Salesforce launches executive deferred compensation plan allowing salary, bonus deferrals up to 75%, 90%

Accounts track returns via participant-selected notional investment options. There is no employer match, though discretionary contributions are permitted.

The company can set up a rabbi trust; assets would remain available to general creditors in an insolvency.

Salesforce adopted an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan on Sept. 2, 2026 for executive officers and other eligible employees.

Participants can defer up to 75% of base salary and up to 90% of their annual performance bonus.

Plan obligations are unsecured, unfunded commitments to pay deferred amounts in the future under participant elections.
