ITEM 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Principal Officers

 

Effective February 21, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors amended the Constellation Energy Group Senior Executive Supplemental Plan, a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan, to allow participants to receive credit toward the service requirement for time spent in non-employee service to Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (“Constellation Energy”), including time spent as a member of the Board of Directors.  Under the plan, a participant must be at least age 55 with 10 or more years of service to retire and be entitled to benefits.  As a result of this change, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Mayo A. Shattuck, III, will receive an additional two years and six months of service under the plan relating to his service as a non-employee member of the Board of Directors prior to his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer.  As of February 21, 2008, Mr. Shattuck is age 53 and has been credited with 8 years, 10 months of service (including the years of director-related service) and remains ineligible for benefits under the plan.

 

Effective February 22, 2008, Ann C. Berzin was appointed to serve as an independent director of the Board of Directors of Constellation Energy and as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee.

 

Ms. Berzin will receive the standard compensation paid by Constellation Energy to all of its non-employee directors, which includes an annual cash retainer of $50,000, meeting fees of $1,500 for each Board and committee meeting attended and a restricted stock award with a value of $85,000.  The annual cash retainer and restricted stock award will be pro rated for 2008 to reflect the time Ms. Berzin will serve on Constellation Energy’s Board in 2008.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Berzin and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Berzin was selected as a director.  There are no relationships between Ms. Berzin and Constellation Energy or its subsidiaries that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

On February 22, 2008, the Board of Directors of Constellation Energy adopted an amendment revising Article II, Section 2 of Constellation Energy’s by-laws to provide that the annual meeting of stockholders for 2008 shall be held on any date during the period of June 30 through July 30, 2008, as determined by the Board.  For annual meetings subsequent to 2008, the by-laws will continue to provide that the annual meeting be held on any date during the period of May 1 through May 31, as determined year to year by the Board.

 

A copy of the amendment to the by-laws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 3

 

Amendment to By-laws of Constellation Energy Group, Inc.

 

Section 2 of Article II of the by-laws of Constellation Energy Group, Inc. shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Section 2. - - Annual Meetings.

 

The Annual Meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of general business shall be held on any date during the period of May 1 through May 31, as determined year to year by the Board; provided, that the Annual Meeting of the stockholders for the year 2008 shall be held on any date during the period June 30 through July 30, 2008, as determined by the Board.  The time and location of the meeting shall be determined by the Board.  Failure to hold an Annual Meeting does not invalidate the Corporation’s existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate acts.

 

The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, an annual report containing a full and correct statement of the affairs of the Corporation, including a balance sheet and a financial statement of operations for the preceding fiscal year, which shall be submitted to the stockholders at or prior to the Annual Meeting.
