Named Executive Officer Compensation and Related Matters

Mr. Forsythe, Ms. Bateman, Mr. McDill, and Ms. Hartsfield participate in the Account Balance SERP, which is a non-qualified account based plan that provides an annual contribution of 25%, which percentage is established by the Board of Directors for participants who are members of the Company’s Management Committee, of the participant’s total annual earnings (base salary and incentive payment under our Annual Incentive Plan) into a notional supplemental retirement account. The Account Balance SERP is open only to employees of the Company selected by the Board, in its discretion, to participate in the plan. In addition to receiving an annual pay credit at the end of each calendar year in their account balance equal to a percentage of each participant’s total annual earnings, each participant receives an interest credit to participant’s account balance at the end of each plan year. A participant is eligible to receive a distribution of their supplemental benefit under the plan upon retirement, which is defined as a voluntary termination from employment with the Company that constitutes a separation from service after the participant has completed at least three years of participation in the plan and has attained age 55.
