On March 12, 2014, the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of Alliant Energy Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Alliant Energy Defined Contribution Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “DC SRP”) for certain officers of the Company, including a named executive officer. The DC SRP was amended to provide full vesting of the DC SRP after 5 years of participation in the DC SRP provided the officer has reached age 55. The amendment is consistent with the vesting schedule of other defined contribution retirement plans. This amendment does not cause immediate vesting for any named executive officer. The amendment also includes a technical change clarifying the benchmark mutual fund used to determine the earnings credit for the DC SRP. The DC SRP was previously eliminated as an executive benefit for new executive officers. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment to the DC SRP, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
