Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 20, 2007, the Organization and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Progress Energy, Inc. (the "Company") adopted a new sub-plan to the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Approval of the new sub-plan was an administrative matter resulting from the approval of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan by Company’s shareholders at the May 9, 2007 Annual Meeting. The new sub-plan is identical, with respect to future awards, to the previously disclosed Exhibit C to the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan ("Sub-Plan C") and provides that performance shares issued under the new sub-plan will utilize total shareholder return as the sole metric for determining the amount of an award upon vesting. In order to ensure that the performance metrics are not unduly affected by price to earnings ratio changes that are largely out of management’s control, the Committee designed the total shareholder return performance metrics to be calculated assuming a constan t price to earnings ratio, which will be set at the beginning of each grant’s performance period. The performance metrics also use core ongoing earnings as the earnings component for performance measurement purposes. The new sub-plan replaces Sub-Plan C with respect to future performance shares issued by the Company.
