InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[The Count]

Nice to see the comp committee exercise restraint

IDCC, along with most other public companies, have a long tradition of rewarding mediocrity with the "free" shares. I am very pleased to see that there was no recalibrating of the goals or other massaging of the LTCP to pass out RSUs for 2009. I think the company did have a good year with the glaring exception of Nokia, so I think the year end cash bonuses are reasonable and justified. Let's hope there is good reason for granting the RSUs in 2010.
