This excerpt taken from the ANLY DEF 14A filed Apr 9, 2008. Deferred Compensation Plan The Company's deferred compensation plan (also referred to by the Company as the "Restated Special Executive Retirement Plan" or "Restated SERP," 30 hereinafter the "Plan") is unfunded and provides that the Company shall credit amounts to participants' company contribution accounts at the rate of 15% or 5% of the participant's base salary. Participants also may contribute up to 50% of base compensation and up to 100% of bonus compensation payable to the participants during a plan year. Although the Plan is unfunded, the terms of the Plan provide that in the event of a change of control, the Company must, immediately prior to the effective date of the change of control, contribute sufficient funds to a trust to provide for payment of all benefits due to participants under the terms of the Plan. Earnings on company and participant contributions are compounded annually, at a rate equal to the 10-year Treasury Bill rate in effect as of the January 1st of each year plus 1%, 2% or 3%, as determined by the Board of Directors and communicated to participants from time to time. Such interest adjustments continue until all amounts credited to the participants' company contribution and participant contribution accounts have been distributed according to the participant's distribution election and the terms of the Plan. In fiscal years 2006 and 2007, the rate used for calculating earnings was the 10-year Treasury Bill rate in effect on January 1 of the applicable year, plus 2%. In fiscal years 2007 and 2006, the applicable interest rate was 6.68% and 6.37%, respectively. After termination of employment for any reason, participants are eligible to receive installment payments or lump-sum payments of the accrued value of their accounts depending on whether the participants' distribution election specifies a date for distribution or a lump sum distribution upon termination. If the Company determines that the participant is a "specified employee" as defined in Code Section 409A as of the date of the participant's separation from service, however, payment of the participant's account cannot be made or commence earlier than six months after the date of the participant's separation from service. During fiscal year 2007, each of the executives (except Mr. LaVelle) was a participant in the Plan. Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Steichen and Ms. Davenport participated at a company contribution rate of 15% of base compensation while Mr. Souders was eligible to participate at a company contribution rate of 5% of base compensation. During fiscal year 2006, Mr. Steichen and Ms. Davenport were participants at the same level as in 2007, and Mr. Baker participated at a company contribution rate of 20% of base compensation. The amount of contribution and interest for each named executive officer participant appears in columns (h) and (i) of the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 17. |
