ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) As previously reported, Brightpoint, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into Supplemental
Retirement Benefit Agreements (“Retirement Agreements”) with each of Robert J. Laikin, the
Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and J. Mark Howell, the Registrant’s
President, Americas, which were amended and restated on
January 19, 2006. On August 16, 2011, the
Registrant amended and restated the Retirement Agreements (“Amended and Restated SERPs”) with each
of Messrs. Laikin and Howell. The Amended and Restated SERPs have been amended solely to provide
for a spousal benefit that enables each executive’s spouse to receive the supplemental retirement
benefit (“SERP”) in the event of such executive’s death, and otherwise remain the same.
The Amended and Restated SERPs provide that if the executive dies prior to the commencement of the
SERP payments, the executive’s spouse will begin receiving the SERP benefit within 60 days of the
executive’s death. The SERP benefit will still be paid monthly and would be subject to the same
maximum payment amount and 10-year maximum payment period. The SERP benefit to the executive’s
spouse will be calculated based on the executive’s accrued service at the date of death and will be
discounted back to the date of death for any payments made earlier than the time the executive
would have reached age 62.
If the executive dies while receiving SERP benefits, the executive’s spouse will receive the
remaining unpaid SERP benefits for the balance of the 10-year period, with the annual amount paid
in monthly increments. If, at the time of the executive’s death, the executive does not have a
legal spouse, or, if the executive’s spouse dies while receiving SERP benefits, this benefit will
be forfeited.
