Third Amendment to Hormel Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (2007 Restatement)
Hormel Foods Corporation has amended its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, originally restated in 2007, to clarify how certain periods of service and compensation are recognized for executive retirement benefits. The amendment allows specific service periods and compensation amounts to be included if agreed upon in a separate written agreement between the company and the executive, provided the agreement is signed by a non-participating board member. All other terms of the retirement plan remain unchanged.
