ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) As previously reported, The New York Times Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) was amended on October 11, 2007, to make technical changes required to bring the Plan into compliance with the final regulations issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In light of the transition relief recently issued by the Internal Revenue Service that extended the deadline for compliance with Section 409A through December 31, 2008, the Plan was amended and restated on November 19, 2007 to rescind the technical changes that were made on October 11, 2007, to bring the Plan into compliance with Section 409A, while retaining certain administrative and clarifying amendments.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
