Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Other Events, Fina


Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At a meeting of the Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (the "Company") Board of Directors held on May 5, 2009, the Company's Board of Directors approved the structure, specific performance measures, and targets for the 2009-2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") for executive officers, which delivers 100 percent of its value in performance shares. Fifty percent of the performance shares are based on the Company's total shareholder return compared to all other publicly traded electric and combination utilities, and the other 50 percent of performance shares are based on the Company's three-year performance compared to predetermined operational measures. The operational measure selected for the 2009-2011 cycle is the restoration of the Company's corporate credit rating to investment grade status. The payout targets remain the same as the 2008-2010 three-year cycle and are as follows: Chief Executive Officer $250k, Senior Vice President $90k and Vice President $60k. Depending on performance, the payout potential is 0-1.5 times target with dividends invested over the three-year performance cycle.

A copy of the 2009-2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A 10.18.
