(e)Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On August8, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Dean Foods Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), amended certain terms of the Company’s 2018 Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2018 STI Plan”). The amended 2018 STI Plan will apply to all plan participants, including the executive officers of the Company. Given that 2018 is an important year of transition and transformation for Dean Foods, the Company wants to ensure continued employee engagement and focus on executing on the Company’s commercial agenda, cost productivity initiatives and enterprise-wide productivity plan through the balance of the year. The amended 2018 STI Plan eliminates the requirement that a minimum adjusted operating income (“AOI”) be achieved in 2018 as a condition to the payout of any portion of the award related to individual performance objectives. Thus, the 2018 STI Plan, as amended, now allows a potential payout to a participant for that portion of an award earned based on his or her performance of individual objectives, without regard to the Company’s financial performance in 2018 against the minimum AOI target.
The 2018 STI Plan, as amended, is attached to this Form8-K as Exhibit10.1, and this description is qualified entirely by reference thereto.
