Material Changes
On June 30, 2018, Genpact International, Inc. approved the adoption of the Genpact LLC Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, effective July 1, 2018. This represents a material change in the compensatory arrangements for certain officers and highly compensated employees.
Guidance, Outlook, and Plan Details
- Eligibility: The plan targets a select group of management, including the CEO, CFO, and other U.S.-based named executive officers or highly compensated employees.
- Deferral Limits: Participants may defer 1% to 80% of base salary and 1% to 100% of qualifying bonus compensation.
- Vesting: Participant deferrals are 100% vested immediately. Discretionary employer contributions are subject to a two-year vesting schedule (50% at one year, 50% at two years).
- Payout Terms: Distributions occur on fixed dates no earlier than two years after the plan year or upon separation from service, payable as a lump sum or installments over up to 15 years.
- Risks and Obligations: Deferred compensation represents an unsecured obligation of the Subsidiary. A rabbi trust was established to hold assets, including life insurance policies, to finance these obligations, though these assets remain subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency.
