Gap shrinks board and compensation


Gap's Board of Directors announced it has decided to reduce the size of the Board from 13 to 10 members, and to cut the compensation for remaining Board members for 2009 by reducing both the annual cash retainer and stock compensation by 15 percent. The company also disclosed that Glenn Murphy, Chairman and CEO of Gap Inc., volunteered to cut his annual salary by 15 percent, and merit-based salary increases were eliminated for most headquarters employees for 2009.

As part of this announcement, two members of the Board – Howard Behar and Penelope Hughes – agreed not to stand for re-election for a new term in May 2009 at the time of the company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, company co-founder Doris Fisher has decided not to stand for re-election at that time and will assume the role of honorary lifetime director.
