Supplemental Retirement Benefits
1. History. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of one hundred percent (100%) of CHS McPherson Refinery Inc., formerly National Cooperative Refinery Association, a Kansas corporation (“CMRI”), the Company assumed all deferred compensation obligations under the I.R.C. § 409A National Cooperative Refinery Association Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Retirement Plan (“NCRA Plan”). The NCRA Plan is maintained under a document entitled “I.R.C. § 409A National Cooperative Refinery Association Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Retirement Plan, As Restated Effective January 1, 2008”, as amended by one amendment.
Pursuant to Article IV of the NCRA Plan, if a participant in the NCRA Plan (an “NCRA Participant”) becomes entitled to a retirement benefit under either the National Cooperative Refinery Association Employee Retirement Plan or the National Cooperative Refinery Association Savings and Retirement Plan or both (collectively, the “NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans”), and such retirement benefit is limited by section 401(a)(17) or section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Limitations”), then the NCRA Participant becomes entitled to a Supplemental Retirement Benefit payable under the NCRA Plan equal to (a) less the sum of (b) and (c), where:
(a) is the amount the NCRA Participant and/or his beneficiary would be entitled to receive under the terms and provisions of the NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans, based on the participant’s actual annuity starting date and the then normal form of retirement income payment under the NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans, based on the NCRA Participant’s actual annuity starting date and the NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans’ normal form of retirement income payment, assuming the limitations;
(b) is the amount the NCRA Participant and/or his beneficiary is actually entitled to receive under the NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans, based on the NCRA Participant’s actual annuity starting date and the NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans’ normal form of retirement income payment; and
(c) is the amount, if any, the NCRA Participant and/or his beneficiary is actually entitled to receive under the NCRA Frozen (as of December 31, 2004) Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Retirement Plan, based on the NCRA Participant’s actual annuity starting date and the NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans’ normal form of retirement income payment.

2. Merger of Plans. Effective December 31, 2015, the NCRA Qualified Defined Benefit Plans shall be merged into the CHS Inc. Pension Plan under Sections XIII and XIV. Each Supplemental Retirement Benefit payable under the NCRA Plan shall be transferred to and become part of this Plan. Each CMRI (formerly known as NCRA) Participant selected to actively participate in this Plan is eligible for the benefit described below.
3. Amount of Supplemental Retirement Benefit. The amount of a CMRI Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit under this Plan shall be equal to (a) less the sum of (b) and (c), where:
(a) is the amount the CMRI Participant and/or his beneficiary would be entitled to receive under the terms and provisions of the CHS Inc. Pension Plan, based on the participant’s actual annuity starting date and the then normal form of retirement income payment under the CHS Inc. Pension Plan, based on the CMRI Participant’s actual annuity starting date and the CHS Inc. Pension Plan’s normal form of retirement income payment, assuming the limitations;
(b) is the amount the CMRI Participant and/or his beneficiary is actually entitled to receive under the CHS Inc. Pension Plan, based on the CMRI Participant’s actual annuity starting date and the CHS Inc. Pension Plan’s normal form of retirement income payment; and
(c) is the amount, if any, the CMRI Participant and/or his beneficiary is actually entitled to receive under the NCRA Frozen (as of December 31, 2004) Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Retirement Plan, based on the CMRI Participant’s actual annuity starting date and the CHS Inc. Pension Plan’s normal form of retirement income payment.
