Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On December 11, 2008, the company is holding a conference for investment analysts. In connection
with the conference, the company issued a press release, a copy of which is furnished to the
Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
The compensation committee of the board of directors has approved a change in the company’s
Performance Award program for management under the company’s 2002 Lilly Stock Plan. Performance
Awards provide employees with shares of Lilly common stock if certain company financial performance
goals are met over a designated award period. The stock is paid out at the end of the award
period; executive officers are required to retain the stock for at least an additional one year
after the award period. For the past several years, the award period has been one year. Beginning
with grants made in 2009, the award period for Performance Awards will be extended to two years.
Solely during the transition year of 2009, employees will receive both a one-year and two-year
award. The form of two-year award to be granted to executive officers is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to
this Form 8-K.
