Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 9, 2013 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Forest Oil Corporation (“Forest”) determined to disburse, on January 16, 2014 (the "Disbursement Date"), all amounts held in participant accounts in the Forest Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDC Plan”) that would not have been disbursed in accordance with the terms of the EDC Plan prior to the Disbursement Date. The Committee previously adopted an amendment to terminate the EDC Plan as of December 18, 2012, which was disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Forest filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2012. Such amendment provided that that all participant accounts must be liquidated and disbursed to the participants within 12 months following the first anniversary of the termination, in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As of December 9, 2013, the following named executive officers had the balances listed below in the EDC Plan:
