Mr. Davis has accepted a position as Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. In connection with such resignation, the Company considers the Employment Agreement, originally dated April 21, 1998, and amended and restated on March 29, 1999 and March 26, 2004, between Alliant Energy Corporation and Mr. Davis (the “Employment Agreement”), terminated effective February 1, 2006, except, however, for those provisions that survive termination, including provisions obligating Mr. Davis to avoid disclosing confidential information about the Company.
The termination of the Employment Agreement will trigger a payment of $104,000 from Alliant Energy Corporation to Mr. Davis. This amount represents, on a pro-rated basis, the maximum short-term incentive compensation Mr. Davis would have been eligible to receive for 2006. All other payments due to Mr. Davis as a result of his termination of employment are payable pursuant to the terms of other applicable arrangements and are not impacted by the termination of the Employment Agreement.
