Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 8, 2013, we adopted the LSI Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, effective January 1, 2014. The plan is intended to provide a deferred compensation benefit to a select group of highly compensated employees and to non-employee directors, and is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Under the plan, participants may elect to defer base salary, annual bonuses, sales incentive compensation and, in the case of directors, retainers and meeting fees, all of which have been earned and are otherwise payable.

Deferrals are fully vested at all times. LSI may, but is not required to, make additional contributions to the plan.

Deferrals and any company contributions to the plan will be credited to a bookkeeping account maintained on behalf of a participant. Each account will be valued as if it were hypothetically invested in one or more investment funds made available by LSI and selected by the participant. We will also establish a grantor trust for the purpose of accumulating assets from which liabilities to plan participants can be paid. Assets set aside in this trust will be subject to the claims of LSI’s creditors in the event of its insolvency or bankruptcy. Plan participants are general, unsecured creditors of the company with respect to plan benefits.

Distributions will be made from the plan at times selected by the participant or if a termination of employment, death or disability occurs.
