Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhibits
Executive Retirement Plan Amendments
On December 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of Motorola, Inc. (the "Company")
authorized amendment to the Motorola Elected Officers Supplementary Retirement
Plan (the "EOSRP") and the Motorola Supplemental Pension Plan (the "MSPP"). On
this date, commensurate with the Board of Director's decision to freeze the
Motorola Pension Plan (as described below under Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K), the
Board of Directors also authorized the amendment of the EOSRP (which uses the
Motorola Pension Plan retirement benefits as an offset) and the MSPP (which is
an excess benefit plan with respect to certain executive's Motorola Pension Plan
retirement benefits), effective March 1, 2009, to freeze all future benefit
accruals and compensation increases under those plans for all individuals who
are participants under those plans as of February 28, 2009. Additionally, the
MSPP was further amended to freeze any future participation in the MSPP as of
January 1, 2009.
For more details, please refer to the executed amendments attached as Exhibits
10.1 and 10.2 respectively hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
Voluntary Compensation Reductions
In addition, Motorola Co-CEOs Greg Brown and Sanjay Jha will voluntarily take a
25 percent decrease in base salary in 2009 and forego 2008 bonuses under the
Company's annual cash incentive plan ("Annual Incentive Plan"). In the first
quarter of 2009, the Compensation and Leadership Committee has agreed to make a
grant of restricted stock units to Dr. Jha with a value equal to: $2.4 million
less the amount of cash that would have been payable to Mr. Brown under the
Annual Incentive Plan had he not foregone his annual cash incentive. The
restricted stock units will vest in two equal installments on the first
anniversary of the grant and on October 31, 2010. The press release announcing
these matters is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized amendment
to the Motorola Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") and the Motorola 401(k) Plan
(the "401(k) Plan"). On this date, the Board has determined that:
• effective March 1, 2009, all future benefit accruals and compensation
increases under the Pension Plan shall automatically cease for all
individuals who are participants under the Pension Plan as of February 28,
2009, but further allowing such participants to continue to earn vesting
credit towards their Pension Plan benefit on and after March 1, 2009 if not
already fully vested; and
• effective January 1, 2009, the Company matching contributions provided under the 401(k) Plan shall be suspended until subsequent Board action in the future re-activates contributions, if any, made by the Company to the 401(k) Plan.
For more details, please refer to the executed amendments attached as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 respectively hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
