Change in Directors or Principal Officers
(e) At its meeting on July 29, 2009, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of Carpenter Technology Corporation (the "Company"), which functions as the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, finalized fiscal year 2010 compensation packages for several executives of the Company, including the executives who constitute the Company's Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") for fiscal year 2009 and continue as executives of the Company. (Dr. Sunil Widge, the Company's former Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, retired from the Company on January 31, 2009, and is no longer an executive or employee of the Company.) The compensation arrangements were made effective as of July 29, 2009, and are summarized in tables and related discussion below by major component categories for each NEO.
The determinations made by the Committee reflect its review and consideration of individual and Company performance, assigned responsibilities of the executives, competitive market data, and other relevant factors customarily considered by the Committee as part of its executive compensation processes. With respect to the equity components of the compensation packages described in Sections C, D and E below, the overall dollar value used by the Committee to establish the number of stock units and stock options that may be earned by NEOs is the same as the dollar value used by the Committee for fiscal year 2009 under the Company's stock-based incentive compensation plan for executives. The number of stock units and stock options reflect the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the Committee's action.
A. Base Salaries The following table sets forth the fiscal year 2010 base salary of the Company's NEOs: Name and Position Fiscal Year 2010 Base Salary Anne L.

B. Incentive Cash Compensation Potential
The Committee set performance goals and opportunities for potential cash bonuses under the Company's Executive Bonus Compensation Plan (EBCP) for the 2010 fiscal year. The Committee established corporate performance goals for free cash flow, operating income, on-time delivery and safety objectives as the key measures for fiscal year 2010 under the EBCP. The performance goals reflect a performance range beginning at a threshold level, progressing to a target level and ending at a maximum level. Incentive plan payment opportunity levels vary among the executives. The following table shows the percentages of base salary that each NEO could earn in fiscal year 2010 upon achievement of the performance goals at the established threshold, target and maximum performance ranges established under the EBCP:

C. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Potential - Performance Stock Units
The Committee set performance goals and opportunities under the Company's stock-based incentive compensation plan for the 2010 fiscal year. The Committee established two categories of performance goals to earn stock unit awards under that plan, as follows: (1) three-year performance goals based upon total shareholder return ("TSR") goals ("Category 1"); and (2) one-year performance goals based upon earnings per share ("EPS") ("Category 2"). The performance goals for both Category 1 and Category 2 reflect a performance range beginning at a threshold level, progressing to a target level and ending with a maximum level. If earned in accordance with applicable performance requirements, Category 1 stock units will vest immediately upon grant at the end of the three-year performance measuring period, and Category 2 stock units will vest one-half on each of the first and second anniversary dates of their grant at the end of the one-year performance measuring period.
The following table shows the number of stock units that each NEO could earn upon achievement of the applicable performance goals at the established threshold (50%), target (100%) and maximum (200%) performance levels:
