Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Enclosed are the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement for ITT’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This year’s meeting is intended to address only the business included on the agenda. Details of the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are given in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, which provides information required by applicable laws and regulations.

Your vote is important and we encourage you to vote whether you are a registered owner or a beneficial owner.

This year, in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are again using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Because we are using the Internet, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these shareholders a notice with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet. This notice also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe use of the Internet makes the proxy distribution process more efficient, less costly and helps in conserving natural resources.

If you are the registered owner of ITT common stock, you may vote your shares by making a toll-free telephone call or using the Internet. Details of these voting options are explained in the Proxy Statement. If you choose to receive paper copies of our proxy materials, you can vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card by mail as soon as possible.

If you are a beneficial owner and someone else, such as your bank, broker or trustee is the owner of record, the owner of record will communicate with you about how to vote your shares.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote as soon as possible. If you are a registered owner of ITT common stock and do not plan to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you may vote via the Internet, by telephone or, if you receive a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing the completed proxy card. Voting by any of these methods will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting. Your vote is important.

Sincerely,

2012 Proxy Statement

Why did I receive these proxy materials?    Beginning on or about March 27, 2012, this Proxy Statement is being mailed or made available, as the case may be, to shareholders who were shareholders as of the March 16, 2012, record date, as part of the Board of Directors’ solicitation of proxies for ITT’s 2012 Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and ITT’s 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K (which have been furnished to shareholders eligible to vote at the 2012 Annual Meeting) contain information that the Board of Directors believes offers an informed view of ITT Corporation (herein referred to as “ITT” or the “Company”) and meets the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for proxy solicitations.

Who is entitled to vote?    You can vote if you owned shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on March 16, 2012, the record date.

What items of business will I be voting on?    You are voting on the following items of business, which are described on pages 8 to 23:

1.Election of the 10 nominees named in the attached Proxy Statement as members of the Board of Directors.

2.Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as ITT’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2012.

3.Approval, in a non-binding vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”).

4.To vote on a shareholder proposal requesting that the Company change its state of incorporation from Indiana to Delaware.

5.To vote on a shareholder proposal requesting that the Company adopt a policy that, whenever possible, the Chairman of the Board of Directors be an independent director who has not previously served as an executive officer of the Company.

6.To vote on a shareholder proposal requesting that the Company amend, where applicable, its policies related to human rights.

7.To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

Information about Voting

How do I vote?    If you are a registered owner, you can either vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in a bank or brokerage account, you will need to obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from your bank or broker to be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held through any of the ITT savings plans for salaried or hourly employees, your shares cannot be voted in person at the Annual Meeting.

What are the proxy voting procedures?    If you vote by proxy, you can vote by following the voting procedures on the proxy card. You may vote:

Ÿ

By the Internet,

Ÿ

By Telephone, by calling from the United States, or

Ÿ

By Mail.

Why does the Board solicit proxies from shareholders?     Since it is impractical for all shareholders to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, the Board of Directors recommends that you appoint the three people named on the accompanying proxy card to act as your proxies at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

How do the proxies vote?    The proxies vote your shares in accordance with your voting instructions. If you appoint the proxies but do not provide voting instructions, they will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors. If any other matters not described in this Proxy Statement are properly brought before the meeting for a vote, the proxies will use their discretion in deciding how to vote on those matters.

How many votes do I have?    You have one vote for every share of ITT common stock that you own.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?     The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the nominees of the Board of Directors (Item 1), FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as ITT’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2012 (Item 2), FOR the approval of the compensation of our NEOs (Item 3), AGAINST the shareholder proposal requesting that the Company change its state of incorporation from Indiana to Delaware (Item 4), AGAINST the shareholder proposal requesting that the Company adopt a policy that, whenever possible, the Chairman of the Board of Directors be an independent director who has not previously served as an executive officer of the Company (Item 5) and AGAINST the shareholder proposal requesting that the Company amend, where applicable, its policies related to human rights (Item 6).

What if I change my mind?    You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by mailing a new proxy card with a later date or casting a new vote by the Internet or telephone, as applicable. You can also send a written revocation to the Secretary at the address listed on the first page of the Proxy Statement. If you come to the Annual Meeting, you can ask that the proxy you submitted earlier not be used.

What is a “broker non-vote”?    The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of listed company stock held in brokerage accounts for their clients who beneficially own the shares. Under these rules, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on certain matters (“discretionary matters”) but do not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares as to certain other matters (“non-discretionary matters”). A broker may return a proxy card on behalf of a beneficial owner from whom the broker has not received instructions that casts a vote with regard to discretionary matters but expressly states that the broker is not voting as to non-discretionary matters. The broker’s inability to vote with respect to the non-discretionary matters to which the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Under current NYSE interpretations, agenda Item 2, the ratification of Deloitte as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm is considered a discretionary item. Your broker does not have discretion to vote your shares held in street name on Items 1, 3, 4, 5 or 6, each of which is considered a non-discretionary item. Under Indiana law, the law of the state where the Company is incorporated, broker non-votes and abstentions are counted to determine whether there is a quorum present.

There are six formal items, including the shareholder proposals, scheduled to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting as described on page 1. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any business other than as described in this Proxy Statement that will be presented for a vote at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

How many votes are required to elect Directors or approve a proposal? How many votes are required for an agenda item to pass?    The Restated Articles of Incorporation of ITT Corporation authorize the Company’s By-laws to provide for majority voting for Directors in uncontested elections, and such By-laws further provide that in uncontested elections, a Director nominee shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast. The By-laws provide that in uncontested elections, any Director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority, but who also is a Director at the time, shall promptly provide a written resignation, as a holdover Director, to the Chairman of the Board or the Secretary. The Nominating and Governance Committee (or the equivalent committee then in existence) shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning any vote and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation no later than its next regularly

scheduled Board meeting or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier, and the Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision. This means that in an uncontested election, to be elected as a Director of ITT, each of the 10 director candidates must receive a majority of votes cast.

Item 2, Item 3, Item 4, Item 5 and Item 6 of the proposed agenda items require that the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Item 2, Item 3, Item 4, Item 5 and Item 6 are advisory in nature and are non-binding. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcomes of Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, Item 4, Item 5 or Item 6. In addition, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcomes of Item 1, Item 3, Item 4, Item 5 or Item 6.

How many shares of ITT stock are outstanding?    As of March 16, 2012, the record date, 95,462,363 shares of ITT common stock were outstanding.

How many holders of ITT outstanding shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?    In order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting, it is necessary to have a quorum. To have a quorum, shareholders entitled to cast a majority of votes at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or by proxy.

How do I vote?    With respect to agenda Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, you may vote for, against or abstain from voting.

What is the difference between a beneficial owner and a registered owner?    If shares you own are held in an ITT savings plan for salaried or hourly employees, a stock brokerage account, bank or by another holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” because someone else holds the shares on your behalf. If the shares you own are held in a Morgan Stanley Smith Barney account for restricted shares or registered in your name directly with The Bank of New York Mellon, our transfer agent, you are the registered owner and the “shareholder of record.”

How do I vote if I am a participant in ITT’s savings plans for salaried or hourly employees?    If you participate in any of the ITT savings plans for salaried or hourly employees, your plan trustee will vote the ITT shares credited to your savings plan account in accordance with your voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. The trustee votes the shares on your behalf because you are the beneficial owner, not the shareholder of record, of the savings plan shares. The trustee votes the savings plan shares for which no voting instructions are received (“Undirected Shares”) in the same proportion as the shares for which the trustee receives voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with ERISA. Under the savings plans, participants are “named fiduciaries” to the extent of their authority to direct the voting of ITT shares credited to their savings plan accounts and their proportionate share of Undirected Shares. By submitting voting instructions by telephone, the Internet or by signing and returning the voting instruction card, you direct the trustee of the savings plans to vote these shares, in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. ITT salaried or hourly plan participants should mail their confidential voting instruction card to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), acting as tabulation agent, or vote by telephone or Internet. Instructions must be received by Broadridge no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 3, 2012.

I participate in the ITT savings plan for salaried employees and am a shareholder of record of shares of ITT common stock. How many proxy cards will I receive?    You will receive only one proxy card. Your savings plan shares and any shares you own as the shareholder of record, including ownership through the ITT Direct Purchase, Sale and Dividend Reinvestment Plan, will be set out separately on the proxy card.

How many shares are held by participants in the ITT employee savings plans? As of March 16, 2012, record date, J.P. Morgan Chase, as the trustee for both the employee salaried savings plan and the hourly employee savings plans, held 400,507 shares of ITT common stock (approximately 0.42% of the outstanding shares) for the salaried plan, and 87,684 shares of ITT common stock (approximately 0.09% of the outstanding shares) for the hourly plans.

Who counts the votes? Is my vote confidential? Representatives of Broadridge count the votes. Representatives of Broadridge will act as Inspectors of Election for the 2012 Annual Meeting. The Inspectors of Election monitor the voting and certify whether the votes of shareholders are kept in confidence in compliance with ITT’s confidential voting policy.

Who pays for the proxy solicitation cost?     ITT pays the cost of soliciting proxies from registered owners. ITT has appointed Innisfree M&A Incorporated to help with the solicitation effort. ITT will pay Innisfree M&A Incorporated a fee of $25,000 to assist with the solicitation and reimburse brokers, nominees, custodians and other fiduciaries for their costs in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Who solicits proxies? Directors, officers or other regular employees of ITT may solicit proxies from shareholders in person or by telephone, facsimile transmission or other electronic communication.

How does a shareholder submit a proposal for the 2013 Annual Meeting?     Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act,” establishes the eligibility requirements and the procedures that must be followed for a shareholder proposal to be included in a public company’s proxy materials. Under the rule, if a shareholder wants to include a proposal in ITT’s proxy materials for its next Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by ITT at its principal executive offices on or before November 27, 2012, and comply with eligibility requirements and procedures. An ITT shareholder who wants to present a matter for action at ITT’s next Annual Meeting, but chooses not to do so under Exchange Act Rule 14a-8, must deliver to ITT, at its principal executive offices, on or before November 27, 2012, a written notice to that effect; provided, however, in the event that the date of the 2013 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2012 Annual Meeting, such notice must be received not later than 120 days calendar days prior to the 2013 Annual Meeting or 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In either case, as well as for shareholder nominations for Directors, the shareholder must also comply with the requirements in the Company’s By-laws with respect to a shareholder properly bringing business before the Annual Meeting. (You can request a copy of the By-laws from the Secretary of ITT.)

Can a shareholder nominate Director Candidates?     The Company’s By-laws permit shareholders to nominate Directors and present other business for consideration at the Annual Meeting. To make a Director nomination or present other business for consideration at the 2013 Annual Meeting, you must submit a timely notice in accordance with the procedures described in the Company’s By-laws. To be timely, notice of Director nomination or any other business for consideration at the annual meeting must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices no less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date we released our proxy statement to shareholders in connection with last year’s annual meeting. Therefore, to be presented at our 2013 Annual Meeting, such a proposal must be received on or after November 27, 2012, but not later than December 27, 2012. The nomination and notice must meet all other qualifications and requirements of the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles and Charters (the “Corporate Governance Principles”), By-laws and Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. The nominee will be evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board using the same standards as it uses for all Director nominees. These standards are discussed in further detail below at Pages 26 to 27 under “Information about the Board of Directors-Director Selection and Composition.” No one may be nominated for election as a Director after he or she has reached 72 years of age. (You can request a copy of the nomination requirements from the Secretary of ITT.)

Householding of Proxy Materials

SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding”, provides cost savings for companies. Some

brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials 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 or notice, please notify your broker. You can request prompt delivery of a copy of the Proxy Materials by writing to: Elizabeth O’Driscoll, Manager, Stock Administration, ITT Corporation, 1133 Westchester Ave., White Plains, NY 10604, by email at Elizabeth.O’Driscoll@itt.com or by calling 914-641-2000.

We make available, free of charge on our website, all of our filings that are made electronically with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. To access these filings, go to our website (www.itt.com) and click on “SEC Filings” under the “Investors” heading. Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, including financial statements and schedules thereto, filed with the SEC, are also available without charge to shareholders upon written request addressed to:

How do I get admitted to the Annual Meeting?    Only shareholders of record or beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) as of March 24, 2014 may attend the Annual Meeting in person.

We encourage you to vote your proxy as soon as possible, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, but please keep the admission ticket and bring it with you to the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held beneficially in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record, you must present proof of your ownership of Common Stock, such as a bank or brokerage account statement, to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. Please note that if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person and would like to vote there, you will need to bring a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other holder of record as explained below.

Information about Voting

How do I vote?    Shareholders may vote using any of the following methods:

By telephone or on the Internet

You can vote by calling the toll-free telephone number on your Proxy Card or Notice. Please have your Proxy Card or Notice handy when you call. Easy-to-follow voice prompts allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

The website for Internet voting iswww.proxyvote.com. Please have your Proxy Card or Notice handy when you go online. As with telephone voting, you can confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote on the Internet, you also can request electronic delivery of future proxy materials.

Telephone and Internet voting facilities for shareholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 19, 2014. The availability of telephone and Internet voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting processes of your broker, bank or other holder of record. Therefore, the Company recommends that you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive.

If you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you do not need to return your Proxy Card.

By mail

If you received your Annual Meeting materials by mail, you may complete, sign and date the Proxy Card or voting instruction card and return it in the prepaid envelope. If you are a shareholder of record and you return your signed Proxy Card but do not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named in the Proxy Card will vote the shares represented by that proxy as recommended by the Board of Directors.

In person at the Annual Meeting

All shareholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. You may also be represented by another person at the Annual Meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other holder of record and present it to the inspectors of election with your ballot to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible, even if you intend to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

By granting a proxy or submitting voting instructions

You may vote by granting a proxy or, for shares held in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your bank, broker or other holder of record.

How many votes do I have?    You have one vote for every share of ITT common stock that you own.

Why does the Board solicit proxies from shareholders?    Since it is impractical for all shareholders to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, the Board of Directors recommends that you appoint the three people named on the accompanying proxy card to act as your proxies at the Annual Meeting.

How will my shares be voted at the Annual Meeting?    At the Annual Meeting, the people named on the accompanying proxy card (or if applicable, their substitutes), will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign your Proxy Card and return it without indicating how you would like to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as the Board of Directors recommends, which is:

1.FOR the election of the nine nominees nominated to the Board of Directors and named in this Proxy Statement, to serve until the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified;

2.FOR the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year;

3.FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers;

4.AGAINST the shareholder proposal; and

5.Otherwise in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxy on any other matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

What if I change my mind?    As a holder of record of our Common Stock, you may revoke or change your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by filing a notice of revocation or another signed, later-dated Proxy Card with the Corporate Secretary of the Company, at the Company’s principal executive offices as listed on the first page of this Proxy Statement. You may also revoke your proxy by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. If you are a beneficial holder of our Common Stock, you should follow the voting directions you will receive—along with the Company’s proxy solicitation materials—from your broker, bank or other custodian. As previously noted, you will need a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other custodian if you prefer to cast your vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

How many shares of ITT stock are outstanding?    As of March 24, 2014, the record date, 91,656,172 shares of ITT common stock were outstanding.

How many holders of ITT outstanding shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?    In order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting, it is necessary to have a quorum. To have a quorum, shareholders entitled to cast a majority of votes at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or by proxy. The inspectors of election appointed for the Annual Meeting will separately tabulate all affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and “broker non-votes.” Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.

What is the difference between a beneficial owner and a registered owner?    If your shares are registered in your name with ITT’s transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareholder Services, you are the “shareholder of record” of those shares.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares, and this Proxy Statement and any accompanying documents have been provided to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card or by following their instructions for accessingvoting by telephone or on the Internet.

What is a “broker non-vote”?    If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a “broker non-vote.” In these cases, the broker can register your shares as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, your broker has discretionary voting authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on the ratification of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. However, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the election of directors, the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers or the shareholder proposal without instructions from you, in which case a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on these matters.

If you hold shares of ITT Common Stock through a broker, bank or other organization with custody of your shares, follow the voting instructions you receive from that organization.

How many votes are required to elect Directors? How many votes are required for other agenda items to pass?

Election of Directors.    The Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”) provide that in uncontested elections, a director nominee shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. A “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast with respect to that director). The By-laws further provide that in uncontested elections, any director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority, but who also is a director at the time, shall promptly provide a written resignation, as a holdover director, to the Chairman of the Board or the Corporate Secretary, and remain a director until a successor is elected and qualified. The Nominating and Governance Committee (or the equivalent committee then in existence) shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning any vote and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. After consideration, the Nominating and Governance Committee (or the equivalent committee then in existence) shall make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation no later than its next regularly scheduled Board meeting or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier, and the Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision. As discussed above, brokers (and the many banks and other record holders of “street name” shares that follow the applicable NYSE voting rules for member brokers) do not have discretionary voting power with respect to director elections unless they have customer voting instructions. This means that, without your voting instructions on this matter, a broker non-vote will occur because your broker (or bank or other custodian) does not have the power to vote your shares on the election of directors. As a result, it is very important that you return voting instructions relating to the election of directors to your broker, bank or other custodian.

All Other Matters.    The proposal ratifying the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the proposal to conduct an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and the shareholder proposal each require that the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. The proposals relating to the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and the shareholder proposal are each advisory in nature and nonbinding. If you abstain from voting or if there is a broker non-vote on any matter, your abstention or broker non-vote will not affect the outcome of such vote, because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast.

There are four formal items scheduled to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting as described in the Notice of 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, there are no other matters that the Board of Directors intends to present, or has reason to believe others will present, at the Annual Meeting. If you have returned your signed and completed Proxy Card and other matters are properly presented for voting at the Annual Meeting, the people named on the accompanying proxy card (or if applicable, their substitutes), will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

How do I vote if I am a participant in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan?    If you participate in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, your plan trustee will vote the ITT shares credited to your ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan account in accordance with your voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The trustee will vote the shares on your behalf because you are the beneficial owner, not the shareholder of record, of the shares held by the ITT Corporation

Retirement Savings Plan. The trustee votes the shares held in your ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan account for which no voting instructions are received (“Undirected Shares”) in the same proportion as the shares for which the trustee receives voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with ERISA. Under the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, participants are “named fiduciaries” to the extent of their authority to direct the voting of ITT shares credited to their savings plan accounts and their proportionate share of Undirected Shares. By submitting voting instructions by telephone, the Internet or by signing and returning the voting instruction card, you direct the trustee of the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan to vote these shares, in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan participants should mail their confidential voting instruction card to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), acting as tabulation agent, or vote by telephone or Internet. Instructions must be received by Broadridge no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 15, 2014.

How many shares are held by participants in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan?    As of March 24, 2014, the record date, the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan held 543,039 shares of ITT common stock (approximately 0.59% of the outstanding shares). J.P. Morgan Chase is trustee of the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan.

Who counts the votes? Is my vote confidential?    In accordance with the By-laws, the Company will appoint two Inspectors of Election, who may be officers or employees of the Company, and they will tabulate the votes. The Inspectors of Election monitor the voting and also certify whether the votes of shareholders are kept in confidence in compliance with ITT’s confidential voting policy.

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?    ITT will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by our directors, officers or employees in person or by telephone, mail, electronic transmission and/or facsimile transmission. Innisfree M&A Incorporated, 501 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022, has been retained to assist in soliciting proxies for a fee of $12,500, plus distribution costs and other costs and expenses.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?    The Company has adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, beneficial shareholders who have the same address and last name and who do not participate in electronic delivery or Internet access of proxy materials will receive only one copy of the Company’s Annual Report and Proxy Statement unless one or more of these shareholders notifies the Company that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and processing costs, as well as natural resources. Each shareholder who participates in householding will continue to receive a separate Proxy Card or Notice. Your consent to householding is perpetual unless you withhold or revoke it. You may revoke your consent at any time by contacting Broadridge, either by calling toll-free at (800) 542-1061, or by writing to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. You will be removed from the householding program within 30 days of receipt of your response, after which you will receive an individual copy of the proxy materials, including our proxy statement and annual report, and voting via the Internet. The Noticematerials.

Why did I receive a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies ofMaterials” but no proxy materials?    We distribute our proxy materials if they so choose.to certain shareholders via the Internet under the “Notice and Access” approach permitted by rules of the SEC. This approach conserves natural resources and reduces our costs of printing and distributing the proxy materials, while providing a convenient method of accessing the materials and voting to shareholders. On March 31, 2014, we mailed a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” to participating shareholders, containing instructions on how to access the proxy materials on the Internet.

Stock Ownership InformationHow do I receive proxy materials electronically in the future?    This Proxy Statement and the 2013 Annual Report are available online atwww.proxydocs.com/itt. Instead of receiving future proxy statements and accompanying materials by mail, most shareholders can elect to receive an e-mail that will provide electronic links to them. Opting to receive your proxy materials online will conserve

natural resources and will save us the cost of producing documents and mailing them to you, and will also give you an electronic link to the proxy voting site.

Proposals to be Voted on at the 2012 Annual Meeting

 

Item 1.    ElectionElection of Directors

TheNine members of our Board are standing for re-election, to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Directors has nominated 10 individualsShareholders. Each director must be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. A “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast with respect to that director). In a contested election for director (an election in which the number of nominees for election as Directorsdirector is greater than the number of directors to be elected), the vote standard would be a plurality of votes cast.

In accordance with our Corporate Governance Principles, the Board will nominate for election or re-election as a director only candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their failure to receive the required vote for election or re-election at a meeting in which they would face election or re-election, an irrevocable resignation that will be effective upon acceptance by the Board. In addition, the Board will fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender the same form of resignation promptly following their appointment to the Board.

If an incumbent director fails to receive the required vote for re-election and submits his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board or the Corporate Secretary, then the Nominating and Governance Committee (or the equivalent committee then in existence) shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning any vote and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board will act on the Committee’s recommendation no later than its next regularly scheduled Board meeting or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier, and the Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision.

Each nominee elected as a director will continue in office until the earlier of the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, his or her successor having been duly elected and qualified, or his or her death, resignation or removal.

The nine nominees for election to the Board in 2014 have agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that such nominees will be unavailable to serve. In the event that any of the nominees is unable or declines to serve as a director at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee pre-approves audit services provided by Deloitte. The Audit Committee has also adopted a policy on pre-approval of permitted non-audit services provided by Deloitte and certain permitted non-audit services provided by outside internal audit service providers.Deloitte. The purpose of the policy is to identify thresholds for services, project amounts and circumstances where Deloitte and any outside internal audit service providers may perform permitted non-audit services. A second level of review and approval by the Audit Committee is required when such permitted non-audit services, project amounts or circumstances exceed the specified amounts.

The Audit Committee has determined that, where practical, all permitted non-audit services shall first be placed for competitive bid prior to selection of a service provider. Management may select the party deemed best suited for the particular engagement, which may or may not be Deloitte. Providers other than Deloitte shall be preferred in the selection process for permitted non-audit service-related work. The policy and its implementation are reviewed and reaffirmed on a regular basis to assure conformance with applicable rules.

The Audit Committee has approved specific categories of audit, audit-related and tax services incremental to the normal auditing function, which Deloitte may provide without further Audit Committee pre-approval. These categories include, among others, the following:

 

1.Due diligence, closing balance sheet audit services, purchase price dispute support and other services related to mergers, acquisitions and divestituresdivestitures;

2.Employee benefit advisory services, independent audits and preparation of tax returns for the Company’s defined contribution, defined benefit, and health and welfare benefit plans, preparation of the associated tax returns or other employee benefit advisory servicesservices;

 

3.Tax compliance and certain tax planning and advice workwork; and

 

4.Accounting consultations and support related to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or government contract compliance.

The Audit Committee has also approved specific categories of audit-related services, including the assessment and review of internal controls and the effectiveness of those controls, which outside internal audit service providers may provide without further approval.

If fees for any pre-approved non-audit services provided by either Deloitte or any outside internal audit service provider exceed a pre-determined threshold during any calendar year, any additional proposed non-audit services provided by that service provider must be submitted for second-level approval by the Audit Committee. Other audit, audit-related and tax services which have not been pre-approved are subject to specific prior approval. The Audit Committee reviews the fees paid or committed to Deloitte onduring regularly scheduled meetings and at least a quarterly basis.other times as necessary.

Item 4.    Shareholder Proposal Regarding Executive Stock Retention Requirements

4.Shareholder proposal requesting that the Company change its state of incorporation from Indiana to Delaware

Mr. John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Ave., No. 205, Redondo Beach, CA 90278, has notified us that he intends to presentsubmitted the following shareholder proposal to us.

The following shareholder proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting if properly presented by or on behalf of the shareholder proponent. Other than minor formatting changes, we are reprinting the proposal and supporting statement as they were submitted to us, and we have not endeavored to correct any erroneous statements or typographical errors contained therein. Share holdings of the shareholder proponent, and where applicable, of co-filers, will be supplied upon request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary. Our Board of Directors has recommended a vote against the proposal for the reasons set forth following the proposal.

“Proposal 4—Executives To Retain Significant Stock

Resolved: Shareholders urge that our executive pay committee adopt a policy requiring senior executives to retain a significant percentage of shares acquired through equity pay programs until reaching normal retirement age and to report to shareholders regarding the policy before our Company’s next annual meeting. For the purpose of this year’s meeting:policy, normal retirement age would be an age of at least 60 and determined by our executive pay committee. Shareholders recommend that the committee adopt a share retention percentage requirement of 50% of net after-tax shares.

4 — Reincorporate In DelawareThis single unified policy shall prohibit hedging transactions for shares subject to this policy which are not sales but reduce the risk of loss to the executive. Otherwise our directors would be able to avoid the impact of this proposal. This policy shall supplement any other share ownership requirements that have been established for senior executives, and should be implemented so as not to violate our Company’s existing contractual obligations or the terms of any pay or benefit plan currently in effect.

Resolved, shareholders urgeRequiring senior executives to hold a significant portion of stock obtained through executive pay plans would focus our board of directors to take the necessary steps (excluding those that may be taken only by shareholders) to changeexecutives on our company’s jurisdiction of incorporation from Indianalong-term success. A Conference Board Task Force report stated that hold-to-retirement requirements give executives “an ever-growing incentive to Delaware.focus on long-term stock price performance.”

Our company is currently incorporated in Indiana. The Indiana Business Corporation Law is less shareholder-friendly than Delaware’s corporation code — especially following recent Indiana amendments — and Delaware incorporation would benefit shareholders. Recent legislation moves Indiana corporate law in the wrong direction, toward greater director entrenchment and away from giving shareholders power over corporate ground rules.Please vote to protect shareholder value:

One example of the advantage of reincorporation in Delaware is that shareholders would have the potential to act by written consent by less than a unanimous vote.

The merit of this reincorporation proposal should also be considered in the context of the opportunity for additional improvement in our company’s 2011 reported corporate governance in order to more fully realize our company’s potential:

The Corporate Library, an independent investment research firm downgraded our company to “D” with “High Governance Risk” and “Very High Concern” in executive pay — $12 million for our CEO Steven Loranger.

Mr. Loranger’s 2010 pension increase came to more than $2.6 million. Two-thirds of long-term executive pay consisted of stock options and restricted stock, both of which simply vest after time.Executives To be effective, equity given to executives for long-term incentive pay should include performance-vesting features. The remaining one-third of long-term executive pay consisted of a target cash

award. Not only did these awards pay out for sub-median performance, but long-term cash awards did nothing to tie executive performance with long-term shareholder value.

Each member (except one) on our Audit and Executive Pay Committees received our highest negative votes of 7% or 8%. Three directors had 13 to 15- years long-tenure-Independence declines as tenure increases.

Please encourage our board to respond positively to this proposal to help initiate improved corporate governance and financial performance:Reincorporate In Delaware — Yes on 4.Retain Significant Stock—Proposal 4”

The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:

ITT’s Board of Directors believes that it is not in the best interest of the Company or its shareholders to change the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation from Indiana to Delaware.

The Company is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance, regardless of the Company’s state of incorporation, and the Board of Directors believes that the Company’s practices reflect this commitment.

Ÿ

We do not have a classified board—all of our directors are elected each year, despite the fact that recent changes to Indiana law would have allowed us to implement a mandatory classified board.

Ÿ

We elect our directors by majority voting in uncontested elections.

Ÿ

We do not have “supermajority” voting for actions requiring shareholder approval.

Ÿ

Our chairman is independent.

Ÿ

We do not have a “poison pill.”

Reincorporation in Delaware is not necessary at this time to implement corporate governance ideals. Consequently, the Board of Directors and its Nominating and Governance Committee have concluded that the perceived benefits that could be obtained from reincorporation in Delaware can also be obtained, without the costs and risks associated with reincorporation, by the Company remaining an Indiana corporation.

The proposal cites as an advantage of reincorporation to Delaware that shareholders would have the potential to act by a less-than-unanimous written consent. ITT’s Board of Directors believes that such a provision permitting shareholder action by less than unanimous written consent is unnecessary in light of the existing ability of 35% of ITT’s shareholders to call special meetings. Furthermore, almost 75% of S&P 500 companies prohibit shareholder action by written consent.

Unlike meetings of shareholders, action by written consent can deny shareholders the ability to vote or otherwise provide any input on proposed shareholder actions. Action by written consent would enable shareholders owning a majority or other percentage of our shares to take action on a proposal without the benefit of the opinions or views of other shareholders. In addition, action by written consent would eliminate the need for notice to be given to shareholders in advance of a proposed action, and therefore, certain shareholders may not be informed about the proposed action until after the action has already been taken. The Board of Directors, therefore, believes that reincorporating to Delaware as a means to obtain the right for shareholders to act by less than unanimous written consent is both unnecessary and contrary to the interests of most shareholders.

We have been an Indiana corporation since our formation in 1995. Reincorporating in Delaware, a state with which ITT Corporation has no substantive historical or existing connection, would be a costly process and would have other adverse consequences to us. Reincorporation may require us to obtain consents from, or provide notices to, third parties under certain of our agreements as well as obtain approvals and consents not only from shareholders but also from governmental and regulatory agencies and lenders. In addition, reincorporation would require us to pay significantly greater state franchise taxes. Reincorporation to Delaware would subject us to an annual franchise tax under

Delaware corporate law; there is no such tax under Indiana law. It would also require us to incur substantial expense conducting a corporate review that would be duplicative of much of the work performed in connection with executing our recently completed Separation of Exelis, its Defense and Information Solutions business, and Xylem, its water-related business. Reincorporation would divert the time and attention of management from normal business operations without any commensurate benefit. The Board believes that ITT’s time and resources should remain focused on assisting the Corporation’s management in its efforts to continue to create value for all shareholders.

Finally, we note that a significant portion of the proponent’s proposal focuses on the compensation we paid to Steven Loranger, our former Chief Executive Officer, and the tenure of members who were previously on our Audit Committee. On October 31, 2011, ITT completed its previously announced Separation. Effective immediately prior to the occurrence of the Separation, Steven R. Loranger resigned as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ITT and a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and management team was put in place at the Company. In addition, Mr. Loranger, Curtis J. Crawford, Director and member of the Audit Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee, John J. Hamre, Director and Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee, and Surya N. Mohapatra, Director and member of the Audit Committee, resigned from the Board. The Separation transaction was completed two weeks before the proponent sent the Company his proposal and significant changes to management and the Board of Directors had already taken place. The concerns that the proponent presented in his proposal were no longer relevant to the Company.

For the reasons cited above, we believe that there are significant advantages for us and our shareholders to remain incorporated in Indiana and that the advantages outweigh any perceived enhancement of shareholder rights that could result from reincorporation in Delaware.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal.

5.Shareholder proposal requesting that the Company adopt a policy that, whenever possible, the Chairman of the Board of Directors be an independent director who has not previously served as an executive officer of the Company

William Steiner, 112 Abbottsford Gate, Piermont, NY 10968, has notified us that he intends to present the following proposal at this year’s meeting:

5 — Independent Board Chairman

RESOLVED: Shareholders request that our board of directors adopt a policy that, whenever possible, the chairman of our board of directors shall be an independent director (by the standard of the New York Stock Exchange), who has not previously served as an executive officer of our Company. This policy should be implemented so as not to violate any contractual obligations in effect when this resolution is adopted. The policy should also specify how to select a new independent chairman if a current chairman ceases to be independent between annual shareholder meetings.

To foster flexibility, this proposal gives the option of being phased in and implemented when our next CEO is chosen.

When a CEO serves as our board chairman, this arrangement can hinder our board’s ability to monitor our CEO’s performance. Many companies already have an independent Chairman. An independent Chairman is the prevailing practice in the United Kingdom and many international markets. This proposal topic won 50%-plus support at four major U.S. companies in 2011. James McRitchie and Kenneth Steiner have sponsored proposals on this topic which received significant votes.

The merit of this Independent Board Chairman proposal should also be considered in the context of the opportunity for additional improvement in our company’s 2011 reported corporate governance in order to more fully realize our company’s potential:

In response to our majority vote in favor of 10% of shareholders to be able to call a special meeting, our company adopted a hamstrung shareholder ability to call a special meeting. This hamstrung shareholder ability required more than 3-times as many shareholders to call a special meeting. The new rule further hamstrung shareholders because it was limited to shareholders who had owned their shares for one-year.

And the new rule made it easy for shareholders to withdraw their request to call a special meeting. Plus the new rule said our “. Board may, in its discretion, cancel the special meeting.”

An independent Chairman policy can improve investor confidence in our Company and strengthen the integrity of our Board. Please encourage our board to respond positively to this proposal for an Independent Board Chairman — Yes on 5.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:

ITT’s Board of Directors believes that it is not in the best interest of the Company or its shareholders to adopt a policy requiring senior executives to retain a significant percentage of stock they receive under our equity compensation program until they reach retirement age.

The Board has carefully considered the proposal and for the reasons set forth below, believes that whenever possible, the Chairmanit is unnecessary in light of the Company’s existing stock ownership guidelines, anti-hedging policy and equity compensation practices. In addition, the Board shall beis concerned that adoption of an independent director (byinflexible policy requiring that our senior executives retain 50% of net after-tax shares until reaching retirement age as requested by the standardproposal would put the Company at a competitive disadvantage in attracting and retaining the highest caliber of executive talent.

As discussed under the heading “Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines” beginning on page 50, our senior executives are already subject to significant stock ownership guidelines. These guidelines are designed to closely align the interests of our senior management with those of our shareholders.

The guidelines specify the desired levels of Company stock ownership and encourage a set of behaviors for each senior executive to reach the guideline levels. The guidelines require share ownership expressed as a multiple of base salary for all members of senior management, including a requirement that our Chief Executive Officer must own shares of the NYSE), whoCompany’s common stock equal to five times his or her annual base salary. To attain the ownership levels set forth in the guidelines, it is expected that any restricted shares that become unrestricted and all shares acquired through the exercise of stock options will be held, except, in all cases, to the extent necessary to meet tax obligations.

The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviews compliance with these guidelines periodically. Currently, all of the Company’s senior executives have fully satisfied or are on track to meet these ownership requirements.

In addition, the Company has a policy that prohibits Company employees from hedging their Company stock through engaging in short sales or transacting in put or call options with respect to Company stock. We believe that this policy, among other things, helps provide assurance that senior executives have a significant economic stake in the performance of the Company’s stock and further focuses them on the creation of long-term shareholder value.

Other aspects of the Company’s current compensation programs also already address the proposal’s stated goal of ensuring that senior executives focus on the Company’s long-term success. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Board believes that our executive compensation programs for both cash and equity are designed to align executive officers’ interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. Further, as shown on page 51, 60% of our CEO’s 2013 total direct compensation was in the form of stock-based awards. These awards are made in the form of stock options, RSUs and performance units, providing a balance between incentives based on stock price appreciation and, in the case of performance units, other Company financial objectives (such as growth in return on invested capital). The Company’s practice of structuring a significant portion of executive compensation in the form of long-term equity not previously servedonly provides a retention tool, but also ties executives’ potential compensation to metrics that are designed to result in enhanced value for shareholders and to ensure that our executives have a vested long-term interest in the Company’s success.

Finally, the Board opposes this proposal because we believe that adopting the policy as anrequested could limit the Company’s ability to attract and retain executive officertalent, putting the Company at a competitive disadvantage versus its peers. Imposing the mandatory retention requirements of ITT.

ITT’s Corporate Governance Principles provide that the Chairman ofproposal would deprive the Board and the Chief Executive Officer mayCompensation and Personnel Committee of the flexibility to design competitive compensation packages. Further, adopting this proposal would mean that executives would not have access to a portion of their equity compensation until retirement age. This could put the Company at risk of being unable to attract or retain qualified executives unless it increased cash compensation and decreased equity compensation, an outcome that does not align the interests of senior executives with the long-term interests of shareholders. It could also motivate executives who have been successful in enhancing shareholder value to leave the Company or retire earlier than they otherwise would have, in order to be able to share in the same person; however, the two positions may be separated ifvalue that they helped to create.

In summary, the Board deemsbelieves that our current compensation programs and practices create an appropriate level of long-term stock holdings in the Company by our senior executives. We believe that beyond the significant stock ownership guidelines discussed above, individuals should be free to determine the mix of assets that best suits their personal needs and circumstances. Based on the foregoing, the Board believes that it is unnecessary and against shareholders’ best interests for the Company to adopt this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a voteAGAINST this proposal. Unless a contrary choice is specified, proxies solicited by our Board will be votedAGAINST this shareholder proposal.

Corporate Governance and Related Matters

The Company strives to maintain the highest standards of corporate governance and ethical conduct. Maintaining full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations that govern our business, and reporting results with accuracy and transparency, are critical to those efforts. The Company monitors developments in the area of corporate governance and reviews its processes and procedures in light of such developments. The Company also reviews federal laws affecting corporate governance, as well as rules and requirements of the NYSE. The Company implements other corporate governance practices that it believes are in the best interests of the Company and theits shareholders. Under the current

The following sections provide an overview of ITT’s corporate governance structure of ITT,and processes, including the positions of Chairman of the Boardindependence and Chief Executive Officer are not combined. The shareholder proposal would unnecessarily eliminate the flexibilityother criteria we use in selecting director nominees; our leadership structure; and certain responsibilities and activities of the Board of Directors to consider whetherand its Committees. Our corporate governance structure and processes are based on a number of key governance documents, which are described in the following pages.

The key governance documents, including the most current or former member of management is the best suited to serve as Chairmanversions of the Board at a given time. The Board of Directors believes that ITT and its shareholders benefit from the Board’s current ability to freely select the Chairman of the Board based on criteria that it believes to be in the best interests of ITT and its shareholders. If adopted, this proposal would unnecessarily reduce the Board of Directors’ flexibility in corporate governance matters.

The Board of Directors also disagrees with the proposal because it believes that its existing corporate governance practices already provide for strong independent leadership on the Board, as well as direct accountability to shareholders. As provided in ITT’sCompany’s Corporate Governance Principles, and Charters, the Board believes thatcharters for the majority of the Board should consist of independent directors. As determined by the Board, in accordance with NYSE rules, all of our directors except for Denise L. Ramos, our Chief Executive OfficerAudit, Compensation and President (10.0% of our directors) are currently independent directors. Each of the members of the Board of Director’sPersonnel and Nominating and Governance Committee, Audit Committee and Compensation Committee is an independent director.

InCommittees, are available on the past, when the ChairmanCompany’s website atwww.itt.com/investors/governance/. The most current version of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer were the same person, the Board’s independent leadership was further enhanced by the existence of an independent presiding director whose duties were clearly delineated in ITT’s Corporate Governance Principles and Charters. The independent presiding director, among other things, presided at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman was not present, was available to address concerns raised by other directors, senior executives or major shareholders, communicated any issues or concerns to the full Board and the Chief Executive Officer, assisted the Chairman of the Board in setting the agenda for Board meetings, approved information sent to Board members and acted as a liaison between the Chairman and the Board. The Board believes that having an independent presiding director is an effective corporate governance structure that is widely accepted by corporate governance experts and provides substantially similar benefits as having an independent director, who has not previously served as an executive officer of ITT, serve as Chairman of the Board.

The Board believes that a majority independent Board and, when necessary, the existence of the independent presiding director ensures the independent exchange of information among ITT’s independent directors and provides ITT and its shareholders with substantially the same benefits that the proposal suggests. In the Board’s view, ITT’s shareholders have benefited from the Board of Directors’ current sound corporate governance practices and strong independent Board leadership, and there is no need to require that the Chairman of the Board be an independent director, who has not previously served as an executive officer of ITT.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal.

6.Shareholder proposal requesting that the Company amend, where applicable, its policies related to human rights.

The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 815 Second Avenue, New York, NY 10017-4503, has notified us that it intends to present the following proposal at this year’s meeting:

2012 ITT Shareholder Resolution on Human Rights Policy

Whereas, ITT, as a global corporation, faces increasingly complex problems as the international social, and cultural context within which ITT operates changes.

Companies confront ethical and legal challenges arising from diverse cultures and political and economic contexts or operating in regions of conflict. Today, management must address issues that include human rights, workers’ right to organize and bargain collectively, non-discrimination in the workplace, environmental protection and sustainable community development. ITT does business in countries with human rights challenges including Colombia, Egypt and Israel.

Several international conventions, declarations and treaties contain internationally recognized standards designed to protect human rights — civil, political, social, environmental, cultural and economic — that should be reflected in ITT’s policies. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Hague Conventions, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the core labor standards of the International Labor Organization, and the International Covenant on Economic, Cultural and Social Rights. We believe these documents will help inform ITT’s revision of its human rights policy. Also, United Nations resolutions and reports of special rapporteurs on countries where ITT does business, and “Norms on the Responsibilities of Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises with Regard to Human Rights,” adopted by the United Nations Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in August 2003 are helpful, as are the comprehensive human rights policies designed for global companies found in “Principles for Global Corporate Responsibility: Bench Marks for Measuring Business Performance,” developed by an international group of religious investors.

As companies formulate comprehensive policies, we believe significant commercial advantages may accrue through enhanced corporate reputation, improved employee recruitment and retention, improved community and stakeholder relations and reduced risk of adverse publicity, consumer boycotts, divestment campaigns and lawsuits.

Resolved, shareholders request the Board to amend, where applicable, within ten months of the 2012 Annual Meeting, ITT’s policies related to human rights that guide its international and U.S. operations to conform more fully with international human rights and humanitarian standards.

Supporting Statement

We believe ITT’s current human rights policies are limited in scope, and provide little or no guidance for determining business relationships where our products or services could entangle the company in human rights violations. Although we do not recommend inclusion of any specific provision of the above-named documents in the revised policy, we believe ITT’s policies should reflect a more comprehensive understanding of human rights.

ITT should be able to assure shareholders that employees are treated fairly and with dignity wherever they work in the global economy. Going beyond internal practices, however, ITT should also provide similar assurance that its products and services are not used in human rights violations. One element of ensuring compliance is utilization of independent monitors composed of respected local human rights, religious and non-governmental organizations that know local culture and conditions. We believe the adoption of a more comprehensive human rights policy, coupled with implementation, enforcement and independent monitoring, will assure shareholders of ITT’s global leadership.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:

The proposal requests that, within 10 months of the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company revise its policies related to human rights that guide its international and U.S. operations in order to have them conform more fully with international human rights and humanitarian standards.

ITT has long supported human rights through its business practices and directly through a specific provision in itsCompany’s Code of Conduct. ITT has also included such rights in its ITT Management System, which incorporates ITT’s values. Over the past several years, ITT has continued to demonstrate progress in benchmarking and communicating its commitment to human rights. This commitment was further evidenced with our adoption of our Policy on Human Rights.

Beginning in 2008, ITT’s Vision and Values instituted a systematic company-wide commitment to respect, responsibility and integrity:

Ÿ

Our values are our compass — we strive to do the right thing always

Ÿ

Treat others fairly and courteously

Ÿ

Sustain a culture of diversity and inclusion

The Vision and Values are fundamental to our culture and they are codified in ITT’s Code of Conduct which is available on the Company’s website athttp://www.itt.com/citizenship/code-of-conduct/governance/. To ensure awarenessShareholders may also obtain copies of ITT’s leadership commitments, the Company conducts training for its employees. This training reinforces the responsibilitythese documents free of all employeescharge by sending a written request to act ethically and report possible violations.

In 2009, ITT modified its Code of Conduct to add specific language regarding its commitment to human rights:

Code of Conduct:

We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that respects and advances human rights based on our values and operating principles. We uphold human rights at all times and in all locations, regardless of local business customs.

In particular, we are committed to:

Ÿ

Providing safe and secure conditions for those working on our Company’s behalf

Ÿ

Protecting the environment

Ÿ

Following all applicable wage and hour laws

Ÿ

Strictly prohibiting human trafficking and the use of child or forced labor, including prison or bonded labor

Ÿ

Treating each other fairly and equitably

To ensure that every facet of our business upholds these standards, we seek business partners who share these commitments.

Then, in 2010, ITT conducted further research and benchmarked corporate best practices on human rights. Based on the results from that external benchmarking effort, and with a desire to continuously improve ITT’s ethical culture, in 2011, ITT implemented a specific Policy on Human Rights. The policy, which operates in conjunction with ITT’s Vision and Values and Code of Conduct, applies to all ITT employees worldwide and to ITT’s global supply chain partners within ITT’s sphere of influence.

ITT’s Policy on Human Rights states that ITT fully supports and adheres to the principles of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact where we operate. Furthermore, the policy states that ITT will work to identify and do business with supply chain partners who aspire to conduct their business in a similar manner. To underscore this commitment, the Company has published the full policy on its website athttp://www.itt.com/citizenship/employees/.

For the foregoing reasons, the Board of Directors believes that ITT has substantially fulfilled the request of this shareholder proposal with the adoption of its Policy on Human Rights.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal.Corporation, 1133 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, New York 10604, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Governance Principles.The Board of Directors has adopted the Corporate Governance Principles (or the “Principles”). These Principles govern the operation of the Board of Directors and chartersits Committees and guide the Board of Directors and ITT’s leadership team in the execution of their responsibilities. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for each of its standing committees. Theoverseeing the Corporate Governance Principles provide, amongand reviews them at least annually and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors for updates in response to changing regulatory requirements, issues raised by shareholders or other things, that stakeholders, changing regulatory requirements or otherwise as circumstances warrant. The Board may amend, waive, suspend, or repeal any of the Principles at any time, with or without public notice, as it determines necessary or appropriate in the exercise of the Board’s judgment or fiduciary duties. As noted above, we have posted the Principles on our website at:www.itt.com/investors/governance/. Among other matters, the Principles include the following items concerning the Board:

No director may stand for re-election after he or she has reached the age of 72.

Directors must be able to devote the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and Board Committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in other matters necessary for good corporate governance. To help assure that

Leadership Structure.Structure

The Board believes that the decision as to whether to combine or separate the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors positions will depend on the facts and circumstances facing the Company at a given time and could change over time. In today’s challenging economic and regulatory environment, Directors,directors, more than ever, are required to spend a substantial amount of time and energy in successfully navigating a wide variety of issues and guiding the policies and practices of the companies they oversee. To that end, we believe that, although we do not have a formal policy with respect to separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions, that having a separate Chairman, whose sole job is to lead the Board, allows our Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Ramos, to completely focus her time and energy on running the day-to-day operations of our Company. The Board believes that the Company’s current leadership structure does not affectis currently in the Board’s role in risk oversightbest interests of the shareholders of the Company.

Policies for Approving Related Person Transactions.Party Transactions

The Company andBoard of Directors has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Policy (the “Policy”) that addresses the Board have adopted formal written policies for evaluation of potential related person transactions, as those terms are defined in the SEC’s rules for executive compensation and related person disclosure, which provide forreporting, review and pre-approvalapproval or ratification of transactions which maywith related parties. The Policy covers (but is not limited to) those related party transactions and relationships required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, and applies to each director or are expectedexecutive officer of the Company; any nominee for election as a director of the Company; any security holder who is known to exceed $120,000 involving Non-Management Directors, Executive Officers, beneficial ownersthe Company to own of five percentrecord or beneficially more than 5% of any class of the Company’s common stock or other securitiesvoting securities; and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons (each, a “Related Party”).

The Company recognizes that Related Party transactions may involve potential or actual conflicts of interest and pose the risk that they may be, or be perceived to have been, based on considerations other than the Company’s best interests. Accordingly, as a general matter, the Company seeks to avoid such transactions. However, the Company recognizes that in some circumstances transactions between Related Parties and the Company may be incidental to the normal course of business, may provide an opportunity that is in the best interests of the Company to pursue or the transaction may not be inconsistent with the best interests of the Company. In other cases it may be inefficient for the Company to pursue an alternative transaction. The Policy therefore is not designed to prohibit related party transactions; rather, it is designed to provide for timely internal reporting of such persons.transactions and appropriate review, oversight and public disclosure of them. The Policy supplements the provisions of the Company’s policy generally groups transactions with related persons into two categories: (1) transactions requiringCode of Conduct concerning potential conflict of interest situations. Under the approval ofPolicy, an amendment to an arrangement that is considered a Related Party transaction is, unless clearly incidental in nature, considered a separate Related Party transaction.

The Policy provides for the Nominating and Governance Committee to review all Related Party transactions and, (2) certainwherever possible, to approve such transactions including ordinary course transactions below established financial thresholds, that are deemed pre-approved byin advance of any such transaction being given effect. In connection with approving or ratifying a Related Party transaction, the

Nominating and Governance Committee.Committee considers, in light of the relevant facts and circumstances, whether or not the transaction is in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company, including, as applicable, consideration of the following factors:

In reviewing related person

the position within or relationship of the Related Party with the Company;

the materiality of the transaction to the Related Party and the Company, including the dollar value of the transaction, without regard to profit or loss;

the business purpose for and reasonableness of the transaction, taken in the context of the alternatives available to the Company for attaining the purposes of the transaction;

whether the transaction is comparable to a transaction that could be available on an arms-length basis or is on terms that the Company offers generally to persons who are not Related Parties;

whether the transaction is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and was proposed and considered in the ordinary course of business; and

the effect of the transaction on the Company’s business and operations, including on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and system of disclosure controls or procedures, and any additional conditions or controls (including reporting and review requirements) that should be applied to such transaction.

The Policy provides standing pre-approval for certain types of transactions that are not deemed pre-approved for approval or ratification, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances, including:

Ÿ

Whether terms or conditions of thehas determined do not pose a significant risk of conflict of interest, either because a Related Party would not have a material interest in a transaction are generally available to third-parties under similar terms or conditions

Ÿ

Level of interest or benefit to the related person

Ÿ

Availability of alternative suppliers or customers

Ÿ

Benefit to the Company

The Nominating and Governance Committee is deemed to have pre-approved certain transactions identified in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K that are not required to be disclosed even if the amount involved exceeds $120,000. In addition, any transaction with another company at which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), Director and/or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares is deemed pre-approved; provided, however, that with respect to Directors, if a Director is a current employee,type or if an immediate family member of the Director is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, such transaction shall be reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee and not considered appropriate for automatic pre-approval. Regardless of whether a transaction is deemed pre-approved, all transactions in any amount are required to be reporteddue to the Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Code of Conduct is also posted on the Company’s website athttp://www.itt.com/citizenship/code-of-conduct/.

Independent Directors.The Company’s Non-Management Directors must meet the NYSE independence standards. The Company’s Corporate Governance Principles define independence inCompany has also established a confidential ethics phone line to respond to employees’ questions and reports of ethical concerns. In accordance with the independence definition in the current NYSE corporate governance rules for listed companies. The ChartersSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit CompensationCommittee has established a policy with procedures to receive, retain and Personneltreat complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters, and to allow for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors, through the Nominating and Governance CommitteesCommittee, conducts an annual review of the independence of its members. With the assistance of legal counsel to the Company, the Nominating and Governance Committee has reviewed the applicable standards for Board and Committee member independence, as well as our Corporate Governance Principles. A summary of the answers to annual questionnaires completed by each of the directors and a report of transactions

with director-affiliated entities are also require all membersmade available to be independent Directors.

Based onthe Nominating and Governance Committee to enable its comprehensive independence review. On the basis of this review, the Nominating and Governance Committee has delivered a report to the full Board of Directors, affirmatively determined, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, that no Non-Management Directorthe Board has amade its independence determinations based upon the Committee’s report and the supporting information.

Under NYSE listing standards, an independent director must not have any material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. The NYSE requirements pertaining to director independence also include a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. The Board also considers whether directors have any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Board has not adopted categorical standards of independence other than those promulgated by the NYSE. The SEC has a separate independence requirement for audit committee members that overlays the NYSE requirements. The NYSE also recently promulgated rules requiring directors that serve on compensation committees to satisfy additional independence requirements specific to that service.

The Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Ramos is not “independent” because of her employment as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. The Board of Directors has reviewed all Non-Managementrelationships between the Company and each other member of the Board of Directors including alland has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Ashford, Mr. D’Aloia, Mr. DeFosset, Ms. Gold, Ms. McDonald, Mr. Lavin, Mr. MacInnis and Mr. Stebbins is “independent” pursuant to the applicable listing standards of the NYSE. None of these directors were disqualified from “independent” status under the objective tests set forth in the NYSE standards. In assessing independence under the subjective relationships test described above, the Board of Directors took into account the criteria for disqualification set forth in the NYSE’s objective tests, and reviewed and discussed additional information provided by each director and the Company with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and its management. Based on the foregoing, as required by the NYSE, the Board made the subjective determination as to each of these directors that no material relationships with the Company exist and no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of such director. The Board also determined that the current members of the Audit Committee, Mr. D’Aloia, Ms. Gold, Ms. McDonald and Mr. Stebbins, and Compensation and Personnel Committee, Mr. Ashford, Mr. DeFossett, Mr. Lavin and Nominating and Governance Committees,Mr. MacInnis, meet the applicable SEC definition of independence.

In making its independence definition indeterminations, the current NYSE corporate governance rules for listed companies.

Each year,Board considered transactions occurring since the beginning of the Company’s Directors2011 fiscal year between the Company and executive officers complete annual questionnaires designedentities associated with the directors or members of their immediate family. All identified transactions that appear to elicit information about potential related person transactions. Additionally, Directors and executive officers must promptly advise the Corporate Secretary if there are any changesrelate to the information previously provided.

The Board also considered in its analysis the Company’s Annual Meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews its recommendations with the full Board, which separately considers and evaluates the independence of Directors standing for re-election using the standards described above.

In February 2012, the Board considered regular commercial sales and payments in the ordinary course of business as well as charitable contributions to tax-exempt organizations with respect to each of the Non-Management Directors standing for re-election at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting.non-management directors. In particular,making its subjective determination that each non-management director is independent, the Board evaluatedconsidered the transactions in the context of the NYSE objective standards, the special standards established by the SEC for members of audit committees, and the SEC and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) standards for compensation committee members. In each case, the Board determined that, because of the nature of the director’s relationship with the entity and/or the amount involved in the transaction, the relationship did not impair the director’s independence. In its review of sales to ITT or purchases by ITT with respect to companies where any ofMr. Ashford’s independence, the Directors serve or served asBoard considered that he is an executive officer or Director.

In no instances was a Director a current employee, or was an immediate family member of a Director a current executive officer of a company that, has made payments to, orin at least one of the preceding three fiscal years, received payments from the Company for property or services in an amount less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of his employer’s consolidated gross revenues. The Company did not make any contributions to any tax exempt organizations in which in any ofnon-management director

serves as an executive officer within the lastpast three fiscal years where such contributions exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of each respective company’ssuch organization’s consolidated gross revenues. The Board also considered the Company’s charitable contributions to non-profit organizations with respect to each of the Non-Management Directors. No contributions exceeded 1% of the consolidated gross revenues of any non-profit organization.

Ms. Ramos is not independent because of her position as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.

On October 31, 2011, we completed the Separation of our Defense and Information Solutions business and our water related business. In connection with the Separation, the Board of Directors

determined to decrease the size of the Board of the Company from 10 Directors to eight Directors and Steven R. Loranger, Curtis Crawford, John J. Hamre, Surya N. Mohapatra and Ralph Hake tendered their resignations from the Board of Directors and the resignations were accepted. On December 14, 2011, the Board determined to increase the size of the Board of the Company from eight Directors to nine Directors and, in connection therewith, the Board elected Orlando Ashford to the Board. On February 23, 2012, the Board determined to increase the size of the Board of the Company from nine Directors to 10 Directors and, in connection therewith, the Board elected Donald J. Stebbins to the Board. The following are the independent Directors standing for election: General Kern; Messrs. Ashford, D’Aloia, DeFosset, MacInnis, Stebbins and Tambakeras; and Mrs. Gold and Ms. Sanford.

Board and Committee Roles in Oversight of Risk.Risk

The Board of Directors has primary responsibility for overall risk oversight, including the Company’s risk profile and management controls. The Audit Committee of the Board oversees the Company’s operational and regulatory risk management and risk assessment program, including all risk mitigation processes. The Nominating and Governance Committee has responsibility for assessing and monitoring the Company’s global risk profile, and provideprovides regular reports to the Board with respect to their findings. In addition, the Company has established a cross-functional team of members of management referred to as the Risk Center of Excellence (the “RCOE”), to internally monitor various risks. The Nominating and Governance Committee receives regular reports from RCOE as well. The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviews and assesses compensation and incentive program risks to ensure that the Company’s compensation programs encourage innovation and balance appropriate business risk and rewards without encouraging risk-taking behaviors whichthat may have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation and Personnel Committee structures compensation so that unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior is discouraged and behaviors correlated with long-term value creation are encouraged. The Board, Audit, Nominating and Governance, and Compensation and Personnel Committees receive regular reports with respect to the Company’s risk profile and risk management controls.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.Participation

Director Selection and Composition.Composition

In fulfilling its responsibility to identify and recommend to the Board of Directors qualified candidates for membership on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account a variety of factors. Directors of the Company must be persons of integrity, with significant accomplishments and recognized business stature. The Nominating and Governance Committee desires that the Board of Directors be diverse in terms of its viewpoints, professional experience, education and skills as well as race, gender and national origin. In addition, ITT’s Corporate Governance Principles state that as part of the membership criteria for new Board members, individuals must possess such attributes and experiences as are necessary to provide a broad range of personal characteristics including diversity, management skills, and technological, business and international experience. On an annual basis, as part of its self-evaluation,The Nominating and Governance Committee desires that the Board of Directors assesses whetherbe diverse in terms of its viewpoints, professional experience, education and skills as well as race, gender and national origin—and the mix of directors is appropriate for the Company. In addition, theNominating and Governance Committee assesses the effectiveness of these criteria by referring to the criteria when it periodically assesses the composition of the Board. The Board of Directors activelyseeksactively seeks to consider diverse candidates for membership on the Board when it has a vacancy to fill and includes diversity as a specific factor when conducting any search.

As part of its process in identifying new candidates to join the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers whether and to what extent the candidate’s attributes and experiences will individually and collectively complement the existing Board, evaluating the current Board’s needs for operational, technical, management, financial, international or other expertise and recognizing that ITT’s businesses and operations are diverse and global in nature. Currently,On an annual basis, as part of its self-evaluation, the full Board consists of 10 directors. OutDirectors assesses whether its overall mix of directors is appropriate for the 10 Directors, three are female, and one is African American. The Directors come from diverse professional backgrounds, including technology, financial and manufacturing industries as well as governmental and non-governmental agencies.Company.

To be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee as a Directordirector candidate, a nominee must first meet the requirements of the Company’s By-laws and Corporate Governance Principles. In addition to these minimum qualifications, the Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates each nominee’s skills to determine if those skills are complementary to the skills demonstrated by current Board members. The Nominating and Governance Committee also evaluates the Board’s needs for operational, technical, management, financial, international or other expertise.

Prior to recommending nominees for election as Directors,directors, the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee engages in a deliberative, evaluative process to ensure each nominee possesses the skills and attributes that individually and collectively will contribute to an effective Board of Directors. Biographical information for each candidate for election as a Directordirector is evaluated and candidates for election participate in interviews with existing Board members and management. Each candidate is subject to thorough background checks. Director nominees must be willing to commit the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings and participation in other matters necessary for good corporate governance.

The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies Directordirector candidates through a variety of sources including personal references and business contacts. On occasion, the Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes a search firm to identify and screen Directordirector candidates and pays a fee to that firm for each such candidate elected to the Board of the Company. The Nominating and Governance Committee will also consider Directordirector nominees recommended by shareholders for electionshareholders. Shareholders who wish to the Company’s Board who meet the qualification standards described above.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISCompensation Discussion and Analysis

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYExecutive Summary

In our second full year as the “new ITT” we have continued to focus on building and implementing our sustainable growth model for the future. In doing so, we have delivered strong operating results, made significant investments in our businesses and our key functions, and advanced our strategy to deliver solid results to shareholders.

Our 2013 business performance was extremely strong:

Revenue was up 12% to $2.5 billion, with organic revenue up 6%, representing solid gains and strengths across key geographies and strategic end markets;

GAAP income from continuing operations totaled $5.28 per share;

Adjusted EPS from continuing operations increased 20% to $2.02 per share, reflecting strong operational performance; and

Adjusted segment operating income increased 21% and margins expanded 100 basis points due to volume and productivity gains.

As shown below, ITT achieved significant total shareholder returns in 2013, as compared to the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index, of which ITT is a member.

LOGO

During the past two years, the Company has made significant investments in its people, focusing on talent management and building capabilities to grow our own leaders. These investments will enable the Company to identify and develop leaders with a greater focus on effective succession planning. These efforts, combined with the work started in 2013 on creating a healthy, high performing culture, will allow the Company to focus its investment on leaders that will help drive and execute the Company’s strategy.

What is New for 2013 and 2014?

As we considered 2013 and 2014 executive compensation design, we were mindful of the results of the Company’s 2012 and 2013 advisory votes on executive compensation, which resulted in 95% and 94%, respectively, of shareholder votes cast in favor of our proposals.

We remain committed to continuing the best pay practices and pay-for-performance approach to executive compensation that resulted in consistently high positive vote percentages. This commitment is reflected in the following changes introduced in 2013 and 2014.

2013 Changes

Ÿ

Annual Incentive Plan

¡

The Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers was changed in 2013 to include an individual goal component. This element was added to provide focus on supporting enterprise initiatives that will create growth and increase shareholder value. For 2013, the primary focus areas were increased attention to talent management and creating strong succession plans for leadership positions, implementation of lean manufacturing practices across our manufacturing facilities, development and execution of an enterprise IT strategy and a focus on other key strategic initiatives.

Ÿ

Long-Term Incentives

¡

Beginning with the 2013 grants, we changed our mix of long-term incentive compensation, placing more weight on performance-based awards, which now make up half of our long-term incentive vehicles:

LOGO

¡

Also beginning with the 2013 grants, performance units (formerly TSR Units) may vest based on performance against both a relative Total Shareholder Return metric as well as a Return on Invested Capital metric, equally weighted, providing a balance between relative and absolute long-term performance. We will grant and, if earned depending upon performance, settle these performance unit awards in shares following a three-year performance period, which further aligns payouts with stock price performance.

Ÿ

Severance

¡

During 2013 the Compensation and Personnel Committee approved changes to the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan (excluding the Chief Executive Officer who is covered by a separate employment agreement). The changes were intended to bring ITT’s practices in line with current market practices. Some of the changes made to the plan were reducing the overall cash severance benefits provided to executives from a maximum of two years to one year, providing participants with outplacement assistance for 12 months and eliminating the vesting of equity awards during the severance period. These changes were effective July 1, 2013 for new participants. The existing program will sunset over two years for current participants, upon which time those individuals will be covered under the new terms.

2014 Changes

Ÿ

Change of Control Provisions

¡

Beginning with the Company’s annual grant cycle in March 2014, all long-term incentive awards will now include a “double trigger” provision, consistent with the Company’s other change of control severance benefits, meaning that both a change of control event and termination of an executive’s employment will be required for the acceleration of an executives’ long-term incentive awards to occur. This change reflects a best pay practice and still provides competitive benefits in the event that an executive’s employment is terminated due to a change of control of the Company.

Ÿ

Retirement Provisions

¡

Beginning with the Company’s annual grant cycle in March 2014, all long-term incentive awards will now provide continued vesting for retirees that have:

attained age 62 with at least 10 years of service; or

attained age 65.

Continued vesting will be contingent upon the executive’s adherence to various restrictive covenants. The Company believes that this approach provides additional alignment with shareholders for long-term decision-making by executives nearing retirement and also recognizes long-serving employees.

In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we explain the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s executive compensation philosophy, andidentify the performance objectives for each of theour Named Executive Officers, (“NEOs”), describe all elements of the Company’s executive compensation program, and explain why the Compensation and Personnel Committee selected each compensation component. The Committee’s decisions were based in part on the support received for our compensation programs in last year’s executive compensation advisory vote. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our tabular disclosures regarding the compensation of our NEOs for 2011,2013, which can be found on page 72 ofelsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Compensation Tables.”

Governance and Compensation

We believe that our underlying executive compensation programs are appropriate and effective in motivating and rewarding the behaviors that create long-term shareholder value.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

We have designed our compensation programs to help us recruit and retain the executive talent required to successfully manage our business, achieve our business objectives and maximize their long-term contributions to our success. We provide compensation elements that are designed to align the interests of executives with our goals of enhancing shareholder value and achieving our long-term strategies. Our total annual compensation is informed by the median of the competitive market, with experience, performance, critical skills, and the general talent market driving positioning above or below the market median. The Compensation and Personnel Committee looks to both peer companies and published compensation surveys as an important input to understand compensation levels for senior executives.

Key Participants in the Compensation Process

Role of the Compensation and Personnel Committee:    The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviews and approves each of the compensation targets for all of the Company’s executive officers, including its NEOs. The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviewed each compensation element for the CEO and other NEOs, and made the final determination regarding such compensation elements. The Compensation and Personnel Committee also makes determinations with respect to the AIP as it relates to our executive officers, including the approval of annual performance goals and subsequent full-year achievement against those goals. It administers all elements of the Company’s long-term incentive grant program, and approves the benefits and perquisites offered to executive officers. Further, the Compensation and Personnel Committee evaluates all compensation programs on an annual basis to ensure that no plans induce or encourage excessive risk-taking by its participants. Pursuant to its charter the Compensation and Personnel Committee may delegate authority to act upon specific matters to a subcommittee.

Role of Management:    During 2013, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and senior human resources executive made recommendations to the Compensation and Personnel Committee regarding executive compensation actions and incentive awards. The senior human resources executive serves as a liaison between the Compensation and Personnel Committee and Pay Governance, LLC (“Pay Governance”), the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s Independent Compensation Consultant, providing internal data on an as-needed basis so that Pay Governance can provide comparative analyses to the Compensation and Personnel Committee. In 2013, the Company’s human resources, finance and legal departments supported the work of the Compensation and Personnel Committee, by providing information, answering questions and responding to various requests of committee members.

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant:    In 2013, the Compensation and Personnel Committee continued to use the services of Pay Governance in fulfilling its obligations under its charter, the material terms of which are described elsewhere in this proxy statement under the heading “Committees of the Board of Directors.”

Pay Governance attended five of the seven meetings held by the Compensation and Personnel Committee in 2013 and provided the committee with objective expert analyses, assessments, research and recommendations for executive compensation programs, incentives, perquisites, and compensation standards. In this capacity, they provided services that related solely to work performed for, and at the direction of, the Compensation and Personnel Committee, including analysis of material prepared by corporate-level management for the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s review. Pay Governance provided no other services to the Company during 2013.

The total amount of fees paid to Pay Governance for 2013 services to the Compensation and Personnel Committee was $201,463. In addition, the Compensation and Personnel Committee reimburses Pay Governance for reasonable travel and business expenses.

The Compensation and Personnel Committee selected Pay Governance to serve as its Independent Compensation consultant only after assessing the firm’s independence. As part of its independence review, the Compensation and Personnel Committee reviewed the Company’s relationship with Pay Governance and determined that no conflicts of interest existed. The Compensation and Personnel Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate consultants, including Pay Governance, with respect to compensation matters.

External Benchmarking

In 2013, as in past years, the Compensation and Personnel Committee looked to competitive market compensation data for companies comparable to the Company to establish overall policies and programs that address executive compensation, benefits and perquisites in line with its stated pay philosophy.

For first quarter 2013 pay decisions for the CEO and CFO, the Company used a peer group of 13 companies similar in size, market capitalization and industry to better compare executive compensation market practices among chief executive officers and chief financial officers (the “Representative Peer Group”). The CEO and CFO roles are more easily compared from company to company, taking into account revenue levels between the companies. The 2013 Representative Peer Group consisted of the following companies:

Ÿ    Actuant Corporation (ATU)

Ÿ    AMETEK, Inc. (AME)

Ÿ    Carlisle Companies Incorporated (CSL)

Ÿ    Crane Co. (CR)

Ÿ    Esterline Technologies Corporation (ESL)

Ÿ    Flowserve Corporation (FLS)

Ÿ    Gardner Denver, Inc. (GDI)

Ÿ    Hubbell Incorporated (HUB.B)

Ÿ    IDEX Corporation (IEX)

Ÿ    Robbins & Myers, Inc. (RBN)

Ÿ    Roper Industries, Inc. (ROP)

Ÿ    SPX Corporation (SPW)

Ÿ    Woodward, Inc. (WWD)

The Compensation and Personnel Committee periodically reviews and evaluates this Representative Peer Group to ensure that it remains appropriate. The Compensation and Personnel Committee will change this peer group in 2014 to remove Robbins and Myers, Inc., which was acquired, and Gardner Denver, Inc., which was taken private. In addition, Barnes Group, Inc. (B), Colfax Corporation (CFX), EnPro Industries, Inc. (NPO), Harsco Corporation (HSC) and Nordson Corporation (NDSN) were added to this peer group in 2014, bringing the total size of the peer group to 16 companies for 2014. The peer group was expanded to minimize the impact of 2013 mergers and acquisitions on the size of the Company’s peer group and to meet the Committee’s desire to include additional relevant peers.

The Compensation and Personnel Committee’s review of external market data also included, as the primary reference for the other NEOs (and as a secondary reference for the CEO and CFO), analysis of the Towers Watson Compensation Data Bank (“CDB”) and other compensation survey information provided by Pay Governance. In particular, the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s analysis used a sample of over 100 companies from general industry that were available in the CDB with annual revenue between $1.1 billion and $4.5 billion, in order to provide a representative sample of the Company’s broader market for executive talent (see Exhibit A attached).

SUMMARY OF 2011 SEPARATION ISSUES

During 2011, ITT Corporation underwent a significant change in its corporate structure. On October 31, 2011, the Company successfully completed the Separation of its defense- and water-related businesses, now called Exelis Inc. (“Exelis”) and Xylem Inc. (“Xylem”), respectively. As a result, a significant number of our executives assumed new positions with Exelis and Xylem while other executives were appointed to new positions within the Company.

NEO Changes:The Board of Directors approved several changes to our NEO population, all effective at the time of the Separation.

NEO Compensation Actions: In recognition of these personnel changes, as well as the complexity of the Separation and the commitment necessary to complete it, the Committee and the Board took a number of special actions during 2011 related to compensation. These actions and the reasons for taking them are discussed in more detail in the sections that follow, and included:

Ÿ

Salary / Total Compensation Actions:

Ÿ

Re-evaluated executive positions using the Company’s lower, post-Separation annual revenue as the key variable in external benchmarking. This has the effect of lowering the median external benchmark pay data for most positions.

Ÿ

Established an initial external pay positioning for Ms. Ramos as our newly-promoted Chief Executive Officer and President that targeted total compensation (base salary plus target annual incentive opportunity plus target long-term incentive opportunity) at the 25th percentile of the post-Separation external benchmark, with the expectation that her market positioning would be aligned closer to the 50th percentile of the new Peer Group in 2012.

Ÿ

Reviewed the target compensation levels paid to each of the post-Separation NEOs, and made target compensation increases as appropriate to reflect their significant increases in responsibility associated with assuming elevated post-Separation roles.

Ÿ

Annual Incentive Plan Actions:

Ÿ

Increased the target annual incentive plan (“AIP”) award percentages for Ms. Ramos and Messrs. Chicles and Scalera to reflect the additional responsibilities assumed at the time of Separation.

Ÿ

Bifurcated the AIP into two performance periods — one pre-Separation and one post-Separation.

Ÿ

Awarded Transition Success Incentive (“TSI”) bonus payments to Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, Pagano, and Nanda, who played key roles in effecting the Separation.

Ÿ

Long-Term Incentive Plan Actions:

Ÿ

Settled all of the outstanding Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Awards on a prorated basis at the time of the Separation for both executive officers and non-executive officers. Those awards maintained the original TSR Award vesting schedule.

Ÿ

Converted nearly all outstanding pre-Separation stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to post-Separation ITT awards, using conversion ratios that provided equivalent value to plan participants. All NEOs except Mr. Loranger were included in this conversion.

Ÿ

Converted all outstanding pre-Separation stock options and full-share awards for Mr. Loranger to post-Separation stock options and full-share awards distributed between the Company, Xylem and Exelis in the same proportion as shares in such three companies were distributed to shareholders of the Company.

Ÿ

Granted one-time special awards of stock options and RSUs (“Founders’ Grants”) to all post-Separation NEOs. These special Founders’ Grants were made in order to strengthen the alignment of the new senior management team with the shareholders of the post-Separation Company, to accelerate the growth of stock ownership levels among the new senior management team, and to encourage long-term key employee retention.

Ÿ

Benefit Plan Actions:

Ÿ

Amended the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan to freeze all benefits earned as of the Separation date, including the benefits of all NEOs except for Mr. Loranger, who was not eligible to accrue any additional benefits following his resignation as of the Separation date.

Ÿ

Actions specific to former NEOs:

oMr. Loranger’s resignation agreement included payments by the Company that were guaranteed under the terms of his existing employment agreement, as well as a one-time award that rewarded him for his leadership of the Company through the successful Separation.

oMs. McClain’s and Mr. Melcher’s resignations from the Company resulted in no additional payments by the Company. Their 2011 AIP awards were assumed by Xylem and Exelis, respectively. Their outstanding unvested Company restricted shares and RSUs, and their unexercised Company stock options, were fully converted into restricted shares, RSUs, and stock options in Xylem and Exelis, respectively.

Post-Separation NEO Compensation.    Prior to the Separation, the Committee determined post-Separation annualized target compensation levels for all post-Separation executive officers, including the NEOs. Annual base salary, annual incentives, and long-term incentives provide the foundation for NEO compensation. Additional compensation components, which supplement these foundational components, are also discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The annual target compensation for each NEO as of the Separation date, is as follows:

2011 Business Summary and Resulting NEO Compensation Actions

ITT’s compensation philosophy ties a substantial percentage of NEO compensation to business performance and share price performance. Compensation design for the NEOs is structured to achieve long-term shareholder value creation without undue business risk. If business performance or share price performance falls below identified thresholds, at-risk compensation is reduced or not paid at all.

The following chart highlights the Company’s performance in fiscal year 2011 and over the most recent three-year period, and those results’ effect on 2011 compensation.

—     No TSR Award payments for those performance cycles.

—     For the remaining TSR Award performance periods after the Separation, a pro-rated percentage of the target awards were converted to cash payments and ITT RSU grants. The RSU grants made as part of this conversion were made to accelerate growth in stock ownership among the Company’s key employees, and to increase employee retention.

Considerations of Say on Pay Vote:    In 2011, the Company’s advisory vote on executive compensation resulted in more than 91% of votes cast in favor of our proposal. Shareholders also overwhelmingly voted in favor of an annual vote. While the Separation has had a substantial effect on the Company’s business strategy, the Committee plans to continue the good pay practices and pay-for-performance approach to executive compensation that resulted in a high positive vote percentage in 2011.

Good Pay Practices:    The Committee continued to modify its executive compensation program to reflect best pay practices in light of the business needs of the Company. Among the actions taken by the Committee in 2011 and in previous years to promote and enforce good pay practices are:

Ÿ

Elimination of repricing or replacing of stock options without shareholder approval, except in the event of an equity restructuring (p. 57)

Ÿ

Elimination of all income tax gross-ups on executive perquisites (p. 62)

Ÿ

Elimination of all excise tax gross-ups from executive change-in-control severance plans (p. 65)

Ÿ

Elimination of executive perquisites during any severance period in the event of a change-in-control (p. 65)

Ÿ

Use of an Independent Compensation Consultant to advise the Committee (p. 67-68)

Ÿ

COMPENSATION PROCESS

Our Annual Compensation Cycle

The compensation of our executive officers, including our NEOs, is reviewed in detail every yearby the Compensation and Personnel Committee during the first quarter. This review includes:

Ÿ

Annual performance reviews for the prior year;

Ÿ

Base salary merit increases – normally established in March,

Ÿ

AIP target awards, and

Ÿ

Long-term incentive target awards (including stock options, restricted stock or RSUs, and TSR Awards).

The actual award datequarter of stock options, restricted stock or RSUs and target TSR Awards is determined on the date on which the Committee approves these awards. In recent years, this has occurred at the Committee’s regularly-scheduled March meeting. TSR Awards reflect a performance period starting on January 1 of the year in which the Committee approved the TSR Award. Restricted stock or RSUs, TSR and stock option award recipients receive communication of the award as soon as reasonably practical after the grant of the award.

The Committee will continue to review and assess the performance of Ms. Ramos and all senior executives and authorizeevery year. NEO direct compensation actions it believes are appropriate and commensurate with relevant competitive data and the approved compensation program.

Use of External Market Data

In 2011, as in past years, the Committee looked to competitive market compensation data for companies comparable to ITT to establish overall policies and programs that address executive compensation, benefits and perquisites. This review included analysis of the Towers Watson Compensation Data Bank (“CDB”) information provided by the Compensation Consultant. The analyses used a sample of 192 companies from the S&P Industrials Companies that were available in the CDB. The compensation data from these companies were evaluated by using a regression analysis based on each company’s annual revenue.Appendix A to this Proxy Statement lists the sample of companies from the S&P Industrials Companies that were used in the CDB analyses. The Committee believed that these 192 companies most closely reflected the labor market in which ITT competed for talent.

The Committee reviewed the external market competitiveness of all pre-Separation executive officer roles in February 2011. This analysis found that the 2011 total target compensation levels (base salary plus target annual incentive value plus target long-term incentive value) of each of our NEOs in their pre-Separation roles, after 2011 pay increases were included, were within 10% of the market median. The Committee did not include Messrs. Pagano and Nanda in this review because they were not executive officers of the Company at the time of the analysis.

This same approach was used in determining executive compensation levels post-Separation for all NEOs, based on their post-Separation roles. The Committee reviewed the same list of external companies, but utilized a lower internal revenue reference point in the regression analysis to reflect the Company’s lower annual revenue post-Separation. The use of this lower internal revenue reference point has the effect of reducing external pay benchmarking levels, which given the same external market positioning strategy would result in lower total target compensation amounts for our

post-Separation NEOs than for our pre-Separation NEOs in similar positions. The results of the post-Separation external market analysis were as follows:

For 2012 and future years, the Committee expects to target overall total compensation at the median of a newly-created peer group. This new peer group, which consists of mid-cap S&P Industrials companies, was selected to more accurately reflect the size and industry focus of the Company post-Separation.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

NEO compensation at ITT has traditionally consisted of an annual base salary, an annual cash-based incentive in the form of the AIP, and target long-term incentive awards, in the formeach of RSUs, stock options, and long-term cash awards that are tied to relative TSR Awards.which is detailed below:

Each NEO also has 10% of their AIP tied to the achievement of individual and Segment level areteam goals.
Long-Term Incentives (LTI)Stock

The long-term incentive plan is designed to reward performance that drives long-term shareholder value through the use of three-year cliff vesting:

ŸPerformance Units (50% of LTI mix) provide rewards linked to absolute stock price performance (due to denomination as share units) and can go up or down based on the Board-approved operating plan,two key measures, equally weighted, and meeting the financial goals set out in that plan typically results in a payment equal to 100%aligned with long-term growth:

Ÿ    3-year Return on Invested Capital

ŸStock Options (25% of LTI mix) only provide value if there is stock price appreciation.

ŸThe Committee grantsactual award date of stock options, awards to link executive compensation to absolute share priceRSUs and performance gaining value only whenunits is determined on the stock price increases.

TSR Awards

Thedate on which the Compensation and Personnel Committee grants TSR Awards to link executive compensation to relative TSR performance versus a select group of industry peers overapproves these awards. In recent years, this has occurred at the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s regularly scheduled March meeting. Performance units reflect a three-year performance period. This plan provides a balance toperiod starting on January 1 of the Company’s annual grants of RSUsyear in which the Compensation and stock options, as it isPersonnel Committee approved the sole performance measure whose value is determined by the Company’s relative, and not absolute, stock performance. It also reinforces the emphasis on long-term stock price appreciation over short-term financial performance.

These compensation elements work together to provide a reasonable mix of short-term versus long-term compensation, guaranteed versus at-risk compensation, and absolute versus relative performance measures to fully align NEO interests with those of shareholders.unit.

The Company also provides benefits and limited perquisites to its NEOs that it believes are competitive with the external market for talent. For a more detailed discussion of these benefits and perquisites, see the discussion elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Elements of Compensation—Benefits and Perquisites.”

2011How the Pay Mix Supports Pay-for-Performance Alignment

The Compensation and Personnel Committee believes that these compensation elements work together to provide a reasonable mix of short-term and long-term compensation and fixed and variable compensation to provide alignment of the NEO’s objectives and rewards with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. As an NEO’s scope of responsibility increases, the amount of performance-based pay increases and fixed pay decreases in relation to the NEO’s level within the Company. The charts below show this compensation mix for our CEO and other NEOs.

Note:    The information above reflects 2013 base salary, 2013 target bonus, and 2013 target long-term incentive grant value. Calculations exclude the value of special one-time, long-term incentive grants. Short-term compensation is composed of base salary and target bonus. Long-term compensation is composed of target long-term incentive grant value. Fixed compensation is composed of base salary. Variable compensation is composed of target bonus and target long-term incentive grant value.

2013 Base Salary Increases

The Committee approves NEO base salaries annually based on external survey data provided by the Compensation Consultant and the NEO’s individual performance. The Company conducted its annual base salary merit increase process in March 2011. In addition,2013.

The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviewed the Company made salary adjustments in October 2011 to those executives who were promoted into new roles atcompensation levels of the Separation.

2011 Annual Merit Increase Process:NEOs based on the Representative Peer Group and the external survey data. Based on the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s targeted pay positioning, the evaluation of each NEO’s performance, and the external market data on competitive pay levels provided by Pay Governance, the Compensation Consultant, the Committee approved salary increases to Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain, and Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, Loranger and Melcher as follows, effective March 7, 2011:

NEO  Previous Annual Base

David F. Melcher

  $530,000    $600,000  

For Messrs. Pagano and Nanda, since they were not executive officers of the Company pre-Separation, their March 2011 salary increases were reviewed and approved by Mr. Loranger. He considered the evaluation of their individual performance, external market data on competitive pay levels from third-party consulting firms provided by internal human resources, and the overall 2011 salary increase budget for salaried personnel.

April 2011 Promotional Increase for Mr. Nanda:  In April 2011, Ms. Ramos approved an annual salary of $330,000 for Mr. Nanda, a 9% increase, that reflected a compensation level that was considered appropriate for his new role as President of the Control Technologies business segment.

October 2011 Separation-Related Promotional Increases:  The Committee re-evaluated the compensation of all executive officers of the post-Separation company prior to the Separation, using the same regression analysis methodology as used in the annual market analysis. As a result of their analysis, they approved salary increases to select executive officers, including Ms. Ramos and Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, and Pagano. While some of the increases effective with the Separation are higher than historically provided during the annual cycle, they reflect the additional responsibilities that these NEOs would have in the Company post-Separation.

The AIP award is an elementFor 2013, annual incentive plan payouts averaged 147% of NEO compensation that rewards annual operating performancetarget for the NEOs, reflecting strong Adjusted Cash Flow and earnings appreciation.Earnings per Share growth. The Company’s AIP provides for an annual cash payment to participating executives established as a target percentage of base salary. In setting AIP awards, the Compensation and Personnel Committee approves target AIP awards areafter careful consideration of external data, individual roles and responsibilities and individual performance.

The Company pays for AIP performance that demonstrates substantial achievement of plan goals. We established strong incentives and set with referenceaggressive goals for all financial metrics.

Our most senior executive officers’ eligibility to receive AIP awards is first conditioned upon the medianattainment of competitive practice based on the CDB. Any AIP payment is the product of the annual base salary rate multiplieda threshold performance metric established by the Compensation and Personnel Committee, which for 2013 was the achievement of an adjusted EBITDA target base salary percentage multiplied byof 50% of prior year’s EBITDA. Upon satisfaction of this performance threshold, the AIP annual performance factor based on the approved metrics. TheCompensation and Personnel Committee may approveexercise negative discretionary adjustments with respectdiscretion to NEOs.

Establishingdetermine AIP Performance

The 2011 AIP format is designed to consider internal business achievements. For 2011, NEOs included officers from the pre-Separation corporate segment, as well as business leaders from the business units that remainedpayments for these individuals in accordance with the Company post-Separation. The reported 2011 business segments usedperformance criteria applied to evaluate financialall other AIP participants. These AIP performance prior tometrics are described below under the Separation (the “Value Centers”) were Defense and Information Solutions, Fluid Technology, and Motion & Flow Control. The post-Separation business segments used to evaluate financial performance (the “Segments”) are Industrial Process, Motion Technologies, Interconnect Solutions, and Control Technologies.

heading “2013 AIP Performance Metrics Selection Processand Weight,” and in 2013 for each NEO they included four financial metrics and an individual component. In 2013, the Compensation and Personnel Committee exercised negative discretion to subject the most senior executive officers to the same performance criteria as all other AIP participants, and to consider each officer’s performance against his or her individual goals.

Under these performance criteria, in order to achieve an AIP payout, the Company must achieve a certain threshold for each of the four financial metrics in order for each performance component to be considered in the calculation. Performance below the threshold performance level results in a zero payout for that particular performance component.

The formula to determine each NEO’s AIP total potential payment is as follows:

2013 AIP Potential Payout =

(Base Salary) x (Target Award Percentage) x (AIP Performance Factor)

Both the individual performance components of the AIP and the overall AIP Award are capped at 200%. The Compensation and Personnel Committee maintains the right to exercise negative discretion when determining AIP awards, but did not exercise negative discretion, or further negative discretion in the case of our NEOs, when determining the 2013 AIP awards under the criteria described below.

The Company does not report on the Adjusted Segment Free Cash Flow was weighted in the Company’s 2011 AIP at 30%, and the sum of Value Center Revenue was weighted at 20%. For employees working within ametric, as disclosing this specific Segment, which includes Messrs. Pagano and Nanda, the remaining 50% of the AIP weight is distributed between three Segment-specific measures: Segment Operating Cash Flow (20%), Segment Revenue (15%), and Segment Operating Margin (15%). Segment Operating Cash Flow was given a larger AIP weight than Segment Revenue or Segment Operating Margin because the Committee considered strong Segment Operating Cash Flow to be a critical financial measure in the months leading up to the Separation.

We pay for AIP performance that clearly demonstrates substantial achievement of plan goals. We established strong incentives for revenue performance and set aggressive goals for other metrics. In order to achieve an AIP payout, each metric must meet a certain threshold for that component to be considered in the calculation. For example, Sum of Segment Operating Income performance below the 50% payout percentage of target would result in competitive harm to the Company in that metric being reflectedit may inform competitors and other parties as zero into the AIP calculation.basis for future business decisions and provide insights into the Company’s confidential planning process and strategies.

The formula to determine each NEO’s AIP total potential payment (subject to negative Committee discretion) is2013 Long-Term Incentive Compensation

In 2013, long-term incentives were allocated as follows:

2011 AIP Potential Payout =

(Base Salary) x (Target Award Percentage) x (AIP Results Percentage)

Both the individual performance components of the AIP and the overall AIP Award are capped at 200%. Results are interpolated between points. In addition, four qualitative business goals were considered for Mr. Loranger’s AIP in 2011:

 

 Ÿ 

Endeavor to retain top talent as part of the future state organization design process,50% was granted in performance units calculated at target payment amount;

BifurcationMr. Chicles received a one-time grant of 2011 AIP into Pre-Separation$250,000 in RSUs to provide additional retention incentive and Post-Separation Goals:    In October 2011,to reflect his unique multi-dimensional role at ITT, which encompasses IT strategy, corporate development, communications, human resources and ITT Management Systems, as well as his involvement with developing and implementing the Committee agreed withCompany’s long-term strategy.

Mr. Pagano received a one-time grant of $100,000 in RSUs to provide additional retention incentive and to reflect his leadership in closing the Compensation Consultant’s recommendation to bifurcateacquisition of Bornemann Pumps, a significant acquisition for the 2011 AIP into pre-Separation and post-Separation plans, dueCompany.

Mr. Yeargin received a one-time grant of $232,812 in RSUs pursuant to the fact that the financial performance goals approved by the Committee at the beginningterms in his letter of the year would not be measurable on a post-Separation basis. Therefore, the original Corporate financial goals in the 2011 AIP were pro-rated to reflect 10 months’ pre-Separation performance, and then scored based on financial performance against those goals up to the Separation date. Independent post-Separation financial goals for the remaining two months of fiscal year were then approved by the Committee based on the operating budget for the remainder of the fiscal year, and scored at the conclusion of the fiscal year based on actual performance versus those goals.

Calculation of AIP 2011 Performance

Pre-Separation Performance Period:    The AIP performance goals set at the beginning of the fiscal year were based on the full-year operating plan that was approved by the Board, and meeting the financial goals set out in that operating plan would result in an AIP payment equal to 100% of target. The Board believed that the operating plan provided a challenging set of goals for management to achieve.

Once the Separation was completed, these full-year financial goals were multiplied by 0.833, the percentage of the year that had elapsed prior to the Separation, to determine appropriate pre-Separation goals. These pre-Separation goals were then compared to actual performance as follows:

Post-Separation Performance Period:    In March 2012, the Committee determined the 2011 AIP awards for Ms. Ramos and Messrs. Chicles and Scalera for the post-Separation period, which was based solely on the business performance of the post-Separation Company for the remaining two months of the fiscal year. No negative discretion was exercised by the Committee. As permitted by the 1997 AIP for Executive Officers, the Committee excluded the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and other special items in computing AIP performance relating to AIP targets, which AIP targets also excluded these items. The Committee met privately, without any members of management present, to determine Ms. Ramos’s 2011 AIP award.

Segment Performance Targets:     For Messrs. Pagano and Nanda, we set the remaining 2011 performance targets, Segment Operating Cash Flow, Segment Revenue, and Segment Operating Margin, for the full 12-month period at challenging levels that are consistent with our long-term Peer Group targets, our premier financial targets, and are designed to meet shareholder expectations. We consider these targets to be difficult to attain. We do not report on the Segment financial results used for Segment AIP calculations, as we believe that doing so would cause competitive harm to the Company.

For Ms. McClain and Mr. Melcher, the responsibilities for calculation and payment of their 2011 AIP earned amounts were assumed by Xylem and Exelis, respectively, at the Separation date. 2011 AIP Awards for NEOs are also included in the Summary Compensation Table on Page 72. Performance targets for the 2012 AIP have not yet been established.

Transition Success Incentive Bonus

Based on external market data provided by the Compensation Consultant on ten other recent, large spin-off transactions, and in order to retain critical key employees through the uncertaintyprovide a recruitment incentive for an important new hire to lead one of the Separation, the Committee approved one-time TSI Bonuses to select executive officers, including some of our NEOs, and other employees of the Company. These TSI Bonus payments were made in March 2012, four months following the successful Separation, and all plan participants needed to remain employed by the Company through the payment date in order to be eligible to receive a TSI Bonus. In accordance with the plan design to exclude Chief Executive Officer roles, neither Ms. Ramos nor Mr. Loranger received a TSI Bonus. The NEOs who received TSI Bonus payments, and the amounts of each bonus, were as follows:Company’s key business units.

2011 Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Company’s long-term incentive awards component for senior executives hastake a portfolio approach by using three subcomponents,distinct vehicles, each addressing long-term shareholder value alignment in different ways. The Compensation and Personnel Committee believes these three types of which directly ties long-term compensation to long-term value creation andawards in combination provide strong shareholder return:

Ÿ

Restricted stock or RSU awards.    In 2010, the Committee awarded restricted stock awards. In 2011 the Committee elected to award RSUs, which will be settled in shares upon vesting. The Committee determined to award RSUs rather than restricted stock in 2011 because RSU awards provide consistent tax treatment for domestic and international employees. RSUs provide the same economic risk or reward as restricted stock, but recipients do not have voting rights and do not receive cash dividends during the restriction period. Dividend equivalents are accrued and paid in cash upon vesting of the RSUs.

Ÿ

Non-qualified stock option awards.    These awards have a 10-year term and a strike price equal to the closing price of the Company stock on the grant date.

Ÿ

TSR Awards.    These awards are target cash awards that directly link the Company’s three-year TSR performance to the performance of select S&P Industrials peer group companies on a relative basis.

The 2011 Long-Term Incentive Program Awards were allocated as follows: 1/3 RSUs calculated at grant date fair value; 1/3 non-qualified stock options calculated at the grant date fair value of the non-qualified options; and 1/3 TSR Awards calculated at target payment amount.

The following table describes the TSR Awards, non-qualified stock option awards, and RSU awards made to NEOs in March 2011, and does not give effect to the 1:2 reverse stock split. The TSR Award amounts listed reflect the cash targetalignment, retention value, and the opportunity to leverage awards up and down consistent with absolute and relative stock optionprice performance, as well as Company performance over the long term.

Performance Unit Awards (formerly TSR Unit Awards).    Performance units are settled in shares after a three-year performance vesting period, with performance tied equally to the Company’s Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and RSU awards reflect the Company’s three-year total shareholder return (TSR) performance relative to the performance of the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index, of which ITT is a member. The number of underlying options or shares granted. Stock options were granted with a pre-Separation strike price of $57.68, which was equaldelivered can range from zero to the closing price200% of the Company’s commonunits initially awarded, depending on performance, and delivery generally requires employment throughout the three-year performance period. Performance units therefore provide alignment with absolute stock on the grant date. For Ms. Ramosperformance, relative stock performance, Company performance, and Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, Pagano, and Nanda, these grants were converted to post-Separation ITT option grants in October 2011, using the conversion method described on Page 61.

Restricted Stock Units Component

Grants of RSUs provide NEOs with stock ownership of unrestricted shares after the restrictions lapse. NEOs received RSU awards because, in the judgment of the Committee and based on management recommendations, these individuals are in positions most likely to assist in the achievement ofThe Company’s performance is measured by comparing the Company’s long-term value creation goals and to create shareholder value over time. The Committee reviews all proposed grantsaverage closing stock price for the month of shares of RSUs for executive officersDecember prior to the award, including awards based on performance, retention-based awards and awards contemplated for new employees as part of employment offers.

Key elementsstart of the 2011 RSU program were:

Ÿ

RSUs do not grant dividend or voting rights to the holder over the vesting period; dividends are accrued and paid on the vesting date

Ÿ

RSUs are generally subject to a three-year restriction period

Ÿ

If an acceleration event occurs (as described on Pages 91 to 92 of this Proxy Statement) the RSUs vest in full

Ÿ

If an employee dies or becomes disabled, the RSUs vest in full

Ÿ

If an employee leaves the Company prior to vesting, whether through resignation or termination for cause, the RSUs are forfeited

Ÿ

If an employee retires or is terminated other than for cause, a pro-rata portion of the RSU award vests

Ÿ

No individual may receive more than 1,875,441 RSUs under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2011 Omnibus Plan”) in any one Plan Year.

In certain cases, such as for new hires or to facilitate retention, selected employees may receive RSUs subject to different vesting terms as determined by the Committee.

Non-Qualified Stock Options Component

Non-qualified stock options permit option holders to buy Company stock in the future at a price equalthree-year performance cycle, to the stock’s value onCompany’s average closing stock price for the datemonth of December that concludes the option was granted, whichthree-year performance cycle, including adjustments for dividends and extraordinary payments.

Payment, if any, for stock awards generally is made following the option exercise price. Non-qualified stock option terms were selected after the Committee’s review and assessmentend of the CDBapplicable three-year performance period and consideration of terms best suited to the Company.

For each of our NEOs, non-qualified stock options do not vest until three years after the award date. This delayed vesting is referred to as three-year cliff vesting. This vesting schedule prohibits early option exercises, and focuses senior executives on the Company’s long-term value creation goals.

In 2011, the fair value of stock options granted under the employee stock option program was calculated using a binomial lattice valuation model. The Committee considered this a preferred model since the model can incorporate multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends.

Key elements of the 2011 non-qualified stock option program were:

Ÿ

Maximum Number Granted:

¡

No individual may receive more than 9,377,204 options under the 2011 Omnibus Plan in any one year

Ÿ

Exercise Price:

¡

The option exercise price of stock options awarded is the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is approved by the Committee

¡

For options granted to new executives, the option exercise price of approved stock option awards is the closing price on the grant date, generally the day following the first day of employment

¡

The 2003 Plan and the 2011 Omnibus Plan prohibit the repricing of, or exchange of, stock options and stock appreciation rights that are priced below the prevailing market price with lower-priced stock options or stock appreciation rights without shareholder approval, except in the event of an equity restructuring

Ÿ

Vesting Schedule:

¡

Three-year cliff vesting is required for executives at the level of senior vice president or above, while stock options vest in one-third cumulative annual installments for executives below the senior vice president level

¡

Options cannot be exercised prior to vesting

¡

If an acceleration event occurs (as described on Pages 91 to 92 of this Proxy Statement) the stock option award vests in full

Ÿ

Option Term and Exercise Period:

¡

Options awarded in 2010 and 2011 and prior to 2005 expire ten years after the grant date. Options awarded between 2005 and 2009 expire seven years after the grant date

¡

There may be adjustments to the post-employment exercise period of an option grant if an employee’s tenure with the Company is terminated due to death, disability, retirement or termination by the Company other than for cause, provided that any post-employment exercise period cannot exceed the original expiration date of the option

Ÿ

Termination Provisions:

¡

If an employee is terminated for cause, or voluntarily terminates employment without an acceleration event, vested and unvested portions of the options expire on the date of termination

¡

If an employee dies or becomes permanently disabled, all unvested options vest in full

¡

If the employee is terminated for a reason other than for cause or retires, a pro-rata portion of the stock options continue to vest on the regular vesting schedule

¡

If employment is terminated due to an acceleration event or because the option holder believes in good faith that he or she would be unable to discharge his or her duties effectively after the acceleration event, the option expires on the earlier of the date seven months after the acceleration event or the normal expiration date

TSR Awards Component

TSR Awards are variable cash payments, based on the Company’s stock price appreciation relative to thatperformance measured against the TSR performance of the TSR Performance Index over a three-yearIndex. There are up to three outstanding performance cycle. The Committee,unit awards at its discretion, determinesany time. Consistent with market practice, payouts are made at the sizetarget for median performance with upward and frequency of target TSR Awards,downward adjustments for performance measuresabove and performance goals, in addition to performance periods. In determining the size of target TSR Awards for executives, the Committee considers comparative data provided by the Compensation Consultant and the Company’s internal desired growth in share price. The Company’s target TSR Awards provided to NEOs are generally based on a participant’s position, competitive market data, individual performance and anticipated potential contributions to the Company’s long-term goals.below median, respectively.

Determining TSR Awards.     The Committee considers individual performance and competitive market data in determining target TSR Awards. Key elements of the TSR Awards include:

Ÿ

The Company’s performance is measured by comparing the Company’s average closing stock price for the month of December prior to the start of the TSR Award three-year performance cycle, to the Company’s average closing stock price for the month of December that concludes the three-year performance cycle, including adjustments for dividends and extraordinary payments.

Ÿ

Payment, if any, of cash awards generally are made following the end of the applicable three-year performance period and are based on the Company’s performance measured against the TSR performance of the selected peer group.

Ÿ

If a participant’s employment terminates before the end of the three-year performance period, the award is forfeited except in two cases: 1) if a participant dies or becomes disabled, the TSR Award vests in full and payment, if any, is made according to its original terms (vesting in full in the case of death or disability reflects the inability of the participant to control the triggering event and is consistent with benefit plan provisions related to death and disability); and 2) if a participant retires or is terminated by the Company other than for cause, a pro-rata payout, if any, is provided based on the number of full months of employment during the measurement period divided by 36 months (the term of the three-year TSR). This pro-rated payout, if any, is provided because it reflects the participant’s service during the pro-rated period.

Ÿ

Subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, in the event of an acceleration event in a change of control (described on Pages 91 to 92 of this Proxy Statement), a pro-rata portion of outstanding awards is paid through the date of the change of control based on actual performance and the balance of each award is paid at target (100%). There are up to three outstanding TSR Awards at any time.

Ÿ

Performance goals for the applicable TSR performance period are established in writing no later than 90 days after the beginning of the applicable performance period.

Performance Goals and Payments for the TSR Awards.     Individual targets for the NEOs for the 2011-2013 performance period (the “2011-13 TSR Award Period”) used to determine TSR Awards are provided in the “Grants of Plan Based Awards in 2011” table on Page 75 of this Proxy Statement. Payouts, if any, are based on a non-discretionary formula and interpolated for values between the 35th and 80th percentile of performance. The Committee felt these breakpoints were properly motivational and rewarded the desired behavior.

Measuring ROIC performance:

In 2013, the Company established threshold, target and maximum ROIC metrics for the three-year performance period from 2013 through 2015. The formulathreshold, target and maximum ROIC metrics were 10.0%, 11.0% and 12.0% respectively. The Company will need to maintain ROIC improvement at a faster growth rate than its peers in order to achieve the target ROIC metric. The ROIC metrics account for the fact that the Company’s ROIC at the beginning of the three-year performance period was lower than its peers due to the Company’s balance sheet after the Spin Transaction (as defined below under “Benefits and Perquisites”).

The performance goals are designed to be appropriately challenging, and there is a risk that payments will not be made at all or will be made at less than 100% of the target amount. The level of performance required to attain a threshold payout is generally set at a level of performance where the Compensation and Personnel Committee believes that a significantly reduced incentive payment is appropriate and below which no payout is appropriate. The level of performance to attain the target payout is designed to be reasonably challenging. The level of performance to attain a maximum payout is generally set at a level of performance that the Compensation and Personnel Committee deems exceptional.

Payment, if any, of stock awards generally are made following the end of the applicable three-year performance period and are based on the ROIC achieved during the final year of the performance period.

Restricted Stock Units.    RSUs are settled in shares after a three-year vesting period and so provide alignment with stock performance, and retention value. RSUs granted to international employees are settled in cash rather than shares, for local income tax purposes. Grants of RSUs provide NEOs with stock ownership of unrestricted shares after the restrictions lapse. NEOs receive RSU awards because, in the judgment of the Compensation and Personnel Committee and based on management recommendations, these individuals are in positions most likely to influence the achievement of the Company’s long-term value creation goals and to create shareholder value over time. The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviews all grants of RSUs for executive officers prior to the award, including awards based on performance, retention-based awards and awards contemplated for new employees as part of employment offers. The CEO has the authority to grant RSUs to employees in certain situations. These grants are reviewed by the Compensation and Personnel Committee at its next scheduled meeting. RSUs do not grant dividend or voting rights to the holder over the vesting period; dividend equivalents are accrued and paid on the vesting date. In certain cases, such as for new hires or to facilitate retention, selected employees may receive RSUs subject to different vesting terms as determined by the Compensation and Personnel Committee.

Stock Options.    Stock options provide the right to buy Company stock in the future at a price equal to the stock’s value on the date granted, which is the stock option exercise price. Stock options have a 10-year term and require a three-year vesting period of continuous employment before becoming fully exercisable (generally vesting one-third per year over the three-year period for employees other than executive officers), and so provide alignment with long-term stock price growth, and potential retention value. Non-qualified stock option terms were selected after the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s review and assessment of the CDB and consideration of terms best suited to the Company.

For each of our NEOs, non-qualified stock options do not vest until three years after the award date. This delayed vesting is referred to as “three-year cliff vesting.” This vesting schedule prohibits early option exercises, and focuses senior executives on the Company’s long-term value creation goals.

In 2013, the fair value of stock options granted under the employee stock option program was calculated using a binomial lattice valuation model, a financial model used to determine performance for the 2011-13 TSR Award Period wasvalue of stock options. This model applies a binomial approach to discrete time periods to value the same as the formulas previously approved by the Committee for the performance period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012 (the “2010-12 TSR Award Period”), and the performance period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011 (the “2009-11 TSR Award Period”).option to purchase a share of stock.

Conversion of TSR Awards at Separation.     Upon the adviceKey elements of the Compensation Consultant, the Committee approved amendments to the TSR Awards’ performance goals and payment schedulesnon-qualified stock options granted in order to reflect the changed business nature of each of the Company, Exelis, and Xylem. The amendments stated that the Company’s performance versus the preset goals for each of the three overlapping award cycles would be measured and scored at the time of Separation, and eligible employees would receive a pro-rated payment of awards earned over that period. The pro-rated portion of awards covering the uncompleted period at the Separation date would be converted to a target cash payment or RSUs, depending on the TSR Award Period. In no case would any participant receive an accelerated payment. The conversion of remaining TSR Awards into RSUs with time-based vesting provisions was approved by the Committee in order to accelerate the growth in stock ownership among the Company’s new management team, and to increase support for retention of key leadership in the post-Separation Company.

The following chart explains how TSR Awards made during each of the three grant periods were converted.

Determination of TSR Award Payments.     At the conclusion of the Separation, the Committee reviewed the Company’s TSR performance over each of the three TSR Award Periods, and determined that the Company failed to reach the threshold level of relative TSR performance in any of the three TSR Award Periods. Therefore, no payments were earned on the completed portions of the TSR Award Periods.

The uncompleted portions of each TSR Award Period were converted into cash payments and RSU grants, at target and pro-rated as per the above schedule. The converted amounts provided to each of the NEOs after the Separation, which give effect to the 1:2 reverse stock split, were as follows:

Conversion of Other Existing Equity Awards

In anticipation of the Separation, the Committee approved a conversion of all unvested restricted stock, unvested RSUs, and unexercised stock option awards upon the Separation into separate restricted stock, RSU, and stock option grants for each of the three post-Separation companies, with each equity holder receiving a modified grant of restricted stock, RSUs, and/or stock options of their post-Separation employer. All converted awards preserved each equityholder’s intrinsic value and had the same terms and conditions as they had prior to the Separation. This conversion was recommended by the Compensation Consultant and approved by the Committee because it is the most common approach used in major spin-off transactions, aligns the interests of management with shareholders of each company, and maximizes the initial ownership stake among the management of each post-Separation company.

The closing price of the Company’s stock on October 31st, the final trading day pre-Separation, was $45.60. The opening price of the Company’s stock on November 1st, the first trading day post-Separation, was $17.02, which gives effect to the 1:2 reverse stock split. Given these changes, the conversion was conducted as follows:

Special 2011 Long-Term Incentive Awards

On November 7, 2011, in connectionNEOs together with the Separation, the Committee awarded Founders’ Grants to selected members of the executive team to create significant alignment with the long-term success of the Company. The Committee approved these Founders’ Grants as a one-time event, with multiple-year vesting schedules for each grant, in order to strengthen the alignment of the new senior management team with shareholders of the post-Separation Company, to accelerate the growth of

stock ownership among the Company’s new senior management team, and to enhance employee retention. The Committee does not consider Founders’ Grants as part of annual compensation for the Company’s NEOs, and such awards are not expected to be repeated in future years.

Options, which constituted 50% of the target value of each Founders’ Grant, were granted with a termination date 10 years from the grant date, a strike price equal to the closing price on the date of the grant, and a three-year ratable vesting schedule. Options were converted from target dollar values to a number of options based upon the estimated lattice model value of $6.94 of each stock option on the date of the grant. RSUs, which constituted the remaining 50% of the target value of each Founders’ Grant, were valued using the closing stock price of Company stock on the date of the grant, and were granted with a three-year cliff vesting schedule.

The following table describes the Founders’ Grants made to the NEOs. Stock options were granted with a strike price of $20.28, which was the closing pricemost of the Company’s common stock on the November 7, 2011 grant date.

ITT Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees

Most of the Company’sother salaried employees who work in the United States, participate in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (previously called the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees,Employees), a tax-qualified savings plan, which allows employees to contribute to the plan on a before-tax basis and/or on an after-tax basis. The Company makes a core contribution of 3three or 4%four percent of pay to the plan for all eligible employees, and matches 50% of employee contributions, up to 6%six percent of pay. The core contribution is 3%three percent for employees whose age plus service is less than 50, and 4%four percent for employees whose age plus service is at least 50. In addition, employees who were participating in the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan at the time it was frozen, as described below, and whose age and service is at least 60 may be eligible for up to five years of transition employer contributions following the Separation.Spin Transaction. Prior to the Separation,Spin Transaction, the floor contribution in the ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan was 1/2 one-half of 1%one percent and all contributions were based on base salary only.

Perquisites available for NEOs include a car allowance up to $1,300 per month and financial and estate planning. Inplanning reimbursement of up to $1,250 per month. Since 2011, the Company prohibitedhas not provided any future reimbursementstax gross-up for personal income taxes due on these perquisites.

Relocation ExpensesAmounts reported as perquisites also include reimbursement of certain relocation-related expenses. In 2013, the Company reimbursed Mr. Yeargin for Mr. Pagano:     In order to promote Mr. Pagano to the role of President of the Industrial Processes segment, we agreed to reimburse him for relocation expenses to assist in the costs associated with his move from White Plains, New Yorkrelocation to

Costs associated with this relocation that were incurred in fiscal year 2011 included reimbursement offinancial loss on the sale of his home in the St. Charles, Illinois area, closing costs, thetemporary living expenses, movement of physical goods, attorney’s fees and duplicate costs associated with maintaining his home in White Plainsvisits prior to its sale.

The Company also provided him with a tax equalization payment related to his relocation, which provided him with the same after-tax income as he would have received had he not relocated at the request of the terms that were agreed as part of his assumptionCompany. No further relocation assistance is owed to Mr. Yeargin. The Company hired Mr. Yeargin in early 2013 to lead one of the Company’s key business units, and substantial relocation assistance was provided as a recruitment incentive for an important new role,hire. The Company is committed to only providing special relocation assistance when there is a compelling business need to do so.

Other Compensation and Benefits

Post-EmploymentCEO Compensation and Employment Agreement

Salaried Retirement Plan.     Up until the Separation date, most of the Company’s salaried employees who work in the United States participated in the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. Under the plan, participants had the option, onMs. Ramos has an annual basis, to elect to be covered by either a Traditional Pension Plan or a Pension Equity Plan formula for future pension accruals. The ITT Salaried Retirement Plan was a tax-qualified plan, which provided a base of financial security for employees after they cease working. The ITT Salaried Retirement Plan was transferred to Exelis byemployment agreement with the Company effectivethat governs the terms of her employment. The agreement was entered into on the Separation date,October 31, 2011 and both service creditdoes not have a stated expiration date. Ms. Ramos’ initial compensation as Chief Executive Officer and accrued benefits were frozen as of that date, subject to transition employer contributions into the ITT Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees.

Excess Pension Plans.     Because federal law limits the amount of benefits that can be paid and the amount of compensation that can be recognized under tax-qualified retirement plans, the Company established and maintained non-qualified, unfunded excess pension plans solely to pay retirement benefits that could not be paid from the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. Benefits under the excess pension plans were generally paid directly by the Company. Participating officers with excess plan benefits had the opportunity to make a one-time election prior to December 31, 2008 to receive their excess benefit earned under the Traditional Pension Plan formula (described on Page 82) in a single discounted sum payment or as an annuity. An election of a single-sum payment was only effective if the officer met the requirements for early or normal retirement benefits under the plan; otherwise, the excess benefit earned under the Traditional Pension Plan formula would be paid as an annuity. Since the excess pension plans are an unfunded obligationPresident of the Company consisted of a minimum base salary of $850,000, an AIP target incentive payment of 100% of base salary (beginning with the 2012 fiscal year) and a Long-Term Incentive Award target value of $2,800,000. Ms. Ramos’ compensation for 2013 is set forth under the heading “Executive Summary.”

If the Company terminates her employment other than for cause (as defined in her employment agreement) and other than as a result of her death or disability, in any case prior to her normal retirement date, Ms. Ramos will, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in her employment agreement, be entitled to severance pay in an amount equal to two times the sum of her then-current annual base salary and target annual incentive payable in installments over 24 months and will also be entitled to receive certain benefits during that time. The terms of her employment agreement were described in the event of a change of control, any excess plan benefit would become immediately payable, subject to any applicable Section 409A restrictions with respect to form and timing of payments, and would be paid in a single discounted sum. The single-sum payment provision provides executives the earliest possible access to the funds in the event of a change of control, and avoids leaving unfunded pension payments in the hands of the acquirer. The Excess Pension Plan that provided additional benefits than those that could be received under the tax-qualified ITT Salaried Retirement Plan was transferred to Exelis by the Company, effectiveamended Current Report on the Separation date, and both service credit and accrued benefits were frozen as of that date, subject to transition credits.Form 8-K filed on October 17, 2011.

Post-Employment Compensation

Deferred Compensation Plan.     OurPlan.    All of our NEOs are eligible to participate in the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan. This plan provides executives an opportunity to defer receipt of between 2% and 90% of any AIP paymentsawards they earn. The amount of deferred compensation ultimately received reflects the performance of benchmark investment funds made available under the Deferred Compensation Plan as selected by the executive. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan may elect a fund that tracks the performance of ITTthe Company’s common stock.

Mr. Loranger’s Non-Qualified Pension Arrangement.     Mr. Loranger’s employment agreement (the “Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement”), as described on Pages 66 to 67, provides for a non-qualified pension arrangement. Because Mr. Loranger forfeited certain employment benefits, including pension arrangements, when he left his prior employer, the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement provides him with a pension arrangement similar to the arrangement he forfeited.Frozen Plans

Ÿ

ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. Until October 31, 2011, most of the Company’s salaried employees who work in the United States participated in the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. Under the plan, participants could elect, on an annual basis, to be covered by either a Traditional Pension Plan (described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Compensation Tables—The Company’s Pension Benefits”) or a Pension Equity Plan formula for future pension accruals. The ITT Salaried Retirement Plan was a tax-qualified plan, which provided a base of financial security for employees after they cease working. The ITT Salaried Retirement Plan was transferred to Exelis Inc., our defense business that was spun off in the Spin Transaction, by the Company, effective on October 31, 2011, and both service credit and accrued benefits were frozen as of that date, and certain participants are eligible to receive transition employer contributions into the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan.

Pensions and other post-retirement compensation for the NEOs are discussed in more detail in the 2011 Pension Benefits narrative, table and footnotes on Pages 81 to 85, the Potential Post-Employment Compensation tables and footnotes on Pages 93 to 102 and in descriptions of the compensation arrangements for Mr. Loranger and Ms. Ramos on Pages 66 to 67. The Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement was negotiated when Mr.  Loranger joined
Ÿ

ITT Excess Pension Plan. Because federal law limits the amount of benefits that can be paid and the amount of compensation that can be recognized under tax-qualified retirement plans, the Company established, and until October 31, 2011 maintained, a non-qualified, unfunded excess pension plan solely to pay retirement benefits that could not be paid from the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. All of our NEOs (other than Mr. Yeargin) participated in this plan. Benefits under the ITT Excess Pension Plan were generally paid directly by the Company. Participating officers with excess plan benefits had the opportunity to make a one-time election prior to December 31, 2008 to receive their excess benefit earned under the Traditional Pension Plan formula in a single discounted lump-sum payment or as an annuity. An election of a single-sum payment was only effective if the officer met the requirements for early or normal retirement benefits under the plan; otherwise, the excess benefit earned under the Traditional Pension Plan formula would be paid as an annuity. Since the ITT Excess Pension Plan is an unfunded obligation of the Company, in the event of a change of control, any excess plan benefit would become immediately payable, subject to any applicable Section 409A restrictions with respect to form and timing of payments, and would be paid in a single discounted sum. The single-sum payment provision provides executives the earliest possible access to the funds in the event of a change of control, and avoids leaving unfunded pension payments in the hands of the acquirer. The ITT Excess Pension Plan was transferred to Exelis Inc. by the Company, effective on the date of the Spin Transaction, and both service credit and accrued benefits were frozen as of that date, and certain participants are eligible to receive transition employer contributions into the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan.

Severance Plan Arrangements

The Company maintains two severance plansarrangements for most of its senior executives, including all of the NEOs. These arrangements are broken out into two plans, one covering most severance circumstances (the Senior Executive Severance Pay PlanPlan), and the other covering severance following a change-in-control event (the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. The Company’s Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan and Special Senior Executive Severance Pay PlanPlan). These plans were originally established in 1984 and are regularly reviewed by the Compensation and Personnel Committee. These plans are described in more detail on Pages 90 to 91.

The severance plans apply topurpose of the Company’s key employees as defined by Section 409A. The Company’s severance plan arrangements are not considered in determining other elements of compensation.

Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.    The purpose of this planPlan is to provide a period of transition for senior executives. The Senior executives,Executive Severance Pay Plan applies to all NEOs other than Mr. Loranger,Ms. Ramos, whose severance terms are covered under her employment agreement. Senior executives who are U.S. citizens or who are employed in the United States are covered by this plan. The plan generally provides for severance payments if the Company terminates a senior executive’s employment without cause. During 2013, the Compensation and Personnel Committee considered changes to the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. The changes were intended to bring ITT’s practices in line with current competitive practices. Some of the changes made to the plan were reducing the overall cash severance benefits provided to executives from a maximum of two years to one year, providing participants with outplacement assistance for 12 months and eliminating the vesting of equity awards during the severance period. These changes were effective July 1, 2013 for new participants. The existing program will sunset over two years for executives, upon which time those individuals will be covered under the new terms.

The exceptions to severance payment are:

Ÿ

The executive terminates his or her own employment

Ÿ

The executive’s employment is terminated for cause

Ÿ

Termination occurs after the executive’s normal retirement date (defined as the firstpurpose of the month which coincides with or follows the executive’s 65th birthday)

Ÿ

Termination occurs in certain divestiture instances if the executive accepts employment or refuses comparable employment.

No severance is provided for termination for cause, because the Company believes employees terminated for cause should not receive additional compensation. No severance is provided in the case of termination after a normal retirement date because the executive will be eligible for retirement payments. No severance is provided when an executive accepts or refuses comparable employment because the executive has the opportunity to receive employment income from another party under comparable circumstances.

Ms. Ramos and Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, Pagano, and Nanda participate in this plan. Mr. Loranger did not participate in this plan because his severance arrangements, including severance pay and benefits upon termination from the Company, were provided separately under the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement described on Pages 66 to 67.

Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.    The purpose of this planPlan is to provide compensation in the case of termination of employment in connection with an acceleration event (defined on Pages 91 to 92under the heading “Potential Post-Employment Compensation—Change of this Proxy Statement)Control Arrangements”) including a change of control. The provisions of this plan are specifically designed to address the inability of senior executives to influence the Company’s future performance after certain change of control events. The plan is structured to encourage executives to act in the best interests of shareholders by providing for certain compensation and retention benefits and payments including change of control provisions, in the case of an acceleration event.

The purposes of these provisions are to:

Ÿ

Provide for continuing cohesive operations as executives evaluate a transaction, which, without change of control protection, could be personally adverse to the executive

Ÿ

Keep executives focused on preserving value for shareholders

Ÿ

Retain key talent in the face of potential transactions

Ÿ

Aid in attracting talented employees in the competitive marketplace.

As discussed above, this plan provides severance benefits for covered executives,These plans, including any NEO whose employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, or where the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason within two years after the occurrence of an acceleration event as described below (including a termination due to death or disability) or if during the two-year period following an acceleration event, the covered executive had grounds to resign with good reason or the covered executive’s employment is terminated in contemplation of an acceleration eventpotential post-employment payments that ultimately occurs.

The plan is designed to put the executive in the same position, from a compensation and benefits standpoint, as he or she would have been in without the acceleration event, on a pre-tax basis. With respect to incentive plan awards, since the executive will no longer have the ability to influence the corporate objectives upon which the awards are based, the plan provides that any AIP Awards are paid out at target 100%. In the event of a change of control, a pro-rata portion of outstanding TSR Awards will be paid through the date of the change of control based on actual performance and the balance of the award will be paid at target (100%). More information about the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan is provided on Pages 90 to 91 of this Proxy Statement.

In October 2011, effective with the Separation, the Company amended this plan as follows:

Ÿ

Eliminated all executive perquisites that would previously have been provided during the severance period.

Ÿ

Amended its calculation of severance benefits so that current salary and target bonus are used in the severance formula, replacing the highest salary and highest actual bonus over the previous three years.

Ÿ

Eliminated the plan provision that provided for reimbursement of excise taxes and subsequent income tax gross-up on that payment, should the termination payments upon the acceleration event result in an excise tax due under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280G. The excise tax gross-up was replaced with a “best net” provision, which provides either an unreduced benefit or a reduction in payments sufficient to avoid triggering an excise tax, whichever is better after-tax.

The Company made these changes to the plan in order to improve Company alignment with shareholder interests.

Ms. Ramos, and Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, Pagano, and Nanda participate in the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. Mr. Loranger did not participate in the plan because his severance arrangements, which included severance pay and benefits upon termination from the Company in connection with an acceleration event, were set forth in the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement, described on Pages 66 to 67.

KEY PARTICIPANTS IN THE COMPENSATION PROCESS

Role of the Committee:    The Committee, with input from Management and external data and advice from its Compensation Consultant, reviews and approves each of the compensation targets for all of the Company’s executive officers, including its NEOs. The Committee reviewed each compensation element for the Chief Executive Officer and other NEOs, and made the final determination regarding executive compensation for these officers using the processes describedmore detail elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. It also makes determinations with respect toAnalysis under the AIP as it relates to our executive officers, including the approval of annual performance goals and subsequent full-year achievement against those goals. It administers all elements of the Company’s long-term incentive grant program, and approves the benefits and perquisites offered to executive officers. It evaluates all compensation programs on an annual basis to ensure that noheading “Potential Post-Employment Compensation.” The severance plans induce or encourage excessive risk-taking by its participants.apply

Role of Management:    The Committee has delegated

to the Company’s senior human resources executive responsibility for administering the executive compensation program. During 2011, thekey employees as defined by Section 409A. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, senior human resources executive, as well asseverance plan arrangements are not considered in determining other senior executives, made recommendations to the Committee regarding executive compensation actions and incentive awards. They serve as a liaison with the Independent Compensation Consultant, providing internal data on an as-needed basis so that the Independent Compensation Consultant can provide comparative analyses to the Committee. In 2011, the Company’s human resources, finance and legal departments supported the workelements of the Committee, provided information, answered questions and responded to requests.compensation.

Policies

The Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant:    In 2011, the Committee retained Pay Governance, LLC (“Pay Governance” or the “Compensation Consultant”) as its independent compensation consultant. Pay Governance provides independent consulting services to support the Committee in fulfilling its obligations under its charter, the material terms of which are described beginning on Page 33. The Compensation Consultant also provided independent consulting services in support of the NominatingRisk and Governance Committee’s charter, including providing competitive data on director compensation.

The Compensation Consultant’s engagement leader provided objective expert analyses, assessments, research and recommendations for executive and non-executive employee compensation programs, incentives, perquisites, and compensation standards. In this capacity, the Compensation Consultant provided services that related solely to work performed for and at the direction of the Committee including analysis of material prepared by the Management for the Committee’s review. Additionally, the Compensation Consultant provided analyses to the Nominating and Governance Committee and the full Board of Directors on non-management director compensation. The Compensation Consultant provided no other services to the Company during 2011.

RECOUPMENT POLICYRisk Mitigation

In 2008,2013, the Company, upon the recommendation of the Committee, adopted a policy that provides for recoupment of performance-based compensation if the Board of Directors determines that a senior executive has engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that caused or otherwise contributed to the need for a material restatement of the Company’s financial results. In such a situation, the Board will review all compensation awarded to or earned by that senior executive on the basis of the Company’s financial performance during fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement. This would include annual cash incentiveCompensation and bonus awards and all forms of equity-based compensation. If, in the Board’s view, the compensation related to the Company’s financial performance would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, the Board will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek recoupment from that senior executive of any portion of such compensation as it deems appropriate after a review of all relevant facts and circumstances. The NEOs are covered by this policy.

EXECUTIVE STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

The Company maintains stock ownership guidelines for all of its executives, including the NEOs. The guidelines, which are described in greater detail on Pages 5 to 6 of this Proxy Statement, specify the desired levels of Company stock ownership and encourage a set of behaviors for each officer to reach the guideline levels. The approved guidelines require share ownership expressed as a multiple of base salary for all corporate officers. The guidelines for all Company executives are:

CEO

5 X Annual Base Salary

CFO and EVP

3 X Annual Base Salary

Senior Vice Presidents

2 X Annual Base Salary

Vice Presidents

1 X Annual Base Salary

In achieving these ownership levels, shares owned outright, Company restricted stock and RSUs, shares held in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, shares owned in the ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan, and “phantom” shares held in a fund that tracks an index of the Company’s stock in the deferred compensation plan are considered. As of the writing of this proxy statement, all NEOs either have met the guideline, or are expected to meet the guideline within the next two years.

BUSINESS RISK AND COMPENSATION

In 2011, thePersonnel Committee evaluated risk factors associated with the Company’s businesses in determining compensation structure and pay practices. The structure of the Board of DirectorDirectors’ Committees facilitates this evaluation and determination. During 2011,More specifically, during 2013, the Chair of the Compensation and Personnel Committee was a member of the Audit Committee and the Audit Committee Chair was a member of the Committee. This membership overlap provides insight into the Company’s business risks and affords the Compensation and Personnel Committee access to the information necessary to consider the impact of business risks on compensation structure and pay practices. Further, overall enterprise risk is considered and discussed at Board meetings, providing additional important information to the Compensation and Personnel Committee. The Chief Executive Officer and President, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, attend those portions of the Compensation and Personnel Committee meetings at which plan features and design configurations of the Company’s annual and long-term incentive plans are considered and approved.

Compensation across the enterprise is structured so that unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior is discouraged. Further, totalWe believe our executive compensation for senior officers is heavily weighted towardprogram appropriately balances risk with maximizing long-term compensation consistent with the Company’s compensation philosophy, which is focused on long-term value creation. This long-term weighting discourages behaviors that encourage short-term risks.

In such a situation, the Board will review all compensation awarded to or earned by that senior executive on the basis of the Company’s financial performance during fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement. This would include annual cash incentive and bonus awards and all forms of equity-based compensation. If, in the Board’s view, the compensation related to the Company’s financial performance would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, the Board will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek recoupment from that senior executive of any portion of such compensation as it deems appropriate after a review of all relevant facts and circumstances. The NEOs are covered by this policy.

Officer Share Ownership Guidelines

Ÿ Company officers

Required Executive Stock Ownership.    NEOs are required to own Company shares or share equivalents upwith a value equal to 5xa multiple of their base salary, dependingas discussed in more detail below. We believe this requirement aligns their interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders and also discourages behavior that is focused only on the level of the officer. Share ownership guidelines align executiveshort-term.

Ÿ

Prohibition Against Speculating in Company Stock and shareholder interests.Hedging.    The Company has a policy prohibitsprohibiting employees from hedging and speculative trading in and out of ITTthe Company’s securities, including prohibitions on short sales and leverage transactions, such as puts, calls, and listed and unlisted options.

Ÿ

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans.    ITT’s Board of Directors has authorized the use by executive officers of prearranged trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b5-1 permits insiders to adopt predetermined plans for selling specified amounts of stock or exercising stock options under specified conditions and at specified times. Executive officers may only enter into a trading plan during an open trading window and they must not possess material nonpublic information regarding the Company at the time they adopt the plan. Using trading plans, insiders can diversify their investment portfolios while avoiding concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material nonpublic information. Generally, under these trading plans, the individual relinquishes control over the transactions once the trading plan is put into place. Accordingly, sales under these plans may occur at any time, including possibly before, simultaneously with, or immediately after significant events involving the Company. Both new plans and modifications are subject to a mandatory “waiting period” designed to safeguard the plans from manipulation or market timing. All trading plans adopted by executive officers are reviewed and approved by the Company’s Legal Department.

CONSIDERATION OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATIONExecutive Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company typically closesmaintains stock ownership guidelines for all of its executive officers, including the windowNEOs. Executive officers have five years in order to meet the guidelines.

Share ownership guidelines for insidersofficers specify the desired levels of Company stock ownership and encourage a set of behaviors for each officer to tradereach the guideline levels. The guidelines specify expected share ownership levels expressed as a multiple of base salary, as set forth below. In achieving these ownership levels, shares owned outright, Company restricted stock and RSUs, shares held in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, shares owned in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, and “phantom” shares held in a fund that tracks an index of the Company’s stock in advancethe deferred compensation plan are considered.

To attain the ownership levels set forth in the guidelines, any restricted shares that become unrestricted and all shares acquired through the exercise of stock options will be held, except, in all cases, to the extent necessary to meet tax and forexercise price obligations.

Both the guidelines, and compliance with the guidelines, are monitored periodically. Company officers are afforded a reasonable period of time immediately following, earnings releases and Board and Committee meetings becauseto meet the Company and insiders may be in possession of material non-public information. The first quarter Committee meeting at which compensation decisions and awards are typically made for employees usually occurs during a Board meeting period, so stock option awards may occur at a time when the Company is in possession of material non-public information. The Committee does not consider the possible possession of material non-public information when it determines the number of non-qualified stock options granted, price of options granted or timing of non-qualified stock options granted. Rather, it uses competitive data, individual performance and retention considerations when it grants non-qualified stock options, restricted stock or RSUs and TSR Awards under the long-term incentive program.guidelines.

Non-qualified stock option awards and restricted stock awards or RSU Awards granted to NEOs, senior and other executives, and Directors are awarded and priced on the same date as the approval date. The Company may also award non-qualified stock options in the case

Considerations of a new employee. Again, these non-qualified stock option grants may be made at a time the Company is in possession of material non-public information related to the promotion or the hiring of a new employee or other matters. The Company does not time its release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensationTax and executive compensation decisions are not timed to the release of material non-public information.

CONSIDERATIONS OF TAX AND ACCOUNTING IMPACTSAccounting Impacts

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that the Company may deduct in any one year with respect to its Chief Executive Officer and the three other highest-paid NEOs, other than the Chief Financial Officer. There is an exception to the $1,000,000 limitation for performance-based compensation meeting certain requirements. Compensation attributable toOur AIP awards as well as awards under the Company’s AIP andour long-term incentive program are generally structuredintended to qualify as performance-based compensation deductible under Section 162(m).

However, the Compensation and Personnel Committee realizes that evaluation of the overall performance of the senior executives cannot be reduced in all cases to a fixed formula. There may be situations in which the prudent use of discretion in determining pay levels is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and, therefore, desirable. In those situations where discretion is used, awards may be structured in ways that will not permit them to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). The compensation of Mr. Loranger may not be fully deductible under these criteria. However, the Committee does not believe that such loss of deductibility would have any material impact on the financial condition of the Company.

The Company’s plans are intended to comply with Section 409A to the extent applicable, and the Company made amendments to the plans during 2008 in this regard. While the Company complies with other applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent applicable.

CEO Compensation Decisions

(1)Amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum payment levels, respectively, if an award payout is achieved under the Company’s AIP and TSI Bonus plans described on Pages 51 to 55.AIP. These potential payments are based on achievement of specific performance metrics and are completely at risk. The AIP target award is computed based upon the applicable range of net estimated payments denominated in dollars where the target award is equal to 100% of the award potential, the threshold is equal to 50% of target and the maximum is equal to 200% of target. Zero payment is possible for below threshold performance. Amounts for Ms. Ramos and Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, Pagano, and Nanda for the AIP reflect the threshold, target and maximum payment levels, in two segments, reflecting the 10-month pre-Separation AIP potential target payment and the two-month post-Separation potential target payment. The 10 month pre-Separation AIP potential target amount relates to a pro-rated portion of each of the NEO’s pre-Separation salary and the two-month post-Separation AIP potential target amount relates to a pro-rated portion of each of the NEO’s post-Separation salary.

The TSI target award, a one-time award related to the successful execution of the Separation, was computed based upon the applicable range of net estimated payments denominated in dollars where the target award was equal to 100% of the award potential, the threshold is equal to 50% of target and the maximum is equal to 100% of target. Zero payment was possible for below threshold performance.

 

(2)Amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum paymentunit levels, respectively, if an award payout is achieved under the Company’s TSR Plan forperformance unit awards. These potential unit amounts are based on achievement of specific performance metrics and are completely at risk. The performance unit target award is computed based upon the 2011-2013 performance period described on Pages 58applicable range of net estimated payments denominated in units where the target award is equal to 59. Each unit under the TSR Plan equals $1. Upon Separation, 10 months100% of the 36-month performance period were determined. At the conclusion of the Separation, the Committee reviewed the Company’s TSR performance over the completed TSR Award Period, and determined that the Company failed to reachaward potential, the threshold levelis equal to 50% of relative TSR performance. Therefore, no payments were earned ontarget and the completed portionmaximum is equal to 200% of the TSR Award Period. The pro-rated portion of awards covering the uncompleted period at the Separation date was converted to RSUs, as described on Pages 59 to 60.target.

 

(3)Amounts reflect the number of RSU awards granted in 20112013 to the NEOs.

(a)Reflects the grants of RSUs provided to the NEOs in March 2011. Numbers listed reflect the pre-Separation number of RSUs. For NEOs who continued employment with the Company after the Separation date, every one pre-Separation restricted share, RSU, and stock option was converted into 2.679201 post-Separation restricted shares, RSUs, and stock options.

(b)Reflects special Founders’ Grants made on November 7, 2011, to select members of the Executive team in connection with the Separation, as detailed on Pages 61 to 62. Ms. McClain and Messrs. Loranger and Melcher did not receive Founders’ Grants.

(c)Reflects RSUs granted in recognition of the uncompleted portion of the 2010-12 TSR Award Period, which will vest on December 31, 2012. Details of the conversion are provided on Pages 59 to 60.

(d)Reflects RSUs granted in recognition of the uncompleted portion of the 2011-13 TSR Award Period, which will vest on December 31, 2013. Details of the conversion are provided on Pages 59 to 60.

 

(4)Amounts reflect the number of non-qualified stock options granted in 20112013 to the NEOs.

(e)Reflects the grants of non-qualified stock options provided to the NEOs in March 2011. Numbers listed reflect the pre-Separation number of non-qualified stock options. For NEOs who continued employment with the Company after the Separation date, every one pre-Separation restricted share, RSU, and stock option was converted into 2.679201 post-Separation restricted shares, RSUs, and stock options. The strike price of every pre-Separation stock option was multiplied by 0.373246 to determine that option’s post-Separation strike price.

(f)Reflects special Founders’ Grants made on November 7, 2011 to select members of the Executive team in connection with the Separation, as detailed on Pages 61 to 62. Ms. McClain and Messrs. Loranger and Melcher did not receive Founders’ Grants.

(5)The stock option exercise price for non-qualified stock options granted in 20112013 was the closing price of ITT common stock on the date the non-qualified stock options were granted. These stock option grants and exercise prices reflect pre-Separation grant amounts.

 

(6)Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for TSR targetperformance unit awards, RSU awards, and non-qualified stock option awards granted to the NEOs in 2011.

(g)Because RSUs granted2013. A discussion of assumptions relating to stock option awards may be found in recognition ofNote 18 to the uncompleted portions of the 2010-12 and 2011-13 TSR Award Periods had no incremental grant date fair value, the grant date fair values for such awards are not reflectedConsolidated Financial Statements in the Stock Awards column in the Summary Compensation Table. As a result of the conversion of stock options that occurred with the Separation, as described on Page 61, a one-time option modification expense is included in this column as follows: Ms. Ramos, $334,686; Mr. Chicles, $128,555; Mr. Scalera, $36,780; Mr. Pagano, $164,019; Mr. Nanda, $71,554; Mr. Loranger, $2,219,751; Ms. McClain, $412,516; and Mr. Melcher, $47,115. These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the Stock Option Awards column. Because these modifications occurred after the original grants were made, they are not listed in this table.Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

ITT2013 Pension Benefits

Effective on October 31, 2011, all of the Separation date, all ITTCompany’s pension benefits described in this section were frozen, and the cumulative liability of these benefits was assumed by Exelis except forInc. All NEOs, other than Mr. Loranger’s Special Pension Arrangement, which is retained by the Company. All NEOsYeargin, participated in the plans described below, and remain eligible for frozen pension benefits under these plans.

ITT Salaried Retirement Plan.    Under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, participants had the option, on an annual basis, to elect to be covered under either a Traditional Pension Plan or a Pension Equity Plan formula for future pension accruals. The ITT Salaried Retirement Plan was a funded and tax-qualified retirement program. The plan is described in detail below.

While the Traditional Pension Plan formula paid benefits on a monthly basis after retirement, the Pension Equity Plan formula enabled participants to elect to have benefits paid as a single sum payment upon employment termination, regardless of the participant’s age. The Traditional Pension Plan benefit payable to an employee depended upon the date an employee first became a participant under the plan.

Traditional Pension Plan

A participant first employed prior to January 1, 2000, under the Traditional Pension Plan would receive an annual pension that would be the total of:

 

Ÿ

2% of his or her “average final compensation” (as described below) for each of the first 25 years of benefit service, plus

2% of his or her “average final compensation” (as defined below) for each of the first 25 years of benefit service, plus

 

Ÿ

1.5% of his or her average final compensation for each of the next 15 years of benefit service, reduced by

1.5% of his or her average final compensation for each of the next 15 years of benefit service, reduced by

 

Ÿ

1.25% of his or her primary Social Security benefit for each year of benefit service up to a maximum of 40 years.

1.25% of his or her primary Social Security benefit for each year of benefit service up to a maximum of 40 years.

A participant first employed on or after January 1, 2000, under the Traditional Pension Plan would receive an annual pension that would equal:

 

Ÿ

1.5% of his or her average final compensation (as defined below) for each year of benefit service up to 40 years, reduced by

1.5% of his or her average final compensation for each year of benefit service up to 40 years, reduced by

 

Ÿ

1.25% of his or her primary Social Security benefit for each year of benefit service up to a maximum of 40 years.

1.25% of his or her primary Social Security benefit for each year of benefit service up to a maximum of 40 years.

For a participant first employed prior to January 1, 2005, average final compensation (including salary and approved bonus or AIP payments)awards) is the total of:

 

Ÿ

The participant’s average annual base salary for the five calendar years of the last 120 consecutive calendar months of eligibility service that would result in the highest average annual base salary amount, plus

The participant’s average annual base salary for the five calendar years of the last 120 consecutive calendar months of eligibility service that would result in the highest average annual base salary amount, plus

 

Ÿ

The participant’s average annual pension eligible compensation, not including base salary, for the five calendar years of the participant’s last 120 consecutive calendar months of eligibility service that would result in the highest average annual compensation amount.

The participant’s average annual pension eligible compensation, not including base salary, for the five calendar years of the participant’s last 120 consecutive calendar months of eligibility service that would result in the highest average annual compensation amount.

For a participant first employed on or after January 1, 2005, average final compensation wasis the average of the participant’s total pension eligible compensation (salary, bonus and annual incentive payments for NEOs and other exempt salaried employees) over the highest five consecutive calendar years of the participant’s final 120 months of eligibility service.

As it applies to participants first employed prior to January 1, 2000, under the Traditional Pension Plan, Standard Early Retirement is available to employees at least 55 years of age with 10 years of eligibility service. Special Early Retirement is available to employees at least age 55 with 15 years of eligibility service or at least age 50 whose age plus total eligibility service equals at least 80. For Standard Early Retirement, if payments begin before age 65, payments from anticipated payments at the normal retirement age of 65 (the “Normal Retirement Age”) are reduced by 1/4one-fourth of 1%one percent for each month that payments commence prior to the Normal Retirement Age. For Special Early Retirement, if payments begin between ages 60-64, benefits will be payable at 100%. If payments begin prior to age 60, they are reduced by 5/12five-twelfths of 1%one percent for each month that

payments start before age 60 but not more than 25%

. For participants first employed from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004, under the Traditional Pension Plan, Standard Early Retirement was available as described above. Special Early Retirement was also available to employees who attained at least age 55 with 15 years of eligibility service (but not earlier than age 55). For Special Early Retirement, the benefit payable at or after age 62 would be at 100%; if payments commenced prior to age 62 they would be reduced by 5/12five-twelfths of 1%one percent for each of the first 48 months prior to age 62 and by an additional 4/12four twelfths of 1%one percent for each of the next 12 months and by an additional 3/12three-twelfths of 1%one percent for each month prior to age 57.

For participants first employed on or after January 1, 2005, and who retire before age 65, benefits may commence at or after age 55 but they would be reduced by 5/9five ninths of 1%one percent for each of the first 60 months prior to age 65 and an additional 5/18five eighteenths of 1%one percent for each month prior to age 60.

Pension Equity Plan

A participant under the Pension Equity Plan would receive a single sum pension that would equal the total accumulated percentage (as described below) times final average compensation (as defined above).

Total accumulated percentage is the sum of annual percentages earned for each year of benefit service. The percentage earned for any given year of benefit service ranges from 3%three percent to 6%six percent based on age:

 

Ÿ

Under age 30: 3% per year of benefit service

Under age 30: three percent per year of benefit service

 

Ÿ

Age 30 to age 39: 4% per year of benefit service

Age 30 to age 39: four percent per year of benefit service

 

Ÿ

Age 40 to age 49: 5% per year of benefit service

Age 40 to age 49: five percent per year of benefit service

 

Ÿ

Age 50 and over: 6% per year of benefit service

Age 50 and over: six percent per year of benefit service

In December 2007, effective January 1, 2008, the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan and the ITT Excess Pension PlansPlan were amended to provide for a three-year vesting requirement. In addition, for employees who were already vested and who were involuntarily terminated and entitled to severance payments from the Company, additional months of age and service (not to exceed 24 months) were to be imputed based on the employee’s actual service to his or her last day worked, solely for purposes of determining eligibility for early retirement.

The 20112013 Pension Benefits table on Page 84 of this Proxy Statement provides information on the pension benefits for the NEOs. Mr. Pagano participated under the terms of the plan in effect for employees hired prior to January 1, 2000. Mr. Loranger participated under the terms of the plan in effect for employees hired between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2004. Ms. Ramos, Mr. Chicles and Messrs. Chicles,Mr. Scalera and Nanda participated under the terms of the plan in effect for employees hired after January 1, 2005. The Traditional Pension Plan accumulated benefit an employee earned over his or her career with the Company is payable on a monthly basis starting after retirement. Employees may retire as early as age 50 under the terms of the plan. Pensions may be reduced if retirement starts before age 65. Possible pension reductions are described above. The Pension Equity Plan benefit can be received as a lump sum or an annuity following termination. Mr. Nanda has always participated in the Pension Equity Plan formula and Mr. Scalera participated in the Pension Equity Plan formula prior to 2011. All of the other NEOs have always participated only under the Traditional Pension Plan formula.

Benefits under this plan are subject to the limitations imposed under Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect as of December 31, 2011. Section 415 limits the amount of annual pension payable from a qualified plan. For 2011,2013, this limit is $195,000$200,000 per year for a single-life annuity payable at an IRS-prescribed retirement age. This ceiling may be actuarially adjusted in accordance with IRS rules for items such as employee contributions, other forms of distribution and different annuity starting dates. Section 401(a)(17) limits the amount of compensation that may be recognized in the determination of a benefit under a qualified plan. For 2011,2013, this limit is $245,000.$250,000.

ITT Excess Pension Plan.    Since federal law limits the amount of benefits paid under and the amount of compensation recognized under tax-qualified retirement plans, the Company maintained the unfunded ITT Excess Pension Plan, which is not qualified for tax purposes, until the SeparationSpin Transaction date. The purpose of the ITT Excess Pension Plan was to restore benefits calculated under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan formula that cannot be paid because of the IRS limitations noted above. The Company did not grant any extra years of benefit service to any employee under either the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan or the ITT Excess Pension Plan.

Special Pension Arrangement. Mr. Loranger’s employment agreement provided for a non-qualified pension arrangement if Mr. Loranger’s employment was terminated on or after June 28, 2009, or under certain circumstances prior to that date. This arrangement provided for an annuity paid

monthly over Mr. Loranger’s life, calculated as a percentage of his average annual compensation for the five years in which his compensation was highest, with percentage ranges from 38%, if Mr. Loranger was age 57 upon the date of his termination, to 50%, if Mr. Loranger was at least age 60 on the date of his termination. Any amount so determined would be reduced by the amount to which Mr. Loranger was entitled to under the pension plans of ITT or the plans of any prior employer. Quantification of Mr. Loranger’s pension arrangements, as of December 31, 2011, is provided in the 2011 Pension Benefits table below and the arrangements are further discussed in Mr. Loranger’s Post-Employment Compensation description on Page 89.

Mr. Loranger resigned with good reason from the Company on October 31, 2011. During 2011, he received two months of benefit payments under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. In accordance with Section 409A, Mr. Loranger will not receive any payments from the ITT Excess Pension Plan or his Special Pension Arrangement until May 2012.

No pension benefits were paid to any of the other named executivesNEOs in the last fiscal year.

PEP value is projected from December 31, 2010 to age 65 using an interest crediting rate of 1.55% for both the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan and the ITT Excess Pension Plan

(1)Except for Mr. Loranger’s special pension arrangement, all benefit obligations for plans shown in this table were transferred to Exelis as of October 31, 2011.

(3)Mr. Loranger retired on October 31, 2011, and commenced benefits on November 1, 2011, under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. His benefits under the ITT Excess Pension Plan and the Special Pension Arrangement are payable on May 1, 2012, which is six months after separation from service in compliance with Section 409A and shall be paid monthly thereafter.

ITT2013 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan

ITT Deferred Compensation Plan.    The ITT Deferred Compensation Plan is a tax deferral plan. The ITT Deferred Compensation Plan permits eligible executivesemployees with a base salary of at least $200,000 to defer between 2% and 90% of their AIP payment. The AIP amount deferred is included in the Summary Compensation Table under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. Withdrawals under the plan are available on payment dates elected by participants at the time of the deferral election. The withdrawal election is irrevocable except in cases of demonstrated hardship due to an unforeseeable emergency as provided by the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred will be unsecured general obligations of the Company to pay the deferred compensation in the future and will rank with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.

Participants can elect to have their account balances allocated into one or more of the 25 phantom investment funds (including a phantom Company stock fund) and can change their investment allocations on a daily basis. All plan accounts are maintained on the accounts of the Company and investment earnings are credited to a participant’s account (and charged to corporate earnings) to mirror the investment returns achieved by the investment funds chosen by that participant.

A participant can establish up to six “accounts” into which AIP paymentaward deferrals are credited and he or she can elect a different form of payment and a different payment commencement date for each “account.” One account may be selected based on a termination date (the “Termination Account”) and five accounts are based on employee-specified dates (each a “Special Purpose Account”). Each Special Purpose and Termination Account may have different investment and payment options. Termination Accounts will be paid in the seventh month following the last day worked. Changes to Special Purpose Account distribution elections must be made at least 12 months before any existing benefit payment date, may not take effect for at least 12 months, and must postpone the existing benefit payment date by at least five years. Additionally, Termination Account distribution elections are irrevocable.

The table below shows the annual rate of return for the funds available under the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan, as reported by the administrator for the calendar year ended December 31, 2013.

ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees.    Since federal law limits the amount of compensation that can be used to determine employee and employer contribution amounts ($245,000 in 2011) to the tax-qualified plan to $255,000 in 2013, the Company has established and maintains a non-qualified unfunded ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees to allow for employee and Company contributions based on base salary in excess of these limits. Employee contributions under this plan were limited to 6% of base salary. All balances under this plan are maintained on the books of the Company and earnings are credited to the accumulated savings under the plan based on the earnings in the Stable Value Fund in the tax-qualified plan. Benefits will be paid in a lump sum in the seventh month following the last day worked.

Effective January 1, 2012, the plan was amended to no longer permit employee contributions.

POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION FOR MR. LORANGER

Mr. Loranger resigned with “good reason” as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer on the date of Separation. This resignation took place on October 31, 2011. Prior to his resignation, Mr. Loranger entered into an agreement with the Company that provides Mr. Loranger with (a) a one-time payment of $999,452, and (b) a cash severance benefit of $5,520,000, payable over a 24-month period and commencing no earlier than six months after the termination date. The Company agreed to provide health and welfare benefits to Mr. Loranger over this 24-month time period, and stock options, restricted stock and RSUs that were granted to Mr. Loranger prior to the termination date would continue to vest and options would continue to be exercisable as under their original terms and conditions over this time period as well. Mr. Loranger shall also be eligible to receive retiree medical coverage pursuant to the terms of his separation agreement. Additionally, Mr. Loranger shall receive all retirement benefits accrued during his employment with the Company, including his special Pension Arrangement and his other retirement benefits accrued and earned in the Company’s qualified and nonqualified retirement plans. These terms are consistent with the terms of his Employment Agreement at the time of resignation.

In addition to those payments, Mr. Loranger received the following:

Ÿ

Payments of a pro-rated amount of TSR Awards such that the completed portion of each performance period was reviewed and scored. All three of the TSR Award cycles in progress at the time of Mr. Loranger’s resignation was determined to earn 0% of the target award amount.

Ÿ

Payments of a pro-rated amount of TSR Awards such that the uncompleted portion of performance period was paid at target, with payments made based on the original vesting schedule. These target payment amounts and dates are as follows:

POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION FOR MS. MCCLAIN AND MR. MELCHER

On the Separation date, Ms. McClain assumed the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of Xylem, and Mr. Melcher assumed the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of Exelis. Both resigned from the Company on this date. Neither Ms. McClain nor Mr. Melcher received any compensation as a result of their resignations from the Company.

POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATIONPotential Post-Employment Compensation

The Potential Post-Employment Compensationpotential post-employment compensation tables on Pages 93 to 102 reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the NEOs except Mr. Lorangernamed who continue to be employed by the Company in the event oftheir employment termination under several different circumstances,is terminated, including voluntary termination, termination for cause, death or disability, termination without cause or termination in connection with a change of control. Ms. Ramos, and Messrs.Mr. Chicles, Mr. Scalera, Mr. Pagano and NandaMr. Yeargin are covered under the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan or Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan (applicable to situations involving a change of control) described on Pages 90 to 91in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Post-Employment Compensation—Change of this Proxy Statement.Control Arrangements.”

The amounts shown in the potential post-employment compensation tables are estimates, (or the estimated present value of the ITT Excess Pension Plan which may be paid in continuing annuity

payments), assuming that the triggering event was effective as of December 31, 2011,2013, including amounts that would be

earned through such date (or that would be earned during a period of severance), and where applicable, are based on the ITT closing price of the Company’s stock price on December 30, 2011,31, 2013, the last trading day of 2011,2013, which was $19.33.$43.42.

The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from ITT. For purposes of calculating the estimated potential payments to our officers under the ITT Excess Pension Plan, as reflected in the tables below, we have used the same assumptions described in the notes to the 2011 Pension Benefits table on Page 84, except as noted in the footnotes.Company.

Payments and Benefits Provided Generally to Salaried Employees.    The amounts shown in the tables in this section do not include payments and benefits to the extent these payments and benefits are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. These include:

 

 Ÿ 

Accrued salary and vacation paypay.

 

 Ÿ 

Regular pension benefits under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan (frozen as of Separation)the date of the Spin Transaction and transferred to Exelis Inc.). ITT participants do not accrue any additional service credit under the plan in the event of a termination. See the section “Elements of Compensation—Post-Employment Compensation” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for more information.

Ÿ

Pension benefits under the ITT Excess Pension Plan (frozen as of the date of the Spin Transaction and transferred to Exelis Inc.). The plan balances for the ITT Excess Pension Plan were shown as part of this analysis in previous years, but with the transfer of the plan balances to Exelis Inc. in 2011, ITT participants do not accrue any additional service credit under the plan in the event of a termination. See the section “Elements of Compensation—Post-Employment Compensation” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for more information.

 

 Ÿ 

Health care benefits provided to retirees under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, including retiree medical and dental insurance (if eligible as of Separation)the date of the Spin Transaction). Employees who terminate prior to retirement are eligible for continued benefits under COBRACOBRA.

 

 Ÿ 

Distributions of plan balances under the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees and amounts currently vested under the ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees.

No perquisites are available to any NEOs in any of the post-employment compensation circumstances. With respect to the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, frozen benefits under such plan may be deferred to age 65, but may become payable at early retirement age, or earlier for benefits under the Pension Equity Plan formula. Note that employeesEmployees of ITTthe Company do not have to terminate employment in order to receive their benefits from the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan since the plan is now sponsored by Exelis.Exelis Inc. Benefits under the ITT Excess Pension Plan must commence as soon as possible following termination but generally would be payable seven months following such date, retroactive to the date the ITT Excess Pension Plan benefit became payable. Benefits for the ITT Excess Pension Plan will not generally be payable prior to termination.

Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.    During 2013, the Compensation and Personnel Committee approved changes to the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. The changes were intended to bring ITT’s practices in line with current market practices. Some of the changes made to the plan were reducing the overall cash severance benefits provided to executives from a maximum of two years to one year, providing participants with outplacement assistance for 12 months and eliminating the vesting of equity awards during the severance period. These changes were effective July 1, 2013 for new participants. The existing program will sunset over two years for executives, upon which time those individuals will be covered under the new terms.

The amount of severance pay under this plan depends on the executive’s base pay and years of service. The amount will not exceed 24 months of base pay or be greater than two times the executive’s total annual compensation during the year immediately preceding termination.

Ÿ

Prior to July 1, 2013: The amount will not exceed 24 months of base pay or be greater than two times the executive’s total annual compensation during the year immediately preceding termination.

Ÿ

Beginning July 1, 2013 (two-year grace period for current executives): The amount will not exceed 12 months of base pay.

The Company considers these severance pay provisions appropriate transitional provisions given the job responsibilities and competitive market in which senior executives function. The

No severance is provided for termination for cause, because the Company believes employees terminated for cause should not receive additional compensation. No severance is provided when an executive accepts or refuses comparable employment because the executive has the opportunity to receive employment income from another party under comparable circumstances.

In addition, the Company’s obligation to continue severance payments stops if the executive does not comply with the Company’s Code of Corporate Conduct. We consider this cessation provision to be critical to the Company’s emphasis on ethical behavior. The Company’s obligation to continue severance payments also stops if the executive does not comply with non-competition provisions of the ITT Severance Policy or Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. These provisions protect the integrity of our businesses and are consistent with typical commercial arrangements. Ms. Ramos, and Messrs.Mr. Chicles, Mr. Scalera, Mr. Pagano and NandaMr. Yeargin are covered under this plan.

If a covered executive receives or is entitled to receive other compensation from another company, the amount of that other compensation could be used to offset amounts otherwise payable under the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. During the severance payment period, the executive will have a limited right to continue to be eligible for participation in certain benefit plans. Severance pay will start within 60 days following the covered executive’s scheduled termination date.

Ms. Ramos.    Under the terms of Ms. Ramos’ employment agreement, should Ms. Ramos be terminated by the Company other than for cause, Ms. Ramos is entitled to a severance benefit equal to 24 months of base salary and target AIP award, subject to the Company’s severance policies. The information under the heading “CEO Compensation and Employment Agreement” and the Potential Post-Employment Compensation table for Ms. Ramos below provides additional information.

Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.    This plan provides two levels of benefits for covered executives, based on their position within the Company. The Compensation and Personnel Committee considered two

levels of benefits appropriate based on the relative ability of each level of employee to influence future Company performance. (SeniorSenior Vice Presidents receive the higher level and certain Vice Presidents the second level).level. Under the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan, if a covered executive is terminated within two years of a change of control or in contemplation of a change of control event that ultimately occurs or if the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason within two years of a change of control, he or she would be entitled to:

 

 Ÿ 

Any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus (AIP payment)award), unreimbursed expenses and employee benefits, including vacationvacation;

 

 Ÿ 

Two or three times the current base salary and target annual incentive as of the termination datedate;

 

 Ÿ 

Continuation of health and life insurance benefits at the same levels for two or three yearsyears;

 

 Ÿ 

A lump-sumlump sum payment equal to two or three times the highest annual base salary rate during the three years preceding termination or an acceleration event times the highest percentage rate of the Company’s contributions to the ITT Salaried Investment andCorporation Retirement Savings Plan and the ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees, such paymentpercentage rate not to exceed 3.5% per yearyear; and

 Ÿ 

One year of outplacement.outplacement assistance.

Ms. Ramos and Messrs. Chicles, Scalera, Pagano and NandaAll of the NEOs are all covered at the highest level of benefits. Ms. Ramos is entitled to a cash payment upon severance, as described on Page 66, which payment may be delayed, if required by Section 409A.

Ms. Ramos.    Under the Ramos Letter agreement, should Ms. Ramos be terminated by the Company other than for cause, Ms. Ramos is entitled to a severance benefit equal to twenty-four monthsChange of base salary, subject to the Company’s severance policies.

The Potential Post-Employment Compensation tables on Pages 93 to 102 of this Proxy Statement provide additional information.

CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTSControl Arrangements

The payment or vesting of awards or benefits under eachcertain of the plans listed below would beare accelerated solely upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company. The reasons for the change of control provisions in these plans are to put the executive in the same position he or she would have been in had the change of control not occurred. Executives then can focus on preserving value for shareholders when evaluating situations that, without change of control provisions, could be personally adverse to the executive. There would be a change of control of the Company if one of the following acceleration events occurred:

1. A report on Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC disclosing that any person, other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary, had become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock

1.A report on Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC disclosing that any person, other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary, had become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.

2. A person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary purchased the Company’s shares in connection with a tender or exchange offer, if after consummation of the offer the person purchasing the shares is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock

2.A person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary purchased the Company’s shares in connection with a tender or exchange offer, if after consummation of the offer the person purchasing the shares is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.

3. The shareholders of the Company approved, and the Company fully executed:

3.The shareholders of the Company approved, and the Company fully executed:

(a) Any consolidation, business combination or merger of the Company other than a consolidation, business combination or merger in which the shareholders of the Company

(b)Any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

4.A majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company changed within a 12-month period, unless the election or nomination for election of each of the new Directors by the Company’s shareholders had been approved by two-thirds of the Directors still in office who had been Directors at the beginning of the 12-month period or whose nomination for election or election was recommended or approved by a majority of Directors who were Directors at the beginning of the 12-month period.

immediately prior to the merger would hold 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company or the surviving corporation of the merger and would have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation that they held in the Company immediately prior to the merger

(b) Any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company

4. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company changed within a 12-month period, unless the election or nomination for election of each of the new Directors by the Company’s stockholders had been approved by two-thirds of the Directors still in office who had been Directors at the beginning of the 12-month period or whose nomination for election or election was recommended or approved by a majority of Directors who were Directors at the beginning of the 12-month period

5. Any person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary became the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.

5.Any person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary became the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.

Pre-2005 awards and benefits will be paid if the 20% threshold described above is reached. For awards or benefits earned since January 1, 2005, payment of awards or benefits would be made if a person other than the Company, its subsidiaries or any employmentemployee benefit plan sponsored by the Company becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.

Certain of the plans listed below contain a “double trigger” provision, whereby no benefits will be paid to an executive unless both a change of control of the Company has occurred, and there has been a specified change in the employment status of the executive within a period of time following the change of control. For example, under the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan, if a covered executive is terminated within two years of a change of control or in contemplation of a change of

control event that ultimately occurs or if the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason within two years of a change of control, he or she would be entitled to the severance benefits provided pursuant to that plan.

Beginning with the Company’s annual grant cycle in March 2014, all long-term incentive awards (performance units, RSUs and stock options) will also now include the double trigger provision, operating in the same fashion as the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. This change reflects a best pay practice and still provides competitive benefits in the event that an executive’s employment is terminated due to a change of control of the Company.
