On November 18, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Board) of CoreLogic, Inc. (the Company) approved amendments to the Companys Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (the Executive Plan), Management Supplemental Benefit Plan (the Management Plan) and Deferred Compensation Plan.
The Executive Plan was primarily amended to close the Executive Plan to new entrants and to freeze benefits as of December 31, 2010. As a result, compensation earned after 2010 shall not be taken into account in determining eligible compensation under the Executive Plan and services after 2010 shall not be recognized, except for vesting purposes. In addition, the Executive Plan was amended as follows:
| a Proration Factor (as defined in the Executive Plan), was added such that benefits under the Executive Plan are subject to proration based on the executives years of credited service as of December 31, 2010; |
| a provision was added entitling the beneficiary of an executive who dies (a) while serving as an executive or (b) after a Separation from Service (as defined in the Executive Plan), but prior to commencement of payment of any vested retirement income benefit, to payments equaling 50% of the executives retirement benefit payable over the beneficiarys lifetime or for a maximum of 20 years if the beneficiary is other than a spouse/domestic partner; and |
| the change of control provisions were amended to provide that a change of control means any one of the following: (a) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company as a result of which the Companys stockholders immediately prior to the merger or consolidation own less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity; (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Companys assets or the complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (c) a change in the composition of the Companys Board over a two-year period as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors (as defined in the Executive Plan); or (d) the acquisition or accumulation by any person or group, subject to certain limited exceptions, of beneficial ownership of at least 30% of the Companys voting securities. In addition, upon a change of control, if the executive incurs an involuntary Separation from Service from the Company without Good Cause (as defined in the Executive Plan) after a change of control, then the executive will be 100% vested in his or her benefits under the Executive Plan as if the executive had attained normal retirement date on the date of Separation from Service from the Company. |
The amendments to the Management Plan are consistent with the summary of the material amendments to the Executive Plan described above. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Executive Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Amendment No. 1 to the Management Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
The Deferred Compensation Plan was amended, among other things, to permit the Company to make contributions on behalf of participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan in amounts equal to the amount of discretionary matching contributions the participant would have received under the Companys 401(k) Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan) for the applicable plan year based on deferrals under the 401(k) Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan as if the limits in Internal Revenue Code (the Code) Section 401(a)(17) did not apply and to restore any Code Section 401(k) matching contributions that are not available due to failure of the 401(k) Plan to pass nondiscrimination testing. Such contributions shall be subject to the same distribution elections as the participants other deferral amounts for the plan year in which such contributions are earned or if no such elections are made, on the participants payment date. The Deferred Compensation Plan was also amended to permit the Company to make additional contributions on behalf of participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan in the Companys sole discretion. The Company is permitted to impose vesting or other conditions with respect to any such contributions. The Deferred Compensation Plan was further amended to provide that participant deferrals may not exceed 80% of the participants eligible compensation. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Deferred Compensation Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.
The Company will make discretionary contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan on behalf of certain executive officers of the Company who are not eligible to participate in the Executive Plan or the Management Plan in amounts ranging from 18% to 32% of the executive officers eligible annual base salary for a period of 7 years, with such contributions vesting on the earlier of 5 years from the date of each contribution or age 62. With respect to the Companys Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Anthony S. Piszel, the Company intends to contribute 32% of Mr. Piszels 2010 annual base salary or approximately $208,000 to the Deferred Compensation Plan in 2010.
