On December 1, 2013, AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the “Company”) amended and restated the AmerisourceBergen Corporation Supplemental 401(k) Plan (“Original Plan”) filed as Exhibit 10.20 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The Original Plan, as amended and restated, is now known as the AmerisourceBergen Corporation Benefit Restoration Plan (the “Benefit Restoration Plan”). The amendments to the Original Plan include changing the name of the Original Plan, expanding and clarifying eligibility requirements, and specifying plan termination requirements.

 

The Benefit Restoration Plan offers a supplemental 401(k) plan to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, including the named executive officers.  The Company implemented the Original Plan to address the absence of any non-legacy executive retirement plan following the 2001 merger to form the Company and to permit executives to receive the full amount of the Company match available for other employees generally under the 401(k) plan. The Benefit Restoration Plan provides an annual contribution amount equal to 4% of a participant’s salary and bonus to the extent that his or her compensation exceeds IRS limits applicable to the Company’s 401(k) plan. The compensation of the named executive officers pursuant to the Benefit Restoration Plan remains unchanged from the compensation under the Original Plan.

 

A copy of the Benefit Restoration Plan is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9.01.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

(d)                     Exhibit.

 

10.1                                  AmerisourceBergen Corporation Benefit Restoration Plan, Amended and Restated December 1, 2013.
