Evenmore incredible, the Packers have survived during the current era,permeated by free agency and the NFL salary cap. And, thanks inlarge part to Brown Countys passage of the 2000 Lambeau Field
referendum, the club will remain solvent and highly competitive wellinto the future due to its redeveloped stadium.
Fans have supported the team financially on several occasions,including five stock sales: 1923, 1935, 1950, 1997 and 2011.
To protect against someone taking control of the team, the articles ofincorporation prohibit any person from owning more than 200,000shares.

AT A GLANCE
PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
MURPHY
MARK
Mark Murphy, possessor of extensive experience in pro-fessional football and sports administration, is in his sixthyear as the Packers President and CEO.
Under Murphys guidance, the organization continues torank as one of the NFLs premier franchises, with highly suc-cessful operations both on and off the field. On the field, theteam has compiled a 58-30 overall record (.659), made fourstraight playoff trips, captured two consecutive division ti-tles and earned a victory in Super Bowl XLV. Off the field, theclub continues to perform well in its business efforts, whichallows the organization to support football operations. Thefan experience at Lambeau Field, a top priority for the orga-
nization, continues to be ranked among the best in sports.It was a direction both Murphy and the organization envi-sioned when Murphy was elected by the Packers Board ofDirectors as the franchises 10th Chief Executive Officer onDec. 3, 2007. He began his work with the organization aspresident-elect on Jan. 1, 2008, and then formally took overon Jan. 28, 2008.
I am honored to have been selected and very apprecia-tive of this tremendous opportunity, Murphy said the day ofhis election. The Packers are one of the great franchises inall of professional sports, with a rich history and incrediblefan support. These are successful times for the Packers. Onthe field theyre performing well, and off the field, theyrein great shape, too. I look forward to being a part of that
continued success.Murphy, who holds a law degree and an MBA in finance,brought a unique and highly qualified background to his roleas head of one of the NFLs flagship franchises, first drawingfrom a deep understanding and appreciation of the gamethat comes from an eight-year playing career with the Wash-ington Redskins. Later, he served a combined 16 years asdirector of athletics at Colgate University and NorthwesternUniversity, and was an assistant executive director of theNFL Players Association and a trial attorney with the U.S.Department of Justice.
In addition to his playing career and work with the NFLPlayers Association, Murphy had maintained his ties to theNFL through his work on the Commissioners Player Adviso-
ry Committee (1994-2002) as well as the NFL Youth FootballCommittee (2002-12). Additionally, his NFL experience nowincludes Super Bowl wins as a player (XVII, 1982) and as aCEO (XLV, 2010), believed to be the first such achievementin NFL history.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, recognizing the uniqueexperience and skills Murphy brought to the NFL as thePackers CEO, in 2008 appointed him to the NFLs Manage-ment Council Executive Committee, the NFL owners com-mittee whose responsibility was to serve as the bargainingteam during negotiations with the NFL Players Associationwhich resulted in a new, 10-year Collective BargainingAgreement in 2011. The position has allowed Murphy to in-crease his involvement and contributions at the league level,
ensuring the organization has a voice in NFL matters.Marks rare blend of experiences makes him integral tothe future of the Packers and the NFL, said Goodell whenappointing Murphy. His accomplishments as an NFL player,his work with the NFLPA, and now his leadership of thePackers, provide a unique perspective to the league and alsoto the players. Hes very effective in discussions with NFLPAexecutives. Mark is a bright and thoughtful individual whounderstands what needs to get done to create a system that
benefits all sides for years to come. He is very reasonableand wants whats best for fans, the game and players, aswe all do.
In 2012, Goodell added to Murphys NFL-level involvementby naming him to the important Competition Committee,the group composed of team executives and coaches thatstudies all aspects of the game and recommends rules andpolicy changes to NFL clubs. Goodell also placed Murphy on
the NFL owners new Health and Safety Committee.Upon joining the Packers, Murphy broadened his knowl-edge of the franchise, its operations and its standing in thecommunity by meeting with employees, shareholders, fansand members of the Board of Directors, as well as manycommunity groups.
Among his first initiatives was to update the organizationsstrategic plan, a process involving all the leadership posi-tions of the organization, including the Executive Committeeand football operations. The process created core objectivesto serve as a backdrop for all key business decisions. Ina move to enhance those objectives, Murphy restructuredthe management of the organization, which included creat-ing a new senior-leadership staff overseeing administration,
finance, football operations and sales and marketing. Thestructure reflected the growth the organization has experi-enced in recent years and gives broader coverage acrossall operations with more people involved on a senior-man-agement level.
Murphy also is directing the organizations master plan in-volving Lambeau Field, the Lambeau Field Atrium, the prac-tice facilities and property the organization owns adjacentto the stadium. Lambeau Field and the Atrium currently are

gameday atmosphere for each NFL team, the experience of see-ing the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field ranked first.

ries: affordability & food, tailgating, team quality, atmosphereand accessibility.
For all the glitz and money the NFL exudes nowadays, thepoll summarized, footballs heart is still on that frozen tundra,where tough guys grapple with each other while fans warmthemselves on cold bleachers with hot chocolate and full-throated cheering. And that is still the essence of Lambeau.
THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ORGANIZATION
undergoing a $286.5 million, five-year expansion and reno-vation that includes a new distributed-audio sound system(2011), two new HD video boards and a new Bellin HealthGate on the north end of the stadium (2012), and approxi-mately 7,000 additional seats in the south end zone servedby the Shopko Gate (2013). The Atrium phase includes alarger Oneida Nation Gate (2013), new football facilities

More than 268,000shares were sold during the offering, from Dec. 6, 2011,through Feb. 29, 2012, with more than 250,000 new share-holders joining the Packers family.

service to Packers fans.Murphy also has worked to increase the number of outsideevents utilizing Lambeau Field, including a Kenny Chesneyconcert in June 2011, the venues first major concert sinceits redevelopment; and LZ Lambeau in May 2010, a welcomeback for Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans. Additionally in thecommunity, Murphy has ensured the organization remainsa strong community partner, with a charity impact of $6 mil-lion in the past year.
Inside the organization, Murphy continues to grow and de-velop the teams human resources, with new programs foremployees such as leadership development.

Prior to his tenure at Northwestern, Murphy served asdirector of athletics at Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y.(1992-2003), the school from which he graduated in 1977.During his 11 years at the helm, the university experienced

In 2003, the year after Murphys departure toNorthwestern, the team made it to the championship game;the achievement of that squad a non-scholarship program remains one of Murphys proudest moments.
Colgates other teams experienced success as well, withmens basketball, womens soccer, womens volleyball,womens softball and mens ice hockey teams making NCAATournament appearances. The school also achieved gradua-tion rates among the highest for student-athletes in DivisionI during Murphys tenure.

He had many leadership traits that I admired and tried toincorporate into my own leadership style, said Murphy. Hehad a very natural way about him with the way he relatedto people, and he tried to be accessible. He was a very ef-fective communicator, too, as most great leaders are. Andwhen he worked with you, he was very fair and sincere. Allthose skills and traits fueled his awesome ability to motivatehis teams.
