Material Changes
On July 30, 2013, the Board of Directors approved amendments to seven specific compensatory plans, including the 2004 Deferred Compensation Plan, Supplemental Life Plan, Supplemental Early Retirement Plan, Supplemental Pension Plan, Incentive and Performance Plan, 2010 Cash Long-Term Incentive Plan, and the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. The material changes include:
- Administrative Updates: Plan names were updated to reflect the Company's current corporate name.
- Governance: Responsibility for plan management was explicitly assigned to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
- Regulatory Compliance: Language regarding Section 457A of the Internal Revenue Code was removed, as it is no longer applicable following the Company's conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation during its initial public offering.
- Deferred Compensation Specifics: The 2004 Deferred Compensation Plan now allows participants to make distribution elections every three years. Language regarding 401(k) matching contributions was removed as no such contributions currently exist.
