Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 22, 2005, BearingPoint, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its Deferred Compensation Plan, in which executive officers may participate in, to provide that, effective as of December 31, 2004, the Deferred Compensation Plan is closed to new participants. The amendment further provides that deferral amounts and employer matching amounts, if any, earned after December 31, 2004 in respect of existing participants will not be made to the Deferred Compensation Plan. The amendment also changed the definition of a “Plan Year” to mean the four month period beginning on September 1, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2004, and, thereafter, a twelve month period commencing January 1 and ending December 31, effective as of September 1, 2004.
Previously, the Company had approved a new BearingPoint, Inc. Managing Directors Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to deferral of compensation earned after December 31, 2004. The BearingPoint, Inc. Managing Directors Deferred Compensation Plan is substantially identical to the Deferred Compensation Plan except for those changes required for the plan to comply with recently adopted IRS Code Section 409A. Those changes include provisions regarding the timing of elections in the plan, the timing of plan distributions and permitted revisions for plan distributions.
