Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 13, 2010, the shareholders of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (the"Company") approved the Company's 2010 Non-Equity Incentive Plan ("2010 Plan").

Participation in the 2010 Plan is limited to executive officers and other key employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Awards granted to participants under the 2010 Plan are specified as a dollar amount or percentage, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The right to receive payment of any award will be based solely on the attainment of one or more specific, objective, predetermined performance factors selected by the Compensation Committee within the earlier of the first 90 days of a performance period or the date which is 25% of the applicable performance period. For the chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers ("162(m) officers"), performance factors will be based solely on one or more of the following business criteria: sales values, margins, volume, cash flow, stock price, market share, revenue, sales, earnings per share, profits, income from operations, earnings before interest expense and taxes, earnings before interest expense, interest income and taxes, earnings before interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and/or amortization, earnings before interest expense, interest income, taxes, and depreciation and/or amortization, pre-tax income, pre-tax income before any expenses related to the 2010 Plan, return on equity or costs, return on invested or average capital employed, economic value, or cumulative total return to shareholders of profit centers, or the Company as a whole. Under the 2010 Plan, the Company's Compensation Committee may designate other performance criteria for awards to participants who are not 162(m) officers of the Company.

The maximum amount of an incentive payment that may be made to any participant under the 2010 Plan, for any performance period, may not exceed 2% of the Company's pre-tax revenue. Participants will receive all of their incentive payments under the 2010 Plan in the form of cash.

The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual plan document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
