Xylem Inc

The primary focus of our executive compensation program is on base salary, AIP and LTIP awards, but we also provide other limited benefits that are market-competitive and deemed necessary to attract, motivate and retain a high-quality management team.

Retirement and Benefit Plans

NEOs (excluding Mr. Yarkadas) participate in the same U.S. retirement and benefit plans as the broader population of salaried employees, as applicable.

•

Retirement plans generally include the tax-qualified retirement savings plan, the non-qualified retirement savings plan, and the deferred compensation plans. We do not provide defined benefit retirement plans to the U.S. salaried population.

•

Benefit plans generally include group medical and dental coverage, group life insurance, group accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and short- and long-term disability insurance.

Mr. Yarkadas participates in the same retirement plan as the broader population of Switzerland-based salaried employees, as applicable.

Executive Perqui sites

The Company does not provide any perquisites to NEOs with the exception that Mr. Yarkadas is eligible for and receives a car allowance on terms consistent with local Swiss policy that is aligned to market practice.

Severance Plan Arrangements

Xylem offers severance plan arrangements to provide transitional assistance to NEOs who are terminated from the Company either without cause or following a change of control. Xylem maintains two severance plans for its senior executives - the Xylem Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan and the Xylem Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. These plans are described in more detail in the “Potential Post-Employment Compensation” section.
