Item 8.01. Other Events.
Effective July 1, 2005, The Corporate Executive Board Company has implemented a Deferred Compensation Plan to provide a select group of management, highly compensated employees and members of the Board of Directors with a capital accumulation opportunity by deferring compensation on a pre-tax basis. The plan provides for deferred amounts to be credited with investment returns based upon investment options selected by participants from alternatives designated from time to time by the plan administrative committee. The plan also allows the Company to make discretionary Company contributions at any time based on individual or overall corporate performance, which may be subject to a different vesting schedule than elective deferrals, and provides that the Company will make up any 401(k) plan match that is not credited to the participant’s 401(k) account due to his/her participation in the plan. Separately, the Company has established a grantor trust to hold assets utilized by the Company to pay benefits under the plan.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
The Corporate Executive Board Company
