Dear «First_Name»:
Congratulations. You have been selected for participation in the Greif, Inc. Nonqualified Supplemental Deferred Compensation Plan (the “NQSP”).
Under the NQSP, if you are employed on December 31 of each year, your NQSP account will be credited with a contribution equal to 6% multiplied by the excess of the sum of your base salary plus annual short-term incentive plan bonus paid accrued in connection with the fiscal year ending within the applicable calendar year over the maximum compensation limit considered by the 401(k) Plan (currently $285,000). Your account will also be credited with interest calculated using the discount rate used to calculate the present value of its future obligations under the Greif Pension Plan. Note that any contribution and related interest that is attributable to an accrued annual short-term incentive payment will be forfeited if you forfeit the related annual short-term incentive payment for any reason.
NQSP benefits are subject to vesting. In general, you will vest on the earliest of: (a) completion of at least ten Years of Vesting Service (as credited under the 401(k) Plan); (b) attainment of age 65; (c) death; (d) Disability (as defined under Greif long-term disability plan); or (e) certain terminations following a Change in Control. In addition, NQSP benefits are provided on an unfunded basis.
Since you are newly eligible, you should complete the enclosed Payment Election Form as you must elect the time and form of distribution of any future benefits payable by the NQSP. (There are two forms of distribution – single lump sum and annual installment payments over 5 years). If you do not return a completed Payment Election Form electing a different form of payment within 30 days of today’s date, any NQSP benefits will be paid in a single lump sum.
These forms should be completed, signed and returned to Anjanette Fahey, Manager, Benefits Strategy, by mail to 425 Winter Rd., Delaware, OH 43015 or by email to Anjanette.Fahey@greif.com. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Anjanette by e-mail or by phone at 740-549-6133.
Sincerely,
Ginnie Hough
