Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) On April 26, 2012, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of XL Group plc (the “Company”) adopted the XL Group plc Reinsurance Supplemental Long Term Cash Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Mr. James Veghte, Executive Vice President, Chief Executive of Reinsurance Operations, is a participant in the Plan.
Under the Plan, Mr. Veghte is eligible to receive payment of a cash award based on (i) the compound annual growth rate in net written premium for the Company’s reinsurance operations, relative to an industry peer group, for the four-year performance period beginning January 1, 2012, and (ii) combined ratio for the Company’s reinsurance operations for the four accident years in the performance period.
Payment of the amount earned by Mr. Veghte, if any, under the Plan is to be made in cash installments over the three-year period following the performance period and is subject to Mr. Veghte’s continued employment through February 15, 2016. Special provisions apply in the event of Mr. Veghte’s death, disability or termination by the Company not for cause, as set forth in the Plan.
The Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
