(e) Alamo Group Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The Board of Directors of Alamo Group Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted the Alamo Group Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of January 3, 2011. The Plan will benefit certain key management or other highly compensated employees of the Company and/or certain subsidiaries who are selected by the Board to participate, including Ronald A. Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dan E. Malone, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, Donald C. Duncan, Vice-President and General Counsel, Robert H. George, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, Richard D. Pummell, Vice-President of the Agricultural Division and Richard J. Wehrle, Vice-President and Controller.
The Plan is intended to provide a benefit from the Company upon retirement, death or disability or a change in control of the Company. Accordingly, the Plan obligates the Company to pay to a participant a Retirement Benefit (as defined in the Plan) upon the occurrence of certain payment events to the extent a participant has a vested right thereto. A participant’s right to his Retirement Benefit becomes vested in the Company’s contributions upon 10 years of Credited Service (as defined in the Plan) following the effective date of the Plan or a change in control of the Company. In the event of the participant’s death or a change in control, the participant’s Retirement Benefit will be paid in a lump sum to the participant or his estate, as applicable, within 90 days after the participant’s death or a change in control, as applicable. In the event the participant is entitled to a benefit from the Plan due to disability, retirement or other termination of employment, the benefit will be paid in monthly installments over a period of fifteen years.
The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
