(e) 2012 Annual Incentive Compensation Award Criterion. On February 22, 2012, the Organization & Compensation Committee (the Compensation Committee) of The Chubb Corporation (Chubb) determined that the performance goal to be used for calculating 2012 annual incentive compensation awards will be Chubb’s 2012 operating income, subject to adjustment to account for the reduction in investment income attributable to Chubb’s repurchase of shares of common stock.

Salary Actions. On February 22, 2012, the Compensation Committee approved the 2012 base salaries for the following named executive officers: John D. Finnegan, Richard G. Spiro, Paul J. Krump, Dino E. Robusto and Harold L. Morrison, Jr. A schedule of the salaries of Chubb’s named executive officers is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02. The new salaries are effective as of April 1, 2012.

Form of Performance Unit Award Agreement.

Amendment to Employment Agreement. On February 23, 2012, Chubb’s Board of Directors and John D. Finnegan agreed to an amendment to Mr. Finnegan’s employment agreement (the Employment Agreement).
