PROXY STATEMENT
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board
of Directors of the Company to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June
13, 2006, and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. Proposals 1 and 2 will be
presented at the Meeting by management.
VOTING PROCEDURES; GENERAL INFORMATION
With regard to Proposal 1, the form of proxy permits votes for or withholding of votes as to
each nominee for director, and permits votes for, against, or abstention with regard to Proposal 2.
If the enclosed form of proxy is properly executed, returned, and not revoked, it will be voted in
accordance with the specifications, if any, made by the shareholder and, if specifications are not
made, will be voted FOR the nominees named in this Proxy Statement to the Companys Board of
Directors, and FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys
independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2006. If your shares are held by your
broker or other nominee, often referred to as in street name, you will receive a form from your
broker seeking instructions as to how your shares should be voted. If you are a registered
stockholder, you may vote telephonically or electronically through the Internet by following the
instructions included with your proxy card. If your shares are held in street name and you do not
issue instructions to your broker, your broker may vote your shares in its discretion on routine
matters, but may not vote your shares on non-routine matters. The election of directors and the
ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm are both
routine matters. Therefore, your broker or nominee has discretionary authority to vote your shares
on such matters absent specific instructions from you.
It is not expected that any matter not referred to herein will be presented for action at the
Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Meeting, including, without
limitation, a motion to adjourn the Meeting to another time and/or place for the purpose of, among
other things, permitting dissemination of information regarding material developments relating to
any of the Proposals, or soliciting additional proxies in favor of the approval of any of the
Proposals, the persons named on the accompanying proxy card will vote the shares represented by
such proxy upon such matters in their discretion, and proxies will be deemed to have voted FOR any
adjournment proposal if such proposal to adjourn is made by the Company. Should the Meeting be
reconvened, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as such proxies would have been voted when
the Meeting was originally convened, except for the proxies effectively revoked or withdrawn prior
to the time proxies are voted at such reconvened meeting.
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. Proxies may be solicited by
directors, officers, or other employees of the Company in person or by telephone or mail. In
addition, the Company has retained Georgeson Shareholder to assist in the solicitation. The
Company will pay Georgeson Shareholder approximately $7,500, plus out of pocket expenses for their
services. The Company requests that brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and
fiduciaries forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of the Companys
Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share (the Common Stock), held of record by such persons, and
the Company will reimburse such brokers and other fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred when the solicitation materials are forwarded. On or about April 27, 2006, the
Company will commence mailing this Proxy Statement, the enclosed form of proxy, and the attached
Notice to holders of its Common Stock.
Shareholders who sign proxies have the right to revoke them at any time before they are voted
by filing with the Secretary of the Company at P.O. Box 240000, Huntsville, AL 35824 an instrument
revoking the proxy, by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the
Meeting and voting in person.
2
The close of business on April 17, 2006 has been fixed as the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. A
complete list of our shareholders will be available for examination at our offices in Huntsville,
Alabama during normal business hours for a period of ten days prior to the Meeting.
QUORUM; REQUIRED VOTES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On the record date for the Meeting, there were 29,348,092 shares of Common Stock outstanding
and entitled to vote at the Meeting held by approximately 4,618 shareholders of record. The
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Companys Common Stock as of the record date
must be present in person or be represented by proxy to constitute a quorum and act upon the
proposed business. Failure of a quorum to be represented at the Meeting will necessitate an
adjournment or postponement and will subject the Company to additional expense.
Proposal 1 discussed in this Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of
the votes cast at the Meeting. Proposal 2 discussed in this Proxy Statement requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares represented at the Meeting
and entitled to vote thereon. Votes are counted by the Companys transfer agent. Holders of our
Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. The Companys certificate of incorporation and
bylaws contain no provisions concerning the treatment of abstentions and broker non-votes. In
accordance with Delaware law, neither abstentions, withheld votes nor broker non-votes are
considered as voting for or against a particular matter. However, while abstentions and broker
non-votes will be included in the determination of the presence of a quorum at the Meeting, broker
non-votes are not considered entitled to vote. Accordingly, neither abstentions nor broker
non-votes will have an effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. Abstentions will have the same effect
as a vote cast against Proposal 2, and broker non-votes will have the effect of reducing the number
of affirmative votes required to achieve a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote on
such matter.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote:
§ |
|
FOR the nominees named in this Proxy Statement; and |
§ |
|
FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as
the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for
fiscal 2006. |

Director Qualifications
The Companys director nominees are recommended to the Board of Directors by a Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee which is composed solely of independent directors. You may access a
copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees charter on the investor relations
section of the Companys website at www.intergraph.com.
The Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines contain membership criteria that apply to
nominees for the Companys Board of Directors. The Companys Board of Directors and its Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee have also adopted a procedure for the evaluation of director
candidates (the Nominee Procedures) that contain certain minimum qualifications for candidates
(including those candidates recommended by the Companys shareholders). The Companys Corporate
Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review
the results of the annual performance evaluation of the Board and its Committees, and the
qualifications of potential director candidates in accordance with the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committees Charter and the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines. The
consideration of a candidate as a director will include the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committees assessment of the individuals background, skills and abilities, and whether such
characteristics are consistent with the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines and fulfill the
needs of the Board at that time. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will be
responsible for reviewing shareholder proposals with respect to director nominations.
The Nominee Procedures provide that candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors,
including those recommended by shareholders in compliance with the Companys certificate of
incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, are required to be submitted to the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committees Chair with as much biographical information as is available and a
brief statement of the candidates qualifications. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee will consider whatever factors it deems appropriate in its assessment of a candidate;
however, at a minimum, a candidate must in the Committees judgment:
|
§ |
|
be able to represent the interests of the Company and all of its shareholders and not be
disposed by affiliation or interest to favor any individual, group or class of shareholders
or other constituency; |
|
|
§ |
|
meet the minimum qualifications for directors set forth in the Corporate Governance
Guidelines and fulfill the needs of the Board of Directors at that time; and |
|
|
§ |
|
possess the background and demonstrated ability to contribute to the Boards performance
of its collective responsibilities, through senior executive management experience,
relevant professional or academic distinction, and/or a record of relevant civic and
community leadership. |
In addition to these minimum qualifications, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
may also consider whether the candidate:
|
§ |
|
is of the highest ethical character and shares the core values of the Company as
reflected in the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Companys Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics; |
|
|
§ |
|
has a reputation, both personal and professional, consistent with the image and
reputation of the Company; |
|
|
§ |
|
is highly accomplished in the candidates field; |
|
|
§ |
|
is an active or former chief executive officer of a public company or a technology
company or is a leader of another complex organization; |
|
|
§ |
|
has relevant expertise and experience, and would be able to offer advice and guidance to
the Chief Executive Officer based on that expertise and experience; and |
|
|
§ |
|
has the ability to exercise sound business judgment. |
4
Process for Identifying Candidates
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to identify candidates for membership
on the Companys Board of Directors through conversations with members of the Board of Directors,
senior management, a professional search firm and others. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee also considers nominees proposed by the Companys shareholders in accordance with the
provisions contained in the Companys certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, and
consistent with the Nominee Procedures. Pursuant to the Companys bylaws, any shareholder may
nominate a person for election to the Companys Board of Directors at the Companys Annual Meeting
of Shareholders, provided that the nomination is received by the Secretary of the Company not less
than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. Each notice submitted in this manner must comply with the Companys
bylaws and must include the name and address of the nominee(s) and all other information with
respect to the nominee as required to be disclosed in the proxy statement for the election of
directors under applicable rules of the SEC, including the nominees consent to being named as a
nominee and to serving as a director, if elected. Additionally, the nominating shareholder must
provide his or her name and address as it appears in the stock records of the Company and the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such shareholder.
Evaluation of Candidates
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all candidates nominated in
accordance with the processes described above. The Chair of the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee may preliminarily assess a candidates qualifications and suitability, working
with support staff and seeking Board input, and report such assessment as promptly as practicable
to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. When feasible, the Chair of the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee will interview candidates whom the Chair believes are likely to
meet the criteria for Board membership as part of the preliminary assessment process. The report
may be made to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at a meeting of the Committee or
informally to each Committee member between meetings.
If it is the consensus of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that a candidate
is likely to meet the criteria for Board membership and fulfill the needs of the Board at that
time, the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or other representative of the
Board will advise the candidate of the Committees preliminary interest and, if the candidate
expresses sufficient interest, will arrange interviews of the candidate with one or more members of
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and request such additional information from the
candidate as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems appropriate. The Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the candidates qualifications, the Committees
assessment of the individuals background, skills and abilities, and whether such characteristics
are consistent with the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines and fulfill the needs of the
Board at that time, and such other factors as it deems appropriate in order to confer and reach a
collective assessment as to the qualifications and suitability of the candidate for Board
membership. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines that the candidate is
suitable and meets the criteria for Board membership, the candidate may be invited to meet with
senior management of the Company, both to allow the candidate to obtain further information about
the Company and to give management a basis for input to the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee regarding the candidate. On the basis of its assessment, and taking into consideration
input from senior management, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will formally
consider whether to recommend the candidates nomination for election to the Board of Directors.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Company has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code of Conduct) that applies to
all of the Companys employees, officers and directors. The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to,
among other things, provide written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and
to promote honest and ethical conduct; full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure
in reports and documents that the Company files with the SEC and other public communications by the
Company; compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; prompt internal
reporting of violations of the Code of Conduct; and accountability for adherence to the Code of
Conduct. Each director and executive officer is required to read and certify annually that he or
she has read, understands and will comply with the Code of Conduct.
5
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SECs related rules, the Company is required to
disclose whether it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Companys principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons
performing similar functions. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers
are bound by the Companys Code of Conduct which contains provisions consistent with the SECs
description of a code of ethics.
A copy of the Companys Code of Conduct can be obtained from the investor relations section of
the Companys website at www.intergraph.com. The Company intends to disclose any legally required
amendments to, or waivers from, the Code of Conduct with respect to its directors and officers on
the investor relations section of the Companys website at www.intergraph.com.
Communications with Members of the Board

Companys directors, including the presiding director or the chair of any of the committees of the
Board of Directors, by writing to such director(s) c/o Intergraph Corporation, P. O. Box 240000,

Board Member Attendance at Annual Meetings
The Company strongly encourages each member of the Board of Directors to attend the Annual
Meetings of Shareholders. All of the Companys directors attended the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders held in 2005.
BOARD COMMITTEES AND ATTENDANCE
The Board of Directors and its Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committees meet periodically as meetings are deemed necessary. During the year ended December 31,
2005, the Board of Directors held 10 meetings, the Audit Committee held 6 meetings, the
Compensation Committee held 10 meetings, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held
5 meetings. All current directors were present for more than 75% of the aggregate Board and
committee meetings for the periods during 2005 in which they served.
Each member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees is
independent within the meaning of the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee consists of Mr. Cardin (Chair),
Mrs. Green, Dr. Greenwood, and Mr. Lee. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Cardin
qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the applicable rules and regulations of
the SEC. The Board of Directors has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets
the additional independence and other qualifications applicable to directors serving on audit
committees. The Compensation Committee consists of Dr. Greenwood (Chair), Mr. Twomey, Mr. Bills
and Mr. Cardin. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Mrs. Green (Chair),
Mr. Lee, Mr. McDonald, Mr. Twomey and Mr. Bills. Each committees responsibilities are set forth
in its charter, each of which has been approved by our Board of Directors. A copy of each
committees charter is available on the investor relations page of the Companys website at
www.intergraph.com. In addition, a copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
The primary purpose of the Compensation Committee is to oversee management compensation,
including CEO compensation, and the Companys equity incentive plans. Additional information
regarding the functions performed by the Compensation Committee and the determination of management
compensation is included in the Report of the Compensation Committee provided below and in its
charter.
6
The primary purpose of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to consider and
recommend nominees for director, including those recommended by shareholders of the Company, and to
oversee the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines and other corporate governance policies and
practices, assist the Board of Directors to enhance its performance, and lead the Board in its
annual performance evaluation of the Board and its committees. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committees responsibilities are more particularly described in its charter.
Information regarding the purpose and functions of the Audit Committee is set forth in the
Report of the Audit Committee provided below and in its charter.
Generally, an executive session of non-employee directors is held after each regularly
scheduled Board meeting and other times as deemed appropriate. The executive sessions are led by
the Chairman of the Board (Mr. McDonald) or the presiding director pursuant to and as further
described in the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Companys officers,
directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Companys equity
securities, if any, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers,
directors, and greater-than-ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms and any amendments thereto furnished to the
Company, or on written representations that no forms were required, the Company believes that
during the year ended December 31, 2005, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its
officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were met, other than one late
report for each of our executive officers as a result of administrative errors.
PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Compensation of Directors
Directors who are also employees of the Company did not receive additional compensation for
their service as directors. Compensation for non-employee directors for 2005 included an annual
retainer of $25,000 for serving as a director, as well as an additional retainer of $7,500 for
serving as the chair of the audit committee and $5,000 for serving as the chair of any other
committee of the Board. The foregoing retainers were payable in cash or, at the election of the
director, in restricted stock or restricted stock units (RSUs). The directors electing to
receive RSUs were additionally offered limited deferral rights with respect to the receipt of
vested RSUs.
Compensation for 2005 also included Board and committee meeting attendance fees of $1,000 per
meeting, respectively. In addition, 1,500 shares of restricted stock will be granted to each new
non-employee director on the date such person is elected to serve on the Board, and each
non-employee director will receive an annual equity compensation award in the form of 2,300 shares
of restricted stock upon his or her reelection. The restricted stock and RSU awards, as the case
may be, are issued pursuant to the Companys 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and vest on the one year
anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the shares of restricted stock and/or RSUs will
become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the
award agreements) or the termination of the directors service by reason of death or disability.
The foregoing compensation for our non-employee directors will continue to apply for 2006.
Employment Contracts
Mr. Wise holds an employment agreement with the Company that provides him a fixed base salary,
cash bonuses, stock options, and restricted stock awards. Mr. Wises employment agreement was last
amended in December of 2005, is effective until May 27, 2008, and automatically extends for one
year periods on each subsequent anniversary unless either party gives 90 days written notice. It
may be terminated at any time with proper notice. The termination provisions of this contract
provide for severance benefits of up to 200% of his base salary, 200% of his target bonus for the
year in which termination occurs, and fully paid health insurance benefits for two years following
the date of termination. Mr. Wises employment agreement was previously amended in 2004 to provide
for the receipt of an award of 85,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2002 Stock Option
Plan in exchange for Mr. Wises agreement to forego a stock option award otherwise due to him
pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement. No severance beyond salary and benefits
through date of termination shall be paid for resignation without good reason or termination for
cause.
In the event of a change in control where Mr. Wise is terminated without cause or resigns
for good reason, he is also entitled to additional benefits of 250% of his base salary, 250% of his
target bonus and standard health insurance benefits for two (2) years, and all stock options
granted to Mr. Wise pursuant to the agreement will immediately vest and all restrictions relating
to restricted stock awards made pursuant to the agreement will automatically lapse in the event of
a change in control. In addition, Mr. Wise will be indemnified by the Company for any excise tax
due under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of an amount sufficient to place Mr. Wise in
the same after-tax position as he would have been had no excise tax been imposed upon or paid by
him.
Mr. French holds an employment agreement with the Company that provides him a fixed base
salary, cash bonus opportunities, and the potential for restricted stock awards. The employment
agreement was amended as of December 19, 2005 with a term of one year, and automatically extends
for one year renewal terms on each subsequent anniversary of the initial effective date unless
either party gives 90 days written notice prior to the next renewal date. The employment agreement
may be terminated at any time by either party, provided that if Mr. French is prematurely
terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, Mr. French will receive severance benefits
equal to one times his base salary, a pro rata bonus for the year in which termination or
resignation occurs, and fully paid health insurance benefits for one year following the date of
termination. No severance beyond salary and benefits through the date of termination shall be paid
for resignation without good reason or termination for cause. Mr. Frenchs employment agreement
also provides that all stock options granted to Mr. French pursuant to the agreement will
immediately vest and all restrictions relating to restricted stock awards made pursuant to the
agreement will automatically lapse in the event of a change in control. Mr. Frenchs employment
agreement also
13
provides for a stay bonus in the event of a change of control whereby he will receive one times
his then-current salary and one half of his target bonus should he stay with the Company following
a change in control.
Mr. Colaluca, the Companys Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, holds an
employment agreement with the Company that provides him a fixed base salary, signing bonus, cash
bonuses and bonus opportunities, and restricted stock awards. The employment agreement was
effective as of October 3, 2005 for a term of one year, and automatically extends for one year
renewal terms on each subsequent anniversary of the initial effective date unless either party
gives written notice prior to the next renewal date. The employment agreement may be terminated at
any time by either party, provided however, that if Mr. Colaluca is prematurely terminated without
cause or resigns for good reason (after his initial term of employment), Mr. Colaluca will receive
severance benefits equal to one times his base salary, a pro rata bonus for the year in which
termination or resignation occurs, and fully paid health insurance benefits for one year following
the date of termination. No severance beyond salary and benefits through the date of termination
shall be paid for resignation without good reason or termination for cause. Mr. Colalucas
employment agreement also provides that all restrictions relating to restricted stock awards made
pursuant to the agreement will automatically lapse in the event of a change in control.
Mr. Sallinger holds an employment agreement with one of the Companys European business
entities. The employment agreement provides him (in euros) a fixed base salary, a permanent
advance for travel expenses, a vehicle and related expenses. The contract is open-ended, but may
be terminated by either party giving a notice of six weeks prior to the end of a quarter. A
contract penalty equal to the last monthly salary may apply if the employment relationship is
terminated prematurely.
The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entireties by reference to the complete texts
of the employment agreements previously filed by the Company with the SEC.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Company has a standing Compensation Committee consisting of Dr. Greenwood (Chair), Mr.
Bills, Mr. Cardin and Mr. Twomey. No member of the Compensation Committee is or has ever been an
officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or had any relationship requiring
disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. There were no instances of Compensation Committee interlocks in 2005.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) is composed of four
independent directors.
Compensation Committee Charter and Objectives
In accordance with its charter, the Committee reviews annually and determines the individual
compensation and incentive arrangements (including any employment or severance agreements) for the
Companys executive officers and reviews compensation and incentive arrangements for other
officers. The Committee also administers the Companys equity compensation plans as directed by
the Board of Directors, reviews the compensation of directors and, in conjunction with the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, makes periodic recommendations to the Board
regarding appropriate compensation for service on the Companys Board and its committees.
Compensation Philosophy and Strategy
The Committee retained an outside compensation consultant to assist it with respect to
executive compensation. The Committee was responsible for the consultants selection, retention
and compensation arrangements. The Committee worked directly with the consultant and the
consultant reported directly to the Committee. The Committee held 10 meetings in 2005, many of
which included executive sessions without senior management present. In performing its duties, the
Committee considered presentations and analyses provided by its
14
compensation consultant, presentations and recommendations provided by the Companys Chief
Executive Officer (the CEO), their own business experience, and such other matters as they deemed
appropriate in their subjective judgment.
Together with its consultant, the Committee developed a compensation philosophy and strategy
intended to enable the Company to attract, motivate, and retain qualified officers and other key
employees of the Company and that reflected the particular circumstances of the Company and the
individual. The core elements of the Committees 2005 executive compensation philosophy and
strategy included consideration of:
|
|
|
compensation policies and practices at selected peer companies, generally comprised
of other computer software and services companies headquartered in the United States
and operating throughout the world; |
|
|
|
|
market positioning, with total compensation generally targeted between the
50th and 60th percentile for peer companies; |
|
|
|
|
a compensation mix reflecting a fixed base salary, plus variable opportunities for
short-term and long-term incentives; |
|
|
|
|
a performance orientation in the compensation practices and programs; and |
|
|
|
|
equity awards intended to better align the interests of executives and shareholders. |
2005 Executive Compensation
The core elements of 2005 executive compensation strategy include adjustments to base
salaries, an annual cash incentive opportunity based on Company, division level and/or individual
targets pursuant to the 2005 Cash Incentive Plan, and restricted stock awards pursuant to the 2004
Equity Incentive Plan as a long-term equity incentive.
In 2005, the Committee adopted an executive share retention policy that applies to all equity
awards granted in 2005 and thereafter, and generally requires officers and key employees to hold
50% of all shares from compensatory awards, net of taxes, for the lesser of three years or until
termination of employment. The Committee believes the share retention policy further aligns the
Companys long-term incentives with long-term shareholder value creation, lengthens the relevant
performance horizon with respect to long-term incentives and otherwise promotes long-term equity
ownership among the Companys officers and key employees.
Base Salaries
The consultant provided competitive market data compiled from (a) compensation surveys
selected by the consultant containing pay data for executive positions within software and services
companies of perceived comparable size and complexity to Intergraph and (b) proxy statements of a
custom group of peer companies. In determining appropriate salary adjustments the Committee
considered the executive officers base salaries, market data and analyses provided by its
consultant, the recommendations of the CEO, the performance of the individual, the individuals
potential to assume greater duties, and other factors deemed relevant by the Committee. In 2005,
the average initial base salary increase for our executive officers (other than the CEO) was
approximately 9%, with increases ranging from 4% to a maximum of 13%. The foregoing does not,
however, reflect additional salary increases related solely to certain promotions or changes in
roles subsequent to the initial executive compensation determinations by the Committee for 2005,
such as Mr. Frenchs promotion to Chief Operating Officer in April 2005.
Annual Cash Incentives
In 2005, a cash bonus opportunity was provided pursuant to the Companys 2005 Cash Incentive
Plan (the Cash Bonus Plan). Awards under the Cash Bonus Plan were intended to provide incentives
to members of management, including the executive officers, in the form of cash bonus payments for
achieving certain performance goals established for them. The performance awards were based upon
achievement of established operating income goals (on a Company and/or division level), as well as
personal business objectives (Individual Goals), in each case as determined by the Committee.
The Individual Goals were based on revenue and specified
15
management objectives and a specified weight was allocated to each component of the
participants corporate, division and/or Individual Goals under the Cash Bonus Plan based on the
officers designated management level.
Awards under the Cash Bonus Plan were based on a target bonus established by the Committee for
each participant. Participants were eligible to receive 100% of the target bonus if they achieved
each of the performance measures established for such participant. Target bonuses were set at or
below 100% of base salary for executive officers. Under the terms of the Cash Bonus Plan, actual
awards could range from zero to a maximum of 200% of the target bonus. However, no bonus awards
were to be paid unless a threshold level of Company and/or division level performance was achieved.
The Committee retained the right to use negative discretion in reducing, but not increasing, any
calculated awards under the Cash Bonus Plan.
Based on the performance of the Company, the applicable division and the respective plan
participants, together with such other factors as the Committee deemed appropriate, the average
executive officer award exceeded the target bonus by approximately 98.8%, primarily due to the
Companys operating income performance.
Long-Term Equity Incentives
Historically, the Company used incentive stock options as the primary long-term incentive
vehicle. In 2004, the Committee revisited this approach and determined to use restricted stock
awards for executive officers. The Committee continued this approach for 2005. The Committee
considered the presentations and analyses of its consultant and the recommendations of the CEO,
together with other factors such as the perceived impact of the restricted stock strategy in the
preceding year, the Companys progress with respect to its restructuring and realignment efforts,
the Companys operating performance, equity ownership by officers, the need to attract and retain
talent, the number of shares then available for awards of restricted stock and stock options under
the Companys 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), anticipated annual grant rates, peer
company practices, the performance of the executive officers, and the perceived value of the
proposed incentive.
Based on the foregoing, the Committee determined that restricted stock was the appropriate
form of long-term incentive for the Companys executive officers and certain other key employees
for 2005. During 2005, the Committee awarded an aggregate of 181,000 shares of restricted stock to
9 executive officers pursuant to the terms of the 2004 Plan. The shares granted to the executive
officers vest ratably over four years and immediately upon a change in control. The Committee also
approved awards of restricted stock to certain other corporate officers. In total, 413,913 shares
of restricted stock were granted in 2005. The resulting annual grant rate, as a percentage of the
Companys shares outstanding as of December 31, 2005, was 1.43%. The Committee believes this
annual grant rate is below the market median for comparable companies in the software and services
industry.
2005 CEO Compensation
CEO compensation is comprised of the same three core elements outlined above for other
executive officers salary, annual cash incentive and long-term equity incentive. In evaluating
CEO performance, the Committee used a structured evaluation process. The Committee expects to
conduct an evaluation of the CEO annually and to solicit input on a variety of dimensions from
multiple sources.
In 2005, base compensation of R. Halsey Wise as CEO was increased from $577,500 per annum to
$600,000 per annum on substantially the same bases as set forth above for other executive officers
and as reflected by his amended and restated employment agreement. Mr. Wise received a bonus of
$579,031 pursuant to the terms of the Cash Bonus Plan consistent with the factors described above
for other executive officers. Mr. Wise also received an award of 60,000 shares of restricted stock
pursuant to the 2004 Plan during 2005. The restricted stock award was determined in a manner
consistent with the factors described above for other executive officers.
Executive Compensation Tax Deductibility
Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
compensation paid by a publicly-held corporation to the chief executive officer and four other most
highly paid executive officers in excess of $1 million per year per officer is deductible only if
paid pursuant to qualifying performance-based
16
compensation plans approved by shareholders. Because individual compensation is based on a
number of factors described above, executive officer compensation that is not performance-based
within the meaning of the Code can exceed $1 million in any given year. While the Committee
considers the tax implications of its compensation decisions, the Committee believes its primary
focus should be to attract, motivate and retain qualified officers and other key employees of the
Company and that in some circumstances factors other than deductibility are more important in
determining appropriate executive compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in 2005, the
Committee determined that it would review its compensation practices to consider further the
advisability of making changes intended, among other things, to qualify additional compensation as
performance-based within the meaning of the Code.

Performance Graph
The following graph sets forth, for the five-year period ended December 31, 2005, a comparison
of the cumulative total shareholder return to the Companys shareholders with that of the Hemscott
Computer Software and Services Index (the Hemscott Group Index), and that of the Standard &
Poors 500 Composite Stock Index. The Company uses the Hemscott Group Index as the best
representation of the companies with which its business segments compete. The cumulative total
return for this index was provided to the Company by Hemscott, Inc. Total shareholder return for
each was determined by adding (a) the cumulative amount of dividends for a given year, assuming
dividend reinvestment, and (b) the difference between the share price at the beginning and at the
end of the year, the sum of which was then divided by the share price at the beginning of such
year. The graph assumes $100 was invested on January 1, 2000.

Report of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is composed of four independent directors as defined under the applicable
rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee oversees the
Companys financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is
directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent
auditors. Management has primary responsibility for the Companys financial statements and
reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. The independent auditors are
responsible for performing an independent audit of the Companys financial statements in accordance
with standards
20
established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, expressing an opinion as to the
conformity of such financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, auditing managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting and issuing a report thereon. A copy of the Audit Committees current charter may be
viewed on the investor relations page of the Companys website at www.intergraph.com.
In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed
the audited financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting
firm. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Companys financial statements
were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with
Audit Committees), as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90 (Audit Committee
Communications). In addition, the Audit Committee has received from the independent registered
public accounting firm the written disclosures required by the pronouncements of the Independence
Standards Board and discussed with them their independence from the Company and its management.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the independent auditors provision of non-audit
services to the Company is compatible with the auditors independence.
The Audit Committee met 6 times during 2005. The Audit Committee discussed with the Companys
internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The
Audit Committee met with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management
present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Companys internal
controls, the Companys progress in meeting the internal controls requirements under Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the overall quality of the Companys financial reporting.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended
that the Board of Directors include the Companys audited financial statements in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Members of the Audit Committee:
Richard W. Cardin, Chair
Linda L. Green
Lawrence R. Greenwood
Thomas J. Lee
The foregoing report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and
shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference
the proxy statement into any filing by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates
this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.
PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company and to perform other
accounting services, if appropriate, for the year ending December 31, 2006. Such appointment will
be presented to the shareholders for ratification at the Meeting. A representative of Ernst &
Young LLP is expected to be present at the Meeting to respond to questions from shareholders and
will be given the opportunity to make a statement if so desired.
Shareholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys independent
auditors is not required by the Companys Bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting
the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good
corporate practice, consistent with the recommendation of the Audit Committee. If the shareholders
fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that
firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the
21
appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if it
determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP for services provided during the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004 are presented below. The Company did not engage Ernst & Young LLP to perform financial
information systems design or implementation services during the year. Audit Fees include fees
associated with the annual audit, the review of the Companys quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, local
statutory audits performed in various international locations, and the audit of managements report
on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required under Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Audit-Related Fees primarily include fees associated with
the audits of the Companys employee benefit plans and the review of the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting, including services in connection with assisting the Company in
its compliance and obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and not
described under Audit Fees above. Tax Fees include fees associated with tax compliance, tax
advice, and tax planning, including expatriate tax services. All Other Fees include fees
associated with miscellaneous professional services.
The Board of Directors has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which, among other things,
requires the Audit Committee to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services to be
performed for the Company by its independent auditors. The Audit Committee has adopted a
pre-approval policy in order to ensure that the performance of audit and non-audit services by the
independent auditors does not impair the auditors independence. The policy provides for the
general pre-approval of specific types of services and gives guidance to management as to the
specific type of services that are eligible for pre-approval. The policy requires specific
pre-approval of all other permitted services. Requests or applications to provide services that
require separate approval by the Audit Committee are submitted by the Companys Chief Financial or
Chief Accounting Officer to the Audit Committee. During 2004 and 2005, all audit related services,
tax services and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The Companys Audit Committee has concluded the provision of non-audit services covered under
the caption All Other Fees and Tax Fees is compatible with maintaining the auditors
independence and concluded that the auditors independence was not impaired.

It is contemplated that the Companys 2007 annual meeting of shareholders will take place in
May 2007. Shareholders proposals will be eligible for consideration for inclusion in the proxy
statement for the 2007 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 if such proposals are received by the Company before the close of business on December 28,
2006. Notices of shareholders proposals submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 will
generally be considered timely (but not considered for inclusion in our proxy statement), pursuant

of this years Annual Meeting of Shareholders in the manner specified in the bylaws. For proposals
that are not timely filed, the named proxies will retain discretion to vote proxies that the
Company receives and will exercise authority in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of
Directors. For proposals that are timely filed, the named proxies will retain discretion to vote
proxies that the Company receives provided (1) the Company includes in its proxy statement advice
on the nature of the proposal and how the named proxies intend to exercise their voting discretion
and (2) the proponent does not issue a proxy statement. In order to curtail any controversy as to
the date on which a proposal was received by the Company, it is suggested that shareholders submit
their proposals by certified mail, return receipt requested.
OTHER
Management does not know of any other matters to be presented at the Meeting for action by
shareholders; however, if any other matters are properly brought before the Meeting or any
adjournment or postponement thereof, votes will be cast pursuant to the proxies in accordance with
the best judgment of the proxy holders with respect to such matters.

EXHIBIT A
As Amended on March 7, 2006
INTERGRAPH CORPORATION
Amended And Restated Audit Committee Charter
This charter governs the operations of the Audit Committee and the scope of its
responsibilities. The Audit Committee shall review and reassess this charter at least annually and
submit any recommended changes to the Board of Directors for its consideration. The Audit
Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors and shall be
comprised of at least three members of the Board of Directors, who as determined by the Board, are
independent and meet the other qualification standards set by federal and state legislation and
regulation, and the applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Each member shall be
able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Companys balance
sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. One member of the Audit Committee shall have
past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in
accounting, or any comparable experience or background which results in the individuals financial
sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer
or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee shall
consider whether one of its members qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The duties of the chair of the Audit Committee shall be
to call meetings of the Audit Committee and to preside at such meetings.
The Audit Committee shall assist the Board of Directors in overseeing the integrity of the
Companys financial statements and the financial reporting and accounting processes, the Companys
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the outside auditors qualifications and
independence, the performance of the internal and outside auditors, and the audits of the financial
statements of the Company. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to
maintain free and open communication between the Committee, the independent auditors, the internal
auditors, and management of the Company. In discharging its responsibilities, the Audit Committee
is empowered to investigate any matter with full access to all books, data, records, facilities,
and personnel of the Company. The Audit Committee shall have the power to retain independent
counsel and other advisors (including the Companys regular counsel or other advisors) at the
Companys expense and to pay ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that it
determines are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.
III. |
|
Oversight Responsibilities |
The Audit Committees oversight responsibility recognizes that the Companys management is
responsible for preparing the Companys financial statements and that the outside auditors are
responsible for auditing those financial statements. Additionally, the Audit Committee recognizes
that the Companys financial management, including the internal audit department, as well as its
outside auditors, have more knowledge and more detailed information regarding the Company and its
financial reports than do Audit Committee members; consequently, the Audit Committee is not
providing any expert or special assurance as to the Companys financial statements or any
professional certification as to the outside auditors work, and is not conducting an audit or
investigation of the financial statements nor determining that the financial statements are true
and complete or have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.
The directors serving on the Audit Committee of the Company shall have no greater standard of
liability in the performance of their duties than the standard of liability applicable to all
directors. Audit Committee members who are previously employed by the Company or who have special
training or experience in financial or audit matters shall have no greater duty or responsibility
as a result of such prior training services or experience. Members of the Audit Committee shall
have the full protection against personal liability for breach of fiduciary duties as set forth in
Article IX to the Certificate of Incorporation, adopted by the shareholders in the meeting of
April 23, 1987. In addition, members of the Audit Committee shall be entitled to be indemnified
against liability by the Company as provided in Articles VIII and IX of the Certificate of
Incorporation and Article Nine of the By-laws.
The following functions shall be the principal recurring activities of the Audit Committee in
carrying out its oversight duties and responsibilities. The functions are set forth as minimum
duties and responsibilities with the understanding that the Audit Committee may undertake
additional duties and responsibilities as the Board or the Audit Committee deems appropriate given
the circumstances. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee shall include all of the
responsibilities set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(2), (3), (4) and (5) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
|
|
The Audit Committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the outside auditors that the
outside auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall
be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, termination, evaluation and oversight
of the work of the outside auditors (including the resolution of any disagreements between management and the
outside auditors regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or
performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company, and the outside auditors shall report
directly to the Audit Committee. |
|
|
|
The Audit Committee shall discuss with the internal auditors and the outside auditors the overall scope and
plans for their respective audits including the adequacy of staffing and compensation. Also, the Audit
Committee shall discuss with management, the internal auditors and the outside auditors the adequacy and
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Further, the Audit Committee shall
meet separately with the internal auditors and the outside auditors, with and without management present, to
discuss the results of their examinations. |
|
|
|
The Audit Committee shall review and discuss with management and the outside auditors the annual audited and
quarterly unaudited financial statements, the Companys disclosures under Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, and the selection, application and disclosure of
critical accounting policies and practices used in such financial statements, and will review and discuss
with the principal executive and financial officers their certifications in and/or accompanying the related
report. The Audit Committee also shall review and discuss with the outside auditors the matters required to
be discussed by Statements of Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 61 and No. 90, as may be modified or
supplemented. The discussion of the financial statements and the related critical accounting policies and
practices shall occur prior to the public release of such financial statements and the discussion of the
related disclosure, including the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation, shall occur prior to the filing of the Form 10-Q or Form 10-K. Additionally, based on such
review and discussion, the Audit Committee shall consider whether to recommend to the Board that the audited
financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
|
|
|
The Audit Committee shall review and approve all related-party transactions as required by the rules of the
Nasdaq Stock Market or other applicable legal or regulatory requirement. |
|
|
|
The Audit Committee shall discuss with management and the outside auditors policies with respect to risk
assessment and risk management and the quality and adequacy of the Companys internal controls and processes
that could materially affect the Companys financial statements and financial reporting. The Audit Committee
shall review with the outside auditors any audit problems or difficulties and managements response. |
|
|
The Audit Committee shall: |
|
- |
|
establish hiring policies for employees or former employees of the outside auditors; |
|
|
- |
|
pre-approve all auditing services to be provided by the outside auditors; |
|
|
- |
|
pre-approve all permissible non-auditing services, including tax services, to be
provided by the outside auditors, subject to such exceptions as may be determined by the
Audit Committee to be appropriate and consistent with applicable legal or regulatory
provisions; |
|
|
- |
|
receive reports from the outside auditors regarding critical accounting policies and
practices, alternative treatments of financial information and generally accepted
accounting principles, and such other information as may be required by federal and
regulatory provisions; |
|
|
- |
|
receive from the outside auditors annually a formal written statement delineating all
relationships between the outside auditors and the Company consistent with Independence
Standards Board Standard No. 1, as may be modified or supplemented by such other standards
as may be set by law or regulation or the Nasdaq Stock Market rules or the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board; |
|
|
- |
|
discuss with the outside auditors in an active dialogue any such disclosed
relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor
and take, or recommend that the full Board take, appropriate action to oversee the
independence of the outside auditor; and |
|
|
|
|
ensure the rotation of the lead audit partner of the outside auditors and audit engagement
team partners as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange
Commission, and consider whether there should be regular rotation of the outside auditor
itself. |
|
|
The Audit Committee shall receive reports from the principal
executive and financial officers of the Company regarding their
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures and the Companys internal control over
financial reporting; regarding all significant deficiencies in the
design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
which could adversely affect the Companys ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial data and whether they have
identified for the outside auditors any material weaknesses in
internal controls; any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have a significant role
in the Companys internal control over financial reporting; and
whether there were significant changes in internal control over
financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the
date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. |
|
|
|
The Audit Committee shall establish procedures for the receipt,
retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company
regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing
matters and for the confidential, anonymous submission by
employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable
accounting or auditing matters. |
|
|
|
The Audit Committee shall review periodically with the Companys
legal counsel any pending legal or regulatory matters that could
reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the Companys
business or financial statements. |
Meetings
The Audit Committee shall meet at least four times annually and more frequently as necessary
or appropriate, including teleconferences when appropriate. Special meetings of the Audit
Committee may be called on one days notice by the Chairman of the Board or the Audit Committee
chair. The Audit Committee shall meet in separate executive sessions with the Companys Chief
Financial Officer and the independent auditors annually or as otherwise required by applicable law
or regulatory authority. A majority of the Audit Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the
Audit Committee shall act only on the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present at the
meeting. Attendance by the Chairman of the Board and by other members of management will be at the
invitation of the Audit Committee chair. The Audit Committee shall maintain minutes of all
meetings documenting its activities and recommendations to the Board. Unless the Board has
previously designated the Audit Committee chair, the members of the Audit Committee may designate a
chair by majority vote.
The Audit Committee and its members have complete access to management, recognizing that it is
expected that members will use judgment to be sure that this access is not distracting to the
business operations of the Company.
