Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Conrad K. Harper, a director of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG), has requested permission from the Board of Directors to retire effective December 31, 2012. Mr. Harper will attain age 72 in December 2012 and under our retirement policy, directors who have never been employees of the PSEG group of companies may not serve as directors beyond the annual meeting of stockholders following their 72nd birthday. If, however, the Corporate Governance Committee and the Board determine that there is good cause to extend a director’s board service, a director may be re-nominated following the age of 72 but in no event beyond the age of 75. In accordance with the by-laws of PSEG, the number of directors will be reduced by one effective upon Mr. Harper’s retirement. Mr. Harper’s retirement is not the result of any disagreement with PSEG on any matter relating to PSEG’s operations, policies or practices.
