     (e) Material Compensatory Plan.
 
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 18, 2011, on February 15, 2011, as part of its ongoing review of compensation plans and benchmarking of executive compensation levels, the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of The Clorox Company approved an Executive Retirement Plan, which is a defined contribution nonqualified deferred compensation plan. In conjunction with the adoption of the Executive Retirement Plan, on July 29, 2011, the Committee adopted Amendment No.1 (the “Amendment”) to The Clorox Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Prior SERP”). In addition to certain administrative amendments, the Amendment confirms that no new participants will be added to the Prior SERP and freezes the Prior SERP such that under the Prior SERP compensation, for purposes of determining accrued benefits under the Prior SERP, shall disregard any compensation earned for any period of service after June 30, 2011.
