As previously announced, on June 1, 2010, Carl L. Chapman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Vectren Corporation (the “Company”), assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer upon the retirement of Niel C. Ellerbrook. Effective as of that date, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) increased Mr. Chapman’s annual base salary from $440,000 to $600,000. The Committee also increased Mr. Chapman’s annual incentive opportunity from 65% to 80% of his new annual base salary effective for the 2010 calendar year. This annual incentive opportunity is determined based upon the Company’s performance relative to three pre-established metrics: the Company’s earnings per share, employee safety performance and customer satisfaction.
