Exhibit 10.8
HOSPIRA SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION
PLAN
( Effective as of May 1, 2004 and as
amended through the Second Amendment
effective January 1,
2008)
HOSPIRA SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN
Section 1
INTRODUCTION
1-1.
Pursuant to a Separation and
Distribution Agreement by and between Abbott Laboratories
(“Abbott”) and Hospira, Inc.
(“Hospira”) dated as of April 12 2004, Abbott
distributed as a dividend to its shareholders all of the
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
Hospira, together with the associated preferred stock purchase
rights, owned by Abbott (the “Distribution”). In
connection with the Distribution, Hospira established the
Abbott/Hospira Transitional Annuity Retirement Plan (the
“Annuity Plan”) and certain assets and liabilities were
transferred from the Abbott Laboratories Annuity Retirement Plan
(the “Abbott ARP”) to the Annuity Plan with respect to
persons who were transferred from employment with Abbott to
employment with Hospira in connection or contemporaneously with the
Distribution (“Transferred Employees”). In
connection with the Distribution, Hospira also assumed certain
liabilities with respect to Transferred Employees under the Abbott
Laboratories Supplemental Pension Plan (the “Abbott
SERP”). Hospira now desires to establish this HOSPIRA
SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN (the “Supplemental Plan”) to
provide (i) the benefits associated with the obligations
assumed by Hospira with respect to Transferred Employees under the
Abbott SERP, (ii) pension benefits calculated under the
Annuity Plan in excess of those which may be paid under that plan
under the limits imposed by Section 415 of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended
(“ERISA”), and (iii) the additional pension
benefits that would be payable under the Annuity Plan if deferred
awards under the Performance Incentive Plan and, with respect to
any Transferred Employee, under the Management Incentive Plan prior
to the Effective Date (as defined below) were included in
“final earnings” as defined
2
in the Annuity Plan. This Supplemental Plan is
established effective as of May 1, 2004 (the “Effective
Date”).
1-2.
The Supplemental Plan shall apply to
employees of Hospira and its subsidiaries and affiliates existing
as of the Effective Date or thereafter created or acquired.
(Hospira and each of such subsidiaries and affiliates are
hereinafter referred to as an “employer” and
collectively as the “employers”).
1-3.
All benefits provided under the
Supplemental Plan shall be provided from the general assets of the
employers and not from any trust fund or other designated
asset. All participants in the Supplemental Plan shall be
general creditors of the employers with no priority over other
creditors.
1-4.
The Supplemental Plan shall be
administered by the Hospira, Inc. Employee Benefit Board of
Review appointed by the Board of Directors of Hospira (the
“Board of Directors”) and acting under the Charter of
the Hospira, Inc. Employee Benefit Board of Review
(“Board of Review”). Except as stated below, the
Board of Review shall perform all powers and duties with respect to
the Supplemental Plan, including the power to direct payment of
benefits, allocate costs among employers, adopt amendments and
determine questions of interpretation. The Board of Directors
shall have the sole authority to terminate the Supplemental
Plan.
1-5. Effective
December 31, 2004, the Annuity Plan is being amended to
provide that no benefits shall accrue under the Annuity Plan after
such date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Supplemental
Plan to the contrary, no Annuity Plan participant shall accrue a
Supplemental Plan benefit after December 31, 2004, and each
Annuity Plan participant shall have his benefit under the
Supplemental Plan determined as of a date that is no later than
December 31, 2004.

Section 2
ERISA ANNUITY PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT
2-1.
The benefits described in this
Section 2 shall apply to all participants in the Annuity Plan
who retire, or terminate with a vested pension under that plan, on
or after the Effective Date.
2-2.
Each Annuity Plan participant whose
retirement or vested pension under that plan would otherwise be
limited by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code shall
receive a supplemental pension under this Supplemental Plan in an
amount, which, when added to his or her Annuity Plan pension, will
equal the amount the participant would be entitled to under the
Annuity Plan as in effect from time to time, based on the
particular option selected by the participant, without regard to
the limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue
Code.
Section 3
1986 TAX REFORM ACT SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT
3-1.
The benefits described in this
Section 3 shall apply to all participants in the Annuity Plan
who retire, or terminate with a vested pension under that plan
after the Effective Date.
3-2.
Each Annuity Plan participant shall
receive a supplemental pension under this Supplemental Plan in an
amount equal to the difference, if any, between:
(a)
the monthly benefit payable under
the Annuity Plan plus any supplement provided by Section 2;
and
(b)
the monthly benefit which would have
been payable under the Annuity Plan (without regard to the limits
imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code) if the
participant’s “final earnings”, as defined in the
Annuity Plan, had included compensation in excess of the limits
imposed by Section 401(a)(17)of the Internal Revenue Code, and
any “pre-tax contributions” made by the participant
under the Hospira Supplemental 401(k) Plan.
4
For purposes of calculating the benefit under
this Section 3-2 with respect to any Transferred Employee, any
pre-tax contributions made by the participant under the Abbott
Laboratories Supplemental 401(k) Plan prior to the Effective
Date shall be treated as though made under the Hospira Supplemental
401(k) Plan.
Section 4
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN ANNUITY PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL
BENEFIT
4-1.
The benefits described in this
Section 4 shall apply to all participants in the Annuity Plan
who retire, or terminate with a vested pension, under that plan, on
or after the Effective Date and who made a Deferral Election under
the Abbott Laboratories Deferred Compensation Plan (the
“Deferred Compensation Plan”) with respect to any
calendar month during the one hundred twenty consecutive calendar
months immediately preceding retirement or termination of
employment. For purposes of calculating the benefit
under this Section 4 with respect to any Transferred Employee,
amounts deferred under the Abbott Laboratories Deferred
Compensation Plan prior to the Effective Date shall be treated as
deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan.
4-2.
Each Annuity Plan participant shall
receive a supplemental pension under this Supplemental Plan in an
amount equal to the difference, if any, between:
(a)
the monthly benefit payable under
the Annuity Plan plus any supplement provided by Section 2 and
Section 3; and
(b)
the monthly benefit which would have
been payable under the Annuity Plan (without regard to the limits
imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code) if the
participant’s “base earnings”, as defined in the
Annuity Plan, included deferrals made under the Deferred
Compensation Plan and any compensation in excess of the limits
imposed by Section 401(a)(17)of the Internal Revenue
Code
5
Section 5
DEFERRED MIP ANNUITY PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT
5-1.
The benefits described in this
Section 5 shall apply to all participants in the Annuity Plan
who retire, or terminate with a vested pension, under that plan, on
or after the Effective Date and who were awarded Performance
Incentive Plan awards for any calendar year during the ten
consecutive calendar years ending with the year of retirement or
termination of employment. For purposes of
calculating the benefits under this Section 5 with respect to
any Transferred Employee, awards and payments made prior to the
Effective Date under the Management Incentive Plan, Awards for
Performance Excellence Plan or any Division Incentive Plan
maintained by Abbott shall be treated as awards and payments, as
applicable, under the Performance Incentive Plan, Awards for
Performance Excellence or a Division Incentive Plan maintained by
Hospira after the Effective Date.
5-2.
Each Annuity Plan participant shall
receive a supplemental pension under this Supplemental Plan in an
amount determined as follows:
(a)
The supplemental pension shall be
the difference, if any, between:
(i)
the monthly benefit payable under
the Annuity Plan plus any supplement provided by Section 2,
Section 3, and Section 4; and
(ii)
the monthly benefit which would have
been payable under the Annuity Plan (without regard to the limits
imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code) if the
participant’s “final earnings”, as defined in the
Annuity Plan, were one-sixtieth of the sum of:
(A)
the participant’s total
“basic earnings” (excluding any payments under the
Performance Incentive Plan, Awards for Performance Excellence Plan
or any Division Incentive Plan) received in the sixty consecutive
calendar months for which his basic earnings (excluding any
payments under the Performance Incentive Plan, Awards for
Performance Excellence Plan or any Division Incentive Plan) were
highest within the last one hundred twenty consecutive calendar
months immediately preceding his retirement or termination of
employment; and
6
(B)
the amount of the
participant’s total awards under the Performance Incentive
Plan, Awards for Performance Excellence Plan and any Division
Incentive Plan (whether paid immediately or deferred) made for the
five consecutive calendar years during the ten consecutive calendar
years ending with the year of retirement or termination for which
such amount is the greatest and (for participants granted
Performance Incentive Plan awards for less than five consecutive
calendar years during such ten year period) which include all
Performance Incentive Plan awards granted for consecutive calendar
years within such ten year period.
(b)
That portion of any Performance
Incentive Plan award which the Compensation Committee has
determined shall be excluded from the participant’s
“basic earnings” shall be excluded from the calculation
of “final earnings” for purposes of this
Section 5-2 and that portion of any award under the Management
Incentive Plan which, prior to the Effective Date, the Compensation
Committee of Abbott had determined would be excluded from a
Transferred Employee’s “basic earnings” shall be
excluded from the calculation of “final earnings” for
purposes of this Section 5-2. “Final
earnings” for purposes of this subsection 5-2 shall include
any compensation in excess of the limits imposed by
Section 401(a)(17)of the Internal Revenue Code.
(c)
In the event the period described in
subsection 5-2(a)(ii)(B) is the final five calendar years of
employment and a Performance Incentive Plan award is made to the
participant subsequent to retirement for the participant’s
final calendar year of employment, the supplemental pension shall
be adjusted by adding such new award and subtracting a portion of
the earliest Performance Incentive Plan award included in the
calculation, from the amount determined under subsection
5-2(a)(ii)(B). The portion subtracted shall be equal to that
portion of the participant’s final calendar year of
employment during which the participant was employed by Hospira;
provided, however, that in the case of any Transferred Employee
whose termination occurs in 2004, the portion of the
participant’s final calendar year of employment for this
purpose shall include any portion of 2004 that the participant was
employed by Abbott. If such adjustment results in a greater
supplemental pension, the greater pension shall be paid beginning
the first month following the date of such new award.
Section 6
CORPORATE OFFICER ANNUITY PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT
6-1.
The benefits described in this
Section 6 shall apply to all participants in the Annuity Plan
who are corporate officers of Hospira as of the Effective Date or
who become corporate officers thereafter, and who retire, or
terminate with a vested pension under that plan on or after the
Effective Date. The term “corporate officer” for
purposes of this Supplemental
7
Plan shall mean an individual elected an officer
of Hospira by its Board of Directors (or designated as such for
purposes of this Section 6 by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of Hospira), but shall not include assistant
officers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provision of this Supplemental Plan to the contrary, in the case of
any Transferred Employee who was a corporate officer of Abbott
immediately prior to the Effective Date and who is not a corporate
officer of Hospira on or after the Effective Date, benefits shall
be provided under this Section 6.
6-2.
Subject to the limitations and
adjustments described below, each participant described in
subsection 6-1 shall receive a monthly supplemental pension under
this Supplemental Plan commencing on the participant’s normal
retirement date under the Annuity Plan and payable as a life
annuity, equal to 6/10 of 1 percent (.006) of the
participant’s final earnings (as determined under subsection
5-2) for each of the first twenty years of the participant’s
benefit service (as defined in the Annuity Plan) occurring after
the participant’s attainment of age 35.
6-3.
In no event shall the sum of
(a) the participant’s aggregate percentage of final
earnings calculated under subsection 6-2 and (b) of the
participant’s aggregate percentage of final earnings
calculated under subsections 5.1(a)(ii)(A) and 5-1(b)(i)of the
Annuity Plan, exceed the maximum aggregate percentage of final
earnings allowed under subsection 5-1 of the Annuity Plan (without
regard to any limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code), as in
effect on the
