PROXY STATEMENT

callerid=999 iwidth=407 length=102

This proxy statement contains information about the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The St. Joe Company.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2007, beginning at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, in the Riverfront Conference Room at 245 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32202.

This proxy statement is first being sent to our shareholders on or about April 13, 2007, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors for the meeting.

callerid=999 iwidth=407 length=102

I. General Information About the Annual Meeting

Who Can Vote at the Annual Meeting?

You are entitled to vote at the meeting if our records show that you held shares of common stock of the Company as of March 30, 2007. At the close of business on March 30, 2007, a total of 74,370,854 shares of common stock of the Company were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock has one vote. The enclosed proxy card shows the number of shares you are entitled to vote. Your individual vote is confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties except as required by law.

What is the difference between holding shares as a registered shareholder and as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the “registered stockholder” of those shares. We mail the proxy statement materials and our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K to you directly.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares. In that case, the proxy materials and our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K were forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the registered stockholder. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions included in their mailing.

What am I voting on and what are the Board’s voting recommendations?

Our shareholders will be voting on the following matters:

• Proposal 1 asks you to elect 10 members of our Board of Directors to serve until the next annual meeting. The Board recommends that you vote for all nominees.

END LOGICAL PAGE PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

BEGIN LOGICAL PAGE

• Proposal 2 asks you to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the 2007 fiscal year. The Board recommends that you vote for this proposal.

We are not aware of any other matters to be presented at the meeting except for those described in this proxy statement. If any other matters are properly presented at the meeting, the appointed proxies (who are named in your proxy card if you are a registered shareholder) will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the meeting is continued or postponed, your common stock may be voted by the proxies at the new meeting as well, unless you revoke your proxy instructions.

How do I vote?

If your shares are registered in your name, you may vote using any of the methods described below. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee (often called “holding shares in street name”), your nominee will provide you with voting instructions.

By Internet or Telephone. Our internet and telephone voting procedures for registered shareholders are designed to authenticate your identity, allow you to give your voting instructions and confirm that those instructions are properly recorded.

You may access the internet voting site at www.proxyvote.com. Please have your proxy card in hand when you go online. You will receive instructional screen prompts to guide you through the voting process. You also will have the ability to confirm your voting selections before your vote is recorded.

You can vote by calling toll free 1-800-690-6903 within the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Please have your proxy card in hand when you call. You will receive voice prompts to guide you through the process, and an opportunity to confirm your voting selections before your vote is recorded.

Internet and telephone voting facilities for registered shareholders will be available 24 hours a day up until 11:59 p.m., eastern time, on May 14, 2007. If you vote on the internet or by telephone, you do not have to return your proxy card.

The availability of internet and telephone voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting processes of your broker, bank or other nominee. We recommend that you follow the voting instructions in the materials that you receive from your nominee.

By Mail. Simply mark, date and sign the proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you want to vote in accordance with the Board’s recommendations, all you have to do is sign, date and return the proxy card. The named proxies will vote unmarked proxy cards per the Board’s recommendations.

If you are a registered shareholder and the prepaid envelope is missing, please mail your completed proxy card to The St. Joe Company, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717.

In Person at the Annual Meeting. All shareholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Voting your proxy by internet, telephone or mail does not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting. You also may be represented by another person at the Annual Meeting by executing a legally valid proxy designating that person to vote on your behalf. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must obtain a legally valid proxy from your broker, bank or

2

END LOGICAL PAGE PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

BEGIN LOGICAL PAGE

other nominee and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. A legally valid proxy is an authorization from your broker, bank or other nominee to vote the shares held in the nominee’s name that satisfies Florida and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for proxies.

Can I change or revoke my proxy vote?

Yes. If you are a registered shareholder, you can change your proxy vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by:

• returning a signed proxy card with a later date;
• entering a new vote over the internet or by telephone;
• notifying the Corporate Secretary in writing; or
• submitting a written ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker or other nominee. You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a legally valid proxy from the registered shareholder as described in the answer to the previous question.

Your personal attendance at the Annual Meeting does not revoke your proxy. Your last vote, prior to or at the Annual Meeting, is the vote that will be counted.

What if I return my proxy or voting direction card but do not provide voting instructions?

Proxies and voting directions that are signed and returned but do not contain voting instructions will be voted:

• “For” the election of the director nominees;
• “For” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP
as our independent auditors for the 2007 fiscal year; and
• In the best judgment of the named proxies on other matters
properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

How many shares or votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

In order for us to conduct our Annual Meeting, a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of March 30, 2007 must be present in person or by proxy. This is referred to as a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by internet, telephone or mail. We will count abstentions and broker non-votes (as defined below) for purposes of determining a quorum.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy or voting direction card?

If you are a registered shareholder, your shares will not be voted unless you provide a proxy or vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold shares through an account with a

3

END LOGICAL PAGE PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

BEGIN LOGICAL PAGE

bank, broker or other nominee and you do not provide voting instructions on a voting direction card, your shares may still be voted on certain matters.

Brokerage firms have authority under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules to vote shares on routine matters for which their customers do not provide voting instructions at least 10 days before the meeting. The election of directors and the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the 2007 fiscal year are considered routine matters. If a proposal is not routine and the brokerage firm does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. Shares that a broker is not authorized to vote are known as “broker non-votes.” We do not count abstentions and broker non-votes as votes for or against any proposal. Broker non-votes, however, count for quorum purposes.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

For Proposal 1, directors must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. Votes withheld for any director will not be counted.

Proposal 2, ratification of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the 2007 fiscal year, requires an affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Who will count the votes?

A representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes and act as inspector of elections for the Annual Meeting.

Who pays for the costs of this proxy solicitation?

We will pay the cost of this proxy solicitation. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our employees may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. No employee will receive any additional or special compensation for doing this. We will, upon request, reimburse brokers, banks and other nominees for their reasonable expenses in sending proxy materials to their principals and obtaining their proxies.

What is “householding,” and how does it affect me?

If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of the Company’s common stock in “street” name, your broker or bank may have given you notice that each household will receive only one annual report and one proxy statement for each company in which you hold stock through that broker or bank. This practice is known as “householding.” Unless you responded that you do not wish to participate in householding, you will be deemed to have consented to participating, and only one copy of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and proxy statement will be sent to that address. Each shareholder will, however, receive a separate proxy card.

If you wish to receive your own set of the Company’s annual report and proxy statement for this year or for future years, or if you share an address with another shareholder and would like to receive only one set of these documents, please contact the Corporate Secretary of The St. Joe Company, 245 Riverside Avenue, Suite 500, Jacksonville, Florida 32202 (904-301-4200), being sure to supply the names of all shareholders at the same address, the

BEGIN LOGICAL PAGE

name of the bank or brokerage firm, and the account number(s). The revocation of a consent to householding will be effective 30 days after the revocation notice is received.

Can I receive additional copies of the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K?

A copy of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K is included with this proxy statement. If you did not receive a copy, or would like an additional copy, we will provide one without charge, upon written request, to any registered or beneficial owner of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Requests should be made in writing addressed to The St. Joe Company, 245 Riverside Avenue, Suite 500, Jacksonville, FL 32202, attn: Investor Relations, or by calling 904-301-4200.

Do you provide your proxy materials and 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K on the Company’s website?

Yes. This proxy statement and our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available on our website at www.joe.com/web/corporate/investorrelations/filings.aspx. The SEC also maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements and other information regarding registrants, including the Company. Please note that the information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.

If you are a street name shareholder, you can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. Please refer to the information provided by the institution that holds your shares and follow their instructions on how to elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet.

Can I find additional information on the Company’s website?

Yes. Although the information contained on our website is not part of this proxy statement, you will find information about the Company, including our Board, charters of Board committees, excerpts from our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, Code of Conduct and Governance Principles and Policies at www.joe.com/web/corporate.

Proposal No. 2 Ratification of Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of KPMG LLP to audit our consolidated financial statements for the 2007 fiscal year and has directed that such appointment be submitted to our shareholders for ratification at the annual meeting. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent auditors, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.

KPMG LLP has served as our independent auditors since 1990. It is expected that a representative of KPMG LLP will be present at the meeting to answer shareholders’ questions and will be given an opportunity to make a statement. For more information regarding KPMG’s 2006 engagement, see Independent Auditor Information on page 16.

The Board recommends the shareholders vote FOR ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the 2007 fiscal year.

Other Matters

The Board of Directors does not know of any other business to be presented at the meeting. If, however, any other matters come before the meeting, it is the intention of the proxies to vote your shares in accordance with their own judgment in such matters.

III. Corporate Governance and Related Matters

Governance Principles and Policies

Our Board of Directors has adopted corporate governance principles and policies to provide, along with the charters of the Board committees, a framework for the governance and management of the Company in accordance with high ethical standards and in recognition of its responsibilities to various constituencies. These principles are intended to reflect the Board’s long-standing commitment to the ethical conduct of our business in compliance with the letter and the spirit of applicable laws, regulations and accounting principles. Recognizing that corporate governance is subject to on-going and energetic debate, the Board reviews these principles and other aspects of the Company’s governance at least annually. Our corporate governance principles address the role of the Board, the composition of the Board, Board leadership, the functioning of the Board, the committees of the Board, management succession, ethics and conflicts of interest. These principles specifically provide that two-thirds of the members of the Board must be outside directors who meet the independence criteria established by the NYSE and that no more than one member of the Board will be an employee of the Company unless the Board, in its discretion, determines that an additional employee-director would facilitate the Company’s succession plan.

The top priority of our Board of Directors is the ethical management of the Company for profitable, long-term growth for the benefit of our shareholders. To that end, the Board has adopted corporate governance policies to align management and shareholder interests. Some of the more noteworthy of these corporate governance policies include:

| • | The Company does not make loans to directors or executive
officers. |
| --- | --- |
| • | The Company does not backdate or reprice stock options. |

Code of Conduct

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees. Its purpose is to promote our commitment to the Company’s standards for ethical business practices. The Code of Conduct provides that it is our policy that our business be conducted in accordance with the highest legal and ethical standards. Our reputation for integrity is one of our most valuable assets, and each employee and member of the Board is expected to contribute to the care and preservation of that asset. Our Code of Conduct addresses a number of issues, including conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, protection of company assets, confidentiality, insider trading, accounting matters, record keeping, working with governments, antitrust, legal compliance and fair dealing. Under our corporate governance principles, no waiver of any ethics policy is permitted for directors and executive officers. Our directors review the Code of Conduct annually to ensure that it appropriately addresses the business practices of the Company.

Our corporate governance principles and policies and our Code of Conduct are available on our website at www.joe.com/web/corporate/governance . We intend to post on our website information regarding any amendment to the Code of Conduct or any waiver granted under the Code of Conduct covered by Item 5.05 of Form 8-K. Please note that the information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.

The Board and its Committees

The Board met six times in 2006. Each member of the Board attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served in 2006. Non-management directors meet in executive session without management at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee, Hugh M. Durden, presides as lead director during such sessions. Board members are expected to attend our annual meetings. At our 2006 annual meeting, all members of the Board were present.

Director Independence

The Board annually determines the independence of directors based on a review by the directors and the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers director independence when making its recommendations regarding director nominees. No director is considered independent unless the Board has determined that he or she has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a material relationship with the Company. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial relationships, among others.

To evaluate the materiality of any director relationship with the Company, the Board applies the categorical independence standards found in the NYSE listing guidelines. The NYSE guidelines state that a director will not be deemed independent in any of the following circumstances:

| • | Employment. During the past three years, the
director has been an employee, or an immediate family member of
the director has been an executive officer, of the Company. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Compensation. The director has received, or an
immediate family member of the director has received, during any
12 month period within the last three years, more than
$100,000 in direct compensation from the Company. |
| • | Certain Relationships with Auditors. The
director, or an immediate family member of the director, is a
current partner of the Company’s independent auditor (KPMG
LLP); (B) the director is a current employee of such a
firm; (C) the director has an immediate family member who
is a current employee of such a firm and who participates in the
firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax
planning) practice; or (D) the director or an immediate
family member of the director was within the last three years
(but is no longer) a partner or employee of such a firm and
personally worked on the Company’s audit at that time. |
| • | Compensation Committee Interlocks. The
director, or an immediate family member of the director, is
employed as an executive officer of another company on whose
compensation committee any of the Company’s current
executives serve, until three years after the service or the
employment ends. |
| • | Certain Relationships with Other
Companies. The director is employed by, or an
immediate family member of the director is an executive officer
of, a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from,
the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any
single fiscal year, exceeds the greater of $1 million or 2%
of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, until
three years after the applicable threshold is last crossed. |
| • | Charitable Contributions. The NYSE listing
standards emphasize that the Board should consider any donations
to a charitable organization for which a director serves as an
executive officer in evaluating the director’s independence
generally. The Company must disclose certain significant
contributions to a charitable organization (in excess of
$1 million or 2% of the organization’s gross revenues)
for which a director serves as an executive officer. |

In addition to the NYSE standards for director independence, the Board has adopted an additional categorical standard for director independence. The Board has determined that

11

END LOGICAL PAGE PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

BEGIN LOGICAL PAGE

transactions with the Company involving a director or candidate for director or an entity with whom the director or candidate is affiliated that are conducted on an arm’s-length basis in the ordinary course of business will not be deemed to affect a director’s independence. This categorical standard for independence may be found in our Governance Principles on our website at www.joe.com/web/corporate/governance/principles.html.

Members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committees must also meet all applicable independence tests of the NYSE, the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service.

In January 2007, all directors completed questionnaires which asked directors about their relationships with the Company (and those of their immediate family members) and other potential conflicts of interest. The responses to these questionnaires did not reveal any transaction or relationship between the directors and the Company that would disqualify the independence of any non-management director.

Based on the review and recommendations of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board determined that all of the nominees, other than Mr. Rummell, are independent as required by the NYSE in that they have no material relationships with the Company, either directly or indirectly. The Board also determined that all the members of the Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating Committees also meet the applicable independence tests. There were no categories or types of transactions, relationships or arrangements other than those described above considered by the Board in reaching its independence determination. With 90% independence, our Board exceeds the required number of independent directors set forth in our corporate governance principles (two-thirds) and the rules of the NYSE (majority).

Committees of the Board

The Board has the following four standing committees: Governance and Nominating Committee, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Finance Committee. Each committee is further described below. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for each committee. These charters are available on our website at www.joe.com/web/corporate/governance/charters.html . Please note that the information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. Copies of our Board committee charters are also available upon request by contacting us at the following address: The St. Joe Company, 245 Riverside Avenue, Suite 500, Jacksonville, FL 32202, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

The current members of the Governance and Nominating Committee are Hugh M. Durden (Chair), Michael L. Ainslie, Dr. Adam W. Herbert, Jr., John S. Lord and William H. Walton, III. Each member is independent as required by the NYSE. The Governance and Nominating Committee met three times in 2006. The primary functions of the Governance and Nominating Committee are to:

• identify qualified individuals to become Board members;
• determine the composition of the Board and its committees;
• develop a process to assess Board effectiveness;
• develop and implement the Company’s corporate governance
principles; and
• otherwise take a leadership role in shaping the corporate
governance of the Company.

In fulfilling its duty to recommend nominees for election as directors, the committee seeks a diverse group of candidates (in the broadest sense, including with respect to age, gender, ethnic background and national origin) who combine a broad spectrum of backgrounds, experience, skills and expertise and who would make a significant contribution to the Board, the Company and its shareholders. The committee considers, among other things, the following criteria:

| • | proven strength of character, mature judgment, objectivity,
intelligence and highest personal and business ethics, integrity
and values; |
| --- | --- |
| • | reputation, both personal and professional, consistent with the
Company’s image and reputation; |
| • | sufficient time and commitment to devote to Company affairs; |

managerial experience in complex organizations, including
accounting and finance, real estate, government, banking,
educational or other comparable institutions; |
| • | proven track record of excellence in their field of expertise; |
| • | independence, as defined by the SEC and NYSE, including a
commitment to represent the long-term interests of all of the
Company’s shareholders; |
| • | financial knowledge and experience, including qualification as
expert or financially literate as defined by the SEC and NYSE; |
| • | ability and willingness to serve on the Board for an extended
period of time; and |
| • | not subject to any disqualifying factor as described in the
Company’s Code of Conduct (i.e., relationships with
competitors, suppliers, contractors, counselors or consultants). |

The Governance and Nominating Committee would consider qualified candidates for directors suggested by our shareholders and would evaluate such candidates according to the same criteria used for other director nominees. To date, no suggestions from shareholders have been received. Shareholders can suggest qualified candidates for director by writing to The St. Joe Company, 245 Riverside Avenue, Suite 500, Jacksonville, FL 32202, attn: Corporate Secretary. Submissions that meet the criteria outlined above, on our website and in the committee charter will be forwarded to the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee for further review and consideration.

Audit Committee Information

Audit Committee Report

The role of the Audit Committee is to provide independent and objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls and to monitor the objectivity of the Company’s financial statements.

In the performance of its oversight function, the committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and our independent auditors, KPMG LLP. The committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by Independent Standards Board No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and has discussed the independence of KPMG LLP with the auditors.

Finally, the committee also has received confirmation from management with respect to non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Company and has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent auditors to the Company is consistent with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

All members of the Audit Committee are financially literate under applicable NYSE rules, and Walter L. Revell and Thomas A. Fanning are audit committee financial experts as defined by the rules of the SEC. As described in the Audit Committee Charter, the committee’s responsibility is one of oversight. Members of the committee rely on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management, internal auditors and the independent auditors.

Based on the review and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the committee referred to above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the SEC.

Independent Auditor Information

In accordance with Audit Committee policy and legal requirements, all services to be provided by our independent auditors, including audit services, audit-related services, tax services and any other services, are required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee prior to engagement. In most cases, pre-approval is provided by the full Audit Committee for a particular defined task or scope of work and is subject to a specific budget. For unexpected matters, the Chair of the Audit Committee has been delegated authority to pre-approve additional services, subject to certain dollar limitations, and the Audit Committee is then informed of each such service.

The following table sets forth fees billed to the Company by KPMG LLP in or for the fiscal years 2006 and 2005. The aggregate fees included in the Audit Fees category are fees billed for the fiscal years, and the aggregate fees included in each of the other categories are fees billed in the fiscal years.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedures. The Board has adopted a policy prohibiting transactions involving the Company and its employees, officers and directors (“related persons”), with certain exceptions. The policy is part of the Company’s Code of Conduct. The policy states that related persons may not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the Company, or a competitor of the Company, is a participant. Indirect interests include those through (1) an immediate family member; (2) any person acting on the related person’s behalf; or (3) any entity in which the related person or any of his or her immediate family members are an employee, officer, partner or principal or with which a related person or his or her immediate family members have a significant business relationship.

The Company’s policy prohibiting related person transactions does not apply to interests in transactions arising from (1) arms-length purchases or sales of goods, real property or services; (2) a related person’s position as a director of another corporation or organization that is a party to the transaction; (3) the direct or indirect ownership of less than a 5% equity interest in a public company which is a party to the transaction; and (4) Company benefit policies and programs.

Executive officers must disclose to the compliance officer any proposed related person transaction. The compliance officer will then report such proposed transaction to the Board. For related person transactions involving a director, the director must notify the Chairman of the Governance and Nominating Committee and the compliance officer, who will then bring the matter before the full Board. The Board will resolve any conflict of interest question involving an executive officer or director without compromising the Company’s interests. During its review, the Board will consider the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the material terms of the transaction; whether or not the transaction would qualify for an exception to the policy; and any other matters the Board deems appropriate. Any director or executive officer involved in the transaction would be recused from all discussions and decisions about the transaction.

The Company’s legal staff is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to monitor and obtain information with respect to related person transactions. Although shareholders are not subject to the Company’s Code of Conduct, the Company does apply the policy against related person transactions to shareholders owning five percent or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Reportable Transactions in 2006. The Company had no transactions with related persons reportable under Item 404 of Regulation S-K during 2006.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file reports with the SEC and the NYSE reporting ownership of and transactions in common stock and to furnish copies of the reports to the Company. We believe all such reports were timely filed in 2006.

Shareholder Proposals for the 2008 Annual Meeting

You may submit proposals on matters appropriate for shareholder action. These proposals must be made in accordance with the rules of the SEC and our Bylaws. A proposal for the

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Objectives

As a real estate development company, our mission is to create a family of places in Northwest Florida that inspire people and make the region an even better place to live, work and play. Going forward, it is critical that we continue to attract, motivate and retain highly talented individuals who are committed to our mission and long-term value creation for our shareholders. Our compensation program is an important tool to be used in achieving this goal. Specifically, we want our compensation program to:

| • | attract talented individuals to the Company who are leaders in
their respective fields of expertise; |
| --- | --- |
| • | motivate executive officers to strive to enhance the operational
performance of the Company and create shareholder value; |
| • | reward executive officers who have contributed in substantive
ways to the success of the Company and the creation of
shareholder value; |
| • | retain executive officers that meet the Company’s
performance standards; and |
| • | provide executive officers with an ownership stake in the
Company in order to align their interests with shareholders. |

To accomplish these objectives, the Company has implemented a compensation program for its executive officers consisting of base salaries, annual performance-based cash bonuses, equity awards and comprehensive fringe benefits. Each element of total compensation is linked to a compensation objective:

| • | base salaries and fringe benefits are intended to attract and
retain talented individuals; |
| --- | --- |
| • | annual cash bonuses are designed to promote and reward
outstanding short-term performance; and |
| • | stock incentives are intended to align the financial interests
of executive officers with shareholders, to promote long-term
performance, to reward executive officers for such performance
and to motivate them to stay with the Company. |

Compensation Committee Processes

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) is charged with establishing, reviewing and approving the compensation of the Company’s executive officers. The Committee’s primary processes for overseeing executive compensation include:

| • | Meetings. The Committee meets at least four
times each year (eight times in 2006). Committee agendas are
established in consultation with the Committee chair, the
Committee’s compensation consultant and management. The
Committee meets in executive session following each regular
meeting to discuss compensation issues. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Compensation Consultant. The Committee has
engaged an independent compensation consulting firm, Towers
Perrin, to advise the Committee on evaluating executive
compensation programs and in setting executive officers’
compensation. Towers Perrin has advised the Committee since May
2005. A representative from Towers Perrin participates in most
Committee meetings and is available between meetings to act as a
resource for the Committee and management. The use of an
independent consultant provides additional assurance that the
Company’s executive compensation programs are reasonable
and consistent with company objectives. The consultant also
provides valuable market information regarding compensation
trends and best practices, plan design and the appropriateness
of individual awards. |
| • | Role of Management. The CEO, the COO and the
Vice President of Human Resources, in consultation with the
Committee’s compensation consultant, formulate
recommendations on base salaries, bonus awards and equity
incentives for executive officers (other than the CEO). The CEO
provides the committee with a performance assessment for each of
the other executive officers in order to assist the Committee in
making decisions with respect to compensation recommendations.
The CEO and the Vice President of Human Resources generally
attend Committee meetings but are not present for the executive
sessions or for any discussion of their own compensation. |

Peer Groups and Benchmarks

As part of our analysis in determining executive officer compensation, we look to compensation practices at other companies that could be considered part of a “peer group” for JOE. These peer groups are important tools for reviewing compensation practices of companies competing with JOE for talent, resources, customers or investors. In the past, we have selected peer groups based on market capitalization, type of business (such as real estate development, land sales, timber or resort operations) and geographic location (such as the southeastern United States or the State of Florida). The type of peer group selected may differ depending on the position under review.

Towers Perrin typically assists us in the creation of peer groups. In addition, we purchase compensation survey data from third-party research firms. For example, we use ECS Watson Wyatt for market data compiled from many industries and broad geographic regions. We also purchase market data regarding commercial and residential development companies from CEL Associates and Lee Stephens. Management also collects compensation data published in public company proxy statements.

We last undertook a formal peer group analysis in December 2005. At that time, we directed Towers Perrin to create a peer group of companies within a market capitalization range of $1.5 to $5.0 billion (the “Market Cap Peer Group”). Towers Perrin assembled this data from its internal database of information collected through its annual surveys and proxy

statement analyses. Approximately 150 companies were included in the Market Cap Peer Group.

As part of our analysis, we compared the total compensation package for each executive officer with similar positions at other companies within the Market Cap Peer Group — a practice known as “benchmarking.” The positions of our executive officers were benchmarked within the peer group by comparing position descriptions and individual scopes of financial responsibility or oversight. The purpose of the benchmarking process is to ascertain whether or not our compensation practices are in line with other similarly situated companies.

Target Compensation

We used the following guidelines for setting what we believed to be competitive compensation targets for 2006:

| • | cash compensation (salary and bonus) within approximately 15% of
the Market Cap Peer Group medians; |
| --- | --- |
| • | target bonuses within approximately 5% of the Market Cap Peer
Group medians; and |
| • | stock awards and target total compensation within approximately
20% of the Market Cap Peer Group medians. |

In determining compensation, special consideration was given for individual performance, experience and competency, as well as the nature of the position and its importance in our business.

Base Salaries

We generally target base salaries to be at or above the median of base salaries at comparable companies. The base salaries established for each executive officer for 2006 were within 10% of the 50th percentile for corresponding position benchmarks within the Market Cap Peer Group described above. In setting base salaries, we consider how the base salary will affect total compensation, including bonus and equity grants and retirement plan contributions. For executive officers, we believe that a base salary of approximately 33% to 50% of the executive’s target total compensation reflects an appropriate mix of fixed compensation and performance-based compensation. We believe having a significant, or even a majority, of an executive’s total compensation linked to the performance of the Company serves to more effectively align executives’ and shareholders’ interests. For 2006, the proportion of base salary to target total compensation for our named executives ranged from 33% (for Mr. Greene) to 50% (for Mr. Rummell). In determining target total compensation for base salary analysis, the Committee did not value equity awards according to financial statement expense recognition as required in the Summary Compensation Table below.

The employment agreements for our named executives require that their base salaries cannot be decreased. However, base salaries are eligible for annual increases. Typically, an increase is initially proposed in the amount of the budgeted percentage increase projected for all employees. Individual performance and benchmarking statistics are then considered in order to determine if the actual increase for the named executive will be greater or less than the initial projection.

Base salaries may be increased more frequently than annually if an executive officer’s responsibilities change significantly during the year. For example, Mr. Greene and Mr. Corr both received base salary increases (an increase from $450,000 to $500,000 for Mr. Greene;

and from $309,000 to $335,000 for Mr. Corr) at the time of their promotions during 2006. These base salary increases were intended to recognize their larger roles and responsibilities due to their promotions and the reorganization of the Company’s operating units.

Annual Performance-Based Bonuses

In order to promote the short-term performance of the Company, a significant proportion of each executive officer’s annual compensation is linked to the Company’s achievement of specific performance measures. Making such compensation “at risk” provides significant motivation for increasing individual and Company performance. The Committee has adopted an Annual Incentive Plan that is designed to reward short term performance by linking cash bonus awards with the achievement of annual Company performance goals.

Mechanics of the Plan. At the beginning of 2006, the Committee assigned each executive officer a designated target award calculated as a percentage of the executive officer’s base salary. The bonus target awards were determined in accordance with peer group position benchmarks, as described above. The target awards set for named executives are based on percentages of base salaries. For 2006, these percentages were as follows: Rummell, 100%; Greene, 75%, Corr, 60%, Regan, 50%; Drew, 60%; and Corriggio, 65%.

At the conclusion of the annual performance period, the target award is used to calculate a projected award based on the achievement of Company performance goals. The plan is designed such that for each percentage variation from the applicable performance objective, the amount of the projected award is increased or decreased, as applicable, at twice the rate. For example, achieved goals that are 50% or less of target will result in a 0% projected award, and goals that are exceeded by 50% or more will result in a 200% projected award.

2006 Performance Goals. In 2006, the performance goals for all executive officers, other than Mr. Drew, were tied 100% to the Company performance goal. Mr. Drew’s performance goals were comprised of 75% for a land sales division goal and 25% for the Company’s overall performance goal. Consistent with prior years, we decided to use an earnings per share target as the Company performance objective for 2006. We believed that an earnings per share target would motivate our executive officers to focus on both generating revenues and increasing operating efficiencies. A bottom-line results approach would also have the potential to create value for shareholders through an increase in the Company’s stock price. For Mr. Drew, the Committee decided that including a goal based on earnings before taxes for the Company’s land sales division would more effectively focus his efforts on enhancing the performance of the division for which he had direct operational responsibility.

2006 Results. In December 2005, the Committee set the Company’s 2006 earnings per share goal at $2.10. The Company’s actual earnings per share for 2006 was $0.69. Since the Company’s earnings per share for 2006 was significantly below the established objective for the year, it did not meet the minimum threshold for bonus payments under the plan. Consequently, Mr. Rummell, Mr. Greene and Mr. Corr did not receive a cash bonus for 2006. The Committee, in its discretion, however, did award significantly reduced cash bonuses to certain other officers and employees for retention purposes. The Committee also awarded a $75,000 cash bonus to Mr. Regan in connection with his amended employment agreement (described below).

Section 162(m) Considerations for the Annual Incentive Plan. The Company seeks to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation by making such compensation “performance-based” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the application of the components of the annual incentive plan will vary for executive officers whose target

22

Table of Contents

BEGIN LOGICAL PAGE

compensation is projected to be in excess of $1 million for the year (Mr. Rummell and Mr. Greene). For those officers, the objective performance measure established by the Committee will determine the projected award. Individual performance objectives will be considered solely for purposes of reducing the projected award, if necessary.

Long-Term Incentive Program

Our long-term incentive program is designed to align executive and shareholder interests and encourage long-term executive performance and retention. Long-term incentives are currently delivered exclusively in the form of restricted stock and stock option awards. The Company maintains several substantially identical stock incentive plans that are administered by the Committee. Each of these plans has been approved by our shareholders. The stock incentive plans provide for awards of restricted shares, options (incentive or non-qualified) and stock appreciation rights (although no stock appreciation rights have been awarded to date).

Types of Awards. For the past several years, we have used grants of restricted stock with time-based vesting as our primary method of delivering long-term incentive awards to our named executives. Restricted stock is an effective retention tool because it delivers value when the restrictions lapse even if the share price has decreased from the date of grant. Restricted stock grants also deliver value more efficiently than stock options, which benefits existing shareholders. In other words, granting restricted shares requires the issuance of fewer shares than granting options in order to deliver the same level of value to participants. Further, since the Company’s business is in a volatile and cyclical industry, we believe time-vested restricted stock is an important vehicle for securing leadership continuity. Because there are no performance-based requirements for vesting, this type of award helps moderate the potential retention risks associated with “down” economic cycles, when our executives may be most vulnerable to competitive offers.

In 2006, we reviewed our long-term incentive program and decided to reintroduce the grant of stock options as a key element of long term incentive compensation. Because stock options only have value to the extent the price of our stock appreciates after the date of grant, we believe that options have a much greater performance incentive inherent in their design. This incentive for stock price appreciation is a desirable feature, and we believe stock options should be a meaningful component of long-term compensation for executive officers. On the other hand, we continue to believe that restricted shares with time-based vesting should be a key component of our long-term incentive program for the reasons discussed above.

The mix of equity awards granted to executive officers in February 2007 was 50% stock options and 50% restricted stock. This long-term incentive mix encourages continued accountability of executives for stock price appreciation, aligns the financial interests of executive officers with shareholders, and provides stability of incentive payouts as an acknowledgement of the significant cyclicality of our business. The Company is currently considering the adoption of a long-term incentive plan with equity awards tied to the achievement of Company performance objectives.

Equity Grant Practices. For the past several years, the Committee has awarded annual equity grants in September based on a percentage of each participant’s base salary. For the years 2003 through 2005, the Committee also chose to pay a portion (up to 35%) of bonuses awarded under the Company’s annual incentive plan in the form of equity. Going forward, the Company will not pay a portion of the annual incentive plan bonuses in the form of equity. This change is in recognition of the fact that requiring participants to receive a portion of their

23

END LOGICAL PAGE PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

BEGIN LOGICAL PAGE

annual cash bonus awards in equity is contrary to the purpose of annual cash bonus awards, which is to provide an immediate, current reward for past performance.

In 2006, the Committee granted stock options and restricted stock at its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings in February and September and at a special meeting in July. In 2007, however, the Committee plans to grant stock options and restricted stock only once, which grants were made at the Committee’s meeting in February. The Committee intends to continue this timing going forward. Quarterly meetings of the Board and the Committee for any year are generally scheduled in September of the prior year. Scheduling decisions are made without regard to anticipated earnings announcements or the release of other material, non-public information.

For two of the equity grants in 2006, the date the Committee took action was the same date as the grant date for the awards. At its February meeting, however, the Committee decided to approve awards of restricted stock to named executives, but the actual date of grant was established as March 3, 2006 in order to coincide with the payment of cash bonuses for 2005. Going forward, we intend for the date that the Committee takes action with respect to an award to be the grant date, except in new hire situations where the grant date could be a future employment commencement date.

Policies Regarding Equity Ownership. Although we do not currently require our named executives to own any specified amount of Company stock, the Committee is considering the adoption of an equity ownership requirement. Mr. Rummell is currently subject to a stock retention requirement in his employment agreement, as described under Rummell Employment Agreement on page 26.

We do not backdate stock options or reprice stock options to account for decreases in our share price after the date of grant. We prohibit short sales on our stock, and the purchase or sale of options, puts, calls or other derivative securities that are directly linked to our stock, by named executives.

Determination of Awards. The Committee, based on the recommendations of management, including Mr. Rummell and Mr. Greene, approves the executive officers and other employees who receive awards, the size of any award, and any vesting and other conditions. Both restricted stock and stock option awards are denominated in dollars, which amounts are converted to shares or options based on grant date valuations. Actual restricted shares granted are determined by dividing the approved award by the closing share price on the date of grant. The number of options granted is determined by dividing the approved grant value by the value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology.

2006 Equity Grants. The Committee granted equity awards three times in 2006. First, the Committee granted awards of restricted stock to the named executives in March as a portion of each executive’s annual incentive bonus for 2005. In July 2006, the Committee granted special retention awards of restricted stock to four key executives as part of a succession planning initiative related to the Company’s top leadership. These awards were subject to time-based vesting and were calculated on the basis of a $1.5 million grant for Mr. Greene and $1.0 million grants for each of Messrs. Corr, Corriggio and Drew. The Committee wanted to provide these executive officers with a retention incentive as part of the Board of Directors’ succession planning process after the retirement of Mr. Twomey in May 2006. Because the key purpose of the grants was to motivate the executive officers to stay with the Company as part of its succession plan, the restricted shares were granted subject to time-based vesting.

In September 2006, in order to introduce a long-term performance element into the total compensation of the executive officers, the Committee decided to grant only stock options to the named executives who had received restricted share grants in July. These option grants were intended to provide incentives to the executive officers to enhance the performance of the Company. The September awards were calculated based on a percentage of the named executives’ base salaries determined in accordance with benchmarked long term incentive targets for like positions at certain companies within a market capitalization range of $1.5 to $3.5 billion. The award percentages ranged from 50% to 100% of base salary for the named executives.

Mr. Regan did not receive an equity grant in either July or September. He had announced his plans to retire from the Company in mid-2006, and we believed that additional equity grants would not serve to motivate Mr. Regan’s performance in the short term.

Mr. Rummell did not receive any equity grants in 2006. When he entered into his employment agreement with the Company in 2003, he was awarded 303,951 shares of restricted stock (101,317 shares of which have vested, and the remaining 202,634 shares are scheduled to vest in two equal installments on August 19, 2007 and 2008). Mr. Rummell is not currently expected to receive additional stock option or restricted stock awards during the term of his employment agreement, which expires on August 18, 2008.

Retirement Plans

The Company provides retirement benefits to the executive officers through a cash balance defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”), a 401(k) retirement plan, a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) and a non-qualified deferred capital accumulation plan (“DCAP”). The terms of these plans and the benefits accrued to the executive officers under the plans are described below beginning on page 34. We believe that these retirement benefits are important tools for retaining and rewarding executive officers’ service to the Company by providing meaningful retirement savings through tax-favorable plans. Although we have no target percentage for retirement plans to contribute to total compensation, we do consider retirement benefits when setting an executive officer’s total compensation.

Other Compensation

We provide our named executives with other benefits, reflected in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table below, that we believe are reasonable, competitive and consistent with our overall executive compensation program. The costs of these benefits constitute only a small percentage of each named executive’s total compensation, and include, among other things, financial planning expenses, relocation costs, premiums paid on life insurance policies and the cost of an annual physical. In July 2006, the Company replaced automobile allowances for named executives with corresponding increases in each of their base salaries in order to provide a more flexible benefit to the executives.

Consistent with prior years, during 2006 the Company provided Mr. Rummell and Mr. Twomey with the use of a corporate airplane for personal purposes for up to 60 hours of flight time. These hours of flight time are obtained by the Company through its participation in a fractional ownership program. Mr. Twomey was no longer entitled to use a corporate airplane for personal use after May 16, 2006, when he ceased to serve as an officer of the Company.

Employment Agreements

New Employment Agreements. During 2006, the Committee, together with management and Towers Perrin, undertook a review of the Company’s employment and severance agreements for its executive officers. The terms of the existing agreements, which had been entered into over time, varied among executives. We believed that standardizing the form of agreement among executives would promote compensation fairness among executives and would help to ensure that the interests of the executives were appropriately aligned. As a result of this effort, the Committee approved a new form of employment agreement in July 2006 that was entered into by each named executive and certain other senior officers, excluding Mr. Rummell and Mr. Twomey whose existing employment agreements were unaffected.

The new employment agreements provide for a one-year term that automatically renews for additional one-year periods. During the employment period, the executive will be entitled to receive at least the base salary in effect for the executive on the date of the employment agreement, together with guaranteed participation in the Company’s annual bonus plan and other incentive, retirement and savings plans. The agreements also provide for an annual physical and up to $10,000 per year for financial planning expenses. The potential payments under the new employment agreements in connection with termination or a change in control are described under Employment Agreements of Messrs. Greene, Corr and Regan on page 40.

Regan Employment Agreement. On January 5, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to Mr. Regan’s employment agreement. The amendment provides for Mr. Regan’s continued employment until his retirement on September 30, 2007. Mr. Regan will serve as Chief Financial Officer until such time prior to his retirement date that a successor Chief Financial Officer is named. The amendment was needed in order to provide for additional compensation to Mr. Regan in consideration of the deferral of his retirement date at the Company’s request, and the additional responsibilities he assumed when he was appointed Chief Financial Officer in November 2006. The amendment provides for:

• no increase in Mr. Regan’s annual base salary for 2007;
• no equity grants during 2007;
• a bonus for 2006, if awarded by the Committee in its sole
discretion;
• a bonus for 2007 of $71,250; and
• a stay bonus in the amount of $800,000, payable within
30 days of Mr. Regan’s retirement date.

Rummell Employment Agreement. In August 2003, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Rummell that expires on August 18, 2008. The agreement provides for a base salary of at least $766,782, subject to increase in accordance with our merit planning process. The agreement also provides that Mr. Rummell is eligible for performance-based bonuses under our annual incentive plan, with a target award equal to 100% of his base salary.

Mr. Rummell is not expected to receive stock option or additional restricted stock awards during the term of the agreement. Instead, in 2003 Mr. Rummell was awarded 303,951 shares of restricted stock vesting through 2008. Mr. Rummell agreed not to sell or transfer any of the restricted stock granted pursuant to his employment agreement, except for the number of shares necessary to pay taxes arising upon the lapse of restrictions on the restricted stock,

until the earlier of the termination of his employment by the Company, an unfriendly change of control, one year after a friendly change of control or August 18, 2008. The potential payments under Mr. Rummell’s employment agreement in connection with termination or a change in control are described under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control on page 37.

SFAS 123R granted to the named executives in 2006.
Generally, the full grant date fair value is the amount that the
Company would expense in its financial statements over the
award’s vesting schedule. For restricted stock, the fair
value is calculated using the closing price of Company common
stock on the grant date. For stock options, the fair value is
calculated using the Black-Scholes value on the grant date. The
fair values shown for restricted stock awards and stock option
awards are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. For
additional information regarding the valuation assumptions,
refer to note 2 of the Company’s financial statements
in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC
on February 28, 2007. These amounts reflect the
Company’s accounting expense, and do not necessarily

Pension Benefits in 2006

We sponsor a pension plan that is intended to provide retirement benefits for our employees, including our named executives. The pension plan is a fully-funded, cash balance defined-benefit plan covering all of our employees who have attained age 21 and completed one year of service during which they have completed at least 1,000 hours of service. Each year, all active participants’ accounts are credited with a percentage (8%-12%) of the participant’s compensation, based on the participant’s age at the beginning of the year. In addition, all participants’ accounts are credited with interest based upon the 30-year US treasury bond rate (4.65% for 2006). The accounts of participants with five years of service as of February 1, 1999, will be credited with annual transition contributions until January 31, 2009 ranging from 16%-26% of the participant’s compensation.

A participant vests in his or her pension plan account upon the completion of 5 years of service or upon reaching the plan’s normal retirement age (either age 65 or the age of the participant upon his or her fifth anniversary of employment, whichever is later). At December 31, 2006, all of the named executives were 100% vested in their pension plan accounts (except for Mr. Corriggio, who had no vested balance at the time of his termination of employment).

Vested pension benefits are payable at or after termination of employment and are not reduced by social security or other benefits received by the participant. Pension benefits fully

vest upon a participant’s death. Pension benefits may be paid in a lump sum or in installments.

The table below sets forth information on the pension benefits for the named executives under the Company’s pension plan. For information regarding the Company’s SERP, see the information provided below under the heading Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2006.

1 The amounts shown in this column represent the actuarial present value of each named executive’s accumulated benefit under the Company’s pension plan as of December 31, 2006. The assumptions used to calculate the present values include a discount rate of 5.76%; future interest crediting rate of 4.75%; lump sum form of payment; and a normal retirement age of 65. Turnover, disability, future salary increases, pre-retirement mortality and increases in IRC 401(a)(17) compensation limits were ignored for calculation purposes.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2006

The Company maintains two defined contribution plans, the SERP and DCAP, that provide for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.

SERP. The SERP is designed to supplement the pension plan by providing designated executives, including the named executives, with benefits which have been lost due to IRS restrictions on annual compensation ($220,000 for 2006), which can be taken into account under a qualified pension plan. Each month the Company credits a percentage of each participant’s compensation to the SERP. The percentage of compensation credited is the same as the pension plan, except that a higher percentage (14%-18.25%) is paid to the chief executive officer and a designated group of persons directly reporting to the chief executive officer (generally, Tier 1 participants) over age 45 (which included all named executives other than Mr. Corr and Mr. Corriggio in 2006). SERP accounts earn the same interest as pension accounts, which rate is determined annually by the Compensation Committee (4.65% for 2006). The SERP is accounted for in the Company’s financial statements as a defined contribution plan.

A participant vests in his or her SERP account at the rate of 10% per year of service, with full vesting upon death, disability, or attainment of age 62 while still employed by the Company. Tier 1 participants are entitled to full vesting at age 55 if they were participants in the SERP prior to 2000. For all other participants joining the SERP prior to 2000, their SERP account fully vests upon attainment of age 55 and completion of 5 years of service. At December 31, 2006, the named executives were vested in their SERP accounts according to

35

the following percentages: Mr. Rummell, 100%; Mr. Greene, 86%; Mr. Corr, 83%, Mr. Regan, 100%; Mr. Drew, 55%; Mr. Corriggio, 10% and Mr. Twomey, 100%. Vested SERP benefits are payable in a lump sum six months after an executive’s separation from employment.

DCAP. The DCAP is designed to supplement the Company’s 401(k) plan by allowing designated executives the ability to defer eligible compensation that they could not defer to the 401(k) plan because of IRS restrictions on the amount of compensation which can be taken into account under a qualified 401(k) plan. The DCAP limits employee deferrals to up to 75% of bonuses and up to 50% of eligible compensation other than bonuses. We then match 25% of the first 6% of each participant’s deferrals which were made from eligible compensation in excess of the IRS annual compensation limit ($220,000 for 2006). Participants’ accounts are credited with interest at the rate approved each year by the Compensation Committee (7% for 2006). DCAP benefits may be paid in a lump sum in connection with termination of employment, death, a change in control of the Company, or while still employed if the participant pays an 8.6% penalty.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

As discussed in the CD&A above on page 26, we have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executives. These agreements provide for certain payments and other benefits if a named executive’s employment with the company is terminated under circumstances specified in his respective agreement, including a “change in control” of the Company (as defined in the agreements). A named executive’s rights upon the termination of his employment will depend upon the circumstances of the termination. The key terms of the named executives’ employment agreements are described below.

Employment Agreement of Mr. Rummell

For purposes of Mr. Rummell’s employment agreement:

• The Company has “cause” for termination if he:

| — | is convicted of a felony crime, following final disposition of
any available appeal; |
| --- | --- |
| — | pleads guilty or no contest to a felony crime; or |
| — | commits gross negligence or willfully breaches any material term
of his employment agreement, in each case as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida. |

• Mr. Rummell will have “good reason” for termination:

| — | if he experiences a demotion in title or a substantial and
material reduction in duties or responsibilities that is not in
connection with a succession plan approved by the Company’s
Board of Directors; |
| --- | --- |
| — | if he incurs a reduction in his annual base salary and target
bonus; |
| — | if he is notified that his principal place of work will be moved
to a location that is more than 30 miles from its current
location; or |
| — | if the Company materially breaches any of the provisions of his
employment agreement. |

• A “change in control” is defined as the occurrence of any of the following events:

| — | consummation of a merger, share exchange, consolidation or
corporate reorganization unless all or substantially all of the
owners of the Company’s outstanding voting stock
immediately prior to the transaction own 50% or more of the
surviving entity’s voting stock outstanding immediately
after the transaction; |
| --- | --- |
| — | the sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets; |
| — | certain changes in the composition of the Board of Directors; |
| — | the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or |
| — | any transaction resulting in any person or group acquiring
beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the total voting power of
the Company’s then outstanding voting securities. |

Under the terms of Mr. Rummell’s employment agreement, the following events will trigger termination payments:

• Mr. Rummell terminates his employment for good reason;
• The Company terminates his employment for any reason other than
cause, death, disability or in connection with a succession plan
approved by the Board of Directors; or
• Mr. Rummell terminates his employment for any reason during
the sixth month period immediately following the first
anniversary of a change in control.

bonus of $976,000 exceeds his 2006 target bonus of $837,884. The
target bonus will be pro-rated for the actual number of days
Mr. Rummell is employed by the Company during the year in
which the termination event occurs. |
| 3 | The supplemental pension benefit
consists of a lump sum payment calculated with respect to the
Company’s pension plan, 401(k) plan, DCAP and SERP as if
Mr. Rummell had continued to participate in such plans for
36 months after the termination event. |
| 4 | The value of the restricted stock
is calculated based on $53.57 per share, the closing price
of the Company’s common stock on December 29, 2006. |
| 5 | Calculated as the amount necessary
to satisfy any excise tax incurred under Section 4999 of
the IRC, subject to specified limitations and associated income
tax liability. |

Mr. Rummell will also be entitled to termination payments if his employment is terminated in connection with a management succession plan approved by the Board of Directors. In such event, Mr. Rummell would be entitled to receive termination payments consisting of his base salary and an annual bonus equal to 100% of base salary through August 18, 2008 (which amounts would be pro-rated for partial years). If this termination event had occurred on December 31, 2006, Mr. Rummell would have been entitled to receive cash payments equal to $2,731,732. In the event of termination of employment in connection with a management succession plan, all restrictions on Mr. Rummell’s shares of restricted stock will immediately lapse. The value of this benefit as of December 31, 2006 was $10,855,103.

In the event of Mr. Rummell’s death or disability, his employment agreement provides that all restrictions on shares of restricted stock will immediately lapse. The value of this benefit as of December 31, 2006 was $10,855,103. Further, in the event of death, the Company may pay Mr. Rummell’s estate any bonus that Mr. Rummell may have earned prior to his death.

If there is an “unfriendly” change in control involving the Company, all restrictions on Mr. Rummell’s shares of restricted stock will immediately lapse. The value of this accelerated vesting as of December 31, 2006 was $10,855,103. An unfriendly change in control is a

change in control that has not been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors who were in office 24 months prior to the date of the change in control (“original directors”) or were elected or nominated to the Board by a majority of the original directors in office at the time of such election or nomination and directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved.

Mr. Rummell’s employment agreement requires, as a condition to the receipt of any of the payments described above, that he sign a release in which he waives all claims that he might have against the Company and its affiliates. The agreement also includes provisions that prohibit Mr. Rummell, during the term of his employment and for a period of two years after termination of his employment, from (a) engaging in certain activities that are competitive with our business, (b) soliciting any of our employees to leave employment with the Company, or (c) soliciting any customer.

Employment Agreements of Messrs. Greene, Corr and Regan

For purposes of the employment agreements of Messrs. Greene, Corr and Regan:

• The Company has “cause” for termination if the executive:

| — | fails to substantially perform his employment duties which are
demonstrably willful and deliberate actions on his part and
which are not remedied in a reasonable period of time after
receipt of written notice from the Company (no act, or failure
to act, will be considered “willful” if done, or
omitted to be done, by the executive in good faith or with
reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best
interests of the Company); or |
| --- | --- |
| — | engages in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. |

• The executive will have “good reason” for termination if

| — | he experiences a significant diminution in his position,
authority, comparable duties or responsibilities; |
| --- | --- |
| — | the Company fails to comply with compensation provisions of the
agreement; |
| — | the Company requires the executive to be based at any office or
location more than 50 miles from the executive’s
current location; |
| — | the Company attempts to terminate the executive otherwise than
as expressly permitted by the agreement; or |
| — | the Company does not require any successor company to comply
with the terms of the agreement. |

• A “change in control” is defined as the occurrence of any of the following events:

| — | the acquisition of 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding
common stock; |
| --- | --- |
| — | certain changes in the composition of the Board of Directors; |
| — | a Company reorganization, merger, consolidation or other
business combination in which the owners of the common stock of
the Company before the transaction do not own more than 50% of
the common stock of the surviving company; |

— a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or
— the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company.

The following events will trigger termination payments to the affected executive:

• the executive terminates his employment for good reason; or
• the Company terminates his employment for any reason other than
cause, death or disability.

If the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause or due to death or disability, or by the executive for good reason, the executive will be entitled to receive the following benefits:

| • | a lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of the
executive’s base salary plus the executive’s targeted
annual bonus; |
| --- | --- |
| • | a pro rata portion of the annual bonus the executive would have
earned in that year; |
| • | 18 months of health and welfare benefits; and |
| • | reimbursement of up to $20,000 for outplacement services. |

If the executive’s employment is terminated during the two year period following a change of control by the Company other than for cause or by the executive for good reason, the executive’s termination payments would be increased. Generally, each executive would receive the following benefits:

| • | a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the
executive’s base salary plus the executive’s targeted
annual bonus; |
| --- | --- |
| • | a pro rata portion of the annual bonus the executive would have
earned in that year; |
| • | an amount calculated based on hypothetical continued service by
the executive for a period of three years (for
Messrs. Greene and Corr) or two years (for Mr. Regan)
for purposes of determining benefits payable under the
Company’s retirement plan and supplemental retirement plan,
but only to the extent such amount would exceed the
executive’s actual benefit under the plans; |
| • | continued health and welfare benefits through the conclusion of
the two year period after the change of control; |
| • | reimbursement of up to $20,000 for outplacement
services; and |
| • | a gross-up amount for any required excise tax payments. |

These benefits would also be payable to the executive in the event that the executive is terminated in anticipation of a change of control event.

Company’s 2006 expenses for these benefits. The amounts
shown for each executive for termination after a change in
control include the cost of 24 months of medical and dental
insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, financial
planning and executive physical reimbursement based on the
Company’s 2006 expenses for these benefits. |

acceleration occurs upon the occurrence of a change in control
regardless of whether or not the executive’s |

employment terminates in connection with the change in control. See the discussion of accelerated vesting below.

Each of the employment agreements of Messrs. Greene, Corr and Regan require, as a condition to the receipt of any of the payments described above, that he sign a release in which he waives all claims that he might have against the Company and its affiliates. The agreement also includes provisions that prohibit him, for a period of one year after termination of his employment, from (a) engaging in certain activities that are competitive with our business, (b) soliciting any of our employees to leave employment with the Company, and (c) making disparaging comments about the Company. An executive that violates these restrictive covenants would be required to return any payments made in connection with a termination event under his employment agreement.

Restricted Stock and Stock Option Agreements of Messrs. Greene, Corr and Regan

Messrs. Greene, Corr and Regan each have separate stock option agreements and restricted stock agreements applicable to each grant of restricted stock or stock options that govern the acceleration of vesting in connection with certain events. Those agreements provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the executive’s death or disability. The equity agreements do not provide for accelerated vesting in the event the executive terminates his employment for good reason or if the Company terminates his employment without cause. Equity agreements for grants made since July 2006 provide for the continued vesting of restricted stock and stock options after an executive’s retirement in accordance with the original vesting schedule. Equity agreements for grants made prior to July 2006 provide that only awards of restricted stock made in connection with an executive’s annual bonus continue to vest after retirement (all other equity awards lapse).

The equity agreements also provide for the accelerated vesting of all unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options upon a change in control of the Company. A change in control for purposes of the equity agreements includes the following events: (1) a merger transaction in which the owners of the common stock of the Company before the transaction own 50% or less of the common stock of the surviving company; (2) the sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and (3) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Prior to July 2006, the equity agreements provided that unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options did not vest until the earlier of 360 days following a change in control or the employee’s termination following such change in control. All outstanding equity agreements were amended in July 2006 to provide for immediate acceleration of vesting upon a change in control.

The following table shows the value of the accelerated vesting of each executive’s unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options upon the executive’s death or disability, or upon a change in control involving the Company, as of December 31, 2006. The value of the restricted stock is calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 29, 2006, and the value of the stock options is calculated based on the excess of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 29, 2006, over the exercise prices of such options.

Payments to Messrs. Drew, Corriggio and Twomey

Drew and Corriggio. Mr. Corriggio’s employment terminated on November 6, 2006, and Mr. Drew’s employment terminated on January 12, 2007. Both executives had employment agreements containing substantially the same terms as Messrs. Greene, Corr and Regan, which agreements require payments to the executive for a termination by the Company other than for cause. All unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options were forfeited by each executive upon termination. The payments to Messrs. Drew and Corriggio pursuant to their employment agreements are summarized as follows:

Twomey. In February 2006, the Board of Directors approved a management succession plan for the Company pursuant to which Mr. Twomey ceased to serve as an executive officer in May 2006 and retired from the Company on December 28, 2006. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Twomey will continue to receive the following benefits through August 18, 2008: (1) base salary of $625,000; (2) annual bonus payments of $562,500 (which bonus payment would be pro-rated for 2008); and (3) a car allowance of $1,200 per month. For 2006, Mr. Twomey received the compensation and benefits described in the Summary Compensation Table on page 28.

Mr. Twomey had 162,106 unvested shares of restricted stock vest on his retirement date. The value of such accelerated vesting was $8,607,829, based on a per-share price of $53.10 on December 28, 2006.

Director Compensation in 2006

Cash Compensation. The Company provides non-employee directors the following fees:

• $50,000 annual retainer for each non-employee director;
• $5,000 to the Chairs of the Finance, Compensation and Governance
and Nominating Committees;
• $10,000 to the Chair of the Audit Committee; and
• $15,000 to the lead director.

All fees are paid quarterly in advance. We do not pay meeting fees. Mr. Rummell is the only director who is also an employee of the Company, and he receives no additional compensation for his service as a director. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves director compensation annually.

Directors may elect to receive their annual fees in common stock in lieu of cash having an aggregate value equal to $62,500, or 1.25 times the cash-only retainer of $50,000. Directors may also elect to receive a combination of common stock in the amount of $42,500 and cash in the amount of $20,000. Committee chairs and the lead director may also elect to receive their additional retainers in the form of common stock at a value equal to 1.25 times the additional cash retainer. Shares of common stock issued in lieu of cash fees are granted on the first business day of each quarter.

Stock Compensation. Each director is granted 1,500 shares of Company common stock annually in May upon re-election to the Board. We have no minimum stock ownership requirements for directors. Each director does agree, however, to retain ownership of any shares of common stock received until the earlier of five years from the date of grant or the director’s retirement from the board.

Expense Reimbursement. We reimburse directors for travel expenses related to attending Board and committee meetings. In certain circumstances, we will pay the costs for directors to fly on our corporate airplane to attend Board and committee meetings. We also invite director spouses to accompany directors to our May board meeting, for which we pay or reimburse travel expenses.

We also reimburse directors for seminar fees and travel expenses associated with attending one approved educational seminar each year. Participation in the Company’s health insurance program is available for directors at their expense.

Charitable Matching Program. We have chosen to support the charitable and civic activities of our directors. We will match each director’s cash contributions to charities in which he or she serves as an officer or trustee up to an aggregate annual amount of $5,000 per director. We will also contribute to events at which directors are recognized for their services to charitable or civic causes.
