This excerpt taken from the DVN DEF 14A filed Apr 28, 2008. PENSION BENEFITS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
We maintain three defined benefit retirement plans in which our
named executive officers may participate:
The following table shows the estimated present value of
accumulated retirement benefits as provided under the Defined
Benefit Plan and the SRIP to the named executive officers. All
named executive officers are or were participants in the SRIP,
therefore BRP benefits are not included in the table below. SRIP
benefits vest after 10 years of service. Participants who
voluntarily terminate their employment with less than
10 years of service or who are terminated for cause lose
their SRIP benefits and are instead paid under the BRP. Amounts
payable under the SRIP or the BRP are reduced by the amounts
payable under the Defined Benefit Plan so there is no
duplication of benefits. Retirement benefits are calculated
based upon years of service and final average
compensation. Final average compensation consists of the
average of the highest three consecutive years
compensation out of the last 10 years. Under the SRIP and
BRP, compensation includes base salary, bonus, overtime and
401(k) and Section 125 deferrals. The definition of
compensation under the Defined Benefit Plan is the same as the
definition under the SRIP and BRP except nonqualified deferred
compensation is excluded and compensation is limited by Code
compensation limits.
