UNION BANK OF
CALIFORNIA, N.A.

 

 

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE
RETIREMENT PLAN FOR
POLICY MAKING OFFICERS

 

 

As Amended and Restated Effective
September 18, 2008

 



 

ESTABLISHMENT AND
PURPOSE

 

Effective January 1, 1999, Union Bank of California, National Association established the Union Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Policy Making Officers to provide certain executives with retirement benefits in excess of those benefits provided under the Company’s Retirement Plan.

 

Using an earnings definition based on base pay, and bonuses and incentive payments and based on service completed on or after January 1, 1997, but excluding other forms of compensation, the Plan supplements benefits under the Retirement Plan to the extent such benefits are reduced due to the limits of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

 

The Bank hereby amends and restates the Plan in its entirety effective September 18, 2008.
