(e) On September 16, 2008, the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the final amendments to the State
Street Corporation Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, or ESRP, formerly known as the State Street Corporation Supplemental Defined Benefit Pension Plan, and to the change of control agreements with our senior management. Each of our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ronald E. Logue, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Joseph L. Hooley, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Edward J. Resch, our Vice Chairman, Joseph C. Antonellis, and our Executive
Vice President, James S. Phalen, collectively the Named Executives, participates in the ESRP and is a party to a change of control agreement.
The amendments to the ESRP approved by the Committee primarily relate to the ratification of changes made in October 2007 addressing a shift from a defined benefit to a defined contribution structure, maintenance, on
a general basis, of accrued benefits under the plan from subsequent plan amendments or Committee actions and technical amendments relating to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The October 2007 changes to shift to a
defined contribution structure were previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2007. The maintenance of accrued benefits under the plan is subject to the
participants satisfaction of vesting conditions, compliance with restrictive covenants and the absence of grounds for termination of employment for cause.
The amendments to the change of control agreements relate primarily to compliance with Section 409A, including the six-month delay in payment rule
for specified employees, specification of time and form of payment for certain benefits, clarification that severance benefits are paid upon a separation from service and protection against operational breaches of the
Section 409A payment rules. The amendments also include a requirement that the Company provide the covered executives with written estimates of their severance benefits; clarification that any earned but unpaid annual bonus at the time of a
termination of employment is included in the severance entitlements; clarification that a covered executives severance entitlements are calculated based on the terms of the ESRP and any other retirement plans in which he participates as in
effect prior to the change of control; and other conforming changes consistent with the amendments to the ESRP.
