Voting by Proxy
Mark C. Pigott and John M. Fluke, Jr., are designated proxy holders to vote shares on behalf of stockholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting. The proxy holders are authorized to:
| | vote shares as instructed by the stockholders who have properly
completed and returned the proxy form; |

| | vote shares as recommended by the Board when stockholders have
executed and returned the proxy form, but have given no
instructions; and |
| | vote shares at their discretion on any matter not identified in
the proxy form that is properly brought before the Annual
Meeting. |
The Trustee for the PACCAR Inc Savings Investment Plan (the SIP) votes shares held in the SIP according to each members instructions on the proxy form.

The 2010 proxy statement and the 2009 Annual Report to stockholders are available on the Companys Website at www.paccar.com/2010annualmeeting/ .
Stockholders who hold shares in a bank or brokerage account who previously elected to receive the annual meeting materials electronically and now wish to change their election and receive paper copies may contact their bank or broker to change their election.
Stockholders who receive annual meeting materials electronically will receive a notice when the proxy materials become available with instructions on how to access them over the Internet.
Multiple Stockholders Sharing the Same Address
Registered stockholders at a shared address who would like to discontinue receipt of multiple copies of the annual report and proxy statement in the future should contact Wells Fargo Shareowner Services at 1.877.602.7615 or P.O. Box 64854, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0854.

Some street name stockholders elected to receive one copy of the 2009 Annual Report and 2010 Proxy Statement at a shared address prior to the 2010 Annual Meeting. If those stockholders now wish to change that election, they may do so by contacting their bank, broker, or PACCAR at 425.468.7520 or P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, Washington 98009.
Vote Required and Method of Counting Votes
The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by duly authorized proxy, of a majority of all the stock issued and outstanding and having voting power shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
Item 1: Election of Directors
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast for the election of directors. If a stockholder does not vote for the election of directors because the authority to vote is withheld, because the proxy is not returned, because the broker holding the shares does not vote, or because of some other reason, the shares will not count in determining the total number of votes for each nominee. The Companys Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Proxies signed and returned unmarked will be voted FOR the nominees for Class III Director. Please note that brokers may no longer vote on the election of directors in the absence of specific client instruction. Those who hold shares in a brokerage account are encouraged to provide voting instructions to their broker.
If any nominee is unable to act as director because of an unexpected occurrence, the proxy holders may vote the proxies for another person or the Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors to be elected.
Items 2, 3 and 4: Stockholder Proposals
To be approved, each item must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will count as a vote against each item. Broker nonvotes do not affect the voting calculations. Proxies that are signed and returned unmarked will be voted AGAINST Items 2, 3 and 4.

The Board of Directors maintains a corporate governance section on its website which includes key information about its governance practices. The Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines, its Board committee charters and its Code of Business Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are located at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/boardofdirectors.asp .
The Company bylaws provide that the chairman of the board also serves as the chief executive officer (CEO). The Board believes the combined role of chairman and CEO promotes unified leadership and direction for the company, which allows for a single, clear focus for management to execute the companys strategy and business plans. This leadership structure has resulted in the continued excellent growth and long-term financial success of the company.
The Company has adopted policies to ensure a strong and independent board. The Board regularly meets in executive session without the presence of management. Board members rotate the chairmanship of these sessions. The Board has not designated a lead independent director. Seventy-five percent of the Companys directors are independent as defined under NASDAQ regulations. The Board oversees risk through management presentations at Board meetings and through its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee charter provides that the Committee shall discuss with management the Companys risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. As part of this process, the Committee receives periodic reports from the Companys internal auditor and from its general counsel and the committee reports to the full Board at least twice a year.
Stockholders may contact the Board of Directors by writing to: The Board of Directors, PACCAR Inc, 11th Floor, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, WA 98009, or by e-mailing [email protected] . The Corporate Secretary will receive, process and acknowledge receipt of all written stockholder communications. Suggestions or concerns involving accounting, internal controls or auditing matters will be directed to the Audit Committee chairman. Concerns regarding other matters will be directed to the individual director or committee named in the correspondence. If no identification is made, the matter will be directed to the Executive Committee of the Board.
The Board of Directors met four times during 2009. Each member attended at least 75 percent of the combined total of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board on which each served. All Company directors are expected to attend each annual stockholder meeting. All directors attended the annual stockholder meeting in April 2009 except Ms. Carnwath and Messrs. Hachigian and Williamson.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table
On the first business day of the year, each non-employee director receives $90,000 in restricted stock or restricted stock units under the RSDC Plan. The number of shares received is determined by dividing $90,000 by the closing price of a share of Company stock on the first business day of the year. Non-employee directors

elected during the calendar year receive a prorated award to reflect the number of calendar quarters the director will serve in the year of election. Restricted shares vest three years after the date of grant or upon mandatory retirement after age 72, death or disability. Directors receive dividends and voting rights on all shares during the vesting period. Effective January 1, 2008, the RSDC Plan was amended to allow non-employee directors to elect to receive a credit to the stock unit account in lieu of a grant of restricted stock. The account is credited with the number of shares otherwise applicable to the grant of restricted stock and subject to the same vesting conditions. Thereafter dividends earned are treated as if they were reinvested at the closing price of Company stock on the date the dividend is payable.
Non-employee directors may elect to defer all or a part of their cash retainer and fees to an income account or to a stock unit account under the RSDC Plan. The income account accrues interest at a rate equal to the simple combined average of the monthly Aa Industrial Bond yield averages for the immediately preceding quarter and is compounded quarterly. Stock unit accounts are credited with the number of shares of Company common stock that could have been purchased at the closing price on the date the cash compensation is payable. Thereafter dividends earned are treated as if they were reinvested at the closing price of Company stock on the date the dividend is payable. The balances in a directors deferred accounts are paid out at or after retirement or termination in accordance with the directors deferred account election. The balance in the stock unit account is distributed in shares of the Companys common stock.
The Company provides transportation for or reimburses non-employee directors for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services. It also pays or reimburses directors for expenses incurred to participate in continuing education programs.
Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors
All non-employee directors are expected to hold at least $200,000 worth of Company stock and/or deferred stock units while serving as a director. Directors have three years from date of appointment to attain this ownership threshold. All non-employee directors with three or more years of service are in compliance as of January 1, 2010.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Under its Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving related-person transactions as set forth in Item 404 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K. The Committee will consider whether such transactions are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company has written procedures designed to bring such transactions to the attention of management. Management is responsible for presenting related-person transactions to the Audit Committee for review and approval.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Companys directors and executive officers to report to the SEC on a timely basis their ownership of Company stock and any changes in such ownership. The Company believes that all of its directors and executive officers complied with all reporting requirements on a timely basis during 2009 except that a timely filed report for R. E. Armstrong had a clerical error in the number of stock options granted and was corrected.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CD&A)
Compensation Program Objectives and Structure
PACCARs compensation programs are designed to attract and retain high-quality executives, link incentives to the Companys superior performance and align the interests of management with those of stockholders. These programs offer compensation that is competitive with companies that operate in the same industries globally. PACCARs goal is to achieve superior performance measured against its industry peers. Under the supervision of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee), composed exclusively of independent directors, the Company compensation objectives utilize programs that have delivered 71 consecutive years of net income, yearly dividends since 1941 and excellent stockholder returns. The compensation framework has these components:
Short-term performance compensation:
| | Salary. The fixed amount of compensation for performing day-to-day responsibilities. |
|---|---|
| | Annual incentive cash compensation. Annual cash awards that |
| focus on the attainment of Company yearly profitability and | |
| individual business unit goals. |
Long-term performance compensation:
An equity-and cash-based Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) that focuses on long-term growth in stockholder value, including three-year performance versus industry peers as measured by growth in net income, return on sales and return on capital. The equity-based compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock.
The Committee believes that this combination of salary, cash incentives and equity-based compensation provides appropriate incentives for executives to deliver superior short-and long-term business performance and stockholder returns.
The Named Executive Officers and all U.S. salaried employees participate in the Companys retirement programs. The Named Executive Officers also participate in the Companys unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan described on page 25, which provides a retirement benefit to those employees affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and other qualified plan benefit limitations. The Company does not provide any other significant perquisites or executive benefits to its Named Executive Officers.
Executive Compensation Criteria
The Compensation Committee considers a number of important factors when reviewing and determining executive compensation, including Company performance, business unit performance, individual performance and compensation for executives among peer organizations. The Committee also considers the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer when determining compensation for the executives that report to him.
Role of Compensation Consultant. The Committee does not retain a compensation consultant on an annual basis and it did not retain one in 2009.
Industry Compensation Comparison Groups. The Compensation Committee periodically utilizes information from industry-published compensation surveys as well as compensation data from peer companies to determine if compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers is competitive with the market. The Committee believes that comparative compensation information should be used in its deliberations. It does not specify a target compensation level for any given executive but rather a range of target compensation. The Committee has discretion to determine the nature and extent to which it will use comparative compensation data.

Peer Companies. As part of its analysis of comparative data, the Committee includes compensation data from Peer Companies. In particular, the Company measures its financial performance against Peer Companies when evaluating achievement of the cash portion of the LTIP Company performance goal and applicable goals under the restricted stock share match program. The nine Peer Companies for the LTIP 2007-2009 cycle are:
| ArvinMeritor Inc. | Caterpillar Inc. | Cummins Inc. |
|---|---|---|
| Dana Corporation | Deere & Company | Eaton Corporation |
| Ingersoll-Rand Company Ltd. | Navistar International Corporation | Oshkosh Truck Corporation |
As discussed in the 2008 proxy statement, effective with the LTIP 2008-2010 cycle, the following are the Peer Companies for purposes of the Company performance goal in the LTIP cash program and the applicable goals under the share match program. These companies also comprise the index used in the stock performance graph set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and page 31 of this proxy statement. The Committee reviews the composition of the Peer Companies annually to ensure the companies are appropriate for comparative purposes.
| 2009 Revenue | |
|---|---|
| Company Name | (in |
| billions) | |
| Caterpillar Inc. | $ 32.396 |
| Cummins Inc. | 10.800 |
| Danaher Corp. | 11.185 |
| Deere & Company | 22.598 |
| Dover Corp. | 5.776 |
| Eaton Corporation | 11.873 |
| Harley-Davidson Inc. | 4.782 |
| Honeywell International Inc. | 30.908 |
| Illinois Tool Works | 13.877 |
| Ingersoll-Rand Company Ltd. | 13.195 |
| United Technologies Corp. | 52.920 |
| PACCAR Inc | 8.087 |
Elements of Total Compensation
The Companys executive compensation program is comprised of base salaries, annual cash incentives, and long-term incentives consisting of cash, stock options and restricted stock.
Compensation Mix. The Companys executive compensation program structure includes a balance of annual and long-term incentives, cash and Company equity. At higher levels of responsibility within the Company, the senior executives have a larger percentage of total compensation at risk based on Company performance incentive programs. For 2009, the Committee approved target allocations as displayed below. The Company believes these allocations promote its objectives of profitable growth and superior long-term results. M. A. Tembreull retired as Vice Chairman and principal financial officer on January 2, 2009. He is listed as a Named Executive Officer in this proxy statement, but his compensation is based on 2008 performance. He is not included in the analysis in the CD&A for 2009 compensation.

& CEO | Other Named Executive
Officers |
| --- | --- |
| 2009 Target Compensation Structure | 2009 Average Target Compensation Structure |
Base Salary. Base salary provides a fixed, baseline level of compensation that is not contingent upon Company performance. It is important that base salaries are competitive with industry peer companies to attract and retain high-caliber executives. The midpoints of the base salary ranges are set at approximately the market median of the 2006 Hewitt survey, described on page 12 of the 2009 proxy statement, with minimums at 70 percent of the midpoint and maximums at 130 percent of the midpoint and the midpoints were not changed in 2009. An executive officers actual salary relative to this salary range reflects his or her responsibility, experience and individual performance.
The Committee periodically reviews base salaries every 12 to 24 months and may or may not approve changes. Consistent with this practice, the Committee reviewed the salary of each Named Executive Officer and on January 1, 2009, R. E. Armstrong received a 5.4 percent increase over his December 1, 2007 base salary. There were no base salary increases for any other Named Executive Officers in 2009. The Chief Executive Officer suggested the salary revision for the Named Executive Officer. It was consistent with the Companys overall compensation guidelines. The Committee believes that the base salary of each of the Named Executive Officers is appropriate based on scope of responsibility, tenure with the Company, individual performance and competitive pay practices.
Annual Incentive Cash Compensation (IC). This program provides yearly cash incentives for the Named Executive Officers to achieve annual Company profit and business unit goals. The Committee sets annual performance goals and a threshold, target and maximum award for each Named Executive Officer, expressed as a percentage of base salary. In 2009, the Committee lowered the maximum award achievable from 200 percent of target for 140 percent of goal achievement to 160 percent of target for 130 percent goal achievement to reduce compensation expense. 2009 Awards are measured on a sliding scale as follows:
Begin box 1
| % of Goal Achieved | <70 | 70 | 85 | 100 | 115 | 130% and above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| % of Target Paid | 0 % | 40 % | 70 % | 100 % | 130 % | 160% |
End box 1
A hallmark of the annual cash incentive program has been a consistent and rigorous focus on achieving the Companys annual net profit goal. The Committee has chosen net profit, not EBITDA or operating profit, as the chief financial metric for this program because it is the primary indicator of corporate performance to stockholders. When setting incentive compensation goals for the Named Executive Officers, the Committee believes that corporate performance is an appropriate measure of individual performance. Accordingly, the
XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

Table of Contents
BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End
2009 goal for four of the Named Executive Officers is based entirely upon Company performance relative to an overall net profit goal proposed by Company management and approved by the Committee within the first 90 days of each year. The target level represents an amount of net profit that the Committee determines is attainable with outstanding performance under expected economic conditions. The Committee assesses annual goal achievement and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers.
IC Awards for the Named Executive Officers are subject to the terms of the Senior Executive Yearly Incentive Compensation Plan (the IC Plan) approved by the stockholders as required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under the Plan is $4,000,000. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award earned by the Named Executive Officers based on an assessment of individual performance.
For 2009, the Companys net profit target was $300 million and actual net profit was $111.9 million, an excellent result considering the difficult recession. However, the net profit was less than the threshold required for an award so none of the Named Executive Officers received payment on the Company profit goal. The Committee concluded that R. E. Armstrong did not meet the threshold for division profit but he exceeded the business leadership goal of improving the Companys financial liquidity, reaffirmation of the Companys credit rating and issuance of term debt and approved a payout of 32 percent of the overall target. The Committee did not exercise discretion to make modifications to any award. The following table outlines the 2009 goals and incentive awards for each Named Executive Officer.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation (LTIP). The Companys long-term incentive program is based on a multi-year performance period and provides annual grants of stock options, restricted stock and cash incentive awards. The LTIP aligns the interests of stockholders with those of executives to focus on long-term growth in stockholder value. In late 2008, the Committee anticipated that difficult economic conditions would prevail through 2009. The Committee reduced the Companys compensation expense by lowering the potential LTIP payout. This was achieved by restricting the target grant levels for the 2009-2011 LTIP cycle to the percentage of base salary used for the 2005-2007 LTIP cycle and it also suspended the restricted stock program for 2009. The 2009 target for each element of the long-term compensation program for each Named Executive Officer is calculated as a percentage of base salary as indicated in the table below.
| Long-Term | Stock | Restricted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Cash | Options | Stock |
| M. C. Pigott | 60 % | 450 % | 0 % |
| T. E. Plimpton | 50 % | 325 % | 0 % |

Long-term incentive compensation cash award. This program focuses on long-term growth in stockholder value by providing an incentive for superior Company performance that is measured against Peer Companies performance over a three-year period. Company performance is measured by three-year compound growth in net income, return on sales and return on capital (weighted equally) as compared to the Peer Companies (Company Performance Goal). Named Executive Officers and all executive officers are eligible for a long-term incentive cash award based upon three-year performance goals approved by the Committee with a new performance period beginning every calendar year.
For the 2009-2011 cycle, the Committee approved the following goals:
| Financial Performance and — Individual Performance | Performance | |
|---|---|---|
| Measures for | Measure as a | |
| Name | LTIP 2009-2011 Cycle | % of Target |
| M. C. Pigott | Company Performance Goal | 100 |
| T. E. Plimpton | Company Performance Goal | 100 |
| J. G. Cardillo | Company Performance Goal | 100 |
| D. D. Sobic | Company Performance Goal | 50 |
| Business Unit Profit | 25 | |
| Business Unit Performance | 25 | |
| R. E. Armstrong | Company Performance Goal | 50 |
| Business Unit Profit | 30 | |
| Business Unit Performance | 20 |
The Committee believes that three-year compound growth in net income, return on sales and return on capital are excellent indicators of the Companys performance against the Peer Companies. The Company has used this rigorous comparison goal for over ten years. During that period the Company has demonstrated extraordinary performance against the Peer Companies and provided superior returns to stockholders. The target amount will be earned if the Companys financial performance ranks above at least half of the Peer Companies. The maximum cash award amount will be earned if the Companys financial performance ranks above all of the Peer Companies. No award will be earned if the Companys financial performance ranks in the bottom 25 percent of the Peer Companies.
The remaining portion of the award for certain of the Named Executive Officers is based upon individual business unit goals determined by the Chief Executive Officer similar to those described above for the annual incentive plan, measured over a three-year performance cycle. The Committee assesses goal achievement for the prior three-year period in the April following completion of the applicable cycle and approves awards for the Named Executive Officers at such time. Long-term incentive cash awards are measured on a sliding scale as indicated below:
Begin box 2
| % of Goal Achieved | <75% | 75% | 100% | 125% | 150% and above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| % of Target Paid | 0% | 50% | 100% | 150% | 200% |
End box 2
In April 2009, the Committee determined cash awards for the three-year period 2006-2008 ending December 31, 2008. One hundred percent of the cash award for M. C. Pigott, M. A. Tembreull and T. E. Plimpton was based on the Company Performance Goal. For the 2006-2008 LTIP cycle, the Company achieved superior results and tied for second among all of Peer Companies that reported earnings. The Committee approved a payout of 177.8 percent of target on the Company Performance Goal for each Named Executive Officer reflecting excellent goal achievement and it did not exercise discretion to reduce or modify payment. The remaining 50 percent of the award for J. G. Cardillo was based on business unit profit. Since less than 75 percent of that goal was achieved, no payout was approved which resulted in an overall payout of 88.9 percent of target. The remaining award for D. D. Sobic was based 30 percent on business unit profit and 30 percent on business unit performance. The Committee determined that D. D. Sobic met only the business

unit performance goal and approved an overall payout of 116.1 percent of target. The remaining award for R. E. Armstrong was based 30 percent on business unit profit and 30 percent on business unit performance. The Committee determined that R. E. Armstrong exceeded each goal and approved an overall payout of 161.1 percent of target reflecting this achievement. The long-term cash awards for the 2007-2009 LTIP cycle have not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement.
The maximum amount that may be paid to any eligible participant in any year under this program is $6,000,000. The award is also subject to the conditions of payment set forth in the Long Term Incentive Plan, as required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) any award earned by the Named Executive Officers based on an assessment of individual performance.
Stock options. The Committee includes stock options in its compensation program because stock options link the interests of executives directly with stockholders interests through increased individual stock ownership. Stock options are granted by the Committee once each year on a predetermined date after the fourth-quarter earnings release, and are not repriced. They become exercisable at the end of a three-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant.
The Compensation Committee granted stock options on February 6, 2009. The number of options was determined by multiplying the executives base salary on February 6, 2009, by a target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Companys stock on the first five trading days of the year. The exercise price of stock options is the closing price of the Companys stock on the date of grant, February 6, 2009. All stock options granted in 2009 vest and become exercisable on January 1, 2012, and remain exercisable until January 2019 unless the participants employment terminates for reasons other than retirement at age 65, or the participant is demoted to an ineligible position. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of a change in control.
Annual restricted stock program. Performance-based restricted stock is included in the program because it provides an opportunity for executives to earn Company equity with performance-based compensation deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee sets a Company performance goal during the first 90 days of the year and restricted stock grants are made in the following year if the Committee determines that the performance goal is achieved. The restricted stock vests 25 percent per year over a four-year period beginning in the year following the grant. Unvested shares are forfeited upon termination unless termination is by reason of death, disability or retirement on or after age 62. All shares vest immediately upon a change in control. Each Named Executive Officer has the same rights as all other stockholders to vote the shares and receive cash dividends.
The Named Executive Officers, including M. A. Tembreull, received an award of performance-based restricted stock on February 6, 2009, after the Committee determined that the Company exceeded the performance goal of four percent return on 2008 revenues. The Chief Executive Officer declined to accept his restricted stock award in 2009. The number of restricted shares granted was determined by multiplying the executives annual base salary by a target award percentage and dividing by the average closing price of the Companys stock for the first five trading days of 2009. All awards were consistent with the target award percentage and the Committee did not exercise discretion to make any material adjustments. Twenty-five percent of the shares vested on January 1, 2010, and 25 percent of shares will vest on each successive January 1 through January 1, 2013. Mr. Tembreulls award vested on the award date due to his retirement.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
The Committee applies the same compensation philosophy, policies and comparative data analysis to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as it applies to the other Named Executive Officers. The Chief Executive Officer is the only officer with overall responsibility for all corporate functions and, as a result, has a greater percentage of his total compensation based on the overall financial performance of the Company. Under his leadership, the Company has significantly outperformed both its Peer Companies and the S&P 500 index for the ten-year period ending December 31, 2009. The Company has delivered an average annual return to stockholders of 19.1 percent versus the S&P 500 negative 1.0 percent return in the last decade.

The Chief Executive Officer received no increase in base salary in 2009 and he declined the 2009 award of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $1,992,421. The Company has a share match program that enables the Chief Executive Officer to purchase Company stock either by exercising stock options or through open market purchases. He may receive a matching award of restricted stock if rigorous performance goals are met. The program provides for a maximum of 562,500 restricted shares and an annual limit of 150,000 shares. Restricted match shares vest after five years if the Companys earnings per share growth over the same five-year period meets or exceeds at least fifty percent of the Peer Companies. The Chief Executive Officer has the same rights as all other stockholders to vote the shares and receive cash dividends. With certain exceptions, all restricted match shares will be forfeited if the performance threshold is not achieved or if the Chief Executive Officer terminates employment with the Company during the vesting period. If the purchased shares are sold before the vesting period, an equal number of restricted match shares will be forfeited. No matching shares were granted under this program in 2009.
Deferral of Annual and Long-Term Performance Awards
The Committee administers a Deferred Compensation Plan described on page 26 which allows eligible employees to defer cash incentive awards into an income account or a stock unit account. Both accounts are unfunded and unsecured. This program provides tax and retirement planning benefits to participants and market-based returns on amounts deferred. Certain deferrals are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Payouts from the income account are made in cash either in a lump sum or in a maximum of 15 annual installments in accordance with the executives payment election. Stock units credited under the Deferred Compensation Plan are disbursed in a one-time payment of Company shares. Participation in the DC Plan is voluntary.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Board of Directors approved stock ownership guidelines for the Companys executive officers and directors to link their long-term economic interest directly to that of the Company stockholders. The Chief Executive Officer is expected to hold a minimum of five times his base salary in Company stock and/or deferred stock units. Other executive officers are expected to hold a minimum of one times their base salary in Company stock, vested stock options and/or deferred stock units. Executive officers have three years to attain this ownership threshold. All executive officers are in compliance as of January 1, 2010.
Changes Approved for 2010
The Committee reinstated certain programs for all participants which had been reduced or suspended in 2009 reflecting the improving economy in 2010.
| | The maximum award that may be earned under the 2010 annual
incentive cash compensation program is reinstated to
200 percent of the executives target award. |
| --- | --- |
| | The Committee reinstated the formula and percentage of base
salary used to determine long-term compensation target awards
for the 2010-2012 cycle to the 2008 level. The 2010 target for each element of the
long-term compensation program for each Named Executive Officer,
calculated as a percentage of base salary, is indicated in the
following table. |
| 2010-2012 Cycle — Long-Term | Stock | Restricted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Cash | Options | Stock |
| M. C. Pigott | 150 % | 375 % | 150 % |
| T. E. Plimpton | 100 % | 375 % | 60 % |
| J. G. Cardillo | 90 % | 300 % | 60 % |
| D. D. Sobic | 70 % | 260 % | 50 % |
| R. E. Armstrong | 60 % | 210 % | 40 % |

The Committee revised the vesting schedule for future annual restricted stock grants from five years to four years. If the performance goal is achieved, 25 percent of each executives award will vest on the first day of the following month rather than the first day of the following year.
Effect of Post-Termination Events
The Company has no written employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer or with any Named Executive Officer. Executive compensation programs provide full benefits only if a Named Executive Officer remains with the Company until normal retirement at age 65. In 2009, M. A. Tembreull retired at age 62 and forfeited unvested stock options and long-term incentive cash for the partially completed 2007-2009 and 2008-2010 cycles. All outstanding restricted stock awards vested on his retirement. In general, upon a termination without cause a Named Executive Officer retains vested benefits but receives no enhancements or severance. In a termination for cause, the executive forfeits all benefits except those provided under a qualified pension plan. Annual and long-term cash incentives are prorated upon retirement at age 65 or death and are awarded at the maximum level upon a change in control. The annual restricted stock grants become fully vested at retirement, death or a change in control. The Company believes that the benefits described in this section help it attract and retain its executive officers by providing financial security in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change of control of the Company. The fact that the Company provides these benefits does not materially affect other decisions that the Company makes regarding compensation. The Company maintains a separation pay plan for all U.S. salaried employees that provides a single payment of up to six months of base salary in the event of job elimination in a business restructuring or reduction in the workforce. The Named Executive Officers are eligible for the benefit on the same terms as any other eligible U.S. salaried employee.
Effect of Accounting or Tax Treatment
Company policy is to structure compensation arrangements that preserve tax deductions for executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Cash awards paid to Named Executive Officers under the IC Plan and under the LTIP are subject to certain conditions of payment intended to preserve deductibility imposed under Section 162(m). The Committee establishes a yearly funding plan limit equal to a percentage of the Companys net income and assigns each Named Executive Officer a percentage of each fund. In 2009, the funding limit for the Named Executive Officers under the IC Plan equaled two percent of the Companys net income and the limit for the LTIP equaled three quarters of one percent of the Companys cumulative net income for the 2009-2011 performance cycle. The Committee can exercise discretion to reduce or eliminate any award earned by the Named Executive Officers based on an assessment of individual performance against preapproved goals. The cash incentive awards to the Named Executive Officers under both plans are subject to the pre-established funding and plan limits even if some or all of the executives performance goals have been exceeded. The Committee retains the flexibility to pay compensation that is not fully deductible within the limitations of Section 162(m) if it determines that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders in order to attract, retain and reward outstanding executives. The Company offers compensation programs that are intended to be tax efficient for the Company and for the executive officers.
Conclusion
The Companys compensation programs are designed and administered in a manner consistent with its executive compensation philosophy and guiding principles. The programs emphasize the retention of key executives and appropriate rewards for excellent results. The Committee monitors these programs in recognition of the dynamic marketplace in which the Company competes for talent. The Company will continue to emphasize pay-for-performance and equity-based incentive programs that compensate executives for results that are consistent with generating outstanding performance for its stockholders.

The Companys qualified noncontributory retirement plan has been in effect since 1947. The Named Executive Officers participate in this plan on the same basis as other salaried employees. Employees are eligible to become a member in the plan after completion of 12 months of employment with at least 1,000 hours of service. The plan provides benefits based on years of service and salary. Participants are vested in their retirement benefits after five years of service.
The benefit for each year of service, up to a maximum of 35 years, is equal to one percent of highest average salary plus 0.5 percent of highest average salary in excess of the Social-Security-covered compensation level. Highest average salary is defined as the average of the highest 60 consecutive months of an employees cash compensation, which includes base salary and annual incentive cash compensation but it excludes compensation under the LTIP. The benefits are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts. Benefits from the plan are paid as a monthly single-life annuity, or if married, actuarially-equivalent 50 percent, 75 percent or 100 percent joint and survivor annuity options are also available. Survivor benefits based on the 50 percent joint and survivor option will be paid to an eligible spouse if the employee is a vested member in the plan and dies before retirement.
The Companys unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP) provides a retirement benefit to those affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and to those deferring incentive compensation bonuses. The benefit is equal to the amount of normal pension benefit reduction resulting from the application of maximum benefit and salary limitations and the exclusion of deferred incentive compensation bonuses from the retirement plan benefit formula. Benefits from the plan are paid as a lifetime monthly annuity or a single lump sum distribution at the executives election and will be made at the later of: (1) termination of employment; (2) age 55 with 15 years of service or age 65, whichever occurs first; or (3) twelve months from the date the payment election is made. If the participant dies before the supplemental benefit commencement date, the participants surviving spouse will be eligible to receive a survivor pension for the amount by which the total survivor pension benefit exceeds the surviving spouses retirement plan benefit.
Normal retirement age under both plans is 65 and participants may retire early between ages 55 and 65 if they have 15 years of service. For retirement at ages 55 through 61 with 15 years of service, pension benefits are reduced four percent per year from age 65. For retirement at or after age 62 with 15 years of service, there

is no reduction in retirement benefits. As of December 31, 2009, M. C. Pigott, T. E. Plimpton, J. G. Cardillo and D. D. Sobic are eligible for a reduced early retirement benefit. M. A. Tembreull retired in 2009 and received the payments noted above following his retirement.
The Pension Plan table shows the present value of the accrued retirement benefits for the Named Executive Officers under the Companys retirement plan and Supplemental Retirement Plan based on highest average salary and service as of December 31, 2009. The retirement benefits were calculated using the assumptions found in the Notes for Consolidated Financial Statements under Note M of the Companys 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Depending on executive recruitment considerations, additional years of service may be offered to new executives.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The following table provides information about the deferred compensation accounts of the Named Executive Officers as of December 31, 2009. Amounts deferred reflect cash awards payable in prior years but voluntarily deferred by the executive:
| Executive — Contribution in | Aggregate | Aggregate — Withdrawals/ | Aggregate — Balance as of | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Earnings in 2009 | Distributions | 12/31/2009 (a) | |
| Name | ($) | ($) | ($) | ($) |
| M. C. Pigott | 0 | 1,232,331 | 0 | 5,568,653 |
| T. E. Plimpton | 0 | 337,886 | 0 | 4,590,391 |
| J. G. Cardillo | 0 | 159,511 | 0 | 2,770,121 |
| D. D. Sobic | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| R. E. Armstrong | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| M. A. Tembreull | 0 | 1,400,842 | 0 | 9,617,982 |
(a) To the extent required to be reported, all cash awards were reported as compensation to the Named Executive Officer in the Summary Compensation Table for previous years.
The Companys DC Plan provides all eligible employees including the Named Executive Officers an opportunity to voluntarily defer all or part of the cash awards earned and payable under the LTIP and the IC Plan. The Company makes no contributions to the Plan. Accounts are credited with interest or dividend equivalents as described below.
A portion of the amount in the 2009 Aggregate Earnings column is reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the Named Executive Officers as follows: M. C. Pigott $2,815; T. E. Plimpton $53,674; J. G. Cardillo $35,752; and M. A. Tembreull $59,976.
The Named Executive Officers have elected to defer into an income account, a stock unit account or any combination of each. Deferral elections were made in the year before the award was payable. Cash awards were credited to the income account as of January in the year the award was payable and interest is compounded quarterly on the account balance based on the simple combined average of monthly Aa Industrial Bond Yield averages for the previous quarter. The Named Executive Officer may elect to be paid out the balance in the income account in a lump sum or in up to 15 substantially equal annual installments. Cash awards credited to the stock unit account are based on the average closing price of a share of the Companys common stock on the first five trading days in January of the year the cash award was payable. Dividend equivalents are credited to the stock unit account based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date the dividend is paid to stockholders. The stock unit account is paid out in a single distribution of whole shares of the Companys common stock.

Termination for Cause. If a Named Executive Officer had been terminated for cause, as defined in the Companys LTIP, all unpaid cash incentives under the IC Plan and the LTIP, stock options (vested and unvested), restricted stock, deferred compensation balances and accrued Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits would have been immediately forfeited.
Resignation or Termination without Cause. If a Named Executive Officer had resigned or been terminated without cause, all unpaid incentives under the IC Plan and the LTIP, unvested stock options and restricted stock would have been immediately forfeited. Vested stock options with expiration dates of January 25, 2010, through January 15, 2014, would remain exercisable for three months from the date of termination. All other vested stock options would remain exercisable for one month from the date of termination (expiration dates and number of stock options are disclosed in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table).
Deferred compensation balances, as described in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table, would be paid in a lump sum or in installments according to the payment election filed by the Named Executive Officer. The Named Executive Officer may elect to have such payments made or commence in any January that is at least 12 months from the date of such payment election, but no later than the first January following the year in which the executive attains age 70-1/2.
Accrued Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits described under the Pension Benefits Table would be paid in a form previously elected by the Named Executive Officer. M. C. Pigott, T. E. Plimpton, J. G. Cardillo and R. E. Armstrong would receive single lump-sum cash payments. D. D. Sobic would receive monthly annuities payable for life. If termination occurred on December 31, 2009, these payments would be made or would commence in accordance with the terms of the Plan on January 1, 2010 for M. C. Pigott,

T. E. Plimpton, J. G. Cardillo and D. D. Sobic. Payments for R. E. Armstrong would begin when first eligible to receive retirement benefits under the qualified Retirement Plan.
Retirement. R. E. Armstrong was not eligible to receive retirement benefits on December 31, 2009 due to the age threshold. Deferred compensation balances and accumulated Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits would have been payable for the other Named Executive Officers as described above under Resignation or Termination without Cause
Annual incentive compensation earned in 2009 would have been paid in the first quarter of 2010 and long-term incentive cash awards earned under the 2007-2009 performance cycle would be paid in April 2010 based on actual performance against goals. Unvested stock options would have been immediately forfeited and vested stock options would have remained exercisable for 12 months following the date of retirement. All annual restricted stock would be immediately vested. M. A. Tembreull retired on January 2, 2009 and was not eligible for a 2009 annual incentive award or a long-term performance award for the 2007-2009 cycle. He received an annual restricted stock award in February 2009 based on 2008 performance. All unvested restricted stock vested upon his retirement.
Death. In the event of death on December 31, 2009, beneficiaries of the Named Executive Officers would have been entitled to receive all of the benefits that would have been paid to a Named Executive Officer who had retired on that date as described above, with the following exceptions:
Long-term incentive cash awards earned under the 2008-2010 LTIP performance cycle and the 2009-2011 LTIP performance cycle would have been paid on a prorated basis (2/3 and 1/3, respectively) following completion of the cycle, based on actual performance against goals. Restricted stock awarded under the share match program would vest following completion of the cycle if the performance goal is achieved.
Change in control. Benefits payable in the event of a change in control on December 31, 2009, are the same as benefits payable in the event of death on the same date (as described above) with the following exceptions:
Named Executive Officers would have been entitled to a maximum IC award for 2009 (160 percent of target), a maximum long-term incentive cash award under the 2007-2009 performance cycle of the LTIP and a maximum prorated award under the 2008-2010 and the 2009-2011 performance cycles based on the number of full or partial months completed in the performance cycle. The maximum payout amounts are shown in the table above and would have been paid in a lump sum immediately following the change in control. All restricted stock would vest immediately.
Deferred compensation balances would have been paid as a single lump sum in cash from the income account and whole shares of the Companys common stock from the stock account immediately following the change in control.
In addition, in the event of a change in control, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has the discretionary authority to provide the following additional benefits:
1) Immediate vesting of all unvested stock options. The value of unvested options that could have been immediately vested upon a change in control on December 31, 2009 for each Named Executive Officer was: M. C. Pigott $1,059,262; T. E. Plimpton $453,344; J. G. Cardillo $354,179; D. D. Sobic $208,539; R. E. Armstrong $153,011.
2) Increased Supplemental Retirement Benefits. If the Committee chooses to terminate the Supplemental Retirement Plan upon a change in control, the value of accrued benefits under the plan would be paid in a single lump sum immediately following the change in control. The additional Supplemental Retirement Plan benefits that would have been paid had the plan been terminated following a change in control on December 31, 2009, are as follows: M. C. Pigott $7,322,922; T. E. Plimpton $2,527,704; J. G. Cardillo $714,710; D. D. Sobic $560,373; R. E. Armstrong $413,485. For purposes of calculating the value of the benefit to be paid upon such a plan termination, the normal actuarial factors and assumptions used to determine Actuarial Equivalent under the qualified retirement plan will be used with the exception of the interest rate which will be zero percent.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report:
The Audit Committee is comprised of four members, each of whom meets the independence and financial literacy requirements of SEC and NASDAQ rules. It adopted a written charter outlining its responsibilities that was approved by the Board of Directors. A current copy of the Audit Committees charter is posted at www.paccar.com/company/corporateresponsibility/auditcommittee.asp . The Board of Directors designated S. F. Page and J. M. Fluke, Jr., as Audit Committee financial experts.
Among the Committees responsibilities is the selection and evaluation of the independent auditors and the review of the financial statements. The Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year with management. In addition, the Committee discussed under SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU § 380) all matters required to be discussed with the independent auditors Ernst & Young LLP. The Committee received from Ernst & Young LLP the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountants communications with the audit committee concerning independence. Based on the Audit Committees review of the audited financial statements and its discussions with management and the independent auditors, the Committee recommends to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
S. F. Page, Chairman J. M. Fluke, Jr. R. T. Parry W. G. Reed, Jr.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Partners from the Seattle office of Ernst & Young LLP will attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make statements if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Audit Committee approved the engagement of the independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP. The Audit Committee has also adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all audit and non-audit work performed by Ernst & Young LLP. The audit services engagement terms and fees and any changes to them require Audit Committee preapproval. The Committee has also preapproved the use of Ernst & Young for specific categories of non-audit, audit-related and tax services up to a specific annual limit.

The Companys complete preapproval policy was attached to the Companys 2004 proxy statement as Appendix E. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services listed below is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst and Young LLP. The services provided for the year ended December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, are as follows:

STOCKHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following line graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on the Companys common stock, to the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poors Composite 500 Stock Index and the return of the industry peer group of companies identified in the graph (the Peer Group Index) for the last five fiscal years ending December 31, 2009. Standard & Poors has calculated a return for each company in the Peer Group Index weighted according to its respective capitalization at the beginning of each period with dividends reinvested on a monthly basis. Management believes that the identified companies and methodology used in the graph for the peer group indices provides a better comparison than other indices available. The Peer Group Index consists of Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., Danaher Corporation, Deere & Company, Dover Corporation, Eaton Corporation, Harley-Davidson, Inc., Honeywell International Inc., Illinois Tool Works Inc., Ingersoll-Rand Company Ltd. and United Technologies Corporation. The comparison assumes that $100 was invested December 31, 2004 in the Companys common stock and in the stated indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Company has been advised that three stockholders intend to present proposals at the Annual Meeting. The Company will furnish the name, address and number of shares held by the proponent of each of the following stockholder proposals upon receipt of a request for such information to the Secretary.
In accordance with the proxy regulations, the following is the complete text of each proposal exactly as submitted. The stockholder proposals include some assertions the Company believes are incorrect. The Company has not addressed all of these inaccuracies. The Company accepts no responsibility for the proposals .
ITEM 2: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING THE SUPERMAJORITY VOTING PROVISIONS
Resolved: Shareholders request that our board take the steps necessary so that each shareholder voting requirement in our charter and bylaws, that calls for a greater than simple majority vote, be changed to a majority of the votes cast for and against the proposal in compliance with applicable laws.
Supporting Statement: Currently a 1%-minority can frustrate the will of our 66%-shareholder majority. Also our supermajority vote requirements can be almost impossible to obtain when one considers abstentions and broker non-votes. For example, a Goodyear (GT) management proposal for annual election of each director failed to pass even though 90% of votes cast were yes-votes. Supermajority requirements are arguably most often used to block initiatives supported by most shareowners but opposed by management.
Fortunately our poison pill expired in February 2009 and there is no current pill. However, the merits of this Simple Majority Vote proposal should be considered in the context of the need for further improvements in our companys corporate governance. For instance in 2009 the following governance issues were identified:
The Corporate Library www.thecorporatelibrary.com , an independent investment research firm, rated our company Very High Concern in Takeover Defenses. Our directors needed only one-vote out of 360 million to be elected and then there were set for 3-years accountability concern.
The Corporate Library said there were a number of red flags related to our companys pay practices for CEO Mark Pigott who had $15.5 million in total realized pay in 2008. Mr. Pigott realized $10 million on the exercise of options in 2008. With such a large number of options, small increases in our companys share price can result in large financial awards.
With two insiders on our Board and an inside-related director on our board (James Pigott) we did not even have an Independent Chairman or a Lead Director. John Fluke, with 25-years director tenure (independence concern), was on our key audit and executive pay committees.
This statement in our 2009 proxy seems to be misleading or useless, Stockholders may contact the Board of Directors by writing to: The Board of Directors ... [email protected] . John Chevedden, shareholder, sent an email regarding our director Robert Parry having been on the infamous Countrywide Board of Directors. There was no material response after months of waiting and a reminder.
We had no right to: cumulative voting, to call a special meeting, to act by written consent or to vote on our auditors.
Our directors served on boards rated D by The Corporate Library: Kirk Hachigian, Cooper Industries (CBE) and Robert Parry, Janus Capital (JNS). Six of our directors had no other current board service beyond PCAR and our full Board met only 4-times in an entire year commitment concern. Director James Pigott is the uncle of CEO Mark Pigott and director John Pigott.
The above concerns shows there is need for improvement. Please encourage our board to respond positively to this proposal:
Adopt Simple Majority Vote Yes on 2.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 2 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
PACCAR is committed to corporate governance policies and practices that enhance stockholder returns. Its conservative policies ensure that the Company is governed in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and in the best interest of its stockholders.
The Companys governance practices and strong financial performance have delivered outstanding results to stockholders.
The Company has delivered an average annual return to stockholders of 19.1 percent versus the S&P 500 negative 1.0 percent return in the last decade. The Companys return to stockholders exceeded the S&P 500 for the previous one-, three-, five-, ten and twenty-year time periods. The Companys governance structure positions the Company for profitable long-term growth and the benefit of its stockholders. M. C. Pigott exercised stock options that were granted in 1999 and 2000 and were due to expire per LTIP agreement. M. C. Pigott personally purchased 150,000 shares of Company stock in 2008.
The Companys supermajority voting provisions ensure that a broad consensus of stockholders agree on significant corporate changes.
Under the Companys existing governance documents, a simple majority vote applies to many matters submitted for stockholder approval. For significant corporate transactions, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock must approve the recommended action. Examples of these significant corporate transactions include the following:
| | amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation; |
|---|---|
| | the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the |
| Companys property and assets; | |
| | removal of directors or the entire Board; |
| | the Companys merger or consolidation with another entity; |
| | dissolution of the Company; and |
| | approval of a stockholder action to make, alter or repeal the |
| bylaws. |
After careful consideration, the Board of Directors believes that the supermajority voting requirements are reasonable and appropriate for significant matters that affect the Company. The Companys two-thirds supermajority vote provisions are designed to protect all PACCAR stockholders against coercive takeover tactics by requiring that a broad consensus of stockholders agree on significant corporate matters. Delaware law permits supermajority voting requirements and many publicly traded companies have adopted these provisions to preserve and maximize value for all stockholders.
The supermajority voting provisions protect PACCAR stockholders against the actions of short-term investors such as hedge funds or corporate raiders.
If a simple majority vote standard were adopted, and only 50.1 percent of the shares are present at a stockholders meeting, a minority of stockholders representing as little as 25.1 percent of the outstanding voting power of the Company could approve corporate changes that may be damaging to the long-term interest

Table of Contents
BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End
of the majority of Company stockholders. The Board of Directors believes that more meaningful supermajority voting requirements are appropriate for issues that have a long-lasting effect on the Company.
The supermajority voting provisions are in the best interest of PACCAR stockholders because they increase stability, improve long-term planning and represent a more comprehensive group of stockholders .
The current voting provisions encourage persons or firms making unsolicited takeover bids to negotiate with the Board to ensure that the interests of all the Companys stockholders are considered. In addition, the supermajority provisions allow the Board to consider alternative proposals that maximize the value of the Company for all stockholders.
The Board of Directors believes that the Company benefits from the existing supermajority vote requirement because it enhances corporate stability and enables the Board to pursue corporate strategies for the benefit of all stockholders. Major steps such as the sale, merger or dissolution of the Company should have the support of a supermajority of the stockholders.
PACCAR stockholders approved the supermajority provisions in 1986 by a vote of 78 percent of the outstanding shares. The Board of Directors believes that the existing two-thirds voting requirement is reasonable and appropriate to maximize value for all stockholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 2.
ITEM 3: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING A DIRECTOR VOTE THRESHOLD
Resolved: That the shareholders of PACCAR Inc. (Company) hereby request that the Board of Directors initiate the appropriate process to amend the Companys corporate governance documents (articles or bylaws) to provide that director nominees shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast at an annual meeting of shareholders, with a plurality vote standard retained for contested director elections, that is, when the number of director nominees exceeds the number of board seats.
Supporting Statement: In order to provide shareholders a meaningful role in director elections, the Companys director election vote standard should be changed to a majority vote standard. A majority vote standard would require that a nominee receive a majority of the votes cast in order to be elected. The standard is particularly well-suited for the vast majority of director elections in which only board nominated candidates are on the ballot. We believe that a majority vote standard in board elections would establish a challenging vote standard for board nominees and improve the performance of individual directors and entire boards. The Company presently uses a plurality vote standard in all director elections. Under the plurality standard, a board nominee can be elected with as little as a single affirmative vote, even if a substantial majority of the votes cast are withheld from the nominee.
In response to strong shareholder support for a majority vote standard, a strong majority of the nations leading companies, including Intel, General Electric, Motorola, Hewlett Packard, Morgan Stanley, Home Depot, Gannett, Marathon Oil, and Pfizer, have adopted a majority vote standard in company bylaws or articles of incorporation. Additionally, these companies have adopted director resignation policies in their bylaws or corporate governance policies to address post-election issues related to the status of director nominees that fail to win election. Other companies have responded only partially to the call for change by simply adopting post election director resignation policies that set procedures for addressing the status of director nominees that receive more withhold votes than for votes. At the time of this proposal submission, PACCAR and its board had not taken either action.
We believe that a post election director resignation policy without a majority vote standard in company governance documents is an inadequate reform. The critical first step in establishing a meaningful majority vote policy is the adoption of a majority vote standard. With a majority vote standard in place, the board can then take action to develop a post election procedure to address the status of directors that fail to win election. A majority vote standard combined with a post election director resignation policy would establish a
XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End
meaningful right for shareholders to elect directors, and reserve for the board an important post election role in determining the continued status of an unelected director. We urge the Board to take this important step of establishing a majority vote standard in the Companys governance documents.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 3 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
One of the primary strengths of PACCAR is the continuity of vision and quality performance that have resulted from the diligent and positive manner in which the directors guide the Company. PACCAR stockholders have benefited from the outstanding leadership the Board of Directors has provided the Company for many years. The Company has delivered an average annual return to stockholders of 19.1 percent versus the S&P 500 negative 1.0 percent return in the last decade.
The Company has an excellent history of electing Board directors by a substantial majority.
| | For each of the past five years, the Company has received a
similar proposal, and each year the proposal received less than
a majority of the votes cast by stockholders. |
| --- | --- |
| | Every director nominee has received an affirmative vote greater
than 87 percent of the shares voted through the plurality
process during the previous 20 years. The proponents
statement that a director may be elected by a single vote even
if a substantial majority of the votes cast are
withheld, is improbable especially in
light of the Companys past voting results. The
Companys stockholders have an excellent history of
electing strong and independent directors by plurality voting. |
| | For 20 consecutive years, over 88 percent of the
outstanding shares have been represented at the Companys
annual meeting. |
| | The Companys Nominating and Governance Committee has a
thorough and proven director selection process to identify
strong nominees committed to serving the Company and its
stockholders. |
| | The Company has a governance policy that requires a director to
submit a resignation to the Board upon a change in principal
employment or responsibility. This policy provides additional
assurance that Board directors are of the highest caliber to
serve stockholders during their term. |
A plurality voting standard is an accepted method among public companies and is the standard voting practice under the laws of the State of Delaware.
| | The rules governing plurality voting are well understood by
stockholders. In plurality voting for the election of directors,
the nominees with the most votes are elected. By contrast, in a
majority voting system, the result is uncertain if one or more
of the director nominees fails to receive a majority of the
votes cast. |
| --- | --- |
| | The Board believes electing directors under a plurality vote
process is best for the ongoing success of the Company and its
stockholders, but it will continue to review the majority vote
standard. |
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 3.
ITEM 4: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING COMPOSITION OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
Resolved: The shareholders of PACCAR Inc. (the Company) request that the Board of Directors (the Board) adopt a policy prohibiting any current or former chief executive officers of public companies from

serving on the Boards Compensation Committee. The policy shall be implemented so that it does not affect the unexpired terms of previously elected directors.
Supporting Statement: It is a well-established tenet of corporate governance that a compensation committee must be independent of management to ensure fair and impartial negotiations of pay with individual executives. Indeed, this principle is reflected in the listing standards of the major stock exchanges.
We do not dispute that CEOs can be valuable members of other Board committees. Nonetheless, we believe that shareholder concerns about aligning CEO pay with performance argue strongly in favor of directors who can view senior executive compensation issues objectively. We are particularly concerned about CEOs on the Compensation Committee because of their potential conflicts of interest in setting the compensation of their peers.
We believe that CEOs who benefit from generous pay will view large compensation packages as necessary to retain and motivate other executives. In our view, those who benefit from stock option plans will view them as an efficient form of compensation; those who receive generous golden parachutes will regard them as a key element of a compensation package. Consequently, we are concerned that the inclusion of CEOs on the Compensation Committee may result in more generous pay packages for senior executives than that necessary to attract and retain talent.
In their 2004 book Pay Without Performance, law professors Lucian Bebchuk and Jesse Fried cite an academic study by Brian Main, Charles OReilly and James Wade that found a significant association between the compensation level of outsiders on the compensation committee and CEO pay.
There are still plenty of CEOs who sit on compensation committees at other companies, said Carol Bowie, a corporate governance expert at RiskMetrics Group. They dont have an interest in seeing CEO pay go down. ( Crains Chicago Business, May 26, 2008. )
Executive compensation expert Graef Crystal concurs. My own research of CEOs who sit on compensation committees shows that the most highly paid executives award the fattest packages to the CEOs whose pay they regulate. Heres an even better idea: bar CEOs from serving on the comp committee. ( Bloomberg News column, June 22, 2009. )
Moreover, CEOs indirectly benefit from one anothers pay increases because compensation packages are often based on surveys detailing what their peers are earning. ( The New York Times, May 24, 2006. )
At our Company, Chairman and CEO Mark C. Pigott received $11.9 million in total compensation in 2008 including the grant date fair value of equity-based awards. This represents a 29 percent pay increase over 2007 despite that we believe to be the Companys poor performance, both in absolute terms and relative to its peers. Four of the five directors on the Compensation Committee, including its chairman, are either current or retired CEOs.
We urge you to vote FOR this proposal.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 4 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The Company has delivered superior returns to stockholders.
| | The Companys Compensation Committee exercises effective,
independent oversight of executive compensation. The
proponents assertion that members of the Companys
Compensation Committee have a conflict of interest merely for
past or present service as a public company chief executive
officer (CEO) is baseless. |
| --- | --- |
| | The shareholder proposal is inaccurate, biased and misleading.
PACCARs financial performance was excellent in 2008, as
the Company earned $1.02 billion, the fourth best year in
its 104-year history. |

PACCAR stockholder performance versus its peer group for the five-year period ending in 2008 was also excellent in absolute and relative terms.
| | In the January 2010 Harvard Business Review, PACCARs CEO, Mark Pigott, was honored as one of the 50
best performing CEOs in the world as measured by long-term total
stockholder returns. M. C. Pigott personally purchased
150,000 shares of Company stock in 2008. |
| --- | --- |
| | PACCAR executives do not have golden parachutes or employment
contracts. |
| | The Conference Board 2009 Task Force Report on Executive
Compensation provides guidelines for the composition of
Compensation Committees. Members must be independent and be
knowledgeable about the companys business. The
Companys Compensation Committee members meet these
guidelines. |
Committee members are independent and experienced.
Each of the Companys Compensation Committee members meets the director independence standards of NASDAQ and of IRS Section 162(m). None of the Committee members has any personal or material business relationship with the Company. The companies of the CEOs who serve on PACCARs Compensation Committee do not include PACCAR in their peer group in determining their own compensation. Compensation Committee members have no personal interest in increasing the pay of the Company CEO.
Committee members are knowledgeable about the Companys business.
The Committee maintains a compensation program that reflects the incentives appropriate for a company in a capital goods business. The Companys compensation program is straightforward, provides performance-based incentives, minimizes risk and has delivered excellent stockholder returns.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM 4.
