Departure of Directors or Certain Officers, Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
(e) Amendment of Certain Compensatory Plans.
On September 18, 2007, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of
Corn Products International, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Company’s Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), which had previously been amended and restated as of January 1, 2001.
The amendments to the SERP consisted of changes required to make the plan compliant with Internal
Revenue Code Section 409A and regulations issued thereunder: for example, de-linking distributions
from nonqualified Cash Balance Make-up Accounts and Savings Plan Make-up Accounts under the SERP
from the timing of distributions made under the qualified plans to which they relate; requiring
that all distribution elections be made not later that the latest date permitted under Section
409A; requiring that distributions resulting from a separation from service of a participant not
commence any earlier than six months after the separation from service; and permitting elections to
be made prior to January 1, 2008 with respect to previously deferred compensation, to the extent
permitted by the transition relief under Section 409A; and other changes which were not material.
