Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 22, 2013, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA") approved the following items related to compensation: (i) changes to the design of the Winning Performance Team Incentive Plan ("WPTIP") and Executive Annual Incentive Plan ("EAIP") beginning in fiscal year ("FY") 2014, (ii) changes to the Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan ("ELTIP") performance measures for the FY 2011-2013 performance cycle, (iii) changes to the ELTIP performance measures for the FY 2012-2014 and FY 2013-2015 performance cycles, and (iv) establishment of the ELTIP performance measures for the FY 2014-2016 performance cycle.  Each of these items is discussed in more detail below.
WPTIP and EAIP Changes
The Board replaced the enterprise-wide performance measures and corporate modifier for the WPTIP and EAIP with a Corporate Multiplier.  The Board will establish performance goals and measures for the Corporate Multiplier, and the Board and the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") will jointly assess TVA's performance and determine the final Corporate Multiplier, which will range between 0 and 1.0, after the end of each fiscal year.  The Corporate Multiplier will then be multiplied by the performance results for each set of strategic business unit ("SBU") and business unit ("BU") goals, which will range from 0% to 150%, to determine the incentive award payouts for participants under the WPTIP and EAIP.  The CEO will set and approve the performance measures and goals for each SBU and BU for FY 2014.
The Board approved the following performance measures for the Corporate Multiplier for FY 2014: (i) safe workplace, (ii) operating cash flow, (iii) net income, (iv) total financing obligations, (v) jobs created/retained, and (vi) Board level significant events.  These measures are described in more detail in the table below:

Changes to ELTIP Performance Measures for the FY 2011-2013 Performance Cycle
The Board approved the use of the 2013 TVA Pulse Survey results instead of the Organizational Health Index results when calculating the Organizational Health Index measure for the FY 2011-2013 performance cycle.  The Pulse Survey is an internal TVA survey used to provide a snapshot of TVA's organizational health during a given period.
Changes to ELTIP Performance Measures for the FY 2012-2014 and FY 2013-2015 Performance Cycles
The Board modified the ELTIP performance measures for the
FY 2012-2014 and FY 2013-2015 performance cycles by (1) replacing the Organizational Health Index measure with an External Measures metric and (2) replacing the Retail Rates measure with a Wholesale Rate Excluding Fuel measure.  The External Measures metric is designed to maintain and enhance TVA's reputation and is derived from the following items:
