On December 10, 2014, our Compensation & Benefits Committee approved amendments to The Dun & Bradstreet Career Transition Plan, to be effective January 1, 2015. The changes were primarily to (i) eliminate the 50% reduction in remaining severance pay when the participant secures employment during the salary continuation period, and (ii) guarantee 52 weeks of severance for each executive with an annual salary of $300,000 or more (whereas previously, executives with fewer than 10 years of service would be entitled to either 40 or 48 weeks of severance), as part of a simplification and consolidation of the plan’s severance schedule in line with market practice.
