Executive Compensation

At Amgen, we are interested in feedback from our stockholders on our executive compensation policies and practices.  These policies and practices are described in our 2009 Proxy Statement under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” (a link to our 2009 Proxy Statement is provided below).

Our executive compensation policies and practices were designed primarily to provide long-term, performance-based incentives.  The three components of our executive compensation program are: (1) base salaries, which provide financial security and reward individual contributions; (2) annual cash incentives, which are awarded when yearly performance goals are met; and (3) long-term equity incentives, which are meant to ensure that the interests of our executives and stockholders are aligned.

To give us feedback on these policies and practices please click here.  Responses from our stockholders will be reviewed and shared with the Compensation and Management Development Committee of our Board of Directors.

Reponses through December 2009 have been shared with the Compensation and Management Development Committee of our Board of Directors. For an aggregation of these comments, please click here.
