On May 1, 2012, the plan administrator of the Alico Overseas Pension Plan (the “Plan”) adopted Amendment Number Three to the Plan (the “Amendment”), effective January 1, 2012. The Plan determines each participant’s benefits based on the participant’s years of credited service and final average covered compensation. Prior to the adoption of the Amendment, a participant who was obligated to pay United States income tax for a given year (a “U.S. Taxable Participant”) did not accrue credited service or covered compensation for that year for purposes of determining benefits under the Plan. As a result of the Amendment, a U.S. Taxable Participant for a given year will accrue credited service and covered compensation for that year for purposes of calculating benefits under the Plan, reduced pro rata for the portion of the participant’s annual compensation attributable to services performed in the United States and subject to U.S. income tax.
Michel Khalaf, the President, Europe, Middle East and Africa of MetLife, Inc., is a participant in the Plan. Any change in the amounts otherwise payable to Mr. Khalaf under the Plan as a result of the Amendment will depend, in part, on the portion of Mr. Khalaf’s credited service and covered compensation under the Plan for 2012 and subsequent calendar years, if any, that are attributable to services performed in the United States and subject to U.S. income tax.
