Approval of Tier III Post-65 Retiree Program
Effective November 6, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors, based on the
recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved and adopted a new Tier
III Post-65 Retiree Program to provide certain benefits concerning the
continuation of health insurance coverage to certain corporate officers who meet
its requirements. The "Tier III Retirees" covered by this program will include
CBL officers of the level of Senior Vice President and above, who retire at age
65 or above after the program's effective date and:
• have been employed by CBL and/or its affiliates or predecessors for a
total of 40 or more years prior to their date of retirement;
• are participating in the CBL group medical insurance plan on the date of their retirement; and
• no longer have a "current employment status" with CBL.
For purposes of the third requirement listed above, in addition to including retirees who are no longer providing services to CBL in any capacity, retired officers will be considered to no longer have a "current employment status" for purposes of program eligibility notwithstanding the fact that they (i) may continue in any part-time capacity with CBL or (ii) may continue to provide services to CBL under any consulting agreement or similar agreement.
Program benefits for each eligible Tier III Retiree (and his or her spouse who
is insured by CBL's health insurance plan on the date of the retirement of the
Tier III Retiree) are as follows:
• for an initial period of five (5) years from the date of the Tier III
Retiree's retirement, the Tier III Retiree and his or her covered spouse
will be entitled to continue to participate in the CBL group medical
insurance plan at no cost to the Tier III Retiree and/or his or her
covered spouse; and
• the Tier III Retiree and his or her covered spouse will be entitled to continue participation in the CBL group medical insurance plan (as such may be amended, revised or modified from time to time and as available to then-active employees of CBL) following his or her retirement, but with the Tier III Retiree and his or her covered spouse having to pay the full cost for such coverage (i.e., equivalent to the then-prevailing COBRA rate) following the expiration of five (5) years from the date of the Tier III Retiree's retirement.
Any tax obligations imposed on the Tier III Retiree as a result of the benefit under this program will be the sole responsibility of the Tier III Retiree (and his or her spouse, if applicable). Subject to certain requirements for advance notice to participants, the Company may terminate the Tier III Post-65 Retiree Program at any time.
Currently, named executive officers Charles B. Lebovitz, John N. Foy and Augustus N. Stephas would meet the criteria to be covered under the Tier III Post-65 Retiree Program, should they retire from their employment with the Company. The projected benefit to any covered Tier III Retiree under the program will depend on the then-current costs of participation in CBL's group medical insurance plan on the date of his or her retirement from CBL.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Tier III Post-65 Retiree Program is qualified by reference to the full text of the program, which is filed as an exhibit to this report.
