On December 5, 2008, Avon Products, Inc. (the Company) entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Andrea Jung, the Companys
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the Amended Agreement). The Amended Agreement amends Ms. Jungs prior Employment Agreement, dated December 11, 1997, primarily to bring such agreement into compliance with
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (409A) and to incorporate existing benefits under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan into her agreement, as Ms. Jung is the sole remaining active participant under such Plan.
As required under 409A for all specified employees (generally defined under 409A as the fifty highest paid officers at a public company), the
Amended Agreement provides that any cash payments and certain benefits to be provided following any separation from service are subject to a six-month wait period. Also, as required under 409A, the Amended Agreement provides for definitive
provisions regarding the form and timing of payments.
Consistent with the Companys severance policy as to form and time of payments, the agreement
has been amended to provide that a portion of any severance payments payable to Ms. Jung would be paid as salary continuation over two years rather than in a lump sum and, in accordance with such policy, Ms. Jungs stock options would
continue to vest and be exercisable during such period in the event of an involuntary termination of employment by the Company without cause.
The above
summary of the material terms of the Amended Agreement with Ms. Jung is qualified by reference to the text of the Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
