TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 22, 2005, Steelcase Inc. executed the 2007-1 Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the
Steelcase Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”).
The Deferred Compensation Plan was amended to allow participants, effective January 1, 2006, to
reduce the time period during which their election to defer base salary and/or bonuses must remain
in effect from the five plan years beginning after the election to the single plan year beginning
after the election. Participants may choose to change their elections during the election period
preceding each plan year, but will not be required to do so if they want their election to remain
in effect for future plan years.
In addition, the Amendment allows participants to make a special, one-time election as permitted by
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Participants are allowed to make a special, one-time election
by December 15, 2005 to receive a distribution of all or a portion of the amount credited to their
accounts in the Deferred Compensation Plan on November 30, 2005. Payments to participants who make
this special election will be made by December 31, 2005.
The Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.01 and is incorporated by reference herein.
