Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

 

Item 5.02: Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On February 1, 2012, Evelyn V. Follit was elected a member of the TECO Energy, Inc. and Tampa Electric Company Boards of Directors and was appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board of TECO Energy, Inc. As a non-employee director of TECO Energy, Inc. and Tampa Electric Company, Ms. Follit will receive compensation consistent with that provided to all non-employee directors, which compensation program currently provides for an annual retainer of $50,000, attendance fees of $750 for each TECO Energy, Inc. and Tampa Electric Company Board meeting, and $1,500 for each meeting of a committee of the Board on which she serves. Non-employee directors also receive an annual grant of 3,000 shares of restricted stock vesting on the anniversary date of the grant, which is prorated for directors who join after the annual grant date; therefore, Ms. Follit received a grant of 750 shares of restricted stock containing substantially the same vesting provisions and other terms as the last annual grant of restricted stock to non-employee directors in May 2011.
