the 1996
Plan if the original award occurred under a such Plan). Shares
covered by a Benefit granted under the 2006 Plan or the Prior
Plans will not be counted as used unless and until they are
actually issued and delivered to a Participant. Any shares of
Common Stock covered by a SAR shall be counted as used only to
the extent shares are actually issued to the Participant upon
exercise of the SAR. Shares exchanged by an optionee as full or
partial payment of the exercise price under any stock option
exercised under the 2006 Plan, shares withheld to pay
withholding taxes in connection with the exercise or payment of
a Benefit will not be counted as used. Shares covered by a
Benefit that is settled in cash will not be counted as used.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The Company has been advised by counsel that the federal income
tax consequences as they relate to Benefits are as follows:
An Optionee does not generally recognize taxable income upon the
grant or upon the exercise of an ISO. Upon the sale of ISO
shares, the Optionee recognizes income in an amount equal to the
difference, if any, between the exercise price of the ISO shares
and the fair market value of those shares on the date of sale.
The income is taxed at long-term capital gains rates if the
Optionee has not disposed of the stock within two years after
the date of the grant of the ISO and has held the shares for at
least one year after the date of exercise and the Company is not
entitled to a federal income tax deduction. The holding period
requirements are waived when an Optionee dies.
The exercise of an ISO may in some cases trigger liability for
the alternative minimum tax.
If an Optionee sells ISO shares before having held them for at
least one year after the date of exercise and two years after
the date of grant (a disqualifying disposition), the
Optionee recognizes ordinary income to the extent of the lesser
of: (i) the gain realized upon the sale; or (ii) the
difference between the exercise price and the fair market value
of the shares on the date of exercise. Any additional gain is
treated as long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon
how long the Optionee has held the ISO shares prior to
disposition. In the year of a disqualifying disposition, the
Company receives a federal income tax deduction in an amount
equal to the ordinary income that the Optionee recognizes as a
result of the disposition.
An Optionee does not recognize taxable income upon the grant of
an NSO. Upon the exercise of such a Stock Option, the Optionee
recognizes ordinary income to the extent the fair market value
of the shares received upon exercise of the NSO on the date of
exercise exceeds the exercise price. The Company receives an
income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income
that the Optionee recognizes upon the exercise of the Stock
Option.
A Participant who receives an award of Restricted Stock does not
generally recognize taxable income at the time of the award.
Instead, the Participant recognizes ordinary income in the first
taxable year in which his or her interest in the shares becomes
either: (i) freely transferable; or (ii) no longer
subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. The amount of taxable
income is equal to the fair market value of the shares less the
cash, if any, paid for the shares.
A Participant may elect to recognize income at the time he or
she receives Restricted Stock in an amount equal to the fair
market value of the Restricted Stock (less any cash paid for the
shares) on the date of the award.
The Company receives a compensation expense deduction in an
amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the
Participant in the taxable year in which restrictions lapse (or
in the taxable year of the award if, at that time, the
Participant had filed a timely election to accelerate
recognition of income).
In the case of an exercise of an SAR or an award of Restricted
Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units, Performance Shares, or
Common Stock or cash, the Participant will generally recognize
ordinary income in an amount equal to any cash received and the
fair market value of any shares received on the date of payment
or delivery. In that taxable year, the Company will receive a
federal income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary
income which the Participant has recognized.

PROXY STATEMENT
Million Dollar Deduction Limit
The Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000
that is paid to an individual who, on the last day of the
taxable year, is either the Companys chief executive
officer or is among one of the four other most
highly-compensated officers for that taxable year as reported in
the Companys proxy statement. The limitation on deductions
does not apply to certain types of compensation, including
qualified performance-based compensation. The Company believes
that Benefits in the form of Stock Options, Performance Shares,
Performance Cash Awards, SARs, performance-based Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Units and cash payments under
Management Incentive Awards constitute qualified
performance-based compensation and, as such, will be exempt from
the $1,000,000 limitation on deductible compensation.
Miscellaneous
A new benefits table is not provided because no grants have been
made under the 2006 Plan and all Benefits are discretionary. On
March 3, 2006, the closing price of the Common Stock was
$21.98.
Approval by Stockholders
In order to be adopted, the 2006 Plan must be approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares
represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
ADOPTION OF THE MOTOROLA OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN OF 2006. UNLESS
OTHERWISE INDICATED ON THE PROXY, THE SHARES WILL BE VOTED
FOR ADOPTION OF THE MOTOROLA OMNIBUS INCENTIVE
PLAN OF 2006.
PROPOSAL 3
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL RE: REDEEM OR VOTE POISON PILL
For reasons stated below, the Board of Directors of the
Company recommends a vote AGAINST this shareholder
proposal.
The Company has been advised that William Steiner,
112 Abbottsford Gate, Piermont, NY 10968, the beneficial
owner of 3,000 shares, intends to submit the following
proposal for consideration at the 2006 Annual Meeting.
RESOLVED: Shareholders request that our Board adopt a rule that
our Board will redeem any current or future poison pill unless
such poison pill is submitted to a shareholder vote, as a
separate ballot item, as soon as may be practicable.
Supporting Statement:
Pills Entrench Current Management
Poison pills . . . prevent shareholders, and the overall
market, from exercising their right to discipline management by
turning it out. They entrench the current management, even when
its doing a poor job. They water down shareholders
votes and deprive them of a meaningful voice in corporate
affairs. Take on the Street by Arthur Levitt,
SEC Chairman, 1993-2001.
Progress Begins with One Step
It is important to take one step forward in our corporate
governance and adopt the above RESOLVED statement since our 2005
governance standards were not impeccable. For instance in 2005
it was reported (and certain concerns are noted):
|
|
|
|
|
The Corporate Library (TCL), an independent investment research
firm in Portland, Maine rated our company: |
|
|
|
D in CEO Compensation. |
|
D in Accounting. |
|
|
|
|
|
We had no Independent Chairman Independent oversight
concern. |
|
|
|
Cumulative voting was not allowed. |
|
|
|
Our directors and management were still protected by a poison
pill with a low 10% threshold. |
|
|
|
Two directors had non-director business with our company
Independence concern. I believe these sub-optimal governance
examples at our company reinforce the reason to adopt the above
RESOLVED statement to improve our corporate governance. |
Like a Dictator
[Poison pill] Thats akin to the argument of a
benevolent dictator, who says, Give up more of your
freedom and Ill take care of you.
T.J. Dermot Dunphy, CEO of Sealed Air (NYSE) for
25 years
Poison Pill Negative
Thats the key negative of poison pills
instead of protecting investors, they can also preserve the
interests of management deadwood as well.

PROXY STATEMENT
The Potential of a Tender Offer Can Motivate Our Directors
Hectoring directors to act more independently is a poor
substitute for the bracing possibility that shareholders could
sell the company out from under its present management.
Wall Street Journal, Feb. 24, 2003
Stock Value
If a poison pill makes our stock difficult to sell at a
profit the value of our stock could suffer.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST
ADOPTION OF THIS SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL FOR THE REASONS
SET FORTH BELOW, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED ON THE PROXY, THE
SHARES WILL BE VOTED AGAINST THE ADOPTION OF THIS
PROPOSAL.
The Board recommends a vote against the current proposal because
the Board continues to believe that the Companys Rights
Plan is an important tool that enables the Board to maximize
shareholder value in the event of a proposed acquisition of
control of the Company. The Rights Plan also allows the Board to
protect the Company and its shareholders from unfair and
coercive takeover tactics, such as a partial or two-tier tender
offer, a creeping acquisition or other tactics that
the Board believes are unfair to the Companys
shareholders. Similar plans have been adopted by over 2,000
companies, including approximately 60% of the Standard &
Poors 500.
The Rights Plan is Designed to Help the Board Enhance
Shareholder Value
The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent a takeover of the
Company. Nor does the Rights Plan change or diminish the
fiduciary obligations of the Companys Board. The Rights
Plan strengthens the ability of the Board, 12 of whose 13
current members are considered independent under current New
York Stock Exchange rules for board independence, to fulfill its
fiduciary duties under Delaware law. Because the Board, prior to
the acquisition of 10% of the Companys common shares by an
acquirer, has the power to redeem the rights issued under the
Rights Plan and thereby remove the impediment to the completion
of an acquisition of the Company, a prospective acquirer seeking
to persuade the Board to redeem the rights may propose a higher
takeover price, an offer for all shares rather than a partial
offer or better takeover terms than would be proposed if no
Rights Plan were in place.
The Board is in the best position to negotiate on behalf of all
shareholders, evaluate the adequacy of any potential offer and
seek a higher price if there is to be a sale of the Company. In
summary, the Rights Plan allows your Board to evaluate offers,
investigate alternatives and take the necessary steps to
maximize shareholder value. Without the protection of the Rights
Plan, your Board would lose important bargaining power in
negotiating the transaction with a potential acquirer or
pursuing a potentially superior alternative.
Evidence Shows that Rights Plans are Effective and Protect
Investors
Merger and acquisition activity over the last ten years shows
that Rights Plans neither prevent unsolicited offers from
occurring nor prevent companies from being acquired at prices
that are fair and adequate to shareholders. In fact, a study by
J.P. Morgan published in 2001, analyzing 397 acquisitions of
U.S. public companies from 1997 to 2000 where the purchase price
exceeded $1 billion, found that companies with Rights Plans
in place received a median premium of 35.9% compared to 31.9%
for companies without a Rights Plan. A 1997 study published by
Georgeson & Company of takeover premiums during the period
from 1992 to 1996 also concluded that premiums paid to acquire
target companies with Rights Plans were higher than premiums
paid for target companies that did not have such Plans. In
addition, the Georgeson study concluded that the presence of a
Rights Plan did not increase the likelihood of the defeat of a
hostile takeover bid or the withdrawal of a friendly bid and
that Rights Plans did not reduce the likelihood that a company
would become a takeover target. Thus, empirical evidence
suggests that Rights Plans serve their principal objectives:
protection against inadequate offers and abusive tactics and
increased bargaining power resulting in higher value for
shareholders. Indeed, many companies with Rights Plans have
received unsolicited takeover proposals and have redeemed their
rights after their board of directors concluded that the offer,
as negotiated by such board of directors, adequately reflected
the intrinsic value of the company and was fair and equitable to
all shareholders.
The Board Will Use the Rights Plan in the Best Interests of
Shareholders
The Board believes that the adoption and maintenance of a Rights
Plan is appropriately within the scope of responsibilities of
the Board, acting on behalf of all shareholders. The adoption of
such a
22
PROXY STATEMENT
Plan accords with the Boards responsibilities for the
management of the Companys affairs and the issuance of
securities and does not require shareholder approval under
Delaware law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. To
redeem the Rights Plan now, in the absence of an acquisition
proposal, would remove an important tool that the Board should
have for the protection of shareholders and would leave
shareholders vulnerable to an unsolicited and potentially
coercive and unfair takeover offer. The Board believes that any
decision to redeem the Rights Plan should be made by the Board
in the context of a specific acquisition proposal.

The Companys only non-stockholder approved plan is the
Motorola Compensation/ Acquisition Plan of 2000 (C/A
Plan) that was adopted in November 2000. Since its
inception, the major purposes of the C/A Plan have been to grant
awards: (i) to persons newly hired by the Company, and
(ii) in connection with the acquisition of businesses.
Otherwise, grants are generally made by the Company under the
1998, 2000, 2002 and 2003 Plans. Awards may not be made under
the C/A Plan to directors or executive officers of the Company.
The Company intends to no longer make grants under the C/A Plan
if the proposed Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006, as
described on pages 13 through 20, is approved by
stockholders. The C/ A Plan is more fully described below. |
|

As of December 31, 2005, there were 2,548,710 shares
subject to outstanding stock options which had been assumed by
the Company in connection with acquisition transactions, at a
weighted average exercise price of $10.32. These options were
issued under equity compensation plans of companies acquired by
the Company. No additional options may be granted under these
equity compensation plans. The table does not include
information with respect to these assumed options. |

Of these shares, 78,200 are available for grants of awards other
than options under the C/A Plan. Other benefits which may be
granted under the C/A Plan are SARs, restricted stock,
restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units,
annual management incentive awards and other stock awards. As
noted in footnote 6 above, the Company intends to no longer make
grants under the C/A Plan if the proposed Motorola Omnibus
Incentive Plan of 2006, as described on pages 13 through
20, is approved by stockholders. |
The Motorola Compensation/ Acquisition Plan of 2000
The Motorola Compensation/ Acquisition Plan of 2000 (the
C/ A Plan), initially adopted on November 7,
2000 by the Board of Directors, provides that awards may be
granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are
not executive officers or directors of the Company, in
connection with its recruiting and retention efforts. Since its
inception, the major purposes of the C/ A Plan have been to
grant awards: (i) to persons newly hired by the Company,
and (ii) in connection with the acquisition of businesses.
The C/ A Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock
units, performance stock, performance units and other stock
awards. When initially adopted, the C/ A Plan provided for a
maximum of 40 million shares of Common Stock to be issued
under the C/ A Plan, subject to certain adjustments and the
reusage of shares in certain circumstances such as forfeitures
and cancellations. However, the C/ A Plan was amended in
November 2001 to provide that, in lieu of such share
authorization, the Compensation and Leadership Committee has the
authority to determine from time to time the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the C/A Plan.
In November 2001, the Compensation and Leadership Committee
authorized 2 million shares to be issued under the C/A
Plan, subject to adjustments and the C/A Plans reusage
provisions. On May 3, 2003, a grant of stock options made
prior to November 2001 under the C/A Plan expired without being
exercised. As a result, approximately 6 million shares
became available for the use under the C/A Plans reusage
provisions. As of December 31, 2005, the maximum number of
shares available under the C/A Plan was 2,186,010.
Awards have included options to acquire shares of Common Stock,
shares of restricted Common Stock and restricted stock units.
Each option granted has an exercise price of 100% of the market
value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Generally, all
options expire 10 years from the date of grant and vest and
become exercisable at 25% increments over four years. Awards of
restricted stock or restricted stock units consist of shares or
rights to shares of Common Stock. The restrictions on individual
grants vary, but are designed so that the awards are subject to
substantial risk of forfeiture by the employee.
Upon the occurrence of a change in control, each stock option
outstanding on the date on which the change in control occurs,
will immediately become exercisable in full. In addition, the
restrictions on all shares of restricted stock or restricted
stock units outstanding on the date on which the change in
control occurs will be automatically terminated.
As noted above, the Company intends to no longer make grants
under the C/A Plan if the proposed Motorola Omnibus Incentive
Plan of 2006, as described on pages 13 through 20, is
approved by stockholders.

Includes amounts deferred pursuant to salary reduction
arrangements under the 401(k) Plan and the Motorola Management
Deferred Compensation Plan. |
|
(2) |
Unless otherwise indicated, bonuses were earned under the
Motorola Incentive Plan (MIP). |
|
(3) |
Unless otherwise indicated, these amounts consist of the
Companys reimbursements for the income tax liability
(tax gross-ups) resulting from income imputed to the
executive officer as a result of: (a) premiums paid by the
Company under the term life portion of an endorsement
split-dollar life insurance policy for elected officers (for all
named executive officers except Mr. Zander), and
(b) certain use of Company aircraft. Unless otherwise
indicated, the aggregate amount of perquisites and other
personal benefits, securities or property given to each named
executive officer valued on the basis of aggregate incremental
cost to the Company (Company perquisite costs), was
less than either $50,000 or 10% of the total of annual salary
and bonus for that executive officer during each of these years. |

Restricted stock and restricted stock units are valued at the
time of grant. Dividends are paid on restricted stock at the
same rate and time as dividends are paid on Common Stock.
Restricted stock units automatically accrue additional units at
the current market price pursuant to dividend equivalent rights
at the same rate and time as dividends are paid on the Common
Stock. Restrictions on the units received pursuant to dividend
equivalent rights lapse at the same time as restrictions on the
underlying units. Restrictions on restricted stock or restricted
stock units lapse upon the holders death or permanent
disability. On December 2, 2004, all holders of restricted
stock and restricted stock units received a distribution equal
to .110415 shares of Class B common stock of Freescale
Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale Semiconductor) per
restricted share or restricted stock unit. As of
December 31, 2005, the aggregate number of shares of
restricted Common Stock and restricted stock units held by the
officers and the dollar value of such shares were:
Mr. Zander, 750,187 shares, including 657,163
restricted stock units ($16,946,742); Mr. Devonshire,
10,453 restricted stock units ($236,126); Mr. Garriques,
125,402 shares, including 100,402 restricted stock units
($2,832,835); and Mr. Brown, 177,779 restricted stock units
($4,016,033). The dollar values are based on the closing price
of the Common Stock ($22.59) on December 30, 2005. |
|
(5) |
All options were granted at fair market value at the date of
grant. On December 2, 2004, the Company completed the
spin-off of Freescale Semiconductor, its former semiconductor
business, by distributing its remaining ownership interest in
Freescale Semiconductor to Motorola stockholders. At that time,
the number of shares and exercise price of vested and unvested
stock options were adjusted by a ratio of 1.1176 to reflect the
decrease in the Companys stock price immediately following
the distribution. The adjustment was designed to preserve the
intrinsic value of all vested and unvested options. Accordingly,
the number of shares and exercise price of all option grants,
including those reported in this table, have been adjusted by
multiplying the number of shares underlying the option by 1.1176
and dividing the exercise price by the same number. |
|
(6) |
Unless otherwise indicated, all stock options vest and become
exercisable in equal annual installments over four years, with
the first installment vesting one year after the date of grant,
and expire ten years after the date of grant and all options
were granted as part of the Companys broad-based annual
stock option grants, which occurred on May 6, 2003,
May 4, 2004 and May 3, 2005. |

These options were granted under the Motorola, Inc. Omnibus
Incentive Plan of 2003 to acquire shares of Common Stock and
were granted at fair market value at the time of the grant. The
options carry with them the right to elect to have shares
withheld upon exercise and/or to deliver previously-acquired
shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax-withholding requirements.
Options may be transferred to family members or certain entities
in which family members have an interest. In the aggregate, the
options described in this table are exercisable for
approximately .10% of the total shares of Common Stock
outstanding on December 31, 2005. These options generally
vest upon retirement. |
|
(2) |
The grant date present value of option grants reflected here was
calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant
to the rules of the SEC. The following assumptions were used in
the calculation: options will be held full term; a dividend
yield of 1%; a
risk-free interest rate
of 3.9%; expected price volatility of 35.2%; and an assumed
forfeiture rate of 3%. We have made no adjustments to reflect
that these options are non-transferable. |
|
(3) |
These options were granted to Mr. Zander on
February 14, 2005 in recognition of his performance
throughout 2004. The options vest and become exercisable in four
equal annual installments with the first installment vesting on
February 14, 2006. The options expire 10 years from
the date of grant. |
|

These options were granted on May 3, 2005 as part of the
Companys broad-based annual stock option grant. The
options vest and become exercisable in four equal annual
installments with the first installment vesting on May 3,
2006. |
|

The options expire 10 years from the date of grant. The
option term is the same for substantially all of the options
granted to employees on May 3, 2005. These options could expire

LRIP is a three-year plan that has financial targets set
annually. The measures/metrics used are (a) annual
improvement in economic profit and (b) annual growth in
sales. Specific economic profit and sales growth targets are
established at the beginning of each year within a performance
cycle and a Business Performance Matrix is
developed. The LRIP Business Performance Matrix is a
table that outlines specific award payout factors to be used for
specific achievements against the established performance goals.
The LRIP Business Performance Factors can range from 0% (for
performance below threshold) to 200% (for maximum performance).
At the conclusion of each year, the performance against the LRIP
business performance targets is measured and recorded. At the
conclusion of the cycle, the three recorded annual performance
results are averaged together to determine the LRIP cycles
baseline award. Motorolas total shareholder return is then
measured among its peer comparator group to determine if the
full LRIP cycle award will be paid. Additionally, each
participants individual performance will be taken into
account in determining the final LRIP award on a negative
discretion basis only no participants individual
award can be greater than their formula-driven award. The final
LRIP award, if any, is paid in Common Stock. |
|
|
|
Award targets are between 50% and 250% of cycle-start base
salary. The Compensation and Leadership Committee determines
targets for the Chairman and CEO and other executive officers.
The CEO determines targets for other participants. |
|
|
(2) |
All the payments shown are potential assumed amounts. There is
no assurance that the Company will achieve results that would
lead to payments under LRIP or that any payments will be made
under this plan. |
|
(3) |
These figures were calculated using the January 1, 2005
annualized base salary for each participating executive officer. |
|
(4) |
If the specified performance targets are met, an award payment
would be made under LRIP. For each individual, this
target payment is 50% of the maximum award under
LRIP. |

PROXY STATEMENT
RETIREMENT PLANS
The Motorola, Inc. Pension Plan (the Pension Plan)
and either the Motorola Supplemental Pension Plan (the
Supplemental Plan) or the Motorola Elected Officers
Supplementary Retirement Plan (the SRP Plan) are
intended to provide pension benefits to the named executive
officers in the future. Prior to January 1, 2005, most
regular U.S. employees who had completed one year of employment
with the Company or certain of its subsidiaries were eligible to
participate in one or more of the Companys pension plans.
They become vested after five years of service. Normal
retirement is at age 65. Effective January 1, 2005,
newly-hired employees are not eligible to participate in the
Pension Plan or the Supplemental Plan.
The Pension Plan contains two benefit formulas, referred to as
the Traditional Plan and the Portable Plan. Because they started
their eligible employment with the Company after July 1,
1999, Messrs. Zander, Devonshire and Brown are
automatically covered exclusively under the Portable Plan.
Mr. Garriques made a one-time election to have his Pension
Plan benefit calculated under the Traditional Plan.
Mr. Nemcek elected to have his Pension Plan benefit
calculated under the Traditional Plan with respect to service
and compensation prior to July 1, 2000, and under the
Portable Plan with respect to service and compensation on and
after July 1, 2000.
Portable Plan Table
The following table provides the estimated annual pension
benefit payable at age 65, normal retirement date, as of
December 31, 2005 under the Portable Plan and the
Supplemental Plan for Messrs. Zander, Devonshire and Brown.
The estimated annual Portable Plan pension benefits are shown
for various rates of final average base salary and years of
service.

A participants benefits derived solely under the Portable
Plan and Supplemental Plan are calculated based on an
employees length of service and the average plan
compensation (base pay) for the five years of highest pay during
the last ten years of employment with the Company. The estimated
annual pension benefits payable at age 65 are computed as a
single life annuity and are not offset by Social Security
benefits.
Mr. Garriques Benefit
Mr. Garriques Pension Plan benefit is calculated
exclusively under the Traditional Plan. That formula essentially
consists of (i) for service from 1978 through 1987, the sum
of 40% of the first $20,000 of average plan compensation, plus
35% of average plan compensation in excess of $20,000,
multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of his
months of service during that period and whose denominator is
420, plus (ii) for service in 1988 and after, 75% of
average plan compensation, multiplied by a fraction whose
numerator is the number of months of his service on and after
January 1, 1988 (not exceeding 420) and whose denominator
is 420, minus (iii) 50% of his Social Security Benefit (as
defined) multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number
of months of his service on and after January 1, 1978 (not
exceeding 420) and whose denominator is 420.
Based on his average plan compensation at December 31,
2005, the estimated annual benefit payable upon retirement at
normal retirement age from the Pension Plan, as supplemented
pursuant to the Supplemental Plan, for Mr. Garriques
is $921,688.
Mr. Nemceks Benefit
The Traditional Plan portion of Mr. Nemceks Pension
Plan benefit is calculated in the same manner as
Mr. Garriques Pension Plan benefit described above,
but without taking into account his service or compensation
earned on or after July 1, 2000. The Portable Plan portion
of Mr. Nemceks Pension Plan benefit is based on the
Portable Plan Table above with respect to his years
of service and compensation after July 1, 2000 that are
counted for benefit calculation purposes.
Based on his salary level at December 31, 2005, and the
average of the highest annual incentive awards paid for five
years out of the last eight years, the estimated annual benefit
payable upon retirement at normal retirement age from the
Pension Plan, as supplemented pursuant to the SRP Plan, for
Mr. Nemcek is $420,000.

Elected Officers Supplementary Retirement Plan
The Company also maintains the SRP Plan for certain elected
officers. Since January 1, 2000, no additional officers are
eligible for participation in the SRP Plan. Mr. Nemcek
participates in the SRP Plan. Messrs. Zander, Devonshire,
Brown and Garriques do not participate in the SRP Plan. The SRP
Plan provides that if the benefit payable annually (computed on
a single life annuity basis) to any participating officer under
one of the Companys pension plans (which is based on a
percentage of final average earnings for each year of service)
is less than the benefit calculated under the SRP Plan, that
officer will receive supplementary payments upon retirement.
Generally, the total annual payments to an officer participating
in the SRP Plan will equal a percentage of the sum of such
officers rate of salary at retirement plus an amount equal
to the highest average of the annual bonus awards paid to such
officer for any five years within the last eight years preceding
retirement. Such percentage ranges from 40% to 45%, depending
upon the officers years of service and other factors.
Under an alternate formula, the total annual payments to such
officer from both plans will equal the amount of the
officers retirement benefit calculated under the terms of
the pension plan in which he participates, without regard to the
limitation on considered compensation under qualified retirement
plans in Section 417 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended
(the Code), or the technical benefits limitation in
Section 415 of the Code. However, the total annual pension
payable on the basis of a single life annuity to any named
executive officer from the applicable pension plan and SRP Plan
is subject to a maximum of 70% of that officers base
salary prior to retirement. If the officer is vested and retires
at or after age 55 but prior to age 60, he or she may elect to
receive a deferred unreduced benefit when he or she attains age
60, or an actuarially reduced benefit at or after age 57,
contingent upon entering into an agreement not to compete with
the Company. If a change in control (as defined) of the Company
occurs, the right of each non-vested elected officer to receive
supplementary payments will become vested on the date of such
change in control and unreduced payments may begin or be made
upon retirement at or after age 55.
Mr. Nemcek is vested in his SRP Plan benefit. At the time
of vesting, the Company makes a contribution to the trust for
that plan. The purpose of that contribution is to enable the
trust to make payments of the benefits under the SRP Plan due to
the participant after retirement. Federal and state tax laws
require that the participant include in income the amount of any
contribution in the year it was made even though the participant
receives no cash in connection with such contribution or any
payments from the retirement plan. Because the participant
receives no cash yet incurs a significant income tax liability,
the Company believes that it is appropriate to reimburse the
participant so that he or she is not paying additional taxes as
a result of a contribution. Mr. Nemcek was reimbursed for
such a tax liability in 2002. This is the Companys policy
with respect to all participants in the SRP Plan.

Employment Agreement with Edward J. Zander |
On December 15, 2003, the Company entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Zander, effective as of
January 5, 2004. The agreement has an initial term of five
years but, commencing on January 5, 2008, the term will be
extended for one year on each anniversary of the effective date
of the agreement unless either party delivers notice to the
other party of its intention not to extend the term. During the
term, Mr. Zander will serve as Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, with such duties and responsibilities as are
commensurate with the position, and reports directly to our
Board of Directors. Mr. Zander will also serve as Chairman
of our Board of Directors.
During the term, Mr. Zander will be paid an annual base
salary of not less than $1.5 million. The base salary will
be reviewed for increase commencing at such times as the
Compensation and Leadership Committee reviews the salaries of
senior executives
34
PROXY STATEMENT
generally. For each fiscal year completed during the term,
Mr. Zander will also be eligible to receive annual cash
bonuses based upon performance targets established by the
Compensation and Leadership Committee, but in no event will his
annual target bonus be less than 135% of his annual base salary.
As provided in his employment agreement, Mr. Zander
deferred receipt of his 2004 annual bonus of $4 million
until after his date of termination of employment (but no later
than January 1 of the year following termination) or, if
earlier, the first day on which the deductibility of this
compensation by us is no longer precluded by the provisions of
Section 162(m) of the Code.
For each multi-year period completed during the term of his
employment, Mr. Zander will also be eligible to receive an
award under our Mid-Range Incentive Plan based upon performance
targets established by the Compensation and Leadership
Committee, but in no event will his target award be less than
250% of his annual base salary. During the term, he is also
eligible to participate in all long-term incentive plans,
qualified pension plans and health and welfare, perquisite,
fringe benefit and other arrangements generally available to
other senior executives, including reasonable use of Company
aircraft for personal (not less than 100 hours annually for
personal use) and business purposes, transition housing and a
home security system.
Mr. Zander receives change in control benefits under our
Senior Officer Change in Control Severance Plan or any successor
change in control plan or program. If we no longer maintain the
Senior Officer Change in Control Severance Plan, we will provide
Mr. Zander with no less favorable benefits and protection
under an alternative program or arrangement. In addition, upon a
change in control of the Company, all equity-based awards
granted to Mr. Zander will become fully vested and
exercisable, all performance goals will be deemed achieved at
target levels, all performance stock will be delivered as
promptly as practicable and all performance units, restricted
stock units and other incentive awards will be paid out as
promptly as practicable. If we adopt an equity incentive plan or
a severance plan for senior executives with change in control
benefits more generous than the benefits provided to
Mr. Zander under his employment agreement, Mr. Zander
will be entitled to those benefits.
Mr. Zander agreed to purchase 100,000 shares of Common
Stock on or prior to July 31, 2005. In 2005, the Board
reduced this requirement to 75,000 shares, all which have been
purchased by Mr. Zander.
On January 5, 2004, pursuant to his employment agreement,
we granted Mr. Zander an option to purchase
1,508,760* shares of Common Stock with a per share exercise
price of $12.97*. The stock option has a term of 10 years
and vests in four equal annual installments commencing on
January 5, 2005, subject to Mr. Zanders
continued employment with us through each such date. In
addition, on January 5, 2004, we granted Mr. Zander
400,000 restricted stock units based on shares of our Common
Stock, 50% of which vested on January 5, 2006 and the
remainder of which will vest on January 5, 2008, subject to
Mr. Zanders continued employment with us through such
date. Mr. Zander has agreed to defer settlement of the
restricted stock units until after his date of termination of
employment (but no later than January 1 of the year following
termination) or, if earlier, the first day on which the
deductibility of this compensation by us is no longer precluded
by the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.
Pursuant to his employment agreement and in connection with the
Companys broad-based annual stock option grant, on
May 4, 2004, we granted Mr. Zander an option to
purchase 1,061,720* shares of Common Stock with a per share
exercise price of $16.30*. The stock option has a term of
10 years and vests in four equal annual installments
commencing on May 4, 2005, subject to
Mr. Zanders continued employment with us through each
such date. In addition, on May 4, 2004, we granted
Mr. Zander 109,770 restricted stock units based on shares
of our Common Stock, of which 10% vested on May 4, 2005,
20% will vest on May 4, 2006, 30% will vest on May 4,
2007 and the remaining 40% will vest on May 4, 2008,
subject to Mr. Zanders continued employment with us
through each such date. Mr. Zander has agreed to defer
settlement of the restricted stock units until after his date of
termination of employment (but no later than the January 1 of
the year following termination) or, if earlier, the first day on
which the deductibility of this compensation by us is no longer
precluded by the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.
In connection with the replacement of outstanding amounts at his
former employer that were forfeited by Mr. Zander, on
January 5, 2004, we

paid Mr. Zander a lump sum cash payment of $600,000 and
granted Mr. Zander 93,024 restricted shares of our Common
Stock. The restrictions with respect to these share of
restricted stock lapsed on January 5, 2006.
If Mr. Zanders employment is terminated by us, except
for cause, death or disability, or if he resigns for good reason
(as defined in his agreement), he would be eligible to receive:
(1) a cash payment equal to the sum of his unpaid annual
base salary and any accrued vacation pay through the date of
termination, outstanding reimbursable business expenses and his
annual cash bonus for the year preceding the date of termination
of employment (if not previously paid); (2) a cash payment
equal to two times the sum of his annual base salary and his
target bonus (currently, this payment would be $7,050,000);
(3) continued medical and life insurance benefits for two
years following the date of termination, and (4) continued
vesting in any stock options, restricted stock, performance
shares and any other stock-based long term incentive
compensation awards held by Mr. Zander pursuant to their
original vesting schedule and continued exercisability of any
stock options until 18 months after the earlier of:
(a) the later of (i) the vesting date, or
(ii) date of termination of employment or (b) the
expiration of the scheduled option term, subject to
Mr. Zanders continued compliance with the restrictive
covenants described below. Mr. Zander was entitled to
reimbursement for all reasonable legal fees and expenses
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the negotiation
and preparation of the agreement, subject to a maximum of
$50,000 and we will reimburse him for all legal costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any
dispute under the agreement so long as he prevails in such
dispute on at least one material claim.
Mr. Zander has agreed not to use or disclose any
confidential information during or following his termination of
employment with us. In addition, during his employment and for a
period of two years thereafter, Mr. Zander has agreed not
to solicit our employees, compete with our business or solicit
our customers and has further agreed that, during and after his
employment with us, he will assist us in the defense of any
claims or potential claims against us.
The agreement was approved by the Board of Directors, based in
part on the recommendation of the Compensation and Leadership
Committee and the Search Committee (a committee formed in 2003
to facilitate the search for a Company Chairman and CEO). The
Search Committee hired its own CEO compensation advisors who
worked with the compensation advisors regularly used by the
Compensation and Leadership Committee and the Company to develop
the compensation package. Comparator data from similarly-sized
companies and companies in our industries was gathered and
analyzed in determining the compensation package.

Severance Agreement with David W. Devonshire |
In March 2002, the Company entered into compensation
arrangements with David Devonshire as an incentive for him to
join the Company as Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the
compensation arrangements, if Mr. Devonshire is terminated
without cause, Motorola has agreed to pay him severance equal to
one years base salary plus his targeted incentive payout.
|
|
|
Change in Control Arrangements |
The Company has Change in Control Severance Plans (the
Plans) for its elected officers. The Plan applicable
to the named executive officers is the Motorola, Inc. Senior
Officer Change in Control Severance Plan (the Senior
Officer Plan). The Senior Officer Plan provides for the
payment of benefits in the event that: (i) an executive
officer terminates his or her employment for good
reason (as defined) within two years of a change in
control, or (ii) the executive officers employment is
terminated for any reason other than termination for good
cause (as defined), disability, death or normal retirement
within two years of a change in control of the Company. In
addition to unpaid salary for accrued vacation days and accrued
salary and annual bonus through the termination date, the amount
of the benefits payable to an executive officer entitled thereto
would be equal to the sum of: (i) three times the greater
of the executive officers highest annual base salary in
effect during the three years immediately preceding the change
in control and the annual base salary in effect on the
termination date; (ii) three times the highest annual bonus
received by the executive officer during the immediately
preceding five fiscal years ending on or before the termination
date; and (iii) a pro rata target bonus for the year of
termination. The executive officer would also receive continued
medical and insurance benefits for 3 years, and
3 years of age and service credit for retiree medical
eligibility. In the event the executive officer is subject to
the excise of tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the
Company will make a tax reimbursement payment to the executive
officer to offset the impact of such excise tax. The Senior
Officer Plans term is for 3 years, subject to
automatic one-year extensions unless the Company gives
90 days prior notice that it does not wish to extend. In
addition, if a change
36
PROXY STATEMENT
in control occurs during the term, the Plans continue for an
additional two years. These Plans replaced individual agreements
that the Company began providing in 1988. In addition to plans
covering all of the Companys officers, the general
employee population is covered by a change in control severance
plan.

|
|
Membership of the Compensation and Leadership Committee |
Throughout 2005, Director Samuel C. Scott III was the
Committees Chair and Directors Indra K. Nooyi and Ron
Sommer served on the Committee. Director James R. Stengel was
elected to the Committee by the Board on July 27, 2005.
During 2005, the Committee was comprised solely of non-employee
directors who were each: (i) independent as defined under
the NYSE listing standards and the Motorola, Inc. Director
Independence Guidelines, (ii) a non-employee director for
purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, and
(iii) an outside director for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code. During 2006, the Committee will
be comprised of directors who meet these same standards.
|
|
|
Purposes of the Compensation and Leadership Committee |
The Compensation and Leadership Committee is appointed by the
Board for the primary purposes of overseeing the programs under
which compensation is paid or awarded to Motorolas
executives and evaluating the performance of Motorolas
senior management. The specific functions of the Committee are
described in this proxy statement under What are the
Functions of the Compensation and Leadership Committee?
and in the Committees charter, which the Committee and the
Board periodically review and revise as necessary. A copy of the
Committees charter is available at
www.motorola.com/investor.
The Committee meets at scheduled times during the year and met
five times during 2005, and it also considers and takes action
by written consent. The Committee Chair reports on Committee
actions and recommendations at Board meetings.
The Global Rewards department in Motorolas Human Resources
organization supports the Committee in its work and, in some
cases, acts pursuant to delegated authority from the Committee
to fulfill various functions in administering Motorolas
compensation programs.
In carrying out its duties, the Committee has direct access to
outside advisers, independent compensation consultants and
others to assist the Committee. During 2005, the Committee
directly engaged an outside compensation consulting firm to
assist the Committee in its review of the compensation for
Motorolas executive officers. The results of this
independent review are highlighted later in this report.
|
|
|
General Compensation Philosophy |
Motorolas general compensation philosophy is to provide
world-class reward strategies and programs that attract, retain
and motivate the best people, producing outstanding business
performance and shareholder value.
As a result, the Company strives to provide a total compensation
package that is competitive with the prevailing practices for
the industry and countries in which it operates, allowing for
above average total compensation when justified by individual
performance and business results.
|
|
|
Executive Compensation Guiding Principles |
The Companys general compensation philosophy is further
guided by the following principles specific to its executives:
|
|
|
|
|
A strong link between pay and performance both at the
Company and the individual level. |
|
|
|
|
|
When Motorola has outstanding performance, total target
compensation can be above the prevailing market median
correlating with the level of success achieved. |
|
|
Strongly differentiated pay for high performers proportional to
their contributions to Motorolas success. |
|
|
|
|
|
Executives aligning with stockholders and managing from the
perspective of owners with a meaningful equity stake in Motorola. |
37
PROXY STATEMENT
|
|
|
|
|
A competitive total rewards package that will enable the Company
to attract and motivate high-performing talent and that is
strongly competitive with other large-cap, high-tech companies. |
|
|
Retain high performers through meaningful wealth creation
opportunities. |
|
|
A simple and cost-efficient program design. |
|
|
Tools to achieve success provided by Motorola, but significant
individual responsibility and accountability. |
The Companys rewards program structure is compared to a
benchmark competitive peer group. In the United States, the
Companys peer group consists of 17 large-cap, high-tech
companies* that, in the aggregate, the Committee believes fairly
represent the Motorola portfolio of businesses and with which
the Company competes for executive talent. Outside of the United
States, the same peer group companies are compared unless other,
more compelling, competitors for executive talent are present.
|
|
|
Components of Motorolas Compensation Program |
Motorolas compensation program consists of (1) base
salary, (2) short-term incentives namely the annual
Motorola Incentive Plan, (3) long-term
incentives namely, the Mid-Range Incentive Plan
(discontinued as of December 31, 2005), the
Long-Range Incentive
Plan, and equity, and (4) benefits and perquisites.
Overall, and for the last several years, base salary levels for
each position are targeted, on average, at the 50th percentile
of similar positions in the peer group. Some variation above and
below the competitive median is allowed when, in the judgment of
management and/or the Committee, as appropriate, the value of
the individuals experience, performance and specific skill
set justifies variation. In this way, competitively superior pay
goes to those who earn it. As a result, the greatest retention
value has been invested in the strongest performers.
|
|
|
(2) Short-Term Incentives |
The Motorola Incentive Plan (MIP) is a cash-based,
pay-for-performance annual incentive plan that was initiated in
January 2002 and applies to every employee in the Company
(excluding those employees participating in a sales incentive
plan).
The MIP incentive formula has the following components:

|
The MIP Individual Incentive Targets are based on
market-competitive data and are established as a percentage of
eligible earnings (generally base salary). Each year, the
Committee designates target levels for Motorola executives.
Overall, and for the last several years, MIP Incentive Targets
for each position are targeted, on average, between the
50th
percentile and
65th
percentile of similar positions in the peer group. For 2005, the
Individual Incentive Targets for Motorola executives generally
ranged from 45% (for appointed vice presidents) to 135% (for the
CEO) of base salary. The Committee also reviews target levels
for all other non-executive participants.
The MIP Business Performance Factor focuses on
operating earnings, operating cash flow, revenue growth and
three quality-specific measures: customer satisfaction,
reliability and cost of poor quality. Each year, Business
Performance Factor targets are established for the Company and
for each of its major businesses. While most employees receive
rewards based on business performance of their particular
business (and its corresponding Business Performance Factor),
the award for all Motorola executives (including the executives
named in the Summary Compensation Table) have a significant
portion of their award (100% for Motorolas senior business
leaders and 50% for all other Motorola executives and senior
managers) based on the overall Motorola Business Performance
Factor.
Motorolas 2005 business performance surpassed the
performance objectives set forth in the targeted 2005 MIP
Business Performance Factor. As a result, the formula-driven
2005 MIP awards (based on 2005 business results) were
appropriately above the established target award level.
The MIP Individual Performance Factor modifies the
formula-driven award (business results) according to an
individuals contribution to the Companys success.
Individual Performance Factor multipliers range from 0% to 130%,

PROXY STATEMENT
the Companys commitment to differentiating rewards based
on business and individual performance.
Motorolas long-term incentive programs include the
Mid-Range Incentive Plan (discontinued on December 31,
2005), the Long-Range Incentive Plan (replaced the Mid-Range
Incentive Plan) and equity (stock options and limited and
selective use of restricted stock or restricted stock units).
Overall, and for the last several years, long-term incentive
levels for each position are targeted on average, at the
65th
percentile of similar positions in the peer group.
The Motorola Mid-Range Incentive Plan (MRIP) is a
cash-based, pay-for-performance multi-year incentive plan that
was implemented in January 2003. The initial two-year cycle
started on January 1, 2003 and concluded on
December 31, 2004. A final two-year cycle started on
January 1, 2004 and concluded on December 31, 2005.
There will not be any additional performance cycles under the
Motorola Mid-Range Incentive Plan. The Motorola Long-Range
Incentive Plan (LRIP described below) replaced
MRIP with the inaugural cycle starting on January 1, 2005.
Participation in MRIP is limited to Motorolas senior and
executive vice presidents (approximately 50 participants,
including the executives named in the Summary Compensation
Table). Motorolas Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Edward
J. Zander, did not participate in the January 1,
2003-December 31, 2004 MRIP cycle. Mr. Zander did
participate in the January 1, 2004-December 31, 2005
MRIP cycle.

MRIP Award |
The MRIP Individual Incentive Targets are based on
market-competitive data and are established as a percentage of
base salary at the start of the performance cycle. The Committee
designates target levels for all MRIP participants. The
Individual Incentive Targets ranged from 75% to 250% of
cycle-start base salary. The MRIP Individual Incentive Targets
are different than the individual incentive targets set under
MIP.
MRIP awards are based on: (1) cumulative improvement in
Economic Profit over a two-year performance period, and
(2) Cumulative Growth in Sales over a two-year performance
period. By combining these measures, MRIP emphasizes the
importance of balancing growth and profitability. While MRIP is
not directly tied to stock prices, the progress made against
these two measures should equate to value created for
shareholders.
Economic Profit is defined as: Net Operating Profit (after
taxes) minus Capital Charge where Capital Charge is equal
to the average of invested capital at the beginning and the end
of each year, multiplied by the cost of capital.
Cumulative Growth in Sales is equal to the percent change in
sales from the beginning of the performance period to the end of
the performance period.
Specific Economic Profit and sales growth targets are
established at the beginning of a performance cycle. MRIP awards
are based on performance against the established targets.
The MRIP Business Performance Matrix is a table that
outlines specific Business Performance Factors to be used for
specific achievements against the established Economic Profit
improvement and sales growth targets. The MRIP Business
Performance Factors can range from 0% (for performance below
threshold) to 200% (for maximum performance).
Motorolas 2004 and 2005 business performance significantly
surpassed the targeted two-year cumulative improvement in
Economic Profit and the targeted two-year Cumulative Growth in
Sales performance objectives set forth in the 2004-2005 MRIP
cycle. As a result, the formula-driven 2004-2005 MRIP awards
(based on business results) were appropriately above the target
award level.
|
|
|
Long-Range Incentive Plan |
The Motorola Long-Range Incentive Plan (LRIP) is a
Motorola stock-based, pay-for-performance, multi-year incentive
plan that was implemented in January 2005. The initial
three-year cycle started on January 1, 2005 and will
conclude on December 31, 2007. A second three-year cycle
will start on January 1, 2006 and will conclude on
December 31, 2008, if such cycle is approved by the Board.
Participation in LRIP is limited to Motorolas elected
officers including all corporate, senior and executive
vice presidents (approximately 135 participants, including the
executives named in the Sum-
39
PROXY STATEMENT
mary Compensation Table). Motorolas Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Edward J. Zander, is participating in the
2005-2007 LRIP cycle and is expected to participate in the
2006-2008 LRIP cycle if such a cycle is approved by the Board.
LRIP is a three-year plan that has financial targets set
annually. Annual performance against the established financial
targets is averaged to determine the overall cycles award.
Motorolas total shareholder return is then measured among
its peer comparator group to determine if the full LRIP cycle
award will be paid. Additionally, each participants
individual performance will be taken into account in determining
the final LRIP award on a negative discretion basis only
no participants individual award can be greater than their
formula driven award. The final LRIP award, if any, is paid in
Motorola common stock.
The LRIP incentive formula has the following variables:

LRIP Award
|
The LRIP Individual Incentive Targets are based on
market-competitive data and are established as a percentage of
base salary at the start of the performance cycle. The Committee
designates target levels for all LRIP participants. The
Individual Incentive Targets ranged from 50% to 250% of
cycle-start base salary. The LRIP Individual Incentive Targets
are different than the individual incentive targets set under
MIP.
The LRIP Business Performance Factor is calculated as a result
of the following three-step process:
Step 1: Establish performance targets and record
performance results annually.
LRIP awards are based on: (1) Annual Improvement in
Economic Profit, and (2) Annual Growth in Sales. By
combining these measures, LRIP emphasizes the importance of
balancing growth and profitability. While LRIP is not directly
tied to stock prices, the progress made against these two
measures should equate to value created for shareholders.
Economic Profit is defined as: Net Operating Profit (after
taxes) minus Capital Charge where, Capital Charge is equal
to the average of invested capital at the beginning and the end
of each year, multiplied by the cost of capital.
Annual Growth in Sales is equal to the percent change in sales
from the beginning of each individual year within the LRIP cycle
to the end of that individual year.
Specific Economic Profit and Annual Growth in Sales targets are
established at the beginning of each year within a performance
cycle and a Business Performance Matrix is
developed. The LRIP Business Performance Matrix is a
table that outlines specific Business Performance Factors to be
used for specific achievements against the established Economic
Profit improvement and sales growth targets. The LRIP Business
Performance Factors can range from 0% (for performance below
threshold) to 200% (for maximum performance).
At the conclusion of each year, the performance against the LRIP
business performance targets is measured and recorded.
Step 2: Average the recorded annual performance
results to determine the foundation of the LRIP award.
The three recorded annual performance results are averaged
together to determine the LRIP cycles baseline award.
Step 3: Measure Motorolas three-year total
shareholder return compared with the established comparator
company group to determine the final Business Performance Factor
to be used for the LRIP cycle.
In order for a full LRIP award to be paid, Motorolas
three-year total shareholder return must exceed the average
total shareholder return of the established peer-group
competitors (see Comparator Group above). For LRIP
purposes, total shareholder return is calculated as follows:
|

If Motorolas three-year total shareholder return is equal
to or above the 50th percentile of the comparator group, then
the full LRIP business performance factor is applied.
If Motorolas three-year total shareholder return is below
the 50th percentile but above the 35th percentile of the
comparator group, then a 25% reduction in the LRIP business
performance factor is applied.
40
PROXY STATEMENT
If Motorolas three-year total shareholder return is below
the 35th percentile of the comparator group, then a 50%
reduction in the LRIP business performance factor is applied.
The 2005-2007 LRIP cycle began on January 1, 2005 and will
conclude on December 31, 2007.
To reward and retain employees in a manner that best aligns
employees interests with stockholders interests,
Motorola uses stock options as its primary long-term incentive
vehicle. Management and the Committee believe that stock options
align employees interests precisely with those of other
stockholders, because when the price of the stock declines from
the price at the grant date, the employee obtains no value.
A wide range of managerial and individual contributors
participate in the Companys stock option plans. On
May 3, 2005, the Committee granted stock options to
approximately 24,000 employees as part of the Companys
annual award of stock options. These options vest and become
exercisable in four equal annual installments, with the first
installment vesting May 3, 2006. The per share exercise
price for the stock options is $15.47, the fair market value of
Motorola common stock on the date of the grant. The stock
options expire on May 3, 2015. Approximately 94% of the
stock options covered by the May 3, 2005 grant went to
employees other than the executives named in the Summary
Compensation Table.
From time to time, Motorola also grants restricted stock or
restricted stock units to encourage retention and reward
performance. The granting of restricted stock or restricted
stock units is done on a limited and selective basis.
|
|
|
(4) Executive Benefits and Perquisites |
Since 2000, the Committee and management have sought to more
closely align the Companys total executive rewards
programs with that of its large-cap high-tech peers. Overall,
Motorolas philosophy is to pay between the
50th
and
65th
percentile for total rewards for executive positions in this
peer group given average business performance but with
substantially leveraged compensation which is performance based.
As a result, several significant changes in the Motorola
executive benefits and perquisites programs have taken place:

The Motorola Management Deferred Compensation Plan has not been
changed. This program allows eligible executive participants
(Motorolas elected officers) the opportunity to defer
taxes on their base salary and cash incentive compensation.
Motorola does not contribute to this plan. The Motorola
Management Deferred Compensation Plan is not intended to provide
for the payment of |

above-market or preferential earnings (as these terms are
defined under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission) on compensation deferred under the plan. |
|
|
|
The Motorola Executive Financial Planning Program has not been
changed. This program provides Motorola executives with
comprehensive financial planning assistance. |
|
|
|
The Motorola Change-in-Control Program has not been changed.
This program provides Motorolas elected officers with
severance benefit protection triggered in the event of a change
in control of Motorola. |
All other benefits, including health care and other insurance
programs, are the same for all eligible employees, including
Motorola executives.
|
|
|
Stock Ownership Requirements |
Because the Committee believes in linking the interests of
management and stockholders, the Board requires Motorolas
senior leadership team and all other senior and executive vice
presidents (approximately 45 executives) to maintain prescribed
levels of Motorola stock ownership.
The stock ownership guidelines set a minimum level of ownership
of: Common Stock with a value equal to 4 times base salary for
the CEO; the lesser of Common Stock with a value equal to 3
times base salary or 50,000 shares or units for executive vice
presidents; and the lesser of Common Stock with a value equal to
2 times base salary or 25,000 shares or units for senior vice
presidents.

Independent Consultant Review of Motorola Senior
Leadership Team Compensation |
In 2005, the Committee engaged Mercer Human Resources Consulting
to independently review Motorolas Senior Leadership Team
compensation. This study found that Motorolas current
executive compensation programs are fundamentally competitive
and sound.
The Committee agreed with the Mercer studys conclusions
that no substantive revisions to the compensation programs are
required.
Motorolas compensation program is designed to motivate
outstanding corporate and business performance. This
pay-for-performance program extends to all Motorola employees,
including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. Edward J. Zander.
Mr. Zanders compensation consists of base salary,
awards from the Motorola Incentive Plan (MIP), the Mid-Range
Incentive Plan (MRIP) and the Long-Range Incentive Plan
(LRIP), stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock
units and certain other benefits.
The Committee studied the data gathered from the 17-company peer
group mentioned above to assess the appropriate competitive
compensation levels for Mr. Zander. Mr. Zanders
compensation levels are also governed by the employment
agreement entered into by the Company on December 15, 2003,
effective January 5, 2004. The employment agreement was
approved by the Board, based in part on the recommendation of
the Compensation and Leadership Committee and the Search
Committee (a committee formed in 2003 to facilitate the search
for a Company Chairman and CEO). The Search Committee hired its
own CEO compensation advisors who worked with the compensation
advisors regularly used by the Compensation and Leadership
Committee and the Company to develop the compensation package.
Comparator data from similarly-sized companies and companies in
our industries was gathered and analyzed in determining the
compensation package.
The Committee most recently determined Mr. Zanders
compensation in February 2006, when it determined MIP and MRIP
plan awards for 2005 and set compensation amounts for 2006. In
determining Mr. Zanders 2006 compensation, the
Committee reviewed Mr. Zanders total remuneration,
including all aspects of Mr. Zanders total cash
compensation (base salary plus short-term incentives) and
long-term incentives from continuing employment,
Mr. Zanders outstanding equity grants (both stock
options and restricted stock/ restricted stock units), the value
of Mr. Zanders deferred compensation and retirement
benefits and the value of Mr. Zanders health and
wellness employee benefits and executive perquisites.
Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement,
Mr. Zanders annual salary for 2005 was $1,500,000. In
February 2006, the Committee decided, and the independent
board members concurred, that Mr. Zanders base salary
will not be increased in 2006.

Mr. Zanders 2005 MIP Award |
Mr. Zanders target award under 2005 MIP was
$2,025,000 and is unchanged under 2006 MIP. For
Mr. Zanders 2005 MIP award, the Committee assessed
performance based on the MIP Business
42
PROXY STATEMENT
Performance Factors (operating earnings, operating cash
flow, revenue growth and three quality-specific measures:
customer satisfaction, reliability and cost of poor quality)
that comprise the formula for awards under the plan. The
Committee and the Board considered these results in addition to
strategic and leadership accomplishments to decide on
Mr. Zanders 2005 MIP award.
Based on the assessment of performance against 2005 MIP Business
Performance Factor targets and on the assessment of
Mr. Zanders performance in 2005, the Committee
decided upon, and the independent board members concurred in
approving, a 2005 MIP award of $3,000,000 (119% of the
formula-driven award).

Mr. Zanders 2004-2005 MRIP Award |
Mr. Zanders target award under MRIP for the
January 1, 2004 - December 31, 2005 cycle was
$3,750,000. For this MRIP award, the Committee assessed
performance based on the MRIP Business Performance
Factors (two-year cumulative improvement in economic
profit and two-year cumulative growth in sales performance) that
comprise the formula for awards under the plan.
Motorolas 2004 and 2005 business performance significantly
surpassed the targeted two-year cumulative improvement in
Economic Profit and the targeted two-year Cumulative Growth in
Sales performance objectives set forth in the January 1,
2004-December 31, 2005 MRIP cycle. Based on these results,
the Committee decided upon, and the independent board members
concurred in approving, a 2004-2005 MRIP award of $7,500,000
(100% of the formula-driven award).
As described earlier in this report, the MRIP program was
discontinued with the conclusion of the 2004-2005 cycle. The
Motorola Long-Range Incentive Plan (LRIP) replaced MRIP
with the inaugural cycle starting on January 1, 2005.
Mr. Zanders January 1, 2005-December 31,
2007 LRIP target award is $3,750,000.

Mr. Zanders Stock Ownership Requirements |
On July 27, 2005, the independent directors of the Board of
Directors of the Company, in executive session, approved,
effective July 27, 2005, an amendment to
Mr. Zanders employment agreement reducing
Mr. Zanders requirement to purchase 100,000 shares of
Motorola common stock by July 31, 2005 to 75,000 shares for
the following reasons:
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Zander had already purchased 75,000 shares and at that
time held an additional 758,637 shares and share equivalents of
Motorola restricted stock and Motorola restricted stock units. |
|
|
|
The Board believed that Mr. Zanders holdings at that
time of 833,637 shares and share equivalents fully aligned his
interest with that of the Companys shareholders and that
the purchase of the remaining 25,000 shares by July 31,
2005 was not necessary. |
|
|
|
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code |
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the
deductibility of certain items of compensation paid to the Chief
Executive Officer and to each of the named executive officers
(the Covered Employees) to $1,000,000 annually. The
Committee has adopted or approved appropriate changes to the
Companys short-term and long-term incentive programs to
provide for the deductibility of compensation paid to the
Covered Employees under the plans. However, the Committee
reserves the right to provide for compensation to the Covered
Employees that may not be deductible.
Overall, the Committee believes that the Motorolas
pay-for-performance based executive compensation is in the
long-term interests of the stockholders.

PROXY STATEMENT
AUDIT AND LEGAL COMMITTEE MATTERS
Report of Audit and Legal Committee
The Audit and Legal Committee is comprised of five non-employee
directors. Mr. Fuller, the Chair, and Mr. J. White
served on the Committee throughout 2005. Mr. Meredith
joined the Committee upon his election to the Board on
January 31, 2005. Ms. Lewent joined the Committee on
May 3, 2005 and Mr. M. White joined the Committee
on February 13, 2006. The Committee operates pursuant to a
written charter that was amended and restated by the Board as of
February 13, 2006. A copy of the Committees current
charter is available at www.motorola.com/investor and is
also included herein as Appendix A.
On February 23, 2006, the Board determined that each member
of the Committee was independent within the meaning of the NYSE
listing standards, SEC rules and the Motorola, Inc. Director
Independence Guidelines. The Board also determined that each
member of the Committee is financially literate and
has accounting or related financial management expertise. The
Board also determined that H. Laurance Fuller, Judy Lewent, Tom
Meredith and Miles White are audit committee financial
experts as defined by SEC rules. The Board also determined
that John Whites service on a total of four audit
committees of public companies (including Motorola) did not
impair his service on the Motorola Audit and Legal Committee
because of his excellent service on the Committee since 1995.
During all of 2005, the Committee was comprised of non-employee
directors who were each independent as defined by the NYSE
listing standards applicable during 2005 and SEC rules.
The responsibilities of the Committee include assisting the
Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities
as they relate to the Companys accounting policies,
internal controls, financial reporting practices and legal and
regulatory compliance. The Committee also appoints and retains
the independent registered public accounting firm.
The Committee fulfills its responsibilities through periodic
meetings with the Companys independent registered public
accounting firm, internal auditors and management. During 2005,
the Committee met ten times. The Committee schedules its
meetings with a view toward ensuring that it devotes appropriate
attention to all of its tasks. During certain of these meetings,
the Committee meets privately with the independent registered
public accounting firm, the chief financial officer, the
director of internal audit, the chief legal counsel and from
time-to-time other members of management. Outside of formal
meetings Committee members had telephone calls to discuss
important matters with management and the independent registered
public accounting firm. The Committee also obtains a review, of
the nature described in Statement on Auditing Standards
(SAS) No. 100, from the independent registered public
accounting firm containing the results of their review of the
interim financial statements.
Throughout the year, the Committee monitors matters related to
the independence of KPMG LLP (KPMG), the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm. As
part of its monitoring activities, the Committee reviews the
relationships between the independent registered public
accounting firm and the Company. During 2005, the Committee
considered two independence matters and concluded in both
instances that KPMGs independence was not compromised.
During 2003, a KPMG office outside the U.S. was retained to
provide tax consultation services related to tax liabilities of
a Motorola subsidiary in a foreign jurisdiction. In connection
with the matter, the partners in the KPMG office recommended a
third party consultant to assist Motorola with the matter.
Motorola hired the consultant on a contingent fee basis. During
2004, the tax services were completed and the consultant was
paid a fee of approximately $625,000. In 2005, KPMG discovered
that the consultant gave approximately 96% of the fee to the two
KPMG partners in the local KPMG office. After investigating the
matter, KPMG told the Committee that it believed that the
actions by the KPMG office violated the SECs auditor
independence rules but did not compromise the auditor
independence. The Committee agreed with the conclusion that
KPMGs independence was not compromised for several reasons
including the following: Motorola employees had no knowledge of
the improper arrangement; the operations of the Motorola
subsidiary in the country were immaterial to the Company; the
KPMG office and partners did not participate in the Motorola
audit; the KPMG (U.S.) audit team had no knowledge of the
improper arrangements; and KPMG (U.S.) refunded the contingent
fees paid by Motorola. The second matter reviewed by the
Committee involved a KPMG office outside the U.S. providing
corporate secretarial services in 2005. The KPMG office assisted
Motorola in making a final tax payment in the foreign
jurisdiction of less than $3,000. The Committee reviewed the
matter and concluded that independence was not compromised
because of the nature of the services and the de minimis
amount involved.
45
PROXY STATEMENT
KPMG also has confirmed in writing as required by Independence
Standards Board Standard No. 1, that, in its
professional judgment, it is independent of the Company under
all relevant professional and regulatory standards. Based on its
continued monitoring activities and year-end review, the
Committee satisfied itself as to the independent registered
public accounting firms independence.
The Committee also discussed with management, the internal
auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm,
the quality and adequacy of the Companys internal controls
and the internal audit functions management, organization,
responsibilities, budget and staffing. The Committee reviewed
with both the independent registered public accounting firm and
the internal auditors their audit plans, audit scope, and
identification of audit risks.
The Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent
registered public accounting firm all matters required by the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), including those described in SAS No. 61,
Communications with Audit Committees. With and
without management present, the Committee discussed and reviewed
the results of the independent registered public accounting
firms examination of the consolidated financial
statements. The Committee also discussed the results of the
internal audit examinations.
The Committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2005, with management and the independent
registered public accounting firm. Management has the
responsibility for the preparation and integrity of the
Companys consolidated financial statements and the
independent registered public accounting firm has the
responsibility for the examination of those statements. Based on
the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and
the independent registered public accounting firm, the Committee
recommended to the Board that the Companys audited
consolidated financial statements be included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Committee also reviewed managements report on its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and the report
of the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm on managements assessment and on the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005. Management is responsible for
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting. The Companys independent
registered public accounting firm has the responsibility for
auditing managements assessment and the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting and expressing an
opinion thereon based on their audit. Based on the
above-mentioned review and discussions with management and the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm,
the Committee recommended to the Board that managements
report on its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005
and the report of our independent registered public accounting
firm be included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As specified in the Audit and Legal Committee Charter, it is not
the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to
determine that the Companys consolidated financial
statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. That is the
responsibility of management and the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm.
In giving its recommendation to the Board of Directors, the
Committee has relied on: (i) managements
representation that such consolidated financial statements have
been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and
(ii) the reports of the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm with respect to such
consolidated financial statements.

Audit and Legal Committee Pre-Approval Policies
In addition to retaining KPMG to audit the Companys
consolidated financial statements and internal controls over
financial reporting for 2005, KPMG and other accounting firms
were retained to provide auditing and advisory services in 2005.
The Audit and Legal Committee (the Committee) has restricted the
non-audit services that KPMG may provide to the Company
primarily to divestiture and acquisition related due diligence
and audit services, financial statement audits of employee
benefit plans, audit related assurance services, and certain tax
services. The Committee has further determined that the Company
will obtain non-audit services from KPMG only when the services
offered by KPMG are more effective than other service providers
and do not impair the independence of KPMG.
47
PROXY STATEMENT
The Audit and Legal Committee Auditor Fee Policy requires the
pre-approval of all professional services provided to the
Company by KPMG. Below is a summary of the policy and procedures.
The Committee reviews the annual audit plan and pre-approves the
estimated annual audit budget.
The Committee policy includes an approved list of non-audit
services that KPMG can provide including audit related services,
tax services, and other services. The Committee pre-approves an
annual budget for all KPMG
non-audit services and
reviews the description of services in the budget. The Committee
allows the Companys Controller to authorize payment for
any audit and non-audit service in the approved budget. The
Committee also provides the Companys Controller with the
authority to pre-approve fees less than $25,000 that were not in
the budget but that are in the list of services approved by the
Committee. The Controller is responsible to report any approval
decisions to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The
Committee reviews, and if necessary, approves an updated
estimate of the annual audit and non-audit services and fees
budget in comparison to the previous approved budget at each
regular Committee meeting.
In 2005, management did not approve any services that were not
on the list of services pre-approved by the Committee.

PERFORMANCE GRAPHS
The following graphs compare the five-year and one-year
cumulative total returns of Motorola, Inc., the S&P 500
Index and the S&P Communications Equipment Index.
These graphs assume $100 was invested in the stock or the Index
on December 31, 2000 or December 31, 2004,
respectively, and also assume the reinvestment of dividends. The
five-year performance graph assumes reinvestment of the
Companys distribution to its shareholders of .110415
shares of Class B common stock of Freescale Semiconductor,
Inc. (Freescale Class B Shares) on
December 2, 2004 for each share of Motorola Common Stock.
For purposes of this graph, the Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
distribution is treated as a non-taxable cash dividend of $2.06
(the value of .110415 Freescale Class B Shares, based on
Freescale Semiconductors December 2, 2004 closing
price of $18.69) that would have been reinvested in Motorola
Common Stock at the close of business on December 2, 2004.

OTHER MATTERS

named in the accompanying proxy to vote or act with respect to
them in accordance with their best judgment.

PROXY STATEMENT
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Each director and certain officers of the Company are required
to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, by a
specified date, his or her transactions related to Motorola
Common Stock. Based solely on a review of the copies of reports
furnished to the Company or written representations that no
other reports were required, the Company believes that, during
the 2005 fiscal year, all filing requirements applicable to its
officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were
complied with, however, Mr. Negroponte, a director, was
late in filing a Form 4 to report one transaction that took
place prior to fiscal year 2005.
Manner and Cost of Proxy Solicitation
The Company pays the cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to
mailing proxies, officers, directors and regular employees of
the Company, acting on its behalf, may solicit proxies by
telephone or personal interview. Also, the Company has retained
D.F. King & Co. to aid in soliciting proxies. The Company
will pay an estimated fee of $20,000, plus expenses, to D.F.
King. The Company will, at its expense, request brokers and
other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy
soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares held of
record by such persons.
Householding of Proxy Materials
In December of 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission
adopted new rules that permit companies and intermediaries
(e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy
statements with respect to two or more security holders sharing
the same address by delivering a single proxy statement
addressed to those security holders. This process, which is
commonly referred to as householding, potentially
means extra convenience for security holders and cost savings
for companies.
As in the past few years, a number of brokers with
accountholders who are Motorola stockholders will be
householding our proxy materials. As indicated in
the notice previously provided by these brokers to Motorola
stockholders, a single proxy statement will be delivered to
multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary
instructions have been received from an affected stockholder.
Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be
householding communications to your address,
householding will continue until you are notified
otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you
no longer wish to participate in householding and
would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please
notify your broker or call us at
1-800-262-8509 or write
us at Secretary, Motorola, Inc., 1303 E. Algonquin Road,
Schaumburg, IL 60196.
Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy
statement at their address and would like to request
householding of their communications should contact
their broker.

Form of Letter to Employee-Stockholders
March 10, 2006
To Motorola Employee-Stockholders:
You are cordially invited to attend Motorolas 2006 Annual
Stockholders Meeting. The meeting will be held on Monday,
May 1, 2006 at 5:00 p.m., local time at the Rosemont
Theater, 5400 N. River Road Rosemont, IL 60018.
2005 was a great year for Motorola in which we achieved record
results. We generated operating cash flow of $4.6 billion,
achieved record sales of $36.8 billion up
18 percent as compared to 2004 and solidified
our position in the wireless handset industry with an estimated
18 percent global market share. Our balance sheet, with
more than $10.5 billion in net cash, is the strongest it
has been in Motorolas history. Importantly, we
significantly advanced Motorolas vision of Seamless
Mobility, extended our design leadership and launched innovative
new products, led by the iconic RAZR V3, and solutions that
delighted our customers. Motorola is poised for continued growth
and success with an unrivaled portfolio of products and
technologies in our Mobile Devices, Government and Enterprise
Mobility Solutions, Networks and Connected Home Solutions
segments.
During the year, Motorola was awarded the National Medal of
Technology for its outstanding contributions to Americas
technological innovation and competitiveness over its more than
75-year history. The National Medal of Technology, established
in 1980 by an act of Congress, is the highest honor awarded by
the President to Americas leading innovators. The award
recognizes that since its founding in 1928, Motorola has stood
on the cutting edge of innovation in areas such as two-way
radios, cellular communication, paging, space flight
communication, semiconductors and integrated, digital enhanced
networks. As a result, the company has helped establish entirely
new industries and driven the phenomenal growth of portable and
mobile communications. Every Motorola employee is honored by
this award.
At this years Annual Meeting, in addition to electing the
12 members of our Board of Directors, we are asking our
shareholders to approve the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of
2006. The updated plan is an important part of our effort to
recruit, motivate and retain world-class employees. The proposal
is discussed in greater detail in the Proxy Statement.
As co-workers and stockholders in a publicly-traded company, we
also share responsibility for Motorolas governance. So I
encourage each of you to exercise this responsibility by voting
your shares through one of the three convenient methods
described on the enclosed proxy card. I would appreciate your
support of the nominated directors and the Motorola Omnibus
Incentive Plan of 2006.
As always, I thank you for your dedication, hard work and
continued support. Lets join together to manage the
company for success in 2006!
Edward J. Zander
Chairman and CEO,
Motorola, Inc.

MOTOROLA OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN OF 2006
1. Purpose. The purposes of the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006 (the Plan) are (i)
to encourage outstanding individuals to accept or continue employment with Motorola, Inc.
(Motorola or the Company) and its Subsidiaries or to serve as directors of Motorola, and (ii)
to furnish maximum incentive to those persons to improve operations and increase profits and to
strengthen the mutuality of interest between those persons and Motorolas stockholders by providing
them stock options and other stock and cash incentives.
2. Administration. The Plan will be administered by a Committee (the Committee) of the
Motorola Board of Directors consisting of two or more directors as the Board may designate from
time to time, each of whom shall satisfy such requirements as:
(a) the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans
intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 or its successor under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act);
(b) the New York Stock Exchange may establish pursuant to its rule-making authority; and
(c) the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under plans
intended to qualify for exemption under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code).
The Compensation and Leadership Committee shall serve as the Committee administering the Plan until
such time as the Board designates a different Committee.
The Committee shall have the discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and any
benefits granted thereunder, to establish and amend rules for Plan administration, to change the
terms and conditions of options and other benefits at or after grant, to correct any defect or
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any option or other benefit
granted under the Plan, and to make all other determinations which it deems necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan. The determinations of the Committee shall be made
in accordance with their judgment as to the best interests of Motorola and its stockholders and in
accordance with the purposes of the Plan. Any determination of the Committee under the Plan may be
made without notice or meeting of the Committee, in writing signed by all the Committee members.
The Committee may authorize one or more officers of the Company to select employees to participate
in the Plan and to determine the number of option shares and other awards to be granted to such
participants, except with respect to awards to officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act
or officers who are, or who are reasonably expected to be, covered employees within the meaning
of Section 162(m) of the Code (Covered Employees) and any reference in the Plan to the Committee
shall include such officer or officers.
3. Participants. Participants may consist of all employees of Motorola and its Subsidiaries
and all non-employee directors of Motorola; provided, however, the following individuals shall be
excluded from participation in the plan: (a) contract labor (including without limitation black
badges, brown badges, contractors, consultants, contract employees and job shoppers) regardless of
length of service; (b) employees whose base wage or base salary is not processed for payment by a
Payroll Department of Motorola or any Subsidiary; (c) any individual performing services under an
independent contractor or consultant agreement, a purchase order, a supplier agreement or any other
agreement that the Company enters into for service. Any corporation or other entity in which a 50%
or greater interest is at the time directly or indirectly owned by Motorola and which Motorola
consolidates for financial reporting purposes shall be a Subsidiary for purposes of the Plan.
Designation of a participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate that person
to receive a benefit in any other year or to receive the same type or amount of benefit as granted
to the participant in any other year or as granted to any other participant in any year. The
Committee shall consider all factors that it deems relevant in selecting participants and in
determining the type and amount of their respective benefits.
4. Shares Available under the Plan. There is hereby reserved for issuance under the Plan an
aggregate of 80 million shares of Motorola common stock. In connection with approving this Plan,
and contingent upon receipt of stockholder approval of this Plan, the Board of Directors has
approved a merger of the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2003, Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan
of 2002, the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2000, and the
Motorola Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 1998 (collectively, the Prior Plans) into this Plan, so that on or after the
date this Plan is approved by stockholders, the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance
under this Plan shall not exceed (a) the total number of shares reserved for issuance under this
Plan plus (b) the number of shares approved and available for grant under the Prior Plans as of the
date of such stockholder approval plus (c) any shares that
become available for issuance pursuant to
the remainder of this section 4.. If there is (i) a lapse, expiration, termination, forfeiture or
cancellation of any Stock Option or other benefit outstanding under this Plan, a Prior Plan or
under the Motorola Share Option Plan of 1996 (the 1996 Plan) prior to the issuance of shares
thereunder or (ii) a forfeiture of any shares of restricted stock or shares subject to stock awards
granted under this Plan, a Prior Plan or the 1996 Plan prior to vesting, then the shares subject to
these options or other benefits shall be added to the shares available for benefits under the Plan
(to the extent permitted under the terms of the Prior Plans or the 1996 Plan if the award
originally occurred under such plan). Shares covered by a benefit granted under the Plan shall not
be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to a participant. Any
shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right (including a Stock Appreciation Right settled in stock
which the Committee, in its discretion, may substitute for an outstanding Stock Option) shall be
counted as used only to the extent shares are actually issued to the participant upon exercise of
the right. In addition, any shares of common stock exchanged by an optionee as full or partial
payment of the exercise price under any stock option exercised under the Plan, any shares retained
by Motorola to comply with applicable income tax withholding requirements, and any shares covered
by a benefit which is settled in cash, shall be added to the shares available for benefits under
the Plan (to the extent permitted under the terms of the Prior Plans or the 1996 Plan if the award
originally occurred under such plan). All shares issued under the Plan may be either authorized
and unissued shares or issued shares reacquired by Motorola. All of the available shares may, but
need not, be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options (as defined in Section 422
of the Code); provided, however, notwithstanding an Options designation, to the extent that
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar
year with respect to Shares whose aggregate Fair Market Value exceeds $100,000 (regardless of
whether such Incentive Stock Options were granted under this Plan, the Prior Plans or the 1996
Plan), such Options shall be treated as nonqualified Stock Options.
Under the Plan, no participant may receive in any calendar year (i) Stock Options relating to
more than 3,000,000 shares, (ii) Stock Appreciation Rights relating to more than 3,000,000 shares,
(iii) Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units relating to more than 1,500,000 shares, (iv)
Performance Shares relating to more than 1,500,000 shares, or (v) Deferred Stock Units relating to
more than 50,000 shares. No non-employee director may receive in any calendar year Stock Options
relating to more than 50,000 shares or Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units relating to
more than 50,000 shares.
The shares reserved for issuance and each of the limitations set forth above shall be subject
to adjustment in accordance with section 16 hereof.
5. Types of Benefits. Benefits under the Plan shall consist of Stock Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units, Performance
Shares, Performance Cash Awards, Annual Management Incentive Awards and Other Stock or Cash Awards,
all as described below.
6. Stock Options. Stock Options may be granted to participants, at any time as determined by
the Committee. The Committee shall determine the number of shares subject to each option and
whether the option is an Incentive Stock Option. The exercise price for each option shall be
determined by the Committee but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of Motorolas
common stock on the date the option is granted. Each option shall expire at such time as the
Committee shall determine at the time of grant. Options shall be exercisable at such time and
subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine; provided, however, that no
option shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of its grant. The exercise price,
upon exercise of any option, shall be payable to Motorola in full by (a) cash payment or its
equivalent, (b) tendering previously acquired shares having a fair market value at the time of
exercise equal to the exercise price or certification of ownership of such previously-acquired
shares, (c) to the extent permitted by applicable law, delivery of a properly executed exercise
notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to Motorola the
amount of sale proceeds from the option shares or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price and any
withholding taxes due to Motorola, and (d) such other methods of payment as the
Committee, at its discretion, deems appropriate. In no event shall the Committee cancel any outstanding Stock Option
for the purpose of reissuing the option to the participant at a lower exercise price or reduce the
exercise price of an outstanding option.
7. Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) may be granted to
participants at any time as determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, the Committee may, in its discretion, substitute SARs which can be settled only in stock
for outstanding Stock Options. The grant price of a substitute SAR shall be equal to the exercise
price of the related option and the substitute SAR shall have substantive terms (e.g., duration)
that are equivalent to the related option. The grant price of any other SAR shall be equal to the
fair market value of Motorolas common stock on the date of its grant. An SAR may be exercised
upon such terms and conditions and for the term as the Committee in its sole discretion determines;
provided, however, that the term shall not exceed the option term in the case of a substitute SAR
or ten years in the case of any other SAR and the terms and conditions applicable to a substitute
SAR shall be substantially the same as those applicable to the Stock Option which it replaces.
Upon exercise of an SAR, the participant shall be entitled to receive payment from Motorola in an
amount determined by multiplying the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock on
the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR by the number of shares with respect to which
the SAR is exercised. The payment may be made in cash or stock, at the discretion of the
Committee, except in the case of a substitute SAR payment may be made only in stock. In no event
shall the Committee cancel any outstanding SAR for the purpose of reissuing the right to the
participant at a lower grant price or reduce the grant price of an outstanding SAR.
8. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
may be awarded or sold to participants under such terms and conditions as shall be established by
the Committee. Restricted Stock provides participants the rights to receive shares after vesting
in accordance with the terms of such grant upon the attainment of certain conditions specified by
the Committee. Restricted Stock Units provide participants the right to receive shares at a
future date after vesting in accordance with the terms of such grant upon the attainment of certain
conditions specified by the Committee. Restricted Stock and Restricted
Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee determines, including, without limitation, any of the
following:
(a) a prohibition against sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other
encumbrance for a specified period;
(b) a requirement that the holder forfeit (or in the case of shares or units sold to the
participant, resell to Motorola at cost) such shares or units in the event of termination of
employment during the period of restriction; or
(c) the attainment of performance goals including without limitation those described in
section 14 hereof.
All restrictions shall expire at such times as the Committee shall specify. In the Committees
discretion, participants may be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents on awards of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.
9. Deferred Stock Units. Deferred Stock Units provide a participant a vested right to receive
shares of common stock in lieu of other compensation at termination of employment or service or at
a specific future designated date. In the Committees discretion, Deferred Stock Units may include
the right to be credited with dividend equivalents in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the units.
10. Performance Shares. The Committee shall designate the participants to whom long-term
performance stock (Performance Shares) is to be awarded and determine the number of shares, the
length of the performance period and the other terms and conditions of each such award; provided
the stated performance period will not be less than 12 months. Each award of Performance Shares
shall entitle the participant to a payment in the form of shares of common stock upon the
attainment of performance goals and other terms and conditions specified by the Committee.
Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of shares issued under a
Performance Shares award may be adjusted by the Committee on the basis of such further
consideration as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine. However, the
Committee may not, in any event, increase the number of shares earned upon satisfaction of any performance goal
by any participant who is a Covered Employee (as defined in section 2 above). The Committee may,
in its discretion, make a cash payment equal to the fair market value of shares of common stock
otherwise required to be issued to a participant pursuant to a Performance Share award.
11. Performance Cash Awards. The Committee shall designate the participants to whom cash
incentives based upon long-term performance (Performance Cash Awards) are to be awarded and
determine the amount of the award and the terms and conditions of each such award; provided the
stated performance period will not be less than 12 months. Each Performance Cash Award shall
entitle the participant to a payment in cash upon the attainment of performance goals and other
terms and conditions specified by the Committee.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction of any performance goals, the amount to be paid under a
Performance Cash Award may be adjusted by the Committee on the basis of such further consideration
as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine. However, the Committee may not, in any
event, increase the amount earned under Performance Cash Awards upon satisfaction of any
performance goal by any participant who is a Covered Employee (as defined in section 2 above). The
Committee may, in its discretion, substitute actual shares of common stock for the cash payment
otherwise required to be made to a participant pursuant to a Performance Cash Award.
12. Annual Management Incentive Awards. The Committee may designate Motorola executive
officers who are eligible to receive a monetary payment in any calendar year based on a percentage
of an incentive pool equal to 5% of Motorolas consolidated earnings before income taxes (as
defined below) for the calendar year. The Committee shall allocate an incentive pool percentage to
each designated executive officer for each calendar year. In no event may the incentive pool
percentage for any one executive officer exceed 30% of the total pool.
For the purposes hereof, consolidated earnings before income taxes shall mean the
consolidated earnings before income taxes of the Company, computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, but shall exclude the effects of: the following items, if
and only if, such items are separately identified in the Companys quarterly earnings press releases: (i)
extraordinary, unusual and/or non-recurring items of gain or loss, (ii) gains or losses on the
disposition of a business or investment, (iii) changes in tax or accounting regulations or laws, or
(iv) the effect of a merger or acquisition.
As soon as possible after the determination of the incentive pool for a Plan year, the
Committee shall calculate the executive officers allocated portion of the incentive pool based
upon the percentage established at the beginning of the calendar year. The executive officers
incentive award then shall be determined by the Committee based on the executive officers
allocated portion of the incentive pool subject to adjustment in the sole discretion of the
Committee. In no event may the portion of the incentive pool allocated to an executive officer who
is a Covered Employee (as defined in section 2 above) be increased in any way, including as a
result of the reduction of any other executive officers allocated portion.
13. Other Stock or Cash Awards. In addition to the incentives described in sections 6 through
12 above, the Committee may grant other incentives payable in cash or in common stock under the
Plan as it determines to be in the best interests of Motorola and subject to such other terms and
conditions as it deems appropriate; provided an outright grant of stock will not be made unless it
is offered in exchange for cash compensation that has otherwise already been earned by the
recipient.
14. Performance Goals. Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance
Shares, Performance Cash Awards and other incentives under the Plan to a Covered Employee (as
defined in section 2) may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or
more business criteria within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, including, but not limited
to, cash flow; cost; ratio of debt to debt plus equity; profit before tax; economic profit;
earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization;
earnings per share; operating earnings; economic value added; ratio of operating earnings to
capital spending; free cash flow; net profit; net sales; sales growth; price of Motorola common
stock; return on net assets, equity or stockholders equity; market share; or total return to
stockholders (Performance Criteria). Any Performance Criteria may be used to measure the
performance of the Company as a whole or any business unit of the Company and
may be measured relative to a peer group or index. Performance Criteria shall be calculated in accordance with the
Companys financial statements (including without limitation the Companys consolidated earnings
before income taxes as defined in section 12), generally accepted accounting principles, or under
an objective methodology established by the Committee prior to the issuance of an award which is
consistently applied. However, the Committee may not in any event increase the amount of
compensation payable to a Covered Employee upon the attainment of a performance goal.
15. Change in Control. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant
of an award, upon a Change in Control of Motorola, (i) all outstanding Stock Options and SARs shall
become vested and exercisable; (ii) all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
shall lapse; (iii) all performance goals shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other
terms and conditions met; (iv) all Performance Shares shall be
delivered, all Performance Cash
Awards, Deferred Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units shall be paid out as promptly as
practicable; (v) all Annual Management Incentive Awards shall be paid out at target levels (or
earned levels, if greater) and all other terms and conditions deemed met; and (vi) all Other Stock
or Cash Awards shall be delivered or paid; provided, however, that the treatment of outstanding
awards set forth above (referred to herein as accelerated treatment) shall not apply if and to
the extent that such awards are assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or are
replaced with an award that preserves the existing value of the award at the time of the Change in
Control and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable
to the original award; provided, however, that with respect to any awards that are assumed or
replaced, such assumed or replaced awards shall provide for the accelerated treatment with respect
to any participant that is involuntarily terminated (for a reason other than Cause) or quits for
Good Reason within 24 months of the Change in Control.
The term Cause shall mean, with respect to any participant, (i) the participants
conviction of any criminal violation involving dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust
or (ii) the participants willful engagement in gross misconduct in the performance
of the participants duties that materially injures the Company or a Subsidiary.
The term Good Reason shall mean, with respect to any participant, without such
participants written consent, (i) the participant is assigned duties materially
inconsistent with his position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company
or a Subsidiary during the 90-day period immediately preceding a Change in Control,
or the participants position, authority, duties or responsibilities are materially
diminished from those in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding a
Change in Control (whether or not occurring solely as a result of the Company
ceasing to be a publicly traded entity), (ii) the Company reduces the participants
annual base salary or target incentive opportunity under the Companys annual
incentive plan, such target incentive opportunity as in effect during the 90-day
period immediately prior to the Change in Control, or as the same may be increased
from time to time, unless such target incentive opportunity is replaced by a
substantially equivalent substitute opportunity, (iii) the Company or a Subsidiary
requires the participant regularly to perform his duties of employment beyond a
fifty (50) mile radius from the location of the participants employment immediately
prior to the Change in Control, or (iv) the Company purports to terminate the
Participants employment other than pursuant to a notice of termination which
indicates the Participants employment has been terminated for Cause (as defined
above) and sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of the Participants employment.
A Change in Control shall mean:
A Change in Control of a nature that would be required to be reported in
response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereto, whether or not Motorola is then
subject to such reporting requirement; provided that, without limitation, such a
Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) any person or group
(as such terms are used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or
becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of Motorola representing 20%
or more of the combined voting power of Motorolas then outstanding securities (other than Motorola
or any employee benefit plan of Motorola; and, for purposes of the Plan, no Change
in Control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of the beneficial
ownership, or changes therein, of Motorolas securities by either of the
foregoing), (b) there shall be consummated (i) any consolidation or merger of
Motorola in which Motorola is not the surviving or continuing corporation or
pursuant to which shares of common stock would be converted into or exchanged for
cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of Motorola in which the
holders of common stock immediately prior to the merger have, directly or
indirectly, at least a 65% ownership interest in the outstanding common stock of the
surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (ii) any sale, lease,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions)
of all, or substantially all, of the assets of Motorola other than any such
transaction with entities in which the holders of Motorola common stock, directly or
indirectly, have at least a 65% ownership interest, (c) the stockholders of Motorola
approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of Motorola, or (d)
as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender offer, exchange offer,
merger or other business combination, sale of assets, proxy or consent solicitation
(other than by the Board), contested election or substantial stock accumulation (a
Control Transaction), the members of the Board immediately prior to the first
public announcement relating to such Control Transaction shall thereafter cease to
constitute a majority of the Board.
In the event that a payment or delivery of an award following a Change in Control would not be a
permissible distribution event, as defined in Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code or any regulations or
other guidance issued thereunder, then the payment or delivery shall be made on the earlier of (i)
the date of payment or delivery originally provided for such benefit, or (ii) the date of
termination of the participants employment or service with the Company or six months after such
termination in the case of a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i).
16. Adjustment Provisions.
(a) In the event of any change affecting the number, class, market price or terms of the
shares of common stock by reason of stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, spin-off, disaffiliation of a Subsidiary, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, stock rights offering, or other similar event, or any distribution to the holders of shares
of common stock other than a regular cash dividend, the Committee shall make such substitution or
adjustment in the number or class of shares which may be issued under the Plan in the aggregate or
to any one participant in any calendar year and in the number, class, price or terms of shares
subject to outstanding awards granted under the Plan as it deems appropriate.
(b) In direct connection with the sale, lease, distribution to stockholders, outsourcing
arrangement or any other type of asset transfer or transfer of any portion of a facility or any
portion of a discrete organizational unit of Motorola or a Subsidiary (a Divestiture), the
Committee may authorize the assumption or replacement of affected participants awards by the
spun-off facility or organization unit or by the entity that controls the spun-off facility or
organizational unit following disaffiliation.
(c) In the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of Motorola with or into
another corporation which results in the outstanding common stock of Motorola being converted into
or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof, there
shall be substituted, on an equitable basis as determined by the Committee in its discretion, for
each share of common stock then subject to a benefit granted under the Plan, the number and kind of
shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property to which holders of common stock of
Motorola will be entitled pursuant to the transaction.
17. Substitution and Assumption of Benefits. The Board of Directors or the Committee may
authorize the issuance of benefits under this Plan in connection with the assumption of, or
substitution for, outstanding benefits previously granted to individuals who become employees of
Motorola or any Subsidiary as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or
stock, or reorganization, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may deem appropriate.
Any substitute Awards granted under the Plan shall not count
against the share limitations set
forth in section 4 hereof, to the extent permitted by Section 303A.08 of the Corporate Governance
Standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
18. Nontransferability. Each benefit granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Stock Option and SAR shall be
exercisable during the participants lifetime only by the participant or, in the event of
disability, by the participants personal representative. In the event of the death of a
participant, exercise of any benefit or payment with respect to any benefit shall be made only by
or to the beneficiary, executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased participant or the
person or persons to whom the deceased participants rights under the benefit shall pass by will or
the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the approval of the Committee in its sole
discretion, Stock Options may be transferable to members of the immediate family of the participant
and to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members, partnerships in which such family
members are the only partners, or corporations in which such family members are the only
stockholders. Members of the immediate family means the participants spouse, children,
stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings (including half brothers and sisters),
and individuals who are family members by adoption.
19. Taxes. Motorola shall be entitled to withhold the amount of any tax attributable to any
amounts payable or shares deliverable under the Plan, after giving notice to the person entitled to
receive such payment or delivery and Motorola may defer making payment or delivery as to any award,
if any such tax is payable until indemnified to its satisfaction. A participant may pay all or a
portion of any withholding limited to the maximum statutory amount arising in connection with the
exercise of a Stock Option or SAR or the receipt or vesting of shares hereunder by electing to have
Motorola withhold shares of common stock, having a fair market value equal to the amount required
to be withheld.
20. Duration of the Plan. No award shall be made under the Plan more than ten years after the
date of its adoption by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the terms and conditions
applicable to any option granted on or before such date may thereafter be amended or modified by
mutual agreement between Motorola and the participant, or such other person as may then have an
interest therein.

(d) Neither the Plan nor any award shall confer upon a participant any right with respect to

the participants right or the Companys right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or
without cause, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and any enforceable agreement between the
employee and the Company.
(e) No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any award, and

(f) Payments and other benefits received by a participant under an award made pursuant to the
Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participants compensation for purposes of determining the
participants benefits under any other employee benefit plans or arrangements provided by the
Company or a Subsidiary, notwithstanding any provision of such plan to the contrary, unless the
Committee expressly provides otherwise in writing.
(g) The Committee may permit participants to defer the receipt of payments of awards pursuant
to such rules, procedures or programs is may establish for purposes of this Plan. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that awards under the Plan are subject to

interpreted and administered so that it is consistent with such Code section.
