(e) On November 1, 2007, the Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Alliant Energy Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the Alliant Energy Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2008 (the “AEDCP”). The Committee also approved merging the Wisconsin Power & Light Company Deferred Compensation Plan I and the Wisconsin Power & Light Company Deferred Compensation Plan II (collectively, the “WPL Plans”) into the AEDCP. Also on November 1, 2007, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board approved merging the Alliant Energy Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (the “Directors’ Plan”) into the AEDCP. The mergers of the WPL Plans and the Directors’ Plan into the AEDCP will be effective on January 1, 2008. After the merger, the participants in the WPL Plans and the Directors’ Plan will be participants in the AEDCP.
The amendments to the AEDCP were primarily intended to conform the AEDCP with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, the amendments to the AEDCP changed the interest rate payable on amounts invested in a participant’s Interest Account; provided a new investment option for participants, the Equity Account, in which deferrals earn a return that tracks the S&P 500 Index; and updated the employer match provision to conform it to changes made in the Company’s qualified savings plan.
The foregoing description of the AEDCP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the AEDCP, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
