On February 25, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dynegy Inc. (“Dynegy” or the “Company”) approved the terms of an agreement with David W. Biegler, a director of the Company, which will set forth the terms of his service as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in the capacity of an independent contractor (the “Independent Contractor Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Independent Contractor Agreement, which will be effective on March 12, 2011, Mr. Biegler will not be eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans or programs of the Company or any of its affiliates, with the exception of his continued participation in the Dynegy Director’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Directors. In his role as interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Biegler will receive payment of a daily fee of $4,150 per day, plus expenses, for each day that he primarily devotes to providing service to the Company. Such payment will be in lieu of any meeting fees that would otherwise be payable as a result of meetings of the Board or its committees that are held on such days of service.
On February 25, 2011, the Board also approved the payment of a fee of $4,150 per day, plus expenses, to Patricia A. Hammick in her role as Chairman of the Board for each day that she primarily devotes to providing service to the Company.
The same fee of $4,150 per day, plus expenses, will be paid to each director who, at the specific request of the Chairman of the Board, provides assistance to the Company that is in addition to the level of service to Dynegy that would ordinarily be performed in the capacity as a member of the Board or any committee thereof. Any such payments will be in lieu of any meeting fees that would otherwise be payable as a result of meetings of the Board or its committees that are held on such days of service
