     On March 7, 2006, The Clorox Company (the “Company”) filed a Form 8-K announcing that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company had named Robert W. Matschullat as interim chairman and interim chief executive officer following the hospitalization of chairman and chief executive officer Gerald E. “Jerry” Johnston. On March 14, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the compensation for Mr. Matschullat’s service as interim chairman and interim chief executive officer. Mr. Matschullat will receive $87,500 per month in base salary while he serves as interim chairman and interim chief executive officer. During that period, Mr. Matschullat will no longer be entitled to receive the compensation payable to non-employee directors of the Company.
