On January 17, 2017, the Executive Compensation Committee of State Street Corporation’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan to eliminate the generally applicable annual defined contribution credits for the 2017 compensation year and for all subsequent compensation years. As participants in the plan, the amendment affects each of our current “named executive officers” identified for compensation disclosure purposes in our definitive proxy statement for our 2016 annual meeting of shareholders, except for Jeffrey N. Carp. Prior to the January 2017 amendment, the plan had provided all of our current named executive officers with an annual defined contribution retirement benefit. However, that benefit had been eliminated for each of the 2016 and 2015 compensation years, other than for Mr. Carp whose separately applicable defined contribution retirement benefits are specified in his previously disclosed employment arrangements. The plan also provides a frozen supplemental defined benefit component in which all of our named executive officers, other than Michael F. Rogers and Michael W. Bell, participate but for which no further credits are being made. This component was not subject to the January 2017 amendment. The plan is described in our definitive proxy statement for our 2016 annual meeting of shareholders.
Our current named executive officers are: Joseph L. Hooley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Michael F. Rogers, President and Chief Operating Officer; James S. Phalen, Vice Chairman; Michael W. Bell, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Jeffrey N. Carp, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. As previously disclosed, Mr. Phalen (age 66) is retiring on January 20, 2017.
