(e) On June 20, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Ecolab Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ecolab”), approved Amendment No. 6 to the Ecolab Executive Death Benefits Plan (the “Plan”), which includes the Ecolab Inc. Administrative Document for Non-Qualified Benefit Plans (the “Administrative Document”). The participants in the Plan include each of Ecolab's named executive officers as well as a limited number of corporate officers and other executives who have been selected to participate in the Plan. Under the Plan, the beneficiary of a covered executive who was actively employed by Ecolab at the time of death is entitled to an executive death benefit equal to three times the executive’s annual compensation for the year preceding death, subject to a maximum benefit of $9,000,000. The beneficiary of a covered executive who was retired at the time of death is entitled to an executive death benefit equal to two times the executive’s average compensation for the five consecutive years of employment preceding retirement which yields the highest average compensation, subject to a maximum benefit of $750,000. Ecolab currently funds its obligations under the Plan through universal life insurance policies.
The aforementioned amendment to the Plan is applicable to the calculation of the death benefit payable to the beneficiary of an executive who was actively employed by Ecolab and covered by a universal life insurance policy at the time of death. The amendment changes the method for determining the amount of the annual incentive comprising a portion of the executive’s annual compensation for purposes of the death benefit calculation from the amount of the executive’s (a) annual incentive bonuses paid in cash which are reportable by Ecolab for federal income tax purposes as “wages” to (b) targeted annual incentive bonus at plan performance.
This summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and amendments thereto and the Administrative Document and amendments thereto, which are set forth in Item 9.01 below and incorporated by reference herein.
