TO BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 2007
Solicitation
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Administaff, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the Company or Administaff), for use at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to
be held on May 2, 2007, and at any reconvened meeting after an adjournment thereof. The Annual
Meeting of Stockholders will be held at 4:00 p.m., (Central Daylight Savings Time,) at the Companys
Corporate Headquarters, Centre I in the Auditorium located at 22900 Hwy. 59 N. (Eastex Freeway),
Kingwood, Texas 77339.
Voting Information
Stockholders of record may vote in one of four ways:
|
|
|
by attending the meeting and voting in person; |
|
|
|
|
by signing, dating and returning your proxy in the envelope provided; |
|
|
|
|
by submitting your proxy on the Internet at the address listed on your proxy card; or |
|
|
|
|
by submitting your proxy using the toll-free number listed on your proxy card. |
If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you may submit your voting
instructions by signing and timely returning the enclosed voting instruction form, by Internet at
the address shown on your voting instruction form, by telephone using the toll-free number shown on
that form, or by providing other proper voting instructions to the registered owner of your shares.
If you either return your signed proxy or submit your proxy using the Internet or telephone
procedures that may be available to you, your shares will be voted as you direct. If the
accompanying proxy is properly executed and returned, but no voting directions are indicated
thereon, the shares represented thereby will be voted FOR each of the proposals set forth in this
proxy statement. In addition, the proxy confers discretionary authority to the persons named in
the proxy authorizing those persons to vote, in their discretion, on any other matters properly
presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors is not currently aware of
any such other matters. Any stockholder of record giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any
time before it is voted by: (i) submitting written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the
Company at the address listed above; (ii) submitting another proxy that is properly signed and
later dated; (iii) submitting a proxy again on the Internet or by telephone; or (iv) voting in
person at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who hold their shares through a nominee or broker are
invited to attend the meeting but must obtain a signed proxy from the broker in order to vote in
person.
The Company pays the expense of preparing, printing and mailing proxy materials to our
stockholders. Our transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, LLC, will assist in the solicitation
of proxies from stockholders at a fee of approximately $500 plus reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by
officers or employees of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation. We will
also reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their reasonable expenses in forwarding
proxy materials to beneficial owners of our Common Stock.
The approximate date on which this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card will first
be sent to stockholders is March 28, 2007.

At the close of business on March 5, 2007, the record date for the determination of
stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the 2007 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders or any reconvened meeting after an adjournment thereof, 27,914,372 shares of the
Companys Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), were outstanding. Each
share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be voted on at the
meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock is required for a quorum. If a quorum is present at the meeting, under the Companys bylaws,
action on a matter (other than the election of directors) shall be approved if the votes cast in
favor of the matter exceed the votes cast opposing the matter. Directors of the Company shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes cast. In determining the number of votes cast, shares
abstaining from voting or not voted on a matter will not be treated as votes cast. Accordingly,
although proxies containing broker non-votes (which result when a broker holding shares for a
beneficial owner has not received timely voting instructions on certain matters from such
beneficial owner) are considered shares present in determining whether there is a quorum present
at the Annual Meeting, they are not treated as votes cast with respect to any matter, and thus will
not affect the outcome of the voting on a particular proposal.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP
The table below sets forth, as of March 5, 2007, certain information with respect to the
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by: (i) each person known by the Company to beneficially
own 5% or more of the Common Stock; (ii) each director and director nominee of the Company; (iii)
each of the executive officers of the Company identified in the Summary Compensation Table on page
18 of this proxy statement; and (iv) all directors, director nominees and executive officers of the
Company as a group.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
General
The Companys Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the number of directors on
the Board shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors but shall not be less than
three nor more than 15 persons. The number of members constituting the Board of Directors is
currently fixed at eight.
In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the members of the Board
of Directors are divided into three classes and are elected for a term of office expiring at the
third succeeding annual stockholders meeting following their election to office, or until a
successor is duly elected and qualified. The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that such
classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. The terms of office of the Class I, Class
II and Class III directors expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2008, 2009 and 2007,
respectively.
The term of office of each of the current Class III directors expires at the time of the 2007
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or as soon thereafter as their successors are elected and
qualified. Messrs. Fields, Lattanzio and Rawson have been nominated to serve an additional
three-year term as Class III directors. All nominees have consented to be named in this proxy
statement and to serve as a director if elected.
It is the intention of the person or persons named in the accompanying proxy card to vote for
the election of all nominees named below unless a stockholder has withheld such authority. The
affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the Common Stock present in person
or by proxy at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is required for election of the nominees.
5

should be unable or decline to serve, the discretionary authority provided in the proxy may be used

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Administaff has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which include guidelines for, among
other things, director responsibilities, qualifications and independence. The Board continually
monitors developments in corporate governance practices and regulatory changes and periodically
assesses the adequacy of and modifies its Corporate Governance Guidelines and committee charters as
warranted in light of such developments. You can access the Companys Corporate Governance
Guidelines in their entirety on the Companys Web site at
www.administaff.com under Corporate
Governance in the Company Information section. Any stockholder who so requests may obtain a
printed copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines free
7
of charge by contacting Ruth Holub, Investor Relations Specialist, Administaff, Inc., 19001
Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339.
On an annual basis, each director and executive officer is obligated to complete a
questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which the director
or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect
material interest.
Determinations of Director Independence
Under rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company must have a majority of independent
directors. No board member qualifies as independent unless the Board of Directors affirmatively
determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a
partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). In
evaluating each directors independence, the Board of Directors considered all relevant facts and
circumstances and relationships and transactions between each director, her or his family members
or any business, charity or other entity in which the director has an interest on the one hand, and
the Company, its affiliates, or the Companys senior management on the other. As a result of this
review, at its meeting held on January 30, 2007, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined
that all of the Companys directors are independent from the Company and its management, with the
exception of Messrs. Sarvadi and Rawson, both of whom are members of the senior management of the
Company.
The Board of Directors has considered what types of disclosure should be made relating to the
process of determining director independence. To assist the Board in making disclosures regarding
its determinations of independence, the Board has adopted categorical standards as permitted under
the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. These categorical standards deal only with
what types of relationships need to be disclosed and not whether a particular director is
independent. The Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a
director is independent. However, the relationships satisfying the categorical standards are not
required to be disclosed or separately discussed in our proxy statement. A relationship satisfies
the categorical standards adopted by the board if it:
|
|
|
is not a relationship that would preclude a determination of independence under
Section 303A.02(b) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual; |
|
|
|
|
consists of charitable contributions by Administaff to an organization where a
director is an executive officer and does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of
the organizations gross revenue in any of the last three years; and |
|
|
|
|
is not required to be, and it is not otherwise, disclosed in Administaffs annual
proxy statement. |
In the course of the Boards determination regarding the independence of directors other than
Messrs. Sarvadi and Rawson, it considered all transactions, relationships and arrangements in which
such directors and Administaff were participants. In particular, with respect to each of the most
recent three fiscal years, the Board evaluated Administaffs provision of PEO-related services to
companies owned by Mr. Fields, and its employment of Dr. Joness daughter. The Board of Directors
has determined that these relationships are not material. In making this determination with
respect to Mr. Fields, the Board considered the facts that: (i) the company pays Administaff
comprehensive service fees on the same basis as all other clients; and (ii) payments net of payroll
costs made by the company were less than 0.1% of Administaffs revenues in each of the last three
fiscal years. In making this determination with respect to Dr. Jones, the Board considered the
position and salary of Dr. Joness daughter within the Company.
Selection of Nominees for the Board of Directors
Identifying Candidates
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee solicits ideas for potential Board
candidates from a number of sources including members of the Board of Directors, executive officers
of the Company, individuals personally known to the members of the Board of Directors, and
research. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also has sole authority to select and
compensate a third-party executive search firm to help identify candidates, if it deems advisable.
In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for the
Board submitted by stockholders. Any such submissions should include the candidates name and
qualifications for Board membership and should be directed to the Corporate Secretary of
Administaff at 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339. Although the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee does not require the stockholder to submit any particular
information regarding the qualifications of the stockholders candidate, the level of consideration
that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will give to the stockholders candidate
will be commensurate with the quality and quantity of
8
information about the candidate that the nominating stockholder makes available to the
Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all candidates
identified through the processes described above, and will evaluate each of them on the same basis.
In addition, the Bylaws of the Company permit stockholders to nominate directors for election
at an annual stockholders meeting whether or not such nominee is submitted to and evaluated by the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. To nominate a director using this process, the
stockholder must follow the procedures described under Additional Information Advance Notice
Required for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals below.
Evaluating Candidates
Each candidate must meet certain minimum qualifications, including:
|
|
|
the ability to represent the interests of all stockholders of the Company and not
just one particular constituency; |
|
|
|
|
independence of thought and judgment; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the performance of
her or his duties, taking into consideration the prospective nominees service on other
public company boards; and |
|
|
|
|
the skills and expertise of the prospective nominee are complementary to the
existing Board members skills; in this regard, the Board of Directors will consider
the Boards need for operational, sales, management, financial, governmental or other
relevant expertise. |
In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers other qualities
that it may deem to be desirable from time to time, such as the extent to which the prospective
nominee contributes to the diversity of the Board of Directorswith diversity being construed
broadly to include a variety of perspectives, opinions, experiences and backgrounds. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the ability of the prospective
nominee to work with the then-existing interpersonal dynamics of the Board of Directors and her or
his ability to contribute to the collaborative culture among Board members.
Based on this initial evaluation, the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee will determine whether to interview the nominee, and if warranted, will recommend that
one or more members of the Committee, other members of the Board and senior management, as
appropriate, interview the nominee in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation and
interview process, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board of Directors as to the
persons who should be nominated by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors determines
the nominees after considering the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code),
governing the conduct of the Companys directors, officers and employees. The Code, which meets
the requirements of Rule 303A.10 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and Item 406
of Regulation S-K, is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full, fair, accurate, timely
and understandable disclosure in the Companys public filings, compliance with laws and the prompt
internal reporting of violations of the Code. You can access the Code on the Companys Web site at
www.administaff.com under Corporate Governance in the Company Information section. Any stockholder
who so requests may obtain a printed copy of the Code free of charge by contacting Ruth Holub,
Investor Relations Specialist, Administaff, Inc., 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas
77339. Changes in and waivers to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for the Companys
directors, executive officers and certain senior financial officers will be posted on the Companys
Internet Web site within five business days and maintained for at least 12 months. If you wish to
raise a question or concern or report a violation to the Finance, Risk Management and Audit
Committee, you should go to www.ethicspoint.com or call the Ethicspoint toll-free hotline at
1-866-384-4277.
Stockholder Communications
Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate directly with the entire Board of
Directors or the non-management directors as a group by sending an email to
directors@administaff.com. In the subject line of the email, please specify whether the
communication is addressed to the entire Board of Directors or to the non-management directors.
9
Alternatively, you may mail your correspondence to the Board in care of the Corporate Secretary,
19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339.
Unless any director directs otherwise, communications received (via U.S. mail or email) will
be reviewed by the Corporate Secretary who will exercise his discretion not to forward to the Board
correspondence that is inappropriate such as business solicitations, frivolous communications and
advertising, routine business matters (i.e., business inquiries, complaints, or suggestions), and
personal grievances.
MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
The Board
Directors are expected to attend all or substantially all Board meetings and meetings of the
Committees of the Board on which they serve. Directors are also expected to spend the necessary
time to discharge their responsibilities appropriately (including advance review of meeting
materials) and to ensure that other existing or future commitments do not materially interfere with
their responsibilities as members of the Board. The Board met five times in 2006, which included
four regularly scheduled meetings and one unscheduled meeting. All of the members of the Board
participated in more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and Committees of which they were
members during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Board expects its members to attend
the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders. Last year seven of the Companys eight directors attended
the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders.
Executive Sessions of the Board of Directors and the Presiding Director
The Companys non-management directors hold executive sessions at which the Companys
management is not in attendance at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. The Chairperson of the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, currently Mr. Petsch, serves as presiding director
at the executive sessions. In the absence of the Chairperson, a majority of the members present at
the executive session will appoint a member to preside at the meeting.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has appointed three committees: the Finance, Risk Management and Audit
Committee; the Compensation Committee; and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The
charters for each of the three committees, which have been adopted by the Board of Directors,
contain a detailed description of the respective committees duties and responsibilities and are
available under Corporate Governance in the Company Information section on the Companys Web site
at www.administaff.com. Any stockholder who so requests may obtain a printed copy of the committee
charters free of charge by contacting Ruth Holub, Investor Relations Specialist, Administaff, Inc.,

appropriate. Pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors or the
Compensation Committee may delegate the Compensation Committees authority under the Incentive Plan
to the Chairman of the Board, pursuant to such conditions and limitations as each may establish,
except that neither may delegate to any person the authority to make awards, or take other action,
under the Incentive Plan with respect to participants who may be subject to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Program Objectives
Administaff is committed to attracting, motivating, retaining and encouraging long-term
employment of individuals with a demonstrated commitment to integrity and exemplary personal
standards of performance. The Administaff culture is based upon the value of and respect for each
individual, encouraging personal and professional growth, rewarding outstanding individual and
corporate performance, and achieving excellence through a high-energy, fun work environment. We
are convinced these elements contribute to the vision of Administaff to be an employer of choice,
which increases the value and potential of the Company for clients, employees, stockholders, and
the communities where we live and work.
Our compensation policies for executives are based on the same principles that we employ in
establishing all of our compensation programs. For executives, our compensation programs are
designed to:
|
|
|
attract and retain key executive officers responsible for the success of the Company,
and |
|
|
|
|
motivate management to achieve both short-term business goals and to enhance long-term
stockholder value through our pay for performance philosophy. |
|
|
|
|
To accomplish these goals, Administaff adheres to the compensation strategies discussed
below. |
Compensation Strategies
|
|
|
We have established and strive to maintain a performance-driven culture that generates
Company growth by recognizing and rewarding employees who believe in their own ability to
reach and exceed their compensation objectives. |
11
|
|
|
As part of our competitive compensation program, Administaffs base salary system
compensates employees based upon job responsibilities, level of experience, individual
performance, comparisons to the market, and internal comparisons. As employees progress to
higher levels in the Company, an increasing proportion of their compensation is linked to
Company performance. |
|
|
|
|
We provide substantial incentive compensation to recognize and reward individual and
corporate performance through a variable pay component that is affordable and equitable to
both employees and stockholders, and that directly supports our business objectives. Our
variable pay component utilizes business performance criteria that encourage the attainment
of strategic objectives, with the goal of aligning the interests of the executive officers
with those of the stockholders. |
|
|
|
|
We have also created a strong mutuality of interest between executive officers and
stockholders through the use of long-term equity incentive compensation opportunities. |
|
|
|
|
We provide a competitive benefits package at the best possible value to the Company that
recognizes and encourages work-life balance and fosters a career commitment to Administaff. |
Elements of Compensation
The annual compensation package for executive officers consists of: (i) an annual base salary
payable in cash; (ii) variable cash compensation, which is targeted as a percentage of
base pay; (iii) long-term equity incentive compensation; and (iv) special or supplemental benefits,
including management perquisites.
Base Salary
A competitive base annual salary is designed to secure and retain talented executive officers.
Administaff conducts an annual executive compensation study to ensure executive compensation
remains competitive. A more detailed discussion of this study is included below under
Determination of Compensation Amounts and Formulas.
Variable Cash Compensation
The Company believes that variable cash compensation is a key element of the total
compensation of each executive officer. Such compensation embodies our pay-for-performance
philosophy whereby a significant portion of executive compensation is at risk and tied to
corporate, departmental, and individual performance.
Long-term Equity Incentive Compensation
Long-term equity incentives align the interests of the executive officers with those of the
stockholders. We believe that long-term incentives enhance retention while rewarding executive
officers for their service. The objectives of Administaffs long-term equity incentive
compensation, which is awarded under the stockholder-approved Administaff, Inc. 2001 Incentive Plan
(Incentive Plan), are detailed under Determination of Compensation Amounts and Formulas below.
Special or Supplemental Benefits, Including Management Perquisites
Executive compensation also includes a limited number of perquisites and supplemental benefits
that enhance the Companys ability to attract and retain talented executive officers in todays
market. The Company also believes certain perquisites assist in the operation of business,
allowing executive officers more time to focus on business objectives.
Retirement Benefits
We do not provide pension arrangements, post-retirement health coverage, or nonqualified
defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans for our directors, executive officers or
employees. Our executive officers and employees are eligible to participate in our 401(k) defined
contribution plan. We will contribute to each participant a matching contribution equal to 100% of
the first 6% of the participants compensation that has been contributed to the plan, up to the
maximum contribution amount allowed under the federal tax rules. All of our executive officers
participated in our 401(k) plan during fiscal year 2006 and received matching contributions, which
are included under the caption All Other Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table on page
18.
12
Determination of Compensation Amounts and Formulas
The Company conducts an annual executive compensation study which compares each executive
officers compensation to market data for similar positions as well as considering various internal
factors of the Company. Each year, the Compensation Committee determines whether the study is to
be performed internally by Administaffs Manager of Compensation or by an outside consulting firm.
Administaffs Manager of Compensation conducted an executive compensation study (the
Compensation Study) to determine competitive market pay for each executive officer of the
Company. The Compensation Study was presented to the Compensation Committee in February 2006 for
its review in considering salary adjustments for executive officers. The Compensation Study
identified and analyzed a peer group of companies (the Compensation Peer Group) using the most
recent public information regarding the total compensation package for each of the top five highest
paid executive officers, including base salary, annual incentives, total cash compensation (base
salary plus annual incentives), long-term incentives, total pay (total cash plus annualized value
of long-term incentives) and perquisites. The Compensation Peer Group, which was selected in 2003
with the assistance of an outside consulting firm, Pearl Meyer & Partners, consisted of 13
publicly-traded companies that provide human resource services and whose median revenues equated to
$1.1 billion. The Compensation Peer Group included 10 companies in addition to those included in
the peer group for comparing total stockholder return (TSR Peer Group). The TSR Peer Group
consists of companies that either provide PEO services or whose operations include PEO services.
The additional companies included in the Compensation Peer Group are companies that compete with
Administaff for executive talent. The Compensation Peer Group and TSR Peer Group are as follows:

In addition to the Compensation Study, the Compensation Committee also reviewed comparisons of
perquisites and long-term incentives included in published survey data provided from the Watson
Wyatt Survey Report on Nonqualified Benefits and Perquisites Practices and the Clark Consulting
CHiPS Survey, respectively.
Internal factors are also an important consideration when determining each executive officers
compensation. These factors include: the executive officers performance review conducted by the
Chief Executive Officer; the executive officers tenure with the Company; his or her industry
experience; his or her ability to influence stockholder value; and the importance of the executive
officers position to the Company in relation to the other executive officer positions within the
Company.
Base Salary 1
The base salary is intended to provide stable annual compensation to attract and retain
talented executive officers. Changes in base salary for each executive officer are determined
based upon the executive officers individual contribution to the success of the Company and
external market comparisons. For example, in 2006, the Compensation Study indicated that the
salary of our Chief Financial Officer was significantly below market considering his experience
within his position. The Chief Financial Officers base salary, therefore, was increased
to reflect the knowledge and expertise he currently contributes to his position. The average
annual merit increase for executive officers in 2006 was 9.5%, which is competitive with the
average merit increase for the Compensation Peer Group in the most recently ended fiscal year for
which data was available.

Variable Compensation 1
Variable compensation for all executive officers as well as most non-management employees is
paid through the Administaff Annual Incentive Plan (AAIP), a non-equity incentive plan. The AAIP
is intended to link each executive officers compensation to the Companys performance as well as
to his or her individual performance. For 2006, the Compensation Committee set a target for
variable compensation that was computed as a percentage of each executive officers base salary.
The AAIP provided a payout scale with significant opportunity for high performance and zero payout
for low performance.
The percentage of the target variable compensation paid could range from zero to 150% of
target, depending on whether the executive officer met the threshold, target or maximum level of
his or her performance goals established in early 2006. If the executive officer reached the
threshold level for performance measurements, he or she was paid 50% of the targeted variable
compensation. If the executive officer reached the targeted level for performance measurements, he
or she was paid 100% of the targeted variable compensation. If the executive officer reached the
maximum level for performance measurements, he or she was paid 150% of the targeted variable
compensation. The targeted variable compensation as a percentage of base salary for 2006 was set
at: 120% for the Chief Executive Officer; 100% for the President, the Chief Operating Officer, and
the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing; and 80% for the Chief Financial Officer.
For 2006, the targeted variable compensation was based on three performance measurements:
corporate, departmental and individual. The Company sets specific metric goals each year for the
corporate performance measurement. In 2006, the corporate performance measurement was based on the
Companys operating income per worksite employee. For corporate performance, the threshold,
target, and maximum would be met if we achieved operating income per worksite employee of $42, $46,
and $50, respectively. The corporate performance measurement portion of variable compensation was
the same for all employees of the Company. The departmental performance measurements were
developed by each department based on various projects to be completed within each department that
would have a major impact upon the Companys operations as a whole. Each executive officers
departmental goals are derived from the goals set for his or her department. The individual
performance measurements were based on annual performance reviews of the achievement of pre-set,
specific individual performance goals and competencies. During each year, the Compensation
Committee periodically reviews the progress made towards meeting the corporate and departmental
goals. Criteria considered in evaluation of individual performance of executive officers included
generating revenue, mobilizing talent, personal and professional development, ability to run the
business, servant leadership, and setting the course of the business. Administaff utilizes a
talent management software system to track individual goals and rate each employee on predetermined
competencies.
The variable compensation for executive officers was weighted more heavily toward the
corporate performance and differed among the executive officers depending upon their position. For
2006, the Chief Executive Officers compensation was weighted 80% on corporate performance and 20%
on individual performance. The President, Chief Operating Officer, and Executive Vice President of
Sales and Marketing had measurement weightings of 60% corporate, 20% departmental, and 20%
individual. The Chief Financial Officer had measurement ratings of 50% corporate, 30%
departmental, and 20% individual.
In 2006, the Companys operating income per worksite employee was $51, which exceeded the
maximum target level established by the AAIP. As a result, the Compensation Committee awarded the
executive officers, along with substantially all other employees, an award amount in excess of the
maximum amounts provided by the corporate performance component of the AAIP. The amounts awarded
were determined using a pro-rata scale based on the actual operating income per worksite employee
earned in 2006.
Long-term Incentive Compensation 2
Long-term incentive compensation is provided through the Incentive Plan, the objectives of
which are: (i) to provide incentives to attract and retain persons with training, experience and
ability to serve as employees of the Company; (ii) to promote the interests of the Company by
encouraging employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire or increase their equity
interest in the Company; (iii) to provide a means whereby employees and outside directors may
develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success
of the Company; and (iv) to encourage employees and outside directors to remain with and devote
their best efforts to the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company
and its stockholders. Awards granted under the Incentive Plan have historically been made in the
form of stock options or restricted stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, future
awards may include phantom

shares, performance units, bonus stock or other incentive awards. The Company may
periodically grant new options, restricted stock, or other long-term incentives to provide
continuing incentive for future performance. The award size and recipients of awards are
determined by the degree to which a particular position in the Company has the ability to influence
stockholder value. The Company anticipates continuing to utilize restricted stock with a
three-year vesting schedule. The awards are valued using the closing price of the Companys stock
on the day the awards are approved by the Compensation Committee.
In recent years, the Company has awarded restricted stock rather than options. The Company
believes the current accounting treatment of restricted stock more closely reflects the economic
value of the award to the employees as compared to that of stock options. The Company requested an
increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Incentive Plan,
which was approved by the stockholders in May 2006. Thereafter, the Chief Executive Officer
presented his recommendations for awards of restricted stock to the Compensation Committee. The
Chief Executive Officers recommendations for the executive officers awards were based upon the
performance of each executive officer and the importance of each executive officers role in the
Companys future business operations. In the past, executive officers who were not meeting
expected performance received a reduced award or had the award eliminated entirely. The 2006
recommendations did not include any restricted stock grants to the Chief Executive Officer or the
President in order to increase the number of shares awarded to other executive officers so that
their incentives would be maximized. The Compensation Committee then determined and approved the
awards after considering the Chief Executive Officers recommendations and revising the amount of
the awards as the Compensation Committee deemed necessary.
Under the terms of the Incentive Plan, all conditions and/or restrictions that must be met
with respect to vesting or exercisability of an award immediately lapse upon a change in control
of the Company as defined under the Incentive Plan.
Special
or Supplemental Benefits, Including Management Perquisites 1
The Company provides a limited number of supplemental benefits and perquisites to assist
executive officers in the operation of the Company, as well as to attract and retain key executive
officers. These include the following:
Automobile
The Company provides automobiles to executive officers for both business and personal
use. The executive officers are taxed for their personal use of the automobile.
Supplemental Executive Disability Income Plan
In 2006, the Company implemented a supplemental executive disability income plan for
executive officers and a small group of upper management employees in order to more fairly
provide disability benefits to that group. The supplemental executive disability income
plan provides replacement of 75% of total cash compensation up to $20,000 per month. The
plan recognizes the significant variable pay at the senior levels in the Company and the
benefit limitations of the Companys basic long term disability plan, which provides
replacement of 60% of base salary only up to $10,000 per month.
Executive Wellness Plan
The Company offers an Executive Wellness Plan to the executive officers to assist them
in maintaining their health. The plan pays up to $2,000 each year for wellness services
which allow the executive officers an opportunity to have a clear understanding of their
current physical condition, risk factors, and ways to improve their health.
Chairmans Trip
An annual Chairmans Trip is held for employees recognized during the year for their
outstanding service and for sales representatives meeting a certain sales target. The
Company believes executive officers should be part of the trip to recognize these
outstanding employees of the Company. Therefore, the Company provides the opportunity for
all executive officers and their spouses to attend the Chairmans Trip. The Company also
pays the associated income taxes related to the trip on behalf of the employees and the
executive officers.

Club Membership
The Company provides and pays for a country club membership for each executive officer.
The Company believes club memberships provide an opportunity to build business and client
relationships while also promoting a healthy lifestyle for each executive officer.
Aircraft
The Company provides access to the Company-owned aircraft to the Chief Executive
Officer, the President, the Chief Operating Officer, and the Executive Vice President, Sales
and Marketing for personal use. These individuals are required to reimburse the Company for
the incremental cost associated with their personal use of the aircraft. The incremental
cost is calculated by multiplying the number of hours of personal use by the average
incremental cost per hour.
Personal Life Insurance
The Company provided personal term life insurance policies with a face amount of
$500,000 each to the Chief Executive Officer and the President. These policies were issued
in July 1990 prior to the Companys initial public offering. They were both cancelled in
January 2007.
Post Employment Compensation
Administaffs executive officers are employed at will. Administaff does not have any
severance agreements with its executive officers or a formal severance policy. In 2006, no
executive officers departed from the Company.
Other Personal Benefits
Periodically, executive officers attend Company-related activities, such as
professional sporting events or out-of-town business meetings, in which the Company incurs
travel and other event-related expenses. Such events may include the spouses of the
executives.
Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a $1 million limit on
the amount that a public company may deduct for compensation paid to the companys chief executive
officer or any of the companys four other most highly compensated executive officers employed as
of the end of the year. This limitation does not apply to compensation that is paid only if the
executives performance meets pre-established objective goals based on performance criteria
approved by stockholders. We have taken action, where possible and considered appropriate, to
preserve the deductibility of compensation paid to the Companys executive officers. We have also
awarded compensation that might not be fully tax deductible when such grants were nonetheless in
the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Company generally will be entitled to
take tax deductions relating to compensation that is performance-based, which may include cash
incentives, stock options, restricted stock, and other performance-based awards.
Summary
Administaffs overall compensation objective is a pay-for-performance philosophy. A majority
of each executive officers total compensation package consists of a long-term incentive component
and a variable compensation component, with a goal of aligning the interests of the executive
officers with that of the stockholders, as well as tying their compensation to the performance of
the Company. A stable base salary is provided in order to remain competitive with the market, with
a small percentage of an executive officers total compensation consisting of supplemental benefits
and perquisites. We believe this combination of compensation elements supports our compensation
objective of a pay-for-performance philosophy.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
We have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this
proxy statement with management. Based on such review, we recommended to the Board of Directors
that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement for filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
The table below summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by the Companys Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and each of the three other most highly compensated
executive officers of the Company (collectively the Named Executive Officers) for services
rendered in all capacities to the Company during 2006. The Company has not entered into any
employment agreements with any of the Named Executive Officers. When setting total compensation
for each of the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee reviews tally sheets which
show the executives current compensation, including equity and non-equity based compensation.
The compensation plans under which the grants in the following tables were made are generally
described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, beginning on page 11 of this proxy
statement, and include the AAIP, a non-equity incentive plan, and the Incentive Plan, which
provides for, among other things, restricted stock grants.

Bonus amounts represent additional
variable compensation awarded by the Compensation Committee in excess of the
amounts earned and awarded under the AAIP. |
|
2 |
|
The amounts in this column represent the
dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with
respect to 2006 for the fair value of restricted stock granted in 2006 as well
as prior years, in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Pursuant to SEC rules, the
amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to
service-based vesting conditions. For restricted stock, fair value is
calculated using the closing price of Administaffs Common Stock on the
date of grant. For additional information, refer to Note 9, Employee
Incentive Plans, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Administaffs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2007. See the Grants of
Plan-Based Awards Table on page 19 for information on awards made in 2006.
These amounts do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by
the Named Executive Officer. |

All other compensation includes the
following: Company-provided automobiles; country club memberships; 401(k)
matching contributions; dividends on restricted stock grants; life insurance
(Mr. Sarvadi and Mr. Rawson); costs associated with an executive retreat
(Messrs. Sarvadi, Rawson, Arizpe and Mincks) and the annual Chairmans
incentive trip and associated federal income taxes. The federal income taxes
associated with the Chairmans incentive trip paid by the Company on
behalf of the executives were as follows: Mr. Sarvadi, Mr. Arizpe, Mr. Mincks,
and Mr. Sharp $3,958; Mr. Rawson $2,481. The 401(k) matching contributions
made by the Company during 2006 for the Named Executive Officers totaled
$13,200 each. Dividends paid to Mr. Arizpe on restricted stock holdings
totaled $10,716. The Company owns an aircraft that is used by its executives
for business and, on occasion, personal travel. In the instances where the
aircraft is used for personal travel, the executive is required to reimburse
the Company for the associated incremental costs. The incremental cost for
personal use of Company aircraft is calculated as an hourly rate that takes
into account variable costs incurred as a result of the personal flight
activity, including fuel, communications and travel expenses for the flight
crew. It excludes non-variable costs, such as regularly scheduled inspections
and maintenance that would have been incurred regardless of whether there was
any personal use of the aircraft. During 2006, Mr. Sarvadi and Mr. Rawson
reimbursed the Company $123,636 and $48,781, respectively, for personal travel
costs. |

vesting and the payment of dividends on all unvested shares. Executives are
required to pay the par value ($0.01) of each share at or near the date of
grant. |

The Administaff Nonqualified Stock

material features of the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, see Note 9 in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Although there are approximately
637,000 unissued shares in the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, pursuant to

shares of Common Stock are purchased by the ESPP. Participants may enroll,
change or discontinue payroll deductions at any time. The Company pays all
expenses of the ESPP other than brokerage commissions for sales. The ESPP was
not approved by stockholders, and does not include a limitation on the number
of shares that may be issued thereunder. |

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL
We have no employment agreements with any of our executive officers or employees and no
severance policy. Our incentive plans provide that upon termination due to disability or death,
stock option holders, other than directors, have up to one year to exercise vested stock options,
and upon termination due to any other reason, other than for cause, they have up to three months
to exercise vested stock options, provided they have been in continuous employment since the Award
Date. Directors have up to three years to exercise their options upon termination due to any
reason other than for cause and up to three months upon termination for cause. In 2005, the
Company accelerated the vesting of all stock options and none have been granted since that time;
therefore, there are no unvested outstanding stock options. The incentive plans also provide that
all restricted stock becomes immediately fully vested upon a change in control or upon termination
due to disability or death, provided the holder has been in continuous employment since the Award
Date. Unvested shares of restricted stock are forfeited upon termination for any reason other
than disability or death. The number of shares and market value of the restricted stock that
would automatically vest for each Named Executive Officer upon a change of control, based on the
closing price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2006, is set forth in the Outstanding Equity
Awards at Fiscal Year-End table on page 20 of this proxy statement, under the captions Number of
Shares or Units of Stock That Have Not Vested and Market Value of Shares or Units of Stock That
Have Not Vested.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation
Committee periodically reviews the compensation of the Board of Directors and, from time to time,
recommends changes thereto to the full Board of Directors. The Company uses a combination of cash
and stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board of
Directors. Non-employee directors of the Company are compensated as shown in the table below.
Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for serving on the
Board of Directors.

These fees are also paid to the Chairman for meetings attended with the Companys
management or auditors between regular meetings. |
Each outside director is also reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in serving as a
director. All compensation, except for reimbursement of actual expenses, can be taken in cash or
Common Stock, at the directors option.
Pursuant to the Companys Incentive Plan, each person who is initially appointed or elected as
a director of the Company receives a grant of shares of restricted Common Stock on the date of
election or appointment with an aggregate fair market value, determined the date prior to the date
of grant, of $75,000, rounded up to the next higher whole share amount in the case of a fractional
share amount, and such restricted Common Stock vests as to one-third of the shares on each
anniversary of its grant date. If a director terminates his or her service as a member of the
Board, his or her unvested portion of such restricted stock award, if any, shall terminate
immediately on such termination date, unless such termination of service is due to death or
disability, in which event the unvested portion of such restricted stock award shall become
immediately 100% vested on such termination date.
In addition, each non-employee director receives on the date of each annual meeting of the
Companys stockholders (unless first elected or appointed at such meeting), a grant of shares of
Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value, determined the date prior to the date of grant,
of $50,000, or each non-employee director may elect to receive an immediately vested and
exercisable option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock which has an aggregate value,
determined the
22
date prior to the date of grant, of $50,000, calculated using the valuation methodology most
recently utilized by the Company for purposes of financial statement reporting. Either award will
be rounded up to the next higher whole share amount in the case of a fractional share amount.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act),
requires the Companys directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Common
Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4, and 5)
of Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange.
Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by Securities and Exchange
Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms that they file.
Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written
representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all Section 16(a)
reports with respect to the year ended December 31, 2006, applicable to its officers, directors and
greater than 10% beneficial owners, were timely filed except for Mr. Rawson who had two late
filings.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee has adopted a statement of policy and
procedures with respect to related party transactions covering the review, approval or ratification
of transactions involving the Company and Related Parties (generally, directors and executive
officers and their immediate family members and 5% stockholders). The policy covers transactions
in which the Company and any Related Party is a participant in which a Related Party has a material
interest, other than transactions involving less than $50,000 when aggregated with all similar
transactions. The policy generally requires that such transactions be approved by the Finance,
Risk Management and Audit Committee in advance of the consummation or material amendment of the
transaction. Under the policy, prior to entering into a related party transaction, full disclosure
of all of the facts and circumstances relating to the transaction must be made to the Finance, Risk
Management and Audit Committee, which will approve such transaction only if it is in, or is not
inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In the event a
transaction is not identified as a related party transaction in advance, it will be submitted
promptly to the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee or the Chair thereof, and such
committee or Chair, as the case may be will evaluate the transaction and evaluate all options,
including but not limited to ratification, amendment or termination of the transaction.
A significant component of our marketing strategy is the title sponsorship of the Administaff
Small Business Classic (Administaff Classic), a Champions PGA tour event held annually in
Houston, Texas. Consistent with other PGA golf tournaments, the Administaff Classic benefits and
is managed by a non-profit organization. The Administaff Classic is managed by Augusta Pines, Inc.
(Augusta), a non-profit organization. In connection with the Companys sponsorship, Mr. Jay E.
Mincks, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, was elected Chairman of Augusta. During
2006, the Company paid Augusta $2.5 million in sponsorship and tournament related expenses, as well
as an additional $255,000 in other event sponsorships and charitable contributions.
24
The Company provides PEO-related services to certain entities that are owned by, or have board
members that are, Related Parties. These Related Parties include Mr. Paul J. Sarvadi, Mr. Richard
G. Rawson, Mr. Jay E. Mincks, and Mr. Jack M. Fields, Jr. or members of their families. The PEO
service fees paid by such entities are at amounts that are within the pricing range of other
unrelated clients of the Company.
We made charitable contributions to non-profits for which certain Related Parties serve as
board members. These Related Parties include: Mr. Paul J. Sarvadi, Mr. Richard G. Rawson and Mr.
Jay E. Mincks.
PROPOSAL NUMBER 2:
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
General
The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee has appointed the firm of Ernst & Young LLP
as the Companys independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2007, subject to
ratification by the Companys stockholders. Ernst & Young has served as the Companys independent
public accountants since 1991. Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to
do so, and to respond to appropriate questions from those attending the meeting.
Fees of Ernst & Young LLP
Ernst & Youngs fees for professional services totaled $1,052,322 for 2006 and $1,019,052 for
2005. During 2006 and 2005, Ernst & Youngs fees for professional services included the following:
|
|
|
Audit Fees fees for audit services, which relate to the consolidated
audit, internal control audit in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404,
quarterly reviews, subsidiary audits and related matters were $838,963 in 2006
and $827,770 in 2005. |
|
|
|
|
Audit-Related Fees fees for audit-related services, which consisted
primarily of the SAS 70 report, the retirement plan audits, and quarterly
agreed-upon procedures were $210,959 in 2006 and $188,882 in 2005. |
|
|
|
|
Tax Fees there were no fees for tax services in 2006 or in 2005. |
|
|
|
|
All Other Fees there were fees for other services of $2,400 in 2006 and in 2005. |
The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee reviewed the non-audit services provided
to the Company and considered whether Ernst & Youngs provision of such services was compatible
with maintaining its independence.
Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services
The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee has established a policy that requires
pre-approval of the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor. Unless a
service proposed to be provided by the independent auditor has been pre-approved by the Finance,
Risk Management and Audit Committee under its pre-approval policies and procedures, it will require
specific pre-approval of the engagement terms by the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee.
Under the policy, pre-approved service categories are generally provided for up to 12 months and
must be detailed as to the particular services provided and sufficiently specific and objective so
that no judgments by management are required to determine whether a specific service falls within
the scope of what has been pre-approved. In connection with any pre-approval of services, the
independent auditor is required to provide detailed back-up documentation concerning the specific
services to be provided.
The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or
more of its members, including a subcommittee of the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee.
The member or members to
25
whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval actions taken by them to the
Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Finance, Risk
Management and Audit Committee does not delegate to management any of its responsibilities to
pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor.
None of the services related to the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees or Other Fees described above
was approved by the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee pursuant to the waiver of
pre-approval provisions set forth in applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Required Affirmative Vote
If the votes cast in person or by proxy at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in favor of
this proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the proposal, the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as
the Companys independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2007, will be
ratified. If the appointment of Ernst & Young is not ratified, the Finance, Risk Management and
Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE FINANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT
STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANYS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Delivery of Proxy Statement
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and
intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with
respect to two or more security holders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy
statement addressed to those security holders. This process, which is commonly referred to as
householding, potentially means extra convenience for securityholders and cost savings for
companies. This year, a number of brokers with accountholders who are Administaff stockholders
will be householding the Companys proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to
multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the
affected stockholder. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be
householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified
otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in
householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker or
direct your written request to Administaff, Inc., Attention: Ruth Holub, Investor Relations
Specialist, 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339 or contact Ruth Holub at
800-237-3170. The Company will promptly deliver a separate copy to you upon request.
Stockholder Proposals for 2007 Meeting
In order for director nominations and stockholder proposals to have been properly submitted
for presentation at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, notice must have been received by the
Company between the dates of October 28, 2006, and November 27, 2006. The Company received no such
notice, and no stockholder director nominations or proposals will be presented at the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders.
Stockholder Proposals for 2008 Proxy Statement
Any proposal of a stockholder intended to be considered for inclusion in the Companys proxy
statement for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received at the Companys principal
executive offices no later than the close of business on November 29, 2007.
Advance Notice Required for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
The Bylaws of the Company require timely advance written notice of stockholder nominations of
director candidates and of any other proposals to be presented at an annual meeting of
stockholders. Notice will be considered timely for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held
in 2008 if it is received not later than the close of business on November 29, 2007, and not
earlier than the close of business on October 30, 2007. In addition, the Bylaws require that such
written notice set forth: (a) for each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations
of proxies for election of directors, or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation
14A under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, such persons written consent to be
named in the proxy
26
statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; and, (b) as to such stockholder:
(i) the name and address, as they appear on the Companys books, of such stockholder; (ii) the
class and number of shares of the Companys capital stock that are beneficially owned by such
stockholder; and, (iii) a description of all agreements, arrangements or understandings between
such stockholder and each such person that such stockholder proposes to nominate as a director and
any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or
nominations are to be made by such stockholder.
In the case of other proposals by stockholders at an annual meeting, the Bylaws require that
such written notice set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the
annual meeting: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual
meeting; (b) the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (c) the name and
address, as they appear on the Companys books, of such stockholder; (d) the class and number of
shares of the Companys stock which are beneficially owned by such stockholder; and (e) any
material interest of such stockholder in such business.
